The v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) gene is one of the most critical proto-oncogenes and functions as a key regulator in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. The incidence of BRAF mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients ranges from 1.5% to 5.5%, with BRAF V600 mutations accounting for approximately 30%-50% of all BRAF mutations, among which BRAF V600E represents the most prevalent mutation type. Currently, the combination of Dabrafenib and Trametinib has been recommended as first-line therapy for BRAF V600-mutant NSCLC by multiple domestic and international guidelines including National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), and Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO). However, there are no clear targeted treatment recommendations for BRAF non-V600 mutations. Although case reports suggest that Dabrafenib combined with Trametinib may be effective for patients with BRAF non-V600 mutations, the efficacy and safety require further validation due to limited sample size and lack of large-scale clinical trial data. This article reports a case of NSCLC with a rare BRAF insertion and deletion mutation that responded well to the treatment of Dabrafenib in combination with Trametinib, aiming to enhance clinicians' understanding of such NSCLC cases with extremely rare mutation and provide a reference for future treatment strategies.

BACKGROUND:
It is inaccurate to reflect the level of dust exposure through working years. Furthermore, identifying a predictive indicator for lung function decline is significant for coal miners. The study aimed to explored whether club cell secretory protein (CC16) levels can reflect early lung function changes.
METHODS:
The cumulative respiratory dust exposure (CDE) levels of 1,461 coal miners were retrospectively assessed by constructed a job-exposure matrix to replace working years. Important factors affecting lung function and CC16 were selected by establishing random forest models. Subsequently, the potential of CC16 to reflect lung injury was explored from multiple perspectives. First, restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to compare the trends of changes in lung function indicators and plasma CC16 levels after dust exposure. Then mediating analysis was performed to investigate the role of CC16 in the association between dust exposure and lung function decline. Finally, the association between baseline CC16 levels and follow-up lung function was explored.
RESULTS:
The median CDE were 35.13 mg/m3-years. RCS models revealed a rapid decline in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), and their percentages of predicted values when CDE exceeded 25 mg/m3-years. The dust exposure level (<5 mg/m3-years) causing significant changes in CC16 was much lower than the level (25 mg/m3-years) that caused changes in lung function indicators. CC16 mediated 11.1% to 26.0% of dust-related lung function decline. Additionally, workers with low baseline CC16 levels experienced greater reductions in lung function in the future.
CONCLUSIONS
CC16 levels are more sensitive than lung indicators in reflecting early lung function injury and plays mediating role in lung function decline induced by dust exposure. Low baseline CC16 levels predict poor future lung function.

[Objective]To summarize Professor LIN Xianming's clinical experience in treating tic disorders(TD)based on the"promoting Yang to relieve stagnation"approach.[Methods]Through clinical observation,literature review,and analysis of Professor LIN's theoretical discussions and medical case records,this study systematically elaborates the etiology and pathogenesis of TD,and further explores the unique diagnostic and therapeutic approach of"promoting Yang to relieve stagnation"by supporting clinical case.[Results]Professor LIN believes that TD often arises from the gradual stagnation of Yang Qi,leading to internal Yang stasis,which further exacerbates the condition.Manifestations arise either from Yang Qi failing to nourish the mind and sinews,or from the offensive surge of constrained Yang.The traditional"calming the liver and extinguishing wind"method may hinder the development of Yang Qi in children.Therefore,he proposes the"promoting Yang to relieve stagnation"method,combining Cinnamomi Ramulus-based formulas with acupuncture at back-Shu points,which facilitates the dispersal of Yang Qi and restores proper function,thereby nourishing the mind and tendons and alleviating the tics.The differentiated application of various Cinnamomi Ramulus-based formulas,combined with the"quick and slow needling technique"applied to back-Shu points,can effectively treat TD.The attached TD case presents a pattern of depressed Yang Qi failing to flowing smoothly,accompanied with offensive surge of constrained Yang Qi,along with Yang Qi deficiency.The treatment employed Guizhi Gegen Decoction combined with stimulation of the back-Shu acupoints to disperse stagnation and activate Yang,elevate Yang and restore Yin balance,resulting in favorable therapeutic outcomes.[Conclusion]Professor LIN's approach of treating TD through"promoting Yang to relieve stagnation"has shown remarkable efficacy and is worth promoting in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE To establish a preparation system for megakaryocytes(MKs)derived from human embryonic stem cells(hESCs)and MK microparticles(MKMPs),and to assess the pro-angio-genic efficiency of these microparticles.METHODS ①hESCs were induced to mesodermal progenitor cells via monolayer culture with the first-stage induction medium for 2 days before the cells were induced to hemogenic endothelial/hematopoietic progenitor cells by culturing with the second-stage induction medium for another 3 days.Then,the cells were dissociated into single cells,seeded into the third-stage induction medium,and cultured using the suspension method for 8 days to obtain MKs.The specific characters of differentiated cells were identified through morphological observation and flow cytometry before stage-specific marker proteins in different periods were analyzed[hESCs:TRA-1-60,sialyl glycolipid stage-specific embryonic antigen4(SSEA4)];mesodermal progenitor cells:brachyury;hemogenic endothelial/hematopoietic progenitor cells:CD34,CD43;MKs:CD41a,CD42b),and immu-nofluorescence staining[β1-tubulin,von Willebrand factor(VWF)],[friend leukemia integration 1(FLI1),CD42].② MKMP collection and verification:MKMPs were collected via differential centrifugation.The concentration and size of these MKMPs were determined by nanoparticle tracking analysis(NTA),and both the morphology and ultrastructure were examined by transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Besides,the MKMPs-specific proteins[CD41,tumor susceptibility gene 101(TSG101)and CD9]were detected by Western blotting analysis.③ Biological function of MKMPs:MKMPs were stained with CD41a-PE antibodies and co-cultured with human umbilical veinvascular endothelial cells(HUVECs)labeled by CD34-APC for 3 h.Live-cell immunofluorescence was employed to find out whether HUVECs could absorb MKMPs.To find out whether MKMPs could affect the role of HUVECs in angio-genesis and cell migration,platelet microvesicles(PMPs)were used as positive controls.The experi-mental groups were added with different concentrations of microparticles(1,5,10 and 20 mg·L-1)while the control group was given no microparticles(0 mg·L-1).The number of nodes that formed the lumen after 5 h of incubation in Matrigel was counted,and the size of healing of the scratch area was analyzed after 6 h.To elucidate the mechanism through which MKMPs impacted angiogenesis,ELISA was used out to quantitatively detect the concentration of proteins in microparticles.RESULTS ① A three-stage differentiation cultural system was established to develop hESCs into MKs.Flow cytometry revealed progressive loss of pluripotency markers SSEA4 and TRA-1-60,while the mesodermal progenitor marker brachyury peaked at d 2.Subsequently,hemogenic endothelial/hematopoietic progenitor markers CD34 and CD43 emerged at d 5,followed by megakaryocytic markers CD41a and CD42b at d 13.Immunofluorescent images further demonstrated that MKs expressed specific proteins CD42,β1-tubulin,von VWF and FLI1 at d 13.②Microparticles were collected via differential centrifuga-tion.Transmission electron microscopy revealed that their substructure exhibited a typical double-layered membrane.Nanoparticle tracking analysis indicated that the size was(164.3±14.0)nm.The result of WB demonstrated that the microparticles expressed specific markers,including TSG101,CD9 and CD41.③ MKMPs were absorbed after being co-cultured with HUVECs for 3 h and enhanced the ability of HUVECs to form tubes and migrate.Notably,the treatment of 5 mg·L-1 MKMPs was more effective than 5 mg·L-1 PMPs treatment.The results of ELISA showed that the content of VEGF from MKMPs was higher than from PMPs,which may be the key factor in regulating endothelial biological function.CONCLUSION MKs derived from hESCs can generate functional microparticles which can promote angiogenesis.

BACKGROUND:
Durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) failed to bring survival benefits to patients with epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) mutations in PACIFIC study (evaluating durvalumab in patients with stage III, unresectable NSCLC who did not have disease progression after concurrent chemoradiotherapy). We aimed to explore whether locally advanced inoperable patients with EGFR mutations benefit from tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and the optimal treatment regimen.
METHODS:
We searched the PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases from inception to December 31, 2022 and performed a meta-analysis based on a Bayesian framework, with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) as the primary endpoints.
RESULTS:
A total of 1156 patients were identified in 16 studies that included 6 treatment measures, including CRT, CRT followed by durvalumab (CRT-Durva), TKI monotherapy, radiotherapy combined with TKI (RT-TKI), CRT combined with TKI (CRT-TKI), and TKI combined with durvalumab (TKI-Durva). The PFS of patients treated with TKI-containing regimens was significantly longer than that of patients treated with TKI-free regimens (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.20-0.66). The PFS of TKI monotherapy was significantly longer than that of CRT (HR = 0.66, 95% CI, 0.50-0.87) but shorter than RT-TKI (HR = 1.78, 95% CI, 1.17-2.67). Furthermore, the PFS of RT-TKI or CRT-TKI were both significantly longer than that of CRT or CRT-Durva. RT-TKI ranked first in the Bayesian ranking, with the longest OS (60.8 months, 95% CI = 37.2-84.3 months) and the longest PFS (21.5 months, 95% CI, 15.4-27.5 months) in integrated analysis.
CONCLUSIONS:
For unresectable stage III EGFR mutant NSCLC, RT and TKI are both essential. Based on the current evidence, RT-TKI brings a superior survival advantage, while CRT-TKI needs further estimation. Large randomized clinical trials are urgently needed to explore the appropriate application sequences of TKI, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

Objective To analyze the difference of diseases between the coal mine workers and the general population inpatients by the disease spectrum in Datong City. Methods A total of 282 639 hospitalized patients in Datong City in 2023 were included as the study subjects. Participants were divided into a general population group and a coal mine workers group based on health insurance types, with 247 897 and 34 742 cases, respectively. The disease spectrum of participants in both groups was coded and analyzed according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10). The standardized constituent ratios of disease categories were calculated and compared between the two groups. Results Patients aged 60-<70 years had the largest standardized proportion in both cohorts (29.02% in the general population group and 33.08% in coal mine workers group). Circulatory system diseases had the highest standardized proportion in both groups. Within the top six disease categories ranked by standardized composition ratio in the coal mine workers, three demonstrated a higher burden, including neoplasms (C00-D48), symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical/laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99), and factors influencing health status/contact with health services (Z00-Z99), compared with the general population (11.82% vs 10.44%, 12.99% vs 8.03%, and 6.17% vs 2.04%, respectively). In both groups, male workers had higher standardized constituent ratios of circulatory, respiratory, and digestive system diseases than females (coal mine workers group, 19.53% vs 14.31%, 13.56% vs 9.10%, 10.61% vs 8.43%; general population group, 26.15% vs 22.42%, 15.45% vs 11.87%, 11.52% vs 10.41%). Conversely, the ratios for conditions classified under symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical/laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99). and factors influencing health status/contact with health services (Z00-Z99) were higher in females than males (coal mine workers group, 13.31% vs 12.68%, 7.26% vs 5.13%; general population group, 8.91% vs 7.18%, 2.35% vs 1.74%). Mental and behavioral disorders (F00-F99) were most prevalent in the 22-<50-year age group in the general population (9.92%) and in the 50-<60-year age group in coal mine workers (8.58%). The standardized proportion of respiratory system diseases ranked first in≥80-year age workers in general population group and coal mine workers group (29.54% and 26.46%, respectively). Regarding specific malignancies, unspecified malignant neoplasm of the bronchus or lung was the most common cancer among males in both groups (3.44% and 3.62%). Among females, the standardized proportion of unspecified malignant neoplasm of breast was higher in coal mine workers group than in the general population group (2.60% vs 2.09%). Conclusion Neoplasms, abnormal symptoms, and mental health disorders should be prioritized in disease prevention strategies for coal mine workers. Greater attention should be paid to mental health screening in younger populations, and medical resource allocation should be optimized according to sex-specific high-incidence cancers.

Objective:To evaluate the perioperative application effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) clinical pathway in percutaneous vertebro plasty (PVP).Methods:The clinical data of 274 patients who underwent PVP treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from May 2023 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the different numbers of surgical segments: the single-segment group ( n=211) and the multisegment group ( n=63). Patients in the single-segment group underwent single-segment surgery, while patients in the multisegment group underwent surgery on ≥2 segments. The core points of the ERAS clinical pathway adopted in this study include perioperative education, pain management, early mobilization, application of "outfast", and joint guidance from the departments of nutrition and rehabilitation. Comparison was made between the two groups of patients in terms of visual analog scale (VAS) scores for low back pain at preoperative, 2 h, 6 h, 24 h postoperatively, and on the day of discharge; Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores preoperatively and on the day of discharge; time to first ambulation postoperatively, total length of hospital stay, postoperative length of stay, perioperative complications, and perioperative application of Opioid consumption. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups; count data were expressed as cases and percentage, and the Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. The VAS pain scores at each stage of the perioperative period were evaluated using repeated measures analysis of variance or generalized estimating equations. Results:Compared with that before the operation [(6.17±0.93) points, (6.29±0.83) points], the VAS scores of low back pain of patients in the single-segment group and the multisegment group at 2 hours after surgery [(3.09±0.82) points, (3.27±0.65) points], 6 hours after surgery [(2.60±0.79) points, (2.62±0.55) points], and 24 hours after surgery [(1.89±0.77) points, (1.97±0.72) points] and on the day of discharge [(1.72±0.71) points, (1.81±0.64) points] were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the same stage, the VAS scores of low back pain in both groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The ODI scores of patients in the single-segment group and the multisegment group on the day of discharge [(24.21±2.35) points, (24.63±3.31) points] were significantly lower than those before the operation [(64.50±4.81) points, (65.52±4.08) points], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in perioperative complications and the proportion of Opioid drug application between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For patients with single-segment or multisegment OVCF, PVP surgical treatment under ERAS clinical pathway management can achieve immediate pain relief, early ambulation exercise, and satisfactory perioperative efficacy.
