The etiology of tumors is complex and influenced by multiple factors, including the host and environmental conditions. Allergy is primarily driven by the immune response of helper T cell 2 (Th2). Research has shown that the Th2 immune response is closely related to tumors, which is specifically manifested through Th2 antibodies, allergy-related effector cells and mediators within the tumors, as well as tumor immune-related functions. This internal interaction mechanism will increase the complexity and challenges associated with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of tumors and allergy. The formation of allergic constitution is shaped by both congenital and acquired factors, and its physical state is closely linked to the occurrence and progression of allergic diseases. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the relationship between tumors and allergic reactions from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution theory. Based on the four basic principles of the TCM constitution, including endowment inheritance theory, environment constraint theory, body-spirit composition theory, and life process theory, this exploration will focus on four aspects: genetic factors and internal disease causes, inflammatory environments and functional regulation, psychological disorders and emotional pathogenesis, as well as age structure and disease risk. Furthermore, from the perspective of constitution-disease relation of chronic disease prevention, this paper will discuss the significant importance of adjusting allergic constitution to improve both subjective symptoms and objective indicators of allergic reactions in tumor patients.

Artificial intelligence （AI） and population pharmacokinetics （PPK） technologies have demonstrated significant potential in the personalized medication of immunosuppressants after organ transplantation, enabling precise prediction of drug dosages. This article provides a comprehensive review of the application status of AI and PPK in the individualized administration of immunosuppressants after organ transplantation， focuses on monitoring blood drug concentration， predicting efficacy/adverse reactions， and establishing individualized dosing models for organ transplant recipients after immunosuppressant administration， and analyzes and compares the application characteristics of different methods in different organ transplant patients as well as the integration and future development of AI and PPK technologies. AI and PPK technologies can not only significantly reduce the dependence on human resources， but also greatly improve the level of individualized treatment of immunosuppressants after organ transplantation， and reduce the discomfort and burden caused by frequent blood concentration monitoring to patients.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 （GLP-1） receptor agonists are a novel class of antidiabetic drugs that also possess lipid- lowering and cardiovascular protective effects， with liraglutide and semaglutide being their representative medications. Based on a systematic literature search， this review summarizes the lipid-lowering mechanisms by which liraglutide and semaglutide exert direct effects on the liver and kidney （regulating autophagy， key lipid metabolism pathways， reverse cholesterol transport， etc.）， direct actions on adipose tissue （affecting adipocyte proliferation and differentiation， expression of lipid metabolism proteins， and gene transcription）， activation of sympathetic pathways through the central nervous system， and modulation of the gut microbiota. Additionally， it summarizes the clinical evidence of their lipid-lowering effects in populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus， overweight individuals， and others. These findings indicate that GLP-1 receptor agonists exert lipid-lowering effects by acting on multiple tissues or systems， providing crucial evidence for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms of these drugs in lipid regulation and exploring potential new ideas for their clinical applications.

Objective To explore the application effect of multi-component home-based exercise in elderly patients with osteoporosis and frailty.Methods A total of 52 elderly patients with osteoporosis and frailty were recruited from the osteoporosis clinic of a tertiary hospital in Nanjing,Jiangsu Province from March to August 2022 using the convenience sampling method.Subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group with 26 cases in each group by the random number table.The experimental group was given the home-based exercise program,while the control group maintained the daily lifestyle.Short Physical Performance Battery(SPPB),grip strength,Frail Scale and Chinese Osteoporosis-targeted Quality of Life Questionnaire(COQOL)of the 2 groups were compared at 12 weeks and 24 weeks,and bone mineral density(BMD)was analyzed after 24-week intervention.Results The scores in the experimental group had significant statistical differences in SPPB,grip strength,Frail Scale and COQOL compared with those in the control group after 12-week and 24-week intervention(P＜0.05).The BMD of total hip of the experimental group was significantly higher than it in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The home-based exercise program can help the elderly with osteoporosis and frailty to improve the physical function and upper body strength,improve the frailty state,and enhance the quality of life,and it may be one of the effective intervention methods to prevent and reverse the frailty state of osteoporosis patients.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors affecting the prognosis of penile cancer after surgery.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 112 cases of penile cancer treated in Weifang People's Hospital from January 2013 to De-cember 2023.Using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve,χ2 test,Fisher's exact test,and univariate and multivariate Cox risk regression analyses,we compared the clinical characteristics among different groups,and determined the independent prognostic risk factors for cancer-specific survival(CSS)of the patients.Results:The 1-,3-and 5-year CSS rates of the penile cancer patients were 78.2%,66.1% and 63.7%,respectively.Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated a significant correlation of a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)with a lower CSS rate(P<0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed high NLR(HR=2.6;95% CI:1.031-6.558;P=0.043)to be an independent risk factor for CSS.Conclusion:Preoperative NLR is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of penile cancer.In addition,older age,farmer or worker occupation,lower education,preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio(LMR)≤2.81,preoperative fibrinogen(FIB)≥3.41 g/L,advanced tumor stage and tumor differentiation are associated with the poor prognosis the malignancy.

Objective:To investigate the etiology of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Mianyang city in 2022, and to analyze the genetic characteristics of coxsackievirus A6.Methods:Pharyngeal swabs were collected from patients with HFMD in Mianyang city in 2022. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect enteroviruses in the samples. Part of the VP1 gene in enterovirus-positive samples was amplified by nested PCR using enterovirus typing primers to further identify the viral types. The VP1 coding region of all CVA6-positive samples and the whole genome of some samples were amplified and sequenced by PCR. The endemic strain in Mianyang city was analyzed for phylogeny, gene homology, amino acid variation and genetic recombination.Results:A total of 151 pharyngeal swabs were collected, and 104 enterovirus-positive samples were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, with an overall detection rate of 68.88% (104/151). The typing results showed that there were 77 cases of CVA6 infection, with a positive rate of 50.99% (77/151). The full-length VP1 genes of 77 CVA6 strains were amplified, sequenced, and successfully spliced, and phylogenetic analysis showed that all 77 strains were of the D3 genotype. There were multiple amino acid variant sites in the prevalent strains in Mianyang city compared with the reference strain. Twenty whole genome sequences were amplified, sequenced, and successfully spliced, and homology analysis showed that the nucleotide homology between the 20 positive sequences ranged from 97.0% to 99.9%. Phylogenetic tree and recombination analysis showed that no recombination occurred in the coding regions of the epidemic strains in this study.Conclusions:The predominant pathogen causing HFMD in Mianyang city in 2022 is CVA6 D3 subtype, which is consistent with the national epidemic in 2022.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sequential consolidation thoracic radiotherapy after first-line chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC).Methods:A retrospective analysis of patients with extensive-stage SCLC admitted to Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from January 2019 to September 2022 was conducted. Patients who achieved effective chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy received sequential consolidation thoracic radiotherapy. The safety was evaluated according to the common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) 5.0 standard, and the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.Results:A total of 33 patients were enrolled, with a median age of 66 years (range, 50-79 years). The median follow-up time was 20 months (range, 3-33 months). Fifteen patients (46%) had disease progression, and 12 patients (36%) died. The toxicities mainly included leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, radiation esophagitis, anorexia, and fatigue, etc. Six patients (18%) had grade 4 hematological toxicity, mainly leukopenia. One patient (3%) had grade 3 radiation pneumonitis, and 3 patients (9%) had grade 1-2 radiation pneumonitis. No grade 5 toxicity was observed in all patient groups. The median PFS was 12 months (95% CI=3.9-20.1). The 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year PFS rates were 78%, 49.6%, and 35.6%, respectively. The median OS was 23 months (95% CI=15.98-30.01). The 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year OS rates were 86.2%, 74.5%, and 47.2%, respectively.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of tumor-treating fields (TTFields) and chemoradiation in patients with high-grade glioblastoma.Methods:Clinical data of 38 patients admitted to the Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from September 2021 to May 2023 who were diagnosed with high-grade glioblastoma (36 cases of World Health Organization grade Ⅳ and 2 cases of grade Ⅲ) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received TTFields combined with concurrent chemoradiation after surgery. Response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria was used to evaluate the glioma responses as tumor remission, stable or progression. Common terminology criteria for adverse events v5.0 and TTFields related skin adverse reaction (dAE) criteria were used to evaluate the adverse events. Treatment compliance was assessed by data on the NovoTTF-200A therapeutic device, calculated as a percentage of daily TTFields usage time. Survival analysis was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test.Results:The median duration of treatment with TTFields in 38 patients was 20 h (rang: 2.4-22.6 h), and the median treatment compliance was 83% (range: 10%-94%). After 42 days of TTFields combined with concurrent chemoradiation, 12 patients who underwent complete tumor resection were assessed as stable according to RANO criteria. Among the 26 patients who underwent partial tumor resection, 23 (88%) were evaluated as disease remission according to RANO criteria. The 7-, 10-, 13-month progression-free survival rate was 81.0%、64.0%、49.5%, repectively. The common adverse events included grade 1 (45%) and grade 2 (8%) dAE, without grade 3-4 dAE. Typical presentations included contact dermatitis, blisters, lesions or ulcers, and abscesses. The median follow-up time was 10.0 months (range: 1.6-21.3 months). At follow-up as of July 2023, 26 of the 38 patients were stable and 12 had disease progression (8 died).Conclusion:The preliminary results show that TTFields combined with chemoradiation is effective, safe and reliable treatment for high-grade glioblastoma.

Objective To explore the predictive value of immune inflammation combined with liver function hematological indicators for the metastasis of colorectal cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 133 patients with colorectal cancer was conducted.The patients were divided into three groups based on disease progression after 24 months of postoperative follow-up:non-metastasis group(n=38),liver metastasis group(n=43),and non-liver distant metastasis group(n=52).The immune inflammatory markers and liver function hematological indicators of progression-free survival were analyzed.Nomogram prediction models were constructed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify risk factors for metastasis of colorectal cancer.The accuracy of the nomogram was validated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and calibration curve,and the clinical predictive efficacy was evaluated through decision curve and clinical impact curve.Results Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that pan-immune-inflammatory value(PIV),prognostic nutritional index(PNI),and bile acid(BA)were independent predictors of colorectal cancer metastasis.The area under the ROC curve of the combined prediction of metastasis was 0.84;neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and BA were independent predictors of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer.The area under the ROC curve of the combined prediction of liver metastasis was 0.83;PIV and PNI were independent predictive factors for the occurrence of non-liver distant metastasis from colorectal cancer.The area under the ROC curve for the combined prediction of non-liver distant metastasis was 0.83.The calibration curve,decision curve,and clinical impact curve showed that the three models had good accuracy and net benefit value.Conclusion The nomogram constructed based on immune inflammation and liver function hematological indicators can predict the metastasis of patients with colorectal cancer and has high predictive efficacy and clinical application prospects.
