ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic value of coagulation function indicators and proteinuria in preeclampsia and its severity assessment. MethodsA total of 239 pregnant women who visited from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected as research subjects. They were divided into healthy control group （n=50）， non-gestational hypertension group （n=39）， and gestational hypertension group （n=150） based on clinical diagnosis. The gestational hypertension group was further subdivided into three subgroups： simple hypertension group （n=50）， mild preeclampsia group （n=50）， and severe preeclampsia group （n=50）. The study compared differences in plasma protein S （PS）， plasma protein C （PC）， fibrin degradation products （FDP）， fibrin monomer （FM）， and proteinuria levels among different groups. The correlation between proteinuria and coagulation function indicators in patients with gestational hypertension was analyzed， and ROC curves were used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of coagulation indicators and proteinuria for gestational hypertension and different stages of preeclampsia. ResultsThe gestational hypertension group showed lower PS and PC values compared to the non-gestational hypertension group and healthy control group， while FDP， FM values， and proteinuria levels were higher than those in the non-gestational hypertension group and healthy control group （P<0.05）. Significant differences in coagulation indicators and proteinuria levels were observed among pregnant women with different degrees of gestational hypertension （P<0.05）. The AUC values for diagnosing gestational hypertension using PS， PC，FDP， FM， and proteinuria were 0.928， 0.957， 0.968， 0.948， and 0.932 respectively （P<0.000 1）. For diagnosing simple hypertension and mild preeclampsia， the AUC values were 0.875， 0.777， 0.830， 0.679， and 0.936 respectively （P<0.01）. For diagnosing mild and severe preeclampsia， the AUC values were 0.901， 0.776， 0.780， 0.807， and 0.848 respectively （P<0.000 1）. ConclusionCoagulation function indicators and proteinuria show significant differences between healthy pregnant women and those with gestational hypertension. PS， PC， FDP， FM， and proteinuria levels vary among pregnant women with different stages of preeclampsia. The aforementioned indicators exhibit certain diagnostic efficacy for gestational hypertension and preeclampsia.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite therapeutic advancements over recent decades, the prognosis for patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) remains poor. Approximately 2%-4% of mCRC cases exhibit human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification or overexpression, defining a distinct molecular subtype. This HER2-positive status is strongly associated with primary resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapies, which are the standard of care for patients with RAS wild-type tumors. Beyond its well-established role in breast and gastric cancers, HER2 has emerged as a pivotal biomarker and actionable therapeutic target in mCRC. However, selecting appropriate treatment strategies remains challenging due to patient heterogeneity and diverse molecular subtypes. This review systematically summarizes the molecular biology, diagnostic strategies, and advances in targeted therapies for HER2-positive mCRC. On the diagnostic front, we discuss the applications of immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), next-generation sequencing (NGS), and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection technologies. We highlight discrepancies in diagnostic criteria across key clinical trials—such as HERACLES, DESTINY, and MOUNTAINEER—underscoring the urgent need for standardized, CRC-specific definitions to ensure consistent patient selection and comparability of efficacy data across studies. Although NGS enables comprehensive genomic profiling, its cost-effectiveness relative to traditional methods must be carefully considered. Therapeutically, we summarize clinical trial data for HER2-directed agents, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as tucatinib and lapatinib, monoclonal antibodies like trastuzumab, bispecific antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) such as trastuzumab deruxtecan. We review dual-targeting strategies and note recent FDA approvals that represent significant milestones in second-line treatment. Additionally, we explore the potential of combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with HER2-targeted therapies to enhance antitumor immunity through mechanisms including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. ADCs enable precise delivery of cytotoxic payloads, reducing off-target toxicity while effectively inhibiting oncogenic pathways. A substantial portion of this review is dedicated to dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying primary and acquired resistance to HER2-targeted therapies—persistent challenges that limit clinical benefit. These mechanisms include reactivation of downstream signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MAPK, concurrent mutations in genes like KRAS or BRAF, and alterations in HER2 expression that compromise treatment efficacy. For instance, specific HER2 mutations (e.g., L755S) can reduce drug binding affinity, while ctDNA monitoring facilitates early detection of emerging resistance clones during disease progression, thereby enabling timely therapeutic adjustments. Tumor heterogeneity and dynamic interactions with the microenvironment further complicate resistance patterns observed in clinical practice. HER2-targeted therapy represents a new frontier in precision oncology for mCRC, offering renewed hope for improving patient outcomes. Realizing this potential will require continued optimization of diagnostic algorithms and treatment workflows. Future efforts must focus on overcoming resistance, validating liquid biopsy approaches for dynamic monitoring, and establishing unified clinical guidelines. HER2 has become an essential biomarker for stratifying mCRC patients beyond traditional RAS and BRAF status, underscoring the shift from empiric treatment to biomarker-driven precision medicine. International, multidisciplinary collaboration will be critical to validate emerging biomarkers and refine treatment algorithms globally.

Objective:To review the literature on surrogate decision making in stroke patients, and to clarify the application status of proxy decision making in stroke patients.Methods:Using the scope review guide as the methodological framework, studies on the application of surrogate decision in stroke patients, PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine databases were searched from the database inception to January 12, 2024.Results:A total of 20 articles were included, including 12 cross-sectional studies, 6 qualitative studies, 1 cohort study, and 1 case report. At present, surrogate decision was mainly used in brain surgery, tube placement and comfort care. The agent had a complicated mood when making a decision and self-doubt after making a decision. Agency decision making was susceptible to demographic factors, disease-related factors, cultural factors, emotional and psychological factors and other factors. Although the outcomes of most proxy decisions were in line with patient preferences, there was a difference in the estimates of prognosis between agents and medical staff.Conclusions:Proxy decision making is widely used in the field of stroke, but the psychological burden of agents is heavy. Developing advance care planning for stroke patients and developing decision aids may help agents make the best decision.
