From the natural-philosophical model of medicine in ancient Greece to the modern bio-psycho-social par-adigm,the evolution of medical models has always been shaped by philosophy.In classical antiquity,medicine and philosophy were closely intertwined;the natural-philosophical model,exemplified by Hippocrates,emphasized the human body as an integrated whole.During the Renaissance,the rise of experimental science challenged traditional philosophical systems and pushed medicine toward empirical investigation.In the late twentieth century,the bio-psycho-social model emerged to address the limitations of the purely biomedical approach.In the twenty-first centu-ry,the advent of artificial intelligence is driving a new transformation in medicine and continually prompting reflec-tion on the future direction of medical models and their underlying philosophical significance.

The global incidence rate of cancer is increasing yearly,and chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal mucosal injury has become a crucial factor affecting patients'therapeutic prognosis;however,there is currently a lack of effective therapeutic drugs to address this issue.There is thus an urgent need to establish more ideal animal models of chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal mucosal injury,to support the exploration of its pathogenesis and the development of therapeutic drugs.This review considered relevant literature published during the period from 2019 to 2024,to provide a comprehensive summary and analysis from several perspectives,including the selection of experimental animals,chemotherapeutic drugs and modeling method,evaluation indicators,and practical applications.Furthermore,we highlight several existing issues with current models,including the lack of standardized modeling method,insufficient research on models with a tumor background,and inadequate exploration of novel cell death mechanisms.This collation of the literature also revealed the gradual emergence of traditional Chinese medicine as a research hotspot,with potential for the treatment of gastrointestinal mucosal injury.Further studies of effective medicines are warranted to identify interventional strategies for chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal mucosal injury.

A 66-year-old female patient with lung adenocarcinoma was treated with crizotinib [the first-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors] 250 mg twice daily. Prior to treatment, the patient's liver and kidney functions were normal. One month after treatment, her serum creatinine (Scr) was 85 μmol/L, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 115 U/L. After discontinuing crizotinib for 10 days, both Scr and ALT returned to normal. One month later, the patient underwent a right lower lobectomy. Crizotinib was restarted postoperatively, and she developed symptoms of lower limb edema and poor appetite. After more than 3 months of treatment, her Scr increased to 129 μmol/L, ALT was 96 U/L, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was 83 U/L. Crizotinib was then switched to alectinib (the second-generation ALK inhibitors) 600 mg orally twice daily, and the patient's gastrointestinal symptoms and liver function were rapidly improved. However, her Scr continued to increase gradually (140-150 μmol/L). Renal biopsy pathology indicated IgA nephropathy and acute tubular injury. After 4 months of alectinib treatment, Scr was 174 μmol/L, and the drug was promptly discontinued. One month after discontinuation, Scr decreased to 125 μmol/L. Due to tumor progression, the patient restarted alectinib at a reduced dose (300 mg twice daily). Three months later, Scr increased to 177 μmol/L. Subsequently, alectinib was replaced with lorlatinib (the third-generation ALK inhibitors) 100 mg once daily due to tumor progression. After 6 months of treatment, the tumor condition was controlled, and Scr decreased to 124 μmol/L.

HDAC7, a member of class IIa HDACs, plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor, immune, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, rendering it a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, due to the high similarity in the enzyme active sites of class IIa HDACs, inhibitors encounter challenges in discerning differences among them. Furthermore, the substitution of key residue in the active pocket of class IIa HDACs renders them pseudo-enzymes, leading to a limited impact of enzymatic inhibitors on their function. In this study, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology was employed to develop HDAC7 drugs. We developed an exceedingly selective HDAC7 PROTAC degrader B14 which showcased superior inhibitory effects on cell proliferation compared to TMP269 in various diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Subsequent investigations unveiled that B14 disrupts BCL6 forming a transcriptional inhibition complex by degrading HDAC7, thereby exerting proliferative inhibition in DLBCL. Our study broadened the understanding of the non-enzymatic functions of HDAC7 and underscored the importance of HDAC7 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, particularly in DLBCL and AML.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective To develop a self-assessment scale of home volume management for patients with chronic heart failure(CHF),and to test its reliability and validity.Methods With the self-care theory as the theoretical framework,the initial scale was developed through literature analysis,qualitative interview and expert consultation.A questionnaire survey was conducted on 598 patients with CHF who were treated or reviewed in a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou from September 2022 to January 2023 to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results The exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors with the cumulative variance contribution rate of 61.268%.The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the main evaluation indicators were all within the acceptable range of the judgment standard.The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.853 to 1.000;the scale-level content validity index/average was 0.951.The Cronbach's a coefficient,half reliability and retest reliability of the overall scale were 0.930,0.723 and 0.867,respectively.Conclusion The self-rating scale of home volume management for CHF patients has good reliability and validity,and it can effectively assess the level of home volume management for CHF patients.
