Despite breakthroughs in immunotherapy for solid tumors, significant variations in treatment efficacy persist. Up to 80% of cancer patients suffer from malnutrition, which leads to: lymphoid atrophy and reduced T-cell reserves; deficiency of substrates required for T-cell activation and expansion; concurrent inflammation hindering T-cell infiltration into tumors; and cachexia accelerating PD-1 antibody clearance. Clinical studies confirm that severe malnutrition significantly impairs immune responses and increases the risk of treatment toxicity. Therefore, implementing standardized nutritional therapy is crucial for optimizing the reserve, activation, expansion, and infiltration capacity of immune cells, thereby providing a sound immune system foundation for immunotherapy. Immunonutrition therapy, by enhancing immunonutrients such as arginine, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and nucleotides, reduces the secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators and promotes T-cell activation and proliferation. This enhances anti-tumor immune responses, prolongs survival, and advances cancer treatment towards multimodal combination and precision approaches.

Fibrillin-1(FBN1)is a large-sized, cysteine-rich, calcium-binding extracellular matrix glycoprotein encoded by the FBN1 gene. As a structural component of microfibrils, this protein is widely distributed in the connective tissues of various ocular structures, including the zonules of Zinn, trabecular meshwork, cornea, retina, and its microvessels, providing mechanical support. Studies have shown that mutations in the FBN1 gene, resulting in decreased protein expression, significantly disrupt microfibril assembly and TGF-β-mediated signaling pathways. These pathogenic mechanisms are strongly linked to the development of key ocular disorders, such as lens dislocation, glaucoma, keratoconus, and retinal vascular diseases. This review summarizes and discusses the clinical manifestations and molecular mechanisms of FBN1-related ophthalmic conditions, with the aim of elucidating their pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies while laying molecular foundations for the development of novel targeted therapies.

Objective To summarize the clinical efficacy of modified Morrow surgery in the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy treated with modified Morrow surgery at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from 2020 to 2023. Results A total of 318 patients were enrolled, including 156 males and 162 females, with an average age of (55.6±13.1) years. Preoperative echocardiography showed a mean interventricular septal thickness of (18.1±3.8) mm, peak left ventricular outflow tract pressure difference of (86.4±24.9) mm Hg. The surgery time was (162.3±51.0) min, extracorporeal circulation time was (80.9±31.0) min, and aortic occlusion time was (44.8±20.8) min. After the surgery, transesophageal echocardiography showed that the interventricular septal thickness was (11.0±1.8) mm and left ventricular outflow tract peak pressure difference was (9.4±5.1) mm Hg. The incidence rate of postoperative complete left bundle branch block was 45.3%, Ⅲ° atrioventricular block was 3.8%, and postoperative newly developed atrial fibrillation was 3.1%. The postoperative hospital stay was (6.6±4.9) days, and one perioperative death occurred, with a mortality rate of 0.3%. The follow-up time was (10.3±9.4) months, during which the transthoracic echocardiography revealed a ventricular septal thickness of (12.9±2.9) mm and a peak left ventricular outflow tract pressure difference of (13.9±10.0) mm Hg. Conclusion The modified Morrow procedure for the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is safe and effective, with good results in the short and medium term.

Thyroid hormone(TH)is an iodinated derivative of the amino acid tyrosine secreted by the thyroid gland.It promotes glycolipid metabolism and is involved in various physiological and pathological processes by regulating cellular behaviors, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Recent studies have found that aberrant expression of TH in the orbit, retina, and sclera, and other ocular tissues can induce abnormal differentiation of orbital soft tissue adipocytes, alteration of retinal oxidative stress, and degradation of posterior scleral extracellular matrix(ECM), which contributes to the pathogenesis of many ophthalmic diseases, including Graves ophthalmopathy(GO), age-related macular degeneration(ARMD), diabetic retinopathy(DR), and myopia. This article reviews the role and mechanism of TH in various ophthalmic diseases, aiming to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of these ocular disorders.

Objective To explore the impact of lung cancer screening on the changes of health risk behaviors in 420 high-risk populations. Methods Among the 420 high-risk subjects who underwent lung cancer screening in the hospital from January 2022 to February 2024 were included and underwent low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening and were followed up for 1 year. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between lung cancer screening and changes in health risk behaviors. Results Compared with the baseline situation, the smoking rate, alcohol drinking rate and long-term exposure to asbestos and other carcinogens were lower during 1-year follow-up, and the regular physical examination rate was increased (P<0.05). In this study, health-risk behaviors of 176 subjects changed during 1-year follow-up, and women, subjects who consulted physicians about physical condition, subjects having positive nodules and subjects having previous history of lung disease accounted for higher proportions (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that women, consulting physicians about their physical condition, having positive nodules and having previous history of lung disease were more likely to change health risk behaviors (P<0.05). Conclusion Lung cancer screening prompts high-risk individuals (smokers, drinkers, those with long-term exposure to asbestos and other carcinogens, and those without regular physical examination) to change their health risk behaviors. Women, those who actively consult physicians about their physical condition, those with positive nodules and those with previous history of lung disease are more likely to change their unhealthy habits through screening than other individuals.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Tongfu Kuanzhong decoction （TFKZ） in the treatment of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome （IBS-C） with spleen deficiency and Qi stagnation and its effects on anorectal manometry and colonic electrical activity parameters. MethodsSixty-four patients with IBS-C of the spleen deficiency and Qi stagnation type were included as research subjects and were randomized into the observation group （thirty-two cases） and control group （thirty-two cases）. The control group was orally administered mosapride citrate tablets， and the observation group was orally administered TFKZ. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores， patient assessment of constipation symptoms （PAC-SYM） score， general anxiety disorder-7 （GAD-7） score， patient health questionnaire-9（PHQ-9）score， anorectal manometry， and colonic electrical activity parameters were observed before and after treatment in the two groups. ResultsThe total points of TCM syndromes were significantly lower in both groups after treatment （P<0.01） and lower in the observation group （P<0.05）. The fecal symptoms， rectal symptoms， abdominal symptoms， and total symptom scores of the patients in both groups were significantly decreased after treatment （P<0.01）， and the rectal symptoms， abdominal symptoms， and total symptom scores of the observation group were lower （P<0.05，P<0.01）. In both groups， the forced anal residual pressure and the initial rectal sensation threshold decreased after treatment （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and forced anal residual pressure in the control group was lower （P<0.01）. After treatment， the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores of patients in both groups decreased significantly （P<0.01）， and the GAD-7 score of the observation group was significantly lower （P<0.01）. After treatment， the average wave amplitude at different time points of each lead increased significantly in both groups， compared with that before treatment （P<0.01）. The average wave amplitude of each lead of the ascending colon， descending colon， sigmoid colon， and rectum in the observation group at 5 min before the meal and 10 min after the meal， as well as that of the ascending colon and rectum at 20 min and 30 min after the meal， was higher than that of the control group （P<0.05）. ConclusionTFKZ is effective in the treatment of IBS-C. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of colonic function by down-regulating the forced anal residual pressure and the initial rectal sensation threshold and up-regulating the amplitude and frequency of intestinal electrical activity in each intestinal segment of the colon.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of depression risk in elderly patients with hypertension and construct and validate a nomogram prediction model.Methods A total of 869 elderly patients with hypertension were selected from national survey database of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS)in 2018.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for depression in elderly patients with hypertension,and a nomogram prediction model was constructed.The accuracy and effectiveness of the model were validated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L)goodness-of-fit test,the area under the curve(AUC)of the receiver oper-ating characteristic(ROC)curve,and the calibration curve.Results The incidence of depression in elderly patients with hypertension was 47.18％.Factors influencing the risk of depression included rural residence(OR=2.191,P＜0.05),impaired basic activities of daily living(BADL)(OR=2.338,P＜0.05),impaired instrumental activitiesofdaily living(IADL)(OR=1.674,P＜0.05),poor life satisfaction(OR=7.348,P＜0.05),fair self-rated health(OR=0.441,P＜0.05),good self-rated health(OR=0.259,P＜0.05),and sleep duration of 6 to 9 hours(OR=0.510,P＜0.05).The AUC of the ROC curve was 0.795,the slope of the calibration curve was close to 1,and the H-L goodness-of-fit test yielded x2=5.074.The validation set showed an AUC of 0.703.Conclusion The prediction model established in this study has high accuracy and discriminative ability.Healthcare professionals can take effective preventive measures based on individual patient factors.

Purpose To investigate the expression and clinical significance of the embryonic lethal abnormal vi-sion-like(ELAVL)family in glioma.Methods Pan-cancer and glioma-specific analyses of mRNA expression profiles of the ELAVL family were analyzed using the TCGA and GTEx databases.The association between ELAVL family ex-pression and survival of glioma patients was evaluated via the gene expression profiling interactive analysis 2(GEPIA2)database.The expression level of ELAVL2 protein in human glioma tissues and non-tumor control brain tissues was ver-ified by immunohistochemistry,and the relationship between its expression and prognosis was analyzed based on the fol-low-up data of patients.Western blot was performed to assess ELAVL2 protein levels in human immortalized astrocytes of UC2 and seven glioma cell lines.Overexpression of ELAVL2 in glioma cells was achieved to evaluate its impact on cell proliferation using in vitro assays.Results Compared to normal tissues,the ELAVL family exhibited distinct ex-pression patterns across various cancers.In glioma,ELAVL1 was significantly upregulated,while ELAVL2,ELAVL3 and ELAVL4 were markedly downregulated.Survival analysis revealed that low ELAVL2 expression was an independent prognostic factor for poor survival in glioma patients(P＜0.05).Immunohistochemistry confirmed that the expression of ELAVL2 decreased with the increase of glioma grade,and its low expression indicated a poor prognosis for patients(P＜0.001).Overexpression of ELAVL2 inhibited glioma cell proliferation in vitro(P＜0.001),suggesting its tumor-suppressive role.Conclusion The ELAVL family members play a critical role in glioma progression.ELAVL2 downregulation serves as a marker for adverse clinical outcomes and represents a potential therapeutic target for glioma therapy.

Objective In this study,we aimed to predict the inhibitory mechanism of Shenlingcao oral liquid(SLC)in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)by network pharmacology and verify it by molecular docking and in vivo experiments.Methods The active ingredients and corresponding targets of SLC and NSCLC were obtained by database and literature search.Targets of SLC common to NSCLC were selected to construct the protein interaction network,and GO and KEGG enrichment analysis and molecular docking were performed.A Lewis lung cancer mouse model was constructed and divided into Model group,SH group,and SL group.The latter two groups were intragastrically administered 8.75 g SLC lyophilized powder/kg and 3.50 g SLC lyophilized powder/kg,respectively.After 14 days of drug intervention,tumor growth,pathological changes in tumor tissue,and apoptosis in tumor tissue were observed in tumor-bearing mice;changes in blood routine indexes and the tumor tissue expression of p-AKT,AKT,p-PI3K,PI3K,and Bcl-2 protein of mice were detected.The result of the KEGG enrichment analysis were verified.Results Network pharmacological analysis showed that there were 77 active ingredients,618 potential targets,1498 potential targets for NSCLC,and 179 drug and disease intersection targets.Target intersection enrichment analysis showed that they were mainly concentrated in the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-protein kinase B(PI3K-AKT)signaling pathway,mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway,and other related pathways.Molecular docking showed that the top 10 core components had good bonding ability with the top 10 core targets.In the animal experiments,compared with the Model group,SH group and SL group had significantly decreased tumor volume and weight(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and significantly decreased white blood cell,neutrophil,and monocyte numbers(P＜0.01,P＜0.001).Red blood cells,platelets,and hemoglobin were significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.001);apoptotic cells were significantly increased in early tumor tissue(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and the protein expression levels of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-AKT/AKT,and Bcl-2/GAPDH were significantly decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The expression levels of PI3K,AKT1,and Bcl-2 genes were significantly decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusions The mechanisms of SLC activity against NSCLC may be related to the activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway and the promotion of apoptosis.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of vascular resection and reconstruction during radical resection in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 151 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent radical resection in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from April 2018 to April 2025. Among them, there were 91 males and 60 females, with an age of (65.4±10.5) years. According to whether radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma was combined with vascular resection, the patients were divided into the vascular resection group ( n=19) and the control group ( n=132). Postoperative complications such as bleeding, biliary fistula, and thrombosis were recorded, along with intraoperative blood loss, R 0 resection rate, perioperative mortality, and recurrence rate at six months postoperatively. Results:The preoperative bilirubin reduction and intraoperative blood loss in the vascular resection group were 6 (31.6) and 200 (200, 200) ml, respectively, while those in the control group were 45 (34.1) and 200 (100, 200) ml, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). The combined liver resection, Billroth operation type Ⅰ-Ⅱ, and operation time in the vascular resection group were 18 (94.7), 1 (5.3), and 420 (377.5, 512.5) min, respectively, while those in the control group were 79 (59.8), 38 (28.8), and 322.5 (260, 410) min, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P<0.05). The R 0 resection, perioperative mortality rate, postoperative bleeding, postoperative biliary fistula, postoperative thrombosis, postoperative pathology (adenocarcinoma), and recurrence rate at 6 months after surgery in the vascular resection group were 16 (84.2), 2 (10.5), 2 (10.5), 3 (15.8), 1 (5.3), 18 (94.7), and 1 (5.9), respectively, while those in the control group were 103 (78.0), 5 (3.8), 5 (3.8), 25 (18.9), 2 (1.5), 121 (91.7), and 6 (4.7), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). The postoperative hospital stay, alanine aminotransferase on the 1st and 3rd day after surgery, and postoperative liver failure in the vascular resection group were 18 (13.5, 21.5) days, 619 (305.4, 1 634.0) U/L, and 1 (5.3), respectively, while those in the control group were 14 (11, 18), 254.5 (139.3, 468.3) U/L, and 3 (2.3), respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Vascular resection and reconstruction during radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma in patients has certain safety and efficacy.
