By analyzing the current application of multi-modal data in the diagnosis of gastric "inflammation-cancer" transformation, this study explored the feasibility and strategies for constructing a disease-syndrome integrated diagnosis and treatment system. Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) phenomics, we proposed utilizing multi-modal data from literature research, cross-sectional studies, and cohort follow-ups, combined with artificial intelligence technology, to establish a multi-dimensional diagnostic and treatment index system. This approach aims to uncover the complex pathogenesis and transformation patterns of gastric "inflammation-cancer" progression. Additionally, by dynamically collecting TCM four-diagnostic information and modern medical diagnostic information through a long-term follow-up system, we developed three major modules including information extraction, multi-modal phenotypic modeling, and information output, to make it enable real-world clinical data-driven long-term follow-up and treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis. This system can provide technical support for clinical diagnosis, treatment evaluation, and research, while also offering insights and methods for intelligent TCM diagnosis.
2.Relationship between screening myopia and physical fitness index in college freshmen without majoring in public safety administration
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):431-434
Objective:
To explore the relationship between visual acuity and physical fitness of university freshmen, so as to provide reference for myopia prevention and control for freshmen.
Methods:
From October to November 2022, 2 160 college freshman without majoring in public safety administration, selected from Guangxi Police College in 2022 by using the stratified cluster random sampling method, were reviewed for the results of visual acuity test and physical fitness scores. The physical fitness indices were evaluated by using the Z scores of physical fitness test scores, and the strength of association between the level of physical fitness index and myopia was analyzed by using Logistic regression model.
Results:
Among 2 160 college freshman without majoring in public safety administration, 917 (42.5%) students were diagnosed screening myopia, including 66 (3.1%) cases of high myopia, 383 (17.7%) cases of moderate myopia and 468 (21.7%) cases of mild myopia. The differences in the distribution of visual acuity tests among students with different physical fitness indices, body mass index, and gender were statistically significant ( Z/H=54.50, 49.53, 15.51, P <0.01). Low level and low middle level physical fitness indices were associated with screening myopia among freshmen[ OR (95% CI )=2.81(1.93-4.08),1.87(1.38-2.54)], and low level physical fitness indexes were associated with high myopia [ OR (95% CI )=7.22(2.33-22.32)] ( P <0.01).
Conclusions
Screening myopia among college freshman without majoring in public safety administration is related to physical fitness, and low level and low middle level physical fitness index are risk factors for myopia. Improving the level of physical fitness might be effective in preventing myopia.

Cancer Research and Treatment 2025;57(1):126-139
Purpose:
This Phase II trial was objected to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding fulvestrant to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)– locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Additionally, the study aimed to investigate the association of 16α-18F-fluoro-17β-fluoroestradiol (18F-FES) positron emission tomography (PET)–computed tomography (CT) and metabolites with efficacy.
Materials and Methods:
Fulvestrant and EC-T regimen were given to ER+/HER2– LABC patients before surgery. At baseline, patients received 18F-FES PET-CT scan, and plasma samples were taken for liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included total pathologic complete response (tpCR) and safety.
Results:
Among the 36 patients enrolled, the ORR was 86.1%, the tpCR rate was 8.3%. The incidence of grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events was 22%. The decrease in ER value in sensitive patients was larger than that in non-sensitive patients, as was Ki-67 (p < 0.05). The maximum standardized uptake value, mean standardized uptake values, total lesion ER expression of 18F-FES PET-CT in sensitive patients were significantly higher than those in non-sensitive patients (p < 0.05). Moreover, these parameters were significantly correlated with Miller and Payne grade and the change in ER expression before and after treatment (p < 0.05). Thirteen differential expressed metabolites were identified, which were markedly enriched in 19 metabolic pathways.
Conclusion
This regimen demonstrated acceptable toxicity and encouraging antitumor efficacy. 18F-FES PET-CT might serve as a tool to predict the effectiveness of this therapy. Altered metabolites or metabolic pathways might be associated with treatment response.

This paper summarized the clinical experience of Professor XIE Jingri in treating bile reflux gastritis from the perspective of “disease of both wood and earth”. It is believed that the pathogenesis of bile reflux gastritis is the disharmony of liver and spleen, gallbladder and stomach, which belongs to the disease of both wood and earth. The treatment principle of harmonizing wood and earth is advocated. Clinically, bile reflux gastritis is divided into five patterns including liver constraint and spleen deficiency, liver fire harassing stomach, gallbladder and stomach obstruction, damp-heat in the gallbladder, and stomach yin depletion, for which Shugan Lipi Decoction (疏肝理脾汤) can be used to soothe the liver and move qi, fortify the spleen and activate spleen, Lianyu Qinggan Decoction (连萸清肝汤) to clear the liver and drain fire, harmonize stomach and stanch bleeding, Tongfu Paishi Decoction (通腑排石汤) to unblock and discharge gallbladder, harmonize stomach and direct counterflow qi downward, Qingdan Huazhuo Decoction (清胆化浊汤) to clear and drain damp-heat, promote gallbladder function and stanch bleeding, and Yiwei Decoction (益胃汤) to enrich and nourish stomach yin, clear and discharge deficiency-fire. When the clinical pattern is complex, multiple patterns occur simultaneously, or the disease involves multiple zang fu (脏腑) organs, the liver and the spleen should be regulated simultaneously, and the gallbladder and the stomach treated together, with self-designed Shumu Tiaotu Decoction (疏木调土汤) recommended as a basic prescription with flexibl modification based on the symptoms.

Objective:To explore the surgical intervention strategy for metastatic cervical lymph nodes surrounding the carotid artery in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:A total of 62 patients with advanced head and neck tumors and carotid wrap by disease treated in Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, the Affiliated BenQ Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between June 2019 and December 2023 were reviewed, of whom 9 patients presented with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in cervical lymph nodes of unknown primary or with no recurrence of primary lesion and all the 9 patients were males, aged from 48 to 79 years old, with≤level 2 of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-Performance Status (ECOG-PS). Radiographically common carotid artery (CCA) and/or internal carotid artery (ICA) were surrounded by≥270° with tumor. All the 9 patients received implantation of covered stent in carotid artery and radical resection of metastatic cervical lymph nodes. The success rate, complications, surgery-related complications, local recurrence rate, quality of life (QOL) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. The QOL of patients was compared by paired rank sum test, and P<0.05 indicated statistically significant difference. The OS was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier. Results:The success rate of stent implantation was 100%, with no implantation-related complications. R0 resection was performed in 8 cases and R1 resection in 1 case. The QOL of patients after surgery was improved, and the improvements in "pain", "mood" and "anxiety" were statistically significant( Z values were -2.236, -2.460 and -2.200, respectively, and all P values were<0.05). Follow-up was 1-18 months, with a median of 7 months, and 1 case was lost to follow-up. Local recurrence occurred in 3 patients with an incidence of 37.5% (3/8). OS was 59.9% at 12 months after surgery. Conclusion:Implantation of covered stent in carotid artery combined with radical resection is an effective method for the treatment of cervical lymph node metastasis.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and related influencing factors of thyroid nodules in different occupational groups in Shijiazhuang City.Methods:Different occupational groups who underwent physical examination at the Second Hospital of Shijiazhuang City from May to December 2015 and had lived there for more than 10 years were selected as the investigation subjects, including workers, farmers, science and technology education personnel, medical and health personnel, civil servants and individual businessmen. Questionnaire survey and thyroid examination were conducted, blood lipid, blood glucose and thyroid hormone levels were tested, and related influencing factors of thyroid nodules were analyzed.Results:A total of 1 440 different occupational subjects were surveyed, and the prevalence of thyroid nodules was 20.35% (293/1 440). The prevalence of thyroid nodules in females (22.59%, 159/704) was significantly higher than that in males (18.21%, 134/736), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 4.26, P = 0.039). There was a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of thyroid nodules in different age groups (χ 2 = 73.87, P < 0.001), with the highest prevalence in the 70 - 80 age group (43.75%, 21/48). There was a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of thyroid nodules among different occupational groups (χ 2 = 36.56, P < 0.001), with the highest prevalence in individual businessmen (31.84%, 78/245). By univariate analysis, the prevalence of thyroid nodules in people with good economic status [27.45% (42/153) vs 19.48% (248/1 273)], radiation exposure history [26.39% (109/413) vs 17.92% (184/1 027)], and diabetes history [33.71% (30/89) vs 19.47% (263/1 351)] was higher (χ 2 = 5.35, 13.06, 10.45, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of thyroid nodules in occupational group in Shijiazhuang City is relatively high, and the prevalence of thyroid nodules in females is significantly higher than that in males. Economic status, radiation exposure history and diabetes history are the main influencing factors.

Autologous ozonized blood transfusion(AOBT) is a therapy of re-transfusion of 100-200 mL of autologous blood after shaking and agitation with appropriate amount of oxygen-ozone in vitro. The oxidation of blood through the strong oxidation of ozone can enhance the non-specific immune response of the body, regulate the internal environment and promote health. This therapy has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, while no unified standard for the operation process in terms of ozone concentration, treatment frequency and treatment course had been established. This operation process of AOBT is primarily explored in order to standardize the operation process and ensure its safety and efficacy.

Objective:To compare the efficacies of arthroscopic modified Brostr?m procedure combined with or without peroneal tendon debridement in the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) concomitant with fibular tendinitis.Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 31 patients with CLAI concomitant with fibular tendinitis, who were treated in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University between March 2019 and December 2021. The patients included 17 males and 14 females, aged 16-57 years [(32.8±9.6)years]. The anterior drawer test and talar tilt test were positive in all patients preoperatively. Diagnosis was confirmed by physical examination and MRI, and calcaneofibular ligament rupture was excluded. Eleven patients received arthroscopic modified Brostr?m procedure combined with peroneal tendon debridement (modified Brostr?m procedure+tendon debridement group), and 20 underwent pure arthroscopic modified Brostr?m procedure (modified Brostr?m procedure group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and length of hospital stay were documented. The visual analogue score (VAS) in peroneal tendon area was assessed before operation and at postoperative 2, 6 and 12 weeks. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and foot and ankle outcome score (FAOS) were assessed before operation and at postoperative 6 and 12 weeks. The anterior drawer test was performed at the last follow-up. The foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM) score was assessed before operation and at the last follow-up. Postoperative wound healing and complications were also observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 4-19 months [(11.3±3.5)months]. The operation time was (66.0±4.2)minutes in the modified Brostr?m procedure+tendon debridement group, which was significantly longer than (61.5±3.4)minutes in the modified Brostr?m procedure group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss or length of hospital stay between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the preoperation, the value of VAS was significantly lowered, and the values of AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score, FAOS and FAAM score were significantly increased at different postoperative timepoints (all P<0.01). No significant differences in the values of VAS, AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score, FAOS or FAAM score were seen between the two groups before operation (all P>0.05). The value of VAS was 3.0(3.0, 4.0) points in the modified Brostr?m procedure+tendon debridement group, being markedly different from 4.0(4.0, 4.0)points in the modified Brostr?m procedure group at 2 weeks postoperatively ( P<0.05). The value of VAS was 2.0(1.0, 3.0)points in the modified Brostr?m procedure+tendon debridement group, being markedly different from 3.0(2.3, 3.0)points in the modified Brostr?m procedure group at 6 weeks postoperatively ( P<0.05). At 12 weeks postoperatively, there was no significant difference in the value of VAS between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the values of AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score and FAOS between the two groups at 6 or 12 weeks postoperatively (all P>0.05). The anterior drawer test was negative in all patients at the last follow-up. No significant difference was seen in the value of FAAM score between the two groups at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). All incisions were healed well in the first stage after operation, without the occurrence of joint infection, impaired joint motion, nerve injury or deep vein thrombosis. Conclusions:Arthroscopic modified Brostr?m procedure combined with or without peroneal tendon debridement can both improve the foot function in CLAI patients concomitant with fibular tendinitis. However, the combined treatment allows for early pain relief, without increasing the risk of complications, and can therefore contribute to a faster postoperative recovery.
