It is believed that psoriasis with anxiety and depression presents the pathogenesis of "depression-blood-spirit"， with qi depression as the initiating factor， and that the disease mechanism is understood from three aspects， including "qi depression transforming into fire， blood stasis disturbing the spirit"， "depressed fire consuming yin， causing blood dryness and spirit agitation"， "qi stagnation leading to blood stasis， resulting in obstructed channels and spirit depression". The treatment proposes three methods， firstly， cooling blood and resolving depression， secondly， nourishing blood and soothing depression， and thirdly， activating blood and regulating depression， which applies prescriptions as modified Liangxue Huoxue Decoction （凉血活血汤） combined with Zhiqiao （Poncirus trifoliata）， Foshou （Citrus medica）， and Lianqiaoxin （Forsythia suspensa） for cooling blood and resolving depression； modified Yangxue Jiedu Decoction （养血解毒汤） combined with Baishao （Paeonia lactiflora Pall）， Zhenzhumu （Margaritifera Concha）， and calcined Muli （Ostreidae） for nourishing blood and soothing depression； and modified Huoxue Sanyu Decoction （活血散瘀汤） combined with Yujin （Curcuma aromatica） and Hehuanpi （Albiziae Cortex） for activating blood and regulating depression. These three methods integrate the "depression-blood-spirit" pathogenesis to achieve harmony of body and spirit by clearing blood heat， nourishing yin and blood， and removing blood stasis， complemented with medicinals that soothing the liver， calming the spirit， and regulating depression.

Modulating Tankyrases (TNKS), interactions with USP25 to promote TNKS degradation, rather than inhibiting their enzymatic activities, is emerging as an alternative/specific approach to inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Here, we identified UAT-B, a novel neoantimycin analog isolated from Streptomyces conglobatus, as a small-molecule inhibitor of TNKS-USP25 protein-protein interaction (PPI) to overcome multi-drug resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). The disruption of TNKS-USP25 complex formation by UAT-B led to a significant decrease in TNKS levels, triggering cell apoptosis through modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Importantly, UAT-B successfully inhibited the CRC cells growth that harbored high TNKS levels, as demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo studies utilizing cell line-based and patient-derived xenografts, as well as APC^min/+ spontaneous CRC models. Collectively, these findings suggest that targeting the TNKS-USP25 PPI using a small-molecule inhibitor represents a compelling therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment, and UAT-B emerges as a promising candidate for further preclinical and clinical investigations.

Objective To compare the dosimetric characteristics of thyroid between intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in patients with left-sided breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy. Methods Thirty patients with left-sided breast cancer who underwent adjuvant radiotherapy after modified radical mastectomy at the Huangpu Branch of the Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from December 2021 to May 2023, were selected as the study subjects, and IMRT and VMAT were used with a target prescription dose of 50 Gy/25 times. The target dose parameters of the two plans, including the mean dose (D_mean) and the dose-volume limit for organs at risk (V_x, x represents dose), were compared. Results The conformity index of VMAT was higher than that of IMRT (P＜0.001). Compared with VMAT, IMRT plan significantly reduced the V₅、V₁₀、D_mean of heart, the V₅ of right lung and the D_mean of right breast, while it significantly increased the V₂₀ of left lung (P＜0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in V₅ and V₁₀ of the left thyroid between IMRT and VMAT. However, the V₂₀, V₃₀, V₄₀, and D_mean of left and whole thyroid, and the V₁₀ and D_mean of right thyroid were significantly lower in IMRT than those in VMAT (P＜0.001). Conclusions Both IMRT and VMAT plans can meet the clinical dosimetric requirements, among which IMRT has lower thyroid exposure dose and is more suitable for patients with high cardiac requirements.

Objective To explore the value of serum stearoyl sphingosine(C18∶1-Cer)and 1-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-choline(LPC 18∶0)levels in pregnant women's serum samples during pregnancy in predicting gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods The clinical data and laboratory indicators of 126 pregnant women were retrospectively analyzed.The sub-jects were divided into GDM group(n=66)and control group(n=60)according to the GDM diagnosis results.Mass spec-trometry was used to detect the serum C18∶1-Cer and LPC18∶0 levels of the subjects in early and mid pregnancy.Logistic re-gression analysis was used to screen out the risk factors for GDM.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of C18∶1-Cer,LPC18∶0 and their combination for GDM.Results Compared with the control group,the serum C18∶1-Cer and LPC18∶0 levels of the subjects in the GDM group were significantly increased in early(18.92±2.77ng/ml vs 23.47±4.18ng/ml,41.32±17.55ng/ml vs 88.08±16.02ng/ml)and mid pregnancy(23.14±4.10ng/ml vs 18.76±4.05ng/ml,84.60±14.53ng/ml vs 40.50±17.79ng/ml),and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.127,15.637;-5.984,2.174,all P＜0.05)C18∶1-Cer was positively correlated with fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting plasma insulin(FPI),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)and triglyceride(TG)(r=0.458,0.209,0.317,0.223,0.219,all P<0.05).LPC18.0 was positively correlated with FPG,FPI,HOMA-IR,HbA1c,total cholesterol(TC)and TG(r= 0.715,0.426,0.580,0.465,0.232,0.372,all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis results showed that C18∶1-Cer[OR(95%CI):1.522(1.136～2.039),P<0.05]and LPC18:0[OR(95%CI):1.198(1.102～1.302),P<0.001]were independent risk factors for GDM.ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum C18∶1-Cer,LPC18∶0 and the combination of the two indicators were 0.819,0.971 and 0.986,respectively.The predictive performance of the combination of the two indicators was better than that of the single detection.Conclusion Serum C18∶1-Cer and LPC18∶0 in early pregnancy were closely related to the occurrence of GDM.C18∶1-Cer combined with LPC 18∶0 has a certain predictive value for the early diagnosis of GDM.

Objective:To explore the cognition and intention of patients with lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to participate in patient-reported outcomes (PROs), so as to provide references for the promotion, application, and practice of PROs in lower limb DVT patients in China.Methods:This study adopted the phenomenological qualitative research method. From February to June 2023, 13 lower limb DVT patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected for semi-structured in-depth interviews. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used for analyzing and summarizing data.Results:Thirteen patients with lower limb DVT highly recognized their own value in participating in PROs, namely health benefits, prevention of DVT complications, and reduction of disease uncertainty. Lower limb DVT patients expected to receive support from healthcare professionals, families, and portable and simplified reporting formats to promote their participation in PROs. From the patient 's own perspective, they perceived that insufficient attention to DVT caused by lack of awareness of the hazards of DVT and limited understanding of PROs made it difficult for them to participate in PROs. Conclusions:Lower limb DVT patients have a high intention to participate in PROs. The application and promotion of PROs in lower limb DVT patients in China require joint support from various sectors of society, among which strengthening effective health education for patients and their families and providing multi-channel reporting forms are the key to promoting of PROs.
