The American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC), in collaboration with multiple professional organizations, jointly released the "Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults" in August 2025. Based on the latest evidence-based medical findings from February 2015 to January 2025, the guideline proposes an individualized treatment strategy grounded in total cardiovascular disease risk stratification, incorporates the novel PREVENT risk assessment model, lowers the medication initiation threshold and control targets for high-risk populations, and provides specific management recommendations for special populations. This article provides an interpretation of these updates and conducts a comparative analysis with the current status of hypertension prevention and treatment in China as well as Chinese guidelines, aiming to offer reference for hypertension control practices in China.

Purpose To explore the clinical and pathological characteristics of primary benign,borderline,and malignant cardiac tumors in children.Methods 15 cases of primary cardiac tumors in children were collected,and their clinical manifestations,pathological morphology,and immunophenotypes were analyzed.Relevant literature was also reviewed.Results The age of 15 patients ranged from 0.3 to 12 years old,with an average age of about 5 years and a median age of 2 years.9 cases were males and 6 cases were females.4 cases were found to have heart masses during physical examination,3 cases were treated for symptoms of cerebral infarction,1 case was treated for limb weak-ness,1 case was treated for systemic edema,1 case was treated for accelerated heartbeat,1 case was treated for cough,1 case was treated for pneumonia,1 case was treated for abdominal pain,1 case was treated for vomiting,and 1 case was treated for fever and shortness of breath.Echocardiography showed 8 cases occurring in the left heart system(6 in the left atrium and 2 in the left ventricle),4 cases occurring in the right heart system(2 in the right atrium and 2 in the right ventricle),2 cases occurring in the pericardium,and 1 case occurring in the interventricular septum.Ac-cording to pathological diagnosis,13 cases were benign tumors(8 cases of mucinous tumors,4 cases of rhabdomyo-mas,and 1 case of fibroma),1 case was a malignant tumor(embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma),and 1 case was a border-line tumor(NTRK rearranged spindle cell tumor).Conclusion Primary cardiac tumors in children are relatively rare,and borderline and malignant tumors are even rarer.The types of common tumors are different from those in a-dults,and they are prone to misdiagnosis due to non-specific clinical symptoms.For specific cardiac tumors,it is rec-ommended to conduct genetic testing when necessary based on clinical manifestations to further investigate the possibili-ty of related syndromes.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship between multiple inflammatory markers and poor outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage,and to compare their predictive abilities.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the patients with intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 1,2015 to March 31,2023.According to the Modified Rankin Scale at 90 days after onset,the patients were divided into good outcome(mRS≤2 points)and poor outcome(mRS score≥3 points).Clinical information,laboratory examinations and follow-up data were compared between the two groups.Inflammatory markers include neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR),monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio(MHR),systemic inflammatory response index(SIRI),systemic immune-inflammation index(SII),white blood cell count to mean platelet volume ratio(WMR),lymphocyte to monocyte ratio(LMR),and systemic coagulation-inflammation index(SCI).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the predictors of poor prognosis after intracerebral hemorrhage,and receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was constructed to compare their predictive ability.Results A total of 510 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were included.Of those,297(58.2%)had good outcome,and 213(41.8%)had poor outcome.Comparison of baseline characteristics demonstrated that patients with poor prognosis had higher levels of white blood cells,neutrophils,high-density lipoprotein,fibrinogen,NLR,PLR,SIRI,SII,WMR at admission,larger baseline hematoma volume and baseline perihematomal edema volume,a higher proportion of lobar hemorrhage,older age,and lower levels of platelets,lymphocytes,LMR,and SCI(P<0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that NLR(OR:1.081,95%CI:1.032~1.1131,P=0.001),SIRI(OR:1.089,95%CI:1.014~1.169,P=0.019),SII(OR:1.000,95%CI:1.000~1.001,P=0.011),WMR(OR:2.627,95%CI:1.267~5.445,P=0.009)were independently associated with poor prognosis in patients with ICH.In ROC analysis,the area under the curve of NLR(0.729,95%CI:0.685~0.774)was higher than SIRI(0.692,95%CI:0.645~0.738),SII(0.688,95%CI:0.641~0.735)and WMR(0.65,95%CI:0.602~0.698)for predicting poor outcomes.Conclusion NLR,SIRI,SII and WMR at admission are independently associated with poor outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage,and NLR has the strongest predictive ability.

Natural products are an important source for innovative drugs,but unclear molecular targets and mechanisms limit their further development and application.The authors proposed a new method for the target identification of natural products based on proteolysis-targeting chimera(PROTAC)technology and quantitative proteomics,and established the targeted degradomics(TGDO) technology for the identification of weak-affinity tar-gets.This article summarizes the standardized workflow and the application of TGDO for target identification of natural products.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,treatment and prognosis of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL)with clonal bone marrow B cells,and to explore the influence on clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods PCNSL patients with clonal bone marrow B cells diagnosed by flow cytometry between Jan 2020 and Jul 2023 at Huashan Hospital of Fudan University were enrolled.The auxiliary examination data of these patients were collected,including complete blood count,routine biochemistry,bone marrow aspiration and biopsy,contrast-enhanced brain MRI,and whole-body PET-CT.Kaplan-Meier was used to draw the survival curve,and relevant literature was reviewed.Results A total of 223 newly diagnosed PCNSL patients were included,187 of whom completed bone marrow puncture and biopsy evaluation.We found clonal bone marrow B cells in 16 of 187 cases(8.56%)by flow cytometry.2 patients showed B lymphoma involving the bone marrow.All patients received a high-dose methotrexate based chemotherapy.The median progression free survival(PFS)of 16 patients with clonal bone marrow B cells was 11.1 months,and the median PFS of 171 patients with normal bone marrow was 12.6 months.There was no significant difference in the PFS between the two groups.Conclusion PCNSL with clonal bone marrow B cells had no specific clinical features,but bone marrow flow cytometry showed clonal B cells.High-dose methotrexate treatment regimen is effective.There was no significant difference in PFS for PCNSL patients with clonal B cells and normal findings in bone marrow.Clonal B cells in bone marrow may be caused by monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis(MBL),lymphoma involves the bone marrow and the presence of common precursor cells.Bone marrow examination should be performed in the initial evaluation of suspected PCNSL.
