Malignant tumor is a serious and difficult disease threatening human health， which has a high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in improving the therapeutic effect of malignant tumors and alleviating adverse reactions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi deficiency and blood stasis are important pathogeneses in the development of malignant tumors， and the method of supplementing Qi and activating blood is an effective strategy for treating malignant tumors. Astragali Radix， sweet in taste and warm in nature， has effects of tonifying Qi and rising Yang， strengthening the exterior and reducing sweat， promoting fluid and nourishing blood. Curcumae Rhizoma， acrid and bitter in taste and warm in nature， has the effects of promoting Qi and breaking blood stasis， eliminating mass， and relieving pain. Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma， as the classic herb pair of invigorating Qi and activating blood， has a clear effect on inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. Studies have shown that Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma contains astragalus polysaccharide， astragaloside， calycosin， formononetin， curcumin， β-elemene， curcumenol， curcumenone， curcumendione， gemacrone， and other anti-tumor active ingredients. It can significantly inhibit the occurrence and development of liver cancer， colorectal cancer， gastric cancer， lung cancer， ovarian cancer， cervical cancer， breast cancer， and other cancers and has the advantages of superposition effect， synergistic complementarity， and increased dissolution compared with single herb and monomer of Chinese traditional herbs and has been widely valued in the field of TCM anti-cancer. Its anti-tumor mechanism includes inhibition of tumor cell proliferation， promotion of tumor cell apoptosis and autophagy， anti-invasion and metastasis， regulation of immune function， and enhancement of anti-tumor drug sensitivity. By combining Chinese and foreign literature， the compatibility effect and anti-tumor mechanism of Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma were summarized， and then scientific compatibility of these two herbs was expounded， in order to provide a useful reference for clinical application and future research of Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma.

Breast cancer is a common clinical gy-necological tumor.According to the 2022 global cancer data statistics,breast cancer ranks second in terms of incidence among newly diagnosed cancer cases worldwide.Modern medicine often adopts surgical operation,chemotherapy,and other meth-ods,which have certain efficacy but also many problems such as high drug resistance rates and sig-nificant adverse reactions.Chinese patent medi-cines exhibit extensive anticancer effects.The study found that Shenyi Capsule,Pingxiao Capsule,and Zhenqi Fuzheng Granules were widely used in the treatment of breast cancer,exerting therapeu-tic effects on breast cancer by inhibiting cell prolif-eration,invasion,and metastasis,suppressing an-giogenesis,reversing cellular drug resistance,and inhibiting precancerous lesions.Meanwhile,the oral administration of Chinese patent medicines in combination with other traditional Chinese medi-cine(TCM)compounds,TCM decoctions,or mod-ern medical treatments can improve patients' quali-ty of life and reduce adverse reactions.Currently,there are numerous studies on the treatment of breast cancer with Chinese patent medicines,but a systematic summary is lacking.Therefore,this study conducted a systematic review of the mecha-nisms of action and clinical applications of Chinese patent medicines as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer,aiming to provide guidance for clinical medi-cation.

Objective:To explore the CT and MRI features of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. From July 2007 to August 2023, the imaging findings of 23 patients with pathologically confirmed sinonasal RDD were retrospectively analyzed in the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University. Among 23 patients, there were nine males and 14 females with 44±16 years old. Imaging features including tumor location, the extent, density, signal, enhancement pattern of tumors, bone change, abnormal lesions in peripheral lymph nodes and other regions were recorded. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of lesions in patients performed diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) were measured.Results:For the 23 cases, totally 20 patients showed bilateral sinonasal involvement and three patients had unilateral lesions. Totally nine patients had lesions confined to the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and 14 patients had lesions with extrasinonasal invasion, including orbit (6 cases), nasolacrimal duct (9 cases), anterior skull base (3 cases), nasal dorsum subcutaneous tissue (2 cases) and hard palate (1 case). Soft tissue lesions on the posterior wall of the subglottic trachea were found in 2 cases and intracranial lesions were found in 1 case. Totally 10 patients were accompanied by lymph nodes enlargement. The lesions showed isodense on all 20 non-contrast enhanced CT images, and mild enhancement in three cases, moderate enhancement in seven cases and significant enhancement in seven cases on CT enhancement images. Bone changes were found in 19 of 20 patients on CT, showing mild bone destruction in five cases and bone destruction with hyperplasia in 14 cases. The lesions showed isointense on T 1WI in all 14 cases. The lesions were graded as isointense in nine cases, hypointense in four cases and hyperintense in one case on T 2WI. The lesions displayed moderate to obvious homogeneous enhancement on enhanced MRI. The lesions showed significant diffusion limitation and ADC value was (0.66±0.08)×10 -3 mm 2/s in 11 cases on DWI. Conclusions:The CT and MRI imaging characteristics of sinonasal RDD are diffuse masses on both sides of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, accompanied by bone hyperplasia. The lesions show isointense or hypointense on T 2WI, and may involve adjacent tissues and may be accompanied by lymph nodes enlargement in the retropharyngeal and neck.

Objective:To discuss the effect of knock down of gene of kinesin family member 3B(KIF3B),an important component of primary cilia(PC)of in mouse embryonic palatal mesenchymal on the autophagy level of cells(mEPMCs)cells,and to clarify its mechanism.Methods:The mEPMCs from gestational day 14.5 C57BL/6J mice cultured in vitro were collected and divided into control group(administered normal saline),empty lentivirus transfected cell group(sh-NC group)(administered lentivirus transfection),KIF3B knockdown group(sh-KIF3B group)(administered KIF3B gene knockdown),and KIF3B knockdown plus Smoothened receptor agonist(SAG)group(sh-KIF3B+SAG group)(administered KIF3B gene knockdown followed by SAG addition),based on whether the KIF3B gene was knocked down and whether the SAG was used to activate the sonic hedgehog(Shh)signaling pathway and its downstream coreceptor Smo,with 5 rats in each group.Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the morphology and the number of autophagosomes/autolysosomes in the mEPMCs in various groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and p62,and the Shh signaling pathway proteins Shh and Smo in the mEPMCs in various groups.Results:The transmission electron microscope observation results showed that compared with control group,the number of autophagosomes/autolysosomes in sh-KIF3B group was significantly increased(P<0.05);compared with sh-KIF3B group,the number of autophagosomes/autolysosomes in the mEPMCs in sh-KIF3B+SAG group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The Western blotting results showed that compared with control group,the Beclin-1 protein expression level in the mEPMCs in sh-KIF3B group was significantly increased(P<0.05),and the KIF3B,p62,Shh,and Smo protein expression levels were significantly decreased(P<0.01);compared with sh-KIF3B group,the Shh,Smo,and p62 protein expression levels in the mEPMCs in sh-KIF3B+SAG group were significantly increased(P<0.01),and the Beclin-1 protein expression level was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion:Knockdown of KIF3B gene can promote autophagy of the mEPMCs,and the mechanism may be related to its inhibition of the Shh signaling pathway.
