Objective:To explore the anal function and postoperative complications of 2-stage Turnbull-Cutait pull-through coloanal anastomosis (TCA) for low rectal cancer.Methods:Patients undergoing radical rectal cancer resection from Feb 2023 to Nov 2024 in the First Hospital of Jilin University were divided into the TCA surgery group and the low anterior resection combined with prophylactic stoma (LAR) surgery group.Results:Among the 102 patients, there were 50 cases in the TCA group and 52 cases in the LAR group. In the single-arm analysis of the TCA group, the overall complication rate was 44%. The incidence rates of severe LARS at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery were 97%, 77%, and 64% respectively. There was no significant difference in the complication rate within 30 days after surgery between the two groups,(44% vs. 38%, χ2=0.135, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of severe LARS between the TCA group and the LAR group (77% vs. 69%, χ2=0.202, P>0.05), and there was not significant difference in the incidence rate of severe LARS between the two groups at the 6th month after surgery,(64% vs. 48%, χ2=1.132, P>0.05). Conclusion:In patients who underwent TCA surgery, the LARS symptoms gradually decreased over time. Compared with patients undergoing low anterior resection and stoma reversal, there were no significant differences in complications within 30 days after surgery and LARS symptoms within half a year.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between the occurrence of cardiovascular events in rheumatoid arthritis（RA） and traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） syndrome. MethodsThe cross-sectional study selected 6713 RA patients from 122 centres nationwide， in which general information such as name， gender， age， height， body weight， and course of disease were collected by completing a questionnaire； patients were classified into eight types of syndrome according to the information of their four examinations，i.e. wind-dampness obstruction syndrome， cold-dampness obstruction syndrome， dampness-heat obstruction syndrome， phlegm-stasis obstruction syndrome， stasis-blood obstructing collateral syndrome， qi-blood deficiency syndrome， liver-kidney insufficiency syndrome， and qi-yin deficiency syndrome. According to the occurrence of cardiovascular events， they were divided into the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group， and the condition assessment data and laboratory examination indexes were recorded. The test of difference between groups was used to analyse the possible risk factors for the occurrence of RA cardiovascular events， and binary logistic regression was used to analyse the correlation between TCM syndromes and RA cardiovascular events. ResultsA total of 6713 RA patients were included， including 256 cases in occurrence group and 6457 in non-occurrence group. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of height， gender， insomnia， appetite， white blood cell（WBC）， hemoglobin（HGB）， platelets（PLT）， rheumatoid factor（RF）， anti-cyclic peptide containing citrulline（CCP）， alanine aminotransferase（ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase（AST）， γ-glutamyl transpeptidase（GGT）， urea creatinine（CREA）， and glucose（GLU）（P＞0.05）. The TCM syndromes between groups showed significant statistic differences（P＜0.05）. Patients in occurrence group had longer disease duration， heavier body weight， and older age； more severe conditions such as disease activity（DAS-28）， number of painful joints（TJC）， number of swollen joints（SJC）， health questionnaire scores（HAQ）， visual analog scores（VAS）， restlessness， and fatigue； higher blood sedimentation rate（ESR）， low-density lipoprotein（LDL-C）， triglyceride（TG）， total cholesterol（TC）， D-Dimer， and lower high-density lipoprotein（HDL-C）（P＜0.05）. The distribution of syndrome types showed that dampness-heat obstruction syndrome accounted for the largest proportion of patients in both groups and was higher in RA cardiovascular events. Logistic regression analysis showed that the occurrence of RA cardiovascular events was strongly associated with dampness-heat obstruction syndrome［OR=5.937， 95%CI （4.434， 7.949）， P＜0.001］. ConclusionThe occurrence of RA cardiovascular events were associated with TCM syndromes， and the probability of cardiovascular events in the RA patients with dampness-heat obstruction syndrome was 5.937 times higher than patients with other TCM syndromes.

Systemic lupus erythematosus （SLE） may lead to secondary gynecological and obstetric disorders such as decreased ovarian reserve function， menstrual abnormalities， and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Based on "bi （痹） of both body and viscera" theory， this paper proposed that the core mechanism of SLE secondary gynecological and obstetric diseases lies in the mutual transformation between "body bi" and "viscera bi"， which together affect the uterus. Physiologically， uterus forms an internal-external network with the body and viscera through the meridians and blood vessels. Pathologically， when the healthy qi is deficient， nourishment of the body and viscera is impaired； when toxins and stasis accumulate， pathogenic factors disturb the uterus through the chong （冲） and ren （任） meri-dians. The resulting obstruction in the uterus can， in turn， manifest externally and aggravate damage to the body and viscera. Therefore， the pathogenesis of SLE secondary gynecological and obstetric diseases follows a dynamic trajectory of "body bi first， body bi affecting viscera， and then bi of both body and viscera". In treatment， the principle of harmonizing and balancing the healthy qi is emphasized. The main approach is to regulate the viscera， stabilize the body， and nourish the uterus， with the coordination of nourishing the viscera through the body， thereby achieving simultaneous treatment of both body and viscera. This highlights the guiding significance of the "bi of both body and viscera" theory in preventing and treating SLE secondary gynecological and obstetric diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the syndrome evolution patterns， characteristics of the used herbal medicinals， and efficacy variations across different stages of rheumatoid arthritis （RA） progression. MethodsBased on the China Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry of Patients with Chinese Medicine （CERTAIN）， 2,506 RA patients were retrospectively enrolled and categorized into ＜6 months group （166 cases）， 6 months to ＜5 years group （1063 cases）， 5 to ＜20 years group （1067 cases）， and ≥20 years group （210 cases）. Syndromes were differentiated before and after traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） treatment， including damp-heat obstruction， wind-damp obstruction， cold-damp obstruction， blood stasis obstructed in the collaterals， phlegm-stasis obstruction， liver-kidney insufficiency， qi and blood deficiency， and qi-yin deficiency. The syndrome evolution rate was calculated for high-frequency syndromes before and after treatment. Analysis was conducted on top 20 frequently used Chinese herbs at the first diagnosis. Clinical efficacy of the 28-joint disease activity score based on erythrocyte sedimentation rate （DAS28-ESR） and 28-joint disease activity score based on C-reactive protein （DAS28-CRP） before and after treatment were assessed. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors affecting the efficacy of TCM treatment. ResultsPatients with course of disease shorter than 6 months predominantly presented with cold-dampness obstruction syndrome （49/166， 29.5%）， wind-dampness obstruction syndrome （46/166， 27.7%）， and dampness-heat obstruction syndrome （43/166， 25.9%）. For patients with course of disease logner than 6 months and shorter than 5 years and those within 5 to 20 years， the dominant syndrome was dampness-heat obstruction syndrome （324/1063， 30.5% and 318/1067， 29.8%， respectively）. In patients with disease duration ≥20 years， liver-kidney insufficiency syndrome and dampness-heat obstruction syndrome both predominated， each accounting for 25.24% （53/210）. The syndromes with more than 100 cases before treatment and a syndrome evolution rate greater than 10% after treatment were dampness-heat obstruction （201/738， 27.2%）， liver-kidney insufficiency （119/367， 32.4%）， and phlegm-stasis obstruction syndromes （73/172， 42.4%）. These were classified as high-frequency syndromes. After treatment， damp-heat obstruction syndrome and liver-kidney insufficiency syndrome primarily evolved into wind-damp obstruction syndrome， while phlegm-stasis obstruction syndrome evolved into damp-heat obstruction and cold-damp obstruction syndrome. The top two commonly used Chinese herbs across all groups were Gancao （Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae） and Baishao （Radix Paeoniae Alba）. In the ＜6 months group and the 6 months to ＜5 years group， high-frequency herbs also included Fangfeng （Radix Saposhnikoviae）， Duhuo （Radix Angelicae Pubescentis）， Chuanxiong （Rhizoma Chuanxiong）， and Qianghuo （Radix et Rhizoma Notopterygii）. In the 5 to ＜20 years group and the ≥20 years group， the usage of Huangqi （Radix Astragali）， Fuling （Poria）， Niuxi （Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae）， and Danggui （Radix Angelicae Sinensis） increased， while the proportion of Fangfeng and Duhuo decreased. After treatment， the DAS28-ESR and DAS28-CRP scores in all groups significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. There were statistically significant differences in clinical efficacy based on DAS28-ESR and DAS28-CRP across all groups （P＜0.01）. Multivariate logistic regression revealed significantly reduced treatment efficacy in the 6 months-5 years group （OR=0.4）， 5~20 years group （OR=0.5）， and ≥20 years group （OR=0.4） compared to the ＜6 months group. ConclusionRA syndromes follow a progression pattern from excess to deficiency， with corresponding transition in herbal usage from pathogen-eliminating to healthy qi-reinforcing approaches. TCM intervention can significantly reduce disease activity of RA， with superior efficacy in patients with disease duration shorter than 6 months.

Champagne bottle neck sign (CBNS) is an important morphological feature of extracranial artery damage in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD), and more than half of them have this sign. Carotid ultrasound is the most convenient imaging examination method for diagnosing CBNS. CBNS can have a serious impact on cerebral hemodynamics and is closely associated with the staging of MMD, stroke risk, stroke characteristics, MMD-related headaches, and the risk of postoperative complications. This article comprehensively reviews the pathology and pathogenesis, imaging examination, correlation with clinical symptoms, and intervention of CBNS in patients with MMD, aiming to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and research of MMD combined with CBNS.

Trifluridine-tipiracil(TAS-102),as a novel fluorouracil-based chemotherapeutic agent,effectively overcomes fluorouracil resistance in colorectal cancer(CRC)through its unique pharmacological mechanisms,providing a critical treatment option for advanced CRC patients.Probiotics have shown unique value in CRC prevention and adjuvant therapy by regulating intestinal flora homeostasis and modulating host immune response.It is worth noting that the combination of chemotherapeutic drugs and probiotics not only enhances the anti-tumor activity through synergistic effects,but also reduces the adverse effects caused by chemotherapeutic drugs.Based on this,this paper systematically reviews the pharmacological properties of TAS-102 and describes its synergistic effects in combination with other antitumor drugs.It also summarizes the synergistic effect of fluorouracil drugs combined with probiotics to enhance the effectiveness and reduce the toxicity,and discusses the potential value of the combination of TAS-102 and probiotics,which provides a new research direction for optimizing the precision treatment of CRC and a scientific basis for improving the quality of life of patients.

A 50-year-old male patient diagnosed with extensive stage small cell lung cancer was treated with pamiparib in combination with temozolomide.Five days later,the patient developed fever with fatigue.After 10 days,the patient stopped taking the drug due to worsening symptoms and was diagnosed with chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression(grade 4).The clinicist evaluated the patient's condition and assessed the association of adverse reactions using the Naranjo's evaluation scale,and concluded that myelosuppression may be induced by the combination of pamiparib and temozolomide.After symptomatic treatment,the patient's myelosuppression recovered completely.This article discusses the correlation between myelosuppression and the combination of the two drugs,provides treatment measures for this situation,briefly describes the risk factors of myelosuppression,treatment and prevention,and guides medical personnel to adjust the treatment plan in time according to different individuals in the process of using similar programs,and strengthens the monitoring and education of adverse drug reactions,so as to provide references for safe drug use.

Moyamoya disease is a chronic cerebrovascular disease characterized by stenosis or occlusion at the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery, accompanied by the formation of an abnormal vascular network. If these cerebral angiography findings are only seen in one hemisphere of the brain, it is unilateral moyamoya disease (U-MMD). Numerous studies have shown that U-MMD is not uncommon. The latest version of diagnostic criteria has clearly diagnosed U-MMD as Moyamoya disease, rather than being a "possible" moyamoya disease. The pathogenesis of this disease involves genetic, immune, and environmental factors, but the exact cause is currently unclear. Compared with the bilateral moyamoya disease, the U-MMD has different clinical features and imaging manifestations, and has better surgical outcome, and many risk factors promote its progression to the contralateral side. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, treatment, and surgical outcome of U-MMD, and looks forward to the future research directions.
