The classical prescription Yangweitang， derived from Zhengzhi Zhunsheng， is specialized in treating syndromes of chill and fever due to exogenous pathogens， inner-cooling， and malaria， and it has been included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas （the First Batch） published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） in 2018. Through bibliographical research， the relevant ancient books and modern documents were systematically sorted out， and it was found that there were many prescriptions related to the Yangweitang from Zhengzhi Zhunsheng. They were interwoven with Yangweitang from Zhengzhi Zhunsheng and widely used in clinical practice. In order to clarify their history and evolution， this paper combed the historical origin of Yangweitang and its related prescriptions and conducted textual analysis on key information such as semantic composition， herb origin， processing method， and efficacy. A total of 896 pieces of data on Yangweitang from Zhengzhi Zhunsheng were collected. 26 pieces of effective data were included after the screening， involving 17 ancient TCM books. Then， a total of 28 pieces of data on prescriptions related to the Yangweitang from Zhengzhi Zhunsheng were included， involving 23 ancient TCM books for reference. The textual analysis showed that Yangweitang originated from the Renshen Yangweitang recorded in Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang in the Song dynasty. Based on the original formula， medical experts from later generations have modified it into many different versions. A comparative analysis showed that Yangweitang from different generations had similar compositions， and the herb origin and processing method were basically clear. The recommended prescriptions are as follows： 37.3 g of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum Cum Alumine， Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex（fried with ginger juice）， and frying with rice water Atractlodis Rhizoma， 27.98 g of Citri Exocarpium Rubrum， 18.65 g of Pogostemon cablin leaf， Tsaoko Fructus， Poria， and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma， and 9.33 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. They could be ground into a coarse powder， with 14.92 g for every dose， and they could be orally taken after being decocted with 450 mL of water， 7 g of fresh ginger， and 2 g of Mume Fructus to 270 mL in warm conditions. Yangweitang from Zhengzhi Zhunsheng has the effect of warming the middle and releasing the external， and it can treat many syndromes including spleen and stomach disharmony caused by chill and fever due to exogenous pathogens and inner-cooling， as well as all kinds of malaria. Modern clinical applications mainly focus on chronic atrophic gastritis and other digestive system diseases.

Objective:To analyze the failure mode after immunotherapy and the prognostic significance of combined radiotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:Clinical data of 220 advanced NSCLC patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) as the first-line therapy in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The baseline characteristics, the first-line treatment regimen, modes and locations of failure, radiotherapy purpose, location and prescription dose of all patients were collected. The main parameter was the overall survival (OS). Survival analysis was conducted by Kaplan-Meier method. Survival comparison was performed by log-rank test.Results:A total of 220 patients were enrolled in the study in which 65 cases (29.5%) exhibited a state of oligometastasis. Among 72 patients who received radiotherapy, 29 cases (40%) received chest radiotherapy and 53 cases (74%) received metastatic radiotherapy. The median follow-up time was 25.6 months. Up to the last follow-up, disease progression had been observed in 140 patients, with 84 patients (38.2%) of them demonstrating a state of oligometastasis. Among 120 patients with disease progression and confirmed location of progression, 62 patients (51.7%) failed in first-line immunotherapy because of the primary lesion progression (mainly in the chest cavity), 34 patients (28.3%) due to the appearance of new metastases, and the remaining 24 patients(20.0%) due to primary lesion progression and new distant metastases. Among 72 patients treated with the first-line immunotherapy combined with local radiotherapy, 17 patients (24%) received planned radiotherapy, another 17 patients (24%) received salvage radiotherapy, and the remaining 38 patients (53%) received radiotherapy to relieve symptoms. The prognosis of patients significantly differed according to the purpose of radiotherapy ( P=0.030). The median OS of patients who did not receive radiotherapy was 29.1 months, those who received planned radiotherapy did not reach the median OS, and the median OS of those who received salvage radiotherapy was 28.7 months, and the median OS of those who received local radiotherapy to relieve symptoms was only 19.0 months. Conclusions:The progression of primary lesions is the main failure mode of the first-line immunotherapy. Chest cavity is the main location of tumor progression. Local radiotherapy for intrathoracic lesions may improve the survival benefit further for advanced NSCLC patients after the first-line immunotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the radiation dose and fractionation regimens for limited stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) in Chinese radiation oncologists.Methods:Over 500 radiation oncologists were surveyed through questionnaire for radiation dose and fractionation regimens for LS-SCLC and 216 valid samples were collected for further analysis. All data were collected by online questionnaire designed by WJX software. Data collection and statistical analysis were performed by SPSS 25.0 statistical software. The differences in categorical variables among different groups were analyzed by Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. Results:Among 216 participants, 94.9% preferred early concurrent chemoradiotherapy, 69.4% recommended conventional fractionation, 70.8% preferred a total dose of 60 Gy when delivering conventional radiotherapy and 78.7% recommended 45 Gy when administering hyperfractionated radiotherapy.Conclusions:Despite differences in LS-SCLC treatment plans, most of Chinese radiation oncologists prefer to choose 60 Gy conventional fractionated radiotherapy as the main treatment strategy for LS-SCLC patients. Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO), National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and Chinese Medical Association guidelines or expert consensus play a critical role in guiding treatment decision-making.

Objective:To evaluate the value of whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) combined with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) and WBRT plus sequential stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the treatment of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with brain metastases (BM).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed among 135 SCLC patients with BM who were admitted to Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from 2007 to 2023. They all received cisplatin- or carboplatin-based first-line chemotherapy and WBRT with 94 patients receiving thoracic radiotherapy after chemotherapy. All patients were divided into the WBRT+SIB ( n=66) and WBRT+SRS groups ( n=69) according to the treatment methods. After propensity score matching (PSM), 63 patients were assigned into each group. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and brain metastasis-related local control (BMRLC) rates. Categorical data, such as gender and age, were compared by Chi-square test. OS and BMRLC were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. The survival curves between two groups were compared by log-rank test. The risk factors of OS and BMRLC were assessed by multivariate Cox regression models. Results:In all the patients, the median follow-up time was 24.9 (range 6.30-109.57) months. The 2-year OS and BMRLC rates were 49.0% and 85.0%, respectively. Cerebral necrosis occurred in 2 patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that shorter time interval of BM after diagnosis (≤10 months) ( P=0.041), control of extracranial progression ( P=0.029), and lower diagnosis-specific graded prognostic assessment (DS-GPA) (≥2) ( P=0.006) significantly improved OS. After PSM, the 2-year OS rate in the WBRT+SIB group was significantly higher than that in the WBRT+SRS group ( P=0.041), while the 2-year BMRLC rate was not significantly improved ( P=0.203). In the DS-GPA<2 subgroup, the OS in the WBRT+SIB group was significantly higher than that in the WBRT+SRS group ( P=0.016), whereas no significant difference was observed in BMRLC between two groups ( P=0.205). In the DS-GPA≥2 subgroup, no significant difference was found in OS between two groups ( P=0.266), while BMRLC in the WBRT+SIB group was significantly lower compared with that in the WBRT+SRS group ( P=0.027). Conclusions:WBRT+SIB is more suitable for SCLC patients with BM than WBRT+SRS. However, WBRT+SRS yields higher local control for DS-GPA≥2 patients.

Objective:To explore the potential of dosiomics in predicting the incidence of radiation pneumonitis by extracting dosiomic features of definitive radiotherapy for lung cancer, and building a machine learning model.Methods:The clinical data, dose files of radiotherapy, planning CT and follow-up CT of 314 patients with lung cancer undergoing definitive radiotherapy were collected retrospectively. According to the clinical data and follow-up CT, the radiation pneumonia was graded, and the dosiomic features of the whole lung were extracted to establish a machine learning model. Dosiomic features associated with radiation pneumonia by LASSO-LR with 1000 bootstrap and AIC backward method with 1000 bootstraps were selected. Training cohort and validation cohort were randomly divided on the basis of 7:3.Logistic regression was used to establish the prediction model, and ROC curve and calibration curve were adopted to evaluate the performance of the model.Results:A total of 120 dosiomic features were extracted. After LASSO-LR dimensionality reduction, 12 features were selected into the "feature pool".After AIC, 6 dosiomic features were finally selected for model construction. The AUC of training cohort was 0.77(95% CI: 0.65 to 0.87), and the AUC of validation cohort was 0.72 (95% CI: 0.64 to 0.81). Conclusion:The dosiomics prediction model has the potential to predict the incidence of radiation pneumonia, but it still needs to include multicenter data and prospective data.

Objective:To evaluate whether whole brain radiation therapy(WBRT) could benefit small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with brain metastases.Methods:Clinical data of 245 patients who were diagnosed with extensive stage SCLC with brain metastases admitted to our hospital from 2010 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 168 patients received WRBT (WBRT group, radiation dose: 30Gy in 10 fractions), and 77 patients did not receive WBRT (non-WBRT group). All patients received 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy, and the chemotherapy regimen included cisplatin (or carboplatin) plus etoposide. One hundred and fifteen patients received thoracic radiotherapy. The endpoint was overall survival after brain metastases(BM-OS). Chi-square test was used to compare categorical data, and stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting(sIPTW) was used to match the factors between WBRT and no-WBRT groups. Survival analysis was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was used to compare survival curves between two groups. Results:The median BM-OS for the whole group of patients was 9.1 months, and 10.6 months and 6.7 months in the WBRT and non-WBRT groups, respectively( P=0.003). After balanced influencing factors with stabilized sIPTW, significant difference still existed in BM-OS between two groups( P=0.02). In 118 patients with synchronous brain metastases, the median BM-OS in two groups were 13.0 months and 9.6 months( P=0.007); and in 127 patients with metachronous brain metastases, the median BM-OS were 8.0 months and 4.1 months( P=0.003). In 50 patients without extracranial metastases, the median BM-OS were 13.3 months and 10.9 months( P=0.259)in two groups; while in 195 patients with extracranial metastases, the median BM-OS were 9.5 months and 5.9 months( P=0.009)in two groups. Conclusions:WBRT could prolong the OS in extensive stage SCLC patients with brain metastases.

Objective: To understand the sedentary behavior level of children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities in Jinan City, and to provide a reference basis for developing health behavior intervention strategies. Methods: By used the method of cluster random sampling,the Children s Leisure Activities Study Survey was used to investigate the sedentary behavior level of 285 children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities aged 6-18 years from 7 special education schools in Jinan City. Results: The sedentary behavior time during the whole week among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities in Jinan City was 394.46 min/d, including 378.00 min/d on weekdays(Monday to Friday) and 388.80 min/d on weekends (Saturday and Sunday), the difference was statistically significant ( Z =-2.19, P <0.05). 80.4%(229) of children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities had sedentary behavior time of more than 2 h/d. The sedentary behavior time per day during the whole week among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities was negatively correlated with the amount of time spent in moderate vigorous physical activity among them ( r =-0.16, P <0.05). Conclusion Excessive sedentary behavior has become a growing public health concern among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities,which warrants targeted healthy behavior intervention.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thoracic radiotherapy in the treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) with different metastatic sites.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed among 830 ES-SCLC patients who were admitted to our hospital from 2010 to 2019. They all received the first-line chemotherapy and had no progression after chemotherapy. 341 patients of them received thoracic radiotherapy after chemotherapy. The main endpoint was overall survival. The Chi-square test was used to compare the categorical data including gender and age, etc. Univariate survival analysis was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test was used to compare the survival curves between two groups. A multivariate prognostic analysis was made by the Cox proportional hazard model.Results:In all the patients, the overall survival (OS) was 12.4 months. The patients with thoracic radiotherapy had significantly higher OS than the patients without thoracic radiotherapy (15.2 months vs.10.8 months, P<0.001). Thoracic radiotherapy significantly improved the OS in patients without liver metastasis (16.0 months vs.11.4 months, P<0.001) in the oligometastatic patients. But for the oligometastatic patients with liver metastasis, the OS benefit was not significant (14.2 months vs. 10.6 months, P=0.072). For polymetastatic patients without liver metastasis, thoracic radiotherapy offered significant OS benefits (14.5 months vs.10.9 months, P<0.001), but for the polymetastatic patients with liver metastasis, the OS was not improved with thoracic radiotherapy (10.2 months vs.9.2 months, P=0.715). Conclusions:In ES-SCLC patients, thoracic radiotherapy provides significant OS benefits in patients with oligometastases ES-SCLC without liver metastasis and for the liver metastatic patients may also benefit from thoracic radiotherapy based on the effectiveness of chemotherapy. In patients with multiple metastases, thoracic radiotherapy only improves the OS in patients without liver metastasis, but does not improve the prognosis in patients with liver metastasis.

Objective:To evaluate the 5-year survival outcome of patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with Endostar in combination with platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Methods:From March 2009 to June 2015, 115 patients with the unresectable locally advanced NSCLC from two prospective studies[Clinical trials 2009-2012(ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01894) and 2012-2015(ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01733589)] were treated with Endostar in combination with platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy. A total dose of 60-66 Gy was delivered in 30-33 fractions. Endostar was given 1 week prior to the beginning of radiotherapy, and repeated fortnightly during the concurrent chemoradiotherapy. After long-term follow up, survival outcome was evaluated in 104 patients treated with radiation dose of ≥60 Gy. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Univariate survival analysis was performed using the log-rank test.Results:Of 104 eligible patients, 60.6% of them had squamous carcinoma and 65.4% were classified in stage Ⅲ B. All the patients received ≥2 cycles of Endostar and 93.3% of them received 4 cycles of Endostar. The median follow-up time was 68.3 months. The median overall survival (OS) and median progression-free survival (PFS) were 31.3 and 13.9 months, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year OS were 45.6% and 35.7%, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year PFS were 27.1% and 24.9%, respectively. Univariate analysis indicated that sex, ECOG, pathological type, clinical stage, radiotherapy technique, chemotherapy regimen, chemotherapy cycle and cycle of Endostar use were not associated with OS. Late radiation injury occurred in 14.4% of patients, and no grade 4-5 late injury was observed. Conclusion:Patients with unresectable locally advanced NSCLC treated with Endostar fortnightly in combination with platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy achieve better OS than historical data with tolerable toxicities.

Objective:To investigate the clinical feature, diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune pancreatitis(AIP).Methods:Clinical data of 20 AIP patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from Jan 2014 to Dec 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Nineteen patients were diagnosed with type 1 AIP and 1 patient was with type 2 AIP. Fifteen patients were diagnosed by imaging, serology and other organ involvement, and 5 patients were confirmed by postoperative histopathology. Thirteen patients received glucocorticoid therapy. Five patients have not received glucocorticoid therapy after surgery.One patient refused treatment, and 1 patient is currently under clinical observation. Seventeen of the 20 patients were followed up, 11 patients were on glucocorticoid therapy with related clinical symptoms being gradually improved, serum IgG4 decreased and imaging findings improved. Five patients did not relapse after drug withdrawal. Three patients had recurrence of jaundice after drug withdrawal. One patient had recurrence of pancreatic lesions after drug withdrawal. Two patients had recurrence of high serum IgG4 after tapering the doses, these 6 patients were treated with steroid maintenance therapy. One patient died of repeated gastrointestinal bleeding 2 months later, and another 4 surgical patients and 1 patient under clinical observation are in good condition.Conclusions:AIP should be diagnosed in combination with clinical manifestations, serological examination, imaging examination and histopathology, especially focal lesions should be differentiated from pancreatic cancer, so as to avoid missed diagnosis and unnecessary surgical intervention.
