The historical development of endogenous wind (内风) is traced with time as the thread, based on the progression of factors such as syndromes, causes of disease, and pathogenesis. It is believed that the concept of wind syndrome originated in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), encompassing both exogenous wind (外风) and endogenous wind syndrome. Over time, exogenous wind syndrome gradually evolved into mild syndromes and severe syndromes, while endogenous wind syndrome emerged from severe syndromes of exogenous wind. Endogenous wind syndrome has both syndrome and pathogenic attributes, and its theoretical system has gradually become more refined. Based on the theories of ancient and modern medical practitioners, and combining the holistic perspectives with Xiang (象) thinking, it is proposed that endogenous wind has both physiological and pathological distinctions. The physiological endogenous wind refers to the liver's moderate dispersing and regulating function, which helps to distribute qi (气), blood, and body fluids, while pathological endogenous wind arises from abnormal liver dispersal. Therefore, in clinical practice, different treatment methods, such as tonifying, unblocking, and warming, can be applied according to the differentiation of deficiency and excess in the pathogenesis.

Objective:To prepare a fluorescent probe Cetuximab-IRDye800CW targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and investigate its application value in surgical navigation of glioblastoma (GBM).Methods:The fluorescence properties of Cetuximab-IRDye800CW were determined by fluorescence spectrophotometer. The specificity of Cetuximab-IRDye800CW bound to GBM cells was verified by Western blot. The competitive binding method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to prove whether the probe could achieve tumor targeting by binding to EGFR. Subcutaneous models of 6 nude mice of GBM were divided into experimental group ( n=3; injected with Cetuximab-IRDye800CW) and control group ( n=3; injected with IRDye800CW), and images were obtained at 5 min, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after injection. Differences of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and tumor to background ratio (TBR) between experimental group and control group were compared. In situ models of GBM nude mice were established ( n=6), and MRI and intraoperative navigation were conducted, which were compared with pathological distribution. Independent-sample t test was used to analyze the data. Results:The maximum emission wavelength of Cetuximab-IRDye800CW was 820 nm, which could be received by near infrared fluorescence imaging equipment. Western blot showed that Cetuximab-IRDye800CW was only bound to GBM cells. The competitive binding of ELISA showed that Cetuximab-IRdye800CW could achieve tumor targeting by binding with EGFR. At 5 min, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after injection of fluorescent materials, the MFI values of experimental group were 109.00±3.81, 73.36±9.93, 55.24±8.82, 37.71±6.11, which were higher than those of control group (91.32±4.17, 42.91±5.39, 25.08±6.05, 8.33±1.00; t values: 4.36-9.40, P values: 0.011-0.049). The TBR of experimental group was higher than that of control group at 24 h and 48 h after injection (24 h: 2.40±0.28 vs 1.57±0.07, t=4.94, P=0.039; 48 h: 2.07±0.12 vs 1.22±0.08, t=9.85, P=0.010). GBM in situ model was successfully constructed and verified by MRI, and the tumor was visualized under the fluorescence device navigation. Pathological distribution of the tumor with HE staining was consistent with fluorescence imaging. Conclusion:Cetuximab-IRDye800CW has fluorescence imaging capability and can identify tumor boundaries in intraoperative navigation of GBM, which has potential clinical application value.

Objective:This retrospective, single-center study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, in the management of relapse/refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (R/R cHL) .Methods:A total of 35 patients with R/R cHL who received treatment at the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College from September 2016 to December 2020 were enrolled in this study. Among them, 17 patients received PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor group), while 18 patients received a combination of PD-1 inhibitor and chemotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor + chemotherapy group). Clinical data and follow-up information were retrospectively analyzed, and survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model.Results:The median age of the 35 patients with R/R cHL was 29 years (range: 11-61 years), with 54.3% being male. According to the Ann Arbor staging system, 62.9% of patients presented with advanced (stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ) disease, and 48.6% had extranodal involvement. Before PD-1 inhibitor therapy, the median number of prior lines of therapy was 2 (range: 1-3). Objective responses were observed in 28 patients, including 22 complete response (CR) cases, resulting in an overall response rate (ORR) of 80.0% and a CR rate of 62.9%. Specifically, the ORR and CR rates were 64.7% and 58.8%, respectively, in the PD-1 inhibitor group and 94.4% and 66.7%, respectively, in the PD-1 inhibitor + chemotherapy group. Among the 18 patients who underwent sequential autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) [13 CR and five partial response (PR) cases], eight patients received PD-1 inhibitor therapy after auto-HSCT as consolidation therapy. All patients maintained a CR status after transplantation, and they exhibited significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) rates compared with those who did not undergo sequential auto-HSCT (4-year PFS rates: 100% vs 53.5% ; P=0.041). The incidence of immune-related adverse events was 29%, with only one patient experiencing grade≥3 adverse reactions, which indicated a favorable safety profile for the treatment approach. Conclusions:PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy demonstrates notable efficacy and sustained response in patients with R/R cHL. PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy significantly improve response rates. Additionally, for salvage therapy-sensitive patients, consolidation treatment with PD-1 inhibitors after auto-HSCT exhibits the potential for prolonging PFS.

The CRISPR/Cas9 based prime editing (PE) technique enables all 12 types of base substitutions and precise small DNA deletions or insertions without generating DNA double-strand breaks. Prime editing has been successfully applied in plants and plays important roles in plant precision breeding. Although plant prime editing (PPE) can substantially expand the scope and capabilities of precise genome editing in plants, its editing efficiency still needs to be further improved. Here, we review the development of PPE technique, and introduce structural composition, advantages and limitations of PPE. Strategies to improve the PPE editing efficiency, including the Tm-directed PBS length design, the RT template length, the dual-pegRNA strategy, the PlantPegDesigner website, and the strategies for optimizing the target proteins of PPE, were highlighted. Finally, the prospects of future development and application of PPE were discussed.

Eyelid and surrounding tissue injury caused by trauma, burn, infection and other reasons will lead to different degrees of eyelid ectropion and incomplete eyelid closure after scar formation. At present, surgical treatment is the main treatment for cicatricial ectropion, but there is still the risk of scar formation again after operation. We used early ion beam drug introduction to treat 1 case of cicatricial ectropion after trauma, and achieved satisfactory result.
