Andrological diseases have become an important public health problem threatening men's health worldwide, which significantly affects the quality of life of patients and brings a heavy disease burden. Western medicine often faces the dilemma of obvious side effects and limited efficacy. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of andrological diseases and has accumulated rich clinical experience. Epimedii Folium, as a traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening kidney and Yang, exerts a key therapeutic effect on andrology diseases through multi-component synergy, multi-target regulation, and multi-pathway intervention. Recent studies have found that the main active components of Epimedii Folium, such as icariin, icariside, and icaritin, are the key material basis for the treatment of andrological diseases. The active components of Epimedii Folium can play a role in common andrological diseases such as erectile dysfunction, male infertility, and prostate cancer by regulating the activity of the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO/cGMP) pathway, participating in oxidative stress response, regulating the secretion of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis hormones, improving spermatogenic dysfunction, and inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells. However, the systematic action network and molecular mechanisms of the active components of Epimedii Folium have not been fully elucidated, thereby limiting its potential for clinical translation and application. In the future, it is necessary to combine cutting-edge technologies such as metabolomics, single-cell sequencing, and targeted nanoscale drug delivery systems, strengthening the research on the compatibility rules of active components and organ-specific delivery, providing a scientific basis for the development of innovative andrology traditional Chinese medicine formulas with international competitiveness, and promoting the innovation and breakthrough of andrology disease treatment modes.

There are differences and inconsistencies to some degree in the radioactive contamination control level of personnel′s body surface availiable in many national standards, thus puzzling the users. Therefore, it is proposed to compare the applicable scope, conditions and differences between relevant national standards, and combine with similar clinical nuclear medicine standards of radiological protection content to presevent recommendations on the contamination control level that should be correctly applied in an event of nuclear and radiological emergency. Based on the discussion of similar standards, the contaminated personnel with α of 0.04-10 Bq/cm 2 and β of 0.4-100 Bq/cm 2 are advised to be treated in the institutions with higher than secondary medical insititution. Both α econtamination control levels less than 0.04 Bq/cm 2 and β levels less than 0.4 Bq/cm 2 could be achivable, if fully decontaminated.

Surgery,radiotherapy and chemotherapy are three traditional treatments for malignant tumors.With the development of medicine,immunotherapy has been gradually adopted as an emerging therapy of malignancies.Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that the combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy can induce the abscopal effect and improve the prognosis of patients.Compared with the conventional radiotherapy,stereotactic radiotherapy has a larger single dose and higher accuracy,which is more likely to induce the bystander effect and anti-tumor response.The combination of stereotactic radiotherapy and immunotherapy has been proven to be a more promising therapy in certain clinical trials.However,not all types of tumors can benefit from such combined therapy in clinical practice.The optimal dose,fraction pattern and lesion of radiotherapy,immune enhancement and safety remain to be further clarified.In this article,the research progress,related controversies and future research direction of stereotactic radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy for malignancies were reviewed.

Objective To investigate the perioperative complications and therapeutic effects of balloon-assisted coiling (BAC) and stent-assisted coiling (SAC) in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms in the acute phase. Methods Totally 91 patients with 91 intracranial ruptured aneurysms were treated with BAC or SAC in our hospital between January 2014 and December 2016. Among them, 37 patients were treated with BAC and 54 patients with SAC respectively. Of the two groups, the position distribution and shape of aneurysms, and the complications after procedures and the therapeutic effects were summarized and evaluated retrospectively using chi-square test. Results The width of the aneurysm neck was narrower in the BAC-treated group compared to the SAC-treated group (3.31±1.63 mm vs. 4.35±2.10 mm, P=0.01). The aneurysm body/neck ratio (B/N) was lower in the BAC-treated group than in the SAC-treated group (1.64 ± 0.46 vs. 1.35±0.66, P=0.025). The recurrence rate was higher in the BAC-treated group than that in the SAC-treated group (18.9% vs. 0.9%, P=0.005). There was no statistical difference in perioperative complication in both the BAC-treated group and SAC-treated group. However, 2 patients died due to the relative postoperative intracranial bleeding in the SAC-treated group. Better outcomes (Modified Rankin Score, mRS, 0-2) were achieved in the BAC-treated group compared to the SAC-treated group (94.6% vs. 88.9%, P=0.028) at the follow-up visit. Conclusions These findings suggested that there is no difference between the BAC-treated group and the SAC-treated group in the risk of complication. BAC can achieve a better prognosis,but it is more prone to relapse. The SAC method was more appropriate for wider neck aneurysms. It was also an option to coiling the aneurysm in BAC in acute phase firstly, followed by additional treatment in SAC during the follow-up period.
