Objective:To investigate the mechanism of Yunshi Ganmao Heji against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection based on network pharmacology and in vivo experiments. Methods:Network pharmacological prediction: Several databases including TCMSP and GeneCards were used to predict the active ingredients and targets of Yunshi Ganmao Heji in the intervention of RSV infection. Cytoscape 3.2.1 software was used to construct the traditional Chinese medicine component-disease target network diagram. The interactions between proteins were analyzed by STRING database. GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed using Metascape database. Molecular docking technology was used to verify the results of network pharmacology. Experimental verification of Yunshi Ganmao Heji for the intervention of RSV infection: A mouse model of RSV infection was established through intranasal infection. After the administration of Yunshi Ganmao Heji, blood routine test results, lung indexes and pathological changes in lung tissue were analyzed. Peripheral blood T cell subsets were detected by flow cytometry. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in serum were detected by ELISA. RT-PCR was used to detect the relative expression of TLR4, NF-κB and RSV-N gene at mRNA level in lung tissues.Results:A total of 41 active ingredients of Yunshi Ganmao Heji and 111 drug targets for RSV infection were obtained. Besides, 167 signaling pathways mainly including PI3K/AKT, MAPK and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways were obtained. Molecular docking results showed that the binding energies of luteotin, kaempferol and quercetin, three active ingredients of Yunshi Ganmao Heji, with RSV-G, RSV-F, PI3K, AKT1 and Bcl-2 were less than 0 kcal/mol. In vivo experiment results showed that compared with RSV group, the counts of white blood cells and lymphocytes increased and the lung index decreased in high-dose Yunshi Ganmao Heji group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). HE staining showed pulmonary hyperplasia, thickened alveolar wall and inflammatory cell infiltration in interstitium in RSV group. Alveoli in ribavirin group as well as low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose Yunshi Ganmao Heji groups tended to be of uniform size, and the alveolar walls was roughly uniform in thickness. Compared with RSV group, the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose Yunshi Ganmao Heji groups showed significantly increased numbers of CD3 +, CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes, decreased CD4 + /CD8 + T cell ratio, lower levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β in serum, and reduced viral load and inhibited expression of TLR4 and NF-κB at mRNA level in lung tissues ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Yunshi Ganmao Heji can regulate RSV infection by targeting multiple targets and pathways with several active ingredients. Its main functions are to alleviate pathological injury in lung tissues and reduce inflammatory response, and the possible mechanism underlying the antiviral functions may be related to its inhibitory effect on the activation of TLR4/NF-κB pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different surgical approaches on the efficacy and safety of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL).Methods:The clinical data of 130 PCNSL patients admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Tecnology of China between July 2012 and May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were assigned into resection and biopsy groups according to the surgical approach.The safety and efficacy of the two groups were compared,including the objective re-sponse rate(ORR),overall survival(OS),and progression-free survival(PFS)after chemotherapy.Results:ORR and 2-year OS and PFS rates of the resection group were not significantly different from those of the biopsy group(ORR:63.2%vs.62.8%;2-year OS rate:68.6%vs.73.7%;2-year PFS rate:35.2%vs.40.7%,all P>0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher in the resection group than in the biopsy group(29.3%vs.11.4%,P=0.04).The difference in the length of hospitalization between the two groups was not statistic-ally significant.Treatment of the biopsy group was less expensive(P<0.01).Conclusions:In patients with PCNSL,biopsy and resection had comparable efficacy;however,the safety profile was better,and hospitalization was less costly in biopsy than in resection.

Interpreting genes of interest is essential for identifying molecular mechanisms, but acquiring such information typically involves tedious manual retrieval. To streamline this process, the fanyi package offers tools to retrieve gene information from sources like National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), significantly enhancing accessibility. Additionally, understanding the latest research advancements and sharing achievements are crucial for junior researchers. However, language barriers often restrict knowledge absorption and career development. To address these challenges, we developed the fanyi package, which leverages artificial intelligence (AI)-driven online translation services to accurately translate among multiple languages. This dual functionality allows researchers to quickly capture and comprehend information, promotes a multilingual environment, and fosters innovation in academic community. Meanwhile, the translation functions are versatile and applicable beyond biomedicine research to other domains as well. The fanyi package is freely available at https://github.com/YuLab-SMU/fanyi.

Objective:To explore the effect of virtual reality (VR) technology in postoperative pain management for surgical patients.Methods:The literature on VR technology for relieving postoperative pain in surgical patients was electronically retrieved from eight databases, including PubMed, Web of Science and so on. The search period was from database establishment to November 19, 2023. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and conducted literature quality evaluation, using RevMan 5.4 for Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 18 articles were included. Meta-analysis results showed that VR technology could reduce postoperative resting pain scores [ MD=-1.13, 95% CI (-1.29, -0.96), P<0.001], postoperative 12 hour pain scores [ MD=-0.49, 95% CI (-0.73, -0.24), P<0.001], postoperative 24 hour pain scores [ MD=-0.73, 95% CI (-0.92, -0.54), P<0.001], postoperative 48 hour pain scores [ MD=-0.69, 95% CI (-0.84, -0.53), P<0.001], postoperative 72 hour pain scores [ MD=-0.37, 95% CI (-0.59, -0.16), P<0.001], and postoperative pain scores during dressing changes [ MD=-1.11, 95% CI (-2.06, -0.16), P=0.02], and could improve patient postoperative comfort [ MD=8.31, 95% CI (6.57, 10.06), P<0.001] . Conclusions:As a non-pharmacological intervention, VR technology can alleviate postoperative pain and improve patient comfort in surgical patients. In the future, large-scale and high-quality research is still needed to further verify the effectiveness of VR technology.

China has a large population with accelerating process of population aging.Elderly patients have universal medical needs such as physical function,psychological needs and social needs.Therefore,it is urgent to have a comprehensive understanding of the health status of the elderly population,in order to develop individualized treatment plans for this special group of patients.Comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA)as the core skill of geriatric medicine is based on four major aspects,including comprehensive medical assessment,physical function assessment,cognitive and emotional assessment,and social and environmental factors assessment.Several domestic and foreign studies have confirmed that CGA score can be used as an independent prognostic factor in elderly B-cell lymphoma patients receiving immunochemotherapy,and can be used to predict the survival outcome of elderly B-cell lymphoma patients.CGA should be promoted and implemented before immunochemotherapy among elderly patients with B-cell lymphoma in China,in the hope to help with the development of accurate treatment strategies and individualized intervention methods for B-cell lymphoma patients over 60 years old in China.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of a patient with STISS syndrome due to variant of PSMD12 gene. METHODS: Clinical data and result of genetic testing of a patient who was admitted to Shanghai Children's Medical Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine on October 4, 2020 were analyzed, together with a review of relevant literature. RESULTS: The patient was found to harbor a heterozygous c.601C>T (p.Arg201*) nonsense variant of the PSMD12 gene, which was unreported previously. Clinically, the height of the patient has differed significantly from reported in the literature. An extremely rare case of STISS syndrome due to variant of the PSMD12 gene has been diagnosed. CONCLUSION Whether the severely short stature is part of the clinical spectrum for PSMD12 gene variants needs to be further explored, and the efficacy and safety of growth hormone therapy has yet to be determined.

Objective:To investigate the levels of sex hormone and fertility in female patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), as well as their correlation with conditioning regimens, and analyse the effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in young women after HSCT.Methods:Retrospective case series study. The clinical data of 147 women who underwent HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2010 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The sex hormone levels were measured and followed-up, and the survival, menstrual fertility and the use of HRT of the patients were also followed-up. The sex hormone levels were measured after transplantation, and the ovarian function was evaluated. Independent sample t test and χ2 test were used for comparison between the two groups. Results:The median age of the 147 patients was 26 (range, 10-45) years. Of them, 135 patients received allogeneic HSCT and 12 patients received autologous HSCT. Furthermore, 129 patients received myeloablative conditioning, and 18 patients received reduced conditioning dose. The median follow-up time was 50 months (range, 18-134 months). Five patients died of disease recurrence during follow-up. Of the 54 patients with subcutaneous injection of zoladex, three recovered menstruation spontaneously after transplantation, and all of them were myeloablative conditioning patients, one patient gave birth to twins through assisted reproductive technology. Ninety-three patients did not use zoladex before conditioning, two patients with aplastic anemia with non-myeloablative transplantation resumed menstruation spontaneously, and conceived naturally. The level of follicle stimulating hormone after transplantation in patients receiving myeloablative conditioning regimen was significantly higher than that in patients receiving reduced-dose conditioning regimen [(95.28±3.94) U/L vs. (71.85±10.72) U/L, P=0.039]. Among 147 patients, 122 patients developed premature ovarian failure, 83 patients received sex hormone replacement therapy after transplantation, and 76 patients recovered menstruation and improved endocrine function. Conclusions:The incidence of premature ovarian failure is high in female patients after HSCT, and patients have a chance at natural conception. Reducing the dose of conditioning regimen and the application of zoladex before transplantation can reduce ovarian of conditioning drugs. HRT after transplantation can partially improve the endocrine function of patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of thoracoscopic segmentectomy of the dominant lung segment versus thoracoscopic segmentectomy of the complex lung segment for the treatment of stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:This is a case-control study. The clinical data of 110 patients with stage I NSCLC who received treatment in Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital from August 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were assigned to a control group (thoracoscopic segmentectomy of dominant lung segment, n = 58) and an observation group (thoracoscopic segmentectomy of complex lung segment n = 52) according to the surgical method. Tumor location and resection scope in each group were recorded. Perioperative indexes, lung function indexes, complications, and short-term recurrence rates were compared between the two groups. Results:The operative time in the observation group was (175.45 ± 30.72) minutes, which was significantly longer than (152.41 ± 29.83) minutes in the control group ( t = 3.99, P < 0.05). The number of nail bins in the observation group was (4.55 ± 1.23), which was significantly greater than (3.77 ± 1.16) in the control group ( t = 3.42, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in intraoperative bleeding volume, the number of dissected lymph nodes, postoperative drainage volume, postoperative extubation time, and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1), and FEV l/FVC ratio in the observation group were (3.89 ± 0.47) L, (2.92 ± 0.36) L, and (75.06 ± 2.47)%, which were significantly higher than (3.64 ± 0.49) L, (2.68 ± 0.35) L, and (73.63 ± 2.38)% in the control group (all P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in the incidence of complications between the observation and control groups [32.69% (17/52) vs. 20.69% (12/58), P > 0.05]. There was no significant difference in recurrence of stage I NSCLC between the observation and control groups [3.85% (2/52) vs. 1.72% (1/58), P = 0.495]. Conclusion:The overall effect and safety of thoracoscopic segmentectomy of complex lung segment in the treatment of stage I NSCLC are comparable to those of thoracoscopic segmentectomy of the dominant lung segment. However, thoracoscopic segmentectomy of complex lung segments can reduce the impact on lung function and protect lung function to the maximum extent.
