This paper summarizes Professor LU Fang's clinical experience in treating systemic lupus erythematosus （SLE） based on the differentiation and treatment of heat-toxin and blood-stasis in the collaterals. SLE is generally characterized by deficiency in origin with excess in manifestation. The core pathogenesis is heat-toxin obstructing the collaterals. During the acute active stage， the predominant pattern is blazing heat-toxin causing blood stasis， while in the chronic remitting stage， the main pattern is toxic stasis blocking the collaterals with qi and yin deficiency. Clinical treatment follows the basic principle that treat with salty-cold herbs， when heat invades internally and that assist with acrid-dispersing herbs when stasis obstructs the collaterals. The self-formulated Yimian Decoction （抑免汤） serves as the base formula and is applied in stages. During the acute active stage， it is often combined with herbs for clearing heat and detoxifying， cooling blood and resolving stasis， and unblocking the collaterals. In the chronic remitting stage， it is often combined with herbs for activating blood circulation and unblocking the collaterals， as well as tonifying qi and nourishing yin.

Objective To summarize and evaluate the treatment strategies and clinical outcomes of bladder inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT),so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this rare entity.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of two patients with bladder IMT treated at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University.In combination with literature analysis,the clinical characteristics,treatment methods and prognosis of this disease were analyzed.Results Both patients presented with painless terminal macroscopic hematuria.Patient 1 was a 42-year-old male with a 6 cm bladder mass detected by cystoscopy,with no muscular involvement.Transurethral en bloc resection with a 1470 nm diode laser was performed,followed by a second transurethral resection.Patient 2 was a 21-year-old male with a 5 cm bladder mass visualized on cystoscopy,with no muscular invasion.Transurethral en bloc resection using a 1470 nm diode laser was conducted,followed by transurethral laser marking the margin of the wound and laparoscopic partial cystectomy.Preoperative cystoscopic biopsy and postoperative pathology diagnosed it as IMT,which invaded the superficial muscular layer and the margin was negative.Patient 1 was followed for 40 months and patient 2 for 15 months.Follow-up cystoscopy performed every 3 months showed no evidence of recurrence.This article also summarized the relevant literature on bladder IMT over the past five years.Conclusion Bladder IMT is an extremely rare neoplasm with nonspecific clinical manifestations,posing challenges in both diagnosis and treatment.However,early recognition and definitive pathological diagnosis,combined with bladder-sparing surgical strategies such as en bloc resection,often result in favorable outcomes,with reduced risk of recurrence and improved quality of life.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective To analyze and compare the diagnostic criteria of dampness syndrome in clinical studies and construct a dampness syndrome entry pool,so as to provide theoretical support for the development of dampness-related scales,and then provide reference for clinical research.Methods By searching the literature collected by CNKI,VIP and Wanfang data database from 1960 to 2023,the clinical research literature of dampness syndrome was searched and screened,and the diagnostic criteria of dampness syndrome were summarized and analyzed.Results A total of 7651 articles were retrieved from the above database,and 52 articles were finally included.9 diagnostic criteria were obtained by combining the screening of teaching materials.They are The National Standard of Chinese Medicine Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Chinese Medicine(GB/T16751.2-1997),Syndrome element differentiation,Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Standards,Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation and Diagnosis,Diagnostics of Traditional Chinese Medicine(Fifth edition,sixth edition,second edition of the new century,People's Health Commission edition,and tenth edition of the National Higher Traditional Chinese Medicine College Planning Textbook).The diagnostic methods can be divided into three kinds:narrative method,primary and secondary disease(or see disease)classification diagnosis method,and assigning method.There are a total of 36 symptom components,which can be divided into four groups:the accumulation of muscle and striae group,the obstruction of meridians and joints group,the internal accumulation of organs group,and the dampness and obstruction of orifices group.The National Standard of Chinese Medicine Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Chinese Medicine(GB/T16751.2-1997)has been cited for a maximum of 22 times,covering 16 diseases.Conclusion The National Standard of Chinese Medicine Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Chinese Medicine is the most widely used in clinical research,and the new version of national standard in 2021 is more suitable for the current diagnosis and clinical research of dampness syndrome.

Objective:To retrospectively evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of total 3D laparo-scopic ileal ureters replacement for bilateral ureters combined with bladder augmentation in patients with post-radiotherapy long-segment bilateral ureteral strictures and contracted bladder.Methods:Clinical data of two patients(aged 72 and 54 years)with radiation-induced long-segment bilateral ureteral stric-tures and reduced bladder capacity,treated at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from Octo-ber 2023 to June 2024,were analyzed.Both presented with bilateral flank pain,recurrent chills/fever,urinary frequency,and urgency.Preoperative ureteral stricture lengths were measured as follows:left 10.4 cm and right 8.7 cm in the first case;left 10.6 cm and right 11.7 cm in the second case.Bladder capacity assessed by nephrostomy-assisted antegrade urography was 90 mL and 130 mL respectively.Both underwent single-position,one-stage totally 3D laparoscopic bilateral ileal ureteral replacement and blad-der augmentation based on membrane anatomy principles,with regular postoperative follow-up.Results:Procedures were completed by the same experienced urologist.Operative times were 420 min and 355 min,with intraoperative blood loss of 50 mL(no transfusion required).Postoperative bowel function re-sumed at the end of 4.5 and 3 days.No major perioperative complications occurred.Ureteral stents were removed at 2 months postoperatively,with imaging showing improved hydronephrosis,unobstructed ure-teral drainage,symmetrical bladder morphology,and smooth walls.Postoperative bladder capacities were 230 mL and 250 mL.Follow-up durations were 10 and 8 months.Both patients experienced significant relief of flank pain and lower urinary tract symptoms.No complications(enteric fistula,urinary fistula,or metabolic acidosis)were observed.At the final follow-up,one patient had mildly elevated serum cre-atinine,while the other showed reduced levels compared with preoperative values;both remained stable.Conclusion:Membrane anatomy-based dissection facilitates safe mobilization of fibrotic ureters with mini-mal bleeding and collateral damage.Total intracorporeal 3D laparoscopic ileal ureters replacement for bi-lateral ureters combined with bladder augmentation effectively addresses long-segment ureteral obstruction and improves bladder capacity.This approach is technically safe and feasible,though further validation with larger clinical cohorts is warranted.

Trifluridine-tipiracil(TAS-102),as a novel fluorouracil-based chemotherapeutic agent,effectively overcomes fluorouracil resistance in colorectal cancer(CRC)through its unique pharmacological mechanisms,providing a critical treatment option for advanced CRC patients.Probiotics have shown unique value in CRC prevention and adjuvant therapy by regulating intestinal flora homeostasis and modulating host immune response.It is worth noting that the combination of chemotherapeutic drugs and probiotics not only enhances the anti-tumor activity through synergistic effects,but also reduces the adverse effects caused by chemotherapeutic drugs.Based on this,this paper systematically reviews the pharmacological properties of TAS-102 and describes its synergistic effects in combination with other antitumor drugs.It also summarizes the synergistic effect of fluorouracil drugs combined with probiotics to enhance the effectiveness and reduce the toxicity,and discusses the potential value of the combination of TAS-102 and probiotics,which provides a new research direction for optimizing the precision treatment of CRC and a scientific basis for improving the quality of life of patients.

Aim To investigate the effect of cumulative non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol/high density lip-oprotein cholesterol(non-HDLC/HDLC)exposure on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD).Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted.A total of 50 777 employees of Kailuan Group who participated in three physical examinations in 2006-2007,2008-2009 and 2010-2011 were selected as the study subjects.Groups were divided into Q1,Q2,Q3 and Q4 according to the cumulative non-HDLC/HDLC exposure quartiles.Kaplan-Meier curve was used to calculate the cumulative incidence of ASCVD in different cumulative non-HDLC/HDLC groups,and Log-rank test was used to compare the differences among groups.Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the effect of cumulative non-HDLC/HDLC exposure on ASCVD.Results The average follow-up was(10.19±2.21)years,and 5 003 new cases of ASCVD occurred.The cumulative incidence of ASCVD in groups Q1 to Q4 was 6.49％,8.71％,10.86％and 14.85％,respectively(Log-rank P＜0.01).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that compared with group Q1,the HR(95％CI)of ASCVD in groups Q2,Q3 and Q4 were 1.13(1.03～1.24),1.18(1.07～1.29),1.22(1.12～1.34),respectively;the HR(95％CI)of myocardial infarction were 1.15(0.87～1.53),1.44(1.10～1.88),1.67(1.29～2.17),respectively;the HR(95％CI)of revascularization were 1.21(0.99～1.49),1.31(1.07～1.60)and 1.49(1.22～1.81),respectively;the HR(95％CI)of ischemic stroke were 1.17(1.03～1.32),1.17(1.04～1.33)and 1.21(1.06～1.37),respectively;but the above association was not found when heart failure and atrial fibrillation were used as the outcome events.The restricted cubic spline showed that cumulative non-HDLC/HDLC values were line-arly associated with the risk of ASCVD.Conclusion Cumulative non-HDLC/HDLC exposure was positively associated with the risk of ASCVD.

Objective:To establish a reference interval for serum iodine of pregnant women with normal thyroid function and to analyze the relationship between serum iodine and thyroid disease risk.Methods:From July 2022 to October 2023, using cross-sectional survey method, pregnant women aged 18 to 48 years old who had lived in iodine-deficient areas in the six provinces of China (Shanxi Province, Fujian Province, Yunnan Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Zhejiang Province, and Anhui Province) for more than six months were selected as the survey subjects. Blood samples were collected, serum iodine was tested, and the percentile method was used to establish a reference interval for serum iodine of pregnant women with normal thyroid function. Meanwhile, serum levels of free thyroxine, thyroid stimulating hormone, thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were tested, and logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between serum iodine and thyroid disease risk.Results:A total of 1 409 pregnant women from 6 provinces were investigated, including 1 087 with normal thyroid function and 322 with abnormal thyroid function. The median serum iodine level of pregnant women with normal thyroid function was 79.74 μg/L, and the preliminary reference interval for serum iodine was 47.57 - 128.96 μg/L. When serum iodine levels were lower (< 47.57 μg/L), pregnant women had a significantly increased risk of developing TgAb positivity, TPOAb positivity, hypothyroxinemia, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune thyroiditis ( OR = 4.44, 2.91, 3.41, 41.67, 23.43, P < 0.05). When serum iodine levels were high (> 128.96 μg/L), pregnant women had a significantly increased risk of developing hyperthyroidism ( OR = 9.91, P = 0.001). Conclusions:The reference interval for serum iodine of pregnant women with normal thyroid function is successfully established. Low serum iodine levels are associated with an increased risk of TgAb positivity, TPOAb positivity, hypothyroxinemia, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune thyroiditis, while high serum iodine levels are associated with an increased risk of hyperthyroidism.
