		                        			Emphasizing symptom efficacy is an important manifestation of the personalized diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, in current clinical practice of TCM, there are challenges such as diverse symptom expressions, difficulty in standardization, inconsistent evaluation standards for symptom efficacy, lack of universal quantitative methods, and complexity in collecting complete and accurate symptom information. These issues hinder the full and effective utilization of symptom information. Addressing the current research status and existing problems of symptom terminology standardization, quantification and grading of symptom efficacy, and collection of symptom information, this paper proposes methodological strategies for effectively recording and utilizing TCM symptom efficacy information in the era of big data. These strategies include collecting TCM symptom information based on patient reporting, standardizing the evaluation of TCM symptom efficacy from measurement scales and evaluation dimensions, integrating TCM symptom efficacy evaluation into clinical diagnosis and treatment processes, and utilizing artificial intelligence technology to acquire and process TCM symptom efficacy information. TCM symptom efficacy evaluation strategies based on patient perspectives and artificial intelligence technology will help fully explore the value of data elements, promote the objective demonstration of the specific efficacy of TCM, and facilitate the discovery of effective patterns.

		                        			The quality of clinical practice teaching is an important factor affecting the quality of intensive care unit (ICU) specialist nurse training. We investigated the current situation of ICU specialist nurse training and teaching quality evaluation in China and around the world. There are several aspects that can be improved in the evaluation of the quality of clinical practice teaching for ICU specialist nurses in China. Result-oriented summative evaluation is mainly used in China, and there are few studies on the quality evaluation of clinical practice teaching process. Effective feedback mechanism has not been established for teaching quality evaluation. There is a lack of systematic theoretical guidance and few studies have been conducted on the formation of the quality of clinical practice teaching and the affecting factors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct a set of scientific and practical clinical practice teaching quality evaluation system for ICU specialist nurses under the guidance of systematic theory and in line with China's national conditions. We should formulate reasonable and uniform quality evaluation standards for clinical practice teaching, strengthen the quality evaluation of the training process on the basis of result-oriented quality evaluation. Moreover, the needs of all parties in the evaluation system should be comprehensively evaluated to improve the quality of clinical practice teaching.

		                        			ObjectiveTo explore the effect of targeted intervention measures based on risk score of venous thromboembolism (VTE), on the prevention of senile type 2 diabetes inpatients, as well as their influence on the occurrence of venous thromboembolism. MethodsA total of 134 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were hospitalized in geriatrics department of Peking university third hospital during June 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018 were selected as the research subjects. All the patients were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method, with 67 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional intervention methods, and patients in the observation group were treated with targeted intervention measures based on VTE risk score. After one month of intervention, the Padua score, blood glucose level and coagulation indexes of the two groups were compared. The incidence of thrombosis during the intervention period was also recorded. ResultsThe Padua score in observation group (2.09±2.17) points was significantly lower than that (3.19±2.37) points in control group (P<0.05). The indexes of fasting blood glucose, 2h postprandial blood glucose and HbA1c in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The fibrinogen, D-dimer, activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The incidence of DVT, PVT, lower limb swelling, pain and abnormal skin color in the observation group were 4.00%, 2.00%, 2.00%, 2.00%, and 0, respectively, and in the control group were 12.00%, 10.00%, 10.00%, 12.00%, and 8.00%, respectively. The incidence of adverse events in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). ConclusionTargeted intervention based on VTE risk score can significantly reduce the risk of VTE occurrence, improve blood clotting function and blood glucose level in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This nursing measure has important clinical application value.

		                        			Objective:To analyze the correlation between clinical features and prognosis or prognostic risk factors in patients with KMT2A::AFF1 gene positive B-ALL.Methods:Retrospective cohort study was conducted. 167 cases of B-ALL admitted to the Shanghai General Hospital and the Naval Medical University Affiliated First Hospital from April 1, 2011 to July 31, 2022 were divided into groups according to gene types. 22 cases with KMT2A::AFF1 positive B-ALL were enrolled as the experimental group, 54 cases with BCR::ABL gene positive B-ALL as control group 1 and 91 cases with KMT2A::AFF1 and BCR::ABL gene negative B-All as control group 2. The median age of first diagnosis in the experimental group, control group 1 and control group 2 were 43.5(30.5, 56), 43.5(34, 55) and 32(24, 46) respectively. The median white blood cell counts of the three groups were 142.4(25.7, 247.2)×10 9/L, 37.6(15.7, 102.2)×10 9/L and 13.4(4.3, 33.0)×10 9/L, respectively. Allo-HSCT rates in three groups were 45.5%, 72.2% and 72.5% respectively. Using SPSS 26.0 software, the statistical methods of nonparametric rank sum test, chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression were used to analyze and compare the differences in clinical characteristics, chemotherapy and prognosis between the experimental group and the control groups, and to analyze the risk factors and the differences in prognosis of allo-HSCT in the experimental group. Results:The age difference between the experimental group and the control group 2 was significant ( Z=-2.151, P=0.031). The white blood cell count in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group 1 ( Z=-2.363, P=0.018) and control group 2 ( Z=-4.886, P<0.001). The rate of allo-HSCT in experimental group was lower than that in control group 1(45.5% vs 72.2%, χ 2=4.890, P=0.027) and control group 2 (45.5% vs 72.5%, χ 2=5.897, P=0.015). The remission rates of the patients in three groups after receiving one course of chemotherapy were 60%(12/20), 83.3%(45/54) and 76.6%(69/90); the remission rates after two courses of chemotherapy were 25%(5/20), 7.4%(4/54) and 12.2% (11/90), and the non-remission rates of more than two courses of treatment were 15%(3/20), 9.3%(5/54) and 11.1%(10/90), respectively. The effect of chemotherapy in experimental group was worse than that in control group 1 ( Z=-1.979, P=0.048). There was no significant difference between the three groups in sex, whether the chromosome is a standard-risk karyotype, hemoglobin at the time of initial onset, platelet count and percentage of bone marrow blast cells. The overall survival rate (OS) of experimental group was significantly lower than that of control group 1 and control group 2(23.9% vs 36.7%, χ 2=7.608, P=0.006 and 23.9% vs. 44.8%, χ 2=6.442, P=0.011), and the 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was also lower than that of the other two groups (14.0% vs 57.6%, χ 2=17.823, P<0.001 and 14.0% vs 48.2%, χ 2=16.432, P<0.001). There was a significant difference in the total OS rate between the experimental group and the group without allo-HSCT (45.0% vs 9.2%, χ 2=15.254, P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that age was the risk factor of RFS in the experimental group, and allo-HSCT therapy was the protective factor of OS. Multivariate analysis showed that allo-HSCT was an independent protective factor for OS in the experimental group. Conclusions:Patients with KMT2A::AFF1 positive B-ALL had higher white blood cells, less sensitivity to chemotherapy and poor prognosis. Age was a risk factor of RFS in KMT2A::AFF1 positive B-ALL, and allo-HSCT could improve the prognosis.

		                        			 Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel proteins that facilitate the transport of water molecules across cell membranes. To date, seven AQPs have been found to be expressed in mammal kidneys. The cellular localization and regulation of the transport properties of AQPs in the kidney have been widely investigated. Autophagy is known as a highly conserved lysosomal pathway, which degrades cytoplasmic components. Through basal autophagy, kidney cells maintain their functions and structure. As a part of the adaptive responses of the kidney, autophagy may be altered in response to stress conditions. Recent studies revealed that autophagic degradation of AQP2 in the kidney collecting ducts leads to impaired urine concentration in animal models with polyuria. Therefore, the modulation of autophagy could be a therapeutic approach to treat water balance disorders. However, as autophagy is either protective or deleterious, it is crucial to establish an optimal condition and therapeutic window where autophagy induction or inhibition could yield beneficial effects. Further studies are needed to understand both the regulation of autophagy and the interaction between AQPs and autophagy in the kidneys in renal diseases, including nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

		                        			Objective To investigate the application value of functional MRI in the differential diagnosis between breast mucinous carcinoma and phyllodes tumor(≥ 3 cm). Methods 55 cases of breast mucinous adeno-carcinoma and phyllodes tumors(≥ 3 cm)from January 2012 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. MRI features of 20 mucinous carcinomas and 35 phyllodes tumors were analyzed,compared with pathology. Re-sults There were 20 cases of breast mucinous carcinoma in current study,including 14 cases of pure mucinous carcinoma and 6 cases of mixed mucinous carcinoma. There were 35 cases of phyllodes tumors,including 9 be-nign,18 borderline and 8 malignant cases. There was no significant difference in T1WI signal and enhancement mode between breast mucinous carcinoma and phyllodes tumors. There were significant differences in age,long di-ameter,morphology,lobulation,border,ADC value,EER,T2WI signal and TIC curve pattern(P < 0.05). The area under ROC(AUC)of ADC value and EER for breast mucinous adenocarcinoma and phyllodes tumor was 0.7036 and 0.8029,respectively. Conclusions Multi-model functional MRI can effectively distinguish breast mucinous adenocarcinoma from phyllodes tumor(≥ 3 cm),and EER is more accurate than ADC value.

		                        			Overexpressing of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is the essential cause of multidrug resistance (MDR), which is a significant hurdle to the success of chemotherapy in many cancers. Therefore, inhibiting the activity of ABC transporters may be a logical approach to circumvent MDR. Olmutinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which has been approved in South Korea for advanced EGFR T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we found that olmutinib significantly increased the sensitivity of chemotherapy drug in ABCG2-overexpressing cells. Furthermore, olmutinib could also increase the retention of doxorubicin (DOX) and rhodamine 123 (Rho 123) in ABC transporter subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2)-overexpressing cells. In addition, olmutinib was found to stimulate ATPase activity and inhibit photolabeling of ABCG2 with [I]-iodoarylazidoprazosin (IAAP). However, olmutinib neither altered ABCG2 expression at protein and mRNA levels nor blocked EGFR, Her-2 downstream signaling of AKT and ERK. Importantly, olmutinib enhanced the efficacy of topotecan on the inhibition of S1-MI-80 cell xenograft growth. All the results suggest that olmutinib reverses ABCG2-mediated MDR by binding to ATP bind site of ABCG2 and increasing intracellular chemotherapeutic drug accumulation. Our findings encouraged to further clinical investigation on combination therapy of olmutinib with conventional chemotherapeutic drugs in ABCG2-overexpressing cancer patients.

		                        			[Objective]To explore the MRI features of the mucinous breast carcinoma and the correlation with biological prognos?tic factors.[Methods]MRI features of 35 pure and 15 mixed mucinous carcinomas were retrospectively analyzed. MR images were reviewed for shape,margin,the signal intensity,enhancement patterns of tumors and DWI features. All the patients were detected by immunohistochemical staining with expression of ER,PR,CerbB-2,Ki-67 and Her-2. Correlations between the pure and mixed mucinous breast carcinoma and prognostic factors were analyzed.[Results]16 oval masses(16/35,45.7%)and 10 circular masses (10/35,28.6%)were found in 35 pure mucinous breast carcinomas with clear boundary(26/35,74.3%)and lobulated shape(31/35,88.6%);9 irregular masses(9/15,60%)were found in mixed mucinous breast carcinomas with unclear boundary(13/15, 86.7%). Very high signal intensity on T2-weighted images was found in 33 pure mucinous carcinomas(33/35,94.3%)and 11 mixed mucinous carcinomas showed mixed signal intensity(11/15,73.3%). Early enhancement rate was(114.7 ± 9.1)% for pure muci?nous carcinomas and(165.6 ± 14.3)%for mixed mucinous carcinomas. 28 pure mucinous tumors demonstrated persistent enhancing pattern on time-signal intensity curve ,7 pure mucinous tumors demonstrated plateau pattern and 7 mixed mucinous carcinomas showed plateau pattern and washout pattern respectively. Mean ADC value was(1.91 ± 0.06)×10-3 mm2/s for pure mucinous carcino?mas and(1.13±0.08)×10-3mm2/s for mixed mucinous carcinomas. There was significant difference with morphology,boundary,T2WI signal,early enhancement rate,time-signal intensity curve,ADC value between pure and mixed mucinous breast carcinoma(P <0.05). There was significant difference between pure and mixed mucinous breast carcinoma with Her-2 and Ki-67 expression(P <0.05).[Conclusion]MRI could identify PMBC and MMBC from the shape,the signal intensity,dynamic enhancement and ADC val?ue,and PMBC had distinctive MRI features. The prognosis of MMBC is worse than that of PMBC form correlation between biological prognostic factors and mucinous breast carcinoma.
