Objective To observe the effectiveness and safety of the"Stomach Three Needles"in preventing acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting(CINV)in patients with breast cancer.Methods Seventy patients with breast cancer who received highly emetogenic chemotherapy(HEC)and were admitted to the Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2023 to May 2025 were selected as research subjects.They were divided into treatment group(35 cases)and control group(35 cases)according to the random number table method.The treatment group received"Stomach Three Needles"combined with triple-drug prophylactic antiemetic therapy,while the patients in control group were given triple-drug prophylactic antiemetic therapy alone.The severity of nausea and vomiting symptoms during the acute phase,functional living index-emesis(FLIE),and adverse reactions between two groups of patients were compared.Results The severity grades of acute-phase nausea and vomiting symptoms in treatment group were all lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).The complete response rate and total effective rate of acute-phase nausea and vomiting in treatment group were significantly higher than those in control group(P＜0.05).The FLIE score of the patients in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of adverse reactions such as headache,fatigue,constipation,and abdominal distension between two groups of patients(P＞0.05).Conclusion The"Stomach Three Needles"combined with triple-drug prophylactic antiemetic therapy can effectively reduce the incidence and severity of acute CINV in breast cancer patients,improve their quality of life,and has good safety.It is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective: To evaluate the intervention efficacy of integrated group social skills training on social ability in school age patients with high functioning ASD, so as to provide a reference for improving social skills in children with high functioning ASD. Methods: From January 2021 to December 2023, 62 children aged 7-12 with high functioning ASD who visited the Children s Psychiatry Outpatient Department of the Affiliated Kangning Hospital of Ningbo University were recruited, and were randomly divided into a training ( n =31) and a control group ( n =31) by a random number table method. The training group received a 20 week structured group social training program (mental interpretation courses and social courses), while the control group received only conventional treatment. Chinese version of Griffith Empathy Measure Parent Ratings (GEM-PR) and Social Response Scale (SRS) were used to assess the symptoms of social deficits before and after treatment. Emotional face recognition tasks and eye movement trajectories were used to test the characteristics of social visual attention in children with ASD. Group comparison was conducted using t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: At baseline, there were no significant differences in GEM-PR score ( t = -1.20 to -0.81), SRS score ( t =-0.36-1.75), emotional face recognition accuracy and reaction time ( t =-0.58-1.85), and eye movement trajectory ( U/t =-1.63-0.29) between the two group ( P >0.05). After intervention, the total GEM-PR score and empathic cognitive factor score of training group [18.00(10.00，24.00)，9.00(8.00，13.00)] were significantly higher than those of the control group [12.00(-1.00，18.00)，2.00(-2.00，7.00)], and the total SRS score and social cognition, social perception, social communication, social motivation (73.23±14.20, 16.16±2.72, 6.58±2.50, 24.29±5.61, 9.52±3.73) were significantly lower than those of the control group (95.26±15.29, 19.90±2.84, 12.58±2.49,31.94±6.38, 13.74±4.81) ( U/t =-2.38, -4.59; -5.88, -5.29, -9.47, -5.01, -3.87, P <0.05). The overall correct rate of emotional face recognition and the correct rate of angry, fearful and neutral faces recognition in the training group [(81.55±6.62)%，(76.86±12.06)%，(79.61±12.42)%，(94.27±6.26)%] were significantly higher than the control group [(70.55±13.82)%，(62.82±18.77)%，(67.18±18.85)%，(79.60±20.05)%], and the average reaction time [(2 226.70±274.43)ms] was lower than the control group [(2 417.27±324.10)ms] (t=4.00, 3.50, 3.07, 3.89, -2.42, P<0.05). The time to first eye gaze [764.74 (748.64, 793.73) ms] in the training group was significantly lower than that in the control group [810.92 (782.86, 877.42) ms], and the proportion of moderatetohigh intensity attention area in the face [(37.37±1.27)%] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(30.34±1.23)%] (U/t=3.44, 8.89, P<0.05). Conclusion Integrated group social training can significantly improve the social communication and empathy ability of high functioning ASD children, increase active attention and recognition ability of faces, and improve mental development of children with ASD.

ObjectiveTo establish steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head （SANFH） cell model by using dexamethasone （DEX）-induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells （BMSCs） and demonstrate that Gushing Granules （GSNs） exert an improving effect by activating the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B/B-lymphoma-2 gene related promoter （PI3K/Akt/Bad） signalling pathway. MethodsFirstly， SD rats were orally administered with drugs at a dose of 0.9 g·kg^-1 to prepare GSN-containing serum， and CCK-8 screening was used to determine the optimal dosage and duration of action. Then， BMSCs were cultured and treated with 1×10^-6 mol·L^-1 DEX， 10% GSN-containing serum， and inhibitor LY294002 of PI3K/Akt signalling pathway for 24 hours to model and group SANFH cells. Cell viability and proliferation were detected by using CCK-8 assay kit and EdU staining kit. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis. An alkaline phosphatase （ALP） assay kit was employed to detect ALP expression. In order to detect the PI3K/Akt/Bad signalling pathway and protein and mRNA expression of apoptosis-related proteins such as apoptosis regulatory factors B-cell lymphoma-2 gene （Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax）， osteocalcin （OCN）， and Collagen Ⅰ， we used Western blot and Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsThe CCK-8 assay kit determined that the optimal dosage for GSN-containing serum is 10%， and the duration of action is 48 hours. After modelling and grouping the cells in each group， the detection results showed that the SANFH model group had significantly lower cell viability， cell proliferation， and ALP expression， as well as protein and mRNA expressions of PI3K， Akt， Bad， Bcl-2， OCN， and Collagen I compared to the blank group. The nucleic acid and protein levels of the Bax index and the cell apoptosis rate detected by flow cytometry significantly increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）. After treatment with GSN-containing serum， cell viability， cell proliferation， and ALP expression， as well as expressions of PI3K， Akt， Bad， Bcl-2， OCN， and Collagen Ⅰ nucleic acids and proteins were significantly increased， while the nucleic acid and protein levels of the Bax index and the cell apoptosis rate detected by flow cytometry significantly decreased（P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the GSN drug-containing serum group， the simultaneous treatment with the inhibitor LY294002 and GSN drug-containing serum reversed the improvement effect of GSN. Specifically， the cell viability， cell proliferation， ALP expression， and the nucleic acid and protein levels of PI3K， Akt， Bad， Bcl-2， OCN， and Collagen Ⅰ were all significantly decreased， while the nucleic acid and protein levels of the Bax index and the cell apoptosis rate detected by flow cytometry were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionGSNs antagonize DEX-induced apoptosis of BMSCs by activating the PI3K/Akt/Bad signalling pathway， providing a scientific theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of SANFH with GSNs.

Objective To compare the long-term survival of elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) treated with surgical versus non-surgical treatment. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of elderly patients aged ≥70 years with ESCC who underwent esophagectomy or radiotherapy/chemotherapy at Sichuan Cancer Hospital from January 2009 to September 2017. Patients were divided into a surgical group (S group) and a non-surgical group (NS group) according to the treatment method. The propensity score matching method was used to match the two groups of patients at a ratio of 1∶1, and the survival of the two groups before and after matching was analyzed. Results A total of 726 elderly patients with ESCC were included, including 552 males and 174 females, with 651 patients aged ≥70-80 years and 75 patients aged ≥80-90 years. There were 515 patients in the S group and 211 patients in the NS group. The median follow-up time was 60.8 months, and the median overall survival of the S group was 41.9 months [95%CI (35.2, 48.5)], while that of the NS group was only 24.0 months [95%CI (19.8, 28.3)]. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates of the S group were 84%, 54%, and 40%, respectively, while those of the NS group were 72%, 40%, and 30%, respectively [HR=0.689, 95%CI (0.559, 0.849), P<0.001]. After matching, 138 patients were included in each group, and there was no statistical difference in the overall survival between the two groups [HR=0.871, 95%CI (0.649, 1.167), P=0.352]. Conclusion Compared with conservative treatment, there is no significant difference in the long-term survival of elderly patients aged ≥70 years who undergo esophagectomy for ESCC. Neoadjuvant therapy combined with surgery is still an important choice to potentially improve the survival of elderly patients with ESCC.

Objective : To explore the role of semaphoring 6d(SEMA6D) in the malignant progression of triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC). Methods : Bioinformatics and Immunohistochemistry(IHC) were used to analyze the expression level of SEMA6D in TNBC and paracancer non-tumor tissues and its relationship with patients′ clinicopathological features. MDA-MB-231 cell line stably knocking down the expression of SEMA6D was constructed, and the effects of SEMA6D on migration and invasion of TNBC cells were investigated by Wound-healing assays and Transwell assays. cBioPortal and GEPIA2 databases were used to screen out the gene negatively associated with it, namely aurora kinase A(AURKA). Bioinformatics and IHC were used to analyze the expression level of AURKA in TNBC and paracancer non-tumor tissues and its relationship with patients' clinicopathological features. Western blot assay was used to analyze the expression of AURKA and the effect of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) makers Claudin-1, N-cadherin and Vimentin after knocking downSEMA6D. Results: Bioinformatics analysis and IHC results showed that the expression of SEMA6D in TNBC tissues was significantly lower than that in paracancer non-tumor tissues(bothP<0.05). The expression of AURKA in TNBC tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancer non-tumor tissues(bothP<0.05), SEMA6D and AURKA were significantly negatively correlated in TNBC(P<0.01). Both low expression of SEMA6D and high expression of AURKA were positively correlated with tumor size, tumor histological grade, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis in TNBC patients(allP<0.05). The knockdown ofSEMA6Dsignificantly promoted the migration and invasion ability of TNBC cells(bothP<0.01). Western blot results showed that the knockdown ofSEMA6Dupregulated AURKA expression, promoted the expression of N-cadherin and Vimentin, and inhibited the expression of Claudin-1 in tumor cells. Conclusion Down-regulation of SEMA6D expression in TNBC may be involved in the malignant progression of TNBC through up-regulation of AURKA expression and promotion of EMT.

Objective : To explore the expression of prohibitin2(PHB2) in breast cancer and its effect on the biological behaviors of tumor cells. Methods : Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of PHB2 protein in breast cancer tissues and its relationship with clinicopathologic features. Breast cancer stable transient cell lines were constructed with knockdown and overexpression ofPHB2, respectively. The effects of PHB2 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability were detected by clone formation assay, scratch assay and Transwell assay. Western blot(WB) was used to detect the effects of PHB2 on the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related markers, including E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Snail family transcriptional repressor 1(Snail) protein, Vimentin, and Claudin-1. The effect of PHB2 on tumorigenicityin vivowas detected by subcutaneous tumor formation assay in nude mice. Results: The result of immunohistochemical showed that PHB2 was highly expressed in breast cancer and the expression of PHB2 was significantly positive correlated with tumor size, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2) status and proliferation index Ki-67 levels(P<0.05). Clone formation assay, scratch assay and Transwell assay revealed that knockdown ofPBH2significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion ability of breast cancer cells(P<0.01), while the overexpression ofPHB2significantly promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion(P<0.01). The result of subcutaneous tumor formation experiment in nude mice revealed a significant decrease in tumor volume and weight in knockdownPHB2mice(P<0.000 1), whilePHB2overexpression tumors significantly increased in volume and weight(P<0.001).WB assay showed that the protein expression of epithelial marker E-cadherin increased, while the expressions of mesenchymal markers N-cadherin, Snail and Vimentin decreased significantly afterPHB2knockdown with them in control cells(P<0.01). The expression of Claudin-1 decreased, while the expressions of N-cadherin, Snail and Vimentin increased significantly inPHB2overexpression cells(P<0.05). Conclusion PHB2 is highly expressed in breast cancer and promotes multiple malignant biological behaviors in tumor cells, suggesting PHB2 may be a potential target for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the application effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in treating bone marrow suppression induced by chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 53 pancreatic cancer patients who under-went chemotherapy induced bone marrow suppression at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center be-tween January and August 2024.All patients developed varying degrees of bone marrow suppression during the first to third cycles of conventional chemotherapy.In the fourth cycle of chemotherapy,TCM was added,and the improvement in bone marrow suppression after TCM treatment was ob-served.Results After thefirst cycle of chemotherapy,all patients exhibited different degrees of bone marrow suppression,including leukopenia,thrombocytopenia,neutropenia,and anemia.Compared with combined TCM treatment before,among patients with bone marrow suppression of grade Ⅱ and above,the proportion of those with leukopenia decreased significantly after one month of TCM treat-ment(P=0.019),and the proportion of those with thrombocytopenia also decreased,but the differ-ence was not statistically significant(P=0.066).There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients with neutropenia before and after TCM treatment(P=0.231).One month after TCM treatment,the white blood cell count,hemoglobin level,and platelet count of the patien-tsincreased comparedto before combined treatment(P=0.006,P=0.011,P＜0.001).One month after TCM treatment,the average number of use of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stim-ulating factor and recombinant human thrombopoietin were(2.8±1.9)times/cycle and(3.1±1.2)times/cycle,respectively,which were less than those before combined TCM treatment[(4.5±1.7)times/cycle and(4.5±1.3)times/cycle](P=0.002,0.038).Conclusion Combined TCM treatment can improve adverse reactions of bone marrow suppression after chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer and increase white blood cell count and hemoglobin level.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of non-seroconverted cases after rabies vaccination and observe the effect of booster vaccination.Methods:A retrospective collection of data was conducted from March 2022 to March 2023 across 409 rabies vaccination clinics in 27 provinces in China, focusing on cases with rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) levels less than 0.5 IU/ml after vaccination.Results:A total of 77 cases were identified in whom seroconversion was not observed within 30 days post-vaccination with the rabies vaccine. The gender distribution was 51.9% male and 48.1% female, with ages ranging from 2 to 83 years old. Delayed vaccination was observed in 11 cases (14.3%), and 63 cases (81.8%) received human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG) injections. None of the cases had a confirmed immunosuppressive disease or taking immunosuppressive drugs, and the body mass index (BMI) distribution ranged from 14.37 to 34.74 kg/m 2. Seventy-six cases seroconverted after 1 to 3 doses of rabies vaccines as a booster vaccination. One case that did not seroconvert after the initial booster vaccination seroconverted after receiving additional 2 doses of vaccine. All patients were followed up for one year, with no cases of rabies reported. Conclusions:The characteristics of cases that failed to seroconvert after the full course of rabies vaccination lacked specificity, and booster vaccination could lead to seroconversion.
