The red doctor spirit is the red gene formed and developed in the process of the Communist Party of China (CPC) leading the revolution and construction, and in pioneering and developing the people’s health undertakings. It is also the embodiment of the spiritual lineage of the Chinese Communists in the field of healthcare. The red doctor resources is a valuable resource for medical colleges and universities to conduct ideological and political education, playing a vital role in the cultivation of medical talents and the construction of Chinese-style modernization in health and well-being. Combining with the macro-historical background and adopting the method of “university founding background, typical figures, typical cases, and group portrayal,” the university history research team at Xi’an Medical University has excavated representative cases that demonstrate the connotation of the spirit of red medicine, namely “political firmness and excellent technology,” from the university’s history of arduous struggle in its establishment and development. This exploration shows the historical value and practical significance of the red doctor spirit as reflected in university history. On these foundations, the research team explored and carried out ideological and political theory courses and campus culture construction activities with the characteristics of medical universities, thereby enhancing the affinity and persuasiveness of ideological and political theory courses, promoting the in-depth dissemination of the red doctor spirit, and assisting in the construction of health and well-being culture.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder among the elderly, and BuChE has emerged as a potential therapeutic target. In this study, we reported the development of compound 8e, a selective reversible BuChE inhibitor (eqBuChE IC50 = 0.049 μmol/L, huBuChE IC50 = 0.066 μmol/L), identified through extensive virtual screening and lead optimization. Compound 8e demonstrated favorable blood-brain barrier permeability, good drug-likeness property and pronounced neuroprotective efficacy. Additionally, 8e exhibited significant therapeutic effects in zebrafish AD models and scopolamine-induced cognitive impairments in mice. Further, 8e significantly improved cognitive function in APP/PS1 transgenic mice. Proteomics analysis demonstrated that 8e markedly elevated the expression levels of very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), offering valuable insights into its potential modulation of the Reelin-mediated signaling pathway. Thus, compound 8e emerges as a novel and potent BuChE inhibitor for the treatment of AD, with significant implications for further exploration into its mechanisms of action and therapeutic applications.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

Objective:To compare the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of the trastuzumab originator (HST) versus its biosimilar (HLX02) combined with pertuzumab and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with HER-2-positive breast cancer.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 175 patients with HER-2-positive breast cancer who received neoadjuvant therapy followed by curative surgery at the Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between October 2020 and January 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on the trastuzumab formulation used: the HST group ( n=89) and the HLX02 group ( n=86).The efficacy, safety, and trastuzumab-related treatment costs were compared between the two groups. Moreover, using Logistic regression model to identify the factors influencing total pathological complete response (tpCR) rates. Results:There were statistically significant differences in clinical T stage and surgical approach between the HST and HLX02 groups ( P<0.05). Other clinicopathological characteristics, such as age and histological grade, showed no statistically significant differences ( P>0.05), with most baseline characteristics remaining balanced between the two groups. There were no significant differences in tpCR rates ( P=0.957) or Miller-Payne (MP) grading rates ( P=0.991) between the HST and HLX02 groups. The tpCR rates for the two groups were 55.1% (49/89) and 54.7% (47/86), respectively. The rates of achieving grade 5 (G5) in the postoperative MP pathological grading system were 55.1% (49/89) and 55.8% (48/86), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.991). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that hormone receptor status is an independent risk factor affecting tpCR ( OR=0.31, 95% CI; 0.16-0.61, P<0.001). The incidence of adverse event during neoadjuvant therapy was similar between the groups, with no occurrences of trastuzumab-related cardiac toxicity. The HLX02 regimen showed a lower cost-effectiveness ratio (586.48 vs. 604.96) and reduced trastuzumab treatment costs during neoadjuvant therapy compared to HST [tpCR:(31 208.37±2 191.00) CNY vs. (33 224.49±2 741.00) CNY; non-tpCR: 33 030.05±5 787.00) CNY vs. (33 412.50±4 203.00) CNY, P<0.05]. Conclusions:In the neoadjuvant treatment of early-stage HER-2-positive breast cancer, HLX02 combined with pertuzumab and chemotherapy demonstrates similar efficacy and safety to the trastuzumab originator, while offering a significant cost advantage.

Purpose:
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal malignancy that occurs primarily in children and adolescents. The clinical and pathological features of IMT in adult patients are not well understood.
Materials and Methods:
We retrospectively searched for records of adult patients with IMT at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2006 to 2021. Clinicopathological data, treatments, and outcomes were collected and analyzed.
Results:
Thirty adult patients with IMT, mostly women (60.0%), were included. The median age of the patients was 38 (21-77). The most common primary site was abdominopelvic region (53.3%), followed by lungs (20.0%). Seven patients had an abdominal epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblast sarcoma (EIMS). The positivity rate of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) was 81.5% (22/27). Sixteen patients with advanced ALK-positive disease received crizotinib, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 81.3% and a disease control rate of 87.5%. The median progression-free survival was 20.8 months. EIMS was associated with more aggressive behavior; however, the prognosis was similar to that of non-EIMS patients after treatment with an ALK inhibitor. At a median follow-up time of 30 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.6 to 46.4), the 5-year overall survival was 77% (95% CI, 66 to 88) in all patients.
Conclusion
Adult IMTs appeared more aggressive, with a higher incidence of recurrence and metastases, and patients with EIMS had more aggressive cases. Treatment with ALK inhibitors resulted in a high ORR and a durable response, which suggested that ALK inhibitors could be used as a first-line treatment option in adult patients with ALK-positive advanced IMT.
