Abnormal activation of the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In recent years, inhibitors targeting JAK2 and STAT3 have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates in DLBCL. This review summarizes the efficacy and safety profiles of JAK2 inhibitors (e.g., ruxolitinib) and STAT3 inhibitors (direct small-molecule inhibitors, the antisense oligonucleotide, and proteolysis targeting chimeras, etc.) in preclinical models and clinical trials. Accumulating evidence indicates that JAK2 and STAT3 inhibitors exhibit antitumor activity and are generally well tolerated in a subset of DLBCL patients. Meanwhile, the development of novel drug delivery systems has significantly enhanced the stability, bioavailability, and targeting ability of the compounds. Furthermore, JAK2 and STAT3 inhibitors may exhibit synergistic effects when combined with other therapy strategies (such as combinations with B-cell receptor signaling pathway inhibitors, immunomodulators, or other targeted drugs). However, current clinical applications are still in their early stages. Future research should concentrate on precision treatment strategies based on the genetic subtyping of DLBCL, and further refine the delivery systems for inhibitors as well as combination drug regimens to improve clinical outcomes.

ObjectiveTo explore the 28-day mortality risk of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) bloodstream infections (BSI) and its related influencing factors, thereby providing a scientific basis for the effective control of KP-BSI and improvement of patient prognosis. MethodsFrom January 2018 to December 2024, a retrospective review was conducted on hospitalized patients aged >18 years old treated for KP-BSI at a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were performed to identify the epidemiological characteristics and the risk factors for the 28-day mortality associated with KP-BSI. ResultsA total of 123 patients with KP-BSI were included in this study, comprising 64 cases infected with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and 59 cases infected with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CSKP). Compared with CSKP-BSI, patients with CRKP-BSI more frequently presented with chronic pulmonary disease (χ²=4.29, P=0.038), concomitant infections at other sites (χ²=10.90, P=0.001), and a higher frequency of invasive procedures prior to infection (central venous catheterization, mechanical ventilation, and indwelling urinary catheter), as well as glucocorticoid use, hemodialysis, and blood transfusion (all P<0.05). The 28-day mortality was significantly higher in BSI cases caused by CRKP compared to that caused by CSKP (37.50% vs 5.08%, P<0.001). Cox regression analyses revealed that carbapenem resistance (HR=6.67, 95%CI: 1.48‒30.08, P=0.014) and blood transfusion (HR=3.58, 95%CI: 1.15‒11.19, P=0.028) were risk factors for the 28-day mortality in KP-BSI, while removal of central venous catheters after infection (HR=0.24, 95%CI: 0.08‒0.67, P=0.006) was associated with a reduced risk for the 28-day mortality. ConclusionCarbapenem resistance is associated with mortality outcomes in patients with KP-BSI. Strengthening infection control measures targeting the identified risk factors for CRKP-BSI may improve patient prognosis.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and short-term prognosis of postoperative acute myocardial infarction (PAMI) after cardiac surgery. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 45 PAMI patients who underwent coronary angiography after cardiac surgery at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from February 2015 to February 2025. General information, type of surgery, onset time and causes of PAMI, and in-hospital recovery condition were collected. Univariate logistic regression was used to analyze factors related to in-hospital survival. Results The patients’ age was (62.40±11.72) years, 31 cases (68.89%) were male, 21 cases (46.67%) had hypertension. Twenty-six patients (57.78%) underwent cardiac valve surgery, and 16 patients (35.56%) received coronary artery bypass grafting. The onset time of PAMI was 24 (0, 48) hours, with 38 cases (84.44%) developing within 48 hours after surgery. Twenty-eight patients (62.22%) presented with new lesions in coronary arteries/bypass grafts, and 20 patients (44.44%) were considered to have thrombus-induced PAMI. Nine patients died in hospital, 13 patients failed to recover and were discharged automatically, and 23 patients were discharged after recovery. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that new lesion in coronary arteries/bypass grafts was risk factor for in-hospital survival (OR=0.235, P=0.036). Conclusions PAMI frequently occurs within 48 hours post-cardiac surgery, and thrombosis is the most common cause of PAMI. New lesions in coronary arteries/bypass grafts are closely correlated with poor short-term prognosis.

Childhood bronchial asthma (hereinafter referred to as asthma) is frequently accompanied by comorbidities such as allergic rhinitis, eczema, allergic enteritis, tic disorders, and obesity. Based on the theory of "syndrome-based disease regulation", this paper proposes that dampness, heat, and phlegm constitute the common pathological basis of asthma comorbidities in children living in cold regions. Focusing on the remission stage of asthma, this paper proposes that treatment should emphasize dispersing and draining pathogenic factors, diffusing and unblocking sanjiao (三焦), with clearing heat, draining dampness, and resolving phlegm as the fundamental therapeutic principle. For asthma complicated by allergic rhinitis, Xiebai Wendan Decoction (泻白温胆汤) combined with Cang'erzi Powder (苍耳子散) is recommended. For asthma complicated by eczema, Baiguo Wendan Decoction (白果温胆汤) combined with Yiyi Zhuye Powder (薏苡竹叶散) is applied. For asthma complicated by allergic enteritis, Zhizhu Wendan Decoction (枳术温胆汤) is selected. For asthma complicated by tic disorders, Changyu Wendan Decoction (菖郁温胆汤) is used. And for asthma complicated by obesity, Zexie Wendan Decoction (泽泻温胆汤) is prescribed. This approach aims to achieve the therapeutic goals of "treating different diseases with the same principle" and "regulating both constitution and disease".

Objective: To analyze the characteristics and key risk factors of abnormal blood disposal throughout the 2024-2025 blood collection and supply process based on nationwide multi-site monitoring data, develop a comprehensive prevention and control strategy across the entire chain, reduce preventable blood waste, and ensure clinical blood safety. Methods: According to the Guidelines for Haemovigilance (T/CSBT 001-2026), we extracted 74 cases of abnormal blood disposal events reported by the China Blood Transfusion Association′s Blood Safety Monitoring System from January 1 2024, to December 31 2025, and conducted descriptive statistical analysis on the distribution of events, types of deviations, root causes, and classifications of disposal manifestations. Results: A total of 664 adverse events related to blood collection and supply were reported over two years, with 74 cases involving discarded abnormal blood units, accounting for 11.1% of the total. Among these, blood component preparation (40.5%) and blood collection (37.8%) remained traditional high-risk stages. The proportion of blood waste occurring during storage, distribution, and transportation increased from 7.7% in 2024 to 34.3% in 2025. Deviations from standard operating procedures (SOP) by personnel were the primary cause, accounting for 74.3% of cases. Discarded blood units were categorized into four types: compromised closed blood bag systems (40 cases), mainly due to inadequate heat sealing, physical damage, or dropped bags; blood out of the cold chain (12 cases), primarily resulting from blood being left at work sites; imbalanced proportion of preservation solution (10 cases), mostly caused by blood collection volumes exceeding the standard capacity of blood bags; and other causes (12 cases). Conclusion: Human operational errors are the core cause of abnormal blood waste. The collection and preparation stages have long been at high-risk, and the risks in the storage and transportation stages have been increasing year by year. We should focus on standardizing personnel management, improving specialized operation norms such as heat sealing, transportation, and storage, establishing a full-process intelligent cold chain monitoring and multi-node visual verification mechanism, and systematically reducing the occurrence rate of abnormal blood waste through a closed-loop quality intervention system, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of voluntary blood donation resources.

The pathogenesis of recurrent acute exacerbations of bronchiectasis is considered to be "yang floating and yin weakness". Yin weakness refers to the depletion of the water and fire of true yin in the lower jiao (焦), which is the root of the disease. Yang floating refers to the ministerial fire floating upward and scorching the lung metal due to the failure of true yin to nourish and constrain yang, which is the manifestation of acute exacerbations. Yin weakness and yang floating interact with each other, forming a vicious cycle of "yin depletion leading to fire floating, and floating fire in turn injuring yin", which leads to recurrent, prolonged, and refractory acute exacerbations of bronchiectasis. Based on the pathogenesis of yang floating and yin weakness, therapeutic formulas are proposed. Yinhuo Decoction (引火汤) can be used to nourish true yin and anchor floating fire, while a combination of Qianyang Pill (潜阳丹) and Fengsui Pill (封髓丹) is applied to warm the kidneys, subdue yang, and secure true fire, and Quanzhen Yiqi Decoction (全真一气汤) is utilized to drastically supplement the primal origin and rescue both yin and yang simultaneously.

Objective To investigate the early dynamic changes of biomarkers associated with capillary leak syndrome(CLS)in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)and their correlation with multiple organ failure(MOF).Methods A total of 171 SAP patients admitted to the West China Centre of Excellence for Pancreatitis,West China Hospital,Sichuan University between September 1,2019 and December 31,2020 were enrolled for this study.The patients were divided into MOF and non-MOF groups based on the occurrence of MOF in the first 5 days of hospitalization,and were further divided into subgroups based on the presence of moderate-to-severe intra-abdominal hypertension(IAH).We performed dynamic monitoring of the blood biomarkers(hematocrit[HCT].blood urea nitrogen[BUN].and creatinine[Cr]),plasma proteins(albumin[Alb].total protein[TP].and non-albumin plasma proteins[NAPP]),and intra-abdominal pressure.Trends in these indicators across groups were analyzed comprehensively.Results No significant differences in baseline data between the two groups were observed.The baseline data of the 2 groups were comparable.The MOF group had significantly higher rates of persistent systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS)lasting 48 hours(91.3%vs.71.8%),ICU admission(70.4%vs.17.6%),and length-of-stay([32±17.7]days vs.[19.0±12.2]days)compared to those of the non-MOF group(P<0.05).The incidences of respiratory,circulatory,and renal failures were higher in the MOF group than those in the non-MOF group,showing significant differences in circulatory failure(69%vs.3.5%)and renal failure(65.5%vs.3.5%)(P<0.05).In the first 5 days of hospitalization,the MOF group showed significantly elevated BUN and Cr levels,while Alb and TP levels dropped rapidly upon admission and then gradually recovered.The NAPP level of the MOF group continued to decrease after admission,and on the third day after admission,the NAPP level was lower than that of the Non-MOF group,showing statistically significant difference(P<0.001).The Alb/NAPP ratio of the MOF group decreased significantly on day 1 and then rapidly increased,showing significant differences between the groups on days 3 and 4(P=0.001).Subgroup analysis of MOF patients with moderate-to-severe IAH revealed similar trends in the dynamic changes and the overall changes in the indicators,and the difference was even more pronounced.The mixed linear model showed that the average levels of HCT,BUN,Alb/NAPP,and Alb/TP were higher and increased over time in the MOF combined with IAP subgroup(P<0.001).Conclusion The CLS model of SAP patients is validated,confirming that CLS is a key factor in the progression from SIRS to MOF.The loss of NAPP is an early and important indicator of CLS persistence and progression to MOF.Additionally,moderate-to-severe IAH accelerates the deterioration of MOF.These findings provide valuable insights into the potential mechanisms of MOF and warrant further validation through large-scale prospective studies.
