OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab versus secukinumab in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 141 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanyang Medical College from January 2024 to April 2025. According to the treatment regimen，the patients were divided into tildrakizumab g roup （ n ＝61） and secukinumab group （ n ＝80）. The PASI 75，PASI 90，and PASI 100 response rates， the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index （PASI） and Dermatology Life Quality Index （DLQI） scores， skin barrier function （sebum content and stratum corneum water content）， inflammatory factor levels [interleukin-17 （IL-17）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and IL-23 ] before and after treatment， and the incidence of adverse drug reactions during treatment were compared between the two groups. RESULTS After 12 weeks of treatment， the PASI 75， PASI 90， and PASI 100 response rates in the tildrakizumab group were significantly higher than those in the secukinumab group （ P ＜0.05）. After treatment， PASI and DLQI scores as well as serum levels of IL-17， TNF-α， and IL-23 in both groups were significantly reduced compared to before treatment in the same group； sebum content and stratum corneum water content were significantly increased compared to before treatment in the same group （ P ＜0.05）； the tildrakizumab group showed better results than the secukinumab group （ P ＜0.05）. The overall incidence of adverse drug reactions was also significantly lower in the tildrakizumab group compared with the secukinumab group （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compared with secukinumab， tildrakizumab demonstrates superior efficacy in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis， providing improved symptom relief， enhanced skin barrier function， reduced levels of inflammatory factors， and higher safety.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion on quality of life and immune function in non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） patients undergoing chemotherapy. MethodsSeventy NSCLC patients with qi deficiency and phlegm stasis syndrome were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group， with 35 cases in each group. The control group received chemotherapy combined with routine symptomatic treatment， while the intervention group additionally received heat-sensitive moxibustion since the first day of chemotherapy. Acupoints included Dazhui （GV14）， bilateral Feishu （BL13）， Zhongwan （CV12）， Qihai （CV6）， and Guanyuan （CV4）. The site exhibiting the strongest heat-sensitization response was selected for moxibustion. Treatment was administered for 45 minutes per session， three times weekly for three consecutive weeks， totaling nine sessions. Before and after treatment， quality of life was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire （EORTC QLQ-C30）， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores were evaluated. Peripheral blood levels of natural killer （NK） cells and T-lymphocyte subsets including CD3⁺， CD4⁺， and CD8⁺， and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio were measured. Levels of programmed cell death protein-1 （PD-1）， including PD-1⁺CD4⁺ and PD-1⁺CD8⁺ cells， were also assessed. Liver and renal function were monitored before and after treatment， and adverse events were recorded. ResultsIn the intervention group， 1 participant withdrew and 1 was excluded， while in the control group， 2 participants withdrew. Ultimately， 33 participants in each group were included in the final analysis. The intervention group showed significant improvements in physical， role， emotional， cognitive， and social functioning， as well as global health status after treatment， while scores for fatigue， nausea and vomiting， dyspnea， appetite loss， diarrhea， and TCM syndrome scale were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. Moreover， the intervention group demonstrated higher scores in physical functioning， role functioning， and global health status， as well as lower scores for fatigue， nausea and vomiting， dyspnea， appetite loss， diarrhea， and the TCM syndrome scale than the control group （P＜0.05）. After treatment， the levels of peripheral NK cells and PD-1⁺CD8⁺ T cells in the intervention group increased significantly； furthermore， the intervention group exhibited higher peripheral NK cell levels and lower PD-1⁺CD8⁺ T cell levels than the control group （P＜0.05）. No significant differences were found in liver or renal function between the two groups （P＞0.05）. In addition， no adverse events such as burns or moxibustion-induced syncope occurred during the study. ConclusionHeat-sensitive moxibustion as an adjunctive therapy may enhance immune function， alleviate clinical symptoms， and improve quality of life， while demonstrating a favorable safety profile in NSCLC patients with qi deficiency and phlegm stasis.

With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of plasma heparin-binding protein(HBP)in the bloodstream infection of tumor patients.Methods The tumor patients treated at Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from Janu-ary 2023 to December 2023 were selected and further divided into the following three groups:124 patients with positive blood cultures(bloodstream infection group),95 with negative blood cultures but positive cultures from other body fluids(culture-positive group),and 100 with negative bacterial cultures(culture-negative group).The levels of HBP,procalcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin 6(IL-6),white blood cell(WBC),and neutrophil(NE)in the three groups were detected.The level differences of each indicator among three groups were compared.The differences in the expression levels of HBP in the bloodstream infection group with different pathogens such as Gram-negative bacteria,Gram-positive bacteria,and fungi were also compared.The Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each indicator for the risk of bloodstream infection.The receiver operating char-acteristics(ROC)curve was used to assess the diagnostic value of each indicator alone and in combination for the bloodstream infection of tumor patients.Results The expression level of HBP in the bloodstream infection group(32.14[14.01,110.40]ng/mL)was sig-nificantly higher than that in the culture-positive group(23.00[5.90,54.87]ng/mL,t=5.39,P＜0.05),and both of them were sig-nificantly higher than that in the culture-negative group(6.80[5.90,16.05]ng/mL,Z=47.248,P＜0.05).HBP had a certain clini-cal predictive value for the occurrence of bloodstream infection in tumor patients(OR=1.017,95％CI:1.008～1.027,P＜0.001).In addition,the levels of HBP in the Gram-negative bacterial infection group(78.04[21.60,157.20]ng/mL)were significantly higher than that in the Gram-positive bacterial infection group(51.00[18.45,106.50]ng/mL,t=2.01,P＜0.05),and both of them were significantly higher than that in the fungal infection group(5.90[5.90,14.17]ng/mL,Z=3.40,P＜0.05).The area under the ROC curve(AUCROC),sensitivity,and specificity of HBP for the diagnosis of bloodstream infection in tumor patients were 0.717,67.37％,and 67.26％,respectively,which were superior to those of PCT(0.700,77.17％,and 52.14％),CRP(0.667,63.16％,and 62.39％),and IL-6(0.629,60.47％,and 60.47％).The AUCROC,sensitivity,and specificity of the combination of HBP,CRP,PCT,and IL-6 were 0.739,70.24％,and 68.42％,respectively,which were better than those of each indicator alone.Conclusion The detection of HBP has high clinical application value in the diagnosis of bloodstream infections of tumor patients and may serve as a potential biomarker for the bloodstream infection of tumor patients.
