Prostate cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor of the male genitourinary system in China, with a persistently elevated incidence rate.Given the insidious onset, propensity for metastasis in advanced stages, and poor efficacy of traditional treatments, new hormone therapies have garnered increasing attention in recent years.A number of clinical studies have demonstrated that second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors (SGARIs), including enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide, and rezvilutamide, can be beneficial in different stages of advanced prostate cancer.Furthermore, their early application has been shown to delay disease progression while maintaining a controlled safety profile.At present, SGARIs have increasingly become the primary therapeutic agents for advanced prostate cancer in various stages.This article reviews the clinical research progress of SGARIs in recent years, with the aim of offering valuable clinical reference for clinicians.

Functional dyspepsia （FD） is a prioritized disease category where traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） demonstrates distinct therapeutic advantages. The current western medicine treatment for FD is mainly based on proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic agents， with digestive enzymes， probiotics and antidepressants serving as adjuvant medication， yet such therapies still have certain limitations. TCM treatment for FD includes oral administration of Chinese herbal formulas and Chinese patent medicines， as well as external TCM therapies such as acupuncture and moxibustion， acupoint application， hot medicinal compress therapy， rubbing with ointment， medicinal iontophoresis， auricular acupoint therapy and tui na （Chinese medical massage）. The combined treatment of FD with integrated TCM and western medicine can significantly improve clinical effectiveness and reduce adverse reactions. The common mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of both TCM and western medicine revolve around the core pathological processes of FD， mainly focusing on restoring gastrointestinal motility， regulating the levels of brain-gut peptides， modulating intestinal microecology， and ameliorating inflammatory status. The differential mechanisms lie in the precise targeting feature of western medicine versus the holistic-regulating and multi-target characteristics of TCM， and the two approaches exert a synergistic effect to enhance efficacy. This paper proposes to leverage the advantages of TCM in holistic regulation and the strengths of western medicine in targeted treatment， so as to provide personalized and comprehensive treatment regimens for FD patients.

Chinese medicine compound can play the role of reducing inflammation, improving oxidative stress and regulating insulin resistance by regulating MAPK, AMPK, JAK/STAT, PI3K-Akt-mTOR, NF-κB, PPARγ/RXRα, STING-IRF3 and other related signaling pathways, which is characteristic of multi-component, multi-pathway, multi-target regulation. The research progress in the modulation of relevant signaling pathways by traditional Chinese medicine combinations for the treatment of simple obesity were reviewed, which provided a theoretical basis and research ideas for clinical practice.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and related prognostic factors of hypertriglyceridemia acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 350 patients with HTG-AP admitted to HanZhong Central Hospital from March 2019 to March 2024. All patients received conventional treatment. They were followed up for one year after treatment. The prognosis of the patients was statistically analyzed, and logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of prognosis. Results HTG-AP patients had an acute onset, with clinical symptoms of sudden upper abdominal pain (329/350), nausea and vomiting (275/350), acidosis (101/350), and multiple organ failure (38/350). All patients had elevated serum TG. During the follow-up period, 123 cases had a poor prognosis (poor prognosis group), and 227 cases had a good prognosis (good prognosis group). Compared with the good prognosis group, the patients in the poor prognosis group had higher levels of TG, creatinine and C-reactive protein at admission, lower levels of serum calcium and albumin, and higher proportions of diabetes mellitus history and severe conditions (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis found that the factors related to the prognosis of patients with HTG-AP were TG level, C-reactive protein level, albumin level, history of diabetes mellitus, and moderate to severe condition (P<0.05). Conclusion HTG-AP patients have an acute onset and have main clinical symptoms of sudden upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Some patients experience systemic inflammatory reactions such as acidosis and multiple organ failure, and they may also have significantly increased serum TG. TG, C-reactive protein, albumin, history of diabetes mellitus, and severe disease conditions are associated with the prognosis of HTG-AP patients.

OBJECTIVE To further standardize the technical operations and management processes throughout therapeutic drug monitoring （TDM）， clarify the clinical value of TDM implementation， improve the scientific validity and reliability of monitoring results， and provide a solid reference basis for the formulation and optimization of clinical individualized precision dosing regimens. METHODS The Guidelines for the Management of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring were formulated in accordance with the latest definition of guidelines by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies and the standard guideline development methodology of the World Health Organization， and in compliance with the requirements of the appraisal of guidelines for research and evaluation. A modified Delphi method was adopted to establish the research question system； evidence-based medicine research methods were applied to systematically search multiple databases to screen the latest and most comprehensive evidence. Evidence was graded and evaluated based on the evidence grading system of the Chinese Evidence-Based Medicine Center， and the grading criteria for recommendation strength from the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine were used to determine the recommendation strength. The recommendation opinions were formed through multidisciplinary expert consensus. RESULTS The Guidelines for the Management of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring cover four core modules， including TDM application indications， technical procedures， result interpretation and clinical application， and quality control， involving 18 primary research questions， 34 secondary research questions， and yield 82 recommendations. CONCLUSIONS The guidelines systematically standardize the key technical links and management requirements of the whole TDM process， provide scientific and operable standardized tools， help improve the standardization level of TDM work， promote the translation of monitoring results into clinical decision-making， and provide strong support for precision personalized medicine and ensuring the safety and rationality of medication use.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) in the treatment of mild to moderate female pattern hair loss (FPHL), and to analyze the related clinical factors affecting the therapeutic efficacy of i-PRF. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective, randomized controlled trial. A total of 29 FPHL patients with Sinclair grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ, who attended the outpatient clinics of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University and Peking University Third Hospital from March 2024 to April 2025, were enrolled. All patients received i-PRF treatment once every 4 weeks for a total of 4 sessions, with follow-up up to 24 weeks. Standardized clinical photographs were taken at baseline, week 12 and week 24. Trichoscopic examination was performed to measure the non-vellus target area hair count (TAHC) and hair diameter (HD) in the target area, and all adverse events were recorded. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the intergroup differences in efficacy for categorical influencing factors; Spearman rank correlation analysis was employed to assess the correlation between continuous influencing factors and efficacy; and multiple linear regression (enter method) was performed to identify independent influencing factors of efficacy. Results: A total of 27 patients completed the trial. At week 12, TAHC significantly increased from 112 (105, 120) hairs/cm at baseline to 128 (110, 150) hairs/cm , with a median increase of 12 (5, 28) hairs/cm and a median growth rate of 10.5 (4.2, 24.5)% (P=0.045); hair diameter significantly increased from 42.5 (39.8, 45.2) μm to 52.0 (47.0, 58.0) μm, with a median increase of 7.5 (3.0, 12.5) μm and a median growth rate of 18.0 (7.5, 29.0)% (P<0.001). At week 24, TAHC further significantly increased to 141 (125, 158) hairs/cm (P<0.001), with a median growth rate of 24.8 (18.5, 32.0)%; hair diameter continued to improve to 55.0 (50.0, 61.0) μm (P=0.008), with a median growth rate of 21.5 (16.0, 27.0)%. The overall incidence of adverse events was 10.34% (3/29), mainly presenting as mild scalp pruritus and transient headache, without severe adverse effects. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that baseline TAHC was an independent influencing factor for i-PRF efficacy (P<0.05), while age, BMI, disease duration, Sinclair grade, family history of AGA, and baseline HD showed no significant independent effect on efficacy in this model (P>0.05). Conclusion: This preliminary study indicates that i-PRF can improve hair density and hair shaft diameter in patients with FPHL with a favorable safety profile. Patients with FPHL and lower baseline TAHC may achieve greater clinical improvement.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective To compare the effects of upper limb remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC)with different pressure modes on enhancing high-altitude acclimatization in healthy adult males rapidly exposed to high-altitude environments.Methods In May 2024,86 male adult residents living plain areas planning a high-altitude travel were recruited through advertisements in Chongqing by Department of Anesthesiology at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University.The participants were randomly divided into a variable pressure training group(n=29),a constant pressure training group(n=29),and a control group(n=28).The variable pressure training group underwent RIPC training in a variable pressure mode[occlusion pressure was set at systolic blood pressure(SBP)+40 mmHg],while the constant pressure training group received RIPC training in a constant pressure mode(fixed occlusion pressure of 200 mmHg).Both groups completed a bilateral upper limb RIPC training(twice daily,5 cycles per time of 10-min occlusion followed by 5-min reperfusion)for 14 d.The control group received no such training.On the 3rd day post-training,all participants entered a simulated 4 500 m altitude chamber for 7 h.The incidence and severity of acute mountain sickness(AMS)were observed and evaluated,and the vital signs and cerebral tissue oxygenation index(CTOI)were recorded.Results The incidence of AMS was 23.1%in the variable pressure training group(RR=0.4,95%CI:0.2～0.8,Chi-square=9.433,P=0.002)and 16.0%in the constant pressure training group(RR=0.2,95%CI:0.1～0.6,Chi-square=12.833,P<0.001),and both incidences were significantly lower than that in the control group(65.4%).The AMS symptom score in the variable pressure training group[1.5(0.8,3.0)vs(3.1±1.9),P=0.018]and the score in the constant pressure training group[1.0(1.0,2.0)vs(3.1±1.9),P=0.001]were significantly lower than that in the control group.The dizziness score was obviously lower in the variable pressure training group[0(0,1.0)vs 1.0(1.0,1.0),P=0.001]and the constant pressure training group[1.0(0,1.0)vs 1.0(1.0,1.0),P=0.003]than the control group,so was the fatigue/weakness score in the variable pressure training group[0(0,0.3)vs 1.0(0,1.0),P=0.006],the constant pressure training group[0 vs 1.0(0,1.0),P<0.001],and the control group.The change of CTOI(ΔCTOI)in the variable pressure training group(P=0.010)and the constant pressure training group(P=0.042)was significantly lower than that in the control group.There were no statistical differences in the 3 groups in terms of SpO2,HR,SBP or DBP(P>0.05).What's more,no significant differences were observed in the incidence of AMS,AMS score,dizziness score,fatigue/weakness score,or ΔCTOI between the variable pressure training group and the constant pressure training group(P>0.05).Conclusion Both upper limb RIPC protocols,variable-pressure(SBP+40 mmHg)and fixed-pressure(200 mmHg),can effectively enhance high-altitude acclimatization by reducing AMS incidence,symptom severity,and cerebral oxygen desaturation.

A subset of patients with multiple myeloma(MM)present with reduced serum vitamin B12 levels at initial diagnosis;however,its clinical significance and underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis and immune regulation.This study aims to elucidate its association with extramedullary diseases,immune function,and prognosis in MM patients.A retrospec-tive analysis was conducted of 92 newly diagnosed MM patients,who received treatment at the Second Af-filiated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2020 and December 2023.Patients were classi-fied into a low vitamin B12 group(n=37)and a normal vitamin B12 group(n=55)based on their ser-um vitamin B12 levels.The findings revealed that the incidence of extramedullary infiltration was signifi-cantly higher in the low vitamin B12 group than in the normal group(26.5％vs.17.0％,P=0.031).Survival analysis demonstrated that patients with low vitamin B12 levels had significantly shorter overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)(OS:P=0.0123;PFS:P=0.0136).Additionally,these patients showed a decreasing trend in peripheral blood total T cell,CD4+T cell,and CD8+T cell counts,with serum vitamin B12 levels showing a significant positive correlation with the total T cell count(R=0.2717,P=0.0135)and CD4+T cell count(R=0.2175,P=0.0497).In conclusion,reduced serum vitamin B12 levels at initial diagnosis are significantly associated with poor prognosis in MM pa-tients and may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker.Furthermore,vitamin B12 deficiency may con-tribute to immune dysfunction,particularly impaired T cell immunity,and a higher incidence of extr-amedullary diseases.
