The traditional theory of "the spleen governs the dispersion of essence" refers to the spleen's pivotal role in distributing refined nutrients throughout the body. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), lipids are categorized under "gaozhi (膏脂)", and their transportation and metabolism via apolipoproteins are believed to be closely related to the spleen's dispersing function. The liver, which synthesizes apolipoproteins, is functionally linked to the spleen system in TCM. Impaired dispersion of essence by the spleen and disrupted transportation of gaozhi constitute the pathological mechanism of dyslipidemia due to spleen deficiency. Strengthening the spleen and resolving dampness is the core therapeutic principle. From the perspective of modern medicine, this may involve promoting hepatic functional recovery related to lipid metabolism, thereby enhancing lipid processing and reducing the levels of abnormally accumulated lipids in the bloodstream.

Objective:To investigate the situation of computed tomography(CT)equipment and socio economic development of various grades and classifications of medical institutions in Jiangsu Province,and to analyze the interrelationship between them.Methods:From October 20,2023 to November 20,2023,a questionnaire survey was conducted on imported and domestic CT equipment of various grades and classifications of medical institutions in 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province through online questionnaire survey of"questionnaire star".The gross domestic product(GDP)of each prefecture-level city in Jiangsu province was used as an indicator of measuring the level of socio-economic development in the region.The CT number,the row number of detector,quality of image,the total examination case number of daily average and the daily average case number of single machine examination of medical institutions of various grades and classifications of 13 prefecture-level cities were used to conduct correlation analysis with GDP values of various districts.Results:A total of 910 questionnaires were distributed,and 512 questionnaires were retrieved.There were 482 valid questionnaires in the 512 questionnaires,and the valid rate was 94.15,which involved to 482 various grade and classification institutions of 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu province.The number of imported and domestic CT equipment in the 13 prefecture-level cities of Jiangsu Province positively correlated with the GDP of each city(r=0.882,0.880,P<0.001).The number of imported CT equipment with 64 rows and more than 64 rows,and with less than 64 rows,and the number of domestic CT equipment with 64 rows and more than 64 rows,and with less than 64 rows all positively correlated with the GDP of each city(r=0.880,0.881,0.736,0.897,P<0.05).The total number of daily average of examinations for imported and domestic CT equipment of 13 prefecture-level cities positively correlated with the GDP of each city(r=0.774,0.814,P<0.05).There were no significant difference in the image quality and the daily average case number of single machine examination between the domestic CT equipment and the imported CT equipment(P>0.05).Conclusion:The medical institutions of city with high level of economic development have more quantitative and more high-end CT equipment,and the quality of image of domestic CT equipment is equal to that of imported CT equipment regardless of the high and low level of economic development.

Objective:To investigate the views of doctors on the incidence and treatment tactics of mild progression after epithelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor(EGFR-TKI)treatment in lung adenocarcinoma and provide suggestions to optimize the counter-measure strategies.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to conduct an online questionnaire survey for doctors specializing in onco-logy and respiratory diseases.Results:584 valid questionnaires were collected,and all the doctors expressed concerns regarding mild tumor progression after EGFR-TKI treatment.The coping strategies included maintaining the original TKI treatment,adding other treatments to the original TKI,changing the regimen,and performing secondary tissue biopsy,among which,most doctors chose to add other treatments to the original TKI.Conclusions:Doctors have noticed the enlargement of target lesions in still stable disease(SD)and most frequently chose to add other treatments to the original TKI as a coping strategy.This finding can provide a reference for framing future guidelines for large sample prospective clinical studies that are needed to find the most effective synergistic treatment options.

ObjectiveTo dynamically observe the clinical symptoms and pathological changes in a rat model of vinorelbine-induced phlebitis via injection into the dorsalis pedis vein. MethodsTwenty-eight 11-week-old male SPF-grade SD rats were randomly divided into a model group (n=20) and a control group (n=8). The model group received a single injection of 0.1 mL vinorelbine solution (4 mg/mL) via the right hind limb dorsalis pedis vein, while the control group received an equal volume of normal saline via the same method. The occurrence and grading of phlebitis in both groups were observed and recorded daily. The volume of the injured limb was measured by the drainage method to calculate the swelling rate. The weight-bearing ratio of the injured limb was assessed using a bipedal balance pain meter, and the skin temperature of the injured limb was measured by infrared thermal imaging. These measurements were conducted for 9 consecutive days. Starting from day 1, three rats from the model group were euthanized every other day. A 1-cm segment of the vein extending proximally from the injection site was collected. Pathological changes in the vein tissue were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and ultrastructural changes of the vascular endothelium were observed using scanning electron microscopy. ResultsCompared to the control group, the injected hindlimb of model rats showed redness and swelling on day 1, with the swelling rate peaking at (81.89±15.75) % on day 3 (P<0.001), then gradually alleviating and decreasing to (15.41±0.33) % by day 9 (P<0.01). Pain was observed in the affected limbs of model rats on day 1 and worsened markedly on day 3, with the weight-bearing ratio decreasing to (36.35±4.91)% (P<0.001). Meanwhile, the skin temperature of the lesion site increased, reaching (36.36±0.40) ℃ on day 5 (P<0.001). Both pain and fever returned to near normal levels by day 9. Phlebitis grading in the model group showed that 75.0% of rats were grade Ⅱ on day 1; grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ each accounted for 37.5% on day 3; from days 5 to 9, most rats exhibited cord-like veins, predominantly grade III. Venous tissue showed peripheral edema and inflammatory cell infiltration on day 1, which gradually progressed to intimal rupture, vessel wall thickening, and even lumen narrowing from day 3 to 9. The venous intima exhibited destruction of tight junctions between endothelial cells and adhesion of blood cells, progressing to roughened, wrinkled, and protruding intimal surfaces. ConclusionThe vinorelbine-induced phlebitis of dorsal foot vein in rat model is characterized by local redness, swelling, warmth, and pain from days 3 to 5, which largely resolve by day 9, although cord-like veins can still be observed. With disease progression, venous tissue develops edema, vessel wall thickening, and lumen narrowing. The venous intima shows rupture, roughening, and in some cases, complete loss.

The strategy of pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with localized intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer(PCa)has been one of the research hotspots in recent years. This review synthesizes recent progress in clinical,diagnostic imaging and immunological aspects of pelvic lymph node dissection.It is found that the detection rate of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with localized intermediate-risk PCa is relatively low,and the survival benefit after dissection is not significant. PSMA PET/CT examination can be used instead of lymph node dissection for staging. Extended lymph node dissection in patients with localized high-risk PCa can achieve a higher detection rate of metastatic lymph nodes and possible survival benefits. However,excessive lymph node dissection can weaken the response ability to immunotherapy. The strategy for pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with localized intermediate-high-risk PCa needs further study.
