Based on the theory of "spleen functions as wei (卫) qi", this paper discusses the mechanism of "inflammation-metabolism-immunity" regulation in colorectal cancer cachexia and the therapeutic strategy. It is proposed that spleen deficiency with failure in transportation, leading to the maldistribution of wei (卫) qi and pathogenic constraint transforming into fire, is the source of inflammation. Spleen deficiency with failure in transportation, leading to the maldistribution of subtle essences and loss of nourishment to the physical body, is the root of metabolic depletion. Spleen deficiency with failure in transportation, leading to wei qi depletion and healthy qi decline, is the cause of immune impairment. Accordingly, a spleen-centered strategy of fortifying the spleen and restoring its defensive function is established. The specific therapeutic approaches include fortifying the spleen and boosting qi, restoring defensive function and securing the exterior to replenish the source of wei qi, with modified Sijunzi Decoction (四君子汤), fortifying the spleen and removing toxin, resolving phlegm and stasis to restrain exuberant internal toxin and constrained fire, with modified Baitouweng Decoction (白头翁汤), activating the spleen and harmonizing the stomach, promoting the transportation and distribution of food essence to correct nutritional and metabolic disorders, with modified Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction (香砂六君子汤), and fortifying the spleen and nourishing the kidney, replenishing primordial qi and consolidating the root to restore immune competence, with Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤) and Zuogui Beverage (左归饮) as the basic prescription.

Objective:To understand the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome in HIV-infected pregnant women and influencing factors in China and provide reference for the improvement of the health status of HIV-infected pregnant women and their newborns.Methods:Based on a mother-child cohort of HIV-infected pregnant women and children (PMTCT-MC-2005) established in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, this study enrolled pregnant women with or without HIV infection as study subjects from January 2017 to June 2023, a total of 1 646 pregnant women (558 HIV-infected and 1 088 HIV-uninfected) were included, and 34 cases with missing data were excluded. The χ2 test was used to analyze the difference in the incidence adverse pregnancy outcome between two groups, and used logistic regression model to identify the influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcome in HIV-infected pregnant women. Results:A total of 1 612 pregnant women were included in the study, in whom 541 were infected with HIV and 1 071 were not infected with HIV. The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome was 18.8% (303/1 612), the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome was 33.1% (179/541) in the HIV-infected pregnant women and 11.6% (124/1 071) in the pregnant women without HIV infection. The results of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcome were age <35 years at delivery (a OR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.43-0.95) compared with the age ≥35 years and the duration of antiviral treatment over 10 years (a OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.23-0.79) compared with less than one year. Conclusions:The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome in HIV-infected pregnant women was high in some regions of China during 2017-2023. It is necessary for HIV-infected women to get pregnancy at appropriate time based on antiretroviral treatment effect and strengthen self-care to reduce the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome.

Objective To study the relationship between cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and clinicopathological features and quality of life in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods The clinical and pathological data of 182 patients with advanced gastric cancer were collected, The CRF level and quality of life were assessed by the brief fatigue inventory (BFI), European Organization for Research on Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) life quality scale QLQ-C30 (V3.0). The correlations between CRF and clinicopathological features and quality of life were analyzed. Results One hundred twenty-two patients with advanced gastric cancer were associated with different degrees of fatigue. The CEF BFI score had correlation with the age(F=6.637,P=0.001),PS score(F=15.559,P=0.000),the World Health Organization(WHO) pathologic type (F=7.352, P=0.000). The CRF index of the 50-59 age group was higher than that of other age groups; the CRF BFI scores of PS score 1 and 2 were higher than that of 0 group; CRF BFI score of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma was significantly higher than that of gastric squamous cell carcinoma. The Pearson correlation analysis showed that the CRF BFI score was positively correlated with mood (r=0.423, P=0.008). There were significant differences in body function and mood (F=-16.254, F=-13.256, both P<0.05)and fatigue,pain and loss of appetite among 3 CRF groups(F=12.075,F=14.361,F=13.837, all P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the mean CRF BFI score between the three groups before and after chemotherapy(tSD=6.981,tPR=6.903,tPD=7.437,all P<0.05). Compared with pre-chemotherapy, the mean CRF BFI score of SD and PR group decreased after 3 months follow-up, score of PD group increased, the differences were statistically significant(t=2.371,t=6.912,t=18.237,all P<0.05).Conclusions The incidence of CRF in patients with advanced gastric cancer is very high,the degree of CRF has correlation with age, PS score and pathological type. Relieve symptoms such as fatigue, pain and loss of appetite and control adverse reactions could help to reduce the degree of CRF.

Objective · To investigate the role of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in regulating ocular neovascularization (NV). Methods · Expression of IL-10 was investigated in mice with oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) and transgenic mice with VEGF expression in photoreceptors by immunofluorescence,RT-PCR, and Western blotting. Mice deficient in IL-10 were used to test the effect of IL-10 in retinal, sub-retinal, and choroidal NV. Results · In OIR mice and transgenic mice with VEGF expression in photoreceptors, the staining intensity and mRNA expression of IL-10 were increased. Mice deficient in IL-10 showed a significant reduction in ischemia-induced retinal NV, and choroidal NV at rupture sites in Bruch's membrane. Mice lacking IL-10 showed reduced levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and suppression of ischemia-induced expression of VEGF and VEGF receptor 1. Macrophage was regulated and reduced in ischemic retina of mice with IL-10 deficiency. Conclusion · IL-10 stimulates ocular NV through modulation of HIF-1α and its target genes VEGF and VEGF receptor 1. IL-10 promotes ocular NV via macrophage response to retina ischemia.
