OBJECTIVE: To investigate the genetic etiology of a fetus diagnosed with Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM). METHODS: A fetus that underwent prenatal diagnosis at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, on May 19, 2025 was selected for analysis. Results of fetal ultrasound findings, chromosomal karyotyping, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq), and whole-exome sequencing (WES) were collected. Sanger sequencing was performed for familial validation of the pathogenic variant. The Human Protein Atlas (HPA), STRING, and Simple ClinVar databases were queried to characterize the biological features of the candidate gene. Three-dimensional structures of the wild-type and variant proteins were modeled and analyzed, and the evolutionary conservation of the affected amino acid was assessed using UGENE. Prenatal phenotypes associated with EFTUD2 variants were summarized through a review of the literature. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University (Ethics No.: 2025-KY-029-01). RESULTS: At 23⁺² weeks of gestation, ultrasound examination revealed bilateral microtia with low-set ears, mild micrognathia with a reduced mandibular-facial angle, a single umbilical artery, a slightly narrow aortic diameter, and trivial mitral regurgitation. Amniotic fluid karyotyping and CNV-seq showed no abnormalities. WES identified a de novo, previously unreported EFTUD2 variant, c.698dupA (p.V235Gfs*27), in the fetus. This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the structural integrity of the EFTUD2 protein. Literature review indicated that micrognathia and microtia or low-set ears are the most common sonographic features in fetuses with EFTUD2 variants, while secondary findings may include abnormal stomach bubble, cleft palate, single umbilical artery, gastrointestinal atresia, polyhydramnios, and reduced aortic diameter. CONCLUSION The EFTUD2: c.698dupA (p.V235Gfs*27) variant is likely the genetic cause underlying MFDM in this fetus.

Network Meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different traditional Chinese medicine injections combined with conventional western medicine in treatment of cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD). Computerized searches were conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMbase, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed for randomized controlled trial(RCT) published in Chinese or English using traditional Chinese medicine injections to treat CSVD. The search time is from the inception to July 15, 2024. Literature screening and statistical analysis were conducted with NoteExpress 3.0.3, RevMan 5.3.5, and Stata 15.1.6. A total of 45 articles were included, involving 3 717 patients, with 1 944 patients in the treatment group and 1 773 patients in the control group. A total of 15 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine injections were involved. Network Meta-analysis indicated that,(1) in terms of improving clinical total effective rate, the best intervention in SUCRA was Ciwujia Injection + conventional western medicine.(2) In terms of reducing NIHSS scores, the best intervention in SUCRA was Xueshuantong Injection + conventional western medicine.(3) In terms of improving ADL scores, the best intervention in SUCRA was Danshen Injection + conventional western medicine.(4) In terms of improving MMSE scores, the best intervention in SUCRA was Xueshauntong Injection + conventional western medicine.(5) In terms of improving MoCA scores, the best intervention in SUCRA was Salvianolate Injection + conventional western medicine.(6) In terms of reducing plasma viscosity(PV), the best intervention in SUCRA was Danhong Injection + conventional western medicine.(7) In terms of reducing the hematocrit, the best intervention in SUCRA was Xuesaitong Injection + conventional western medicine.(8) In terms of reducing fibrinogen, the best intervention in SUCRA was Xuesaitong Injection + conventional western medicine.(9) In terms of reducing erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), the best intervention in SUCRA was Danshen Injection + conventional western medicine.(10) In terms of reducing total cholesterol(TC), triglycerides(TG), and low-density lipoprotein(LDL), the best intervention in SUCRA was Danshen Injection + conventional western medicine. The radar chart results indicated that the advantage of Salvianolate Injection lies in improving cognitive function, while the advantage of Xueshuantong Injection lies in improving neurological function. The advantage of Xuesaitong Injection lies in improving hemodynamic parameters, and the advantage of Danshen Injection lies in improving behavioral ability, hemodynamics, and blood lipid levels. In terms of safety, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the traditional Chinese medicine injection treatment group and the conventional western medicine group, and no serious adverse reactions occurred. The results showed that the combination of traditional Chinese medicine injections and conventional western medicine can effectively improve the clinical total effective rate, the neurological and cognitive functions, hemodynamic parameters, and blood lipid levels of patients suffering from CSVD. In addition, more double-blind, multi-center, large-sample RCT is needed to verify these findings and to provide more high-quality evidence on the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine injections for CSVD.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Cell lines serve as invaluable tools in studying lung cancer biology and developing new therapies to combat the disease. However, commercially available cell lines are typically of Caucasian origin and may be less representative of the local genetic background. To address this, our lab previously immortalized cells from pleural fluid of a Filipino non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient via CDK4 transduction. Copy number variations (CNVs) are a type of genetic variation which may affect physiology and disease by disrupting gene function or altering gene expression, and in cancer, these may be associated with patient outcomes. CNV profiling can be valuable for understanding the biology of our immortalized cells and identifying genes that could serve as potential targets for diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic interventions. This study aimed to characterize previously immortalized NSCLC-derived cells, GL01, in comparison with an established lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell line, A549, through whole-genome microarray-based copy number profiling.

DNA was extracted from GL01 and A549 cells using a commercially-available silica-based DNA extraction kit. DNA extracts were quantified and normalized for microarray analysis. Whole-genome copy number profiling was done using the OncoScan CNV Plus Assay following the manufacturer’s protocols, and data was analyzed using the Chromosome Analysis Suite software. Functional analysis of genes identified to be involved in copy number aberrations was done using the PANTHER Classification System.

Copy number aberrations span 1,592,737,105 bp in GL01 and 1,715,708,552 bp in A549, with a high degree of concordance between the two. Large-scale and focal copy number aberrations previously identified to be recurrent in various LUAD cohorts were present in both GL01 and A549. Focal copy number aberrations associated with previously described lung cancer-related genes involve the PDE4D gene in GL01 and the SKIL and CDKN2A/CDKN2B genes in both GL01 and A549. PANTHER Pathway analysis of genes positively correlated with mRNA expression showed that the ubiquitin proteasome pathway was significantly overrepresented in both GL01 (FDR p = 0.000074) and A549 (FDR p = 0.000075), with 20 genes involved. Additionally, the KRAS:p.G12C/S:c.34G>T/A somatic mutation variant was detected in both GL01 and A549.

This study provides a method for identifying potentially clinically-relevant genes associated with a sample’s copy number aberrations and the pathways they represent, providing personalized mechanistic, prognostic, and therapeutic insights into the cancer biology of our cells.

Lung cancer is the malignancy with the highest incidence and mortality burden globally, ranking first in both morbidity and mortality among all types of malignant tumors. Pathologically, lung cancer is classified into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer, with NSCLC accounting for approximately 85% of cases. Due to the often subtle or nonspecific clinical manifestations in early-stage disease, many patients are diagnosed at a locally advanced or metastatic stage, where treatment options are limited and prognosis remains poor. Therefore, molecular targeted therapy focusing on driver genes has become a key strategy to improve the survival outcomes of patients with advanced NSCLC. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is one of the most common driver genes in NSCLC. While EGFR mutations occur in approximately 12% of advanced NSCLC patients globally, the incidence rises to 55.9% in Chinese patients. Among EGFR mutations, P-loop and αC-helix compressing (PACC) mutations account for about 12.5%. Currently, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have become the first-line standard treatment for advanced NSCLC patients with classical EGFR mutations, with efficacy well-established through clinical studies and real-world evidence. However, with rapid advancements in NSCLC precision medicine and deeper exploration of the EGFR mutation spectrum, EGFR PACC mutations have emerged as a key clinical focus. The structural characteristics of these mutations lead to significant variability in responses to EGFR TKIs, leaving therapeutic options still limited, while detection challenges persist due to the sensitivity constraints of current testing technologies, driving increasing demand for improved diagnostic and treatment approaches. The current clinical evidence primarily stems from retrospective analyses and small-scale exploratory studies, while prospective, large-scale, high-level evidence-based medical research specifically targeting this mutation subtype remains notably insufficient. This evidence gap has consequently led to the absence of standardized guidelines or expert consensus regarding optimal treatment strategies for advanced NSCLC with EGFR PACC mutations. As a clinical consensus specifically addressing EGFR PACC-mutant NSCLC, this document provides a comprehensive framework encompassing the clinical rationale for EGFR PACC mutation testing, therapeutic strategies for advanced-stage disease, management of treatment-related adverse events, and follow-up protocols. The consensus underscores the pivotal role of EGFR PACC mutation detection in precision medicine implementation while offering evidence-based recommendations to guide personalized therapeutic decision-making. By establishing clear clinical pathways encompassing molecular testing, therapeutic intervention, and long-term monitoring for EGFR PACC-mutant NSCLC, this consensus aims to meaningfully improve patient survival outcomes while serving as a robust, evidence-based foundation for developing personalized clinical management approaches.

Mutations in the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) gene are recognized as significant but relatively rare driver alterations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These mutations predominantly manifest as gene mutation, amplification, and protein overexpression, with an estimated prevalence from 2.8% to 15.4% among NSCLC patients in China. Research indicates that HER-2 mutations, particularly exon 20 insertions (ex20ins), are strongly correlated with aggressive tumor biology, poor prognosis, and limited responsiveness to immunotherapy, thereby exhibiting characteristics of "cold tumors". Overexpression and amplification of HER-2 are also indicative of a heightened risk of chemotherapy resistance and unfavorable survival outcomes, suggesting a distinct molecular subtype with unique biological behaviors. In recent years, novel antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), particularly trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), have demonstrated groundbreaking efficacy in HER-2-mutant advanced NSCLC patients. These ADCs have shown significant clinical benefits, including high objective response rates and progression-free survival advantages, making T-DXd the first targeted therapy approved for this patient population globally. Additionally, ADCs have exhibited therapeutic potential in patients with HER-2 overexpression, thus broadening the scope of their indications. To standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of HER-2 variant NSCLC, the Chinese Anti-cancer Association convened multidisciplinary experts from oncology, pulmonology, thoracic surgery, pathology, and molecular diagnostics to develop this consensus based on the latest evidences from both domestic and international studies, coupled with China's clinical practice experience. This consensus focuses on the molecular characteristics, clinical significance, diagnostic strategies, treatment options, and safety management of HER-2 alterations, addressing ten critical clinical questions in a systematic manner. It is recommended that HER-2 status be routinely tested at initial diagnosis, disease progression, or recurrence in NSCLC. Mutation detection should prioritize next-generation sequencing (NGS), while protein overexpression may be assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) standards for gastric cancer. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is recommended for detecting HER-2 amplification. Regarding treatment, for HER-2-mutant patients, first-line therapy may involve chemotherapy with or without immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), similar to treatment approaches for driver-gene negative populations. Upon failure of first-line treatment, trastuzumab deruxtecan, may be considered as alternative therapeutic options. For patients with HER-2 overexpression, ADCs should be considered after failure of standard systemic therapy. However, the management of HER-2 amplification remains insufficiently supported by evidence, necessitating a cautious, individualized approach. The consensus also includes detailed recommendations for screening and managing adverse effects associated with ADCs, such as interstitial lung disease (ILD), emphasizing the crucial role of safety management in ensuring treatment efficacy. The publication of this consensus aims to drive the standardization of molecular diagnosis and treatment pathways for HER-2 variant NSCLC, improve clinical outcomes and quality of life for patients, and facilitate the implementation of personalized precision treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of moxibustion on small intestinal mucosal immune barrier in rats with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) and explore its underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Of 38 newborn rats from 4 healthy SPF pregnant rats, 12 neonatal rats were randomly selected in a normal group. IBS-D model was prepared by the combined measures for the rest rats, including neonatal maternal separation, acetic acid enema and chronic restraint stress. Twenty-four successfully-modeled rats were randomized into a model group and a moxibustion group, 12 rats in each one. In the moxibustion group, suspending moxibustion was delivered at bilateral "Tianshu" (ST25) and "Shangjuxu" (ST37), 20 min each time, once daily and for 7 consecutive days. Separately, before acetic acid enema (aged 35 days), after modeling (aged 45 days) and after intervention (aged 53 days), the body mass, loose stool rate (LSR) and and the minimum volume threshold when abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) scored 3 were observed in the rats of each group. After intervention (aged 53 days), using HE and PAS staining, the morphology of duodenum was observed, the length of villus and the depth of crypt were measured, the ratio of the length of villus to the depth of crypt was calculated; and the numbers of mucosal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and goblet cells were counted. With ELISA adopted, the contents of γ-interferon (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) in duodenal mucosa of rats were detected. The proportion of T cell subsets in duodenal mucosa was detected using flow cytometry. The microvilli and tight junctions of duodenal mucosal epithelial cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy, and the integrity of duodenal mucosa observed by scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: Compared with the normal group, for the rats in the model group, the body mass, the minimum volume threshold when AWR scored 3, the length of duodenal villus and the the ratio of the length of villus to the depth of crypt, as well as the proportion of CD₈⁺ T subset were all reduced (P<0.01, P<0.05), the counts of goblet cells in duodenal mucosa decreased (P<0.01); LRS, the proportion of CD₄⁺ T subset and CD₄⁺/CD₈⁺, as well as the contents of IFN-γ, IL-4 and sIgA in duodenal mucosa and IFN-γ/IL-4 were all elevated (P<0.01); and the numbers of IELs rose (P<0.01). The morphology of duodenal mucosa was irregular, the villi got shorter, sparse and scattered, with uneven density. The morphology of epithelial cells was destroyed and the tight junctions damaged, with larger spaces. When compared with the model group, in the moxibustion group, the body mass, the minimum volume threshold when AWR scored 3, the length of duodenal villus and the ratio of the length of villus to the depth of crypt, as well as the counts of goblet cells in duodenal mucosa increased (P<0.01); LRS, the proportion of CD₄⁺ T subset, and CD₄⁺/CD₈⁺, as well as the contents of IFN-γ, IL-4 and sIgA in duodenal mucosa and IFN-γ/IL-4 were reduced (P<0.01); and the numbers of IELs was dropped (P<0.01). The morphology of duodenal mucosa was more regular, the villi were grew, got longer and arranged regularly, with even density. The morphology of epithelial cells was slightly destroyed, and the tight junctions partially damaged. CONCLUSION Moxibustion at "Tianshu" (ST25) and "Shangjuxu" (ST37) can reduce visceral hypersensitivity in IBS-D rats and relieve abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Its effect mechanism may be related to the repair of small intestinal mucosal immune barrier and the improvement in the immune function in IBS-D.

BACKGROUND: Molecular subtyping is an essential complementarity after pathological analyses for targeted therapy. This study aimed to investigate the consistency of next-generation sequencing (NGS) results between circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-based and tissue-based in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and identify the patient characteristics that favor ctDNA testing. METHODS: Patients who diagnosed with NSCLC and received both ctDNA- and cancer tissue-based NGS before surgery or systemic treatment in Lung Cancer Center, Sichuan University West China Hospital between December 2017 and August 2022 were enrolled. A 425-cancer panel with a HiSeq 4000 NGS platform was used for NGS. The unweighted Cohen's kappa coefficient was employed to discriminate the high-concordance group from the low-concordance group with a cutoff value of 0.6. Six machine learning models were used to identify patient characteristics that relate to high concordance between ctDNA-based and tissue-based NGS. RESULTS: A total of 85 patients were enrolled, of which 22.4% (19/85) had stage III disease and 56.5% (48/85) had stage IV disease. Forty-four patients (51.8%) showed consistent gene mutation types between ctDNA-based and tissue-based NGS, while one patient (1.2%) tested negative in both approaches. Patients with advanced diseases and metastases to other organs would be suitable for the ctDNA-based NGS, and the generalized linear model showed that T stage, M stage, and tumor mutation burden were the critical discriminators to predict the consistency of results between ctDNA-based and tissue-based NGS. CONCLUSION ctDNA-based NGS showed comparable detection performance in the targeted gene mutations compared with tissue-based NGS, and it could be considered in advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of subsequent radiotherapy (RT) following first-line treatment with durvalumab plus chemotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). METHODS: A total of 122 patients with ES-SCLC from three hospitals during July 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis was performed to address potential confounding factors. The primary focus of our evaluation was to assess the impact of RT on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: After IPTW analysis, 49 patients received durvalumab plus platinum-etoposide (EP) chemotherapy followed by RT (Durva + EP + RT) and 72 patients received immunochemotherapy (Durva + EP). The median OS was 17.2 months vs . 12.3 months (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.17-0.85, P = 0.020), and the median PFS was 8.9 months vs . 5.9 months (HR: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.32-0.97, P = 0.030) in Durva + EP + RT and Durva + EP groups, respectively. Thoracic radiation therapy (TRT) resulted in longer OS (17.2 months vs . 14.7 months) and PFS (9.1 months vs . 7.2 months) compared to RT directed to other metastatic sites. Among patients with oligo-metastasis, RT also showed significant benefits, with a median OS of 17.4 months vs . 13.7 months and median PFS of 9.8 months vs . 5.9 months compared to no RT. Continuous durvalumab treatment beyond progression (TBP) prolonged OS compared to patients without TBP, in both the Durva + EP + RT (NA vs . 15.8 months, HR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.14-1.63, P = 0.238) and Durva + EP groups (12.3 months vs . 4.3 months, HR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.10-0.81, P = 0.018). Grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred in 13 (26.5%) and 13 (18.1%) patients, respectively, in the two groups; pneumonitis was mostly low-grade. CONCLUSION Addition of RT after first-line immunochemotherapy significantly improved survival outcomes with manageable toxicity in ES-SCLC.

BACKGROUND: Durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) failed to bring survival benefits to patients with epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) mutations in PACIFIC study (evaluating durvalumab in patients with stage III, unresectable NSCLC who did not have disease progression after concurrent chemoradiotherapy). We aimed to explore whether locally advanced inoperable patients with EGFR mutations benefit from tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and the optimal treatment regimen. METHODS: We searched the PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases from inception to December 31, 2022 and performed a meta-analysis based on a Bayesian framework, with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) as the primary endpoints. RESULTS: A total of 1156 patients were identified in 16 studies that included 6 treatment measures, including CRT, CRT followed by durvalumab (CRT-Durva), TKI monotherapy, radiotherapy combined with TKI (RT-TKI), CRT combined with TKI (CRT-TKI), and TKI combined with durvalumab (TKI-Durva). The PFS of patients treated with TKI-containing regimens was significantly longer than that of patients treated with TKI-free regimens (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.20-0.66). The PFS of TKI monotherapy was significantly longer than that of CRT (HR = 0.66, 95% CI, 0.50-0.87) but shorter than RT-TKI (HR = 1.78, 95% CI, 1.17-2.67). Furthermore, the PFS of RT-TKI or CRT-TKI were both significantly longer than that of CRT or CRT-Durva. RT-TKI ranked first in the Bayesian ranking, with the longest OS (60.8 months, 95% CI = 37.2-84.3 months) and the longest PFS (21.5 months, 95% CI, 15.4-27.5 months) in integrated analysis. CONCLUSIONS: For unresectable stage III EGFR mutant NSCLC, RT and TKI are both essential. Based on the current evidence, RT-TKI brings a superior survival advantage, while CRT-TKI needs further estimation. Large randomized clinical trials are urgently needed to explore the appropriate application sequences of TKI, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.
