During the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) , many patients have developed drug resistance due to the use of targeted EGFR inhibitors. The main reasons for drug resistance are EGFR site mutations and bypass activation. Activation of ALK pathway is one of the major types of bypass activation. A recent authoritative study indicates that ALK is closely related to immunotherapy. This article reviews the treatment of ALK in tumors from three aspects: the structure and physiological function of ALK, the small molecule inhibitor of ALK, the biological function of ALK and its related treatment methods for NSCLC, and prospects future directions for better application of ALK in the treatment of NSCLC.

【Objective】 To evaluate the therapeutic effect of probiotics on core symptoms in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in order to provide theoretical basis for the treatment and intervention of ASD. 【Method】 Articles published from January 2000 to May 2023 on the effect of probiotics on core symptoms in ASD children were retrieved from 7 databases, including Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Citation Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4.Effect size, combine heterogeneity test sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were calculated. 【Result】 Totally 10 studies with 343 patients were included in this Meta-analysis.Meta-analysis showed that there was statistically significant difference in ASD core symptom score between the intervention group and the control group (SMD=-0.34, 95%CI: -0.55 - -0.12, P<0.05).Subgroup analysis showed that the efficacy of the trial conducted in Asian populations was not significant (SMD=-0.32, 95%CI: -0.63 - 0.00, P=0.05).In Caucasian populations, the therapeutic effect was significant (SMD=-0.35, 95%CI: -0.65 - -0.06, P<0.05).Grouped by age, it was found that the efficacy was not significant in trials involving adults (SMD=-0.12, 95%CI: - 0.57 - 0.33, P=0.61), but significant in trials involving only minors (SMD=-0.40, 95%CI: -0.65 - -0.16, P<0.05).According to the treatment course grouping, the intervention for less than 3 months (SMD=-0.35, 95%CI: -0.66 - -0.03, P<0.05) and more than 3 months (SMD=-0.33, 95%CI: -0.62 - -0.03, P<0.05) showed significant therapeutic efficacy.Grouped by bacterial strains, the efficacy of a single microbial community was not significant (SMD=-0.16, 95%CI: -0.46 - 0.15, P>0.05), while the efficacy of a composite microbial community was significant (SMD=-0.51, 95%CI: -0.81 - -0.21, P<0.05). 【Conclusions】 Probiotic therapy is effective in improving the core symptoms of ASD patients, but is influenced by factors such as race, age and probiotic strain. Composite microbiota has better efficacy in Caucasian and underage populations.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a terminal disease of the lung. Its pathogenesis mechanism and pathogenesis evolution are very complex, which is closely related to epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). Under the guidance of the theory of "deficient-qi induced stagnation", this article elaborated on the relationship between IPF, "deficient-qi induced stagnation", and EMT from the perspective of TCM and Western medicine. It is believed that "deficient-qi induced stagnation" is the macroscopic pathogenesis of IPF, and EMT is the microscopic mechanism of IPF. The micro-mechanism was to inhibit EMT as the treatment target to prevent epithelial cell injury and apoptosis, thus reducing the release of inflammatory factors, pro-fibrosis factors and other factors that damage lung tissue and the transformation of damaged epithelial cells into fibroblasts and produce a large number of ECM deposition; the occurrence and development process of IPF was summarized in the macro pathogenesis. It was highly condensed that IPF was based on "deficiency-qi", "stagnation" as the standard, and the basic pathogenesis characteristics of "stagnation" due to deficiency, as well as the pathogenesis development characteristics of the vicious cycle of "deficiency leads to stagnation, and from stagnation to deficiency". Based on the theory of "deficient-qi induced stagnation", it should be used to tonify deficiency and clear stagnation; tonifying deficiency includes replenishing lung qi, benefiting qi and nourishing yin, and mutual generation between metal and water; clearing stagnation includes circulating qi and blood, drying the wetness and eliminating phlegm, and promoting blood circulation for removing obstruction in collaterals, etc. In clinical application, attention should be paid to the fact that tonifying deficiency and clearing stagnation should be used in parallel.

Objective To investigate the genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of different geographical isolates of Gohieria fusca.. Methods G. fusca isolates were sampled from Wuhu (WH), Bengbu (BB) and Bozhou cities (BZ) of Anhui Province and Jiaxing City of Zhejiang Province (JX). Mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cytb) and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes were amplified in WH, BB, BZ and JX isolates of G. fusca using PCR assay. The gene sequences were edited and aligned using the software Chromas 2 and DNASTAR 1.00, and the haplotype, haplotype diversity (Hd) and nucleotide polymorphism (Pi) of each isolate were calculated using the software DnaSP 5.10.00. The genetic differentiation among isolates (F_st) and gene flow value (N_m) were estimated using the software MEGA 10.2, and a phylogenetic tree was built. Tests of neutrality and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) were performed using the software Arlequin 3.1 and a haplotype network was built based on the Median-Joining network using the software Network 10.2. Results PCR assay showed that the sizes of the Cytb and ITS genes were 372 bp and 1 301 to 1 320 bp, respectively. All four isolates of G. fusca presented high genetic diversity based on mitochondrial Cytb and ITS genes (Hd = 0.804, Pi = 0.006 91). AMOVA showed genetic differentiation among geographical isolates of G. fusca (F_st = 0.202 40, P < 0.05), and the genetic variation was mainly caused by intra-population variations (79.76%). Gene flow analysis showed a high level of gene flow among G. fusca isolates (N_m > 1). Tests of neutrality based on Cytb gene measured a Tajima’s D value of −1.796 31 (P < 0.05) and a Fu’s FS value of −3.293 98 (P < 0.05) in WH isolate of G. fusca, indicating population expansion in WH isolate of G. fusca. Haplotype network analysis and phylogenetic analysis revealed no remarkable geographical distribution pattern among different geographical isolates of G. fusca. All four isolates of G. fusca presented high genetic diversity (Hd = 0.985, Pi = 0.011 97). AMOVA showed moderate level of genetic differentiation between four isolates (F_st = 0.104 62, P < 0.05). The tests of neutrality based on ITS genes measured a Tajima’s D value of −6.088 20 and a Fu’s FS value of −1.935 99 (both P > 0.05) in the whole isolate of G. fusca, indicating no obviously population expansion. Conclusions The four geographical isolates of G. fusca have high genetic diversity and remarkable genetic differentiation. Since a high level of gene flow is detected among different geographical isolates of G. fusca, no obvious geographical distribution pattern of G. fusca is found.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of virtual reality technology in postoperative rehabilitation of patients with total knee and hip arthroplasty replacement.Methods:Randomized controlled trials of the effect of virtual reality technology in postoperative rehabilitation of patients with total knee and hip arthroplasty replacement were searched through PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, CBM, VIP and Wanfang data.The retrieval period was from the establishment of database to November 25, 2021. Literature screening, information extraction and quality evaluation were conducted by 2 researchers. RevMan 5.4 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 9 literatures and 668 patients were included. The Meta-analysisresults showed that virtual reality technology compared with traditional rehabilitation methods could reduce pain score ( MD=-0.64, 95% CI: -0.86--0.42, P<0.001), improve joint function ( MD=-4.46, 95% CI: -5.85--3.07, P<0.001; MD=9.78, 95% CI: 6.61-12.95, P<0.001; SMD=1.84, 95% CI: 0.85-2.83, P<0.001), increase joint range of motion ( MD=7.25, 95% CI: 6.48-8.02, P<0.001), improve patient's balance function ( MD=6.20, 95% CI: 5.01-7.38, P<0.001) and quality of life ( SMD=1.30, 95% CI: 0.90-1.71, P<0.001) . Conclusions:Virtual reality technology can improve joint function, range of motion, balance function and quality of life of patients with total knee and hip arthroplastyreplacement, reduce pain scores. However, the existing evidence cannot prove the effect of virtual reality technology on psychological function, enthusiasm and interest of patients, and further discussion is needed in the future.

To investigate the effect of long-term indwelling gastric tube on the prevention and treatment of esophageal stenosis after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for esophageal circumferential superficial cancer, data of patients with esophageal circumferential superficial cancer who underwent ESD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 patients with gastric tube placement (GTP) after ESD (the GTP group ), and 23 patients without GTP (the non-GTP group). The general information, lesion location, pathological stage, postoperative complications, degree of esophageal stenosis (water intake), pain conditions, number of hospitalizations and medical expenses were compared between the two groups. The results showed that there was no significant difference in age, gender, lesion location or postoperative pathological stage between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the non-GTP group, the rate of water intake in the GTP group was significantly higher (11/15 VS 6/23, P<0.05), the frequency of pain was less in the GTP group (7.3±3.1 times VS 10.7±3.6 times, t=3.00, P<0.05), and the number of hospitalizations and the medical expenses after ESD to before and after stent placement were significantly lower in the GTP group than those in the non-GTP group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of delayed bleeding and perforation, or time of the first stenosis after ESD between the two groups ( P>0.05). The results of the study initially showed that long-term indwelling gastric tube after ESD can reduce the degree of esophageal stenosis with good safety for esophageal circumferential superficial lesions.

Objective: The scientific community knows little about the long-term influence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on olfactory dysfunction (OD). With the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing worldwide, the risk of imported cases remains high. In China, it is necessary to understand OD in imported cases. Methods: A prospective follow-up design was adopted. A total of 11 self-reported patients with COVID-19 and OD from Xi'an No. 8 Hospital were followed between August 19, 2021, and December 12, 2021. Demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory and radiological findings, and treatment outcomes were analyzed at admission. We surveyed the patients via telephone for recurrence and sequelae at the 1-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up. Results: Eleven patients with OD were enrolled; of these, 54.5% (6/11) had hyposmia and 45.5% (5/11) had anosmia. 63.6% (7/11) reported OD before or on the day of admission as their initial symptom; of these, 42.9% (3/7) described OD as the only symptom. All patients in the study received combined treatment with traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and 72.7% (8/11) had partially or fully recovered at discharge. In terms of OD recovery at the 12-month follow-up, 45.5% (5/11) reported at least one sequela, 81.8% (9/11) had recovered completely, 18.2% (2/11) had recovered partially, and there were no recurrent cases. Conclusions Our data revealed that OD frequently presented as the initial or even the only symptom among imported cases. Most OD improvements occurred in the first 2 weeks after onset, and patients with COVID-19 and OD had favorable treatment outcomes during long-term follow-up. A better understanding of the pathogenesis and appropriate treatment of OD is needed to guide clinicians in the care of these patients.
