Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment in clinical. Currently, there are no effective treatments for AD. In recent years, a variety of therapeutic approaches from different perspectives have been explored to treat AD. Although the drug therapies targeted at the clearance of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) had made a breakthrough in clinical trials, there were associated with adverse events. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of AD. Continuous neuroinflammatory was considered to be the third major pathological feature of AD, which could promote the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. At the same time, these toxic substances could accelerate the development of neuroinflammation, form a vicious cycle, and exacerbate disease progression. Reducing neuroinflammation could break the feedback loop pattern between neuroinflammation, Aβ plaque deposition and Tau tangles, which might be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating AD. Traditional Chinese herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum and Curcuma were utilized in the treatment of AD due to their ability to mitigate neuroinflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin had been shown to reduce the level of inflammasomes in the body, and taking these drugs was associated with a low incidence of AD. Biosynthetic nanomaterials loaded with oxytocin were demonstrated to have the capability to anti-inflammatory and penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, and they played an anti-inflammatory role via sustained-releasing oxytocin in the brain. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells could reduce neuroinflammation and inhibit the activation of microglia. The secretion of mesenchymal stem cells could not only improve neuroinflammation, but also exert a multi-target comprehensive therapeutic effect, making it potentially more suitable for the treatment of AD. Enhancing the level of TREM2 in microglial cells using gene editing technologies, or application of TREM2 antibodies such as Ab-T1, hT2AB could improve microglial cell function and reduce the level of neuroinflammation, which might be a potential treatment for AD. Probiotic therapy, fecal flora transplantation, antibiotic therapy, and dietary intervention could reshape the composition of the gut microbiota and alleviate neuroinflammation through the gut-brain axis. However, the drugs of sodium oligomannose remain controversial. Both exercise intervention and electromagnetic intervention had the potential to attenuate neuroinflammation, thereby delaying AD process. This article focuses on the role of drug therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, gut microbiota therapy, exercise intervention, and brain stimulation in improving neuroinflammation in recent years, aiming to provide a novel insight for the treatment of AD by intervening neuroinflammation in the future.

OBJECTIVE:
To identify the key features of facial and tongue images associated with anemia in female populations, establish anemia risk-screening models, and evaluate their performance.
METHODS:
A total of 533 female participants (anemic and healthy) were recruited from Shuguang Hospital. Facial and tongue images were collected using the TFDA-1 tongue and face diagnosis instrument. Color and texture features from various parts of facial and tongue images were extracted using Face Diagnosis Analysis System (FDAS) and Tongue Diagnosis Analysis System version 2.0 (TDAS v2.0). Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was used for feature selection. Ten machine learning models and one deep learning model (ResNet50V2 + Conv1D) were developed and evaluated.
RESULTS:
Anemic women showed lower a-values, higher L- and b-values across all age groups. Texture features analysis showed that women aged 30-39 with anemia had higher angular second moment (ASM)and lower entropy (ENT) values in facial images, while those aged 40-49 had lower contrast (CON), ENT, and MEAN values in tongue images but higher ASM. Anemic women exhibited age-related trends similar to healthy women, with decreasing L-values and increasing a-, b-, and ASM-values. LASSO identified 19 key features from 62. Among classifiers, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model achieved the best performance [area under the curve (AUC): 0.849, accuracy: 0.781]. The ResNet50V2 model achieved comparable results [AUC: 0.846, accuracy: 0.818].
CONCLUSION
Differences in facial and tongue images suggest that color and texture features can serve as potential TCM phenotype and auxiliary diagnostic indicators for female anemia.

Objective:
To investigate the correlations among clinicopathological features, histopathological growth patterns and prognosis of extrapulmonary multiple metastatic(stage ⅣB) pulmonary adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutations.
Methods :
A total of 488 eligible patients with adenocarcinoma of stage ⅣB. Clinicopathological data,EGFRgene mutation subtypes, metastatic sites, histopathological growth patterns and survival information were collected. The chi-square test(χ2test) and Fisher's exact probability method were used to detect the correlation between the metastasis status and various clinical characteristics; the Kaplan-Meier method was used to conduct survival analysis on the median Progression-Free Survival(PFS) under different clinical characteristics. Cox univariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the impact of various clinical characteristics on prognosis.
Results :
The metastatic patterns of stage ⅣB pulmonary adenocarcinoma withEGFRmutations was correlated with histopathological growth patterns(P<0.05). In the group with multiple metastases in a single organ, the proportion of micropapillary type in the group with multiple metastases in a single organ was higher than that in the group with multiple-organ metastases(51.1%vs41.1%), while the proportion of solid type in the group with multiple-organ metastases was higher than that in the group with multiple metastases in a single organ(23.8%vs14.2%). Multiple brain or multiple bone metastases were correlated with histopathological growth patterns and tumor differentiation degree. Compared with the multiple bone metastases group, the proportion of acinar type decreases in the multiple brain metastasis group, while the proportion of micropapillary type increased. Moreover, the proportion of poorly differentiated tumors increased significantly(P<0.05). Compared with multiple bone metastases, the proportion of poorly differentiated tumors significantly increases in the group with multiple brain metastases. The median progression-free survival(PFS) of patients with a predominant solid growth pattern was shorter than that of patients with other growth patterns(12.7 monthsvs17.8 months,P<0.05). The PFS of patients in the poorly differentiated group was worse than that in the moderately differentiated group(15.6 monthsvs17.8 months,P<0.05). There were significant differences in PFS among patients with common sensitive mutations and rare mutationsEGFR(17.3 monthsvs10.2 months,P<0.01). Cox proportional hazards regression model suggested that solid growth pattern, poor differentiation and rare single gene mutation were adverse prognostic factors.
Conclusion
In stage ⅣB pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients withEGFRmutations, both the metastatic patterns and metastatic sites are significantly correlated with the histopathological growth patterns of tumors. Moreover, theEGFRmutation subtypes as well as the histopathological growth patterns and differentiation degree of tumors significantly affect the prognosis of patients.
