Based on previous research on the promoting effect of dendrobium officinale polysaccharides (DOP) on hair growth, this study aimed to regulate the skin keratin penetration and hair follicle targeting ability of DOP through molecular weight and nano-carriers to enhance its therapeutic effect on androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Three molecular weight polysaccharides, namely high (DOP), medium (MDOP), and low (LDOP), were prepared by mannanase hydrolysis, and the corresponding liposomes (DOP-lip/MDOP-lip/LDOP-lip) were constructed. Studies have shown that DOP liposomes can effectively achieve follicular targeted delivery and promote efficient uptake by human dermal papilla cells through caveolin-mediated pathways. In the testosterone-induced AGA mouse model, LDOP-lip demonstrated excellent therapeutic effects, restoring the number and morphology of hair follicles to nearly normal levels. In summary, DOP liposomes show significant potential for promoting hair follicle repair through precise delivery and efficient cellular uptake.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as a treasure of the Chinese nation, plays a significant role in maintaining public health. In 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council proposed for the first time the establishment of a TCM registration and evaluation evidence system that integrates TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials (referred to as the "Three-in-One" System) to promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM. Subsequently, the National Medical Products Administration issued several guiding principles to advance the improvement and implementation of this system. Owing to the complexity of its implementation, there are still differing understandings within the TCM industry regarding the positioning of the "Three-in-One" Registration and Evaluation Evidence System, as well as the connotation and value orientation of the "personal experience." To address this, Academician WANG Qi, President of the TCM Association, China International Exchange and Promotion Association for Medical and Healthcare and TCM master, led a group of academicians, TCM masters, TCM pharmacology experts and clinical TCM experts to convene a "Seminar on Promoting the Implementation of the ′Three-in-One′ Registration and Evaluation Evidence System for Chinese Medicinals." Through extensive discussions, an expert consensus was formed, clarifying the different roles of the TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials within the system. It was further emphasized that the "personal experience" is the core of this system, and its data should be derived from clinical practice scenarios. In the future, the improvement of this system will require collaborative efforts across multiple fields to promote the high-quality development of the Chinese medicinal industry.

Objective To explore the short-term efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the treatment of early carcinoma in the remnant stomach. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 45 patients with early residual gastric cancer underwent ESD at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from December 2014 to April 2024, with a total of 45 lesions. The patients were divided into an anastomotic group (n=15) and a non-anastomotic group (n=30) based on the location of tumor occurrence, and their clinical data, endoscopic diagnosis and treatment, and histopathological conditions were compared between the two groups. Results All 45 patients had lesions with redness and erosion. There were 9 cases of poor lifting of submucosal injection in the anastomotic group and 2 cases in the non-anastomotic group, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ESD surgery was performed on 13 lesions in the anastomotic group and 28 lesions in the non-anastomotic group, with surgery times of 80.00 (50.00, 100.00) min and 55.00 (43.75, 80.00) min, respectively. The difference in surgery time between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.03). Among the 45 patients, ESD surgery achieved curative resection in 35 cases, including 11 cases in the anastomotic group and 24 cases in the non-anastomotic group, with no statistically significant difference. Conclusions Careful preoperative evaluation of early carcinoma in the remnant stomach is essential to prevent oversight. Lesions at anastomotic sites and suture lines present higher technical challenges for complete resection. ESD is safe and effective, with auxiliary traction technique available when necessary.

Objective To propose an EBT3 film technology-based quality control measurement method for the INTRABEAM PRS500 intraoperative radiotherapy equipment to solve the problems of the traditional methods in cumbersome operation and setup error.Methods According to HJ 1198-2021 Requirements of radiation safety and protection for radiotherapy and GBZ 121-2020 Requirements for radiological protection in radiotherapy,the environmental radiation testing of the INTRABEAM PRS500 intraoperative radiotherapy equipment was carried out point by point by means of the radiation inspection instrument.The INTRABEAM PRS500 intraoperative radiotherapy equipment was characterized by a point X-ray source(XRS),and the XRS was detected in terms of the probe linearity,radiation dose,dynamic deviation,isotropy and dose rate.The EBT3 film technology was used to verify the symmetry and isotropy of the XRS planar dose of INTRABEAM PRS500 intraoperative radiotherapy equipment.Results The X-γ dose equivalent rate of each monitoring site of the INTRABEAM PRS500 intraoperative radiotherapy device was lower than the method detection limit(MDL).The results of SQA quality control showed that the INTRABEAM PRS500 intraoperative radiotherapy equipment XRS met the quality control requirements in terms of the probe linearity,radiation dose,dynamic deviation and etc,and the isotropy differences in the+X,-X,+Y,and-Y axis directions ranged from-1.40％to 1.79％,which were all within the allowable range of measurement tolerance(5.60％to 5.65％).The results of measuring the isotropy of the INTRABEAM PRS500 intraoperative radiotherapy equipment based on the EBT3 film technology showed that the dose distribution of the XRS in the directions of the+X,-X,+Y,and-Y axes at the same plane was well isotropic,and that the doses in the directions of the X and Y axes were symmetrically distributed,and that the maximum skewness value for the isotropy of the XRS in the XY plane was-1.581％,which met the requirements of AAPM TG61 report on the reference dosimetry of low-energy and medium-energy X-rays for radiotherapy and radiobiology of≤±5.3％.Conclusion The EBT3 film technology-based measurement method gains high simplicity and feasibility for the isotropy of the INTRABEAM PRS500 intraoperative radiotherapy equipment in the directions of the+X,-X,+Y,and-Y axes at the same planet,which realizes the dynamic monitoring of the dosimetric changes and facilitates the whole-process quality control management of the intraoperative radiotherapy equipment.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):47-53]

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of endothelial activation and stress index(EASIX)for the prognosis of patients with mantle cell lymphoma(MCL).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted to assess prognosis and compare the clinical features of patients diagnosed with MCL who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to June 2023,had therapeutic indications and received standard treatment.Results:A total of 66 patients were included and divided into high EASIX group and low EASIX group,according to a cutoff value of 0.97 determined by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that prealbumin＜0.2 g/L,high EASIX,and ECOG PS score ≥2 were independent risk factors influencing overall survival(OS)in MCL patients.The median OS of patients in the high and low EASIX group was 13.0 and 37.5 months,and the median progression-free survival was 8.8 and 26.0 months,respectively.The proportions of patients with ECOG PS score ≥2 and prealbumin＜0.2 g/L at onset significantly increased in the high EASIX group compared to those in the low EASIX group.Conclusion:At the time of initial diagnosis,EASIX can serve as an independent prognostic indicator impacting OS in patients with MCL.Furthermore,patients in the high EASIX group experience a poorer prognosis and shorter survival duration compared with those in the low EASIX group.

Objective:To explore the changes of serum histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2), lonely G protein-coupled receptor ligand (Apelin) and B-type brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the predictive value for prognosis.Methods:A retrospective selection was made of 100 COPD patients (COPD group) admitted to the Fourth People's Hospital of Langfang from May 2022 to May 2023 and 50 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same period (healthy control group) as the research subjects. The levels of serum HDAC2, Apelin and BNP in the two groups were compared. The levels of HDAC2, Apelin and BNP in COPD patients with different clinical characteristics were compared. The correlation among serum HDAC2, Apelin and BNP in COPD patients were analyzed by Spearman test. The predictive value of serum HDAC2, Apelin and BNP for the prognosis of patients with COPD was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The level of HDAC2 in the COPD group was lower than that in the healthy control group, the levels of Apelin and BNP were higher than those in the healthy control group: (2.38 ± 0.56) U/L vs. (7.51 ± 1.33) U/L, (491.62 ± 53.82) ng/L vs. (337.19 ± 46.52) ng/L, (211.05 ± 23.46) ng/L vs. (37.52 ± 4.32) ng/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). COPD patients with different clinical characteristics, including those in acute exacerbation and stable stages, mild, moderate and severe cases, COPD patients with pulmonary function grades Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ, COPD patients with and without pulmonary hypertension, and patients with poor prognosis and good prognosis, there were statistically significant differences in the levels of HDAC2, Apelin and BNP ( P<0.05). The Spearman test results indicated that in COPD patients, serum HDAC2 was negatively correlated with Apelin ( r = - 0.469, P = 0.001), HDAC2 was negatively correlated with BNP ( r = - 0.435, P = 0.001), and Apelin was positively correlated with BNP ( r = 0.418, P = 0.001). The results of ROC curve analysis indicated that the combined detection of HDAC2, Apelin and BNP had the highest area under the curve for predicting the prognosis of COPD patients (0.954), with a sensitivity of 81.66%. Conclusions:COPD patients have lower HDAC2 and higher Apelin and BNP levels. The three indicators are correlated to a certain extent, and their levels are closely related to the clinical characteristics of patients. The combined detection of the three indicators can be used as important predictive indicators for the prognosis of COPD patients.
