The abnormal accumulation of neutrophil extracellular traps （NETs） can promote the initiation and progression of pancreatic cancer， which is considered a potential therapeutic target for this disease. The Miraculous Pivot·Inquiry About Statement （《灵枢·口问》） have recorded the concept of "defensive qi stagnation". Based on the recognition that the function of defensive qi is similar to the immune function of neutrophils， and combining traditional Chinese medicine theory with clinical practice， it is proposed that the abnormal accumulation of NETs may be a pathological product of "defensive qi stagnation"， with the spleen being the critical site of pathology. Further exploring the application strategy of cleaning spleen and restoring defensive qi method in pancreatic cancer treatment， it is proposed to employ three approaches such as dredging method to eliminate spleen stagnation and inhibit pancreatic cancer proliferation， cleaning method to remove spleen dampness and suppress the inflammatory micro-environment， and tonifying method to strengthen Weiqi and to improve the immune microenvironment， which aims to provide new insights for the clinical treatment of pancreatic cancer with traditional Chinese medicine.

This article combined the pathogenic characteristics of "latent wind" with the theory of collateral diseases to clarify the pathological features of tumor blood vessels， including their active proliferation， high permeabi-lity， and promotion of metastasis. The theory framework of "latent wind in collaterals" as the tumor mechanism was proposed， which suggests that at the site of tumor lesions， the collaterals inherit the nature of latent wind to grow excessively， adopt an open and discharge nature to leak essence， and tumor toxins， characterized by their rapid movement and frequent changes， spread and metastasize， driving the progression of malignant tumors. Focusing on the fundamental pathogenesis of "latent wind in collaterals"， specific clinical treatment principles and methods centered on treating wind are proposed， including regulating qi and dispelling wind， clearing heat and extinguishing wind， unblocking collaterals and expelling wind， and reinforcing healthy qi to calm wind， so as to provide references for enhancing the precision of traditional Chinese medicine in treating malignant tumors.

ObjectiveTo construct an outcome set for clinical evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） for chronic pulmonary heart disease， and to provide consensus outcomes for the evaluation of the clinical effectiveness of TCM for chronic pulmonary heart disease. MethodsWe searched randomised controlled trials of TCM for chronic pulmonary heart disease on China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform （WF）， VIP Chinese Science Journals Database （VIP）， Chinese Biomedical Literature Service Database （SinoMed）， PubMed， Cochrane Library， and Embase. We also searched Chinese Clinical Trial Registry Platform and the U.S. Clinical Trial Registry database to obtain the outcome indicators reported in the clinical research protocols of TCM for chronic pulmonary heart disease. The outcome indicators were also collected through semi-structured interviews of clinicians and patients. Then integrated the outcome indicators collected by the above methods to construct the indicator pool. Through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a consensus conference， the core outcome set for clinical evaluation of TCM for chronic pulmonary heart disease was determined. ResultsAfter screening， there were 1313 literature meeting the criteria， and 595 outcome indicators were extracted， then combined with the outcomes from semi-structured interviews which clinicians and patients concerned， finally an indicator item pool containing 369 outcome indicators were formed. After the initial screening of indicators in the pool by the steering committee， 58 indicators were established into the initial list of indicator entries. In the first round of Delphi survey， the expert coordination coefficient for the results was 0.401， and the Cronbach coefficient was 0.989. A total of 35 indicators that did not meet the criteria ［＜70% of the participants rated the outcome as 7~9 （critical） and the mean of the expert ratings ＜7］ were deleted， and 23 were retained， with 7 new indicators added that were open to supplementation by the experts， resulting in a total of 30 indicators that were included in the second round of Delphi survey. In the second round of Delphi survey， the expert coordination coefficient was 0.303， and the Cronbach coefficient was 0.974， with a total of 7 indicators that did not meet the criteria being deleted， and 21 indicators being retained for the consensus conference. After the consensus meeting， the core outcome set for clinical evaluation of chronic pulmonary heart disease in two major categories， acute exacerbation stage and stable stage， was finally determined， in which there were four indicators in acute exacerbation stage： N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor （NT-proBNP）， blood qi analysis， all-cause mortality rate， and complication rate； and there were eight indicators in the stable stage： pulmonary function index， six-minute walk test distance， New York cardiac function classification， all-cause mortality rate， re-hospitalisation rate， Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test （CAT） score， Short Form 36 Health Survey （SF-36）， and TCM syndrome score. ConclusionThe core outcome sets of TCM clinical evaluation in the acute exacerbation stage and stable stage are constructed， which is helpful to improve the practicability， comparability and transparency of TCM clinical research results in pulmonary heart disease.

Jansen-de Vries syndrome, also known as intellectual developmental disorder with gastrointestinal difficulties and high pain threshold, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multisystem involvement. This article reports the case of a young child who presented with global developmental delay, gastrointestinal dysfunction, intellectual disability, and short stature. Distinct facial features included a broad forehead, low nasal bridge, thin upper lip, and widely spaced and misaligned teeth. Additional phenotypic findings involved small hands and feet, as well as digital anomalies. Through whole-exome sequencing (WES) and copy number variation (CNV) analysis, a pathogenic variant was identified in the PPM1D gene: c.1281G > A (p.Trp427Ter). This report also reviews the current literature on the clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic advances related to this condition, aiming to provide valuable insights for its clinical diagnosis and management.

In recent years， the incidence of pulmonary nodules has kept rising. To give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of pulmonary nodules and identify the breakthrough points of integrating TCM with Western medicine， the China Association of Chinese Medicine organized medical experts in TCM and western medicine to carry out in-depth discussion regarding this disease. The discussion encompassed the modern medical advances， TCM theories of etiology and pathogenesis， the role and advantages of TCM in the whole course management of pulmonary nodules， contents and methods of research on pulmonary nodules， and science popularization work， aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice and scientific research. After discussion， the experts concluded that the occurrence of pulmonary nodules was rooted in the deficiency of the lung and spleen and triggered by phlegm dampness， blood stasis， and Qi stagnation. TCM can treat pulmonary nodules by controlling and reducing nodules， improving physical constitution， ameliorating multi-system nodular diseases， reducing anxiety and avoiding excessive diagnosis and treatment， and serving as an alternative for patients who are unwilling or unfit for surgical treatment. At present， the optimal diagnosis and treatment strategy for pulmonary nodules has not been formed， which needs to be further studied from multiple perspectives such as clinical epidemiology， biology， and evidence-based medicine. The primary task of current research is to find out the advantages， effective prescriptions， and target populations and determine the effective outcomes of TCM in the treatment of pulmonary nodules. At the same time， basic research should be carried out to explore the etiology and biological behaviors of pulmonary nodules. The expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules with integrated TCM and Western medicine needs to be continuously revised to guide clinicians to conduct standardized， scientific， and accurate effective diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the consistency of the Chinese three-dimensional anterior visual field analysis system (Scansys), the anterior segment analyzer (Pentacam), the frequency-domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography system (CASIA SS-1000), and a new ultra-high frequency digital ultrasound scanning system (Arcscan Insight100) to measure central vault after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation in myopic eyes with crystalline lenses.Methods:A diagnostic test study was conducted.Fifty-six myopic patients (56 eyes) who underwent ICL V4c implantation from June to December 2019 were included.Scansys, Pentacam, CASIA and Arcscan were used to measure the central vault after surgery.The vault measurements were compared.Correlations between the measurements of the four instruments were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis, and consistency comparisons were analyzed using the Bland-Altman method.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEECKY-2021[13]). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:The central vault measurements by Scansys, Pentacam, CASIA and Arcscan were (481.8±191.6), (476.4±190.6), (619.3±207.5) and (534.0±221.2)μm, respectively, with a statistically significant overall difference ( F=143.301, P<0.001). The vault measurements by Scansys and Pentacam were significantly lower than CASIA and Arcscan, and Arcscan was lower than CASIA, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). There were strong positive correlations in vault measurements between Arcscan and CASIA, Arcscan and Pentacam, Arcscan and Scansys, CASIA and Pentacam, CASIA and Scansys, Pentacam and Scansys ( r=0.982, 0.933, 0.931, 0.942, 0.941, 0.989; all at P<0.001). Intraclass correlation coefficients of vault measurements by Scansys, Pentacam, CASIA and Arcscan were 0.985, 0.975, 0.998, 0.992, respectively.The 95% limits of agreement of vault measurements differences were -170 to 0, 0 to 280, 0 to 280, -110 to 210, -100 to 220 μm, between CASIA and Arcscan, CASIA and Scansys, CASIA and Pentacam, Arcscan and Scansys, Arcscan and Pentacam, respectively, and the maximum absolute value of the difference was beyond the clinically acceptable range, showing poor agreement.The 95% limits of agreement of vault measurement difference was -60 to 50 μm between Scansys and Pentacam, showing a good agreement. Conclusions:The repeatability of the vault after ICL V4c implantation in myopic eyes measured by the four instruments is good.Among them, the vault measurements of Scansys and Pentacam are smaller, showing good consistency, and their results could be substituted for each other.The measurement of CASIA is the largest, followed by Arcscan, which have a large difference from each other, and their results can not be substituted for each other, which should be comprehensively analyzed with the actual situation in clinical work.

Objective:To evaluate the robustness of fully automated adaptive planning for Ethos online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) based on the intelligent optimization engine (IOE).Methods:Clinical data of 11 stage ⅠB cervical cancer patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital between June 2021 and June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Original planning images and iterative cone-beam computed tomography (iCBCT) images of each radiotherapy treatment were acquired, and all patient data were imported into the Ethos simulator. IOE-based 9-field automatic plan generation was performed for 11 patients using Ethos, and the generated plans were sent to online adaptive radiotherapy simulation to obtain each online adaptive radiotherapy plan (273 fractions in total) and complete the simulated treatment. For comparison, manual plan design was performed based on the images and contoured structures used for online adaptive radiotherapy planning, and the manually plans created with evenly divided 9 fields. Dosimetric parameters, plan complexity parameters, and Mobius quality assurance (QA) pass rates were collected to compare and evaluate the robustness of the online adaptive radiotherapy plan in terms of organs at risk (OAR), target volume dosimetric parameters, and plan complexity by using paired t-test or rank sum test. Results:The online adaptive plan of cervical cancer had comparable planning target volume (PTV) coverage compared to the manual plan. For the clinical target volume (CTV) D 99%, online adaptive plan was significantly higher than the manual plan [(45.93±0.36) vs. (45.32±0.31) Gy, P<0.001]. For hot dose area, the maximum point dose (PTV D max) of adaptive plan was significantly higher than the manual plan [(49.89±1.25) vs. (48.48±0.77) Gy, P<0.001], but the PTV D 1% of adaptive plan was significantly lower than the manual plan [(47.22±0.29) vs. (47.59±0.48) Gy, P<0.001]. There was no statistical difference in the conformal index ( P=0.967). And there was significant difference in the homogeneity index, with same medians and less dispersion in adaptive plan ( P<0.001). For OAR dose, bladder D mean, rectal V 40 Gy, small intestine D mean of adaptive plan was slightly higher than that of the manual plan; the rectal D mean, small intestine D 2 cm3 of the adaptive plan was slightly lower than that of manual plan; dosimetric parameters of right and left femoral heads, spinal cord and bone marrow of the adaptive plan were better than those of manual plan. The adaptive plan had more monitor units (MU) than the manual plan, but the complexity of the adaptive plan was significantly lower than that of the manual plan (0.135±0.012 vs. 0.151±0.015, P<0.001). For Mobius γ pass rate (5%/3 mm), both adaptive and manual plans met clinical requirements. Conclusion:Ethos cervical cancer online adaptive plan, which is based on the IOE engine, demonstrates good robustness and ensures the quality of online adaptive plans generated for each treatment fraction.

Objective:To evaluate the automatic optimization performance and clinical feasibility of the intelligent optimization engine (IOE) in the Ethos online adaptive radiotherapy platform.Methods:Clinical data of 11 patients with postoperative cervical cancer treated with Halcyon accelerator were retrospectively analyzed. Manual planning was performed for all patients using the 4 full arc volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) (Manual-4Arc) in Eclipse, with a prescription dose of 45 Gy/25F. Patient images and structures were imported into the Ethos simulator, and appropriate clinical goals were added based on clinical requirements. The target coverage was normalized to 95%. Automatic plan generation was conducted using IOE, resulting in 7, 9, and 12 field intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans (IMRT-7F、IMRT-9F、IMRT-12F), as well as 2 and 3 arc VMAT plans (VMAT-2Arc、VMAT-3Arc). Dosimetric index comparisons were made between the Manual-4Arc plans and the 5 groups of IOE-generated plans through one-way analysis of variance. Based on the analysis results, Turky post hoc multiple comparisons were performed to evaluate the automatic optimization performance of IOE.Results:In terms of the high dose area, the IMRT-12F plans showed the lowest D 1% for the planning target volume (PTV), and there were significant differences compared to the Manual-4Arc plans ( P=0.004). Regarding target coverage, all groups produced clinical target volume (CTV) plans that met the clinical requirements. Although the Ethos online adaptive plans were normalized during planning, the PTV coverage was slightly insufficient. For organs at risk (OAR) close to the target, such as the bladder, there were significant differences in V 30 Gy, V 40 Gy, and D mean among the 6 groups of plans. The dose ranking for the bladder was generally as follows: IMRT-12F

This study was performed to explore the effects of berberine(BBR)and berbamine(BA)on the apoptosis and activity of eosinophils,and to provide new ideas for the treatment of eosinophil-related diseases.Anticoagulated whole blood was taken from hospitalized patients,and eosinophils were purified by magnetic bead sorting technology,and the cell purification rate was compared by using flow cytometry.The purified eosinophils were cultured and stimulated with different concentrations of BBR and BA,and the apoptosis of eosinophils was observed using immunofluorescence microscopy.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate,reactive oxygen species(ROS)release,mitochondrial membrane potential,and CD11b,CD62L and CD63 molecular expression of eosinophils.Data showed that 10 μmol/L BBR displayed significant anti-apoptosis effect on eosinophils at 18 h,24 h,48 h,however,100 μmol/L and 150 μmol/L BBR displayed significant apoptosis-promoting effects on eosinophils at 24 h,48 h,especially in the early stage.BA at 5 μmol/L,15 μmol/L and 25 μmol/L showed significant apoptosis-promoting effects on eosinophils at 24 h,48 h,especially in the late stage.In eosinophils,BA stimulated the production of ROS and the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential in a concentration-dependent manner,reaching the maximum effect at 25 μmol/L,while BBR stimulation did not change mitochondria and ROS.Pretreatment with 25 μmol/L BA significantly inhibited the increase of CD11b expression and the decrease of CD62L expression in eosinophils after eotaxin-2 stimulation.In conclusion,berberine has a bidirectional regulatory effect on the quantity of eosinophils,while berbamine promotes eosinophil apoptosis and inhibits eosinophil activation.Both compounds hold significant potential for regulating the progression of eosinophil-associated diseases,and their regulatory mechanisms need further investigation.
