In recent years,the application of immunotherapy has improved the prognosis of relapsed/refractory(R/R)B cell-acute lympho-blastic leukemia(B-ALL).Blinatumomab,Inotuzumab ozogamicin(InO),and chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)T-cell therapies are the three major immunotherapeutic agents approved for the treatment of R/R B-ALL.This new strategy incorporates immunotherapy into the first line of treatment to reduce the adverse effects of chemotherapy,prolong survival,and expand treatment options for elderly patients.This art-icle discusses new approaches for incorporating immunotherapeutic agents into firstline B-ALL treatment regimens,exploring the potential value of chemotherapy-free regimens in specific patient subgroups,to provide guidance for clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of anxiety and depression in prostate cancer patients after castration, and establish a risk prediction model.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 60 prostate cancer patients treated in Xi′an People′s Hospital from January 2019 to January 2022. The patients were divided into a training group ( n=42) and a validation group ( n=18) at a ratio of 7∶3. The patients received surgical castration and medical castration. One month after castration, the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the anxiety symptoms and depression levels of the patients, respectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors for negative emotions in prostate cancer patients after castration, and a risk prediction model was established. Results:In the training group, 19 patients had a SAS score ≥50, and 21 patients had an SDS score ≥50. Based on these scores, the training group was divided into a negative emotion group ( n=19) and an emotional stability group ( n=23). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that marital status, castration scheme, and postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score were independent influencing factors for negative emotions in prostate cancer patients after castration ( OR=3.589, 3.364, 5.912, all P<0.05). In both the training group and the validation group, the risk scores of patients with negative emotions were significantly higher than those with emotional stability. In the training group, the area under the curve (AUC) of the risk prediction model for predicting negative emotions was 0.747, with a specificity of 71.02% and a sensitivity of 66.11%; in the validation group, the AUC, specificity, and sensitivity were 0.761, 66.59%, and 76.21%, respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that χ 2 was 4.285 6, P value was 0.830, and the c-index was 0.773(0.692-0.854). The calibration curve showed that the predicted curve was basically consistent with the actual curve, indicating that the prediction model had good discriminative ability and accuracy. Decision curve analysis showed that the model had high clinical significance. Conclusions:Marital status, castration scheme, and postoperative VAS score are important factors affecting anxiety and depression in prostate cancer patients after castration, and the regression model can successfully predict the risk of negative emotions.

At present,the laboratory medicine industry in China has developed rapidly,with various new technologies and methods emerge one after another. However,the current training process of laboratory medicine technology professionals still follows a training model that emphasizes theyory over practice,and the quality of training personnel is far from the requirments of the current development of the laboratory medicine industry in China. In order to effectively alleviate the current situation of the shortage of practical high-quality laboratory medicine talents,it is urgent to reform the teaching of laboratory medicine. The author of this paper puts forward the "Four-in-one" personnel training mode which is suitable for the development of laboratory medicine in China. It is proposed to explore a new teaching mode on the basis of the existing one,giving full play to the students' initiative and innovation,and providing new ideas for training high-quality laboratory medicine professionals.

Objective:To analyze the epidemic characteristics of human brucellosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and to provide a basis for formulating targeted intervention strategies and implementation measures.Methods:The data of brucellosis cases with onset date from 2014 to 2023 and current address in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were collected from the Chinese Disease Control and Prevention Information System. Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the three-dimensional distribution of human brucellosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Results:From 2014 to 2023, a total of 131 201 brucellosis cases were reported in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with no death and an average annual incidence rate of 52.90/100 000. The lowest incidence was in 2016 (6 567 cases, 26.15/100 000), and the highest was in 2021 (21 910 cases, 91.14/100 000). All 12 cities (leagues) in the region had reported cases of brucellosis, with Tongliao City (27 012 cases), Chifeng City (15 286 cases), Hinggan League (14 859 cases), Hulunbuir (12 235 cases) and Ulanqab (11 972 cases) ranking among the top 5 cities (leagues) in terms of reported cases. Among the cases, 90 455 (68.94%) were males, with a incidence rate of 70.93/100 000, and 40 746 (31.06%) were females, with a incidence rate of 33.70/100 000. The age of onset is mainly 50 and less than 60 years old (37 610 cases, 28.67%). The occupational distribution was mainly farmers (102 091 cases, 77.81%), followed by herdsmen (13 209 cases, 10.07%).Conclusions:The incidence of human brucellosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is at a relatively high level, particularly showing an upward trend from 2016 to 2021. Cities such as Tongliao City, Chifeng City and Hinggan League have a relatively high incidence of brucellosis. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of brucellosis in these areas, implement prevention and control measures, and closely monitor the changes in the trend of human brucellosis outbreaks. Farmers and herdsmen are the primary high-risk groups, and it is recommended to enhance health education and behavioral interventions for these key populations.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction in the intervention of early traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes after ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) intervention. Methods: From October 2020 to July 2023, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to include 60 patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis, and phlegm obstruction syndrome after ICVD interventional therapy. They were assigned to the Yiqi Tongluo Decoction treatment group (30 cases) and the TCM placebo routine treatment control group (30 cases) according to the randomized block design. Both groups received routine standardized treatment of Western medicine, including dual antiplatelet, lipid regulation, and control of risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. The treatment group was treated with Yiqi Tongluo Decoction based on the control group. The course of treatment was 60 days and follow-up was carried out 2 and 6 months after the operation. The improvement of qi deficiency syndrome, blood stasis syndrome, phlegm syndrome score and TCM syndrome score, modified Rankin score (mRS), Barthel index (BI) score, Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) level, incidence of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and ischemic stroke (IS) and incidence of adverse reactions, Head and neck CT angiography (CTA) or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination were collected. The clinical efficacy of the patients 2 months after the operation was taken as the main outcome index to preliminarily evaluate the early and long-term efficacy of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction after the ICVD intervention. The early and long-term clinical efficacy and safety of Western medicine standardized treatment combined with TCM Yiqi Tongluo Decoction on patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome after ICVD intervention were evaluated. The safety of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction in the treatment of patients after ICVD intervention with white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen (FIB), plasminogen time (PT), recurrence of cerebral ischaemia and restenosis in patients at 2 and 6 months after treatment were evaluated. Results: Compared to the control group, the TCM syndrome scores for qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm syndrome in the treatment group reduced significantly, the clinical efficacy improved significantly, the mRS score and FABP4 were reduced, and the BI score was increased. Adverse events such as cerebral ischaemia were fewer in the treatment group than in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant; levels of CRP, WBC and PT were reduced, and levels of FIB were reduced at 6 months post-treatment, all P<0.01, and images were intuitively compared. The treatment group was superior to the control group. Conclusion Yiqi Tongluo Decoction combined with Western medicine standard treatment can improve the early clinical efficacy of ICVD patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome after interventional surgery, improve neurological impairment and daily living ability, reduce the state of qi deficiency syndrome, blood stasis syndrome and phlegm syndrome after interventional surgery, and improve the clinical efficacy of TCM. At the same time, it can reduce the level of FABP4, the target of atherosclerosis and restenosis after interventional surgery, reduce the level of inflammation after interventional surgery in patients with ICVD, regulate coagulation function, and reduce the incidence of long-term recurrence of cerebral ischemia after interventional surgery, with good safety.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of breakthrough varicella cases in Fengxian District of Shanghai from 2007 to 2023,so as to provide a reference for the effective prevention and control of varicella epidemic.Methods The reported cases of varicella in Fengxian District of Shanghai from 2007 to 2023 were collected by China Information System for Diseases Control and Prevention.The immunization history information of varicella cases was obtained from Shanghai Immunization Program Information System and analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods.Results A total of 2 175 breakthrough varicella cases were reported in Fengxian District of Shanghai from 2007 to 2023.The proportion of breakthrough cases in each year was from 0.64% to 36.29% with statistically significant difference(χ~2=1 144.60,P <0.01).The varicella breakthrough cases were mainly concentrated in the 3-11 age group,and the primary cases were concentrated in the 5-11 and 15-20 age groups,with breakthrough cases skewed towards younger ages.The varicella breakthrough cases were predominantly preschool children and lower-grade students,while primary cases were more common among lower-grade students and university students,displaying a statistically significant difference(χ~2=242.89,P <0.01).The incidence of varicella showed a peak during the winter season,and the highest incidence of varicella breakthrough cases occurred in 3-7 years after vaccination.Since the adjustment of varicella vaccination program in 2017,the incidence of varicella among children aged 1-6 years showed a downward trend(R=-0.009,P=0.000).Conclusion From 2007 to 2023,the proportion of varicella breakthrough cases in Fengxian District of Shanghai showed a consistent increasing trend.The continuous monitoring of varicella and publicity should be strengthened in schools and kindergartens.It is of substantial significance to strengthen immunization three years after the first dose of vaccine.The adjustment of varicella immunization program has achieved remarkable results.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism by which Huangqi Baijiang Yiren decoction （HBY） repairs the intestinal mucosal injury in the rat model of ulcerative colitis （UC） via the miR-21/suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 （SOCS1）/Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 （STAT6） signaling pathway. MethodsSixty SPF-grade male SD rats were randomly assigned into six groups： blank， model， low-dose （3.68 g·kg^-1） HBY， medium-dose （7.35 g·kg^-1） HBY， high-dose （14.5 g·kg^-1） HBY， and mesalazine （0.035 g·kg^-1）， with 10 rats in each group. The rat model of UC was established in other groups except the blank group by 3% dextran sulfate sodium solution. The rats were administrated with corresponding drugs once a day for 7 consecutive days since the 3th day after modeling. The histopathological changes of the colon were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining， and the Robarts histopathology index （RHI） was scored. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines ［interleukin （IL）-6， IL-18， IL-1β， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）］ in the serum. Real-time PCR was employed to determine the mRNA levels of miR-21， SOCS1， JAK1， and STAT6 in the colon tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of SOCS1， JAK1， phosphorylated （p）-JAK1， STAT6， p-STAT6， Occludin， and Claudin-1 in the colon tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group showed an increase in disease activity index （DAI） （P<0.01）， shortening of colon length （P<0.01）， severe histopathological damage in the colon tissue， and an increase in RHI， rises in serum levels of IL-6， IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.01）， up-regulation in mRNA levels of miR-21， JAK1， and STAT6 and protein levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 （P<0.01）， and down-regulation in mRNA and protein levels of SOCS1 and protein levels of Occludin and Claudin-1 （P<0.01）. The treatment with HBY reduced the DAI （P<0.01）， alleviated colon shortening and histopathological damage in the colon tissue， decreased the RHI （P<0.01）， lowered the serum levels of IL-6， IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.01）， down-regulated the mRNA levels of miR-21， JAK1， and STAT6 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， up-regulated the mRNA level of SOCS1 （P<0.05）， up-regulated the protein levels of SOCS1， Occludin， and Claudin-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and down-regulated the protein levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionHBY may modulate the miR-21/SOCS1/JAK1/STAT6 signaling pathway to suppress inflammatory responses and restore the intestinal mucosal barrier in UC rats.

Objective To explore the clinical and pathological characteristics of medullary thyroid carcinoma(MTC)combined with papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC),and to improve the detection rate of mixed thyroid tumors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinicopathological data of 11 cases of MTC combined with PTC diagnosed in the Department of Pathology,Jiangsu Province Hospital on Integration of Chinese and Western Medicine from April 2010 to April 2025,and analysis.Results Among the 11 patients,there were 4 males and 7 females with a median age of 57 years.The preoperative puncture pathology of 11 cases was not diagnosed as MTC combined with PTC.All patients underwent intraoperative rapid pathological diagnosis.Among them,5 cases were MTC combined with PTC,3 cases were PTC combined with thyroid follicular neoplasm,and the rest were diagnosed with single tumor(PTC or MTC).Conventional pathology diagnosed that all 11 patients had MTC combined with PTC,among which 2 cases were mixed MTC-PTC,and 6 cases were combined with multinodular goiter,and 3 cases combined with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.The histological morphology of MTC and PTC was diverse,presenting in arrangements such as papillary,island,follicular or solid.MTC cells are round,oval,spindle-shaped or plasma cell-like,with indistinct boundaries.The cytoplasm is eosinophilic,bicolotropic or transparent.The nucleus is round,irregular or spindle-shaped,with rough chromatin that does not have the characteristics of PTC cell nuclei.Amyloid deposits are seen in the interstitium.Immunohistochemistry expresses calcitonin(CT)and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),but does not express thyroglobulin(Tg).Special staining shows Congo red as brick red,and under a polarizing microscope,it appears as a refractive apple green.The nuclei of PTC cells are round or oval,and the cytoplasm is eosinophilic or bicolotropic.The nuclei are enlarged and arranged in a crowded manner.Nuclear grooves and pseudo-inclusions within the nucleus can be seen.Immunohistochemistry expressed thyroid transcription factor-1,paired box gene 8,and mesothelial cell membrane protein protenin mesothelial cell membrane protenin-1,Tg,galectin-3,cytokeratin are not expressed.CT and CEA are not expressed.Special staining is negative for Congo red.Conclusion MTC combined with PTC is relatively rare.There are no special manifestations in clinical features and imaging examinations.Preoperative puncture pathology and intraoperative rapid pathology are difficult to make a clear diagnosis.Clinicians and pathologists should avoid missed diagnoses or misdiagnoses.

Objective To investigate the value of serum α-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase(α-HBDH),cysteine-rich protein 61(CYR61)and gasdermin D(GSDMD)level testing in patients with sepsis-combined cardiomyopathy for clinical diagnosis and prognostic assessment.Methods A total of 244 sepsis patients who underwent consultation and treatment in Baotou Central Hospital from May 2020 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects,and were separated into a study group(combined cardiomyopathy,n=106)and a control group(uncombined cardiomyopathy,n=138)according to whether they were combined cardiomyopathy or not.The levels of α-HBDH,CYR61 and GSDMD were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method.Pearson and Spearman methods were used to analyze the correlation of α-HBDH,CYR61,and GSDMD with systolic and diastolic blood pressure,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHE II)score.Multifactorial Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting sepsis-combined cardiomyopathy.Receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curves were used to assess the diagnostic value of α-HBDH,CYR61 and GSDMD for sepsis-combined cardiomyopathy and their validity for prognostic prediction.Results Serum α-HBDH(278.35±18.89ng/ml vs 253.47±12.75ng/ml),CYR61(18.23±4.14mg/L vs 14.48±2.67mg/L)and GSDMD(12.39±3.28mg/L vs 9.46±2.17mg/L)levels were higher in the study group compared to the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=12.261,8.572,8.377,all P<0.05).The levels of α-HBDH(291.93±19.22ng/ml),CYR61(20.33±3.43mg/L)and GSDMD(14.01±3.09mg/L)were higher in the death patients compared to the survived patients(268.71±13.09ng/ml,16.74±2.88mg/L,11.24±2.55mg/L),and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.402,5.839,5.044,all P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that α-HBDH,CYR61,and GSDMD were negatively correlated with systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and LVEF(r=-0.631～-0.422,all P<0.05),α-HBDH,CYR61,GSDMD were negatively correlated with APACHE II score(r=0.531,0.507,0.611,all P<0.05).Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis showed that systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,and LVEF were protective factors affecting sepsis-combined cardiomyopathy(Wald χ2=6.823,7.986,10.875,all P<0.05),and α-HBDH,CYR61,and GSDMD were risk factors affecting sepsis-combined cardiomyopathy(Wald χ2=9.376,6.849,7.435,all P<0.05).From the ROC curve analysis,it was known that the combined application of α-HBDH,CYR61,and GSDMD was more effective in the diagnosis of sepsis-combined cardiomyopathy(Z=2.369,2.454,2.573),the combined application of α-HBDH,CYR61,and GSDMD were superior for prognostic prediction in sepsis-combined cardiomyopathy(Z=2.352,2.468,2.581),and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion Serum α-HBDH,CYR61 and GSDMD levels are increased in patients with sepsis-combined cardiomyopathy,and they are correlated with prognosis.The combination of these three tests has a higher diagnostic value and prognostic value in sepsis combined cardiomyopathy.
