Objective To explore the relevant factors affecting the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in treating MG,and to develop and validate a nomogram model,in order to personalize the prediction of the probability of benefits for MG patients after traditional Chinese medicine treatment,further guide clinical physicians in targeted medication,and provide guidance for the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of MG.Method Retrospective analysis of MG patients who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2018 to June 2022,13 clinical factors were selected to evaluate the results.To acquire independent factors,univariate and multivariate Logistic analyses were performed.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve,Harrell's concordance index,calibration curve,and decision curve analyses were used to evaluate the predictive ability,accuracy,and clinical practicability of the prediction model.Results A total of 204 cases were included,divided into derivation cohort 139 cases and temporal validation cohort 65 cases.Multivariate Logistic regression showed 4 independent predictors affecting effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating MG,including age at onset,repetitive nerve stimulation positive,oral immunosuppressant and anxiety/depression.AUC values for the model group and validation group were 0.76(95%CI:0.68-0.84)and 0.83(95%CI:0.71-0.95),respectively,and based on calibration curve and decision curve analysis,we concluded that the nomogram showed excellent performance.Conclusion MG patients may experience a decrease in short-term efficacy with age,positive RNS,concomitant emotional abnormalities,or recent history of immunosuppressive therapy.This nomogram effectively predicts the possibility of short-term effective traditional Chinese medicine treatment in MG patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab combined with the SOX regimen for adjuvant treatment of stage Ⅲgastric cancer after D2 radical resection and to provide a reference for individualized clinical treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 245 pa-tients with stage III gastric cancer who underwent D2 radical resection at the 940th Hospital of the Joint Support Force of the People's Liber-ation Army from June 2019 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The 180 patients who received only the SOX regimen were desig-nated the control group,and the 65 patients who received sintilimab combined with the SOX regimen were designated the experimental group.The 3-year disease-free survival(DFS)rate,overall survival(OS)rate,and adverse reactions among the two groups and different sub-groups(HER-2 positive,dMMR,CPS≥5)were compared.Results:The 3-year DFS(81.5%vs.59.4%)and OS(84.6%vs.70.6%)rates in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(both P<0.05).Group analysis showed that in patients with CPS≥5,the 3-year DFS(91.5%vs.67.0%)and OS(95.7%vs.71.6%)rates within the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group(both P<0.05).Intra-group analysis within the experimental group showed that the 3-year DFS rate(91.5%vs.55.6%)and OS rate(95.7%vs.55.6%)of patients with CPS≥5 were significantly better than those of patients with CPS<5(both P<0.05).The overall and grade≥3 incidences of liver and kidney function damage,thyroid dysfunction,colitis,pneumonia,and rash in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05),while the differences in other adverse reactions,including leukopenia were not statistic-ally significant(all P>0.05).Conclusions:Sintilimab combined with the SOX regimen can significantly improve 3-year DFS and OS rates in pa-tients with stage Ⅲ gastric cancer after surgery,especially in the CPS≥5 subgroup,with significant benefits and controllable safety.

Although cancer immunotherapy has made great strides in the clinic, it is still hindered by the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME). The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway which can modulate TIME effectively has emerged as a promising therapeutic recently. However, the delivery of most STING agonists, specifically cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs), is performed intratumorally due to their insufficient pharmacological properties, such as weak permeability across cell membranes and vulnerability to nuclease degradation. To expand the clinical applicability of CDNs, a novel pH-sensitive polycationic polymer-modified lipid nanoparticle (LNP-B) system was developed for intravenous delivery of CDNs. LNP-B significantly extended the circulation of CDNs and enhanced the accumulation of CDNs within the tumor, spleen, and tumor-draining lymph nodes compared with free CDNs thereby triggering the STING pathway of dendritic cells and repolarizing pro-tumor macrophages. These events subsequently gave rise to potent anti-tumor immune reactions and substantial inhibition of tumors in CT26 colon cancer-bearing mouse models. In addition, due to the acid-sensitive property of the polycationic polymer, the delivery system of LNP-B was more biocompatible and safer compared with lipid nanoparticles formulated with an indissociable cationic DOTAP (LNP-D). These findings suggest that LNP-B has great potential in the intravenous delivery of CDNs for tumor immunotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum levels of Ninjurin 1(NINJ1),cystatin C(CysC),and D-dimer(D-D)for unfavorable outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:A total of 118 AMI patients hospitalized in the Chinese PLA Joint Logistic Support Force 901st Hospital between Feb-ruary 2020 and March 2023 were enrolled.According to prognosis within 6 months after treatment,patients were divided into favorable outcome group and unfavorable outcome group.Serum levels of CysC,D-D and NINJ1 were measured upon admission.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors influencing unfavorable outcome in AMI patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to analyze the pre-dictive value of serum NINJ1,CysC and D-D for the prognosis of AMI patients.A nomogram model for predicting unfavorable outcome in AMI patients was constructed and verified.Results:Compared to patients with favorable outcomes,those with unfavorable outcomes had significantly higher proportions of hypertension,diabetes,number of diseased coronary arteries ≥2,and serum levels of NINJ1,CysC and D-D,as well as a significantly lower pro-portion of Killip class Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.01 all).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that number of diseased coronary arteries ≥2(OR=3.817,95％CI 1.140～12.779,P=0.030),Killip class Ⅲ-Ⅳ(OR=5.639,95％CI 1.706～18.637,P=0.005),hypertension(OR=4.188,95％CI 1.392～12.600,P=0.011),diabetes(OR=3.480,95％CI 1.148～10.552,P=0.028),and serum levels of NINJ1(OR=1.055,95％CI 1.009～1.103,P=0.018),CysC(OR=75.232,95％CI 5.537～545.908,P=0.003),and D-D(OR=56.163,95％CI 1.610～958.586,P=0.026)were significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes at 6 months in AMI patients.ROC a-nalysis showed that the AUC of serum NINJ1,CysC and D-D combined predicting unfavorable outcomes was 0.801(95％CI 0.718～0.869),which was significantly higher than those of serum NINJ1(0.675,95％CI 0.582～0.758)and D-D(0.676,95％CI 0.583～0.759)alone(Z=2.344,P=0.019;Z=2.173,P=0.030,),but the difference was not significant comparing to CysC alone(Z=1.856,P=0.064).The C-index of the nomogram model predic-ting unfavorable outcomes was 0.973(95％CI 0.967～0.986),and the predicted values of calibration curve were consistent with the actual values,indicating good prediction accuracy.Conclusion:Elevated serum levels of NINJ1,CysC and D-D in AMI patients were significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes.Combined detection of these indicators may accurately predict unfavorable outcomes compared to single detection,and the constructed no-mogram model exhibits good prediction efficacy.

Menstrual migraine is a specific subtype of migraine unique to women,closely related to the menstrual cycle,characterized by periodic and intractable headaches,often accompanied by nausea,vomiting or photophobia and phonophobia,which seriously affects life and has a high degree of disability.Its pathogenesis is complex,involving multi-dimensional regulation such as estrogen fluctuations,neurovascular responses and genetic and environmental factors,but the specific mechanism has not been fully clarified.In recent years,with the increasing social attention to women's health,the clinical research demand for menstrual migraine has become increasingly urgent.Currently,modern medicine can alleviate symptoms through acute drug intervention(such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,triptans)and preventive treatment(such as beta-blockers,CGRP antagonists),but there are problems such as drug dependence and insufficient individualization.Traditional Chinese medicine,based on the"holistic concept"and"syndrome differentiation and treatment"theory,regulates the balance of qi,blood,yin and yang through therapies such as traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture,showing unique advantages in improving symptoms and preventing recurrence.The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can optimize the therapeutic effect and reduce side effects through synergistic effects,but the full-cycle prevention and treatment strategy still needs further exploration.This article systematically reviews the pathogenesis and research progress of treatment of menstrual migraine in traditional Chinese and Western medicine,emphasizes the interaction between hormone fluctuations and neurovascular responses,and proposes an individualized intervention plan based on the menstrual cycle,providing new ideas for clinical practice and reference directions for future research.

Depression is a highly heterogeneous psychiatric disorder with complex pathogenesis influenced by the interplay of biological,psychological,and social-environmental factors.Based on the 2021 edition of the Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Depressive Disorders,which explicitly identify gender as a significant risk factor for depression onset,this paper systematically reviews the gender-differentiated pathogenesis and therapeutic advances in depression from both traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and Western medical perspectives.In Western medicine,a large number of studies have demonstrated the sex-specific mechanism of estrogen/testosterone fluctuations and monoamine transmitter system regulation.While in TCM,although the constitution theory proposes that there are significant gender differences in congenital constitution and that qi depression and qi deficiency are associated with susceptibility to depression,current evidence primarily relies on cross-sectional surveys and lacks validation through high-quality RCTs.Compared with Western medicine,the direct research on gender-differentiated antidepressant effects in TCM remains relatively underdeveloped.In future study,it may be possible to deepen and improve the research on anti-depression in TCM from the biological markers of particular constitutions in the gender dimension.This paper advocates establishing a bio-psycho-social integrated intervention model,advancing mechanistic exploration through prospective cohort studies and multi-omics technologies,and promoting precision diagnosis and treatment systems based on gender differences,and to form a three-dimensional diagnosis and treatment and research system that covers biomarkers,social role assessment,and TCM constitution identification,in order to provide a new theoretical framework and a practical pathway for the precise medical treatment of depression.

Objective:To explore the short-term oncological efficacy of the total prostatic urethra preservation（TPUP）technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and its impact on postoperative urinary continence rate.Methods:The clinical data of 17 prostate cancer patients admitted to Shaoxing People’s Hospital from July 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The age was（70.5 ± 6.5）years，the body mass index was（23.6 ± 2.5）kg/m 2，and the prostate-specific antigen（PSA）level was（7.845 ± 3.929）ng/ml. The preoperative biopsy pathological Gleason score were 6 in 8 cases，and 7 in 9 cases. All patients underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy，and the TPUP technique was used during the operation. The integrity of the preserved urethra was improved by preserving the prostatic surgical capsule closely attached to the corpus spongiosum of the urethra. During the operation，the urethra was completely preserved in 2 cases，nearly completely preserved in 14 cases，and partially preserved in 1 case. The recovery of urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was recorded. Recovery of urinary continence was defined as pad within 24 hours. PSA was re - examined at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation. Results:All 17 operations in this study were successfully completed. The operation time was（143.6 ± 31.6）minutes，and the intraoperative blood loss was 50.0（20.0，50.0）ml. None of the cases was converted to open surgery，and no Clavien - Dindo grade ≥ 2 complications such as blood transfusion or intestinal injury occurred during the peri-operative period. The PSA levels at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation were 0.054（0.008，0.215）ng/ml and 0.008（0.005，0.037）ng/ml，respectively. The indwelling catheter time after the operation was（13.4 ± 2.1）days. The number of cases with recovered urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was 10，15，and 17，respectively.Conclusions:The TPUP technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy leads to good recovery of postoperative urinary continence，and there is a slowly PSA decrease in the short term.
