Aim To observe the effects of Wenfei Jiangzhuo formula(WFJZF)on rats with vascular de-mentia and investigate its possible mechanism of ac-tion.Methods Thirty-six healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group,model group,donepezil group,and low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups of Wenfei Jiangzhuo formula,with six rats per group.Except for the sham group,the other groups were prepared as VaD models,and each group was gavaged with the corresponding drugs after suc-cessful modeling,and tests were performed after three weeks of treatment.Behavioral,hippocampal CA1 area morphology,neural dendrites and mitochondrial chan-ges were observed in all groups of rats,and phospho-glycerate mutase 5(PGAM5),dynamics-related pro-teins1(Drp1),opticatrophyprotein-1(OPA1),and other proteins were detected in each group.Results Compared with the sham group,rats in the model group and each intervention group had prolonged es-cape latency(P＜0.05),a shorter number of travers-als across the platforms(P＜0.05),a sparse morphol-ogy of hippocampal neurons,a reduction in the number of secondary dendritic spines,and a rupture of the out-er membrane of the mitochondria;the expression of the PGAM5 and Drp1 proteins in hippocampal tissues was elevated(P＜0.05),and the expression of the OPA1 and Mfn1/2 protein expression decreased(P＜0.05);compared with the model group,donepezil group and Wenfei Jiangzhuo formula high-dose group of rats had shorter evasion latency(P＜0.05),increased number of times to traverse the platform(P＜0.05),increased number of hippocampal neurons,tightly packed,more secondary dendritic structures,and reduced mitochon-drial damage;the expression of PGAM5 and Drp1 pro-teins was reduced(P＜0.05),and the expression of OPA1 and Mfn1/2 proteins was elevated(P＜0.05).Conclusions Wenfei Jiangzhuo formula can regulate the PGAM5-Drp1 signaling axis to improve the balance of mitochondrial homeostasis,thus improving the cog-nitive condition of the brain and exerting cerebroprotec-tive effects.

Objective:To observe the genetic variation of SH2B3 in patients with myeloid neoplasms.Methods:The results of targeted DNA sequencing associated with myeloid neoplasms in the Department of Hematology,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University from November 2017 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and the patients with SH2B3 gene mutations were identified.The demographic and clinical data of these patients were collected,and characteristics of SH2B3 gene mutation,co-mutated genes and their correlations with diseases were analyzed.Results:The sequencing results were obtained from 1 005 patients,in which 19 patients were detected with SH2B3 gene mutation,including 18 missense mutations(94.74％),1 nonsense mutation(5.26％),and 10 patients with co-mutated genes(52.63％).Variant allele frequency(VAF)ranged from 0.03 to 0.66.The highest frequency mutation was p.Ile568Thr(5/19,26.32％),with an average VAF of 0.49,involving 1 case of MDS/MPN-RS(with SF3B1 mutation),1 case of MDS-U(with SF3B1 mutation),1 case of aplastic anemia with PNH clone(with PIGA and KMT2A mutations),2 cases of MDS-MLD(1 case with SETBP1 mutation).The other mutations included p.Ala567Thr in 2 cases(10.53％),p.Arg566Trp,p.Glu533Lys,p.Met437Arg,p.Arg425Cys,p.Glu314Lys,p.Arg308*,p.Gln294Glu,p.Arg282Gln,p.Arg175Gln,p.Gly86Cys,p.His55Asn and p.Gln54Pro in 1 case each.Conclusion:A wide distribution of genetic mutation sites and low recurrence of SH2B3 is observed in myeloid neoplasms,among of them,p.Ile568Thr mutation is detected with a higher incidence and often coexists with characteristic mutations of other diseases.

Objective:To examine the application of a novel pedagogical approach multidimensional supportive psychological intervention(MSPI)in the clinical practice teaching of andrological nursing care.Methods:Using the Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),we assessed the psychology of 100 nursing interns about to enter clinical practice in the Department of Andrology from De-cember 2021 to December 2022.We equally randomized the subjects into an experimental and a control group,the former receiving MSPI and the latter trained on the conventional teaching model without any psychological support intervention.Results:Compared with the baseline,the HAMD scores were significantly decreased in the experimental group after intervention(12.4±2.1 vs 8.9±2.4,P＜0.01),but increased in the controls(13.1±1.8 vs 14.7±1.9,P＜0.01);the skill scores dramatically increased in the experimental group(82.6±4.7 vs 91.2±2.4,P＜0.01),but decreased in the control group after intervention(81.0±3.5 vs 80.4±2.7,P=0.28).Conclusion:MSPI can significantly enhance the learning enthusiasm of nursing students in a short period,re-duce their psychological stress and improve teaching outcomes.This approach,combining psychology with teaching,can also strength-en the mental resilience of nursing students and better confront them with future professional challenges.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of a nomogram model constructed with clinical variables and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)radiomics features in prognosis of patients undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.Methods A total of 150 breast cancer patients who received chemotherapy in Qingdao Central Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled for the study.All patients underwent breast MRI examination before chemotherapy,and the optimal radiomics features were extracted from the tumor regions of interest on multiparametric MRI image which were manually outlined using segmentation software.After 2-year follow-up,the patients were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group according to whether there were disease recurrence,metastasis and death,and they were divided into training set(n=105)and test set(n=45)in a ratio of 7:3.The clinical data and multiparametric MRI radiomics features were collected,and the factors affecting the prognosis of breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses.Three models,namely clinical model,radiomics model,and clinical-multiparametric MRI radiomics-based nomogram model were constructed,and their predictive value in the prognosis of breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy was analyzed with receiver operating characteristic curves.Results Out of 150 cases of breast cancer treated with chemotherapy,52 cases were included in poor prognosis group,with 33 cases of recurrence and/or metastases and 19 cases of deaths.Logistic regression analysis identified TNM stage,estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor as clinical predictors for prognosis of breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy(P<0.05).There were 69 and 36 patients with good and poor prognoses in training set,and 29 and 16 patients with good and poor prognoses in test set.Through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm,16 radiomics features related to the prognosis of breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy were screened out from TIRM,DWI,and DCE-MRI sequences,and their radiomics scores were calculated.Compared with patients with poor prognosis,those with good prognosis in training set and test set had higher radiomics scores(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of radiomics model,clinical model,and nomogram model were 0.853,0.741,0.923 in training set(P<0.05),and 0.797,0.749,0.896 in test set(P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion Based on pre-chemotherapy radiomics scores,TNM stage,estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor are identified as independent predictors for prognosis of breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy,and the clinical-multiparametric MRI radiomics-based nomogram can effectively improve the predictive efficacy of prognosis in breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Alzheimer' s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder histologically characterized by the presence of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) found in and around pyramidal neurons in cortical tissue. Mounting evidence suggests regional increased iron load and dyshomeostasis have been associated with oxidative stress, oxidation of proteins and lipids, and cell death, and appears to be a risk factor for more rapid cognitive decline, thereby involved in multiple aspects of the pathophysiology of AD. Ferroptosis is a newly identified iron-dependent lipid peroxidation-driven cell death and emerging evidences have demonstrated the involvement of ferroptosis in the pathological process of AD. Notably, some novel compounds targeting ferroptosis can relieve AD-related pathological symptoms in AD cells and animal model and exhibit potential clinical benefits in AD patients. This review systematically summarizes the growing molecular and clinical evidence implicating ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of AD, and then reviews the application of ferroptosis inhibitors in mouse/cell models to provide valuable information for future treatment and prevention of AD.

Objective To investigate the clonal rearrangement characteristics and clinical application value of IGH gene in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(B-NHL).Methods Demographic and clinical data as well as IGH sequencing results of 55 patients with B-NHL who underwent next-generation sequencing(NGS)testing were collected,and IGH gene clonal rearrangement was detected.The characteristics of IGH gene clonal rearrangement,IGHV gene usage,and the clinical application value of NGS for IGH clonal rearrangement were analyzed.Results Among 55 patients with B-NHL and IGH clonal rearrangement,single dominant clones were mainly detected(85.45%,47/55);a few patients had two(12.73%,7/55)and three dominant clones(1.82%,1/55).In terms of preference for IGHV gene usage,IGHV3 gene had the highest frequency of access in B-NHL,followed by IGHV4.Among the IGHV subtypes,IGHV3-23 had the highest frequency in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma,and IGHV4-34 had the highest frequency in primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and not otherwise specified diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.Conclusion A preference for IGHV gene usage in clonal rearr-angement of IGH genes is noted in B-NHL patients with different pathological types.Using NGS to detect IGHclonal rearrangement can identify subclones and clonal correlations,and assist in disease diagnosis.

Objective To observe the effect of Anchang Formula(mainly composed of Agrimoniae Herba,Sanguisorbae Radix,Poria,Pulsatillae Radix,Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma,and fried Paeoniae Radix Alba)combined with Aluminum Phosphate Gel on inflammatory factors,immune function and intestinal flora in patients with radiation enteritis caused by radiotherapy for cervical cancer.Methods Seventy-eight patients with radiation enteritis caused by radiotherapy for cervical cancer were randomly divided into combined group(41 cases)and reference group(37 cases).The reference group was treated with Aluminum Phosphate Gel,and the combined group was treated with Anchang Formula combined with Aluminum Phosphate Gel.The course of treatment for the two groups lasted for 15 days.The changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,serum interleukin 2(IL-2),procalcitonin(PCT),T lymphocyte subsets CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+ levels and intestinal flora in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.After treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.Results(1)After 15 days of treatment,the total effective rate of the combined group was 90.24%(37/41),and that of the reference group was 70.27%(26/37).The intergroup comparison showed that the clinical efficacy of the combined group was significantly superior to that of the reference group(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the scores of TCM symptoms of mucopurulent bloody stool,diarrhea,tenesmus and abdominal pain in the two groups were lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the combined group was significantly superior to that in the reference group(P＜0.01).(3)After treatment,the levels of serum inflammatory factors of IL-2 and PCT in the two groups were lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the combined group was more obvious than that in the reference group(P＜0.01).(4)After treatment,the levels of immune function indicators of T lymphocyte subsets CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the two groups were higher than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the level of CD8+ was lower than that before treatment(P＜0.05).The increase of CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels and the decrease of CD8+ levels in the combined group were more obvious than those in the reference group(P＜0.01).(5)After treatment,the levels of intestinal flora of Lactobacillus,Bifidobacterium and Escherichia coli in the two groups were higher than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the increase in the combined group was more obvious that in the reference group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Anchang Formula combined with Aluminum Phosphate Gel exerts significant efficacy for the treatment of patients with radiation enteritis caused by radiotherapy for cervical cancer.The combined therapy can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms of patients,reduce the inflammatory reaction,improve the immune function,and balance the intestinal flora.

Objective: Data for 2016 from cancer registries were used to estimate cancer incidence and mortality in China in 2016. Methods: According to the quality control process of the National Central Cancer Registry, the data from 683 cancer registries submitted by each province were evaluated, and the data of 487 cancer registries were qualified and included in the final analysis. Age-specific incidence and mortality rates were calculated by area (urban/rural), sex, age and cancer site, combined with national population data to estimate cancer incidence and mortality in China in 2016. Chinese population census in 2000 and Segi's population were used for age-standardized incidence and mortality rates. Results: Total population covered by 487 cancer registries was 381 565 422 (192 628 370 in urban and 188 937 052 in rural areas). The percentages of morphologically verified (MV%) and death certificate-only cases (DCO%) accounted for 68.31% and 1.40%, respectively, and the mortality to incidence ratio was 0.61. It was estimated about 4 064 000 new cases occurred in China in 2016, with the crude incidence rate being 293.91/100 000 (the rates of males and females were 315.52/100 000 and 271.23/100 000), age-standardized incidence rates by Chinese standard population (ASIRC) and by world standard population (ASIRW) were 190.76/100 000 and 186.46/100 000, with the cumulative incidence rate (0-74 years old) being 21.42%. The crude incidence and ASIRC were 314.74/100 000 and 196.38/100 000 in urban areas, whereas in rural areas, they were 265.90/100 000 and 182.21/100 000, respectively. It was estimated about 2 413 500 cancer deaths occurred in China in 2016, the crude mortality rate was 174.55/100 000 (216.16/100 000 in males and 130.88/100 000 in females), the age-standardized mortality rates by Chinese standard population (ASMRC) and by world standard population (ASMRW) were 106.00/100 000 and 105.19/100 000, and the cumulative mortality rate (0-74 years old) was 11.85%. The crude mortality and ASMRC were 180.31/100 000 and 104.44/100 000 in urban areas, whereas in rural areas, they were 166.81/100 000 and 108.01/100 000, respectively. The most common cancer cases include lung, colorectal, stomach, liver and female breast cancers. The top five cancers accounted for about 57.27% of all cancer cases. The most common cancer deaths included lung, liver, stomach, colorectal and esophageal cancers. The top five cancers accounted for about 69.25% of all cancer deaths. Conclusions: The burden of cancer shows a continuous increasing trend in China. Regional and gender differences in cancer burden are obvious. The cancer patterns still show the coexistence of cancer patterns in developed countries and developing countries. The situation of cancer prevention and control is still serious in China.
