Shared Decision-Making （SDM） is a crucial concept in modern medicine， emphasizing the joint participation of doctors and patients in the medical decision-making process. However， the authoritative position of doctors and the passive role of patients in traditional medical models often overlook the personal wishes and needs of patients， leading to tense doctor-patient relationships and medical disputes. By listening to and understanding their stories， narrative medicine helps doctors gain a more comprehensive understanding of patients’ situations and balances medical advice with patient needs in the decision-making process. Through systematic literature analysis and theoretical exploration， this paper investigated the application effects and mechanisms of narrative medicine in different medical contexts， as well as analyzed its specific role in the process of SDM. The aim is to explore the value of narrative medicine in bridging differences in SDM， revealing its role in promoting doctor-patient communication， enhancing decision-making participation， and improving medical outcomes. Researches had found that narrative medicine enhanced doctors’ “narrative ability”， promoted emotional communication and trust between doctors and patients， reduced conflicts and misunderstandings in decision-making， and improved patients’ sense of participation and trust， thus playing an important role in SDM. Therefore， by enhancing doctor-patient communication and understanding， promoting SDM and treatment selection between doctors and patients， personalized care and treatment optimization， advocating for doctor-patient co-construction， improving consultation efficiency， restoring the patient’s subject position， and other methods， it can bridge doctor-patient differences， promote communication and enhance decision-making participation， and improve medical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of Fried Frailty Phenotype （FFP）， liver frailty index （LFI）， and Short Physical Performance Battery （SPPB） in predicting 2-year all-cause mortality and decompensation events in patients with liver cirrhosis. MethodsA total of 277 patients with liver cirrhosis who were hospitalized in Beijing Friendship Hospital， Capital Medical University， from December 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled， and FFP， LFI， and SPPB were used to assess the state of frailty. Based on the scores of each tool， these patients were divided into frail and non-frail groups. These three tools were compared in terms of consistency and independent predictive performance. The primary endpoints were 2-year all-cause mortality rate and composite endpoints （death+decompensation events）， and the Cox regression analysis， the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， net reclassification index （NRI）， and integrated discrimination improvement （IDI） index were used to analyze the predictive value of the three tools. Normally distributed continuous data were compared between two groups using the independent samples t-test， while non-normally distributed continuous data were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical data were compared between groups using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test. The agreement among different frailty tools was evaluated using Cohen’s Kappa statistic. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted， and a survival analysis was performed using the log-rank test. ResultsThe prevalence rate of frailty assessed by FFP， LFI， and SPPB was 37.2%， 22.4%， and 20.2%， respectively， with a moderate consistency between FFP and LFI/SPPB （κ=0.57， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.47 — 0.67； κ=0.51， 95%CI： 0.41 — 0.62） and a relatively high consistency between LFI and SPPB （κ=0.87， 95%CI： 0.80 — 0.94）. Compared with the non-frailty group， the frailty group had significantly higher all-cause mortality rate and incidence rate of composite endpoints （P0.001）. After multivariate adjustment， FFP， LFI， and SPPB had a hazard ratio of 2.42（95%CI： 1.51 — 5.11）， 2.21（95%CI： 1.11 — 4.42）， and 2.21（95%CI： 1.14 — 4.30）， respectively， in predicting all-cause mortality， as well as a hazard ratio of 2.51（95%CI： 1.61 — 3.91）， 2.40（95%CI： 1.51 — 3.80）， and 2.20（95%CI： 1.39 — 3.47）， respectively， in predicting composite endpoints. Compared with Child-Pugh score， FFP had a significantly greater area under the ROC curve （AUC） in predicting all-cause mortality （0.79 vs 0.69， P=0.032） and composite endpoints （0.75 vs 0.68， P=0.044）. Frailty assessment tools combined with Child-Pugh score significantly improved the performance in predicting all-cause mortality and composite endpoints， with an AUC of 0.81 — 0.82 and 0.77 — 0.78， respectively （P0.05）. NRI and IDI analyses further confirmed the improvement of the combined model in classification （all P0.001）. ConclusionFFP， LFI， and SPPB can independently predict adverse outcomes in patients with liver cirrhosis， among which FFP has the best predictive performance， and the combination of frailty assessment tools with Child-Pugh score can significantly enhance the accuracy of prognostic evaluation.

Objective To explore the prognostic value and immune infiltration landscape of anoikis-related long noncoding RNAs (arlncRNAs) in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods RNA-seq and clinical data of lung adenocarcinoma were downloaded from the TCGA database, and anoikis-related genes were obtained from the GeneCards and Harmonizome databases. Coexpression, differential, and WGCNA analyses were performed to screen differentially expressed arlncRNAs closely related to the occurrence of lung adenocarcinoma. A prognostic risk model was then constructed based on the arlncRNAs, and its predictive efficacy was further validated. Finally, consensus clustering was used to identify the molecular subtypes associated with anoikis in lung adenocarcinoma. Results Seven prognostic arlncRNAs were identified, and the prognostic risk models established based on them had AUC values of ROC curves greater than 0.7. Survival and immune infiltration analyses revealed that low-risk patients had high overall survival and immune infiltration, implying that they experienced good immune treatment effects. Drug sensitivity analysis showed that the high-risk patients were more sensitive to commonly used chemotherapeutic agents than the low-risk patients. According to the expression of model genes, subtypes C1 and C2 were identified through consensus clustering, and C1 showed a good prognosis. Conclusion The prognostic risk model based on the seven arlncRNAs can effectively predict the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma patients. The results of immune-related and drug sensitivity analyses provide a reference for the precise individualized treatment of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Tongxie yaofang （TXYF） on the symptoms of rats with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea （IBS-D） by regulating colonic tryptophan hydroxylase 1 （TPH1）， serotonin transporter （SERT） and intestinal flora. METHODS Forty-two SD rats were randomly divided into control group （7 rats） and modeling group （35 rats）. In modeling group， rat model of IBS-D was established by intragastrical administration of 0.45 g/L senna leaf solution [10 mL/（kg·d）] combined with chronic unpredictable stimulation. Thirty-five successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group， pinaverium bromide group [15 mg/（kg·d）] and TXYF low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups [3.75、7.5、15 g/（kg·d）， calculated by crude drug]， with 7 rats in each group. Each administration group was orally administered the corresponding drug， once a day， for 10 consecutive days. The general condition and weight changes of each group of rats were compared before modeling， after modeling and before administration， after the last drug intervention； the diarrhea index and visceral sensitivity were detected， and pathological changes of colon tissue were observed after modeling and before administration， after the last drug intervention. The level and expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT）， protein and mRNA expressions of TPH1 and SERT were determined in colon tissue. The diversity and structural changes of fecal intestinal flora of rats were analyzed. RESULTS There was no significant change in colon histopathology in each group. Compared with model group， the general condition of rats in each medication group improved. The daily body weight gain of rats was significantly increased， while diarrhea index， visceral sensitivity， the expressions of 5-HT and TPH1 in colon tissue were significantly decreased； SERT expression of colon tissue was significantly increased in TXYF medium-dose and high-dose groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The diarrhea index， colon TPH1 protein expression and colon 5-HT protein positive rate in the TXYF low-dose group decreased while the mRNA expression of SERT increased significantly （P＜0.05）. There was a dose- dependent trend in the effect of TXYF. Compared with model group， Chao1 index and Shannon index of the rats in TXYF high- dose group were significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， the beneficial bacteria such as Firmicutes and Lactobacillus increased significantly， while the pathogenic bacteria such as Proteobacteria， Escherichia-Shigella and Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_ group decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS TXYF can decrease the level of 5-HT and improve intestinal flora disorder by inhibiting the expression of TPH1 and up-regulating the expression of SERT in colon tissue， thus promoting the symptoms of IBS-D rats.

【Objective】 To explore the model of treatment of refractory wounds by apheresis platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and evaluate its efficacy and safety. 【Methods】 PRP treatment was carried out for 34 patients with refractory wounds who were hospitalized in our hospital from June 2020 to December 2023. The patient′s autologous PRP was collected by the blood composition separator. PRP point-like injection and/or direct application along the edge of the wound, or platelet gel (PG) to cover the wound and fill the sinus were used to treat different types of wounds. The frequency of treatment was once to twice a week, with each course of treatment consisting of 4 to 5 sessions. The efficacy was observed and recorded, and the safety was evaluated. 【Results】 Before PRP collection, the basal platelet, white blood cell and red blood cell counts were (321.85±114.64) ×10⁹/L, (9.52±3.21) ×10⁹/L and (4.34±0.62) ×10¹²/L, respectively. The counts of platelets, white blood cells and red blood cells in PRP products were (1 438.53±376.89)×10⁹/L, (1.38±1.03)×10⁹/L and (0.03±0.01)×10¹²/L, respectively. The platelet concentration of PRP products increased by 4.47 times on average, and the sampled bacterial culture was negative. Out of 34 patients treated with PRP, 33 showed improvement in symptoms, while 1 did not respond well due to long-term bedridden and poor compliance. Four patients had mild adverse reactions during PRP collection or treatment, but all were able to complete PRP collection or treatment after standardized treatment. 【Conclusion】 Apheresis PRP products have the advantages of stable quality, safety, reliability and traceability, and can effectively promote the healing of a variety of refractory wounds. Its treatment process is safe and effective, and is worthy of popularization and application.

In order to proactively address potential biosafety issues in the field or laboratory activities related to arthropods of medical importance, improve the standardization of arthropod biosafety classification, operations, and protection, and ensure the safety of practitioners, an expert consensus on the biosafety recommendation of arthropods of medical importance in field and laboratory has been developed, aiming to guide the future work of arthropods and ensure the national biosafety and biosecurity of China.

The expression level of NOD-like receptors(NLRP3)inflammasome is significantly elevated in breast cancer tissues,and a high level of NLRP3 inflammasomes is closely associated with breast cancer metastasis.Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome can induce the release of inflammatory factors into the tumor microenvironment(TME).These inflammatory factors,by signaling to cancer cells,reshape the TME to promote tumor growth and invasion,ultimately facilitating the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.This equips cancer cells with the ability to establish distant metastases and increase the formation of metastatic lesions.This review addresses the current research status and prospects of NLRP3 inflammasomes in the breast cancer TME and their role in breast cancer metastasis.The goal is to provide new insights for the study of breast cancer metastasis mechanisms and treatment strategies.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of metformin for regulating tumor-stromal cell cross-talk in breast cancer.Methods Tumor associated fibroblasts(CAFs)co-cultured with breast cancer cells were treated with metformin,and the changes in expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),p-AMPK,stroma-derived factor-1(SDF-1)and interleukin-8(IL-8)in the CAFs were detected using ELISA,RT-qPCR or Western blotting;Transwell assay was used to evaluate the invasiveness of the tumor cells and its changes following treatment with exogenous SDF-1,IL-8 and TGF-β1.The effects of HIF-1α shRNA or overexpression plasmid,AMPK shRNA,and treatment with OG(a proline hydroxylase inhibitor)or 2-OXO(a proline hydroxylase activator)were examined on p-AMPK,HIF-1α,SDF-1 and IL-8 expressions and invasiveness of the CAFs.Results Metformin treatment significantly increased the expression levels of p-AMPK,SDF-1 and IL-8(P<0.05)and decreased HIF-1α expression(P<0.05)without affecting AMPK expression level(P>0.05)in the CAFs.The invasion ability of metformin-treated breast cancer cells was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Exogenous SDF-1 and IL-8,HIF-1α overexpression,and OG-induced upregulation of HIF-1α all significantly attenuated the inhibitory effects of metformin on breast cancer cell invasion(P<0.05)and HIF-1α,SDF-1 and IL-8 expressions in CAFs(P<0.05).Transfection with HIF-1α shRNA or treatment with 2-OXO significantly decreased the invasiveness of breast cancer cells(P<0.05).P-AMPK knockdown significantly suppressed the inhibitory effect of metformin on HIF-1α expression in CAFs and on invasion of breast cancer cells(P<0.05).Treatment with TGF-β1 partially decreased the inhibitory effect of metformin on HIF-1α expression in CAFs and invasiveness of the breast cancer cells(P<0.05).Conclusion Metformin suppresses HIF-1α expression in CAFs to block tumor-stromal cross talk in breast cancer.
