Atherosclerosis is a complex pathological condition resulting from lipid deposition， chronic inflammatory responses， and fibrosis， with a prolonged disease course and multifactorial etiology. Based on the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） theory of accumulation syndrome， atherosclerosis can be classified under this category， with its pathogenesis involving phlegm， blood stasis， deficiency， and accumulation. This paper proposed a stage-based intervention strategy using the four therapeutic principles of "attacking， supplementing， dispersing， dissipating"， and divided into six stages based on the pathological progression， including the stage of accumulation before formation， the stage of accumulation already formed， the stage of nucleus accumulation， the stage of nucleus accumulation decay， the stage of nucleus accumulation consolidation， and the stage of severe stenosis of nucleus. At different stages， the intervention focuses on reinforcing healthy qi and consolidating the root， tonifying the kidneys and spleen， dispersing and removing turbidity， removing phlegm stagnation， promoting qi circulation， dispersing accumulations and removing stasis， attacking accumulation and expelling stasis， directing the turbid downward and dispersing accumulation， and treatment would be adjusted based on specific symptoms， which provides a theoretical framework for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis with TCM.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of different chemotherapy combination regimens for first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer （mCRC）. METHODS PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase and Web of Science were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled clinical trial （RCT） on first-line treatment for mCRC from January 1， 2000 to February 16， 2025. Two reviewers independently screened literature， extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Network meta-analysis was performed by using R4.4.3 and Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS A total of 28 RCTs， involving 16 intervention measures， were included. In terms of prolonging progression-free survival （PFS） and overall survival （OS）， FOLFOX （5-fluorouracil+oxaliplatin+calcium folinate regimen）+cetuximab had the highest probability of ranking first. In terms of improving objective response rate （ORR）， FOLFOXIRI （5-fluorouracil+oxaliplatin+irinotecan+calcium folinate regimen）+ bevacizumab and FOLFOX+bevacizumab+nivolumab had the highest probability of ranking first； in terms of the incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse reactions， FOLFOXIRI+panitumumab had the highest probability of ranking first； in subgroup analysis of KRAS wild-type patients， FOLFIRI （5-fluorouracil+irinotecan+calcium folinate regimen）+panitumumab and FOLFIRI+bevacizumab had the highest probability of ranking first in terms of prolonging PFS and OS， respectively； in terms of ORR， FOLFOXIRI+ cetuximab had the highest probability of ranking first. CONCLUSIONS In first-line treatment for mCRC， FOLFOX combined with targeted therapy has advantages in terms of efficacy and safety. However， individualized treatment strategies should be formulated based on the KRAS gene status and tumor location of patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of blue light on the dioptric development of the eyes of lens-induced myopia(LIM)guinea pigs.Methods Three-week-old trichromatic guinea pigs were randomly divided into three groups:control group,white light LIM(WL)group,and blue light LIM(BL)group(420 nm LED light,with an illuminance of 700 lx);guinea pigs in the latter two groups wore-10.00 D lenses in their right eyes to induce myopia.All guinea pigs under-went a 12 h light/12 h dark treatment cycle.Before and 2,4 weeks after the intervention,the diopter,axial length,retinal thickness and choroidal thickness were measured in all groups.After 4 weeks of intervention,the corneal fluorescent stai-ning and retinal Hematoxylin and Eosin(HE)staining were conducted.Results Compared with the control group,from week 0 to week 2 of the intervention(changes in weeks 0-2),the eyes in the WL group drifted(-2.22±1.28)D towards myopia,the axial length lengthened by(0.40±0.05)mm,and the retinal and choroidal thicknesses reduced by(-7.42± 7.04)μm and(-6.29±4.66)μm,respectively;compared with the WL group,in the BL group,the eyes drifted toward hyperopia by(0.48±1.16)D,the axial length increased by(0.20±0.10)mm,and retinal and choroidal thicknesses in-creased by(1.36±7.46)μm and(8.05±8.08)μm,respectively(all P＜0.05).From week 2 to week 4(changes in weeks 2-4),compared with the control group,the diopter in the WL and BL groups progressed towards myopia,with changes of(-4.64±0.50)D and(-2.11±2.02)D,respectively(both P＜0.05);the axial length lengthened,and reti-nal and choroidal thicknesses reduced in the WL group,with changes of(0.44±0.06)mm,(-7.35±5.87)μm and(-4.84±2.61)μm,while the choroidal thickness and the retinal thickness decreased in the BL group,with changes of(-0.33±5.95)μm and(-4.78±4.96)μm,respectively.Observations of corneal fluorescence staining and retinal HE staining indicated that prolonged blue light exposure could lead to damage to corneal and retinal cells.Conclusion Blue light may influence the development of myopia through choroid-related mechanisms,but its inhibitory effect is not positive-ly correlated with time.Prolonged exposure to blue light can damage the cornea and retina,thereby reducing the inhibitory effect.

Objective To explore the effectiveness evaluation and survival analysis of immune check-point inhibitors combined with anti-angiogenic therapy and chemotherapy as first-line treatment for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).Methods Thirty cases of EC-SCLC treated in department of Oncolo-gy,Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were selected as the study subjects and treated by etoposide+lobaplatin+anlotinib+sintilimab firstline treatment,the therapeutic effect,improvement of living quality and adverse reactions were evaluated.Results The follow up was until August 2023.The median overall survival (OS) time was 17.3(15.1,19.4)months,the 1 year OS rate was 83.3% (95%CI:64.3%-94.1%).The median progression-free (PFS) time was 8.7(6.4,12.1)months,there was 1 case of complete remission (CR),24 cases of partial remission (PR),3 cases of stable disease (SD) and 2 cases of progress of disease (PD),the objective remission rate (ORR) was 83.3%,the disease con-trol rate (DCR) was 93.3%.Twenty-three cases (76.7%) developed different adverse reactions without more than grade three or above adverse reactions occurrence.Conclusion The etoposide+lobaplatin+anlotinib+si-ntilimab firstline treatment regimen obviously prolong median OS and PFS durations,moreover the adverse reactions are controlled.

Objective To observe the effect of Shenqi Chongcao (SQCC) Formula on the ASS1/src/STAT3 signaling pathway in a rat model of lung fibrosis and explore its therapeutic mechanism. Methods A total of 120 male SD rats were divided equally into 5 groups, including a blank control group with saline treatment and 4 groups of rat models of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis induced by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin. One day after modeling, the rat models were treated with daily gavage of 10 mL/kg saline, SQCC decoction (0.423 g/kg), pirfenidone (10 mL/kg), or intraperitoneal injection of arginine deiminase (ADI; 2.25 mg/kg, every 3 days) for 28 days. After the treatments, the lung tissues of the rats were collected for calculating the lung/body weight ratio, observing histopathology using HE and Masson staining, and analyzing the inflammatory cells in BALF using Giemsa staining. Serum chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) levels were measured with ELISA. The protein expressions of src, p-srcTry529, STAT3, and p-STAT3Try705 and the mRNA expressions of ASS1, src and STAT3 in the lung tissues were detected using Western blotting and RT-qPCR. Results The neutrophil, macrophage and lymphocyte counts and serum levels of CCL2 and TGF-β1 were significantly lower in SQCC, pirfenidone and ADI treatment groups than in the model group at each time point of measurement (P<0.05). P-srcTry529 and p-STAT3Try705 protein expression levels and ASS1, src, and STAT3 mRNA in the lung tissues were also significantly lower in the 3 treatment groups than in the model group (P<0.05). Conclusion SQCC Formula can alleviate lung fibrosis in rats possibly by activating the ASS1/src/STAT3 signaling pathway in the lung tissues.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers in the world.Over the past few decades,there has been considerable research reporting on the mechanisms of cancer development and progression,with multiple nerve as well as neurotransmitters involved.Nerve innervation is also found in ovarian cancer.And in ovarian cancer,various nerves and neurotransmitters play different roles.They are involved in ovarian cancer cells'proliferation metastasis,apoptosis and changes in the tumor microenvironment.Further understanding of the role of these nerve endings in the development of ovarian cancer is essential for understanding the mechanisms of cancer progression.This will be important for subsequent research focusing on tumor regulation.While glucocorticoids and sympathetic nerve-released norepinephrine are able to promote ovarian cancer progression,serotonin may inhibit cancer cell growth.Also,parasympathetic and sensory nerves are capable of having either a positive or negative effect on ovarian tumors.These relevant studies offer the possibility of new therapeutic options for oncology,it may be possible to mitigate the progression of cancer with inexpensive receptor inhibitors or agonists.This will facilitate the subsequent exploration of therapeutic possibilities forovarian cancer and other cancer-related treatments.In this review,we also present some insights into the role of the nervous system in the regulation of ovarian cancer,which we hope will provide new insights into the innervation and progression of ovarian cancer.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan(T-Dxd)in the treatment of breast cancer.Methods PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,Web of Science,SinoMed,CNKI,WanFang Data,and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of T-Dxd(test group)versus chemotherapeutic agents or other antineoplastic agents(control group)from inception to February 15,2024.Two reviewers independently screened the literature,extracted data,and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3.1 software.Results A total of 3 RCTs involving 1 689 patients were included.The results of the Meta-analysis indicated that the progression-free survival(PFS)(HR=0.37,95％CI 0.27 to 0.51,P＜0.001),overall survival(OS)(HR=0.63,95％CI 0.53 to 0.75,P＜0.001),and objective response rate(ORR)(RR=2.52,95％CI 2.21 to 2.88,P＜0.001)in the test group were significantly superior to or higher than those of the control group.The incidence of drug-related interstitial lung disease(RR=10.82,95％CI 4.83 to 24.23,P＜0.001)and reduced ejection fraction(RR=5.05,95％CI 1.91 to 13.33,P=0.001)was significantly higher in patients in the test group than in the control group.Subgroup analysis showed that hormone receptor-positive and hormone receptor-negativity,brain metastasis,and no brain metastasis patients who received T-Dxd had longer PFS(P＜0.001).The results of sensitivity analysis showed that the results obtained were more robust when PFS,OS,and ORR were used as indicators.Conclusion Current evidence suggests that T-Dxd can prolong PFS and OS and improve ORR in breast cancer than chemotherapeutic agents or other antineoplastic agents,however,it may increase the risk of interstitial lung disease and reduce ejection fraction.Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies,more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.

Background and purpose:There is a consensus within the medical community regarding the perioperative treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer(LAGC),yet the selection of an efficient and safe treatment strategy remains a contentious issue.Previous studies have validated the effectiveness of chemotherapy in conjunction with immune checkpoint inhibitor(ICI)and anti-angiogenic agents in the perioperative treatment of LAGC.This study aimed to investigate the perioperative treatment regimen combining ICI,anti-angiogenic drugs and chemotherapy,in order to provide additional references for the selection of perioperative treatment strategies for patients with LAGC.Methods:This was a prospective,single-arm exploratory study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of perioperative treatment with penpulimab combined with anlotinib and chemotherapy for potentially resectable stage T3-4N+M0 LAGC.Patients diagnosed with LAGC at the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were enrolled in the study.The primary endpoints were pathological complete response(pCR)rate and major pathological remission(MPR)rate,while secondary endpoints included surgical conversion rate,objective response rate(ORR),disease-free survival(DFS),progression-free survival(PFS)and adverse reactions.Quality of life before and after treatment was evaluated using the European Organization for Research on Treatment of Cancer(EORTC)QLQ-STO22 Chinese version questionnaire.This study was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Hospital(number:202404604L).Results:A total of 32 patients participated in the study,with an ORR of 78.1%(25/32).Of these,18 patients underwent surgical treatment,achieving a pCR rate of 22.2%(4/18)and a MPR rate of 38.9%(7/18).The median PFS for patients who did not undergo surgery was 9.8 months(95%CI:7.6-13.1),and the median follow-up duration was 16.4 months(95%CI:11.7-22.5).For patients who received radical surgical resection,the median DFS was not reached,and the 1-year DFS rate was 88.8%(16/18).Common adverse reactions following the treatment included myelosuppression,liver function abnormalities,diarrhea and neurotoxicity,with most adverse events being grade 1-2,a few grade 3 adverse events,and no grade 4 or 5 adverse events.According to the EORTC QLQ-STO22 Chinese version questionnaire,significant improvements were observed in the domains of difficulty swallowing,pain and eating restrictions.Additionally,improvements were noted in anxiety and reflux symptoms,while changes in body image were less pronounced.Conclusion:In the perioperative treatment of LAGC,the combination therapy of oxaliplatin,tegafur,anlotinib and penpulimab can improve the efficacy while ensuring safety,and is expected to become a new treatment for LAGC.
