Objective This study evaluated the diagnostic value of adding magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to multimodal ultrasound for breast cancer, where multimodal ultrasound consisted of two-dimensional imaging and the strain ratio (SR) from elastography. Methods We enrolled 180 patients with breast lesions who were admitted to our hospital between August 2023 and August 2025. All patients underwent multimodal ultrasound and MRI examinations. Multimodal ultrasound included two-dimensional imaging and ultrasound elastography with strain ratio measurement. Breast cancer detection rates were assessed for each imaging method. The diagnostic performance of multimodal ultrasound alone, MRI alone, and the two methods combined was compared. Results Among the 180 patients, 82 (45.56%) had benign lesions and 98 (54.44%) had malignant lesions. The numbers of cases consistent with pathological diagnosis were 152 for multimodal ultrasound, 145 for MRI, and 160 for their combination. The sensitivity of the combined diagnosis was 95.92%, which exceeded that of multimodal ultrasound alone (84.69%) and MRI alone (79.59%). The negative predictive value of the combined diagnosis was 94.29%, which was significantly higher than that of MRI alone (77.01%, P<0.05). Conclusion Combining MRI with multimodal ultrasound based on SR and two-dimensional ultrasound significantly improves the differential diagnosis of breast cancer. This strategy compensates for the limitations of using a single modality and provides a more reliable imaging basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major global health issue, with glycated hemoglobin levels serving as the gold standard for evaluating glucose level control in DM patients. However, it has limitations in reflecting glucose oscillations (i.e. glycemic variability, GV). Increasing evidence suggests that GV is closely related to the progression of diabetes complications and patient prognosis. As people realize the importance of avoiding hypoglycemia while achieving target glycated hemoglobin levels in treatment, the clinical significance of GV becomes more obvious. This article systematically reviewed the concept and connotation of GV, summarized the latest research on its role in the complications of diabetes, and revealed the biochemical and pathophysiological abnormalities caused by excessive glycemic oscillation, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the risk warning and early intervention of DM patients.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the effectiveness of orthopedic surgery for patients with moderate and severe hallux valgus and analyze its related influencing factors. METHODS: A clinical data of 247 patients (287 feet) with moderate and severe hallux valgus, who were admitted between January 2013 and October 2024 and met the selection criteria, was retrospectively analyzed. There were 39 males and 208 females, with a median age of 57 years (range, 19-89 years). There were 207 cases of single-foot involvement and 40 cases of double-foot involvement; 159 feet were moderate hallux valgus and 128 feet were severe hallux valgus. The disease duration ranged from 3 months to 25 years, with a median of 5 years and 8 months. The hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), proximal articular set angle (PASA), and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores were measured before operation and at 6 months after operation, and the differences (change values) between pre- and post-operation were calculated. All patients were grouped according to the degree of preoperative hallux valgus deformity and age, and the patients with severe hallux valgus according to different surgical procedures, and the change values of HVA, IMA, and AOFAS scores were compared between groups. All patients were grouped according to postoperative HVA, then the postoperative AOFAS scores were compared between groups. RESULTS: All patients successfully completed the operations and were followed up 6 months to 11 years and 3 months, with an average of 4 years and 6 months. The HVA, IMA, PASA, and AOFAS scores at 6 months after operation showed significant improvement compared to preoperative levels, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). The patients with severe hallux valgus had the higher change values of HVA, IMA, and AOFAS scores than the patients with moderate hallux valgus ( P<0.05). The elderly patients had the highest change values of HVA and AOFAS scores than the young and middle-aged patients ( P<0.05). The patients with postoperative HVA ranging from 0° to 5° had the highest AOFAS scores than the other patients at 6 months after operation ( P<0.05). Among different surgical procedures for severe hallux valgus, the metatarsophalangeal joint fusion had the highest change value of HVA, the Scarf osteotomy had the highest performance in correcting the IMA, and the first metatarsal base osteotomy had the highest improvement in the postoperative AOFAS score, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION Elderly patients show the better improvement in HVA and foot function after operation. The first metatarsal base osteotomy show the better improvement in foot function than other surgical procedures. A certain HVA is allowed to remain after hallux valgus correction, and the postoperative AOFAS score is higher when the corrected HVA is in the range of 0°-5°.

It has been popular and challenging to undertake researches on the delay of acquired resistance of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI). As key cells for tumor initiation, cancer stem cells (CSC) play an important role in the process of resistance to EGFR-TKI. Although preliminary studies found that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) could inhibit CSC properties and delay EGFR-TKI resistance, the specific molecular mechanism remains unclear. By summarizing the empirical syndrome treatment of EGFR-TKI resistance via TCM and combining recent researches on TCM intervention in CSC to delay EGFR-TKI resistance, this review discussed the potential molecular pathways and mechanisms of deceleration in resistance to EGFR-TKI by TCM via inhibiting CSC characteristics, in order to expand the research ideas of TCM in combination with targeted therapy.

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are a group of diseases caused by fungal pathogens, primarily Candida, Aspergillus, and Cryptococcus, which invade the body, proliferate in deep tissues, organs, or the bloodstream, and lead to localized or systemic severe infections. These infections impose significantclinical and economic burdens due to their high mortality rates, the high cost and limited availability of antifungal drugs, and the frequent adverse effects. Invasive fungal pathogens invade the host through hyphae, spores, and secreted adhesive proteins, primarily triggering disease via signal cascades resulting from the binding of fungal membrane ligands to host receptors, as well as through secreted substances and intrinsic toxins. Macrophages, as the first line of defense against invasive fungal pathogens, play a crucial role in combating IFIs. They combat fungal pathogens through mechanisms such as antigen recognition, phagocytosis, oxidative killing, polarization, and the regulation of various bioactive substances. This article reviews recent research progress on the mechanisms by which macrophages contribute to innate immunity against invasive fungal infections. Additionally, it discusses the immune evasion strategies employed by invasive fungal pathogens to counteract macrophages, aiming to provide new insights for the prevention and treatment of invasive fungal infections.

Somatostatin receptor 1 (SSTR1) is a crucial therapeutic target for various neuroendocrine and oncological disorders. Current SSTR1-targeted treatments, including the first-generation somatostatin analog lanreotide (Lan) and the second-generation analog pasireotide (Pas), show promise but encounter challenges related to selectivity and efficacy. This study presents high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structures of SSTR1 complexed with Lan or Pas, revealing the distinct mechanisms of ligand-binding and activation. These structures illustrate unique conformational changes in the SSTR1 orthosteric pocket induced by each ligand, which are critical for receptor activation and ligand selectivity. Combined with the biochemical assays and molecular dynamics simulations, our results provide a comparative analysis of binding characteristics within the SSTR family, highlighting subtle differences in SSTR1 activation by Lan and Pas. These insights pave the way for designing next-generation therapies with enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects through improved receptor subtype selectivity.
