Cancer represents a major worldwide disease burden marked by escalating incidence and mortality. While therapeutic advances persist, developing safer and precisely targeted modalities remains imperative. Nanomedicines emerges as a transformative paradigm leveraging distinctive physicochemical properties to achieve tumor-specific drug delivery, controlled release, and tumor microenvironment modulation. By synergizing passive enhanced permeation and retention effect-driven accumulation and active ligand-mediated targeting, nanoplatforms enhance pharmacokinetics, promote tumor microenvironment enrichment, and improve cellular internalization while mitigating systemic toxicity. Despite revolutionizing cancer therapy through enhanced treatment efficacy and reduced adverse effects, translational challenges persist in manufacturing scalability, longterm biosafety, and cost-efficiency. This review systematically analyzes cutting-edge nanoplatforms, including polymeric, lipidic, biomimetic, albumin-based, peptide engineered, DNA origami, and inorganic nanocarriers, while evaluating their strategic advantages and technical limitations across three therapeutic domains: immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. By assessing structure-function correlations and clinical translation barriers, this work establishes mechanistic and translational references to advance oncological nanomedicine development.

Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a widely utilized therapeutic approach for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, the clinical implementation is constrained by the stringent preparation conditions of radioembolization agents. Herein, we incorporated the superstable homogeneous iodinated formulation technology (SHIFT), simultaneously utilizing an enhanced solvent form in a carbon dioxide supercritical fluid environment, to encapsulate radionuclides (such as ¹³¹I,¹⁷⁷Lu, or ¹⁸F) with lipiodol for the preparation of radiolipiodol. The resulting radiolipiodol exhibited exceptional stability and ultra-high labeling efficiency (≥99%) and displayed notable intratumoral radionuclide retention and in vivo stability more than 2 weeks following locoregional injection in subcutaneous tumors in mice and orthotopic liver tumors in rats and rabbits. Given these encouraging findings, ¹⁸F was authorized as a radiotracer in radiolipiodol for clinical trials in HCC patients, and showed a favorable tumor accumulation, with a tumor-to-liver uptake ratio of ≥50 and minimal radionuclide leakage, confirming the feasibility of SHIFT for TARE applications. In the context of transforming from preclinical to clinical screening, the preparation of radiolipiodol by SHIFT represents an innovative physical strategy for radionuclide encapsulation. Hence, this work offers a reliable and efficient approach for TARE in HCC, showing considerable promise for clinical application (ChiCTR2400087731).

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics of different types of neonatal sepsis.Methods:From January 2012 to December 2019, neonates with confirmed sepsis from 5 neonatal centers of central-south China were reviewed. The neonates were assigned into early-onset sepsis (EOS) and late-onset sepsis (LOS) group, and the latter was further subgrouped into hospital-acquired LOS (hLOS) group and community-acquired LOS (cLOS) group. The etiological and clinical characteristics were analyzed. SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 580 neonates were enrolled, including 286 (49.3%) in the EOS group and 294 (50.7%) in the LOS group. In LOS group, 147 were in hLOS group and 147 were in cLOS group. The gestational age and birth weight of hLOS group were significantly lower than the other two groups [(32.7±3.6) weeks vs. (37.1±3.7) weeks and (37.7±3.0) weeks, (1 810±717) g vs. (2 837±865) g and (3 024±710) g] ( P<0.05). The common pathogens in EOS and cLOS groups were coagulase-negative staphylococci and Escherichia coli, while Klebsiella pneumoniae was common in hLOS group. Carbapenems usage in the hLOS group was significantly higher than the other two groups [62.6% vs. 28.7% and 16.2%] ( P<0.05). Antibiotics duration in the hLOS group was longer than the other two groups [19 (14, 27) d vs. 15 (12, 20) d and 14 (12, 19) d] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of neonatal sepsis vary among different types of infections, and it is necessary to establish appropriate prevention, control, diagnosis and treatment protocols.

Objective:To determine the oxygen concentration threshold for explosion induced by high-frequency electric knife or argon knife at different energies.Methods:① In vivo experiment The smooth muscle tissue or adipose-rich tissue in 10 pairs of isolated porcine lungs and trachea was electrocauterized at 30 and 50 W with high-frequency electroknife or argon knife at different oxygen concentrations.The initial oxygen concentration was 20%, the oxygen concentration was gradually increased in increments of 5% until the oxygen concentration reached 80%.Each sample was electrocauterized 10 times at each concentration, and the number of explosion was recorded.As long as one explosion occurred, it could be considered that the concentration could induce explosion, and the minimum oxygen concentration inducing explosion was considered as the threshold.② Measurement of oxygen concentration in the airway of patients received bronchoscopic intervention Thirty patients scheduled for elective bronchoscopy with cryotherapy were selected, the oxygen concentration inhaled was reduced from 100% until 50% in decrements of 10%, and the oxygen concentration in airway was measured with the AIRVO 2 transnasal high-flow oxygen inhalation device.ICC consistency analysis was performed between the oxygen concentration in airway and oxygen concentration inhaled. Results:In adipose-rich tissues, the threshold of the oxygen concentration for explosion was 70% at 30 W and 65% at 50 W when using the high-frequency electric knife; the threshold of the oxygen concentration for explosion was 35% at 30 W and 30% at 50 W when using the high-frequency argon knife.In smooth muscle tissues, no explosion occurred at each oxygen concentration when using the high-frequency electric knife and argon knife at 30 or 50 W, and the threshold value was above 80%.There was moderate consistency (ICC value 0.722, 95% CI 0.537-0.850, P<0.001) between the oxygen concentration in airway and oxygen concentration inhaled. Conclusions:In smooth muscle tissues, explosion is not easy to occur at oxygen concentrations below 80% when using the high-frequency electric knife or argon knife.In adipose-rich tissues, explosion is not easy to occur at oxygen concentrations less than 70% at 30 W and at oxygen concentrations less than 65% at 50 W when using the high-frequency electric knife; explosion is not easy to occur at oxygen concentrations less than 35% at 30 W and at oxygen concentrations less than 30% at 50 W when using the high-frequency argon knife.The threshold of oxygen concentrations in airway can be determined using the oxygen concentration inhaled.

Objective:To summarize the effect of reverse homodigital dorsal thumb flap in repairing thumb pulp defect.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of patients with thumb pulp defects admitted to the People's Hospital of Renqiu from March 2010 to June 2020.

【Objective】 To explore the value of thromboelastogram (TEG) in evaluating coagulation function of patients with liver cancer. 【Methods】 102 patients with liver cancer and 48 with hepatic hemangioma from Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Nanyang Central Hospital from August 2017 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. TEG indicators (R, K, Angle, MA, CI, and G value) and routine coagulation indicators (Plt, PT, INR, APTT, FIB, and TT) of those patients and basic clinical data of liver cancer patients were collected, and the difference of detection parameters between the liver cancer group and liver hemangioma group was compared; The difference of TEG parameters in liver cancer patient subgroups was compared, and the correlation between TEG and routine coagulation tests in liver cancer patients was analyzed using Spearman rank correlation analysis. The sensitivity of the two detection methods in detecting the coagulation status of patients with liver cancer was compared. 【Results】 1) Compared with patients with hepatic hemangioma, Plts decreased significantly (166.6±108.824 vs 224.10±54.933, P<0.001), while PT, INR and APTT values increased significantly (13.12±2.052 vs 11.421±0.884, 1.156±0.191 vs 1.00±0.074, 29.977±5.333 vs 26.954±5.269, all P<0.05) in patients with liver cancer; MA and G values in patients with liver cancer were lower (56.991±11.574 vs 60.069±5.094, 7.667±4.682 vs 7.725±1.709, P<0.05); 2) Compared with newly diagnosed liver cancer patients, the Plt of re-diagnosed liver cancer patients decreased significantly(125.78±79.673 vs 188.86±116.437, P<0.05); the R and K value increased significantly (7.594±2.601 vs 6.058±1.739, 3.453±2.402 vs 2.438±1.990, all P<0.05), while the Angle, MA, CI and G value decreased significantly (53.897±12.288 vs 61.495±9.949, 53.556±11.407 vs 58.865±11.313, -3.494±4.253vs -0.836±3.180, 6.311±3.209 vs 8.406±5.191, all P<0.05); 3) There were significant differences in TEG parameters (R value excluded) between liver resection, transhepatic arterial chemoembolization and conservative treatment (P<0.05); 4) The R, K value of patients with liver cancer were negatively correlated with the Plt value, while the Angle, MA, CI, and G value were positively correlated with Plt value (P<0.001); the K value was negatively correlated with the Fib value, while the Angle, MA, CI, G value were positively correlated with Fib value (P<0.001); the R and K value were positively correlated with TT value, while the Angle and CI were negatively correlated with TT value (P<0.05); 5) The detection rate of hypocoagulability by TEG and routine coagulation testing was 18.63% (19/102) and 7.84%. 【Conclusion】 Compared with the newly diagnosed liver cancer patients, re-diagnosed liver cancer patients showed hypercoagulability. TEG can diagnose the coagulation abnormalties more sensitively, and help reduce the risk of bleeding.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of reverse proximal segment dorsal flap of radial digital artery of the thumb in repairing thumb tip defects.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 56 patients with thumb tip defects admitted to Renqiu People 's Hospital from February 2010 to October 2020. There were 37 males and 19 females，aged 17-66 years［（37.8±12.2）years］. The injury on the right side was observed in 35 patients and on the left side in 21 patients. All of them were thumb tip defects with exposed distal phalanx. Dimension of skin defects was 2.9 cm×1.8 cm-3.3 cm×2.6 cm.The reverse proximal segment dorsal flap of thumb radial digital artery was used，with the dorsal digital nerve sutured with the proper digital nerve. The donor site was repaired with free skin graft from the ulnar side of the affected forearm. The time of flap harvesting，operation time and healing of the flap were measured. At the last follow-up，the shape，texture，sensory recovery and complications of the flap were observed. One month after operation and at the latest follow-up，the upper limb function evaluation standard set up by hand surgery branch of Chinese Medical Association and Vancouver Scar Scale（VSS）score were used to evaluate the recovery of sensory function of the flap and scar formation of the donor sites，respectively. Results:All patients were followed up for 6-26 months［（13.2±6.4）months］. The time of flap harvesting ranged from 20 to 35 minutes［（26.0±5.3）minutes］. The operation time was 1-2 hours［（1.3±0.3）hours］. Blisters appeared at the distal end of the flap in 2 patients after operation，but they were not treated. After 7 days，the blisters subsided and the flaps survived. The other flaps survived successfully. The donor sites healed by first intention. At the last follow-up，the flaps showed relatively cosmetic appearance，similarities in texture，elasticity and color to the surrounding area and good sensory recovery，without scar contracture and dystrophy of interphalangeal joint. According to the upper limb function evaluation standard set up by hand surgery branch of Chinese Medical Association，56 patients exceeded S3 grade compared to none at postoperative 1 month（ P<0.01），and the VSS score was 3-7 points［（5.0±1.4）points］compared to 6-12 points［（8.8±1.5）points］at postoperative 1 month（ P<0.01）. The donor site left a linear scar，which had no significant effect on its shape and function. Conclusion:The reverse proximal segment dorsal flap of the radial digital artery of the thumb can be used to repair thumb tip defects，for it has advantages of easy operation，a high survival rate as well as good appearance and sensory function recovery，with less damage to the donor area.

Objective:To report our clinical efficacy of pedicled transplantation of proximal thumb dorsal transverse flap to repair tissue defects at thumb pulp and fingertip.Methods:From February 2010 to November 2020, 97 patients with tissue defects at thumb pulp and fingertip were treated by pedicled transplantation of proximal thumb dorsal transverse flap at Department of Orthopedics, People's Hospital of Renqiu. They were 55 men and 42 women, aged from 17 to 66 years (average, 41.3 years). Altogether 55 right and 42 left sides were affected. The size of soft tissue defects ranged from 2.8 cm×1.8 cm to 3.9 cm×2.8 cm. Postoperatively, flap survival, shape, color and sensory recovery at the recipient area were observed; wound healing, function and complications at the donor site were also observed.Results:All the 97 flaps survived and all the wounds healed at the first stage. Blisters appeared at the distal end of the flap in only 2 cases but subsided 7 days after operation with no special treatment and the flaps survived smoothly. All the skin grafts at the donor site survived uneventfully. The 97 patients were followed up for 6 to 26 months (average, 10.7 months). Their flaps were not swollen, finger abdomen was full, finger appearance satisfactory, and finger feeling recovered well. The two-point discrimination at the last follow-up ranged from 4 to 11 mm (average, 7.6 mm). By the trial criteria for assessment of upper limb function suggested by Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association, sensory function of the affected finger was assessed as S 4 in 21 cases and as S 3+ in 76 cases at the last follow-up. No scar contracture was observed at the donor site and no movement restriction at the interphalangeal joint. Conclusion:Proximal thumb dorsal transverse flap is a reliable choice for reconstruction of complex tissue defects at thumb pulp and fingertip because of the advantages of easy harvest, constant vascular anatomy, full appearance and good sensory function at the recipient site, and limited damage to the donor site.
