ObjectiveStarting from the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies of endometriosis and adenomyosis, to integrate and sort out the academic characteristics of contemporary renowned experts and schools in the field of traditional Chinese medicine gynecology. MethodsAccording to the systematic review of text and opinion (SrTO) process developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) in Australia, this paper determined literature screening criteria by searching China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, Wanfang, and China Biomedical Literature Database. Information was extracted after literature screening, and quality evaluation was conducted using the JBI Narrative, Text, and Opinion Systematic Review Strict Evaluation Checklist. The JBI Narrative, Opinion, Text Evaluation, and Review Tool Summary Table was used for information synthesis, and data analysis and display were conducted in the form of text and charts. ResultsThe 146 articles related to 39 renowned experts and 19 articles related to 10 schools of thought were included. Research has found that contemporary experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology consider blood stasis as the core pathogenesis in understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of two diseases and related infertility. Their viewpoints varied from multiple aspects such as clinical symptom characteristics, meridian circulation location, pathological product evolution, disease duration, emotional psychology, lifestyle habits, preference for food and drink, innate endowment, and acquired injury. In terms of treatment, it was advocated to divide the stage, treat according to different types, adapt to the times, integrate nature and humans, and combine multiple methods to treat comprehensively when necessary. It was also recommended to skillfully use insects, make good use of classic formulas and small prescriptions, pay attention to protecting the spleen and stomach and regulating emotions, and make good use of self-formulated empirical formulas for internal or external use. Besides, individualized long-term management of patients was also advocated. ConclusionThis study applies the SrTO process to systematically summarize the academic ideas of contemporary renowned experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology regarding the causes, mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatments of endometriosis, providing a scientific and standardized reference for future theoretical exploration.

OBJECTIVE To review the current research progress on pharmacoeconomics evaluation related to spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), in order to provide valuable insights for clinical treatment, screening and medical insurance payment decision- making. METHODS A computerized search was conducted across multiple databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, EBSCOhost, CNKI, VIP, CBM and Wanfang database as well as other important health technology assessment (HTA) websites, such as National Institute for Health and Care Research,International Society of Technology Assessment in Health Care, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, etc. The pharmacoeconomics evaluation studies related to SMA were collected from the inception to December 31st, 2023. The literature/reports were rigorously screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria by two researchers, and the essential information from the included literature/ reports was extracted using Excel 2019. The quality of the included literature/reports was evaluated by Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards 2022. RESULTS Finally, 9 articles and 15 HTA reports were included, with overall good quality of literature, but poor quality of HTA reports. There were a total of 24 studies on the pharmacoeconomics evaluation of SMA, including treatment options such as nusinersen sodium, sovaprevir, risperidone, and best supportive therapy.The review results showed that nusinersen sodium was not cost-effective in the treatment of SMA; there was no consensus on the economic viability of treatment options such as risperidone and sovaprevir; newborn/prenatal screening combined withmedication therapy was cost-effective. CONCLUSIONS newborn/prenatal screening combined with SMA medication therapy demonstrates economic advantages. It is suggested to further investigate the cost-effectiveness of new SMA drugs and SMA screening in China, taking localization parameters and medical insurance prices into account, and gradually incorporate SMA screening into the scope of neonatal genetic disease detection, in order to alleviate the financial burden of patients’ families and healthcare systems.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and molecular characteristics of β-catenin-deficient colorectal cancer.Methods:The clinical, pathological and molecular features of 11 colorectal cancers with β-catenin protein loss diagnosed at the 960th Hospital of People′s Liberation Army of China, from January 2012 to November 2022 were analyzed.Results:Among the 11 patients, 3 were males and 8 were females. Their age ranged from 43 to 74 years, with the median age of 59 years. Six were in the left colon and 5 were in the right colon. One of the 11 cases had lymph node metastasis, 10 cases were well and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, and 1 was mucinous adenocarcinoma. Eight cases were of TNM stage T4, 2 of T1 stage and 1 of Tis stage. β-catenin protein was not detected using immunohistochemistry. Sanger sequencing revealed the presence of fragment-deletion mutation in exon 3 of CTNNB1 gene, resulting in loss of β-catenin protein expression.Conclusion:β-catenin deficiency is present in a small number of colorectal cancers and may be associated with exon 3 mutations of CTNNB1 gene.
9.Research progress of piRNA as a biomarker for male infertility
Chinese Journal of Medical Genetics 2024;41(4):500-505
piRNA is a class of small non-coding RNA which specifically binds with PIWI protein. It is mainly expressed in germ cells and involved in the regulation of spermatogenesis. The role of piRNA pathway in the regulation of spermatogenesis mainly includes inhibition of transposons, induction of mRNA translation or degradation, and mediation of degradation of Miwi ubiquitination in late-stage sperm cells. With the detection of piRNA in seminal plasma, more attention has been attracted to whether piRNA can be used as a non-invasive molecular biomarker for the evaluation of spermatogenesis. This paper has reviewed recent studies on the mechanism of piRNA pathways mediating spermatogenesis and potential roles of piRNA disorders in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of preoperative blood inflammatory markers for the recurrence risk in patients with basal cell carcinoma(BCC).Methods A total of 225 patients with BCC were divided into the high-risk recurrence group(155 cases)and the low-risk recurrence group(70 cases).General information and preoperative hematological indicators were collected in the two groups of patients.The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio(LMR),systemic inflammation marker(SIM)and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR)were calculated.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to determine the predictive value of hematological markers with statistically significant differences between the two groups for BCC recurrence and to establish optimal cutoff values.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing BCC recurrence.A multivariate Logistic regression model was established to predict the recurrence risk of BCC.Area under the curve(AUC)and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were used to evaluate the prediction efficiency and goodness-of-fit of the model.Results ROC analysis identified that optimal cutoff values for LMR and SIM were 5.12 and 0.86,respectively.Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that LMR,SIM,ulceration at the primary tumor site,UV exposure and tumor maximum diameter were factors influencing BCC recurrence.Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that SIM≥0.86,tumor maximum diameter≥2.0 cm and UV exposure were risk factors for BCC recurrence,while LMR≥5.12 had a protective effect.The Logistic prediction model for BCC recurrence risk was Logit(P)=-1.598-1.517×LMR+1.323×SIM+2.406×UV exposure+3.465×tumor maximum diameter,with good model fit(P=0.725)and an AUC of 0.869(95%CI:0.822-0.917)for predicting BCC recurrence risk.Conclusion Monitoring preoperative LMR and SIM levels can assist in assessing the risk of recurrence in BCC patients and provide important guidance for clinical decision-making.
