Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly malignant tumor with poor prognosis. In the process of clinical diagnosis and treatment, only a small number of patients can receive surgical treatment in time, and the rest often have local infiltration or distant metastasis at the time of presentation, which can only prolong the overall survival by adjuvant therapy. At present, the main adjuvant treatments in clinical practice include chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. This article reviews the progress of systemic therapy and some clinical trials in patients with advanced unresectable ICC, to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ICC.

Colaizzi 7-step analysis method in phenomenological research was used to analyze data.Results:The core competence model of neurology nurses were summarized into 7 themes, including clinical competence (symptom assessment ability of neurological diseases, critical rescue ability of neurological diseases, specialized skills related to neurological disease treatment), research ability, teaching ability, management ability, personal quality (communication ability, learning ability, teamwork ability), professional quality (patience, responsibility, love, empathy), and the supervision ability of neurology head nurses over nurses (development of continuing education on neurological diseases, promotion of career planning for neurology nurses) .Conclusions:The analysis of the core competence of Neurology nurses provides a basis for improving nursing quality, promoting disease prognosis for patients with neurological disorders, and enhancing their quality of life.

Crohn′s disease (CD) -related anorectal stricture is a narrowing lesion that occurs in the distal part of the gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms of anorectal stricture in CD are not obvious in the early stage, but in the later stage, manifest difficulty in defecation, fecal incontinence, and persistent anal pain, often requiring repeated medical and surgical treatment, leading to a dramatic decrease in the patient′s quality of life. The presence of anorectal stricture in patients with CD usually indicates that the intestinal tract, especially rectal inflammation, is not controlled, and the probability of diverting stoma or rectal resection is significantly increased. Clinical diagnosis requires comprehensive detailed physical examination, endoscopy and biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. Treatment is based on medical therapy, supplemented by endoscopic and instrumental anal surgical intervention when necessary, but there is a lack of standardized treatment protocols. This article reviews the existing pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment modalities of this disease to help with clinical diagnosis and treatment.
