OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of deucravacitinib in the treatment of moderate- to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS Rapid health technology assessment （HTA） reports， systematic reviews （SR）/meta- analyses， and pharmacoeconomic studies on deucravacitinib for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were identified by searching PubMed， Web of Science， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang data and official HTA websites. The search time frame spanned from database inception to July 2025. After literature screening， data extraction， and quality assessment， the study results were subjected to descriptive analysis and synthesis. RESULTS A total of 14 articles were finally included， consisting of 1 HTA report， 10 SR/meta-analyses， and 3 pharmacoeconomic studies. Regarding efficacy， deucravacitinib demonstrated superior efficacy to both placebo and apremilast， with significantly higher response rates for Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 50/75/90/100， Static Physician’ s Global Assessment 0/1， and Dermatology Life Quality Index 0/1， as well as greater reduction in Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary Score （P＜0.05）. Regarding safety， deucravacitinib was well-tolerated. Although the overall incidence of adverse events （AEs） was higher than placebo， it was not significantly different from apremilast. Moreover， the incidence of serious AEs and the rate of discontinuation due to AEs did not differ significantly from placebo （P＞0.05）. Regarding cost-effectiveness， deucravacitinib proved to be more cost-effective than apremilast across multiple healthcare system perspectives， including those of the United States， Japan， and China. CONCLUSIONS Deucravacitinib exhibits favorable efficacy， safety， and cost-effectiveness in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Additional real-world studies are warranted to further refine its evaluation.

To explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and integrative TCM-Western medicine approaches in the treatment of diabetic microvascular complications （DMC）， refine key pathophysiological insights and treatment principles， and promote academic innovation and strategic research planning in the prevention and treatment of DMC. The 38th session of the Expert Salon on Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine， hosted by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， was held in Beijing， 2024. Experts in TCM， Western medicine， and interdisciplinary fields convened to conduct a systematic discussion on the pathogenesis， diagnostic and treatment challenges， and mechanism research related to DMC， ultimately forming a consensus on key directions. Four major research recommendations were proposed. The first is addressing clinical bottlenecks in the prevention and control of DMC by optimizing TCM-based evidence evaluation systems. The second is refining TCM core pathogenesis across DMC stages and establishing corresponding "disease-pattern-time" framework. The third is innovating mechanism research strategies to facilitate a shift from holistic regulation to targeted intervention in TCM. The fourth is advancing interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the role of TCM in new drug development， research prioritization， and guideline formulation. TCM and integrative approaches offer distinct advantages in managing DMC. With a focus on the diseases responding specifically to TCM， strengthening evidence-based support and mechanism interpretation and promoting the integration of clinical care and research innovation will provide strong momentum for the modernization of TCM and the advancement of national health strategies.

Ovarian cancer （OC） is one of the most common malignant tumors in women， with the mortality rate being the highest among gynaecological malignant tumors. As the atypical symptoms of OC are difficult to be detected in the early stage， most patients are already in the advanced stage when being diagnosed. As a result， the clinical treatment has limited effects. Currently， the main therapies for OC are surgery and chemotherapy， while their drug resistance and adverse reactions seriously reduce the quality of life of patients. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has attracted the attention of clinicians and researchers because of its high efficacy， low toxicity， and mild side effects. According to the TCM philosophy of treatment based on syndrome differentiation， the Chinese medicines with multiple targets， wide range， and mild side effects can be screened based on the molecular targets involved in the occurrence and development of OC， which can bring out the unique advantages of TCM in the treatment of OC. Modern studies have shown that the occurrence and development of OC are closely related to the abnormal expression of multiple signaling pathways. The continued abnormal activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） signaling pathway can lead to abnormal proliferation and malignancy of OC. cause abnormal proliferation and malignant transformation of OC， which is closely related to the development of OC. In addition， studies have shown that Chinese medicine can inhibit the proliferation， angiogenesis， invasion， and metastasis and promote the autophagy and apoptosis of OC cells by regulating the Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）/STAT3 signaling pathway， providing new therapeutic strategies and ideas for the prevention and treatment of OC. This paper summarizes the role of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in OC development by reviewing the relevant articles and reviews the mechanism and research progress of active components and compound prescriptions of Chinese medicine intervening in OC development by regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. This review is expected to provide a systematic reference for clinical research and drug development of OC.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of diagnosis and treatment guidelines and expert consensuses on childhood immune thrombocytopenic purpura （ITP） published domestically and internationally， in order to provide reference for clinical practice and future guideline/expert consensus development and improvement. METHODS A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases， including PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang data， VIP， CBM； additionally， supplementary searches were carried out on websites such as Medlive， the Chinese Medical Association’s official website， and National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in the UK. The retrieval time ranged from the inception to September 2， 2024. Researchers who had undergone systematic training independently evaluated the methodology and report quality included in the guideline/consensus using the Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation Ⅱ （AGREE Ⅱ） and the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare （RIGHT）. RESULTS A total of 11 guidelines/consensuses were included. The average scores for the six domains of AGREE Ⅱ tool respectively were “range and purpose” （[ 66.67±17.98）% ]， “participants” [58.33% （13.89%，73.61%）]， “rigor” （[ 41.81±23.85）% ]， “clarity”（[ 69.57±19.35）%]， “applicability” （[ 35.98±17.83）%]， and “independence” [27.08% （0，75.00%）]； out of 11 articles， 9 had a recommendation level of B， 2 had a recommendation level of C， and there were no A-level articles. The average reporting rates of the 7 areas in the RIGHT tool were “basic information” （[ 72.35±12.95）% ]， “background” （[ 54.55±15.40）%]，“ evidence” （[ 36.36±24.81）%]，“ recommended opinions” （[ 53.25±19.20）%]，“ review and quality assurance” [0 （0， 25.00%）]， “funding and conflict of interest statement and management” [12.50%（0，25.00%）]， and other aspects [8.33%（0， 50.00%）]. In addition， there was no statistically significant difference in the AGREE Ⅱ and RIGHT scores between the guidelines and consensuses （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The overall quality of the guidelines and consensuses included in this study is not high， with a recommended level of B or C. It is recommended that clinical decision-making prioritize referring to the relatively high-quality guideline/consensus among them. The quality of evidence in the existing traditional Chinese medicine guidelines for children with ITP needs to be improved， and there is no integrated guideline/consensus for traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is recommended to revise or write relevant guideline/consensus according to the requirements of AGREE Ⅱ and RIGHT in various fields to guide clinical practice.

This paper summarizes Professor WANG Xiuxia's clinical experience in treating hyperprolactinemia using the liver soothing therapy. Professor WANG identifies liver qi stagnation and rebellious chong qi （冲气） as the core pathomechanisms of hyperprolactinemia. Furthermore， liver qi stagnation may transform into fire or lead to pathological changes such as spleen deficiency with phlegm obstruction or kidney deficiency with essence depletion. The treatment strategy centers on soothing the liver， with a modified version of Qinggan Jieyu Decoction （清肝解郁汤） as the base formula. Depending on different syndrome patterns such as liver stagnation transforming into fire， liver stagnation with spleen deficiency， or liver stagnation with kidney deficiency， heat clearing， spleen strengthening， or kidney tonifying herbs are added accordingly. In addition， three paired herb combinations are commonly used for symptom specific treatment， Danggui （Angelica sinensis） with Chuanxiong （Ligusticum chuanxiong）， Zelan （Lycopus lucidus） with Yimucao （Leonurus japonicus） ， and Jiegeng （Platycodon grandiflorus） with Zisu （Perilla frutescens）.

ObjectiveTo investigate the awareness and clinical practice of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B （2022 edition） among clinicians. MethodsFrom July 19 to December 31， 2024， a self-designed electronic questionnaire was distributed via the WeChat mini program to collect related data from 1 588 clinicians nationwide， including their awareness and practice based on 18 questions regarding testing and referral， diagnosis and treatment， and follow-up. ResultsAmong all respondents， only 350 clinicians correctly understood all the updated key points of antiviral indications and treatment for special populations in the 2022 edition of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B， with an overall awareness rate of 22.0%. Only 20% ‍—‍ ‍40% of the patients with positive HBV DNA and an age of >30 years receive antiviral therapy， while 80% ‍—‍ ‍100% of the patients with positive HBV DNA and a family history of hepatitis B cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma receive antiviral therapy. The median follow-up rates at 1 year， 3 years， and 5 years were 67.5% 57.5% and 47.5%，respectively， showing a trend of gradual reduction， which might be associated with the influencing factors such as insufficient time for follow-up management by clinicians， insufficient awareness of the disease among patients， and poor adherence to follow-up. ConclusionThere is a gap between the awareness and practice of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B （2022 edition） among clinicians. It is recommended to further strengthen training and focus on the whole process of “detection， diagnosis， treatment， and management” for patients with chronic hepatitis B in healthcare institutions， in order to promote the implementation of the guidelines.

With the widespread use of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacterial infections have become a significant threat to human health. Finding new antibacterial strategies that can effectively control drug-resistant bacterial infections has become an urgent task. Unlike small molecule drugs that target bacterial proteins, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) can target genes related to bacterial resistance, pathogenesis, growth, reproduction and biofilm formation. By regulating the expression of these genes, ASO can inhibit or kill bacteria, providing a novel approach for the development of antibacterial drugs. To overcome the challenge of delivering antisense oligonucleotide into bacterial cells, various drug delivery systems have been applied in this field, including cell-penetrating peptides, lipid nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles, which have injected new momentum into the development of antisense oligonucleotide in the antibacterial realm. This review summarizes the current development of small nucleic acid drugs, the antibacterial mechanisms, targets, sequences and delivery vectors of antisense oligonucleotide, providing a reference for the research and development of antisense oligonucleotide in the treatment of bacterial infections.

In recent years, cancer treatment methods and means are becoming more and more diversified, and single treatment methods often have limited efficacy, while the synergistic effect of immunity combined with chemotherapy can inhibit tumor growth more effectively. Based on this, we constructed a sodium alginate hydrogel composite system loaded with chemotherapeutic agents and tumor vaccines (named SA-DOX-NA) with a view to the combined use of chemotherapeutic agents and tumor vaccines. Firstly, the tumor vaccine (named NA) degradable under acidic conditions was constructed by in situ polymerization using chicken ovalbumin (OVA), acrylamide (AAM) and 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) monomer. Then a hydrogel composite system SA-DOX-NA co-loaded with chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) and NA was prepared using sodium alginate as a matrix. The results showed that SA-DOX-NA had good in situ gel-forming ability and formed a mesh structure that could realize the co-loading of DOX and NA as well as the slow drug release. The electron microscopy results showed that SA-DOX-NA had good in situ gel-forming ability with good internal connectivity, and the three-dimensional mesh structure could realize the co-loading of DOX and NA as well as the slow drug release. The antitumor and immunomodulatory results showed that SA-DOX-NA both effectively inhibited the growth of tumor cells and efficiently promoted the proliferation and activation of DC2.4 dendritic cells without additional adjuvant. In summary, SA-DOX-NA exerts the dual efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for tumor treatment, and has a good application prospect in local tumor treatment.
