Malignant tumor metastasis is the key factor leading to poor prognosis of patients, and it is a difficult problem to be overcome in the field of tumor therapy. Metabolic reprogramming, as a key link in the regulation of tumor metastasis activity, affects the growth, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells by changing the metabolic pathways of intracellular substances (such as glucose, amino acids, lipids, and nucleotides). In particular, metabolic reprogramming plays a key role in the multistage linked steps related to tumor metastasis and can play a crucial role in several key stages of tumor tissue dissociation in situ, hematogenous metastasis, and remote colonization. Malignant tumor cells can selectively adjust their own metabolic state to adapt to the growth conditions of different metastatic microenvironments and colonization sites and then choose the most favorable growth and metabolism strategy. According to the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the metastasis of malignant tumors is generally closely related to the metabolic state of the whole body. One of the advantages of TCM in the treatment of malignant tumors is systemic regulation. With its multi-pathway, multi-target, and multi-component therapeutic characteristics, TCM can effectively control the metastasis of malignant tumors by regulating the degradation of tumor epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) and extracellular matrix (ECM), anchoring the independent growth of tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment. In this paper, the potential regulatory effects of metabolic reprogramming on the metastasis of malignant tumors were discussed, and the latest research progress of the regulation of metabolic reprogramming by TCM on tumor metastasis was reviewed. At the same time, the key targets of TCM and its bioactive components in the process of tumor metastasis intervention were reviewed. This study aims to provide a more valuable basis and clearer idea for the treatment of malignant tumor metastasis by regulating metabolic reprogramming with TCM.

Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is one of the common problems in platelet transfusion, significantly impacting patient clinical outcomes and increasing the demand for allogeneic platelet transfusion. Both immune and non-immune factors contribute to PTR, among which the occurrence mechanism of immune platelet transfusion refractoriness (IPTR) involves humoral and cellular immune processes and is influenced by platelet storage, processing, and the patient's disease, therapy and immune status. This review comprehensively discusses the research related to the factors for alloimmune of IPTR, the mechanism of platelet clearance and its influencing factors. Furthermore, it explores feasible prevention and treatment measures such as platelet compatibility transfusion and clinical treatments. The aim is to provide a systematic cognition for a deeper understanding of the pathological process of platelet alloimmunization and clearance, and to provide a theoretical basis for the construction of precise clinical prevention and treatment strategies for IPTR, as well as to explore feasible research directions in this field in the future.

Objective:To compare the surgical outcomes of robotic natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) and robotic-assisted radical resection for rectal cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis using propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted on 547 patients who had undergone radical resection of rectal cancer at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from June 2018 to March 2024. The study cohort comprised 157 patients in the robotic NOSES group and 390 in the robotic-assisted group. PSM was used in a 1:1 manner to match relevant general clinical preoperative data of the study patients (age, sex, body mass index, preoperative comorbidities, abnormal preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (>6.5 μg/L) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels (>27 kU/L), preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists score, tumor diameter, tumor distance from the anal margin, and TNM stage), with a clamp value of 0.05. After performing PSM to match the general clinical data of the two groups of patients, 77 patients in each of the robotic NOSES and robotic-assisted groups were included in the analysis. We found no statistically significant difference in preoperative general clinical data between the robot NOSES and robot-assisted groups ( P>0.05). We compared the surgical outcomes, postoperative recovery, postoperative pathological data, and incidence of complications between the robotic NOSES and robot-assisted groups. Results:Compared with the robot-assisted groups. the robot NOSES group had a significantly shorter time to first postoperative passage of flatus (48 [38, 50] hours vs. 56 [50, 60] hours, Z=-7.513, P<0.001), time to taking a liquid diet (60 [54,63] hours vs. 66 [62, 72] hours, Z=-6.303, P<0.001), lower pain scores (3 [3, 4] vs. 4 [4, 5], Z=-5.237, P<0.001), and lower incision infection rates (0 vs. 5 [6.5%], χ 2=5.237, P=0.028) within 24 hours after surgery ( P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative anastomotic complications, or incidence of other complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Robotic NOSES surgery is a safe and feasible procedure for resecting rectal cancer and postoperative recovery is faster after robotic NOSES than after standard robot-assisted surgery.
