According to the latest GLOBOCAN data released in 2024, esophageal cancer ranks the 11th in global cancer incidence and represents the 7th leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In 2022, there were approximately 511000 newly diagnosed cases of esophageal cancer and 445000 deaths globally. On February 28, 2025, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) published updated clinical practice guidelines for esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancers (version 1.2025). This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the major diagnostic and therapeutic updates in the guidelines compared to the version 5.2024, encompassing key domains including screening stratification protocols, perioperative treatment optimization strategies, dynamic efficacy evaluation systems, molecular subtyping-guided therapeutic approaches, and immunotherapy expansion algorithms. The findings aim to provide references for esophageal cancer treatment in China.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a prevalent and serious cardiovascular disease characterized by a complex inflammatory response and myocardial tissue remodeling. The early inflammatory response plays a key role in the aftermath of AMI, promoting myocardial injury and repair. At the same time, ventricular remodeling, as a physiological process after AMI, involves myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, dilation, and remodeling, which has a profound impact on cardiac function and prognosis. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the mechanism of action of early inflammation and ventricular remodeling after AMI. In this paper, the mechanism of early inflammation and ventricular remodeling after AMI was systematically reviewed, focusing on the dynamic changes of inflammatory mediators after AMI and the correlation between ventricular remodeling and prognosis, hoping to provide guidance and reference for the prevention, treatment, and prognosis of AMI.

Objective:To explore the research status, research focus and development trend of nursing human resource allocation in nursing homes in China.Methods:The article on nursing human resource allocation in nursing homes in China was systematically retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP and WanFang Data, and the retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to June 2022. CiteSpace was used to analyze the amount of articles, authors, institutions, funds and keywords, and draw a knowledge map.Results:A total of 890 articles were included. The number of articles and the support of national level funds were growing. The cooperation network among authors was extensive but not deep enough, and a core group of authors was not formed. A core journal group was formed. The research institute with the largest number of articles was the School of Nursing of Peking University. The article was mainly distributed in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other first tier cities. The high-frequency keywords were "combination of medical care and nursing care" "supply" "demand" "talent training" and " care service for the aged", which could be clustered into 11 tags. The keyword cluster atlas showed that the combination of medical care and nursing care had always been the mainstream research direction in the field of nursing human resource allocation in nursing homes in China. "Qualitative research" "rural care for the aged " "care model for the aged " and "care industry for the aged " would become the emerging development trend in this field.Conclusions:The research on the nursing human resource allocation in nursing homes in China is growing. The research focuses on the combination of medical care and nursing care, talent training, care industry for the aged, and the supply and demand of care service for the aged. In the future, we should take the combination of medical care and nursing care as the leading mode, constantly improve our elderly care service system, build a nursing human resource allocation mode with Chinese characteristics in nursing homes, and promote the healthy aging development of society.
