To summarize Professor GAO Shuzhong's clinical experience in treating idiopathic tinnitus with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica. It is believed that idiopathic tinnitus is mostly caused by weak lungs and spleen, kidney essence deficiency, liver constraint transforming into fire, and binding constraint of heart qi. Treatment advocates the combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica in clinical practice. Acupuncture treatment mainly focus on the method of opening the orifices by syndrome identification in combination with Ermen (TE 21), Tinggong (SI 19), Tinghui (GB 2), Shenmai (BL 62) to regulate qi and blood, and supporting with Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Taichong (LR 3), and Yanglingquan (GB 34) to soothe the liver, resolve constraint, and calm the mind. Oral administration of Chinese medicinal prescription usually includes modified Yiqi Congming Decoction (益气聪明汤) and Tongqi Powder (通气散), and the external administration of Chinese medicinal prescription can apply self-prescribed Wenqing Powder (温清散) to navel moxibustion.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic progressive inflammatory bowel disease. With the introduction of the "treat-to-target (T2T) " concept, the treatment goals for CD have become clearer and more specific. Traditional surgical treatment for CD typically follows a "complication-driven" approach, in which surgery is usually performed only after severe complications, such as bowel obstruction, fistulas, perforation, or cancer have occurred. The emergence of the treat-to-target strategy and the concept of disease clearance has transformed the surgical treatment of CD from a "passive rescue" model to an "active intervention" approach. Treatment goals have shifted from merely addressing complications and improving symptoms to achieving both short and long-term therapeutic objectives within the framework of treat-to-target. Achieving these goals helps to prevent CD-related complications, delay disease progression, reduce the risk of recurrence and malignancy, and improve the quality of life.
4.Research progress on nutritional risk identification and screening in patients with head and neck cancer
Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2025;31(17):2376-2380
Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are prone to nutritional risk, making timely screening and nutritional intervention crucial. Currently, there is no nutritional risk screening tool specifically tailored for HNC patients in clinical practice. Commonly used tools include the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) , the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) , and so on. Each tool has its strengths and limitations. This review summarizes the current application of nutritional risk screening tools in HNC patients, aiming to provide a reference for the identification and prevention of nutritional risk in clinical settings.

Objective:To explore the current research status and hotspots of Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD), and to provide a reference for conducting PGD-related studies in China.Methods:A literature search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection database, covering publications related to PGD from its inception to July 24, 2024. CiteSpace 6.1.R4 and VOSviewer 1.6.19 were used to perform visual analyses of publication countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords.Results:A total of 1996-2024 publications showed a fluctuating upward trend in the number of PGD-related studies. The United States was the country with the highest number of publications. Utrecht University had the highest institutional output, and Boelen, Paul A. was the most prolific author. The journal Death Studies had the largest number of PGD-related publications. Keyword clustering revealed that research participants primarily included caregivers of patients receiving palliative care and bereaved children. The relationship between PGD and other psychiatric disorders, the development of PGD assessment tools, and the mechanisms of PGD were identified as research hotspots. Keyword burst detection indicated that psychological interventions for PGD represent the research frontier. Conclusions:Future research should focus on the development of localized assessment tools and intervention programs for PGD, improvement of relevant policies, and the construction of grief care education systems grounded in Chinese cultural context.

Objective:To analyze the cytological, histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular pathological features of hyalinizing trabecular tumor (HTT).Methods:Clinical and pathological data of the HTT cases diagnosed at Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between 2020 and 2024 were collected and analyzed. HE staining, special staining, immunohistochemical staining, and next-generation sequencing were performed on all cases.Results:Among the 10 HTT patients, 4 were male and 6 were female. The age at onset ranged from 29 to 85 years, with a median age of 49 (35,61) years. The maximum tumor diameter ranged from 0.3 to 5.3 cm. Cytologically, the smears were hypercellular and showed tumor cells arranged in nested clusters with visible basement membrane-like material. The nuclei were oval with finely granular chromatin, and nuclear pseudoinclusions were readily identifiable. Histologically, the tumors were well demarcated. The tumor cells were arranged in a paraganglioma-like pattern, exhibiting typical nuclear features of papillary thyroid carcinoma and psammoma bodies. Yellow bodies were observed in the cytoplasm. The stroma was rich in hyalinized material, which was periodic acid-Schiff stain (PAS)-positive. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed diffuse expression of TTF-1 and focal expression of thyroglobulin. Aberrant immunoreaction with Ki-67 was present in the cytoplasm and membrane of the tumor cells. Molecular testing was performed on 8 cases. The PAX8-GLIS3 gene fusion was detected in 7 cases. Among these fusion-positive cases, 4 exhibited additional genetic abnormalities: one concurrent TSHR point mutation (p.D617H); one concurrent HRAS point mutation (p.Q61R); one concurrent LRP1B point mutation (p.S1752L), SUGCT point mutation (p.K137), and TERT point mutation (p.P785L); one concurrent MTOR mutation (7528+27A>T) and FLT3 mutation (p.E77K). The key initiating factors for thyroid carcinoma, including the BRAF V600E mutation and RET rearrangements, were absent in all cases tested.Conclusions:Cellular pleomorphism, yellow bodies and basement membrane-like material constitute important cytological and histological features for the differential diagnosis of HTT. Immunophenotypically, thyroglobulin may show focal expression, while Ki-67 is typically localized in the tumor cell membrane and cytoplasm. This study also demonstrates that PAX8-GLIS3 fusion is a characteristic molecular abnormality in HTT, although cases with wild type of GLIS gene may also present. Although rare, HTT may harbor point mutations in HRAS and TSHR, and other uncommon genetic alterations.
