Antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs)represent a breakthrough in precision therapy for breast cancer,offering a unique targeted drug delivery mechanism that enhances tumor selectivity while reducing the nonspecific toxicity associated with conventional chemotherapy.In recent years,the clinical applications of ADCs in breast cancer have expanded significantly,particularly in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-positive and HER2-low breast cancer,reshaping the therapeutic landscape.Trastuzumab emtanserin(T-DM1)was the first ADC drug to replace lapatinib plus capecitabine as a second-line treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer,while trastuzumab deruxtecan(T-DXd)demonstrated remarkable efficacy in HER2-low breast cancer in the DESTINY-Breast04 trial,becoming the first approved ADC for this patient subgroup.Furthermore,trophoblast cell surface antigen 2(Trop-2)-targeting ADCs,such as sacituzumab govitecan(SG),have shown promising clinical benefits in patients with triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)and hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.Advances in next-generation ADC technologies,including improvements in linker stability,drug-to-antibody ratio(DAR)optimization,and enhanced bystander effects,have further improved the therapeutic efficacy and safety profile of these agents,reinforcing their role in the precision treatment of breast cancer.Although ADCs have demonstrated substantial clinical benefits,they are associated with target-and payload-related toxicities.However,with ongoing advancements in management strategies,their safety profile has been significantly improved.HER2-targeting ADCs present specific adverse events,including interstitial lung disease(ILD)associated with T-DXd,thrombocytopenia,and liver function abnormalities observed with T-DM1,while Trop-2-targeting ADCs such as SG are linked to hematologic toxicity and gastrointestinal side effects.Notably,structural optimizations in next-generation ADCs have led to significant improvements in their safety profile.Early monitoring,individualized dose modifications,and supportive care measures have been shown to effectively reduce the incidence of severe adverse events.Clinical studies indicate that toxicity management strategies for ADCs have matured,with most adverse effects being effectively controlled through optimized treatment regimens and adjunctive supportive care.Thus,in clinical practice,it is essential to consider patient-specific factors,prior treatment history,and comorbidities to devise an optimal ADC treatment strategy that maximizes both efficacy and safety.As ADC technology continues to evolve,breast cancer treatment is expected to become increasingly precise.The development of novel HER2-Trop-2 bispecific ADCs offers new therapeutic options for patients with HER2-low and HER2-negative breast cancer.Additionally,studies investigating the combination of T-DXd with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs),CDK4/6 inhibitors,and poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(PARP)inhibitors have demonstrated synergistic antitumor effects,further expanding the prospects for precision medicine in breast cancer.This review systematically summarized the latest advancements in ADCs for breast cancer,with a focus on the clinical applications,safety management strategies,and future development of HER2-and Trop-2-targeting ADCs,aiming to provide valuable insights for the future of precision breast cancer treatment.

Gallstone is a common and frequent disease and frequent incidence, secondary infection and cancer seriously affect the health of patients. Academic organizations in different regions have issued multiple guidelines and consensus to promote the normative diagnosis and treatment of gallstones. However, in clinical practice, most symptomatic gallstones are treated, while the formation and prevention process of gallstones are ignored, making the concept of treating without a disease has not been strengthened.This article reviews the risk factors and mechanisms of gallstone formation, and points out the importance of effective prevention during stone formation. In the stage of gallstone formation, the high risk factors of stone formation can be analyzed through two aspects of injury factors and protective factors, and the high risk groups of stone formation can be screened out. According to the pathophysiological progression of gallstones, personalized prevention and follow-up strategies can be developed for the stone formation stage of gallstones.

Objective:To understand the influence and lag effect of meteorological factors on the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Shijiazhuang.Methods:The daily incidence data of HFMD in Shijiazhuang during 2017-2019 were collected from Chinese Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. The hourly meteorological data were collected form meteorological stations of Shijiazhuang of Chinese meteorological data network. The distributed lag nonlinear model was built for statistical analysis by software R 3.6.2.Results:When the daily average temperature was 15-26 ℃, the risk of incidence of HFMD increased at lag 3-6 days. However, the risk was highest when the temperature was 25 ℃ at lag 3 days ( RR=1.03,95% CI:1.00-1.06). When the daily average relative humidity was more than 80%, the risk of incidence of HFMD increased at lag 5-18 days. However, the risk was highest at lag 9 days ( RR=1.04, 95% CI: 1.02-1.06).When the daily average air pressure ranged from 999 hPa to 1 007 hPa, the risk of incidence of HFMD increased at lag 5-8 days. However, the risk was highest at lag 6 days ( RR=1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.02).When the daily average precipitation ranged from 15 to 32 mm, the risk of incidence of HFMD increased at lag 3-18 days. However, the risk was highest at lag 6 days ( RR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.02-1.19). Conclusions:Meteorological factors increased the risk of incidence of HFMD such as higher daily average temperature (15-26 ℃), higher daily average humidity (>80%), lower daily average air pressure (999-1 007 hPa) and higher daily average precipitation (15-32 mm) in Shijiazhuang during 2017-2019. They were all correlated with the incidence of HFMD with certain lag days. It is suggested to use these meteorological indicators for the early warning of HFMD.
