Objective:To investigate the current state of death cognition among healthcare providers in hematology department and their attitudes toward hospice care for patients with hematologic malignancies.Methods:A cross-sectional investigation study was conducted. A total of 198 medical staff in hematology department of 4 teaching hospitals, including the First School of Clinical Medicine of Guangdong Medical University, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Putian University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University from March 2024 to June 2024 were selected as the investigation subjects. The general situation and background of medical staff in hematology department were investigated by using the "General Sociological Questionnaire". "Death Attitude Description Scale (Chinese version)" was used to investigate the status of death cognition among medical staff in hematology department. "Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale Form B (Chinese version)" was used to investigate the hospice care attitude of medical staff in hematology department. The survey results of doctors and nurses were compared.Results:There were 105 doctors and 93 nurses in hematology department included in this study. A total of 198 qualified "General Sociology Questionnaires" were collected. After excluding 6 unqualified questionnaires, 192 copies of "Death Attitude Description Scale (Chinese version)" and "Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale Form B (Chinese version)" were collected. There were statistically significant differences in gender, educational background, political status and experience of taking care of terminally ill patients between doctors and nurses (all P < 0.05). The scores of approaching acceptance, neutral acceptance, death escape, death fear and flight acceptance were (4.35±0.37), (4.03±0.51), (2.98±0.62), (2.54±0.29) and (2.19±0.42) points, respectively in the doctor group; the corresponding scores were (3.12±0.41), (3.89±0.46), (2.66±0.63), (2.81±0.57) and (2.37±0.65) points, respectively in the nurse group, and the differences between the 2 groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The total score of hospice care attitude of doctors in hematology department was (108±15) points, and that of nurses was (116±13) points, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = -3.61, P < 0.001). The hospice care attitude of doctors and nurses towards patients with hematologic malignancies is generally between positive and neutral. The nurse group showed more recognition of the positive role of the patient's family members in the process of hospice care, and the doctor group showed more recognition of the promoting role of medical staff in hospice care. There were statistically significant differences in hospice care attitude scores of medical staff in hematology department to patients with different occupational background, gender, age, place of residence, family discussion about death, whether the only child, whether they had the experience of taking care of terminally ill patients, and whether they suffered from serious illness and religious belief (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The death cognition of medical staff in hematology department is neutral, and they show a certain sense of hospice care.

Lung cancer is the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality rate worldwide. In addition to the diversified treatment and prolonged lifespan in view of the development of medical technology, the side effect of medicine should not be ignored. Drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DI-ILD) is also commonly encountered during this process, and ILD triggered by the treatment of lung cancer characterized by the inflammation and scarring of lung tissue after the antitumor treatment in lung cancer leads to a poor prognosis and high mortality. The diagnosis and treatment of ILD caused by anti-lung cancer agents remains challenging in clinical settings and requires joint efforts from multidisciplinary team (MDT). This review systematically updates the epidemiology, molecular pathogenesis, genomics/genetics study, diagnosis and treatment of ILD related to anti-lung cancer agents. By the integration of the latest evidences, the paper offers clinical work references for early diagnosis of ILD related to anti-lung cancer agents to enhance the survival and quality of life of the lung cancer patients.

Environmental factors play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung cancer, with epigenetic regulation, particularly DNA methylation, serving as a central molecular mechanism. This review systematically elaborated on the mechanisms by which environmental exposures dynamically regulate lung cancer development through influencing DNA methylation and summarized recent advances in the clinical translation of related epigenetic biomarkers for early diagnosis and targeted therapy. Relevant studies published between December 2018 and March 2025 were retrieved from Chinese and English databases, and 64 articles were included in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Environmental exposures can specifically induce abnormal methylation of tumor suppressor genes such as the aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor (AHRR) and Ras‑associated domain family 1 isoform A (RASSF1A), thereby promoting genomic instability and activation of oncogenes. In terms of clinical translation, methylation detection of genes including short stature homeobox 2 (SHOX2) and RASSF1A in plasma has demonstrated favorable diagnostic performance, with a sensitivity of 87.0% (95%CI: 80.2%, 91.5%) and a specificity of 98.0% (95%CI: 94.9%, 99.4%), indicating its applicability for early screening of lung cancer. However, although current DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors can achieve epigenetic reprogramming, their applications still face challenges related to insufficient selectivity among different tumor subtypes. Given that environmental factors drive lung carcinogenesis via epigenetic mechanisms, there is an urgent need to establish a three‑tier prevention and control framework encompassing “environmental monitoring – methylation biomarker screening – targeted intervention.” Future efforts should focus on deepening integrated multi‑omics analyses, developing subtype‑selective DNMT inhibitors, and optimizing multimodal detection strategies for methylation biomarkers to advance precision prevention and treatment of lung cancer.

OBJECTIVE To establish a reliable mouse eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis model,study the histological and immunological effects of glucocorticoids on type 2 inflammatory cells and factors in nasal mucosa,and provide an animal model basis for the biological treatment of CRS and related research of resistance to glucocorticoids in vivo.METHODS The CRS model group was treated with ovalbumin and Staphylococcal enterotoxins B.The dexamethasone intervention group received an additional weekly intraperitoneal injection of dexamethasone for 8 weeks.The expression of type-2 innate lymphoid cell(ILC2)in the nasal mucosa was detected with immunofluorescence and the expression of tryptase+mast cells,eosinophil cationic protein(ECP),IL-5,IL-25,and IL-33 in the nasal mucosa was detected with immunohistochemical.RESULTS The nasal mucosa eosinophils in the dexamethasone intervention group was lower than in the CRS model group(P<0.05).Thy-1+ST2+ILC2 cells in the dexamethasone intervention group were less than those of the CRS model group,and Thy-1+ST2+ILC2 cells were rare in the control group.Tryptase+mast cells were moderately positive in the CRS model group and weakly positive in the control group and in the dexamethasone intervention group.ECP and IL-5 were strongly positive in the CRS model group and weakly positive in the control group and the dexamethasone intervention group.IL-25 was moderately positive in the control group,strongly positive in the CRS model group,and weakly positive in the dexamethasone intervention group.IL-33 was weakly positive in the control group,while the CRS model group and the dexamethasone intervention group were strongly positive.CONCLUSION Intraperitoneal injection of dexamethasone reduce the number of eosinophils,Thy-1+ST2+ILC2 cells and tryptase+mast cells in the nasal mucosa of the mouse CRS model.It can also down-regulate the expression of ECP,IL-5,and IL-25 in tissues,but it does not have a significant effect on the expression of IL-33 in tissues.

Objective To evaluate the results of anorectal dynamics in patients with severe rec-tocele.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 38 patients defini-tively diagnosed with severe rectocele at the pelvic floor center of the anorectal department of Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to January 2023.All patients underwent anorectal manometry,and the results of anorectal dynamics were analyzed.Results A total of 15 pa-tients(39.47％)had elevated anal resting pressure(ARP),20(52.63％)had normal ARP,and 3(7.89％)had decreased ARP.Five patients(13.16％)had elevated maximum anal sphincter pressure(MASP),9(23.68％)had normal MASP,and 24(63.16％)had decreased MASP.Nor-mal defecation relaxation reflex was observed in 15 patients(39.47％),and abnormal defecation re-laxation reflex was observed in 23 patients(60.53％).Ten patients(26.32％)had normal rectal defecation pressure,and 28(73.68％)had decreased rectal defecation pressure.Eleven patients(28.95％)had elevated rectal initial sensory threshold(RIST),27(71.05％)had normal RIST.Fifteen patients(39.47％)had elevated rectal defecation sensory threshold,21(55.26％)had normal rectal defecation sensory threshold,and 2(5.26％)had decreased rectal defecation sensory threshold.Three patients(7.89％)had elevated rectal maximum tolerable volume,26(68.42％)had normal rectal maximum tolerable volume,and 9(23.68％)had decreased rectal maximum tolerable vol-ume.ARP was moderately positively correlated with the chronic constipation severity(CSS)score(P=0.007,r=0.429),and abnormal defecation relaxation reflex was moderately negatively correla-ted with the CSS score(P=0.019,r=-0.329).In 3 patients(7.89％),both ARP and MASP were decreased,and both ARP and MASP were elevated in 5 patients(13.16％).Conclusion Pre-operative anorectal dynamics analysis is necessary for patients with severe rectocele to formulate a reasonable individualized surgical plan and postoperative rehabilitation program.

Background and purpose:For patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer,trastuzumab treatment can prolong the overall survival and significantly improve the prognosis of patients.However,the reference original research trastuzumab(Herceptin?)is more expensive.Biosimilars have comparable efficacy and safety profiles while increasing patient access to treatment.This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy,pharmacokinetics,safety and immunogenicity of the trastuzumab biosimilar AK-HER2 compared to trastuzumab(Herceptin?)in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.Methods:This multi-center,randomised,double-blind phase Ⅲ clinical trial was conducted in 43 subcenters in China.This study complied with the research protocol,the ethical principles stated in the Declaration of Helsinki and the quality management standards for drug clinical trials.It was approved by the hospital's medical ethics committee.The clinical trial registration agency is the State Food and Drug Administration(clinical trial approval number:2015L04224;clinical trial registration number:CTR20170516).Written informed consent was obtained from subjects before enrollment.Enrolled patients were randomly assigned to the AK-HER2 group and the control group,respectively receiving AK-HER2 or trastuzumab(initial loading dose 8 mg/kg,maintenance dose 6 mg/kg,every 3 weeks as a treatment cycle,total treatment time is 16 cycles)in combination with docetaxel(75 mg/m2,treatment duration is at least 9 cycles).The primary endpoint of this clinical trial was the objective response rate(ORR9)between the AK-HER2 group and the control group in the 9th cycle.Secondary efficacy endpoints included ORR16,disease control rate(DCR),clinical benefit rate(CBR),progression-free survival(PFS)and 1-year survival rate.In this study,100 subjects(AK-HER2 group to control group=1:1)were randomly selected for blood sample collection after the 6th cycle of medication,The collection time points were 45 minutes after infusion(the end of administration),4,8,24,72,120,168,336,and 504 hours after the end of administration.After collection,blood samples were analyzed by PK parameter set(PKPS).Other evaluation parameters included safety and immunogenicity assessment.Results:A total of 550 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer were enrolled in this clinical trial between Sep.2017 and Mar.2021.In the AK-HER2 group(n=237),129 subjects in the experimental group achieved complete response(CR)or partial response(PR),and the ORR9 was 54.4%.There were 134 subjects in the control group(n=241)who achieved CR or PR,and the ORR9 was 55.6%.The ORR9 ratio between the AK-HER2 group and the control group was 97.9%[90%confidence interval(CI):85.4%-112.2%,P=0.784],which was not statistically significant.In all secondary efficacy endpoints,no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups.We conducted a mean ratio analysis of pharmacokinetics(PK)parameters between the AK-HER2 group and the control group,and the results suggested that the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the two drugs are similar.The incidence of treatment emergent adverse event(TEAE)leading to drug reduction or suspension during trastuzumab treatment was 3.6%(10 cases)in the AK-HER2 group and 8.1%(22 cases)in the control group.There was statistically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.027).The incidence rate was significantly lower in the AK-HER2 group than in the control group,and there was no statistically significant difference among the other groups.The differences in the positive rates of anti-drug antibodies(ADA)and neutralizing antibodies(NAB)between groups were of no statistical significance(P=0.385 and P=0.752).Conclusion:In patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer,AK-HER2 was comparable to the trastuzumab(Herceptin?)in terms of drug efficacy,pharmacokinetics,safety and immunogenicity.

The macrophages,as a crucial component of the body's immune system,can be polarized into M1 and M2 types by different cellular molecules in various environments,and contribute to the progression of various diseases.In inflammatory responses,the M1 macrophages are primarily regarded as the pro-inflammatory cells,facilitate the inflammation progression,tissue destruction,and bone resorption,while M2 macrophages,as inflammatory cells,participate in tissue healing and bone repairment.In the tumor microenvironment,the roles of M1 and M2 macrophages are reversed.The periodontitis,pulpitis,and oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)are the most prevalent inflammation and tumor in the oral cavity.Therefore,this article summarizes the relevant researches from home and abroad on the polarization of macrophages in oral inflammatory responses such as periodontitis,peri-implantitis,and pulpitis,bone remodeling during orthodontic treatment,and OSCC,and elucidate the metabolic activities of macrophages in infiammation,tumor,and bone remodeling and the mechanism of regulating the onset and development of diseases by the macrophage polarization,and provides new perspectives for the clinical treatment.
