Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with metastatic gastric tumor and to differentiate them from those with primary malignant gastric tumors.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 21 patients with metastatic gastric tumor confirmed by gastroscopy biopsy and pathology.The clinical manifestations,gastroscopy characteristics,pathological results,and the time interval between the diagnosis of primary malignant tumor and the confirmation of gastric metastasis were summarized.Results:The patient primarily exhibited symptoms related to gastric involvement;gastroscopy findings resembled those of primary malignant tumors of the stomach;pathological results were consistent with primary malignant tumors;the time interval between the diagnosis of primary cancer and the confirmation of metastatic gastric tumor varied significantly,ranging from up to 18 years to simultaneous detection.Conclusion:Metastatic gastric tumors are similar to primary malignant tumors of the stomach in terms of clinical manifestations and endoscopic features,making clinical differentiation challenging.The main approach for distinguishing them is based on pathological examination.

This article reports a case of extensive ocular inflammation following zoledronic acid infusion for the treatment of osteoporosis. The patient developed pain, eyelid edema, conjunctival congestion, and decreased vision in the right eye one day after receiving intravenous zoledronic acid, and was diagnosed with uveitis, scleritis, and periorbital soft tissue inflammation. The patient′s symptoms were evaluated using the clinical activity score(CAS). After high-dose corticosteroid pulse therapy combined with other comprehensive treatments, the symptoms improved markedly. This article reviews the incidence, clinical features, potential mechanisms, management, and prognosis of ocular adverse reactions induced by zoledronic acid, and highlights the importance of early recognition and timely treatment of ocular inflammation after zoledronic acid therapy.

Objective:To investigate the improvement in nutritional indicators, clinical complications, and respiratory infections among children with cerebral palsy (CP) and malnutrition who meet the indications for tube feeding under oral feeding and tube feeding interventions.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, 82 children with CP and malnutrition that met the indications for tube feeding from the Children′s Rehabilitation Hospital of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2022 to April 2024 were included.These patients were divided into an oral feeding group and a tube feeding group.The t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze nutritional indices such as weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ), height/length-for-age Z-score (HAZ), and weight-for-height/length Z-score (WHZ) before and after intervention in both groups.The improvement in clinical complications and respiratory infections was also analyzed. Results:After 3-month nutritional intervention, there were 60 cases in the oral feeding group and 22 cases in the tube feeding group.The tube feeding group showed better improvement in WHZ [-0.23(-1.79, 0.88) vs.-1.62(-2.02, -0.91) ] than the oral feeding group ( P<0.05).After 6-month nutritional intervention, there were 50 cases in the oral feeding group and 16 cases in the tube feeding group.The tube feeding group showed better improvement in WAZ [-0.80(-1.92, -0.42) vs. -2.26(-2.88, -1.84)], HAZ (-1.31±1.23 vs. -2.32±1.19), and WHZ (-0.74±1.39 vs. -1.58±1.03) than the oral feeding group (all P<0.05).After 12-month nutritional intervention, there were 30 cases in the oral feeding group and 10 cases in the tube feeding group.The tube feeding group showed better improvement in WAZ [-1.06(-1.77, -0.88) vs.-2.25(-3.06, -1.47) ] and HAZ (-1.22±1.63 vs. -2.54±1.50) than the oral feeding group (all P<0.05).Clinical complications improved better in the tube feeding group than those in the oral feeding group.In the tube feeding group, significant differences in choking ( χ2=16.29, P=0.001) and vomiting ( χ2=6.81, P=0.013) were observed before and after nutritional intervention.There was a statistically significant difference in frequency of lower respiratory infections 3 and 6 months after nutritional intervention between the 2 groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with oral feeding, tube feeding can effectively improve the clinical nutritional indicators and reduce the clinical complications and the risk of respiratory infections in CP children that meet the indications for tube feeding.

Objective To explore the mechanism of TubA in the treatment of ulcerative colitis in mice,and to lay a foundation for the treatment strategy of ulcerative colitis.Methods Twenty C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=5):the control group drank pure water every day,the model group and the treatment groups drank 3％dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)every day,and the treatment groups were injected with 10 mg/kg TubA and 20 mg/kg TubA every day from the third day,respectively.The weight changes of mice in all groups were recorded.Nine days later,the serum of mice was collected,and the expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-10 in serum were detected by ELISA.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the mouse colon.The expression of myeloperoxidase(MPO)was detected by immunohistochemistry,the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-10 were detected by RT-qPCR,and the expressions of GPX4 and FTH were detected by immunohistochemistry.The mRNA and protein expression levels of GPX4,GCLM,FTH,Nrf2,Keap1 and HO-1 in colon tissues were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Results Compared with the control group,the body weight and colon length of the model group decreased significantly.HE staining showed that inflammatory cells infiltrated the mucosa and submucosa of colon tissue,goblet cells were lost and crypt structure disordered and disappeared.Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of MPO and FTH proteins were significantly increased,while the expression of GPX4 protein was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly increased,while the mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-10 were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The mRNA and protein expression levels of FTH,Nrf2 and HO-1 were significantly increased,while the mRNA and protein expression levels of GPX4,GCLM and Keap1 were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).After TubA treatment,compared with the model group,all these changes mentioned above suppressed(P＜0.05).Conclusion TubA may reduce ulcerative colitis symptoms by inhibiting ferroptosis,providing new ideas for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Liver metastasis is a key factor impacting the treatment outcomes and survival prognoses of patients with colorectal cancer(CRC).In recent years,immunotherapy has demonstrated revolutionary potential in the treatment of a wide range of solid tumors by strengthen-ing the host's antitumor immune response and has become a mainstream option for the treatment of metastatic or recurrent solid tumors.Immune checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy,in particular,has shown promising advances in safety and efficacy in CRC treatment,especially for deficient mismatch repair(dMMR)CRC.Despite these advances,patients with liver metastases have not seen any improvements in their survival prognoses.In this article,we comprehensively review immunotherapeutic strategies for treating liver metastases from CRC,discuss the efficacy of each strategy,and provide an in-depth discussion of prospective future directions.

Head and neck malignant tumor is one of the most heterogeneous diseases.The multi-disciplinary team(MDT)is an essen-tial component for personal precise diagnosis,treatment and integrated care management of oncologic diseases including head and neck malignant tumor.MDT clinical practice is also an important teaching mode for head and neck malignant tumors,but it is limited by time and space in actual teaching.An internet visualization platform was constructed based on the Internet,hospital HIS/PACS/LIS/EMR system,medical visualization screen,oral endoscope,remote consultation platform and other accessible audio and video terminals,and has been applied in MDT clinical teaching of head and neck malignant tumors,allowing medical students to participate in MDT through a networked visualization platform.Medical students will achieve deep learning for the most heterogeneous malignant tumor.MDT sup-ported by the internet visualization platform provides a new pathway for clinical medical education.
