Abnormal activation of the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT） signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma （DLBCL）. In recent years， inhibitors targeting JAK2 and STAT3 have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates in DLBCL. This review summarizes the efficacy and safety profiles of JAK2 inhibitors （e.g.， ruxolitinib） and STAT3 inhibitors （direct small-molecule inhibitors， the antisense oligonucleotide， and proteolysis targeting chimeras， etc.） in preclinical models and clinical trials. Accumulating evidence indicates that JAK2 and STAT3 inhibitors exhibit antitumor activity and are generally well tolerated in a subset of DLBCL patients. Meanwhile， the development of novel drug delivery systems has significantly enhanced the stability， bioavailability， and targeting ability of the compounds. Furthermore， JAK2 and STAT3 inhibitors may exhibit synergistic effects when combined with other therapy strategies （such as combinations with B-cell receptor signaling pathway inhibitors， immunomodulators， or other targeted drugs）. However， current clinical applications are still in their early stages. Future research should concentrate on precision treatment strategies based on the genetic subtyping of DLBCL， and further refine the delivery systems for inhibitors as well as combination drug regimens to improve clinical outcomes.

Objective: To analyze the association between dietary diversity and cognitive function among the elderly using group-based trajectory model, so as to provide the basis for formulating dietary intervention strategies to prevent cognitive impairment. Methods: Based on the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) project, demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, psychological well-being, and activities of daily living of elderly individuals aged ≥65 years from 2008 to 2018 were collected. Dietary diversity was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire, with a score of <7 points defined as low dietary diversity. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). A group-based trajectory model was established based on cognitive function scores from 2008 to 2018 to analyze the trajectories of cognitive function change. The association between dietary diversity and cognitive function was analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 613 individuals were collected, with a median age was 72.00 (interquartile range, 10.00) years. There were 810 males (50.22%) and 803 females (49.78%). The group-based trajectory model analysis categorized the participants into three groups: the low-level normal group, the high-level normal group, and the slow-then-rapid decline group, comprising 796 (49.35%), 585 (36.27%), and 232 (14.38%) individuals, respectively. Among these groups, the numbers of individuals with low dietary diversity were 497 (62.44%), 311 (53.16%), and 166 (71.55%), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, psychological well-being, and activities of daily living, compared with the high-level normal group, low dietary diversity was statistically associated with cognitive function in the slow-then-rapid decline group (OR=1.622, 95%CI: 1.103-2.384). Conclusion Low dietary diversity may increase the risk of cognitive impairment among the elderly.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical efficacy of acupuncture with yin-yang regulation method versus local acupuncture in treating chronic low back pain (CLBP) in elderly patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH), and to evaluate the changes in the multifidus muscle before and after treatment using musculoskeletal ultrasound. METHODS: A total of 128 elderly patients with CLBP due to LDH were randomly assigned to an observation group (64 cases, 2 cases dropped out) and a control group (64 cases, 2 cases dropped out). The control group received local acupuncture at bilateral L₃-L₅ Jiaji points (EX-B2), Shenshu (BL23), Dachangshu (BL25), Weizhong (BL40), Yaoyangguan (GV3), and ashi points. The observation group received acupuncture with yin-yang regulation method, which included an abdominal protocol with Baihui (GV20), Zhongwan (CV12), Qihai (CV6), Guanyuan (CV4), bilateral Tianshu (ST25), and Dahe (KI12), etc., and a lumbar protocol with Baihui (GV20), Dazhui (GV14), Jizhong (GV6), Yaoyangguan (GV3), and ashi points, etc., alternated bilaterally. Both groups were treated once every other day, three times per week, for a total of 12 sessions. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry disability index (ODI) score, and the indexs of musculoskeletal ultrasound multifidus muscle (resting and functional thickness and Young's modulus values) were observed before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated in the two groups. RESULTS: After 1 and 4 weeks of treatment, both groups showed lower VAS scores compared to baseline (P<0.05), the VAS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.001). ODI scores in both groups were decreased after 1 and 4 weeks of treatment compared to baseline (P<0.05), with a further reduction at 4 weeks of treatment compared to 1 week of treatment (P<0.05); the observation group showed lower ODI score than the control group after 1 week of treatment (P<0.001). After treatment, both groups demonstrated increased resting and functional multifidus muscle thickness bilaterally compared to baseline (P<0.01), with an increased right-side thickness change rate (P<0.01), though no significant difference was observed between groups (P>0.05). Compared to baseline, after treatment, the observation group exhibited decreased Young's modulus values for bilateral resting and functional multifidus muscle (P<0.01), while the control group showed reductions only in bilateral resting and right-side functional Young's modulus values (P<0.01). After treatment, the bilateral functional Young's modulus values in the observation group were lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the bilateral resting and functional changes in Young's modulus values were greater in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.01). The overall effective rate was 93.5% (58/62) in the observation group, which was higher than 79.0% (49/62) in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Acupuncture with yin-yang regulation method effectively alleviates pain, improves functional disability, increases multifidus muscle thickness, and reduces Young's modulus values in elderly patients with CLBP due to LDH, which has superior therapeutic effect compared to local acupuncture.

Based on the theory of "three regions and sanjiao" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the acupuncture-moxibustion differentiation and treatment system is explored and constructed for spasm syndrome, so as to provide a clearer guiding framework for TCM treatment of spasm syndrome. This disorder is caused essentially by the invasion of pathogenic wind, and located in brain marrow. The key regions of illness cover five zang organs and five tissues, and the core pathogenesis is associated with wind disturbance in brain marrow. In differentiation, spasm syndrome refers to overall transmission (from the upper to the lower) and local transmission (from exterior to interior). This disorder can be classified into sanjiao spasm (heart-lung spasm of the upper jiao, liver-spleen spasm of the middle jiao, and liver-kidney spasm of the lower jiao) and three-region spasm (skin-vessel spasm of the upper region, tendon-muscle spasm of the middle region, and tendon-bone spasm of the lower region). Based on "three regions and sanjiao" theory of acupuncture and moxibustion, 7 "expelling-wind" points can be selected in terms of the etiology of this disease. Baihui (GV20)-toward-Taiyang (EX-HN5) needling is applied to regulate the brain marrow, focusing on the core location of illness; and regarding the key location of illness, the combination of back-shu and front-mu points and that of jing-well and xing-spring points are adopted to regulate five zang organs. The five needling techniques (half needling, leopard-spot needling, joint needling, Hegu needling and shu needling) are used to regulate five tissues.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between blood glucose trajectories within 7 days of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mortality in patients with sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). METHODS: Based on the MIMIC-IV database, sepsis-associated ARDS patients with daily blood glucose monitoring data within 7 days of ICU admission were selected. Blood glucose trajectories were analyzed using group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM), and the optimal number of groups was determined based on the minimum Akaike information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC), average posterior probability (AvePP), odds of correct classification (OCC), and proportion of group membership (Prop). Baseline characteristics including demographics, comorbidities, severity scores, vital signs, laboratory indicators within the first 24 hours of ICU admission, and treatments were collected. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to compare 28-day and 1-year survival across trajectory groups. Multivariate Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the associations between glucose trajectory groups and in-hospital mortality, ICU mortality. The incidence of hypoglycemia within 7 days in the ICU was analyzed among different groups. RESULTS: A total of 3 869 patients with sepsis-associated ARDS were included, with a median age of 63.52 (52.13, 73.54) years; 59.6% (2 304/3 869) were male. Based on glucose levels within 7 days, patients were categorized into three groups: persistent hyperglycemia group (glucose maintained at 10.6-13.1 mmol/L, n = 894), moderate glucose group (7.8-8.9 mmol/L, n = 1 452), and low-normal glucose group (6.1-7.0 mmol/L, n = 1 523). There were statistically significant differences in 28-day mortality and 1-year mortality among low-normal glucose group, moderate glucose group, and persistent hyperglycemia group [28-day mortality: 11.42% (174/1 523), 19.83% (288/1 452), 25.50% (228/894), χ ² = 82.545, P < 0.001; 1-year mortality: 23.31% (355/1 523), 33.75% (490/1 452), 39.49% (353/894), χ ² = 77.376, P < 0.001]. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that higher glucose trajectories were associated with significantly lower 28-day and 1-year cumulative survival rates (Log-rank test: χ ² were 83.221 and 85.022, both P < 0.001). There were statistically significant differences in in-hospital mortality and ICU mortality among the low-normal glucose group, moderate glucose group, and persistent hyperglycemia group [in-hospital mortality: 9.65% (147/1 523), 19.70% (286/1 452), 24.50% (219/894), χ ² = 102.020, P < 0.001; ICU mortality: 7.22% (110/1 523), 16.05% (233/1 452), 20.13% (180/894), χ ² = 93.050, P < 0.001]. Logistic regression confirmed that, using the persistent hyperglycemia group as the reference, the low-normal glucose group had significantly lower risks of in-hospital mortality and ICU mortality after multiple factor adjustment. Although the moderate glucose group showed a trend toward lower mortality, the differences were not statistically significant. Using the moderate glucose group as a reference, the low-normal glucose group had 43.1% lower in-hospital mortality [odds ratio (OR) = 0.569, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.445-0.726, P < 0.001] and 42.0% lower ICU mortality (OR = 0.580, 95%CI was 0.439-0.762, P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of hypoglycemia within 7 days of ICU admission among low-normal glucose group, moderate glucose group, and persistent hyperglycemia group [2.82% (43/1 523), 2.69% (39/1 452), 3.02% (27/894), χ ² = 0.226, P = 0.893]. CONCLUSIONS Blood glucose trajectories during ICU stay are closely associated with prognosis in patients with sepsis-associated ARDS. Persistent hyperglycemia (10.6-13.1 mmol/L) is linked to significantly higher short- and long-term mortality.

Emphasizing symptom efficacy is an important manifestation of the personalized diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. However， in current clinical practice of TCM， there are challenges such as diverse symptom expressions， difficulty in standardization， inconsistent evaluation standards for symptom efficacy， lack of universal quantitative methods， and complexity in collecting complete and accurate symptom information. These issues hinder the full and effective utilization of symptom information. Addressing the current research status and existing problems of symptom terminology standardization， quantification and grading of symptom efficacy， and collection of symptom information， this paper proposes methodological strategies for effectively recording and utilizing TCM symptom efficacy information in the era of big data. These strategies include collecting TCM symptom information based on patient reporting， standardizing the evaluation of TCM symptom efficacy from measurement scales and evaluation dimensions， integrating TCM symptom efficacy evaluation into clinical diagnosis and treatment processes， and utilizing artificial intelligence technology to acquire and process TCM symptom efficacy information. TCM symptom efficacy evaluation strategies based on patient perspectives and artificial intelligence technology will help fully explore the value of data elements， promote the objective demonstration of the specific efficacy of TCM， and facilitate the discovery of effective patterns.
