ObjectiveStarting from the etiology， pathogenesis， and treatment strategies of endometriosis and adenomyosis， to integrate and sort out the academic characteristics of contemporary renowned experts and schools in the field of traditional Chinese medicine gynecology. MethodsAccording to the systematic review of text and opinion （SrTO） process developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute （JBI） in Australia， this paper determined literature screening criteria by searching China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， VIP， Wanfang， and China Biomedical Literature Database. Information was extracted after literature screening， and quality evaluation was conducted using the JBI Narrative， Text， and Opinion Systematic Review Strict Evaluation Checklist. The JBI Narrative， Opinion， Text Evaluation， and Review Tool Summary Table was used for information synthesis， and data analysis and display were conducted in the form of text and charts. ResultsThe 146 articles related to 39 renowned experts and 19 articles related to 10 schools of thought were included. Research has found that contemporary experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology consider blood stasis as the core pathogenesis in understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of two diseases and related infertility. Their viewpoints varied from multiple aspects such as clinical symptom characteristics， meridian circulation location， pathological product evolution， disease duration， emotional psychology， lifestyle habits， preference for food and drink， innate endowment， and acquired injury. In terms of treatment， it was advocated to divide the stage， treat according to different types， adapt to the times， integrate nature and humans， and combine multiple methods to treat comprehensively when necessary. It was also recommended to skillfully use insects， make good use of classic formulas and small prescriptions， pay attention to protecting the spleen and stomach and regulating emotions， and make good use of self-formulated empirical formulas for internal or external use. Besides， individualized long-term management of patients was also advocated. ConclusionThis study applies the SrTO process to systematically summarize the academic ideas of contemporary renowned experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology regarding the causes， mechanisms， diagnosis， and treatments of endometriosis， providing a scientific and standardized reference for future theoretical exploration.

ObjectiveTo evaluate a third-generation applicator template for intracavitary combined with interstitial brachytherapy （IC-ISBT） suitable for locally advanced cervical cancer， aiming to improve therapeutic outcomes. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on patients with stage IB3-ⅣB cervical cancer treated at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 2023 to October 2023. Magnetic resonance imaging data before and after external beam radiation therapy were collected and analyzed. According to the residual tumor after external beam radiation， high-risk clinical target volumes （HR-CTV） were delineated， based on which a third-generation IC-ISBT applicator template was designed. The dosimetric and therapeutic differences between using this applicator template （template implantation group） and traditional freehand interstitial implantation （freehand implantation group） were further compared. Statistical methods were used to analyze the data from both groups to test the efficacy and safety of the two approaches. ResultsThe third-generation applicator template could accommodate different cervical structures and optimize needle path layout. The tumor volume in the template implantation group was significantly larger than in the freehand implantation group， showing statistical differences. In terms of dosimetric coverage （V_100%）， the template implantation group exhibited significant statistical differences compared with the freehand implantation group， demonstrating superior dose coverage. Additionally， the third-generation template showed advantages in protecting the rectum and sigmoid colon by potentially reducing high-dose points， while there were no significant differences in bladder dosimetry between the two methods. The primary cervical lesion remission rates were similar between the two groups. ConclusionThe third-generation IC-ISBT applicator template is scientifically and rationally designed， especially for patients with larger tumor volumes and later stages. It is easy to operate， highly reproducible， and shows significant advantages in dose distribution and protection of surrounding critical organs. The template has the potential to be widely applied as a routine treatment option.

Objective To investigate the regulatory role of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1) signaling on the subtypes and functions of natural killer (NK) cells at the maternal-fetal interface during the second trimester in mice following Toxoplasma gondii infection during the first trimester. Methods Twelve 6- to 8-week-old female mice of the C57BL/6J strain were divided into a control group and an infection group, of 6 mice in each group. On the 6.5th day of pregnancy (Gd6.5), each pregnant mouse in the infection group was intraperitoneally injected with 150 tachyzoites of the Toxoplasma gondii PRU strain, while mice in the control group were injected with an equal volume of physiological saline. On the 12.5th day of pregnancy (Gd12.5), uterus and placenta tissues were sampled from pregnant mice for pathological observations, and the mRNA expression levels of PD-1, PD-L1, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were quantified in uterus and placenta tissues. The PD-1 and DX5 expression was measured on NK cells at the maternal-fetal interface using flow cytometry. In addition, the in vitro JEG-3 trophoblast cells and NK-92MI cells co-culture system was established as the control group, and the addition of T. gondii tachyzoites in the co-culture system served as the infection group. The PD-1, PD-L1, and DX5 mRNA expression was quantified in cells using real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) assay, and the TNF-α concentration was measured in the cell culture supernatant using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results On Gd12.5, clear and intact cellular structures of placental decidual tissues were seen in pregnant mice in the control group, with no remarkable abnormal changes found in the uterine columnar epithelial cells, and inflammatory cell infiltration and blood stasis at varying degrees were found in uterine and placental tissues from pregnant mice in the infection group. The relative PD-1, PD-L1, and TNF-α mRNA expression was (1.004 ± 0.004), (1.001 ± 0.001), and (1.001 ± 0.001) in uterine tissues from pregnant mice in the control group and (2.480 ± 0.720), (3.355 ± 0.920), and (2.391 ± 0.073) in the infection group, respectively. The relative PD-1, PD-L1, and TNF-α mRNA expression was (1.007 ± 0.010), (1.006 ± 0.006), and (1.001 ± 0.001) in the uterine tissues in the control group and (6.948 ± 1.918), (3.225 ± 1.034), and (1.536 ± 0.150) in the infection group, respectively. The relative PD-1, PD-L1, and TNF-α mRNA expression was higher in both the uterine (t = 3.55, 4.43 and 33.02, all P values < 0.05) and placental tissues (t = 5.36, 3.72 and 6.18, all P values < 0.05) in the infection group than in the control group. Flow cytometry showed that the proportions of PD-1⁺ NK cells, PD-1⁺ DX5⁺ NK cells, and DX5⁺ NK cells were (12.200 ± 1.082)%, (9.373 ± 7.728)%, and (44.000 ± 4.095)% in uterine tissues from pregnant mice in the control group, and (21.733 ± 1.630)%, (18.767 ± 1.242)%, and (73.367 ± 0.611)% in the infection group, respectively. The proportions of PD-1⁺ NK cells, PD-1⁺ DX5⁺ NK cells, and DX5⁺ NK cells were (1.100 ± 0.510)%, (2.277 ± 1.337)%, and (96.167 ± 2.831)% in placental tissues from mice in the control group, and (26.867 ± 9.722)%, (23.433 ± 6.983)%, and (82.467 ± 2.248)% in the infection group, respectively. The proportions of PD-1⁺ NK cells (t = 8.45, P < 0.05) and DX5⁺ NK cells (t = 12.29, P < 0.05) were higher in uterine tissues from pregnant mice in the infection group than in the control group, and no significant difference was seen in the proportion of PD-1⁺ DX5⁺ NK cells (Z = -1.09, P > 0.05). The proportions of PD-1⁺ NK cells (t = 4.58, P < 0.05) and PD-1⁺ DX5⁺ NK cells (t = 5.15, P < 0.05) were higher in placental tissues from pregnant mice in the infection group than in the control group, while the proportion of DX5⁺ NK cells was lower in the infection group than in the control group (t = -6.56, P < 0.05). RT-qPCR assay revealed that the relative PD-1, PD-L1, and DX5 mRNA expression was (1.010 ± 0.005), (1.002 ± 0.003), and (1.001 ± 0.001) in the JEG-3 cells and NK92MI cells co-culture system and (3.638 ± 1.258), (0.397 ± 0.158), and (4.267 ± 1.750) in the control group, and ELISA measured that the TNF-α concentration was higher in the cell culture supernatant in the infection group [(22.056 ± 3.205) pg/mL] than in the control group [(12.441 ± 0.001) pg/mL] (t = 5.20, P < 0.05). The PD-1(t = 3.62, P < 0.05) and DX5 mRNA expression (t = 3.23, P < 0.05) was higher in the infection group than in the control group, and the PD-L1 mRNA expression was lower in the infection group than in the control group (t = -6.63, P < 0.05). Conclusions Following T. gondii infection, both PD-L1 expression and PD-1 expression on DX5⁺ NK cells at the maternal-fetal interface are upregulated in mice during the second trimester; however, the proportion of DX5⁺ NK cells decreases. These findings suggest that PD-1/PD-L1 signaling may suppress NK cell functions by modulating DX5⁺ NK cell subsets.

A 66-year-old female patient underwent ovarian cancer cell reduction for stage ⅢC ovarian cancer,and was given 8 courses of chemotherapy with paclitaxel+carboplatin.The tumor recurred 3 years later,and chemotherapy with paclitaxel+carboplatin regimen was given for 6 courses.5 months later,the tumor recurred for the second time,and etoposide soft capsule was given at a specific dose of 100 mg·m-2 orally daily,and discontinued after 14 days of continuous use,repeated every 3 weeks.Ten months later,the patient was admitted to the hospital due to intermittent afternoon hypothermia and severe platelet reduction.Etoposide was stopped immediately,and the symptomatic and supportive treatments such as infusion of fresh platelets,recombinant human thrombopoietin injection caffeic acid tablets and other platelet-boosting treatments,red cell suspension,iron replenishment,empirical anti-inflammatory and antipyretic were given,but the efficacy was not obvious.Bone marrow puncture biopsy was performed to confirm acute leukemia,the type to be determined.The patient died 80 days after etoposide discontinuation due to septic shock and systemic multifunctional organ failure.It is the first time to report the case of etoposide-induced secondary acute leukemia in China.Based on the Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting and Monitoring Management Measures,the correlation evaluation was performed,and the result is"probably relevant".The correlation between etoposide and adverse reactions was rated by Naranjo's assessment scale,and the result was"probably relevant".In this paper,the anticancer mechanism and related adverse reactions of etoposide were reviewed,and the mechanism that etoposide may cause secondary acute leukemia was analyzed to improve the safety of etoposide in clinical application.

Objective:To compare the changes in pelvic floor electrophysiology and imaging in female patients with myofascial pelvic pain (MFPP), and to explore the characteristics and significance of these changes.Methods:A total of 49 MFPP patients who were admitted to the of Dalian Women′s and Children′s Medical Center (Group) from January 2019 to October 2021 were randomly selected as the research group, and 41 healthy women during the same period were selected as the control group. Both groups filled in the center′s medical history and general condition survey form. French PHENIX series pelvic floor muscle potential detection instrument was used to detect the resting vaginal muscle potential and maximum muscle potential of the two groups. The static tension, dynamic tension and pelvic floor muscle contraction force of the two groups were measured by French PHENIX series electronic tensioning apparatus with 5° and 10° opening respectively. Two dimensional transperineal ultrasound and three dimensional transvaginal ultrasound produced by B-K Company in Denmark were used to measure the length between the lower margin of the bladder neck from the symphysis pubis and the bladder neck and the bladder bottom (BND, BSD), the diameter of the genital tract hiatus and the angle of the anus and rectum. The area, anterior-posterior diameter, transverse diameter and different damage degrees of levator ani levator were measured.Results:The resting muscle potential of the study group was higher than that of the control group: 2 μV vs. 1 μV ( P<0.05); the maximum vaginal myopotential was higher than that of the control group: 7 μV vs. 6 μV ( P<0.05). The static tension, dynamic tension and contractile force: 204 g/m 2 vs. 175 g/m 2, 450 g/m 2 vs. 410 g/m 2 and 237 g/m 2 vs. 51 g/m 2 of pelvic floor muscle in the study group were higher than those in the control group when the tensioner was opened for 5° ( P<0.05). In resting state, BND, BSD and reproductive tract hiatus diameter in the study group were smaller than those in the control group: 14.0 mm vs. 16.7 mm, 15.3 mm vs. 19.7 mm, 46.7 mm vs. 49.5 mm ( P<0.05). The anal angle was greater than that of the control group: 129° vs. 112° ( P<0.05). The anal right angle in the study group was greater than that in the control group: 113° vs. 109° ( P<0.05). In the resting state, the area of levator ANI hiatus: 10.1 cm 2 vs. 11.6 cm 2, anterior and posterior diameters: 44.2 mm vs. 47.4 mm, transverse diameters and the defect scores of levator ani in the study group were all smaller than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:MFPP presents with persistent pelvic floor muscle spasm and loss of coordination. MFPP can be treated by spasmolysis of pelvic floor muscle and fascia, which provides reference value for clinical treatment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of pharmaceutical management in compact medical consortium of Guangdong province， and to provide decision-making basis for promoting the high-quality construction and sustainable development of the provincial medical consortium. METHODS A self-designed questionnaire was used to select 50 compact medical consortiums in Guangdong province. The survey was answered by the heads of the pharmacy department of the general hospitals. The survey covered the basic scale of the consortium， the appointment of chief pharmacists， the implementation of pharmaceutical management and pharmaceutical care homogenization within the consortium， the difficulties in promoting the homogenization， and the expected provincial support. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the survey results. RESULTS A total of 50 questionnaires were collected， and the effective recovery rate was 100%. There were 16 chief pharmacists （32.00%） in charge of the pharmacy department of the general hospital in the medical consortium. Thirty-seven medical consortiums （74.00%） had established a drug supply support system within the consortium， 35 medical consortiums （70.00%） had carried out pharmaceutical management and coordination work within the medical consortium， 23 medical consortiums （46.00%） had established a clinical medication guidance system， 25 medical consortiums chenwenying2016@163.com （50.00%） had established a bidirectional communication mechanism， and only 8 medical consortiums （16.00%） had developed new models of pharmaceutical care. At present， the difficulties in promoting the homogenization of pharmaceutical management and pharmaceutical care within the medical consortium were mainly found in three aspects： the wide gap in management level of each member unit， the lack and uneven level of pharmaceutical personnel， and insufficient policy support and implementation. Most medical consortiums hoped that relevant departments could promote the homogenization of pharmaceutical work by holding special training courses or special supervision. CONCLUSIONS At present， the compact medical consortium in Guangdong province has achieved initial results in the implementation of the chief pharmacist system， the homogenization of pharmaceutical management and pharmaceutical care. However， it is still necessary to improve the coverage of chief pharmacist appointments in the medical consortium， implement the homogenization of pharmaceutical management， and accelerate the homogenization process of pharmaceutical care.

Objective　To investigate the contamination status of Bacillus cereus in food, the profile of virulence factors carried, and drug sensitivity characteristics in Liaoning Province. Methods　A total of 620 samples were isolated from 15 monitoring sites, covering four major sample types of food products in Liaoning Province between 2021 and 2022. Bacillus cereus was isolated and identified by GB4789.14—2014, and its virulence was assessed using PCR detection of the groEL and gyrB genes specific to the bacterial group, as well as 11 other virulence genes. Broth microdilution method was used to detect the antibiotic sensitivity of the strain. Results　All 79 Bacillus cereus strains were found to carry virulence genes. The detection rates of non-hemolytic enterotoxin genes nheC, nheA, and nheB were 100% (79/79), 93.3% (74/79), and 83.5% (66/79), respectively. The detection rate of enterotoxin entFM gene was 98.7% (78/79). The 79 strains of Bacillus cereus carried 19 types of virulence gene patterns, with IX and XVII gene patterns being the most prevalent, each accounted for 16.5% (13/79). The resistance rates of 79 strains of Bacillus cereus to 10 antibacterial drugs were 100% for both ampicillin and penicillin. The resistance rates to cotrimoxazole, imipenem, erythromycin, clindamycin, ciprofloxacin, and tetracycline 65.8% (52/79), 10.1% (8/79), 73.4% (58/79), 60.8% (48/79), 75.9% (60/79), and 70.9% (56/79) respectively. The resistance rates to chloramphenicol and gentamicin were both 0%. Conclusion　Food from catering services in Liaoning Province shows contamination by Bacillus cereus, with isolated strains carrying at least four kinds of virulence genes. About 100% of the isolates were resistant to ampicillin and penicillin, whereas high sensitivity was observed to chloramphenicol and gentamicin. Active monitoring, timely targeted prevention and control interventions should be strengthened to provide a theoretical basis for future traceability studies.

Objective:To analyze the treatment outcomes and prognoses of children with head and neck non-parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma (HNnPM RMS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with HNnPM RMS admitted to Beijing Children′s Hospital from September 2012 to September 2022. The clinical features, comprehensive treatment modes and prognoses of the patients were analyzed. The overall survival rate (OS) and event free survival rate (EFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariate analysis was performed using the Log-rank test.Results:A total of 70 children were included in this study, 38 males and 32 females, with a median age of 47 months (2-210 months). Pathological subtypes including the embryonal in 27 cases, the alveolar in 36 cases and the spindle cell and sclerosing in 7 cases. Thirty children (83.3%) with alveolar type were positive for FOXO1 gene fusion. All 70 children underwent chemotherapy, including 38 with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 32 with adjuvant chemotherapy. Sixty of 70 children underwent surgery, of whom, 10 underwent two or more surgeries. There were 63 children underwent radiotherapy, including 54 with intensity-modulated radiation therapy, 4 with particle implantation and 5 with proton therapy. The median follow-up was 45 (5-113) months, the 5-year OS was 73.2%, and the 5-year EFS was 57.7%. Univariate analysis showed lymph node metastasis ( χ2=5.022, P=0.025), distant metastasis ( χ2=8.258, P=0.004), and high Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study (IRS) group ( χ2=9.859, P=0.029) as risk factors for poor prognosis. Before June 2016, the 5-year OS based on BCH-RMS-2006 scheme was 63.6%, and after 2016, the 5-year OS based on CCCG-RMS-2016 scheme was 79.6%. Conclusion:Multidisciplinary combined standardized treatment can offer good treatment outcome and prognosis for children with HNnPM RMS. Local control is a key to the efficacy of comprehensive treatment.

Objective:To develop the children′s postoperative health-related quality of life scale for thyroid cancer and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The first draft of the scale was developed through literature search, focus group meetings, and a pre-survey, and 116 children (76 for testing and 40 for external validation) with thyroid cancer attending Beijing Children′s Hospital of Capital Medical University were selected to answer the scale, to screen and categorize the questions and to form the final scale with multiple dimensions.Results:The children′s postoperative health-related quality of life scale for thyroid cancer contained 5 dimensions and 29 questions. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the cumulative variance explained by the 5 factors was 64.343%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed correlations between the questions and dimensions of this scale, fair convergent validity for the scale, and good discriminant validity. The validity of the validity scale showed that there was a existing correlation between the questions and the validity scale of this scale. The item-dimension correlation coefficients showed that the questions in each dimension were well differentiated. The total Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale was 0.930, the folded half reliability was 0.843, and retest reliabilities at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after the initial test were respectively 0.936, 0.922, and 0.910.Conclusion:The developed children′s postoperative health-related quality of life scale for thyroid cancer has good reliability and validity and can be used to assess the health-related quality of life of children after thyroid cancer surgery.
