Metabolic reprogramming， as one of the core hallmarks of malignant tumors， plays a key role in the occurrence， development and treatment of breast cancer （BC）. Abnormal changes in glucose metabolism， amino acid metabolism， lipid metabolism， as well as the tricarboxylic acid （TCA） cycle and oxidative phosphorylation （OXPHOS） pathways significantly influence the pathogenesis and progression of BC. Studies have shown that various active components of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） （such as berberine， matrine， quercetin， curcumin， etc.） and their compound formulations （e.g. Xihuang pill， Danzhi xiaoyao powder， Yanghe decoction， etc.） can inhibit the proliferation and migration of BC cells and induce apoptosis by regulating key metabolic pathways such as glycolysis， lipid synthesis， and amino acid metabolism. TCM demonstrates multi-target and holistic regulatory advantages in intervening in BC metabolic reprogramming， showing significant potential in modulating key molecules like hypoxia inducible factor-1α， hexokinase-2， pyruvate kinase M2， lactate dehydrogenase A， glucose transporter-1， fatty acid synthase， and signaling pathways such as AKT/mTOR. However， current researches still focus predominantly on glucose metabolism， with insufficient mechanistic studies on lipid metabolism， amino acid metabolism， the TCA cycle， and OXPHOS. The precise targets， molecular mechanisms， and clinical translation value of these interventions require further validation and clarification through more high-quality experimental studies and clinical trials.

This report presents a case of a 52-year-old male patient diagnosed with light-chain(AL)cardiac amyloidosis complicated by acute heart failure(NYHA IV,HFrEF,LVEF 30%).Upon hospitalization,the patient was treated with tolvaptan(15 mg·d-1),spironolactone,empagliflozin,metoprolol succinate and other medications.Within 24 hours of tolvaptan initiation,the patient's alanine aminotransferase(ALT)rising sharply to 1,573 U·L-1 and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)peaking at 3,223 U·L-1.Additional abnormalities included elevated alkaline phosphatase(ALP),total bilirubin(TBil),direct bilirubin(DBil),and prolonged prothrombin time(PT),suggesting acute severe liver injury.Tolvaptan-induced drug-induced liver injury(DILI)was highly suspected.The physician promptly discontinued tolvaptan on day 3 of hepatic deterioration and initiated aggressive hepatoprotective therapy,including intravenous polyenylphosphatidylcholine and reduced glutathione.After about 2 weeks,the transaminases were essentially normalized.The RUCAM system categorized the causal relationship between tolvaptan and the observed DILI as"probable".This case underscores the potential for tolvaptan to provoke acute severe hepatotoxicity,emphasizing the need for heightened clinical vigilance particularly in high-risk populations with multisystem involvement,such as AL amyloidosis.Strict monitoring of liver function tests,especially during the early treatment phase,is strongly advised to mitigate this serious adverse effect.

Objective:To investigate the value of a multi-parameter MRI nomogram model in evaluating the recurrence risk of hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer.Methods:This study was a retrospective cross-sectional study. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinicopathological data (age, menopausal status, axillary lymph node metastasis, etc.) and imaging data of 220 patients with HR-positive breast cancer who underwent breast MRI examination and were pathologically confirmed at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2018 to December 2023. All patients underwent preoperative MRI examinations. Their MRI features were analyzed, and the maximum diameter of the lesion and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value were measured. Finally, the clinical treatment score (CTS5 score) after 5 years was calculated, and all patients were divided into a low recurrence risk (CTS5 score 3.13 points) and a medium to high recurrence risk (CTS5 score≥3.13 points) group. The patients were followed up through the electronic medical record system or by phone until December 31, 2024 to determine recurrence status. The patients were divided into the recurrence group and the non-recurrence group. The differences in clinicopathological data, MRI features and CTS5 scores between the recurrence group and the non-recurrence group were compared using independent sample t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests or χ2 tests. Indicators with P0.05 in the univariate analysis were included in the multivariate logistic regression to screen the independent risk factors for predicting the recurrence of HR receptor-positive breast cancer, and a nomogram was constructed to establish the nomogram model. The receiver operating characteristic curves and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the efficacy of the nomogram model in predicting the postoperative recurrence risk of patients with HR-positive breast cancer. The variance inflation factor (VIF) was used to evaluate the multicollinearity among independent variables. Calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess the fit and net clinical benefit of the nomogram model. Results:Among 220 patients with HR-positive breast cancer, 196 cases were in the non-recurrence group and 24 cases were in the recurrence group. There were statistically significant differences in the maximum diameter of the lesion, axillary lymph node metastasis, ADC value, CTS5 grouping, and CTS5 score between the recurrence group and the non-recurrence group ( P0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the lesion ( OR=1.110, 95% CI 1.169-1.503, P0.001), ADC value ( OR=0.993, 95% CI 0.993?0.989, P0.001), and axillary lymph node metastasis ( OR=8.842; 95% CI 2.120?36.884, P=0.003) were independent factors influencing postoperative recurrence in patients with HR-positive breast cancer, and a nomogram model was constructed based on this. VIF analysis showed that no significant multicollinearity was detected among the variables (VIF5). The AUC value of the nomogram model for predicting postoperative recurrence in patients with HR-positive breast cancer was 0.868 (95% CI 0.794-0.942), the sensitivity was 0.875, and the specificity was 0.781. The calibration curve showed that the prediction curve of this model for predicting postoperative recurrence in HR-positive breast cancer patients was basically consistent with the ideal curve trend. DCA showed that this model had a relatively high clinical benefit within the threshold probability range of 0.01% to 90.00%. Conclusion:The nomogram constructed based on multi-parameter MRI features can predict the postoperative recurrence risk of HR-positive breast cancer patients, with good consistency and predictive ability.

Objective:To investigate clinical characteristics and genetic variations in a case of self-improving collodion ichthyosis in the adult stage.Methods:An adult patient with clinically suspected self-improving collodion ichthyosis was collected from the Department of Dermatology, Henan Provincial People′s Hospital in April 2023. Clinical data were collected from the patient and her parents. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from them, and whole blood DNA was extracted. Whole-exome sequencing was performed to screen genetic variation sites, which were then verified by Sanger sequencing. The deleteriousness of the identified variants was assessed using pathogenicity analysis software.Results:The 54-year-old female patient presented with facial and neck flushing, mild dry skin on the trunk and limbs, sheepskin-like skin of the dorsal hand, and short fingers. Genetic testing identified two in-frame deletion mutations c.406_408del (p.E136del) and c.769_801del (p.H257_Q267del) in the non-repetitive region of the ALOX12B gene in the patient, which were inherited from her father and mother respectively. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that both genetic variations were deleterious pathogenic mutations.Conclusions:Two in-frame deletion mutations c.406_408del (p.E136del) and c.769_801del (p.H257_Q267del) were identified in the non-repetitive region of the ALOX12B gene in the patient with self-improving collodion ichthyosis, which may contribute to the clinical phenotype of the patient. The mutation c.769_801del had not been reported in literature.

Objective:To analyze sentinel symptoms in gastric cancer chemotherapy patients based on symptom cluster theory and provide a basis for effective symptom assessment and management.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select gastric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2022 to May 2023. Patients were surveyed using a basic demographic questionnaire and the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI). The Apriori algorithm was applied to identify sentinel symptoms within symptom clusters during chemotherapy.Results:A total of 195 questionnaires were distributed, and 187 valid responses were collected, yielding a response rate of 95.90% (187/195). A total of four symptom clusters were identified: physical symptom cluster (fatigue-pain-restless sleep-drowsiness-weight loss), gastrointestinal symptom cluster (nausea-appetite loss-dry mouth-vomiting), emotional symptom cluster (sadness-distress), and gastric cancer-specific symptom cluster (feeling full-changed appetite-diarrhea-constipation). Fatigue, nausea, sadness, and feeling full were identified as sentinel symptoms for the physical, gastrointestinal, emotional, and gastric cancer-specific symptom clusters, respectively.Conclusions:Gastric cancer chemotherapy patients experience various symptom clusters, with fatigue, nausea, sadness, and feeling full being potential sentinel symptoms within their respective clusters.

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rates globally. Current treatment methods for lung cancer primarily include surgery， chemotherapy， targeted therapy， and immunotherapy. However， the main limitations of these treatments are their side effects， the drug resistance， and the economic burden they impose. As a critical cancer pathway， the Janus kinase （JAK）/signal transducer and activator of transcription （STAT） signaling pathway regulates tumor occurrence and development through multiple mechanisms by influencing various downstream targets. Consequently， the JAK/STAT signaling pathway offers a promising avenue for lung cancer treatment research. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the JAK/STAT signaling pathway plays a key role in the proliferation and growth of lung cancer cells， angiogenesis， epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT）， metabolic alterations， remodeling of the immune microenvironment， and the development of treatment resistance. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has garnered increasing attention due to its minimal side effects， low economic burden， and its potential to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity when used in conjunction with Western medicine. In addition to traditional Chinese medicine compounds， a growing number of Chinese medicine monomers have come into the spotlight because of their more targeted effects. Numerous studies investigating the regulation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway by TCM in the treatment of lung cancer have demonstrated that TCM can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells， tumor angiogenesis， and EMT， improve the inflammatory and immunosuppressive microenvironments， and enhance treatment sensitivity by intervening in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway， thereby impeding the progression of lung cancer. In recent years， the research on the regulation of this pathway by TCM in the treatment of lung cancer has been updated rapidly. However， the summary of these studies has not been updated in time. This review summarizes and reflects on the recent research findings regarding the regulation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway by TCM to intervene in lung cancer from three aspects， introducing the JAK/STAT pathway， elaborating the mechanism of this pathway in lung cancer， and exploring the intervention of TCM in the treatment of lung cancer through this pathway， to provide more reference for the treatment of lung cancer in the future.
