The Proctor's reporting guideline for implementation strategies represents a landmark framework in the field of implementation science, aiming to address the issue of inconsistent reporting in implementation research by standardizing the naming, definition, and operationalization of implementation strategies, thereby enhancing the credibility and utility of research findings. This paper provides an in-depth interpretation of the core connotations of this reporting guideline and illustrates its application in developing interview outlines and specifying implementation strategies, using a brief smoking cessation intervention project as a case study. Through this reporting guideline, abstract recommendations for implementation are systematically transformed into clear, multidimensional operational guides, significantly improving the transparency of strategy connotations and the replicability of actual execution. Meanwhile, the case study highlights the flexibility of the guideline, which allows researchers to adapt the content and format of strategies based on local resources and cultural contexts, thus enhancing practical adaptability while maintaining scientific rigor. However, the application of Proctor's reporting guideline still faces challenges, primarily manifested in the potential confusion surrounding the constructs of temporality and dose in practice, as well as the challenges that the inherent flexibility of the guideline may pose to the assessment of fidelity and effectiveness. Despite these limitations, the reporting guideline remains a vital tool for implementation research; future efforts should focus on optimizing its application—through refining operational guidelines, standardizing flexible adaptations, and involving stakeholders—to better guide implementation studies and continuously promote high-quality development in the field.

Yinyang Gongji Pills have the effects of strengthening the body resistance to eliminate pathogenic factors, removing stasis, and reducing swelling, which is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) formula for treating intestinal accumulation. A real-world, registered, and single-arm clinical trial was conducted to observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Yinyang Gongji Pills combined with capecitabine in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer and analyze the clinical characteristics of the patients. A total of 60 patients with advanced colorectal cancer who refused or could not tolerate standard treatment of western medicine were included in the study. They were treated with Yinyang Gongji Pills combined with capecitabine until disease progression or intolerable adverse events occurred. The main observation indicators were progression-free survival(PFS) and safety. The treatment effects of the patients under different baseline characteristics were analyzed. The clinical trial has found that the median PFS of all enrolled patients was 7.3 months, with 30.1% of patients having a PFS exceeding 12.0 months. Layered analysis showed that the median PFS of patients with the onset site being the colon and rectum were respectively 8.4 and 4.7 months. The median PFS of patients with high, medium, and low tumor burden were respectively 7.0, 4.7, and 10.8 months. The median PFS of patients with wild-type and mutant-type RAS/BRAF were respectively 7.9 and 6.9 months. The median PFS of patients with KPS scores ≥80 and ≤70 were respectively 7.9 and 6.5 months. The median PFS of patients treated with Yinyang Gongji Pills for ≥6, 3-6, and ≤3 months were respectively 8.0, 5.2, and 4.2 months. The median PFS of patients with spleen, kidney, liver, and lung syndrome differentiation in TCM were respectively 8.3, 6.7, 7.3, and 5.6 months. The median PFS of patients with TCM pathological factors including phlegm, dampness, and blood stasis were respectively 7.0, 7.3, and 6.5 months. Common adverse reactions include anemia, decreased white blood cells, decreased appetite, fatigue, and hand foot syndrome, with incidence rates being respectively 44.2%, 34.6%, 42.3%, 32.7%, and 17.3%. The results showed that the combination of Yinyang Gongji Pills and capecitabine demonstrated potential clinical efficacy and good safety in this study. The patients have clinical characteristics such as low tumor burden, onset site at the colon, KPS scores ≥ 80, long duration of oral TCM, and TCM syndrome differentiation including spleen or liver.

OBJECTIVE: To confirm the sequence of a null allele HLA-C*08:127N produced by a base insertion. METHODS: PCR sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP) and PCR sequence-based typing (SBT) were used for HLA routine detection, which discovered abnormal sequence maps of HLA-C in one acute myeloid leukemia patient. The sequence of the above loci was confirmed by next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. RESULTS: The SSOP typing result showed that HLA-C locus was C*03:04, C*08:01, while the sequence was suspected to be inserted or deleted in exon 3 by SBT, and finally confirmed by NGS as C*03:04, C*08:127N. CONCLUSION When base insertion produces HLA null alleles, SBT analysis software cannot provide correct results, but NGS technology can more intuitively obtain accurate HLA typing results.

Objective To construct and validate a predictive model based on preoperative inflammatory biomarkers,and to evaluate its ability in predicting the prognosis of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)after receiving transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods A total of 544 patients with HCC,who received TACE as the initial treatment at six medical institutions between January 2007 and December 2020,were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into training cohort(n=376)and validation cohort(n=168).LASSO algorithm and Cox regression analysis were used to screen out the independent influencing factors and to make modelling.The model was validated based on the discrimination,calibration and clinical applicability,and the Kaplan-Meier risk stratification curves were plotted to determine the prognostic differences between groups.The likelihood ratio chi-square value,R2 value,akaike information criterion(AIC)value,C-index and AUROC value of the model were calculated to determine its accuracy and efficiency.Results The training cohort and validation cohort had 376 participants and 168 participants respectively.Multivariate analysis indicated that BCLC,tumor size,number of tumor lesions,neutrophil and prognostic nutritional index(PNI)were the independent influencing factors for postoperative overall survival(OS),with all P being＜0.05;the BCLC grade,tumor size,number of tumor lesions,NLR,PNI and PS score were the independent influencing factors for progression-free survival(PFS),with all P being＜0.05.The C-indexes of the OS and PFS models were 0.735(95％ CI=0.708-0.762)and 0.736(95％ CI=0.711-0.761)respectively,and the external validation was 0.721(95％ CI=0.680-0.762)and 0.693(95％ CI=0.656-0.730)respectively.Ideal discrimination ability of the nomogram was exhibited in time-dependent C-index,time-dependent ROC,and time-dependent AUC.The calibration curves significantly coincided with the ideal standard lines,indicating that the model had high stability and low over-fitting level.Decision curve analysis revealed that there was a wider range of threshold probabilities and it could augment net benefits.The Kaplan-Meier curves for risk stratification indicated that the prognosis of patients varied dramatically between risk categories(P＜0.000 1).The Kaplan-Meier curves for risk stratification indicated that the prognosis of patients varied dramatically among different risk groups(P＜0.000 1).The likelihood ratio chi-square value,R2 value,AIC value,C-index and AUROC value of the model were better than those of other models commonly used in clinical practice.Conclusion The newly-developed prognostic nomogram based on preoperative inflammatory indicators has excellent accuracy as well as excellent prediction effect in predicting the prognosis of patients with unresectable HCC after receiving TACE,therefore,it can be used as an effective tool for guiding individualized treatment and for predicting prognosis.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:245-258)

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of brusatol on the malignant biological behavior of ovarian cancer cells by regulating the sphingosine kinase 1 （SPHK1）/sphingosine-1-phosphate （S1P）/sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 （S1PR3） signaling pathway. METHODS Human ovarian cancer cell strain SKOV-3 were randomly divided into control group， brusatol group， SPHK1 overexpression group， brusatol+blank load group， brusatol+SPHK1 overexpression group. The cell viability， colony formation rate， the number of migration and invasion， apoptosis rate， the expressions of cell proliferation-related proteins [myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog （C-myc）]， apoptosis-related proteins [B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax）]， epithelial mesenchymal transition （EMT）-related proteins （E-cadherin， N-cadherin） and SPHK1， S1P， S1PR3 proteins were all detected in each group. Transplanted tumor model of nude mice was constructed by using SKOV-3 cells and randomly separated into control group， brusatol low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups， SPHK1 overexpression group， high- dose brusatol+blank load group， and high-dose brusatol+SPHK1 overexpression group； the growth of transplanted tumors were detected. The nude mice model of SKOV-3 transplantation tumor was randomly divided into control group， brusatol group， SPHK1 overexpression group， brusatol+blank load group， and brusatol+SPHK1 overexpression group； the proliferation and apoptosis of transplanted tumor tissue， the expressions of EMT-related Δ 基金项目江西省中医药管理局科技计划项目（No.2023B0762） ＊第一作者 副主任药师 。研究方向 ：药学研究及药理学 。E- proteins and SPHK1/S1P/S1PR3 signaling pathway proteins mail：jsgj2023@126.com were detected in each group.

Mice experiments in vivo had shown that compared with the control group， the transplanted tumor volumes of nude mice in the brusatol low-dose， medium- dose and high-dose groups were decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner after 21 days of intervention （P＜0.05）. Brusatol of high dose could also significantly reduce the protein expressions of C-myc， Bcl-2， N-cadherin， SPHK1， S1P and S1PR3 in transplanted tumor tissue of nude mice （P＜0.05）， and significantly increase the protein expressions of Bax and E- cadherin （P＜0.05）； overexpression of SPHK1 could weaken the effects of brusatol on the above indicators in transplanted tumor tissue of nude mice. CONCLUSIONS Brusatol can inhibit the proliferation， cloning， EMT， migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells， and induce their apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of SPHK1/S1P/S1PR3 signaling pathway. It can also inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells in nude mice， ultimately suppressing their malignant biological behavior and exerting significant anti-cancer effects on ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

This article reported a typical case of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia(PKD).The patient was a 26-year-old female with a medical history of 10 years.The patient manifested as paroxysmal choreoathetosis of the limb and head triggered by sudden movement in a quiet state,without sensory aura.The symptoms resolved spontaneously after tens of seconds.She was conscious during and between attacks,had a clear family history and a normal neurological examination.No abnormalities were found in brain magnetic resonance image and electroencephalogram.Genetic test showed a frame-shift mutation of c.776del in PRRT2 gene of the proband and her father with similar phenotype.The patient was diagnosed with PKD according to the diagnostic criteria for PKD.The symptoms were significantly relieved after one month of oxcarbazepine treatment with good prognosis.PKD is a rare movement disorder.The patient has typical symptoms,and the mutation site has not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database.Therefore,this article enriched the pathogenic gene mutation spectrum of PKD,provided a basis for genetic counseling of PKD and increased the awareness of this rare disease among physicians.
