The paper introduces Professor ZHAO Hong's clinical experience and the thinking of diagnosis and treatment for gynecological diseases based on spleen-stomach theories of TCM and explore the effects of the dysfunction of spleen and stomach on gynecological diseases. In clinical practice, Professor ZHAO proposes the "theory" for protecting the spleen and stomach, and in consideration of the other organs; focuses on the "principle" for strengthening the spleen, harmonizing the stomach, promoting qi circulation, removing stagnation and mutually-regulating the body, qi and mind; and adopts the "methods" of integrating acupuncture with medication and specially uses the warming and resolving techniques. She attaches importance to "acupoints" on the detection, and the selection of fewer but more effective ones; and delivers the "needling techniques" for releasing the stagnation and obstruction and inducing muscle jumping and sensation transmission. Professor ZHAO Hong integrates acupuncture with medication in views of spleen and stomach theories of TCM for ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, thin endometrium and dysfunctional uterine bleeding, which provides the references for the treatment of gynecological diseases.

Objective:To investigate the related factors of pleasure loss in patients with human immunodefi-ciency virus(HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS).Methods:Totally 237 patients with HIV/AIDS from a certain infectious disease hospital were selected and surveyed with a self-designed general information ques-tionnaire,the Temporal Pleasure Experience Scale(TEPS),Self Acceptance Scale(SAQ),Discrimination Percep-tion Scale(SIS),and Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS).Results:The patient's TEPS score was(73.4±16.1).Stepwise linear regression analysis showed that the PSSS total scores,education level,and personal monthly income were positively correlated with the TEPS total scores(β=0.41,5.17,4.63),and age was negatively corre-lated with the TEPS total scores(β=-0.30).Conclusion:It suggests that more attention should be paid to the lack of pleasure in patients with HIV/AIDS,and the lack of pleasure is related to personal monthly income,educa-tion level,age and perceived social support.

Heart rate recovery,a widely used indicator in clinical evaluation of the autonomic nervous system,refers to the difference between maximum heart rate during exercise and the heart rate after 1 or a few minutes of cessation.It possesses advantages of being noninvasive and repeatable.Currently,heart rate recovery is extensively applied in cardiovascular diseases for evaluating disease severity,prognosis,risk of cardiovascular events,and mortality.This article primarily discusses the application value and current research progress of heart rate recovery in cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of peripheral blood cytokine models on organ functional impairment after chimeric antigen receptor T(CAR-T) cell therapy in children with B-lineage lymphocytic leukemia.Methods:The clinical data of 44 children with acute B-lineage lymphoblastic leukemia who received CAR-T cell therapy at Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from September 2018 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Peripheral blood cytokines, including interleukin(IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon(IFN)-γ and IL-17A, were measured daily for 14 days after receiving CAR-T cell therapy.The trend of peripheral blood cytokine levels was analyzed at the endpoint of organ function recovery or death within 14 days after CAR-T cell treatment.Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to establish a mathematical prediction model to predict the occurrence of organ damage in the children.Results:Of the 44 children, 31 cases were boys and 13 cases were girls, with a median age of 7.96 (5.19, 11.48)years.Cytokine release syndrome(CRS) response occurred in 95.5% (42/44) children, with 88.1% (37/42) had a grade 1-3 CRS response, and 16.7% (7/42) had a severe grade 4-5 CRS response.Using IL-6>3 892.95 pg/mL as cut-off value, the area under the curve(AUC) for predicting acute respiratory failure was 0.818, with a sensitivity of 0.8 and a specificity of 0.735, while combining IFN-γ>414.4 pg/mL, IL-6>3 892.95 pg/mL and IL-2>27.05 pg/mL were the three cut-off values, with an AUC of 0.741, sensitivity of 0.6 and specificity of 0.912 for predicting acute respiratory failure. Using IFN-γ>1 699.5 pg/mL as cut-off value, the AUC for predicting shock was 0.908, with a sensitivity of 0.722 and a specificity of 1.With IL-6>4 607.3 pg/mL as cut-off value, the AUC for predicting liver injury was 0.964, with a sensitivity of 1 and a specificity of 0.906, while combining both IL-6>4 607.3 pg/mL and IFN-γ>1 446.2 pg/mL as cut-off values, the AUC for predicting liver injury was 0.977, with a sensitivity of 1 and a specificity of 0.906.Combining both IL-6>6 972.2 pg/mL and IFN-γ>3 981.5 pg/mL predicted a positive predictive value of 62.5% and a negative predictive value of 94.4% for grade 4-5 CRS response, with an AUC of 0.846, a predictive sensitivity of 0.714 and a specificity of 0.838, and all children had a combination of two or more organ function injuries.Conclusion:The combination of IL-6 and IFN-γ can effectively predict the incidence of liver injury and cytokine release syndrome.The combination of peripheral blood cytokines IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-2 can be used to predict the incidence of acute respiratory failure after the treatment of CAR-T cells in children with acute B-lineage lymphoblastic leukaemia.IFN-γ single index can be used to predict the incidence of shock.The combination of IL-6 and IFN-γ can be used to predict the incidence of liver injury and the severity of CRS.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in a real-world setting.Methods:This was a real-world ambispective cohort study (MOMENT study) (Chinese clinical trial registry number: ChiCTR2200062067). Clinical data were collected from 198 patients who received mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy or combination therapy at 37 hospitals from January 2022 to January 2023, including 166 patients in the retrospective cohort and 32 patients in the prospective cohort; 10 patients in the treatment-na?ve group and 188 patients in the relapsed/refractory group. Clinical characteristics, efficacy and adverse events were summarized, and the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.Results:All 198 patients were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection for a median of 3 cycles (range 1-7 cycles); 28 cases were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy, and 170 cases were treated with the combination regimen. Among 188 relapsed/refractory patients, 45 cases (23.9%) were in complete remission (CR), 82 cases (43.6%) were in partial remission (PR), and 28 cases (14.9%) were in disease stabilization (SD), and 33 cases (17.6%) were in disease progression (PD), with an objective remission rate (ORR) of 67.6% (127/188). Among 10 treatment-na?ve patients, 4 cases (40.0%) were in CR, 5 cases (50.0%) were in PR, and 1 case (10.0%) was in PD, with an ORR of 90.0% (9/10). The median follow-up time was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.4-3.7 months), and the median PFS and OS of patients in relapsed/refractory and treatment-na?ve groups were not reached. In relapsed/refractory patients, the difference in ORR between patients with different number of treatment lines of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection [ORR of the second-line, the third-line and ≥the forth-line treatment was 74.4% (67/90), 73.9% (34/46) and 50.0% (26/52)] was statistically significant ( P = 0.008). Of the 198 PTCL patients, 182 cases (91.9%) experienced at least 1 time of treatment-related adverse events, and the incidence rate of ≥grade 3 adverse events was 66.7% (132/198), which was mainly characterized by hematologic adverse events. The ≥ grade 3 hematologic adverse events mainly included decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, decreased white blood cell count, and anemia; non-hematologic adverse events were mostly grade 1-2, mainly including pigmentation disorders and upper respiratory tract infection. Conclusions:The use of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection-containing regimen in the treatment of PTCL has definite efficacy and is well tolerated, and it is a new therapeutic option for PTCL patients.

The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to March 20, 2022. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and quality evaluation, and extracted and summarized the included literature.Results:A total of 10 articles were included, including 1 clinical decision, 3 guidelines and 6 systematic reviews. A total of 29 pieces of best evidence were summarized from five aspects, including risk factors, risk assessment, intervention measures, education and training and follow-up.Conclusions:This study summarizes the best evidence for the prevention and management of stress urinary incontinence in pregnant and postpartum patients. Clinicians should refer to the best evidence and combine the patient's own condition to conduct standardized management of the disease.

Objective:To explore the development status, research hotspots and trends in this field in the past 20 years through the visual analysis of the related literature on stigma in China, so as to provide reference for the future related research in China.Methods:Literatures related to stigma published from January 1, 2000 to January 28, 2022 were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases. CiteSpace 5.8.R3 software was used for visual analysis.Results:A total of 1 086 papers were included, and the number of published papers on stigma research was on the rise. The author with the largest number of papers was Zhou Ying. At present, a core group of authors had been formed in the research field, and the authors mainly cooperated within the team, with less inter-institutional cooperation. Institutions that published more papers were concentrated in the affiliated hospitals of universities in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beijing.Research hotspots focused on influencing factors, quality of life, social support and coping styles. Research fronts were self-efficacy, nursing and narrative nursing.Conclusions:In the past 20 years, the research on stigma has attracted widespread attention, and related literature has been emerging, but there is little cooperation between authors, and the geographical distribution of publishing institutions is uneven. In order to promote the development of stigma research in China, cross-author, cross-regional, and cross-institutional exchanges and cooperation should be strengthened in the future to improve the quality and level of stigma research in China.

Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a clinical syndrome with impairment of at least one cognitive domain caused by vascular risk factors or cerebrovascular diseases, and its pathogenesis is not completely clear so far. Microglia are innate immune cells in the brain. They participate in many processes such as neuroinflammation, synaptic pruning, myelin regeneration, neurogenesis and connection. They are associated with the occurrence and development of various neurological diseases such as cerebral infarction, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and autism. Recent studies have shown that microglia play an important role in the development of VCI. This article reviews the role of microglia in VCI.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the current situation, screening, clinical characteristics, prevention and treatment of bleeding esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension in Tibet region.Methods:Clinical data of cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension through March 2017 to February 2020 from Tibet region were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Results:511 cases with liver cirrhosis were included in the study, of which 185 cases (36.20%) had compensated cirrhosis and 326 cases (63.80%) had decompensated cirrhosis. Further analysis of the etiological data of liver cirrhosis showed that 306 cases (59.88%) were of chronic hepatitis B, 113 cases (22.11%) of alcoholic liver disease, and 68 cases (13.31%) of chronic hepatitis B combined with alcoholic liver disease. Among patients with compensated liver cirrhosis, 48 cases (25.95%) underwent endoscopic examination of which 33 diagnosed as high-risk variceal bleeding. However, none of these 33 cases had received non-selective β-blocker therapy, and only four patients had received endoscopic variceal banding therapy. Among patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, 83 cases (25.46%) had a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 297 cases (91.10%) had ascites, 23 cases (7.05%) had hepatic encephalopathy, and 3 cases (0.92%) had hepatorenal syndrome. Among the patients with a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 42 cases (50.60%) had received secondary preventive treatment for bleeding esophageal varices, including 39 cases of endoscopic treatment, 1 case of endoscopic combined drug treatment, 3 cases of interventional treatment, and 2 cases of surgical treatment.Conclusion:Chronic hepatitis B and alcoholic liver diseases are the main causes of liver cirrhosis in Tibet region. Moreover, this region lacks screening, prevention and treatment for bleeding esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the screening of high-risk groups to prevent and improve the first-time bleeding, and promote multidisciplinary team to prevent and treat re-bleeding.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and practical value of the integration of humanistic concern into clinical problem-based learning ( PBL ) teaching . Methods A total of 112 undergraduate medical interns in Department of Colorectal Surgery were enrolled and randomly divided into experimental group receiving PBL teaching integrated with humanistic concern and control group receiving PBL teaching alone. Theoretical examination, operation examination, and patient satisfaction survey were performed after practice training to evaluate the teaching effect of the two groups . GraphPad Prism 6 software was used for statistical analysis of data, and the t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly higher scores of medical history collection (22.57±2.63 vs 20.87±3.08, t=3.124, P=0.002) and operation skills (31.42±2.89 vs 29.87±4.72, t=2.107, P=0.037), but there were no significant differences between the two groups in the scores of theoretical examination (90.60±3.19 vs 90.52±3.38, t=0.129, P=0.898) and medical record writing (20.78±2.79 vs 20.65±3.51, t=0.215, P=0.830). Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly higher degree of patient satisfaction with service attitude (3.94±1.07 vs 3.22±1.09, t=3.256, P=0.002), trust (3.85±1.16 vs 3.22±1.05, t=2.759, P=0.007), and communication skills (3.92±1.03 vs 3.16±1.03, t=3.652, P=0.000), but there were no significant differences between the two groups in the scores of operating skills (3.60±1.09 vs 3.67±1.10, t=0.281, P=0.779) and arrangement of medical procedures (2.74 ±1.10 vs 3.02 ±1.02, t=1.312, P=0.193). Conclusion The integration of humanistic concern into PBL teaching of anorectal surgery can improve students' clinical operation ability and degree of patient satisfaction.
