Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor, ranking fifth in incidence and mortality among all malignancies globally. The lack of early symptoms or the non-specific nature of symptoms means that most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage. The unique high heterogeneity of gastric cancer largely limits the effectiveness of traditional therapies, resulting in poor prognosis for patients. In recent years, immunotherapy has emerged as a new treatment option for advanced gastric cancer. The immunotherapy era has driven gastric cancer treatment towards more personalized and precise directions. There have been many new research advances in the fields of immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, and cancer vaccines. However, there are also many challenges and difficulties. It is hoped that this review will provide ideas and suggestions for the in-depth exploration of immunotherapy for gastric cancer.

Objective:To investigate the impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy on intra-treatment complications, postoperative complications,and short-term efficacy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. Clinical and pathological data were collected from 103 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent neoadjuvant therapy and subsequent surgical treatment at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Affiliated Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology,between January 2021 and December 2024. Among the patients,70 were male and 33 were female;the age was (58±10)years(range: 29 to 79 years). Patients were divided into two groups based on the neoadjuvant treatment regimen: the chemotherapy-alone group (56 patients) and the immunotherapy plus chemotherapy group(47 patients). There was no statistical significance in the differences of age, gender distribution, tumor location and abdominal surgery history between the two groups (all P>0.05). Comparisons between the two groups were performed using Welch′s t-test, χ 2 test or Fisher′s exact probability test,respectively. Results:No statistically significant differences were observed in the incidence of adverse events during neoadjuvant therapy between the two groups (44.7%(21/47) vs. 60.7% (34/56), P>0.05). There were also no statistically significant differences in R0 resection rates (97.9%(46/47) vs. 91.1%(51/56)) and hospitalization costs for surgery((91 759±24 572) yuan vs. (96 873±17 367) yuan) between the two groups (both P>0.05). Additionally,the overall postoperative complication rates between the two groups were not significantly different (29.8%(14/47) vs. 26.8%(15/56) , χ2=0.114， P>0.05).In terms of short-term efficacy,the proportion of responders(tumor regression grade 0 and 1) was significantly higher in the immunotherapy plus chemotherapy group compared to the chemotherapy-alone group (36.2%(17/47) vs. 14.3%(8/56), χ 2=6.658, P=0.010). Conclusions:Neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy does not increase the incidence of adverse events,surgical resection difficulty,or postoperative complications compared to chemotherapy alone. In terms of short-term efficacy,the addition of immunotherapy shows better performance in tumor regression grade compared to chemotherapy alone.

Cardiac surgery patients often present with multiple comorbidities,the risk of periop-erative complications and the complexity of postoperative rehabilitation have significantly increased,posing higher demands on comprehensive perioperative management.Preoperative exercise pre-reha-bilitation,as a multidisciplinary collaborative intervention strategy,has been demonstrated to signifi-cantly improve the clinical prognosis of patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery by enhancing their cardiopulmonary function,muscle strength,and overall physiological functional reserve,thereby in-creasing the body's tolerance to surgical stress.Although phase-specific research achievements have been made domestically and internationally in the field of exercise pre-rehabilitation,its standardized implementation and clinical translation on a global scale still face numerous obstacles,necessitating systematic review and in-depth exploration.Therefore,this study aimed to conduct a systematic re-view of the intervention protocols,clinical efficacy,safety,and feasibility of preoperative exercise pre-rehabilitation in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery,with the goal of providing theoretical evidence and practical references for optimizing perioperative management pathways and promoting the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery concepts.

Aim To investigate the role of cholesterol in the regulation of lipid raft and the function of platelets.Methods Using in vitro incubation of methyl β-cyclodextrin(MβCD)and in vivo elevation of peripheral blood total cho-lesterol levels to remove and load platelet cholesterol,respectively.Cholera toxin B staining combined with flow cytometry was used to detect platelet lipid raft content,fluorescence antibody staining combined with flow cytometry was used to detect the expression levels of P-selectin and activated integrin α Ⅱ bβ3,annexin Ⅴ labeling combined with flow cytometry was used to detect the level of phospholipid efflux,in vitro experimental system and rat tail bleeding experiment were used to detect platelet aggregation ability.Results The content of lipid raft on B lymphocytes decreased with the removal of cholesterol,while in vitro incubation of MβCD to remove platelet cholesterol significantly increased its lipid raft level(P＜0.05).Consistent with this,in vivo cholesterol loading increased the lipid raft content of B lymphocytes but decreased the lipid raft content of platelets(P＜0.05).The increase in lipid raft after removing cholesterol was not conducive to platelet activation and aggregation function.In vivo cholesterol loading downregulated platelet lipid raft content(P＜0.05),enhanced its ability to respond to low concentration stimulant for activation aggregation and coagulation,and this enhancing effect disappeared after cholesterol removal.Conclusion Platelet cholesterol is a key regulator of platelet lipid raft content and platelet function,which can negatively regulate lipid raft,promote platelet activation,and enhance their coagulation function.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of domestic and imported hemostatic clips in preventing delayed post-polypectomy bleeding (DPPB) after endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps ≥ 10 mm.Methods:Clinical data of 789 patients who underwent endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps (polyp diameter ≥10 mm) in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2018 to December 2019 were collected. The patients were divided into DPPB group ( n=15) and non-DPPB group ( n=774). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influential factors for DPPB. The patients using one type of hemostatic clip were divided into the domestic hemostatic clip group ( n=499) and the imported hemostatic clip group ( n=208). The efficacy of hemostatic clips in preventing DPPB in the two groups was compared. Results:Among the 789 patients undergoing endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps, 1.9% (15/789) suffered from DPPB. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pedunculated polyp was an independent risk factor for DPPB ( OR=6.621, 95% CI: 2.278-19.241, P=0.001), and closure of mucosal defect was an independent protective factor for DPPB ( OR=0.169,95% CI: 0.050-0.570, P=0.004). Regardless of physician experience, there was no significant difference between the domestic and imported hemostatic clip group in preventing DPPB after endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps ≥10 mm [experienced physicians: 1.8% (7/385) VS 0.6% (1/175), χ2=1.314, P=0.445; common physicians: 2.6% (3/114) VS 3.0% (1/33), χ2=0.010, P>0.999]. The domestic hemostatic clip group paid for less medical expenses than the imported hemostatic clip group (experienced physicians: 1 433.51±889.02 yuan VS 3 033.97±1 686.87 yuan, t<0.001 , P<0.001; common physicians: 1 181.58±815.29 yuan VS 3 303.46±1 690.43 yuan, t<0.001 ,P<0.001). Conclusion:Pedunculated polyp is an independent risk factor for DPPB after endoscopic resection of colorectal polyp larger than 10 mm, and clipping can significantly reduce the risk for DPPB. There is no significant difference in the prevention of DPPB between domestic and imported clips, but domestic clips compared with imported clips yield less medical burden, which are suitable for promotion to primary hospitals and major clinical centers.

Background::Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage for pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) has become the first-line treatment with quicker recovery and more minor injury compared with surgery and percutaneous drainage. The efficacy of stents implantation and drainage for different PFCs remains controversial, especially lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS). This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of LAMS drainage for pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC) and walled-off necrosis (WON).Methods::A meta-analysis was performed for LAMS drainage for WON and PPC by systematically searching PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases from January 2010 to January 2020. From 2017 to 2019, 12 patients who were treated with LAMS drainage for PFCs in our medical center were also reviewed and included in this study.Results::Combining 11 copies of documents with the data from our medical center, a total of 585 patients with PFCs were enrolled in this meta-analysis, including 343 patients with WON and 242 with PPC. The technical success rate in WON is not significantly different from that of PPC ( P = 0.08 > 0.05). The clinical success of LAMS placement was achieved in 99% vs 89% in PPC and WON, respectively (RR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.86-0.98, P = 0.01 < 0.05). The further intervention of direct endoscopic necrosectomy was required by 60% of patients in WON group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events, including infection, bleeding, stent migration and stent occlusion, after LAMS placement between WON and PPC. Conclusions::Endoscopic ultrasound-guided LAMS for PFCs are feasible, effective with preferable technical and clinical success rates. The clinical effect of LAMS on PPC is slightly better than that of WON, but its adverse reactions still need to be verified in a large-sample prospective study.
