ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome elements in patients with immune-related adverse events （irAEs） associated with malignant tumor immunotherapy and to explore the influencing factors for the occurrence of irAEs. MethodsClinical data were retrospectively collected from malignant tumor patients treated with programmed death-1 （PD-1） inhibitors， including demographic information， tumor history， duration of immunotherapy， occurrence of irAEs， types and grades of irAEs （G1-G5）， and TCM four-diagnostic information. Patients were divided into irAEs group and the non-irAEs group based on the occurrence of irAEs. Propensity score matching （PSM） at a 1∶2 ratio was performed to balance baseline characteristics between groups. Syndrome elements before treatment and cumulative contributions of syndrome elements before and after irAEs onset were evaluated using the "Syndrome Elements Differentiation Scale". Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with the occurrence of irAEs. The use of glucocorticoids in the irAEs group was also analyzed. ResultsAfter 1∶2 matching， 59 patients were included in the irAEs group and 118 were in the non-irAEs group. No statistically significant differences were found between groups in terms of age， gender， primary tumor site， pathological type， or tumor stage （P＞0.05）. Patients in the non-irAEs group were more likely to have received targeted therapy， while the irAEs group had a longer duration of immunotherapy and a higher rate of positive programmed death-ligand 1 （PD-L1） expression （P＜0.05）. In total， 72 irAEs events occurred among 59 patients， with an overall incidence rate of 19.4% （59/304） and a grade 3~5 incidence rate of 6.8% （4/59）， mainly presenting as cardiotoxicity， nephrotoxicity， and pneumotoxicity.Before immunotherapy， the top three syndrome elements in the irAEs group were spleen （71.2%， 42/59）， kidney （42.4%， 25/59）， and lung （39.0%， 23/59）. For the pathogenic nature elements， yin deficiency （52.5%， 31/59）， phlegm （40.7%， 24/59）， and dampness （35.6%， 21/59） ranked highest. Compared to the non-irAEs group， the distribution of spleen， kidney， liver， yin deficiency， and qi deficiency elements showed significant differences in the irAEs group （P＜0.05）. After the occurrence of irAEs， the cumulative contributions of spleen， lung， stomach， heart， yin deficiency， qi deficiency， and yang hyperactivity elements increased significantly （P＜0.05）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that duration of immunotherapy， spleen syndrome element， kidney syndrome element， liver syndrome element， yin deficiency element， and qi deficiency element were independent risk factors for irAEs （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Among the irAEs patients， 15 received glucocorticoid combined with TCM treatment， while 6 received glucocorticoid therapy alone. Patients receiving combined treatment required lower doses and shorter courses of glucocorticoids compared to those treated with glucocorticoids alone （P＜0.05）. ConclusionIn malignant tumor patients， spleen， kidney， lung， yin deficiency， phlegm， dampness， and qi deficiency are the predominant syndrome elements before and after the occurrence of irAEs. However， elements such as heat and qi stagnation significantly increase after irAEs onset. Duration of immunotherapy， spleen， kidney， liver syndrome elements， yin deficiency， and qi deficiency are independent risk factors for the development of irAEs.

Aromatherapy refers to the method of using the aromatic components of plants in appropriate forms to act on the entire body or a specific area to prevent and treat diseases. Essential oils used in aromatherapy are hydrophobic liquids containing volatile aromatic molecules， such as limonene， linalool， linalool acetate， geraniol， and citronellol. These chemicals have been extensively studied and shown to have a variety of functions， including reducing anxiety， relieving depression， promoting sleep， and providing pain relief. Terpenoids are a class of organic molecules with relatively low lipid solubility. After being inhaled， they can pass through the nasal mucosa for transfer or penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream upon local application. Some of these substances also have the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier， thereby exerting effects on the central nervous system. Currently， the academic community generally agrees that products such as essential oils and aromatherapy from aromatic plants have certain health benefits. However， the process of extracting a single component from it and successfully developing it into a drug still faces many challenges. Its safety and efficacy still need to be further verified through more rigorous and systematic experiments. This article systematically elaborated on the efficacy of aromatic substances， including plant extracts and natural small molecule compounds， in antibacterial and antiviral fields and the regulation of nervous system activity. As a result， a deeper understanding of aromatherapy was achieved. At the same time， the potential of these aromatic substances for drug development was thoroughly explored， providing important references and insights for possible future drug research and application.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Youguiwan on bone metabolism and bone morphogenetic protein-2 （BMP-2）/Smad signaling pathway in ovaries-removed rats with osteoporosis and study the mechanism of Youguiwan in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. MethodA postmenopausal rat model of osteoporosis was prepared by bilateral ovariectomy. The 40 female SD rats were randomly divided into five groups， including sham operation group， model group， alendronate sodium group （0.1 mg·kg^-1）， and high-dose and low-dose （5.36 and 2.68 g·kg^-1） groups of Youguiwan. The drug was given seven days after modeling， once a day for 12 weeks. After the treatment， the changes in femur tissue structure were observed by micro-CT， including bone mineral density （BMD）， bone volume/total volume （BV/TV）， trabecular number （Tb.N）， trabecular thickness （Tb.Th）， bone surface/bone volume （BS/BV）， and trabecular separation （Tb.Sp）. Ossification was observed by saffrane-solid green staining， and serum levels of bone metabolism markers， including bone alkaline phosphatase （BALP）， osteocalcin （BGP）， type Ⅰ procollagen amino terminal propeptide （PINP）， and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b （TRACP-5b）， were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The protein and mRNA expression levels of Runx2， BMP-2， and Smad1 in rat femur were detected by Western blot and Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultCompared with the sham operation group， bone trabecula in the model group was sparse. BMD， BV/TV， Tb.N， and Tb.Th were decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. BS/BV （P<0.05） and Tb.Sp were increased. The content of BGP， BALP， PINP， and TRACP-5b in serum was significantly increased （P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein expressions of Runx2， BMP-2， and Smad1 in rat femur were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the number of bone trabeculae in the high-dose and low-dose groups of Youguiwan was increased， and the bone microstructure was improved. BMD， BV/TV， Tb.N， and Tb.Th were increased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and BS/BV and Tb.Sp were increased. The content of bone metabolic markers decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionYouguiwan has certain preventive and therapeutic effects on postmenopausal osteoporosis， and its mechanism may be related to promoting bone formation by regulating the BMP-2/Smad signaling pathway.

Objective:The preliminary results was reported regarding the treatment of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fixation in the last decade, especially preventing recurrence of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fan-shaped fixation.Methods:We selected 12 patients who received emergency operation in Chongqing Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from December 2010 to March 2022. All of them were made a definite diagnose of mesenteric torsion by the preoperative CT scan or exploratory laparotomy. The recurrence of mesenteric torsion will be prevented by taking the operation of mesenteric fan-shaped fixation. This technique is suitable for the patient who is suffering total mesenteric torsion, but enteric necrosis is excluded affirmatively. The operation is consists of the following progress: (1) Exploratory laparotomy to check for necrosis of the bowel and for lesions other than torsion. (2) Mesenteric torsion derotation.(3) Mesenteric linear fixation; the right posterior lower border of the small mesentery (terminal ileal mesentery) is intermittently sutured to the posterior peritoneum of the right lower quadrant to increase the width of the base of the small mesentery. (4) Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation, which is fan-shaped to the lower left and fixed in the posterior peritoneum, shortening the length of the mesentery and further increasing the width of the mesentery and posterior peritoneal fixation.Results:A total of 12 patients with mesenteric torsion were treated by operation for 15 times in all. Among them, 3 cases received resection of most small bowel were performed without recurrence; 3 patients received only derotation for a total of 4 times, 2 cases recurred, 1 of them recurred twice; 4 cases underwent derotation and mesenteric linear fixation,and 1 case recurred. Four patients with derotation and mesenteric fan-shaped fixation recovered well without recurrence.Conclusion:Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation may be an effective operative type to reduce or avoid postoperative recurrence of mesenteric torsion.

The surgical treatment of colorectal cancer will be more and more accurate and minimally invasive under the guidance of precision medicine. At the same time, it will derive and evolve non-surgical paths, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and immune targeted therapy for microsatellite instability high/mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer, and wait and watch path after neoadjuvant treatment for low advanced rectal cancer. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer will be gradually iterated by robots, which is the only way to intelligent surgery.

Objective To explore the value of dynamic ultrasound combined with 3.0T MRI for diagnosing and typing synovial plica of knee joint.Methods Dynamic ultrasound and 3.0T MRI data of 100 patients with suspected synovial plica of knee joint were retrospectively analyzed.Taking the results of arthroscopy as standards,the efficacy of dynamic ultrasound and 3.0T MRI alone and their combination for diagnosing synovial plica of knee joint were evaluated and compared.The length and thickness of synovial plica of knee joint measured with dynamic ultrasound,3.0T MRI alone and their combination were compared with those of arthroscopy,and the consistencies of the location and classification of synovial plica of knee joint with arthroscopy were analyzed.Results Synovial plica was detected in 70 cases,including 11 cases of supropatellar synovial plica,15 cases of infrapatellar synovial plica,medial patellar in 30 cases and lateral patellar synovial plica in 14 cases,among them type A,B,C and D were classified in 9,35,23 and 3 cases,respectively.No significant difference of sensitivity was found between dynamic ultrasound and 3.0T MRI alone for diagnosing synovial plica of knee joint(P＞0.05),which were both lower than that of their combination(both P＜0.05).The length and thickness of knee synovial plica measured with dynamic ultrasound and 3.0T MRI alone were lower than those measured with their combination and arthroscopy(all P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between the results of their combination and arthroscopy(both P＞0.05).Dynamic ultrasound,3.0T MRI alone and their combination had high consistency of location(Kappa=0.755,0.826,0.897)and classification of knee synovial plica with those of arthroscopy(Kappa=0.721,0.744,0.860).Conclusion Dynamic ultrasound combined with 3.0T MRI was valuable for diagnosing and typing of synovial plica of knee joint.

Purpose To explore the diagnostic efficiency of ultrasound(US)combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)in breast lesions and to analyze the related factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy.Materials and Methods From January 2022 to February 2023,the clinical data and ultrasound images of 784 patients who underwent breast US and CEUS examination with definite pathological results were retrospectively collected in the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital.The diagnostic efficacy of US combined with CEUS in benign and malignant breast lesions was analyzed,respectively.The independent risk factors for diagnostic errors were analyzed via Logistic regression.Results The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of US combined with CEUS in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions were 89.2%,84.4%and 88.7%,respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.932.The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the diagnosis error rate increased when the lesions were non-mass type(odds ratio,OR=1.927,P=0.047),complex cystic and solid(OR=3.729,P=0.000),and high-enhanced CEUS(OR=1.937,P=0.023),while the diagnosis error rate decreased when the lesions were large(OR=0.688,P=0.004)and with US-detect suspicious lymph node(OR=0.143,P=0.011).Conclusion When the breast lesions are non-mass type,complex cystic and solid lesions and hyper-enhancement,the diagnosis error rate of US combined with CEUS increased.It is necessary to further explore the enhancement patterns of different lesions.

Purpose To explore the correlation between phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/serine-threonine kinase(PI3K/AKT)signaling pathway and elastic characteristics of breast lesions.Materials and Methods A total of 115 breast lesions were prospectively analyzed in 114 patients who underwent surgery from May 2021 to May 2022 at Chinese PLA General Hospital.Ultrasound and shear wave elastography were performed preoperatively.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of PI3K/AKT protein levels in the tissue specimens,and the correlation between the staining results and the elastic parameters of shear wave elastography was analyzed.Results Surgical pathology revealed benign breast lesions in 50 cases and malignant lesions in 65 cases(25 cases with axillary lymph node metastasis).The maximum modulus of elasticity(F=40.47),the average modulus of elasticity(F=45.11),the ratio of elasticity of the lesion to that of the surrounding tissue(F=48.98),the detection rate of"hard ring sign"(χ2=62.25),the expression level of PI3K/p-PI3K(F=15.19,58.95)and AKT/p-AKT(F=46.94,74.21)were found in benign and malignant lesions without axillary lymph node metastasis,malignant lesions with axillary lymph node metastasis(all P<0.05).The expression levels of PI3K/p-PI3K and AKT/p-AKT were positively correlated with the maximum elastic modulus value,the mean elastic modulus value,and the ratio of elasticity of the lesion to the surrounding tissues(r=0.475,0.475,0.451;r=0.533,0.540,0.542;r=0.371,0.402,0.445;r=0.482,0.455,0.545,all P<0.05).Conclusion The expression level of PI3K/AKT in breast lesions is correlated with elastic characteristics,suggesting that it plays an important role in the regulation of elastic characteristics of breast lesions.
