Jiegengtang is a basic formula for treating sore throat and cough. By means of bibliometrics, this study conducted a textual research and analysis on the key information such as formula origin, decocting methods, and clinical application of Jiegengtang. After the research, it can be seen that Jiegengtang is firstly contained in Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Disease, which is also known as Ganjietang, and it has been inherited and innovated by medical practitioners of various dynasties in later times. The origins of Chinese medicines in this formula is basically clear, Jiegeng is the dried roots of Platycodon grandiflorum, Gancao is the dried roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, the two medicines are selected raw products. The dosage is 27.60 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and 13.80 g of Platycodonis Radix, decocted with 600 mL of water to 200 mL, taken warmly after meals, twice a day, 100 mL for each time. In ancient times, Jiegengtang was mainly used for treating Shaoyin-heat invasion syndrome, with cough and sore throat as its core symptoms. In modern clinical practice, Jiegengtang is mainly used for respiratory diseases such as pharyngitis, esophagitis, tonsillitis and lung abscess, especially for pharyngitis and lung abscess with remarkable efficacy. This paper can provide literature reference basis for the modern clinical application and new drug development of Jiegengtang.

Journal of Gynecologic Oncology 2025;36(1):e51-
Background:
Recurrent gynecological clear cell carcinoma (rGCCC) has a low objective response rate (ORR) to chemotherapy. Previous preclinical and clinical data suggest a potential synergy between immune checkpoint inhibitors and bevacizumab in rGCCC.Dostarlimab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), combined with the anti-angiogenic bevacizumab, presents a novel therapeutic approach. This study will investigate the efficacy of dostarlimab +/− bevacizumab in rGCCC.
Methods
DOVE is a global, multicenter, international, open-label, randomized phase 2 study of dostarlimab +/− bevacizumab with standard chemotherapy in rGCCC. We will enroll 198 patients with rGCCC and assign them to one of three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: arm A (dostarlimab monotherapy), B (dostarlimab + bevacizumab), and C (investigator’s choice of chemotherapy [weekly paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, doxorubicin, or gemcitabine]). Patients with disease progression in arm A or C will be allowed to cross over to arm B. Stratification factors include prior bevacizumab use, prior lines of therapy (1 vs. >1), and primary site (ovarian vs. non-ovarian). Key inclusion criteria are histologically proven recurrent or persistent clear cell carcinoma of the ovary, endometrium, cervix, vagina, or vulva; up to five prior lines of therapy; disease progression within 12 months after platinumbased chemotherapy; and measurable disease. Key exclusion criteria are prior treatment with an anti–PD-1, anti–programmed death-ligand 1, or anti–programmed death-ligand 2 agent.The primary endpoint is progression-free survival determined by investigators. Secondary endpoints are ORR, disease control rate, clinical benefit rate, progression-free survival 2, overall survival, and toxicity. Exploratory objectives include immune biomarkers.

Objective :
Based on glycolysis of hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)/Bcl2/adenovirus E1B interacting protein 3(BNIP3) pathway, to study the mechanism of oxygen-induced retinal angiogenesis in neonatal mice.
Methods :
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) were divided into normoxic group, hypoxia+si-NC group, hypoxia +si-HIF-1α group and hypoxia+si-HIF-1α+BNIP group. In normoxic group, HUVECs were exposed to normoxic(21% O2) and cultured. Hypoxia +si-NC group, hypoxia +si-HIF-1α group and hypoxia +si-HIF-1α+BNIP3 group were treated with si-NC, si-HIF-1α or si-HIF-1α combined with BNIP3 plasmid for 36 h, and then exposed to hypoxia(1% O2) for culture. The autophagy, glycolysis, proliferation, migration and tube formation of mitochondria were investigated by immunofluorescence, metabolic measurement, cell viability, scratch experiment and tube formation experiment. On the 7th day after birth, C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to different treatment groups: control group, oxygen-induced retinopathy(OIR) group, OIR+si-HIF-1α group and OIR+si-BNIP group. The neovascularization and vascular occlusion were measured.
Results:
Compared with normoxic group, the rate of LC3+MitoTracker+ spots, glucose uptake and lactic acid release in HUVECs in hypoxia +si-NC group increased significantly(P<0.001). Compared with hypoxia +si-NC group, the rate of LC3+MitoTracker+ spots, glucose uptake and lactic acid release in HUVECs in hypoxia +si-HIF-1α group decreased significantly(P<0.01). Compared with normoxic group, the proliferation activity of HUVECs in hypoxia +si-NC group decreased significantly(P<0.05), and the wound healing area and the number of tubes formed increased significantly(P<0.01). Compared with hypoxia+si-NC group, the proliferation activity of HUVECs in hypoxia +si-HIF-1α group decreased significantly at the 24th, 48th and 72th hours of culture(P<0.05), and the wound healing area and the number of tubes formed decreased significantly(P<0.001). Overexpression of BNIP3 reversed the effects of HIF-1α knock-down on mitochondrial autophagy, glycolysis and biological function. Compared with OIR group, the neovascularization and vascular occlusion areas in retina of mice in OIR+si-HIF-1α group and OIR+si-BNIP3 group reduced significantly(P<0.05).
Conclusion
HIF-1α/BNIP3 signaling pathway promotes mitochondrial autophagy activation in HUVECs under hypoxia, which plays an important role in controlling endothelial function and angiogenesis.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

To report the first case of CRTC1::TRIM11 fusion cutaneous tumor in China. A 53-year-old male patient presented with a progressively enlarging, thickened plaque with ulceration and exudation on the left sole for 3 years. Dermatological examination revealed a skin-colored plaque measuring approximately 2 cm × 2 cm in size on the left sole, covered by thick scaly crusts and circumscribed dark-brown crusts. Histopathological examination of the lesion showed well-circumscribed, unencapsulated, multinodular and coalescing tumor masses in the dermis; the masses were primarily composed of amelanotic epithelioid cells and spindle cells, arranged in a multinodular pattern with sparse stroma; some nodules formed nests, while others exhibited a layered or fascicular pattern; mitotic figures were observed among tumor cells. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated strong nuclear positivity for SRY-box transcription factor 10 (SOX10) and tripartite motif-containing protein 11 (TRIM11). Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed a CRTC1 gene break. RNA transcriptome sequencing confirmed the presence of CRTC1::TRIM11 fusion. A diagnosis of CRTC1::TRIM11 fusion cutaneous tumor was made. The patient received wide local excision of the tumor. No recurrence was observed during 10 months of postoperative follow-up.
