OBJECTIVE:Postoperative recurrence is a common complication of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy for lumbar disc herniation,which can significantly increase the risk of reoperation.A well-performing risk prediction model can help identify high-risk groups early and prevent postoperative recurrence.This study systematically evaluated the risk prediction model for postoperative recurrence after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy to provide a reference for surgical decision-making.METHODS:The PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP,and CBM were electronically searched to collect studies on the recurrence risk prediction models after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy from inception to July 1,2024.Two reviewers independently screened the literature and extracted data.The models' risk of bias,applicability,and report quality were assessed using prediction model risk of bias assessment tool(PROBAST)and Transparent Reporting of a Multivariable Prediction Model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis(TRIPOD)tools,respectively.Meta-analysis of postoperative recurrence rate of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy and related predictors was performed using Revman 5.4 software.RESULTS:(1)A total of 15 studies were included,all of which were retrospective studies,including 24 models for predicting the risk of recurrence after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.(2)The PROBAST evaluation results indicated that all 15 studies exhibited a high risk of bias.Regarding applicability,two studies demonstrated a low risk,while 13 presented a high risk.(3)Regarding the TRIPOD reporting quality,the overall quality across the 15 studies was low.The primary reasons for this low compliance included the failure to report blinding,a lack of explanation for the sample size calculation method,lack of detailed description of missing data processing methods,and lack of information such as introduction to the model used.(4)Furthermore,the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the model ranged from 0.684 to 0.972,with the number of potential predictor variables varying from 15 to 28.(5)The results of meta-analysis showed that the postoperative recurrence rate of lumbar disc herniation patients treated with percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy was 12％(95％CI=9.0％-15.0％),Modic changes(OR=6.72,95％CI=3.90-11.59),body mass index(OR=1.28,95％CI=1.10-1.49),work intensity(OR=3.22,95％CI=1.85-5.59),age(OR=2.28,95％CI=1.50-3.48),and smoking history(OR=2.65,95％CI=1.75-4.00)were independent influencing factors for postoperative recurrence of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy(all P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The overall predictive performance of the recurrence risk prediction models after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy is satisfactory;however,the model exhibits a high overall risk of bias and applicability,coupled with low reporting quality.Additionally,there is a lack of prospective research and external validation.Future,risk prediction models should consider factors such as Modic changes,body mass index,work intensity,age,and smoking history as potential predictors.

LIU Wansu， as the foremost of the four great masters of the Jin-Yuan period， established the "theory of fire-heat'' and extended the fire-heat pathogenesis framework to the field of stroke， thereby forming the theory of ''fire-heat inducing stroke''. This achieved a paradigmatic shift in stroke etiology from ''exogenous wind inducing stroke'' to ''fire-heat inducing stroke''. This paper systematically reviews the developmental trajectory of LIU Wansu's ''fire-heat inducing stroke'' theory and explores the social background， academic origins， and core connotations of its theoretical construction. The study found that， based on the ''Nineteen Pathomechanisms'' in the Huangdi's Internal Classic （Huang Di Nei Jing） and combined with clinical practice， LIU Wansu proposed that fire-heat is the fundamental cause of stroke， and that the Six Climatic Factors and the Five Zhi-Emotions can all transform into fire. He further constructed a stratified syndrome differentiation and therapeutic system centered on clearing heat and purging fire， emphasizing differentiated treatment of exterior and interior syndromes， Six Meridians syndrome differentiation， and seasonally adjusted medication. This theory not only resolved the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas of febrile epidemic diseases during the Jin-Yuan period， but also exerted a profound influence on later physicians such as ZHANG Zihe and ZHU Danxi， thereby promoting the pluralistic development of stroke theory in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. Modern pharmacological research provides solid scientific evidence， confirming that the ''fire-heat'' pathological state is highly associated with key mechanisms such as excessive inflammatory responses， oxidative stress， and excitatory amino acid toxicity following cerebral ischemia. Heat-clearing and fire-purging prescriptions and agents， such as Huanglian Jiedu Tang and baicalin， can exert multi-target neuroprotective effects by regulating inflammatory signaling， enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity， and balancing neurotransmitters. This not only verifies the scientific basis of the ''fire-heat inducing stroke'' theory from a modern biological perspective but also provides conclusive evidence for the clinical application of heat-clearing and fire-purging therapy. LIU Wansu's ''fire-heat inducing stroke'' theory represents a major milestone in the historical understanding of stroke pathogenesis， and its academically transitional insights continue to hold core guiding value for the pattern identification and treatment of ischemic stroke today.

Objective To analyze the influenza-like illness (ILI) data in Ordos City from 2017 to 2023 and conduct nucleic acid detection of the virus to understand the local influenza epidemic situation, and to provide a reliable basis for influenza prevention and control in the city. Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to identify virus subtypes in ILI throat swab samples. Comparisons of positive rates were conducted using the chi-square test, with a significance level of α=0.05. Results From 2017 to 2023, a total of 3,283,434 outpatient and emergency visits were recorded at the Ordos City Central Hospital, including 74,159 ILI cases, with an ILI proportion of 2.26%. The majority of ILI cases (74.43%) occurred in children aged 0~14 years old. The overall positive rate of influenza virus nucleic acid detection was 10.87%, with the highest proportion being subtype A (seasonal H3) at 43.03%. The highest detection rate was observed in the 5~14 years age group, with statistically significant differences in positive rates across age groups (χ²=155.638, P<0.001). Influenza peaks occurred mainly from November to March of the following year. From January to April, three types of influenza were prevalent alternately or mixed, while from October to December, subtype A (seasonal H3) predominated. Positive rates varied significantly across months (χ²=250.923, P<0.001). The temporal trends of ILI proportions and PCR-positive rates were consistent. Conclusion Influenza in Ordos City exhibits distinct seasonal and age distribution characteristics, with alternating or mixed circulation of three virus types. Continued efforts are needed to strengthen influenza surveillance, especially the prevention and control of influenza in infants and adolescents.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum chitosinase 3-like protein 1(CHI3L1)and Syndecan-1(SDC1)levels and bone metabolism in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and their predictive efficacy on osteoporosis.Methods A total of 412 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to this hospital from May 2019 to May 2023 were included in this study,and were divided into normal bone mass group(n=151),reduced bone mass group(n=138)and osteoporosis group(n=123)according to the iffer-ences in bone mineral density.Serum CHI3L1 and SDC1 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay,and serum levels of type 1 collagen cross-linked carboxyl terminal peptide(CTX),25-hydroxyvita-min D[25-(OH)D],osteocalcin(OC),and type 1 procollagen N-terminal propeptide(P1NP)were deter-mined by automatic chemiluminescence immunoassay.Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between serum CHI3L1,SDC1 and bone metabolism in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of serum CHI3L1 and SDC1 on osteoporosis in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors of osteoporosis in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Results There were significant differences in diabetes course,fasting blood glucose,HbA1c and HDL-C a-mong normal bone mass group,decreased bone mass group and osteoporosis group(P＜0.05).The levels of serum CHI3L1,25-(OH)D,P1NP and osteocalcin in osteoporosis group were lower than those in osteopenia group,and those in osteopenia group were lower than those in normal bone mass group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Serum SDC1 and CTX levels in osteoporosis group were higher than those in osteopenia group,and those in osteopenia group were higher than those in normal bone mass group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Serum CHI3L1 was positively correlated with 25-(OH)D,P1NP and OC(P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with CTX(P＜0.05).Serum SDC1 was negatively correlated with 25-(OH)D,P1NP,OC(P＜0.05),and positively correlated with CTX(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum CHI3L1,SDC1 and their combination predicted osteoporosis in elderly pa-tients with type 2 diabetes were 0.851,0.772 and 0.904,respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that long duration of diabetes,increased HbA1c,high expression of OC,CHI3L1＞4.16 ng/mL,SDC1≥50.94 ng/mL were all influential factors for osteoporosis in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes(P＜0.05).Conclusion Low expression of CHI3L1 and high expression of SDC1 in serum are associated with ab-normal bone metabolism in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.These two indexes are expected to be used as biological markers to predict osteoporosis in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.

Antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs)represent a breakthrough in precision therapy for breast cancer,offering a unique targeted drug delivery mechanism that enhances tumor selectivity while reducing the nonspecific toxicity associated with conventional chemotherapy.In recent years,the clinical applications of ADCs in breast cancer have expanded significantly,particularly in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-positive and HER2-low breast cancer,reshaping the therapeutic landscape.Trastuzumab emtanserin(T-DM1)was the first ADC drug to replace lapatinib plus capecitabine as a second-line treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer,while trastuzumab deruxtecan(T-DXd)demonstrated remarkable efficacy in HER2-low breast cancer in the DESTINY-Breast04 trial,becoming the first approved ADC for this patient subgroup.Furthermore,trophoblast cell surface antigen 2(Trop-2)-targeting ADCs,such as sacituzumab govitecan(SG),have shown promising clinical benefits in patients with triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)and hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.Advances in next-generation ADC technologies,including improvements in linker stability,drug-to-antibody ratio(DAR)optimization,and enhanced bystander effects,have further improved the therapeutic efficacy and safety profile of these agents,reinforcing their role in the precision treatment of breast cancer.Although ADCs have demonstrated substantial clinical benefits,they are associated with target-and payload-related toxicities.However,with ongoing advancements in management strategies,their safety profile has been significantly improved.HER2-targeting ADCs present specific adverse events,including interstitial lung disease(ILD)associated with T-DXd,thrombocytopenia,and liver function abnormalities observed with T-DM1,while Trop-2-targeting ADCs such as SG are linked to hematologic toxicity and gastrointestinal side effects.Notably,structural optimizations in next-generation ADCs have led to significant improvements in their safety profile.Early monitoring,individualized dose modifications,and supportive care measures have been shown to effectively reduce the incidence of severe adverse events.Clinical studies indicate that toxicity management strategies for ADCs have matured,with most adverse effects being effectively controlled through optimized treatment regimens and adjunctive supportive care.Thus,in clinical practice,it is essential to consider patient-specific factors,prior treatment history,and comorbidities to devise an optimal ADC treatment strategy that maximizes both efficacy and safety.As ADC technology continues to evolve,breast cancer treatment is expected to become increasingly precise.The development of novel HER2-Trop-2 bispecific ADCs offers new therapeutic options for patients with HER2-low and HER2-negative breast cancer.Additionally,studies investigating the combination of T-DXd with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs),CDK4/6 inhibitors,and poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(PARP)inhibitors have demonstrated synergistic antitumor effects,further expanding the prospects for precision medicine in breast cancer.This review systematically summarized the latest advancements in ADCs for breast cancer,with a focus on the clinical applications,safety management strategies,and future development of HER2-and Trop-2-targeting ADCs,aiming to provide valuable insights for the future of precision breast cancer treatment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of laser ablation and closure for the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease (SPD) and to analyze risk factors for postoperative recurrence in male patients.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted to collect clinical data of 369 patients with SPD who underwent laser ablation and closure in the Anorectal Department of Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between March 2019 and December 2024. Perioperative outcomes and postoperative recurrence were analyzed. The cohort included 313 males and 56 females, with 43 patients aged ≤18 years. The median body mass index was 26.3 (IQR: 22.9, 29.6) kg/m2, and the median disease duration was 28 months (IQR: 4, 76). Among them, 218 male SPD patients who underwent surgery received preoperative sex hormone testing. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for recurrence.Results:All patients completed the surgery. The median intraoperative ablation energy delivered was 426.8 (IQR: 243.9, 683.9) J, with no occurrence of major intraoperative complications. Postoperatively, a total of 31 patients (8.4%) required analgesic medication. Within the first postoperative week, 12 patients experienced wound oozing/bleeding; hemostasis was achieved by compression alone in 5 cases, while the remaining 7 instances required suture hemostasis after failed compression attempts. No other complications were observed. The median postoperative hospital stay was 6 (IQR: 4, 8) days, and the median time to return to regular work and life was 7 (IQR: 5, 12) days. The wound healing rate was 100%, with a median wound healing time of 35 (IQR: 30, 42) days. Postoperative recurrence occurred in 19 patients (5.1%), all of whom were male. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age ≤18 years (OR = 4.764, 95%CI: 2.424-34.905, P = 0.008) and a history of previous SPD surgery (OR = 5.078, 95%CI: 1.431-18.019, P = 0.012) as independent risk factors for recurrence after SPD laser ablation and closure surgery. Conclusion:Laser ablation and closure are safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatments for SPD. However, particular attention should be paid to the risk of recurrence in young male patients and those with a history of previous SPD surgery.

Viral infections and allergic diseases are closely related and interact mutually.Physiological defects and immune mechanisms in allergic diseases may result in inadequate defenses against a wide range of viruses and provide a favorable environment for their proliferation and spread.Viral infections are involved in a variety of immune mechanisms in allergic inflammation, triggering or exacerbating allergic diseases.With the deepening of research and the outbreak of novel coronavirus infections, new insights into the relationship between allergic diseases and viral infections have emerged.This article provides a review of recent literature and new data on the mechanisms of action between respiratory viral infections and allergic diseases in children.

Integrin α _v β ₃ is overexpressed in various tumor cells and angiogenesis. To date, no drug has been proven to target it for therapy. A first-in-human study was designed to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and dosimetry of ¹⁷⁷Lu-AB-3PRGD2, a novel integrin α _v β ₃-targeting radionuclide drug with an albumin-binding motif to optimize the pharmacokinetics. Ten patients (3 men, 7 women; aged 45 ± 16 years) with integrin α _v β ₃-avid tumors were recruited to accept ¹⁷⁷Lu-AB-3PRGD2 injection in a dosage of 1.57 ± 0.08 GBq (42.32 ± 2.11 mCi), followed by serial scans to obtain its dynamic distribution in the body. Safety tests were performed before and every 2 weeks after the treatment for 6-8 weeks. No adverse event over grade 3 was observed. ¹⁷⁷Lu-AB-3PRGD2 was excreted mainly through the urinary system, with intense radioactivity in the kidneys and bladder. Moderate distribution was found in the liver, spleen, and intestines. The estimated blood half-life was 2.85 ± 2.17 h. The whole-body effective dose was 0.251 ± 0.047 mSv/MBq. The absorbed doses were 0.157 ± 0.032 mGy/MBq in red bone marrow and 0.684 ± 0.132 mGy/MBq in kidneys. This first-in-human study of ¹⁷⁷Lu-AB-3PRGD2 treatment indicates its promising potential for targeted radionuclide therapy of integrin α _v β ₃-avid tumors. It merits further studies in more patients with escalating doses and multiple treatment courses.
