Breast cancer prevention and treatment have become major issues that urgently need to be addressed in the field of global public health. As a key pathological transitional stage in the progression of breast cancer， preneoplastic breast cancer （PBC） carries a significant risk of clinical transformation. Effective intervention in the progression of PBC is of great clinical significance in preventing the occurrence of breast cancer. Pathological studies have shown that abnormal angiogenesis is a key mechanism driving the transformation of PBC into breast cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， as a core regulatory molecule that promotes angiogenesis， plays a pivotal role in this process. The malignant transformation of PBC is closely associated with the abnormal activation of the VEGF-mediated pro-angiogenic network. Although modern medicine has achieved certain therapeutic effects through surgery and endocrine therapy， clinical limitations such as invasiveness， drug resistance， and adverse reactions still exist. Recent studies have demonstrated that the VEGF signaling system mediates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway and the mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） pathway. In addition， the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α）/VEGF signaling pathway and the delta-like ligand 4 （DLL4）/Notch receptor 1 （Notch1） signaling pathway， together with other pathways， form a complex regulatory network that plays a central role in angiogenesis during PBC. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， characterized by multi-component synergy， multi-pathway regulation， and high safety， demonstrates significant advantages in inhibiting pathological angiogenesis and blocking PBC progression by targeting the VEGF signaling pathway. From the perspective of VEGF pathway regulation， this paper systematically reviews the latest research progress on TCM in inhibiting angiogenesis and intervening in PBC， and discusses its mechanisms and application value in the early prevention and treatment of PBC， with the aim of providing references for optimizing clinical intervention strategies for PBC.

Objective In order to understand the current resistance status of Aedes albopictus(Ae. albopictus) adult population to commonly used insecticides and the resistance dynamics development in Zhejiang Province and provide a theoretical basis for the scientific and rational use of hygienic insecticides. Methods Resistance determination was carried out using the diagnostic dose method(GB/T 26347-2010)recommended by WHO in the adult mosquito contact cylinder method to monitor the resistance of Ae. albopictus field populations in 11 cities and districts in Zhejiang Province in 2024. Results The monitoring result showed that adult Ae. albopictus in 11 areas were resistant or suspected resistant populations to both cis-cypermethrin and permethrin; suspected and resistant populations to the organophosphate insecticide malathion were as high as 81.82%; while suspected resistance to the carbamate insecticide residual carbofuran accounted for 45.45%, and the rest of the monitoring sites were sensitive to it. Conclusions The result suggest that the generalized resistance of Ae. albopictus populations to pyrethroids and organophosphorus insecticides in the field in Zhejiang Province needs to be highly emphasized. In future mosquito vector and mosquito-borne disease control, insecticides should be selected based on the resistance monitoring information, while following scientific guidelines for insecticide use.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of Slc1a2 overexpression on cognitive dysfunction in sleep-deprived mice.Methods A total of 130 mice were divided into five groups:normal sleep(NS),NS+ov-Slc1a2,sleep deprivation(SD),SD+ov-NC,and SD+ov-Slc1a2,with 26 mice in each group.The SD mice model was established using an automatic system based on a rotating rod,and overexpress Slc1a2 adenovirus was injected into the prefrontal cortex(PFC).Immunofluorescence and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of Slc1a2 in the mouse PFC.Electrophysiological tests were used to evaluate non-rapid eye movement(NREM)sleep time,rapid eye movement(REM)sleep time,and wakefulness time in mice.Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of glutamate(Glu)and gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA)metabolic enzymes in the mouse PFC.Whole-cell patch-clamp recording was used to detect the frequency and amplitude of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents(mEPSC)in mouse PFC.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the proportion of GABA-positive cells in the mouse PFC.The C11-BODIPY fluorescent probe was used to detect lipid reac-tive oxygen species(ROS)levels in mouse PFC.Commercial kits were used to detect Fe2+and malondialdehyde(MDA)levels in the mouse PFC.Cognitive function in mice was evaluated using the open field,novel object recognition,and Y-maze tests.Results Compared with the NS group,the NREM sleep time,REM sleep time,central area stay time,recognition index,and novel wall selection index increased significantly,while wakefulness time decreased significantly in the NS+ov-Slc1a2 group(all P＜0.05).The percentage of Slc1a2+GFAP+cells,expression of Slc1a2 protein,expression of Glul,Slc6a1,and Abat mRNA,frequency and amplitude of mEPSC,and proportion of GABA-positive cells in the PFC increased significantly,whereas lipid ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).Compared with the NS group,the NREM sleep time,REM sleep time,central area stay time,recognition index,and novel wall selection index of the SD group and the SD+ov-NC group were significantly decreased,whereas wakefulness time was significantly increased(all P＜0.05).The percentage of Slc1a2+GFAP+cells,expression of Slc1a2 protein,expression of Glul,Slc6a1,and Abat mRNA,frequency and amplitude of mEPSC,and proportion of GABA-positive cells in the mouse PFC decreased significantly,whereas lipid ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels increased significantly(all P＜0.05).Compared with the SD and SD+ov-NC groups,the NREM sleep time,REM sleep time,central area stay time,recognition index,and novel wall selection index of the SD+ov-Slc1a2 group increased significantly,whereas the wakeful-ness time decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).The percentage of Slc1a2+GFAP+cells,the expression of Slc1a2 protein,the expression of Glul,Slc6a1,and Abat mRNA,the frequency and amplitude of mEPSC,and the proportion of GABA-positive cells in the mouse PFC increased significantly,whereas lipid ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Ectopic overexpres-sion of Slc1a2 in the PFC can improve sleep disorders in SD mice,reduce the damage caused by SD to excitatory synaptic transmission and GABAergic neuron function in the PFC,and alleviate cognitive impairment and anxiety-like behavior in these mice.Its mechanism may be related to the improvement of Glu/GABA metabolic imbalance in the PFC and inhibition of ferroptosis.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide and has drawn extensive research attention.Owing to its molecular heterogeneity,drug resistance,and low therapeutic response,single-modality treatments often fail to achieve satisfactory efficacy or broad applicability.Combination therapy,designed based on the pathophysiological characteristics,related signaling pathways,and biomarkers of breast cancer,has emerged as a promising approach for improving therapeutic outcomes.With the advancement of research on combination strategies,the understanding of their molecular mechanisms—particularly key signaling pathways and biomarkers—has become increasingly important.However,comprehensive reviews addressing these molecular mechanisms and synergistic strategies remain scarce.This article summarizes recent advances in combination therapy for breast cancer,providing a comprehensive review of recent combination therapies for breast cancer and their underlying molecular mechanisms,and focusing on key signaling pathways involved in combination therapy and synergistic strategies,thereby providing theoretical insights and reference for researchers,graduate students,and clinicians engaged in the development of novel combination therapeutic strategies for breast cancer and related malignancies.

Salivary gland tumor is one of the most common tumors in oral and maxillofacial regions.The diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland tumors had been a clinical characteristic project in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology since long time ago.Here we introduced the research pro-gress in diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland tumors during the past 10 years.Among 7 190 cases of salivary gland tumors treated in this institution,4 654 cases(64.7％)were benign,and 2 536(35.3％)were malignant,with benign:malignant ratio of 1.84∶1.Parotid was the most common loca-tion,followed by minor salivary gland and submandibular gland,while sublingular gland tumor was sel-dom seen.The proportion of minor salivary gland tumor was relatively high.Among 1 874 cases with pri-mary malignant tumors,the cases with T3 and stage Ⅲ accounted for only 9.6％and 10.3％,respec-tively,which indicated that there was shortcoming in the T classification and clinical stage formulated by Union for International Cancer Control(UICC),and further revision was required.The 5,10,and 15 year survival rates of 1 637 cases with postoperative follow-up were 93.1％,87.2％and 79.3％,respec-tively,which were much higher than those we reported 30 years ago.The improvement of treatment re-sults was related to more widely used combined treatment with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy,and the increase in patients with early stage.Adenoid cystic carcinoma was the malignant tumor with high rate of distant metastasis.The 5 and 10 year survival rates of the patients with pulmonary metastasis were 76.2％and 51.8％,respectively,which indicated that the pulmonary metastatic carcinomas developed slowly.Recurrent rate of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma was 46.7％after single treatment of sur-gery,while it decreased to 27.5％after combined theraphy with surgery and radiotherapy,indicating that postoperative radiotheraphy could reduce the recurrent rate effectively.The normal myoepithelial cells had the inhibiting role in the invasion and metastasis of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.The evaluation of integrity of myoepithelial cells surrounding the tumor mass is helpful to understand the invasiveness of the tumors.The new surgical modalities such as extracapsular resection and partial sialoadenectomy were used in treatment of benign tumors of parotid gland and submandibular gland with advantages of decreased tissue damage and preservation of glandular function.Application of digital surgical techniques such as mixed reality combined with surgical navigation and real-time three-dimensional holograms in the surgical treatment of parotid gland tumors showed the benefits of more safety and precision,and less tissue da-mage.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of patients with traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) and to explore its clinical patterns and treatment outcomes.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 323 patients (334 eyes) with TON, who were treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from April 1999 to October 2024. Among these patients, 288 were male and 35 were female, with ages ranging from 4 to 70 years. All patients were followed up for a period of 6 to 24 months, with the final follow-up visual acuity recorded as the ultimate visual outcome. The visual acuity evaluation criteria were classified into five levels: no light perception, light perception, hand movement in front of the eye, counting fingers at 1 meter, and "chart-visible acuity". A treatment outcome was deemed effective if the post-treatment visual acuity improved by one level or more compared to pre-treatment, or if the chart-visible acuity improved by two lines or more on the logMAR chart. The clinical characteristics of patients, causes of injury, complications, treatment methods, and changes in visual acuity before and after treatment were summarized. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the influencing factors affecting treatment efficacy.Results:TON occurred mostly in young (215/323, 66.56%) males (288/323, 89.16%), the majority of patients came from villages and towns (236/323, 73.07%). Traffic accidents (232/323, 71.83%) remained the main etiology. Most patients had craniofacial injuries and other bodily injuries. The effective rate of vision improvement was 50.30% (168/334). Multiple logistic regression analyses identified that residual vision (light perception or better) at presentation ( OR=3.26, P<0.001) and receiving treatment within 7 days after injury ( OR=2.04, P=0.008) were protective factors on visual acuity recovery, while the presence of orbital wall fracture was a risk factor for visual acuity recovery ( OR=0.26, P<0.001). Additionally, undergoing surgical treatment was a protective factor for visual improvement in patients with no light perception ( OR=2.94, P=0.007). For patients with residual vision at presentation, orbital wall fracture was a significant risk factor ( OR=0.28, P=0.009). Conclusions:TON is more prevalent in young males and is primarily caused by traffic accidents, leading to a poor prognosis. Timely medical intervention following injury significantly influences prognostic outcomes. Early surgical intervention (within 7 days) is recommended, particularly for patients with no light perception at presentation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of elimination,combination,rearrangement and simplification(ECRS)management combined with risk assessment on reducing the incidence of multidrug-resistant bacteria infections of patients who received mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods:The management mode of prevention and control for multidrug-resistant bacteria infections of patients in ICU was optimized on the basis of ECRS management combined with risk assessment.A total of 600 patients who received mechanical ventilation in ICU of Jiuquan Hospital of Shanghai General Hospital(Jiuquan People's Hospital)from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected.According to different management methods,these patients were divided into a control group and an observation group,with 300 cases in each group.The control group was managed by using the risk assessment management method,while the observation group was managed by using the ECRS management on the basis of risk assessment management method.The indicators of respiratory function,patients'satisfaction score,stay time in ICU,time of mechanical ventilation and incidence of multidrug-resistant bacteria were compared between the two groups.Results:The mean value of the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)to forced vital capacity(FVC)(FEV1/FVC),and the FEV1 level in observation group by using ECRS management combined with risk assessment method were respectively(78.69±4.65)%and(1.58±0.24)L,both of which were higher than those of control group,and the differences of them between two groups were statistically significant(t=16.483,11.742,P<0.05).The average scores of work efficiency,emergency response capability,professional ethics,isolation and resettlement,and overall patients'satisfaction in the observation group were respectively(23.12±1.20),(23.34±1.08),(23.65±1.10),(23.80±1.05)and(92.24±4.37),all of which were higher than those in the control group,and the differences of them between two groups were statistically significant(t=22.176,27.903,22.373,31.364,13.963,P<0.05).The average ICU stay time and the average time of mechanical ventilation were respectively(14.15±1.60)and(9.15±2.13)days in the observation group,both of which were lower than those in the control group,and the differences of them between two groups were statistically significant(t=16.872,15.410,P<0.05).The incidence of multidrug-resistant bacteria was 0.33%in 300 patients of the observation group,which was lower than that of the control group,with a statistically significant difference(x2=4.561,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of ECRS management combined with risk assessment in the management of ICU for patients who receive mechanical ventilation can protect respiratory function of patients,and decrease the risk of occurring the infection of multidrug-resistant bacteria,and reduce ICU stay time and the time of mechanical ventilation of patients,and improve patients'satisfaction.
