Cancer has become a significant global public health issue， severely impacting public health and societal development. Despite advances in tumor treatment methods in recent years and a gradual decline in cancer mortality rates， drug-related adverse reactions and drug resistance remain substantial challenges. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in cancer treatment and small side effects， making it widely applied in the field of oncology. Xuefu Zhuyutang， derived from Yilin Gaicuo， is known for its abilities to invigorate blood circulation， dispel blood stasis， promote Qi flow， and alleviate pain. It was specifically formulated by the esteemed WANG Qingren of the Qing dynasty for the "blood stasis syndrome in the blood mansion" and is commonly used to treat Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome. Clinical studies have shown that Xuefu Zhuyutang， when combined with conventional Western medications， produces significant effects in the treatment of malignant tumors such as liver cancer， lung cancer， and cervical cancer. It substantially reduces the incidence of adverse reactions following Western treatments， including radiation esophagitis， radiation encephalopathy， radiation-induced oral mucositis， and edema. Additionally， it alleviates cancer-related pain and fever， blood hypercoagulability， and associated complications such as depression and anxiety， and also mitigates chemotherapy-induced side effects like hand-foot syndrome. Basic research has demonstrated its potential anti-tumor mechanisms， including the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activation， suppression of mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） pathway activation， and anti-tumor angiogenesis. Pharmacological studies have revealed that its active components inhibit tumor cell proliferation and migration， induce tumor cell apoptosis， suppress tumor angiogenesis， enhance the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells against tumors， improve the tumor microenvironment， and regulate immune function. This paper reviewed the latest research progress on Xuefu Zhuyutang in the treatment of malignant tumors from four aspects： theoretical exploration， clinical studies， mechanisms of action， and pharmacological basis， aiming to provide insights and methods for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors.

Digestive system tumors are the leading cause of cancer incidence and mortality globally， and their occurrence and development generally follow the key pathological process of inflammation-cancer transformation. Therefore， intervening in the precancerous lesion stage is an important strategy to block malignant transformation of the disease and reduce the incidence rate of tumors. Banxia Xiexin Tang-related prescriptions （including Banxia Xiexin Tang， Shengjiang Xiexin Tang， and Gancao Xiexin Tang） originated from the Shanghan Zabinglun They follow the principle of pungent dispersing and bitter descending， combination of cold and warm medicinals， and tonifying deficiency and purging excess， which aligns with the core pathogenesis of digestive system precancerous lesions characterized by cold-heat intermingling and disorder of ascending and descending. These prescriptions are widely used in the clinical treatment of various digestive system inflammatory disorders such as atrophic gastritis， ulcerative colitis， and reflux esophagitis. This review systematically summarizes the theoretical basis， clinical evidence， and therapeutic mechanisms of such prescriptions in preventing and treating the inflammation-cancer transformation process in the digestive system. Clinical studies have shown that whether used alone or in combination with modern therapies， Banxia Xiexin Tang can effectively alleviate symptoms， repair histopathological changes， and improve patients' quality of life. Basic research further reveals that their efficacy stems from multi-target systemic regulatory effects： ameliorating the chronic inflammatory microenvironment， antagonizing oxidative stress， reshaping the gut microbiota， restoring the immune balance， regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis， etc. On the basis of the convergence of traditional Chinese and Western medicine understanding of inflammation-cancer transformation， this article constructs a research framework centered on regulating the inflammatory microenvironment homeostasis to systematically elucidate the mechanism of treating different diseases with the same method （Banxia Xiexin Tang）. In view of the limitations of current research in terms of evidence level， disease-syndrome combination models， and overall mechanism analysis of compound prescriptions， this article proposes future research directions of integrating high-quality clinical research， systems biology， and cutting-edge technologies， providing a new theoretical basis and translational ideas for the precise prevention and control of digestive system tumors with traditional Chinese medicine.

Tumorigenesis， invasion， and metastasis occur in the context of a persistent inflammatory microenvironment， and a variety of inflammatory factors can lead to the development of various tumors. Guided by the thought of "preventive treatment of disease" in TCM and the concept of tertiary prevention in modern medicine， it is of great significance to effectively intervene in the inflammatory stage of the disease， interrupt disease progression， prevent the occurrence of malignant tumors， and reverse the process of "inflammation-to-cancer transformation". Sinisan， a commonly used prescription in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases， has been widely applied in the treatment of precancerous lesions of the digestive system， demonstrating considerable advantages. This article reviewed literature from the past 20 years， summarizing the application of Sinisan in precancerous lesions of the digestive system from three aspects： the exploration of its prescription-syndrome relationship， clinical application， and mechanistic study. It is found that basic syndrome indications of Sinisan include harmonizing the Earth element to promote spleen-stomach transportation and transformation， soothing the liver and nourishing the Wood element to restore the smooth flow of Qi， and regulating Yin and Yang to relieve stagnation within the system. In clinical application， Sinisan has shown significant efficacy in atrophic gastritis and precancerous conditions such as intestinal metaplasia， gastric ulcer， ulcerative colitis， esophagitis， and pancreatitis. Mechanistic studies have revealed that Sinisan can inhibit inflammatory factors and improve the inflammatory microenvironment， inhibit cell proliferation and regulate apoptosis， exhibit anti-angiogenic and antitumorigenic effects， modulate immune function， and exert antioxidant effects. These mechanisms can be achieved by regulating pathways such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 （Nrf2/HO-1）， farnesoid X receptor （FXR）/Nrf2， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5/cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A （TGR5/cAMP/PKA）， interleukin-4/signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 （IL-4/STAT6）， Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT）， RhoA/Rho-associated protein kinase （RhoA/ROCK）， and transforming growth factor-β/Smad proteins （TGF-β/Smads）， confirming Sinisan's role in reversing the inflammation-to-cancer transformation. The current research status of Sinisan in precancerous lesions of the digestive system was thoroughly examined through the above three aspects， along with the identification of limitations and areas for improvement in current research. The aim is to provide a basis and support for future in-depth research on Sinisan， promote the development of new integrated treatment models combining TCM and Western medicine for precancerous lesions， and aid in the research and development of drugs related to precancerous lesions.

Malignant tumor is a serious and difficult disease threatening human health， which has a high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in improving the therapeutic effect of malignant tumors and alleviating adverse reactions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi deficiency and blood stasis are important pathogeneses in the development of malignant tumors， and the method of supplementing Qi and activating blood is an effective strategy for treating malignant tumors. Astragali Radix， sweet in taste and warm in nature， has effects of tonifying Qi and rising Yang， strengthening the exterior and reducing sweat， promoting fluid and nourishing blood. Curcumae Rhizoma， acrid and bitter in taste and warm in nature， has the effects of promoting Qi and breaking blood stasis， eliminating mass， and relieving pain. Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma， as the classic herb pair of invigorating Qi and activating blood， has a clear effect on inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. Studies have shown that Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma contains astragalus polysaccharide， astragaloside， calycosin， formononetin， curcumin， β-elemene， curcumenol， curcumenone， curcumendione， gemacrone， and other anti-tumor active ingredients. It can significantly inhibit the occurrence and development of liver cancer， colorectal cancer， gastric cancer， lung cancer， ovarian cancer， cervical cancer， breast cancer， and other cancers and has the advantages of superposition effect， synergistic complementarity， and increased dissolution compared with single herb and monomer of Chinese traditional herbs and has been widely valued in the field of TCM anti-cancer. Its anti-tumor mechanism includes inhibition of tumor cell proliferation， promotion of tumor cell apoptosis and autophagy， anti-invasion and metastasis， regulation of immune function， and enhancement of anti-tumor drug sensitivity. By combining Chinese and foreign literature， the compatibility effect and anti-tumor mechanism of Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma were summarized， and then scientific compatibility of these two herbs was expounded， in order to provide a useful reference for clinical application and future research of Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infections in wild rodents in schistosomiasis-endemic areas of China, so as to provide insights into formulation of technical guidelines for monitoring of and the precise control strategy for S. japonicum infections in wild rodents during the elimination phase. Methods Two administrative villages where schistosomiasis was historically highly prevalent were selected each from Dongzhi County, Anhui Province, and Duchang County, Jiangxi Province as study villages. Wild rodents were captured from study villages with baited traps or cages at night in June and September, 2021. The number of rodents captured was recorded, and the rodent species was characterized based on morphologi-cal characteristics. Liver tissues were sampled from captured rodents for macroscopical observation of the presence of egg granu- lomas, and S. japonicum infection was detected simultaneously using liver tissue homogenate microscopy, examinations of mesenteric tissues for parasites, and modified Kato-Katz thick smear technique (Kato-Katz technique). A positive S. japonicum infection was defined as detection of S. japonicum eggs or adult worms by any of these methods. The rate of wild rodent capture and prevalence of S. japonicum infections in wild rodents were compared in different study villages and at different time periods, and the detection of S. japonicum infections in wild rodents was compared by different assays. Results The overall rate of wild ro- dent capture was 8.28% (237/2 861) in Dongzhi County, and the wild rodent capture rates were 9.24% (133/1 439) and 7.31% (104/1 422) in two study villages (χ² = 3.503, P = 0.061), and were 8.59% (121/1 409) and 7.99% (116/1 452) in June and September, 2021, respectively (χ² = 0.337, P = 0.561). The overall rate of wild rodent capture was 3.72% (77/2 072) in Duchang County, and the wild rodent capture rates were 6.91% (67/970) and 0.91% (10/1 102) in two study villages (χ² = 51.901, P < 0.001), and were 4.13% (39/945) and 3.37% (38/1 127) in June and September, 2021, respectively (χ² = 0.815, P = 0.365). Rattus norvegicus was the predominant rodent species captured in both counties, accounting for 70.04% (166/237) of all captured wild rodents in Dongzhi County and 88.31% (68/77) in Duchang County. No S. japonicum infection was detected in wild rodents captured in Duchang County. Nevertheless, the overall prevalence of S. japonicum infections was 51.05% (121/237) in wild rodents captured in Dongzhi County, with prevalence rates of 50.38% (67/133) and 51.92% (54/104) in two study villages (χ² = 0.098, P = 0.755), and 54.31% (63/116) and 47.93% (58/121) in September and June, 2021, respectively (χ² = 0.964, P = 0.326). Of 237 wild rodents captured in Dongzhi County, there were 140 (59.07%) rodents with visible hepatic egg granulomas, 117 (49.47%) tested positive for S. japonicum eggs by liver tissue homogenate microscopy, 34 (14.35%) tested positive for S. japonicum eggs with Kato-Katz technique; however, no adult S. japonicum worms were detected in mesenteric tissues. In addition, hepatic egg granulomas were found in all wild rodents tested positive for S. japonicum eggs with liver tissue homogenate microscopy. Conclusions The rate of wild rodent capture and prevalence of S. japonicum infection in wild rodents vary greatly in schistosomiasis-endemic areas of China, and the prevalence of S. japonicum infection is slightly higher in wild rodents captured in autumn than in summer. Liver tissue is recommended as the preferred sample for surveillance of S. japonicum infection in wild rodents, and a combination of macroscopical observation of hepatic egg granulomas and liver tissue homogenate microscopy may be a standard method for surveillance of S. japonicum infection in wild rodents.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of bundled property management under multidisciplinary coopera-tion mode on prevention and control of multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)in intensive care units(ICUs)and explore the evidence-based methods for prevention and control of MDROs.METHODS A control study before and after the same time period was designed,the post-intervention period was 2024 when the bundled measures were fully implemented,and the pre-intervention period was 2023.Totally 8 ICUs of general and special depart-ments of a three-A hospital in Hubei Province were recruited as research subjects,the multidisciplinary coopera-tion team was established,the bundled management measures were introduced to optimize the quality of property cleaning work.The quality of service of the property cleaning work was evaluated through surveillance of hospital-associated infections and environmental hygiene surveillance before and after the bundled measures were imple-mented.RESULTS The isolation rate of MDROs from object surfaces of ICU environment declined from 0.34％to 0.10％after the bundled management measures under multidisciplinary cooperation model were implemented(P＜0.05).The incidence of MDROs hospital-associated infections was reduced from 0.07％to 0.03％(P＜0.05);the isolation rate of MDROs from patients decreased from 14.68％to 12.69％(P＜0.05);the performance as-sessment score of the cleaning staff was raised from(85.56±7.21)points to(91.06±3.07)points,however,there was no significant difference.The hand hygiene compliance rate of the cleaning staff was raised from 42.86％to 68.52％(P＜0.05).The positive rate of random ATP fluorescent test for environmental object surfaces de-clined from 25.41％to 10.05％(P＜0.05).Other environmental hygiene indexes for the cleaning and disinfection effects were improved in varying degrees.CONCLUSION The bundled management measures under multidiscipli-nary cooperation mode boost the property service quality,enhance the cleaning staff's awareness of disinfection,prevention and control,reduce the isolation rate of MDROs in environment,and thus decrease the incidence of MDROs hospital-associated infections and prevent the transmission.

Objective:To explore the effect of mesoporous silica (SiO 2) chitosan (CS) hydrogel loaded with neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) on repair of spinal cord injury. Methods:After 2%, 4%, and 6% NT-3/SiO 2 were dissolved in CS solution, they were added into β-glycerophosphate sodium solution for chemical cross-linking to obtain hydrogel patches of different NT-3 loadings. The specific surface area, pore size and pore volume of mesoporous SiO 2 nanoparticles were detected by specific surface area analyzer. The morphology of mesoporous SiO 2 nanoparticles and the pore structure of freeze-dried hydrogel were detected by scanning electron microscopy. Adhesion of the hydrogel was verified by spinal cord tissue. After the NT-3/SiO 2@CS hydrogel was placed in the medium, the concentrations of NT-3 were measured for 1 to 20 days. Neural stem cells (NSCs) were isolated from fetal rats and identified. Cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay was used to detect the proliferation of NSCs treated with different concentrations of hydrogel. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the effects of NT-3/SiO 2@CS hydrogel on differentiation of NSCs. Twenty-four 8-week-old C57BL/6JNifdc female mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group (sham), a spinal cord injury group (SCI), a chitosan hydrogel group (CS) and a mesoporous SiO 2-loaded NT-3 hydrogel group (NT-3/SiO 2@CS). In the sham group, the muscle and skin were sutured immediately after laminectomy without spinal cord injury. The CS hydrogel and NT-3/SiO 2@CS hydrogel patches were implanted without treatment after spinal cord injury in the other 3 groups, respectively. Basso Mouse Scale (BMS) was used to evaluate the mice every 7 days for 8 weeks after modeling. The hot and cold board test and Catwalk gait analysis were performed at 8 weeks after surgery. Results:The mesoporous SiO 2 nanoparticles showed typical spherical morphology and a uniform particle size (about 160 nm). The specific surface area, pore volume and pore size of the mesoporous SiO 2 nanoparticles loaded with NT-3 changed from 1,039 m 2/g, 0.726 cm 3/g and 2.754 nm to 779 m 2/g, 0.403 cm 3/g and 1.903 nm, respectively. The hydrogel had a uniform internal microporous structure and good porosity so that it easily adhered to the spinal cord and achieved long-term stable release of NT-3 for at least 20 days. CCK-8 results showed that at 24 hours after the neural stem cells were laid, the cell proliferative activities in the 4%NT-3/SiO 2@CS and 6% NT-3/SiO 2@CS groups were significantly lower than that in the group untreated ( P<0.05). The immunofluorescence staining showed that the fluorescence intensity of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), the NSC marker in NT-3/SiO 2@CS, insignificantly decreased in the groups with different concentrations of NT-3/SiO 2@CS compared with the group untreated ( P>0.05). The fluorescence intensities of GFAP, MAP2 and GFAP/MAP2 in the NT-3/SiO 2@CS group were significantly higher than those in the other groups ( P<0.05). The BMS scoring for mice showed sham group>NT-3/SiO 2@CS group>SCI group and CS group for 8 weeks of modeling, and the response time of mice to cold and hot stimulations in the NT-3/SiO 2@CS group was significantly shorter than that in the SCI and CS groups. The differences above were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The Catwalk gait analysis showed that the hindlimb footprints in the NT-3/SiO 2@CS group were significantly clearer and more coherent than those in the SCI and CS groups. Conclusions:The sustained-release gel patch based on CS, SiO 2 and NT-3 has a uniform pore structure, good biocompatibility and excellent drug sustained-release effect. It can promote the differentiation of NSCs into neurons, thus contributing to recovery of motor and sensory functions after spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of failure mode and effect analysis(FMEA)on management of hospi-tal-associated infections(HAIs)in hemodialysis center.METHODS In Nov.2023,the risk priority number(RPN)integrated with action priority(AP)was adopted to identify,analyze and evaluate the risk factors in man-agement of HAIs in hemodialysis center of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College,Huazhong Uni-versity of Science and Technology by FMEA method.The high risk points that needed to be taken interventions were screened out,and the targeted measures were formulated to control the risks.At the end of the intervention period,a second round of risk assessment was carried out for improvement status of the high-risk points in Nov.2024,and the effect on the management of HAIs was evaluated.RESULTS The risk assessment was carried out for 48 risk points covering eight aspects,including organizational structure,self-inspection and supervision,staff management,environmental layout,cleaning and disinfection,surveillance,operation procedures and i-tem management.There were 9 risk points with the RPN values greater than 125,3 of which were with the AP value of"H".There were 8 risk points with the RPN value less than 125 and 6 risk points with the AP value drop-ping down to L after the targeted intervention measures were taken,indicating that the risk management has a-chieved favorable effect.CONCLUSIONS The RPN and AP integrated with FMEA can accurately identify the high-risk points in the quality management of the hemodialysis center.It is necessary to take targeted interven-tion measures so as to boost the effect on prevention and control of HAIs in the hemodialysis center and reduce the risk of HAIs in the hemodialysis patients.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.
