This paper summarizes the experience of professor LIU Shangyi in differentiating and treating rectal carcinoma from the perspective of "treating ulcers as tumors". It is believed that the manifestations of rectal cancer, such as anal itching, cauliflower-like or ulcerative tumors, and bloody stools, are similar to external skin itching, skin ulceration, swelling, and skin bleeding. Therefore, the treatment principles of sores and ulcers department can be applied to treat tumors. Following the diagnostic and treatment approach of dermatology regarding the clinical typical symptoms, for anal itching, the main treatment is to dispel wind and remove dampness, clear heat to relieve itching, using "skin medicinals" such as Difuzi (Fructus Kochiae) and Baixianpi (Cortex Dictamni), as well as wind medicinals such as Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae) and Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae). For constipation, the method of clearing heat and resolving toxins, unblocking the bowels and discharging heat can be used, commonly using Baitouweng (Radix Pulsatillae), Donglingcao (Herba Rabdosiae Rubescentis) and Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei). In terms of mucosal ulcers, it is critical to differentiate between yin and yang; the treatment of yang ulcers should focus on clearing heat and resolving toxins, commonly using modified Xianfang Huoming Beverage (仙方活命饮); for yin ulcers, emphasis should be placed on removing dampness and resolving phlegm, commonly with modified Yiyi Fuzi Baijiang Powder (薏苡附子败酱散). For bloody stool, differentiation is made between deficiency and excess, with the use of Diyu (Radix Sanguisorbae) and Huaihua (Flos Sophorae) for excess syndrome to cool and stop blee-ding, and both herbs dry-fried until charred combined with liver-tonifying medicinals for deficiency syndrome

This paper explores the immune-inflammatory regulatory mechanism of colorectal cancer cachexia and corresponding traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) intervention strategies based on the TCM theory of reinforcing healthy qi and dispelling pathogenen. It is proposed that depletion of healthy qi is the root cause of colorectal cancer cachexia, while cancer toxins exuberance is the symptomatic manifestation of the disease, and failure of the spleen and stomach is the core pathogenesis. In terms of treatment, a TCM treatment system is constructed based on the principles of reinforcing healthy qi to consolidate the foundation and regulate immunity, and dispelling pathogen to remove toxins and alleviate inflammation. The system clarifies the healty qi-reinforcing method as fortifying spleen and boosting qi to enhance immune function, and nourishing blood and enriching yin to consolidate yin essence and healthy qi. It also emphasizes the pathogen-dispelling method as clearing heat and removing toxins to regulate the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, and promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis to improve the immune microenvironment and microcirculation. This therapeutic approach may provide valuable insights for TCM interventions in colo-rectal cancer cachexia.

After 50 years of clinical development, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become the preferred method for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cholangio-pancreatic duct diseases; however, the major postoperative complications of ERCP, such as pancreatitis, hemorrhage, and perforation, are still a difficult issue faced by clinicians, and postoperative perforation is associated with an extremely high risk of death. Therefore, it is very important to explore the risk factors for perforation after ERCP, make a definite diagnosis of perforation in a timely manner, and formulate precise prevention and treatment measures. By reviewing a large number of articles, this article summarizes the influencing factors for perforation after ERCP and related diagnosis and treatment measures.

Objective To elucidate the mechanism through which Gypenoside L inhibits the growth of colon cancer by modulating carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B (CPT1B),a pivotal enzyme in the fatty acid metabolism pathway. Methods Through in vitro experiments,various concentrations of Gypenoside LI LI were applied to inter-vene in colon cancer RKO and SW620 cells. The effects of Gypenoside LI on these cells were comprehensively evalu-ated using the CCK-8 assay,wound healing assay,colony formation assay,and live-dead cell staining,focusing on its impact on cell proliferation,migration,and apoptosis. Additionally,a human colon cancer tissue microarray (TMA) was utilized in conjunction with multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry to analyze the expression of CPT1B in colon cancer and adjacent tissues. SW620 cells were transfected with siRNA,and the mRNA and protein expression levels of CPT1B post-transfection were assessed using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting. Furthermore,an in vivo nude mouse colon cancer model was established to investigate the inhibitory effect of Gypenoside LI LI on colon cancer growth. Results In vitro experiments demonstrated that Gypenoside LI LI effectively inhibited the proliferation and migration of RKO and SW620 cells in a concentration-and time-dependent manner. Additionally,multiple fluorescence immunohistochemistry analyses revealed that the expression level of CPT1B in colon cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent non-tumor tissues. Gypenoside LI LI promoted ROS accumulation by inhibiting CPT1B expression. In vivo experiments further confirmed that Gypenoside LI LI could inhibit tumor formation in nude mice and reduce CPT1B expression. Conclusions This study elucidates the mechanism by which Gypenoside LI inhibits the growth of colon cancer cells. Specifically,it downregulates CPT1B,leading to increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS),disruption of fatty acid oxidation metabolism,and ultimately inducing apoptosis in colon cancer cells. These findings offer valuable insights into colon cancer treatment,suggesting new therapeutic strategies and potential drug targets.

Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is one of the most common and deadly malignant tumors worldwide,with surgical resection being the primary treatment for early-stage NSCLC.Tumor spread through air spaces(STAS)is a novel pattern of tumor dissemination into the air spaces in the lung.Its occurrence after sublobar resection is closely associated with recurrence and distant metastasis,making its con-sideration a vital factor in surgical strategy selection and prognostic evaluation.Patients with STAS-positive status exhibit significantly higher postoperative recurrence rates than do STAS-negative patients,with molecular mechanisms involving tumor microenvironment remodeling,specific genetic mutations,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT).Imaging techniques including computed tomography(CT)and positron emission tomography/CT have shown potential for preoperative STAS prediction,although their accuracy and practicality require improvement.This paper reviews the definition,pathological characteristics,and related mechanisms of STAS,with a focus on surgical ap-proach selection for STAS-positive patients and its role in cancer recurrence after sublobar resection of early-stage NSCLC.Future research directions include optimization of preoperative diagnostic methods for STAS,exploration of molecular targeted therapies,and development of imaging-based precision prediction models.

There is a certain correlation and interaction between circulating tumor cells and recurrence-metastasis of colorectal cancer. The circulating tumor cells hidden in the human body can lead to the recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer, and the recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer can in turn cause a sharp increase in the number of circulating tumor cells, which is consistent with the characteristics of latent pathogens in traditional Chinese medicine leading to diseases. Starting from the theory of latent pathogens, this article summarized the etiology and disease mechanism of recurrence-metastasis of colorectal cancer as harmed healthy qi, latent pathogenic qi, prolonged latent pathogens, and triggering healthy qi deficiency. This article also proposes four major treatment methods as reinforcing healthy qi, assisting yang, opening the exterior, and expelling pathogen, in order to provide ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer.
