In situ tumor vaccine has become an important strategy in cancer immunotherapy owing to its ability to induce immune responses locally and overcome tumor heterogeneity. However, the abnormal structure and mechanical properties of the tumor’s physical microenvironment significantly limit the efficiency of vaccine delivery and immune efficacy. In this review, the key factors in the tumor’s physical microenvironment, including solid pressure, interstitial fluid pressure, matrix stiffness, and tissue microstructure, are systematically discussed. Their obstructive roles in immune cell infiltration, antigen presentation, and immune activation are analyzed. The potential of approaches, such as radiotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy, extracellular matrix degradation agents, nanomaterials, and hydrogel delivery platforms, in reshaping the tumor’s physical microenvironment is explored. This review aims to offer theoretical and practical guidance for optimizing in situ vaccine strategies through the regulation of the tumor’s physical microenvironment, ultimately advancing the precision and effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy.

Objective: To explore the factors affecting language development delay among children aged <3 years, so as to provide a basis for the prevention and early intervention of children's language development problems. Methods: Eighty-one children aged <3 years with language development delay who visited the children's language development clinic of Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January to December 2024 as the case group. Meanwhile, 118 children who underwent routine physical examinations at the children's health clinic during the same period, had normal language development were randomly selected as the control group. Data on children's basic information, parenting environment, and screen exposure were collected through questionnaire surveys. Language development delay was assessed using the Early Language Milestone Scale and the Gesell Developmental Diagnosis Scale. The factors for language development delay were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: The case group comprised 81 children, including 56 boys (69.14%) and 25 girls (30.86%), with a mean age of (23.14±4.84) months. The control group consisted of 118 children, including 81 boys (68.64%) and 37 girls (31.36%), with a mean age of (23.81±4.60) months. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that daily parental companionship time of ≥2 hours (OR=0.121, 95%CI: 0.040-0.367), attending childcare institutions (OR=0.103, 95%CI: 0.030-0.352), the average daily screen exposure time <1 hour (OR=0.614, 95%CI: 0.400-0.942), interactive parental accompaniment during screen exposure (OR=0.350, 95%CI: 0.157-0.779), and restricting screen exposure time (OR=0.162, 95%CI: 0.056-0.470) were associated with a lower risk of language development delay among children aged <3 years. Conclusion Daily paternal companionship of 2 hours or more, attending childcare institutions, daily screen exposure time of less than 1 hour, interactive parental companionship during screen time, and limiting screen exposure time can reduce the risk of language developmental delay among children aged under 3 years.

Objective:s To investigate the risk factors for delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP) in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) and to develop predictive models based on machine learning algorithms.Methods:Patients with ACOP hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2019 to October 2024 were included, with the occurrence of DEACMP as the outcome measure. The dataset was randomly divided into training and validation sets at a ratio of 7:3. Lasso regression was used to select features influencing the outcome in training sets. Nine machine learning models—including Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Support Vector Machine (SVM)—were constructed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted and the area under the curve (AUC) calculated for each model. Calibration curves were used to assess accuracy, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to evaluate clinical utility. The SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method was employed to visualize and interpret the best-performing model.Results:A total of 264 ACOP patients were included, of whom 54 (20.5%) developed DEACMP. Lasso regression identified eight key feature variables. Based on these factors, predictive models were constructed, showing good AUC stability across the nine machine learning models in both training (0.92–0.99) and validation sets (0.85–0.91). The RF model performed best, with an AUC of 0.99 in the training set and 0.90 in the validation set; its calibration curve and DCA curve also demonstrated excellent performance. SHAP analysis of the RF model revealed the importance ranking of factors from highest to lowest as follows: Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, duration of coma, age, history of coronary heart disease, CK-MB level, monocyte count, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and drinking history.Conclusions:The RF model exhibited the highest predictive performance for DEACMP occurrence in ACOP patients. The influencing factors, ranked in order of importance from highest to lowest, are as follows: GCS score, duration of coma, age, history of coronary heart disease, CK-MB level, monocyte count, DBP, and drinking history.

In recent years,enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)has been widely used in clinical practice,aiming to optimize perioperative management measures through evidence-based medicine and reduce the physical and mental trauma,stress reactions,and complications of surgical patients through multidisciplinary collaboration.This paper examined the clinical practice of ERAS from the perspective of medical humanities,reviewed its development and characteristics,and first pointed out that the concept of"minimal harm"laid the medical humanities foundation for ERAS.However,the concept of"minimum harm"faced ethical and realistic challenges in practice,such as differentiated cognition between benefits and non-harm,the tension between generalization and personalization,and the gap between rehabilitation continuity and family care.This paper led into the caregiving perspective of social sciences,proposed"optimal care"as a supplement to the medical humanities concept of ERAS,and introduced its connotation and practice.The combination of"minimal harm"and"optimal care"can provide theoretical guidance for medical humanistic care in ERAS and innovate the practical path of medical humanities into clinical practice.
