In order to promote the innovative application of Sanjiao theory and Yingwei theory, this paper tries to apply the ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation theory to the treatment of tumor diseases, integrating it with T cell exhaustion mechanism to elaborate on its scientific connotation and using network pharmacology and bioinformatics to elucidate the correlation between the anti-tumor mechanism of ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation and T cell exhaustion. The ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation function is closely related to the immunometabolic ability of the human body, and the ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation system constitutes the immunometabolic exchange system within and outside the cellular environment. Cancer toxicity is generated by the fuzzy Sanjiao Qi, and the long-term fuzzy Sanjiao Qi is the primary factor leading to T cell exhaustion, which is related to the long-term activation of T cell receptors by the high tumor antigen load in the tumor microenvironment. Qi transformation malfunction of the Sanjiao produces phlegm and collects stasis, which contributes to T cell exhaustion and is correlated with nutrient deprivation, lipid accumulation, and high lactate levels in the immunosuppressed tumor microenvironment, as well as with the release of transforming growth factor-β and upregulated expression of programmed death receptor-1 by tumor-associated fibroblasts and platelets in the tumor microenvironment. Ying and Wei damage due to Sanjiao Qi transformation malfunction is similar to the abnormal manifestations such as progressive loss of exhausted T cell effector function and disturbance of cellular energy metabolism. Guizhi decoction, Shengming decoction, and Wendan decoction can correct T cell exhaustion and exert anti-tumor effects through multi-target and multi-pathways by regulating ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation, and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) may be one of the main pathways to correct T cell exhaustion. It was found that HIF-1α may be one of the important prognostic indicators in common tumors by bioinformatics. The use of the ''Sanjiao-Yingwei'' Qi transformation method may play an important part in improving the prognosis of tumor patients in clinical practice.

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes(EDS)are a group of rare hereditary connective tissue disorders characterized by joint hypermobility,skin hyperextensibility,and tissue fragility.The clinical and genetic hetero-geneity of EDS frequently leads to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis.Genetic testing is an essential approach to clarify the underlying diagnosis.Recent research has preliminarily established genotype-phenotype correlations and introduced the novel concept of"disease spectrum"in some subtypes.These studies deepen our under-standing of EDS etiology and provide important insights into clinical management.Published in 2023,the Chinese Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes(the Guidelines)recommend performing genetic testing with deep phenotyping for patients who meet the clinical diagnostic criteria or are sus-pected of having EDS.However,it should be noted that the clinical diagnosis might differ from the molecular diagnosis.Furthermore,cutting-edge approaches such as periodic data reanalysis,integration of RNA sequen-cing into family-based whole-genome sequencing,and third-generation sequencing may facilitate the reclassifi-cation of variants of uncertain significance or resolve undiagnosed cases.This article summarizes recent progress in the genetics research of EDS,with the hope of offering a valuable resource for clinical diagnosis,treatment and scientific research to optimize the quality of life of patients with EDS.

OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the three oral Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) such as upadacitinib, abrocitinib and baricitinib in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. METHODS The six dimensions of safety, efficacy, economy, appropriateness, accessibility and innovativeness were used for evaluation. Meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three oral JAKi; pharmacoeconomic studies were searched, and the treatment costs were calculated to evaluate the economy of each JAKi. Appropriateness was described based on literature review and drug labels. Accessibility of three oral JAKi was assessed by using a questionnaire survey. The innovation of JAKi was elucidated from the perspective of its mechanism of action. RESULTS In terms of safety, the incidence of upper respiratory tract infection (OR=1.47, 95%CI of 1.04-2.08, P=0.03) and nasopharyngitis (OR=1.44, 95%CI of 1.06-1.95, P=0.02) in the upadacitinib 30 mg group was significantly higher than that in the placebo group; the incidence of nasopharyngitis in baricitinib 4 mg group was significantly higher than that in the placebo group (OR=2.24, 95%CI of 1.39-3.61, P=0.000 8) and baricitinib 2 mg group (OR=0.48, 95%CI of 0.31-0.74,P=0.001). In terms of efficacy, regardless of the dosage, all three JAKi groups were superior to the placebo group, and the high-dose groups of upadacitinib and abrocitinib were superior to the low-dose groups (P<0.000 1). In terms of economy, the annual treatment cost of baricitinib was the lowest (13 870.0 yuan), but it has not been approved for atopic dermatitis indication in China; next was upadacitinib (27 192.5 yuan). In terms of appropriateness, the overall appropriateness of the three JAKis was good, but none of them was suitable for patients with severe liver injury. In terms of accessibility, baricitinib had the highest availability rate (59.4%), but the affordability of upadacitinib was relatively good under China’s medical insurance system. In terms of innovation, among the three types of JAKi, upadacitinib and abrocitinib had better innovation. CONCLUSIONS Three oral JAKi treatments for atopic dermatitis have controllable safety and good efficacy. Considering the issue of medical insurance reimbursement, it is recommended that Chinese patients use upadacitinib.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

Objective:To explore the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a cohort aged 40 years and above in Songjiang District, Shanghai, and to analyze the association of Mediterranean diet pattern and dietary approaches in stopping hypertension pattern (DASH) with the risk of developing COPD.Methods:Based on a natural population cohort in Songjiang District, Shanghai, 27 474 adults aged 40 years and above who did not have COPD at baseline were enrolled in the study. The Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the association of baseline Mediterranean diet pattern score and DASH score with the risk of COPD, and the hazard ratio ( HR) of the risk and its 95% CI were calculated. Restricted cubic spline was used to analyze the nonlinear association between the two diet scores and the risk of COPD. Stratified analyses were performed according to gender, age, smoking status, etcetera. Sensitivity analyses were conducted by censoring cases diagnosed within one year after the baseline survey or people with a history of malignant tumor disease. Results:As of June 30, 2023, after a median follow-up time of 6.21 years, there were 1 089 (4.0%) new COPD cases with an incidence density of 64.00 per 10 000 person-years. After adjusting for relevant confounders, in the Mediterranean tertile subgroups under diet pattern score, the risk of developing COPD could be reduced by approximately 14% in the intermediate scoring group ( HR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.75-0.99) and 15% in the highest scoring group ( HR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.72-0.99) compared to the lowest scoring group. The association remained after censoring cases diagnosed within one year of the baseline survey ( HR=0.82, 95% CI: 0.70-0.95; HR=0.82, 95% CI: 0.68-0.97) or censoring people with a history of malignant tumor disease ( HR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.73-0.97; HR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.71-0.99). No statistical association was found between the DASH score and the risk of COPD. Conclusions:The Mediterranean diet pattern was associated with a lower risk of COPD. Increasing the intake of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains and decreasing the intake of red meat and others can reduce the risk of COPD. No association was found between the DASH dietary pattern and the risk of COPD in this community population.

Objective:To establish a risk prediction model of conversion to open surgery during laparoscopic splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization (LSED) and evaluate the impact of this conversion on patients' short-term prognosis.Methods:A total of 358 cirrhotic portal hypertension patients admitted to the Department of General Surgery , Second Affiliated Hospital, Air Force Military Medical University from Feb 2011 to Nov 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent attempted LSED. Univariate and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Logistic regression were used to analyze the independent risk factors for conversion to laparotomy, and the R language was used to build a nomogram prediction model for conversion to laparotomy. The intraoperative and postoperative conditions of the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 358 patients were included in this study, of which 31(8.7%). patients were converted to open surgery. In univariate analysis, high MELD score, BMI ≥24 kg/m 2, history of upper abdominal surgery, red sign of the varicose, low platelet count and prolonged PT are risk factors for conversion . LASSO regression finally identified 5 factors: MELD, BMI, PLT, history of surgery, and red sign. In the nomogram prediction model the area under ROC curve was 0.831. The conversion led to longer operation time; increased blood loss; prolonged postoperative abdominal drainage , longer hospital stay, and increased perioperative complications ( t=-2.167, P=0.031; Z=-4.350, P<0.01; Z=-3.102, P=0.002; Z=-3.454, P=0.001; χ2=8.773, P=0.003). Conclusions:LASSO regression selected five indicators with greatest impact on intraoperative conversion: MELD, BMI, PLT, red sign, and previous history of abdominal surgery. The nomogram prediction model established has good prediction ability. Patients converted to open surgery had worse short-term outcomes.

Total laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization has become an important surgical treatment for portal hypertension patients. Compared with the traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery has multiple advantages including precise operation, small trauma and quick recovery. Accurate preoperative evaluation, precise surgical operation and delicate perioperative management are still important parts in perioperative management of laparoscopic surgery. Preoperative reasonable and accurate individualized assessment, strict control surgical indications and contraindications are the important basis to ensure the perioperative surgery to be safe and rational; standardized and individualized surgical operation is the key for accurate vascular disconnection, reducing intraoperative bleeding and perioperative complications; the concept of fast-track surgery is conducive to the rapid recovery of patients with portal hypertension and reduce the operation related complications. Anticoagulant therapy is a safe and effective treatment to reduce portal vein thrombosis. It is an important task to strengthen the cooperation among different disciplines for the treatment of portal hypertension in the future.
