Virus-related lymphoma exhibits a dual nature as both a hematologic malignancy and a viral infectious disease, making it more resistant to treatment and associated with poorer prognosis. This paper analyzes the understanding and therapeutic advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in virus-related lymphoma. It proposes a TCM-based approach centered around syndrome differentiation, using standardized measurements of the overall TCM condition, multi-omics research of hematologic tumors, and artificial intelligence technologies to identify the "pre-condition" of virus-related lymphoma. A risk warning model will be established to early identify high-risk populations with viral infections that may develop into malignant lymphoma, thereby establishing a risk warning system for virus-related lymphoma. At the same time, a TCM health management approach will be applied to manage and regulate virus-related lymphoma, interrupting its progression and forming a human-centered, comprehensive, continuous health service model. Based on this, a standardized, integrated clinical prevention and treatment decision-making model for virus-related lymphoma, recognized by both Chinese and western medicine, will be established to provide TCM solutions for primary prevention of major malignant tumors.

Objective:
To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes and syndrome elements in lymphoma, as well as the correlation between TCM syndromes and Western clinical indicators, in order to analyze associations between TCM syndromes and these indicators.
Methods:
From January 2023 to May 2024, 216 patients with lymphoma who met the inclusion criteria in the Department of Hematology, Third People′s Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled. Four diagnostic methods were applied to perform TCM syndrome differentiation and extract syndrome elements. The correlations between various syndromes and blood test indicators of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin M (IgM), immunoglobulin A (IgA), white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT), neutrophil (NEUT), immunohistochemical markers of B-cell lymphoma-6 (BCL6), B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2), proto-oncogene MYC, and Ki67 protein expression, Ann Arbor staging, international prognostic index (IPI) score, bone marrow infiltration, concurrent infections during chemotherapy, and post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate were analyzed.
Results:
Five TCM syndromes, ranked by frequency, were syndromes of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation(41.67%), qi depression with phlegm obstruction(30.56%), cold-phlegm congelation and stagnation(12.96%), phlegm-blood stasis toxin(12.04%), and lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi(2.77%). Yin deficiency(50.93%) and phlegm(45.37%) were the more prevalent syndrome elements. The TCM syndromes were correlated with β2-MG, PLT, MYC, BCL2/MYC, Ki67 protein expression, and bone marrow infiltration (P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in Ann Arbor staging or IPI score across the syndromes. Compared to the syndrome of cold-phlegm congelation and stagnation, the syndrome of qi depression with phlegm obstruction exhibited higher levels of NEUT, MYC, BCL2/MYC, and Ki67 protein expression, as well as a higher rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression (P<0.05); the syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis toxin showed higher MYC and BCL2/MYC protein expression and a higher rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate (P<0.05); the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation demonstrated higher MYC and BCL2/MYC protein expression and bone marrow infiltration rates, whereas PLT level was lower (P<0.05); the syndrome of lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi had higher MYC, BCL2/MYC, and Ki67 protein expression levels, as well as a higher rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate (P<0.05). Compared to the syndrome of qi depression with phlegm obstruction, the syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis toxin exhibited lower Ki67 protein expression (P<0.05); the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation had higher β2-MG level, bone marrow infiltration rate, and rate of concurrent infections during chemotherapy, whereas PLT and NEUT levels and the rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate were lower (P<0.05). Compared to the syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis toxin, the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation had higher β2-MG level, whereas NEUT and the rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression were lower(P<0.05); the syndrome of lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi exhibited a higher Ki67 protein expression (P<0.05). Compared to the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation, the syndrome of lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi also showed a higher Ki67 protein expression(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation is relatively common in lymphoma. There is a correlation between TCM syndromes and Western medicine clinical indicators. The presence of heat signs in the syndromes may indicate active disease and poor prognosis, while the presence of strong pathogenic factors and weak vital qi in the syndromes may indicate a severer chemotherapy-related bone marrow suppression.

AIM: To examine how three distinct central positioning techniques for anterior capsulotomy-pupil center, limbus center, and lens apex-affect intraocular lens(IOL)placement and visual quality following femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery(FLACS).METHODS: A total of 36 patients(72 eyes)with age-related cataracts who underwent FLACS and ZCB00 aspherical IOL implantation at Aier Eye Hospital Medical Center, Anhui Medical University between January and December 2023 were included in this prospective study. Patients were divided into three groups based on the central positioning mode for anterior capsulotomy: pupil center, limbus center, and lens apex center groups. IOL alignment and displacement were evaluated using the Casia2 device, and the postoperative visual quality was assessed.RESULTS: At 1 d postoperatively, the IOL tilt for the pupil, limbus, and apex groups were 3.96°±1.51°, 4.63°±1.87°, and 3.90°±2.24°, respectively(F=1.07, P=0.35); IOL decentration values were 0.21±0.10 mm, 0.23±0.16 mm, and 0.21±0.12 mm, respectively(F=0.14, P=0.87); total higher-order aberrations were 0.32±0.40 μm, 0.56±0.61 μm, and 0.53±0.60 μm, respectively(F=1.38, P=0.26); and coma aberrations values were 0.13±0.10 μm, 0.16±0.15 μm, and 0.14±0.15 μm, respectively(F=0.3, P=0.74). All results obtained postoperative day 1 did not differ significantly. At 3 mo postoperatively, IOL tilt values were 5.42°±2.00°, 3.96°±1.44°, and 3.20°±1.19°, respectively(F=12.40, P<0.001); IOL decentration values were 0.33±0.07 mm, 0.23±0.11 mm, and 0.21±0.11 mm, respectively(F=4.99, P=0.008); total higher-order aberrations were 0.67±0.29 μm, 0.44±0.37 μm, and 0.42±0.19 μm, respectively(F=5.50, P=0.006); and coma aberrations values were 0.21±0.12 μm, 0.19±0.12 μm, and 0.12±0.11 μm, respectively(F=3.87, P=0.03). All results obtained 3 mo postoperatively were statistically significant.CONCLUSION: Using the lens apex as the central positioning mode for anterior capsulotomy in FLACS improves postoperative IOL stability and reduces postoperative IOL tilt and decentration. If the lens apex cannot be determined intraoperatively, the limbus center-positioning mode is recommended.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the degree of devascularization and clinical outcomes after interventional embolization and sclerotherapy for peripheral arteriovenous malformations.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 37 patients with peripheral arteriovenous malformations admitted at Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, China-Japan Friendship Hospital from July 2021 to June 2023. All patients received the treatment of "nidus" and/or outflow veins embolization combined with sclerotherapy injection. Two experienced physicians evaluated the degree of devascularization before and after treatment, and conducted a correlation study with clinical outcomes after follow-up.Result:All 37 patients were symptomatic. Swelling and pain accounted for 75.7% of all the cases. Twenty-six patients received only one procedure, 3 patients received re-interventional treatments. The average follow-up time was(13.3±5.0)months. Clinical symptoms were completely relieved in 14 patients, and partial relief in 22 patients. The overall effective rate was 97%. There were 6 patients with degree of de vascularization<50% during procedure, 16 patients with degree of 50%-75%, and 5 patients with degree of 75%-90%, 10 cases with degree over 90%. Patients with devascularization degrees less than 60% can not achieve clinical symptom relief.Conclusions:There is a positive correlation between the degree of devascularization and clinical outcomes in the interventional embolization and sclerotherapy of peripheral arteriovenous malformations, and 60% of the degree of devascularization can serve as the "threshold" for effectiveness of treatment.

This study explores the effects of enhancing the definitive hematopoiesis(DH)signals during the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells(hESCs)into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells on the generation efficiency and effector function of natural killer(NK)cells generated from hESCs(also known as hESC-NK cells).The hESC(H1)were transformed into embryoid bodies(Ebs)by centrifugation,and during the induction of K562,were used to analyze the efficiency of hematopoietic differentiation,the efficiency of NK cell generation from hESC,the in vitro effector functions,and the expression of effector function related surface receptors.Compared to the control group,the DH group had a significant increase in the number of arterial hematopoietic endothelial cells(CD34+DLL4+)and a significant decrease in primitive hematopoietic related cells(CD34-CD43+)on day 8 of hematopoietic differentiation(P<0.05).On day 28 of NK cell differentiation,the DH group demonstrated a significant increase in the number of NK cells(CD45+CD56+),while a slight increase in the expression of effector function-related molecules such as IFN-γ,Granzyme B,Perforin and CD107a without statistical significance.Furthermore,the activation receptors CD16a and CD69 were significantly increased,NKP46 was significantly decreased,the inhibitory receptor NKG2A was significantly increased,while CD96 was significantly decreased on hESC-NK cells of DH groups(P<0.05).Conclusively,enhancing the signals for definitive hematopoiesis during hESC differentiation into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells significantly improves the yield of NK cells and the expression of CD16a without affecting their in vitro effector functions.Our study provides a new approach to improving the efficiency of hESC-NK cell or iPSC-NK cell generation.

Objective:To explore the application effect of dynamic case scenario simulation combined with video playback in the teaching of trauma emergency for nursing interns.Methods:A total of 80 nursing interns who had internship in the Department of Emergency, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from December 2017 to November 2018 were recruited in the study, and they were randomly divided into experimental group and control group (40 nurses per group). The dynamic case scenario simulation combined with video playback method was applied in the experimental group, and the traditional teaching method was used in the control group. Both groups had the same teaching hours (8 class hours) and trauma practice outline. Trauma theoretical knowledge and operational skills of the two groups were assessed, and the scores of nursing students in the two groups, teaching satisfaction and teaching evaluation in the experimental group were analyzed. SPSS 19.0 was used for t test. Results:The trauma theoretical knowledge assessment results and clinical operation skills assessment scores of control group were (73.40±7.11) points and (78.69±8.71) points, respectively, and those of experimental group were (78.09±6.84) points and (85.34±6.43) points respectively, with a statistical difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). The overall satisfaction of nursing students in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group [(98.34±2.19) vs. (94.94±2.58), P<0.01]. Most of nursing students (97.5%, 39/40) in the experimental group hoped to apply dynamic case scenario simulation combined with video playback method in the future. Conclusion:The dynamic case scenario simulation combined video playback method could enhance the trauma emergency ability of the nursing interns and improve the teaching satisfaction and teaching effect.

Objective:To investigate the training needs of nursing students during their practice in the emergency department, and to provide evidence for further improvement and development of the training.Methods:A total of 279 nursing students from 24 hospitals in Guangdong Province and 4 undergraduate universities running nursing specialty were investigated by convenience sampling. The contents of the questionnaire included general information and emergency training needs, including teaching contents and teaching methods.Results:Among the surveyed nursing students, 97.13% (271 students) believed it was very necessary to learn first aid knowledge and skills, and 85.66% (239 students) were very interested in learning first aid knowledge and skills. The score of "acute and critical skills" in the emergency training needs was the highest (88.91 points), and the score of "department rules and regulations" was the lowest (76.08 points). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in gender, willingness to engage in nursing work in the future, interest in learning first aid knowledge and willingness to learn first aid knowledge independently by network ( P < 0.05). The three teaching methods ranked the highest in the survey of emergency teaching methods were situational teaching, problem-based learning and action teaching method. Conclusion:Nursing students have a strong demand for training during the emergency internship. Clinical nursing administrators and educators should combine the internship demand of nursing students and the teaching outline of medical colleges to carry out the training arrangement during the emergency practice, so as to meet the learning needs of nursing students during the emergency practice.

BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of Lobaplatin and Cisplatin in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion.
METHODS:
The databases of Medline (PubMed), Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, Wanfang, CNKI and VIP were retrieved so as to search the studies about the randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) that compared the Lobaplatin and Cisplatin for malignant pleural effusion. The main outcome indicators include objective response rate, complete response, partial response, nephrotoxicity, chest pain, gastrointestinal reaction, myelosuppression, fever response and hepatotoxicity. Relative risk was used as the effect size, which was expressed as 95% confidence interval. The meta-analysis was performed using Stata 14.0 statistical software.
RESULTS:
A total of 12 RCTs and 720 MPE patients were included. The results showed that the ORR (RR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.15-1.40, P<0.001), CR (RR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.09-1.78, P=0.007), PR (RR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.02-1.42, P=0.026) in LBP thoracic perfusion chemotherapy were significantly higher than those in DDP thoracic perfusion chemotherapy. The incidence of nephrotoxicity (RR=0.31, 95%CI: 0.13-0.71, P=0.005) and gastrointestinal reactions (RR=0.44, 95%CI: 0.31-0.62, P<0.001) in the LBP group were significantly lower than those in DDP group.
CONCLUSIONS
Compared with DDP pleural perfusion chemotherapy, the ORR, CR and PR of LBP pleural perfusion chemotherapy for MPE are significantly better than DDP, and its nephrotoxicity and gastrointestinal reactions are remarkably lower than DDP.

Objective To investigate the extents of corpus callosotomy (CC) resulting in optimal seizure control and compare the efficacies and complications of two CC approaches. Methods Clinical data of 25 patients underwent CC in our hospital from January 2013 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All 25 patients were diagnosed as having medically refractory epilepsy, and 27 CC procedures were performed. The patients underwent either anterior two thirds CC (n=13) or single-stage complete CC (n=12). Two patients had a second-stage posterior CC in 61 and 36 months after anterior CC, respectively. The efficacies were studied by using two evaluation indexes, the effective rate (worthwhile improvements) and the markedly effective rate (favorable outcomes).Results The average postoperative follow-up time was 2.6 years. In comparison, the markedly effective rate (>75% reduction in seizure frequency or severity) was 71.4% after complete CC and 15.4% after anterior two thirds CC with a statistical significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The effective rate (>50% reduction in seizure frequency or severity) of complete CC (78.6%) was higher than that of anterior two thirds CC (53.8%), but without significant difference (P>0.05). Overall, 66.7% of patients benefited from anterior or complete CC. There were no such complications as intracranial hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid leakage or postoperative infection.Conclusion Complete CC is more effective for seizure control than anterior two thirds CC; no permanent neurological deficits are observed postoperatively.
