Objective:To systematically review qualitative studies on the experiences of musculoskeletal symptoms in breast cancer patients undergoing endocrine therapy, and to gain insights into the initiation, development, and effects of these symptoms, along with their implications for patients, to guide the creation of targeted strategies for symptom management.Methods:The qualitative studies on the experiences of musculoskeletal symptoms in breast cancer patients undergoing endocrine therapy were performed across several databases, which included the Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence based Healthcare Center Database, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to April 30, 2024. The studies' quality was evaluated utilizing the iteration of the Joanna Briggs Institute Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument designed for qualitative research. Data synthesis was carried out using Meta-aggregation techniques.Results:A total of 15 articles were included and 41 results were extracted, which were grouped into 11 new categories and integrated into 3 primary themes: the manifestation of bone and joint symptoms was highly unique and varied, prominently featuring experiences such as migratory joint pain, morning stiffness, and cramps affecting both large and small joints, frequently associated with functional limitations; these symptoms significantly influence patients' everyday activities and mental health, contributing to feelings of anxiety, avoidance behaviors, fear, and a reduction in overall quality of life; to manage the intricate nature of their symptoms, patients employ a variety of coping mechanisms, such as engaging in physical activity, taking dietary supplements, consulting about medications, and seeking support from external sources.Conclusions:During endocrine therapy for breast cancer, patients exhibit diverse characteristics of musculoskeletal symptoms, and the resulting fear of recurrence, avoidance behaviors, and anxiety have a negative impact on their psychological well-being and overall health. Healthcare professionals should take into account individual differences, such as age, menopausal status, type of endocrine therapy, medication adherence, and factors that may exacerbate or alleviate symptoms, in order to effectively predict, assess, and manage bone and joint symptoms during endocrine therapy.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and toxicity of blinatumomab in the first-line and second-line treatment of pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).Methods:A multi-center retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze clinical data from 323 pediatric B-ALL patients treated with blinatumomab across 14 hospitals in China from May 2021 to July 2023. Patients were divided into four groups based on the treatment phase and disease status when blinatumomab was used: relapsed/refractory group, post-consolidation minimal residual disease (MRD)-positive group, early MRD-positive group, and MRD-negative group. Blinatumomab for the relapsed/refractory group was considered as second-line treatment, while the other 3 groups as first-line treatment. The MRD negativity rate after treatment, the survival rates and the incidence of severe adverse events were compared across these groups. Patients who received blinatumomab for more than 7 days were included in the efficacy analysis. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Log-Rank test was used to compare the survival rates among groups.Results:Among the 323 patients, 191 (59.1%) were male, with the age of 6.2 (3.9, 10.5) years. There were 117 patients in the relapsed/refractory group, 62 cases in the post-consolidation MRD-positive group, 43 cases in the early MRD-positive group, and 101 cases in the MRD negative group. In the relapsed/refractory group, the complete remission rate and MRD negativity rate after one course of blinatumomab were 71.4% (35/49) and 81.5% (75/92) for the 49 children without complete remission and the 92 children with flow cytometry-positive MRD, respectively. In the post-consolidation MRD-positive group, the MRD negativity rates after one course of blinatumomab were 100.0% (27/27), 12/16 and 9/19 for patients with MRD positivity detected by flow cytometry, polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing, respectively. In the early MRD-positive group, the MRD negativity rates were 96.7% (29/30) and 9/9 for flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing, respectively. The 2-year overall survival rate and event-free survival rate for the 319 children evaluable for efficacy were (90.6±1.7)% and (87.6±1.9)%, respectively, with the relapsed/refractory group showing significantly lower overall survival rates and event-free survival rate compared to the other groups ( χ2=21.40, 26.21,both P<0.001). Grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred in 128 cases (39.6%), with hematological toxicity observed in 101 cases, while cytokine release syndrome (CRS), infection, and neurotoxicity occurred in 11, 26 and 8 cases, respectively. In addition, there were statistically significant differences in the grade 3 or higher CRS among the four groups ( χ2=8.03, P<0.05). Conclusion:Blinatumomab can clear MRD more effectively and achieve superior survival outcomes when used as first-line treatment for pediatric B-ALL, with less CRS.

A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 8 patients with PICALM::MLLT10 (P/M) fusion gene-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) diagnosed by transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June 2017 to March 2023 was performed. Laboratory findings and treatment status were analyzed, and survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The 8 patients included 5 males and 3 females, aged 16-35 years, with a median age of 27 years. The platelet count of patients was normal, and 3 patients had mild to moderate anemia. Extramedullary infiltration was present in all patients with clinical manifestations, including 5 patients with mediastinal masses, 2 patients with hepatosplenomegaly, 1 patient with central nervous system leukemia, and 1 patient with cervical lymph node enlargement. Karyotypical analysis revealed 7 patients with an abnormal karyotype, including 6 cases of complex karyotypes. Of these, 4 patients harbored the t(10;11) translocation. The complete remission rate of induction chemotherapy in the patients was 7/8, and 2 patients experienced early recurrence. All patients subsequently underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), The follow-up period ranged from 86 to 812 days, with a median of 330 days. Among the 8 patients, 3 survived and 5 died due to recurrence. Relapse and death only occurred in the P/M fusion gene-positive patients after transplantation. The overall survival rate at 1 year after transplantation was 37.5%. P/M +AML has the characteristics of young age at onset, normal platelet count, high incidence of extramedullary infiltration, and high proportion of complex karyotype. RNA-seq can significantly improve the detection rate of this disease type. Allo-HSCT can partially improve the prognosis of P/M +AML, and P/M positivity after transplantation can be a warning sign of recurrence, which is an important factor affecting survival.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapy alone in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH).Methods:Firstly, retrospective case series study was conducted. Thirty cases of CSDH that had received body posture combined with pharmacotherapy at Department of Neurosurgery, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from December 2016 to October 2020 were studied retrospectively. Twenty-seven patients were male, and 3 patients were female. The age of patients ( M(IQR)) was 66(16) years (range:28 to 84). Nineteen patients had unilateral hematoma, and 11 patients had bilateral hematoma. All patients received pharmacotherapy and body posture therapy that was to raise their lower limbs 20 to 30 cm with leg lift pad and get abdominal compressed with customized abdominal belt in supine position. Patients were required to maintain the body posture as much as possible, with the maximum to 16 to 18 hours per day. Patients with unilateral hematoma should tilt the head to the affected side and avoid tilting it to the opposite side. For patients with bilateral hematoma, there was no need for head lateralization. Patient were treated with oral dexamethasone and atorvastatin simultaneously. The preliminary efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy was determined by hematoma improvement rate which was analyzed by Clopper-Pearson method. Then, the multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial had carried out in 9 medical centers from August 2020 to November 2021. The stratified block randomization method was adopted. Patients were randomized in a ratio of 1∶1 to either receive pharmacotherapy alone(the control group) or body posture combined with pharmacotherapy(the experiment group) for 3 months and followed up for 6 months. Effective treatment was defined as complete absorption of hematoma, or the hematoma volume decreased by more than 10 ml and Markwalder grading scale score had improved by more than 1 point compared to the baseline. The efficacy rate and surgery conversion rate at 3 months and recurrence at 6 months were observed. Comparison between groups was performed with paired sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, corrected χ2 test, or Fisher exact probability method. Logistic regression was used to compare the effective rate and operation rate between the two groups. Results:In the respective study, 30 patients completed follow-up 13 to 353 days after treatment. At the last follow-up, the incidence of almost complete absorption or significantly absorption of hematoma (hematoma volume was significantly reduced accompanied by symptom improvement) was 93.3%. The 95% CI for the incidence that analyzed by the Clopper-Pearson method was 77.9% to 99.2%. One hundred and six patients were enrolled in the multicenter study. Fifty-five patients underwent body posture combined with pharmacotherapy. The age was 74(17) years (range:26 to 92). Thirty-nine patients were males and 16 were females. Fifty-one patients underwent pharmacotherapy alone. The age was 69(12) years (range:48 to 84). Thirty-seven patients were males and 14 were females. The length of body posture recorded in diary card was (15.7±2.3) hours(range:7.6 to 19.3 hours). The efficacy rate in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group and pharmacotherapy alone group were 83.6% (46/55) and 56.9% (29/51), respectively at 3 months. The result of the logistic regression analysis showed that the efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group was better than that of pharmacotherapy alone group ( OR=3.88,95% CI:1.57 to 9.58, P=0.003). Surgery rate in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group and pharmacotherapy alone group were 5.5% (3/55) and 21.6% (11/51) respectively. The result of Logistic regression showed that the pharmacotherapy alone group was more likely to be converted to surgery ( OR=0.21,95% CI:0.05 to 0.80, P=0.023). At the 6 months, no recurrence of cases was found in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group. However, the recurrence rate of pharmacotherapy alone group was 6.3% (3/48), there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The effect of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy for chronic subdural hematoma is better than that of pharmacotherapy alone.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and prognostic factors of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) for patients with breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM).Methods:Medical records and follow-up data of BCBM patients who underwent FSRT in Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Shenzhen Center and Shenzhen People's Hospital from August 2019 to May 2023 were collected. The R Studio platform of the R version 4.2.1 statistical software was applied to analyze patients' baseline characteristics, 1- and 2-year local brain control (LBC), overall survival (OS) and distant brain control (DBC) and corresponding median failure-free survival, draw survival curve using Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors were screened by univariate analysis and multivariate analysis (Cox regression).Results:Cumulatively, 52 patients (163 metastases in total) had a median survival follow-up of 22.1 months, 83% were<60 years old. Molecular typing: 13 cases (25%) were positive for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2+) / hormone receptor negative (HR-), 2 cases (4%) were luminal A, 26 cases (50%) were luminal B, and 11 cases (21%) were triple negative. The median number of brain metastases was 2 (range: 1 - 17). Follow-up outcomes: the median OS was 34.0 months, with 1- and 2-year OS rates of 85.6% and 65.4%, respectively; the median LBC was 20.6 months, with 1- and 2-year LBC rates of 79.2% and 45.2%, respectively; and the median DBC was 10.3 months, with 1- and 2-year DBC rates of 46.7% and 28.9%, respectively. During follow-up, 13 patients underwent salvage local therapy (10 FSRT); 5 developed radiation necrosis (1 symptomatic). Prognostic factor analysis: absence of extracranial organ metastases (compared with ≥3) was a protective factor for OS, P<0.05. For LBC, fewer (1 - 2) extracranial organ metastases (compared with ≥3), and single brain metastasis (compared with ≥2) were favorable prognostic factors , while N 3 staging upon initial diagnosis was a poor prognostic factor (all P<0.05). For DBC, brain metastasis after surgery was a good prognostic factor, while complicated with lung metastasis and asymptomatic brain metastasis at the first diagnosis were poor prognostic factors (all P<0.05). Conclusions:FSRT yields relatively good LBC and poor DBC for BCBM patients. A certain percentage of patients require salvage FSRT during follow-up, but OS is maintained acceptable and the radiation necrosis is tolerable. Among the prognostic factors, the absence of extracranial metastatic organs is a good prognostic factor for OS; patients with single brain metastasis, fewer extracranial metastatic organs, and non-N 3 staging upon initial diagnosis can obtain better LBC after FSRT.

Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with early recurrence after surgery for concomitant exo-tropia and establish a Nomogram prediction model.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 243 cases(486 eyes)of concomitant exotropia treated in the Ophthalmology Department of our hospital from October 2015 to October 2021.The patients were divided into a training set(n=170)and a validation set(n=73)at a ratio of 7∶3.The Lasso re-gression,Boruta algorithm,and random forest algorithm were used to screen risk variables related to postoperative recur-rence of concomitant exotropia.The Spearman correlation analysis and variance inflation factor(VIF)were used to assess collinearity among variables,and a Nomogram prediction model was established using multivariate Cox regression.The re-ceiver operating characteristic curve,calibration curve,and clinical decision curve of the model at 6 months,18 months,and 24 months after surgery were used to assess the efficacy of the model.Results Three machine learning methods in-cluding Lasso regression,Boruta algorithm,and random forest algorithm identified six significant variables that might con-tribute to early recurrence after strabismus surgery from 22 risk variables in both training and validation sets.No collineari-ty was found among the six variables(r<0.6,VIF<5).Multivariate Cox regression revealed that strabismus type(inter-mittent exotropia),preoperative strabismus angle,best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)in the right eye,BCVA in both eyes,and surgical procedures(unilateral lateral rectus recession)were risk factors for early recurrence after surgery for concomitant exotropia.Meanwhile,a Nomogram prediction model was constructed based on these 6 factors.The receiver operating characteristic,calibration,and clinical decision curves indicated that the prediction model had good accuracy,consistency,and clinical applicability.Conclusion Nomogram prediction model can effectively predict the risk of early recurrence after surgery for concomitant exotropia,and provides a reference for ophthalmologists to intervene early in pa-tients.
