Radiopharmaceuticals operate by combining radionuclides with carriers. The radiation energy emitted by radionuclides is utilized to selectively irradiate diseased tissues while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. In comparison to external beam radiation therapy, radionuclide drugs demonstrate research potential due to their biological targeting capabilities and reduced normal tissue toxicity. This article reviews the applications and research progress of radiopharmaceuticals in cancer treatment. Several key radionuclides are examined, including ²²³Ra, ⁹⁰Y, Lutetium-177 (¹⁷⁷Lu), ²¹²Pb, and Actinium-225 (²²⁵Ac). It also explores the current development trends of radiopharmaceuticals, encompassing the introduction of novel radionuclides, advancements in imaging technologies, integrated diagnosis and treatment approaches, and equipment-medication combinations. We review the progress in the development of new treatments, such as neutron capture therapy, proton therapy, and heavy ion therapy. Furthermore, we examine the challenges and breakthroughs associated with the clinical translation of radiopharmaceuticals and provide recommendations for the research and development of novel radionuclide drugs.

Bedridden patients mostly use the back cushion object,raise the bedside position,and other methods to obtain the semi-decumbent position.However,the existing methods have shortcomings such as insufficient execution,wrong angle estimation,weak consciousness,forgetting,decreased comfort,easy to cause pressure sore and aspiration pneumonia.To solve the shortcomings of the existing eating position placement method,the department of geriatric medicine team of Tongxiang City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine designed a bed-rest pillow for bed patients to eat or other requirements of semi-lying position,and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China(patent number:ZL 202122859891.4).This device places the pillow on a flat bed,with the back of the pillow next to the head of the bed for support and to prevent sliding.The patient was placed in a retainer slot,head in the first retainer slot,shoulder and back in the second retainer slot,waist and abdomen in the third retainer slot,and hands on the armrests on both sides of the pillow.The use of pillows for bedridden patients is simple and easy to learn,convenient,economical and practical,time-saving and labor-saving,and convenient supervision and inspection,which can reduce complications such as aspiration and pressure ulcers,thereby reducing the economic burden of the patient,improving the quality of life,and improving the satisfaction of patients and their families,and is worthy of clinical promotion and use.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To develop a simple, practical and repeatable ultrasound method to locate the muscle at the trigger point of female myofascial pelvic pain(MPP), which can provide imaging reference for clinical precision treatment.Methods:A total of 113 patients with suspected MPP who came to the Women′s Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University from September 1, 2021 to April 20, 2023 were prospectively selected. The gynecologist performed internal examination with index finger on some pelvic floor muscles (puborectalis, pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus, coccygeus) and pelvic wall muscles (piriformis and obturator internus) respectively, searched for the muscles where the pain trigger point was located, and scored the pain by referring to visual analogue scale (VAS) and numerical rating scale (NRS), and then referred the patients to the ultrasound department. The ultrasound doctor used transvaginal ultrasound to display the above muscle groups in real time for observation and appropriate pressure. The muscle where the painful trigger point was located was found through tenderness and the pain score was performed. The two scores were compared for consistency and difference analysis.Results:The trigger point was clear and of good reproducibility. For the location and score of pain trigger points located in bilateral puborectalis, pubococcygeus and coccygeus, there was a strong consistency between the tenderness guided by vaginal ultrasound probe and clinical palpation (the consistency rate was ≥70%), and there was no significant difference in the pain scores of the trigger points located in the puborectalis muscle and coccygeal muscle between the two methods ( P>0.05), and there was statistically significant difference in the pain scores of the trigger points located in the other pelvic floor and pelvic wall muscles (all P<0.05). At the same time, ultrasonic examination made up for the deficiency of clinical palpation in the evaluation of piriformis muscle. Conclusions:The present method for finding the trigger point of MPP guided by the ultrasound probe is a new non-invasive, safe, simple and practical imaging method, which can provide a new imaging reference for the clinical diagnosis of MPP and the formulation of treatment strategies.

The real-time monitoring of cerebral hemorrhage can reduce its disability and fatality rates greatly. On the basis of magnetic induction phase shift, we in this study used filter and amplifier hardware module, NI-PXI data-acquisition system and LabVIEW software to set up an experiment system. We used Band-pass sample method and correlation phase demodulation algorithm in the system. In order to test and evaluate the performance of the system, we carried out saline simulation experiments of brain hemorrhage. We also carried out rabbit cerebral hemorrhage experiments. The results of both saline simulation and animal experiments suggested that our monitoring system had a high phase detection precision, and it needed only about 0.030 4s to finish a single phase shift measurement, and the change of phase shift was directly proportional to the volume of saline or blood. The experimental results were consistent with theory. As a result, this system has the ability of real-time monitoring the progression of cerebral hemorrhage precisely, with many distinguished features, such as low cost, high phase detection precision, high sensitivity of response so that it has showed a good application prospect.

This study was aimed to improve the sensitivity of magnetic induction phase shift detection system for cerebral hemorrhage. In the study, a cerebral hemorrhage model with 13 rabbits was established by injection of autologous blood and the cerebral hemorrhage was detected by utilizing magnetic induction phase shift spectroscopy (MIPSS) detection method under the feature band. Sixty five groups of phase shift spectroscopy data were obtained. According to the characteristics of cerebral hemorrhage phase shift spectroscopy under the feature hand, an effective method, B-F distribution, to diagnose the severity of cerebral hemorrhage was designed. The results showed that using MIPSS detection method under feature band, the phase shift obviously growed with increase of injection volume of autologous blood, and the phase shift induced by a 3-mL injection reached -7.750 3 degrees ± 1.420 4 degrees. B-F distribution could effectively diagnose the severity of cerebral hemorrhage. It can be concluded that the sensitivity of the cerebral hemorrhage magnetic induction detection system is improved by one order of magnitude with the MIPSS detection method under the feature band.
