OBJECTIVES: To explore the efficacy of DSA-guided intrathecal drug delivery system combined with Zi Wu Liu Zhu Acupoint Therapy for management of cancer pain and provide reference for its standardized clinical application. Methods and. RESULTS: Recommendations were formulated based on literature review and expert group discussion, and consensus was reached following expert consultation. The consensus recommendations are comprehensive, covering the entire treatment procedures from preoperative assessment and preparation, surgical operation process, postoperative management and traditional Chinese medicine treatment to individualized treatment planning. The study results showed that the treatment plans combining traditional Chinese with Western medicine effectively alleviated cancer pain, reduced the use of opioid drugs, and significantly improved the quality of life and enhanced immune function of the patients. Postoperative follow-up suggested good treatment tolerance among the patients without serious complications. CONCLUSIONS The formulated consensus is comprehensive and can provide reference for clinicians to use DSA-guided intrathecal drug delivery system combined with Zi Wu Liu Zhu Acupoint Therapy. The combined treatment has a high clinical value with a good safety profile for management of cancer pain.

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis,pri-marily transmitted through respiratory droplets,and poses a significant global public health challenge.Despite the availability of vaccines and chemotherapy regimens,the emergence of drug resistance and high incidence rates continue to render the prevention and control situation severe.The intestinal mi-crobiota modulates host immunity through metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids,influencing macrophage function,T-cell differentiation,and inflammatory responses,thereby regulating tubercu-losis susceptibility,disease progression,and treatment responses.This review systematically summa-rized the role of intestinal microecology in immune regulation of tuberculosis and its potential applica-tion strategies,delved into the possible immune regulatory mechanisms,proposed that the interaction between intestinal microbiota and immune checkpoint inhibitors may serve as a warning for the clinical risk of tuberculosis reactivation,and analyzed the potential of intestinal microecology as a therapeutic target for tuberculosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells （BMSCs） co-cultured with bone marrow-derived M2 macrophages （M2-BMDMs）， named as BMSC^M2， on a rat model of liver cirrhosis induced by carbon tetrachloride （CCl₄）/2-acetaminofluorene （2-AAF）. MethodsRat BMDMs were isolated and polarized into M2 phenotype， and rat BMSCs were isolated and co-cultured with M2-BMDMs at the third generation to obtain BMSC^M2. The rats were given subcutaneous injection of CCl₄ for 6 weeks to establish a model of liver cirrhosis， and then they were randomly divided into model group （M group）， BMSC group， and BMSC^M2 group， with 6 rats in each group. A normal group （N group） with 6 rats was also established. Since week 7， the model rats were given 2-AAF by gavage in addition to the subcutaneous injection of CCl₄. Samples were collected at the end of week 10 to observe liver function， liver histopathology， and hydroxyproline （Hyp） content in liver tissue， as well as changes in the markers for hepatic stellate cells， hepatic progenitor cells， cholangiocytes， and hepatocytes. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the N group， the M group had significant increases in the activities of serum alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） （P<0.01）； compared with the M group， the BMSC and BMSC^M2 groups had significant reductions in ALT and AST （P<0.01）， and the BMSC^M2 group had significantly better activities than the BMSC group （P<0.05）. Compared with the N group， the M group had significant increases in Hyp content and the mRNA and protein expression levels of alpha-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） in the liver （P<0.01）； compared with the M group， the BMSC and BMSC^M2 groups had significant reductions in Hyp content and the expression of α-SMA （P<0.05）， and the BMSC^M2 group had a significantly lower level of α-SMA than the BMSC group （P<0.01）. Compared with the N group， the M group had significant increases in the mRNA expression levels of the hepatic progenitor cell markers EpCam and Sox9 and the cholangiocyte markers CK7 and CK19 （P<0.01） and significant reductions in the expression levels of the hepatocyte markers HNF-4α and Alb （P<0.01）； compared with the M group， the BMSC and BMSC^M2 groups had significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels of EpCam， Sox9， CK7， and CK19 （P<0.05） and significant increases in the mRNA expression levels of HNF-4α and Alb （P<0.05）， and compared with the BMSC group， the BMSC^M2 group had significant reductions in the mRNA expression levels of EpCam and CK19 （P<0.05） and significant increase in the expression level of HNF-4α （P<0.05）. ConclusionM2-BMDMs can enhance the therapeutic effect of BMSCs on CCl₄/2-AAF-induced liver cirrhosis in rats， which provides new ideas for further improving the therapeutic effect of BMSCs on liver cirrhosis.

Objective To investigate the impact of LncRNA FOXP4-AS1 regulating the EZH2/LATS2 axis on the proliferation and migration of bladder urothelial carcinoma(BUC)cells.Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database and real-time quantitative PCR were utilized to analyze the expression of FOXP4-AS1 and LATS2 mRNA in BUC tissues.Cell proliferation was observed using MTT experiments,and migration was checked using Transwell assays.Western blot assays were performed to determine the expression of LATS2 and H3K27me3 proteins.RNA immunoprecipitation(RIP)and chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP)assays were employed to verify the relationship between FOXP4-AS1,EZH2 and LATS2.Results Compared with normal bladder tissues,FOXP4-AS1 expression was increased in tumor tissues,while LATS2 mRNA expression was decreased(P<0.01).Moreover,FOXP4-AS1 expression was elevated in EJ,T24,BIU-87,and 5637 cell lines compared to SV-HUC-1(P<0.01).The inhibition of FOXP4-AS1 resulted in a significant decrease in the proliferation,migration,and expression of H3K27me3 protein in BUC cells,while concurrently upregulating the expression of LATS2 mRNA and protein.Conversely,the overexpression of FOXP4-AS1 yielded contrasting effects(P<0.05).RIP and ChIP assays revealed that FOXP4-AS1 could recruit EZH2 to the promoter region of LATS2,leading to an enrich-ment of H3K27me3 in this region.Interference with LATS2 or EZH2 expression partially reversed the effects of FOXP4-AS1 silencing or overexpression on the proliferation and migration of BUC cells,with concomitant effects on LATS2 expression.Conclusion FOXP4-AS1 demonstrates a notable increase in expression in BUC,leading to a suppression of LATS2 expression through the recruitment of EZH2 to the promoter region of LATS2.This regula-tory process ultimately influences the proliferation and migration of BUC cells.

Objective To investigate the current situation of emergency rescue patient retention in Jianyang People's Hospital and explore its causes.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 4 834 patients rescued in the emergency room of Jianyang People's Hospital in 2022.They were divided into retention group and non retention group based on whether the emergency detention time exceeded 6 hours.With detention as the dependent variable and factors that may lead to emergency detention as the independent variable,binary logistic regression method was applied to screen for factors related to emergency detention.Results The median retention time for emergency rescue patients was 4.84 hours,with 3 721 cases(76.98%)having a retention time≤6 hours and 1 113 cases(23.02%)having a retention time＞6 hours;the main influencing factors for emergency detention included age,visit time,visit season,admission method,involving two or more departments,diversion direction,and treatment compliance(P＜0.05).Conclusion Emergency patients aged≥41 years old,treated from 17:00 to＜08:00 the next day,visited in winter,admitted on their own,involving two or more departments,diverted to hospitalization,and with average or poor treatment compliance are prone to emergency detention.Therefore,the emergency department of the hospital should develop appropriate management measures based on the above factors to reduce emergency detention time.
