Immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, tumor vaccine therapy, oncolytic virotherapy, and adoptive cell therapy, has made remarkably breakthroughs in the field of oncology. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, which block programmed death receptor 1 or programmed death ligand 1, have been included in the first-line clinical treatment for advanced solid tumors, such as non-small cell lung cancer and malignant melanoma. However, primary or secondary drug resistance in tumors severely limits the survival benefits for patients. Immune-related adverse reactions, such as pneumonia, hypothyroidism, hypophysitis, and myocarditis, also greatly affect the quality of life of patients. Fuzheng Jiedu Huayu is an important concept guiding the prevention and treatment of tumors with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is also a curative principle and therapeutic TCM method to reduce the toxicity and enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy. This article summarizes the research progress of immunotherapy and discusses how TCM reduces the toxicity and enhances the efficacy of immunotherapy, hoping to provide a reference for the integrated treatment of tumors with TCM and immunotherapy.

To summarize the clinical experience of Professor LIU Shangyi in treating pruritus vulvae. It is believed that women have the physiological characteristics of liver and kidney as the root， and their pubic area is easily attacked by wind-dampness pathogenic qi， so the core mechanism of pruritus vulvae is proposed as wind-dampness accumulation and deficiency of liver and kidney. The core treatment method is to dispel wind-dampness and nourish the liver and kidneys， and modify the Danggui Decoction （当归饮子） to form a self-prescribed Yinyang Formula （阴痒方） as the basic prescription to treat pruritus vulvaen.

Objective To establish normal reference values for left ventricular trabecular and papillary muscle mass(TPMM)in Chinese adults using MRI and to explore its impact factors.Methods A total of 168 healthy Chinese adults were retrospectively included,and compacted and total left ventricular myocardial mass(LVM)were measured using traditional and dedicated methods,respectively.TPMM was calculated from the difference between total and compacted LVM.Independent sample t-tests and analysis of variance were used to explore the differences in TPMM among genders and age groups,while multiple linear regression was used to explore the independent correlation between TPMM and age,gender,heart rate,systolic blood pressure(SBP),fasting blood glucose(FBG),and body mass index(BMI).Results TPMM for men was significantly larger than that for female(P<0.001).TPMM in the elderly group was significantly larger in female(P<0.05),but not in men.Multiple linear regression showed that BMI and SBP were both independently positively correlated with TPMM,and female and heart rate were independently negatively correlated with TPMM(P<0.05).Conclusion This study provides age-and gender-specific normal reference values for TPMM in Chinese adults.Gender,heart rate,BMI,and SBP are all independently associated with TPMM.

Objective It aims to analyze the resource distribution of Chinese gradeA teritary hospitals across six regions from 2012 to 2021,so as to further understand the changes in inter-regional health resource allocation.Methods Based on the"Thirteenth Five-Year Plan"for the Establishment of National Medical Centers and Regional Medical Centers,it utilizes indicators such as the annual growth rate,coefficient of variation,agglomeration degree,and Theil index to explore the resource allocation in Chinese gradeA teritary hospitals from 2012 to 2021.Comparative and trend analyses are also conducted.Results The regional difference of high-quality medical resources in the country has continued to narrow,especially with an increased rate of reduction since 2017.The Theil index of resource allocation in grade A teritary hospitals in various regions of the country has decreased from 0.035 0 to 0.020 5,indicating a positive trend towards fairness and a gradual increase in regional development coordination.An imbalance in the geographical distribution of resources among third-class medical institutions persists across various regions of China.Conclusion The resource allocation of grade A teritary hospitals in the western region should fully consider geographical factors and change the traditional single"human-oriented"resource allocation mode.Grade A teritary hospitals in economically developed areas still need to increase resource investment,conduct proactive population monitoring,early warning,and macro resource planning.The resource allocation of third-class medical institutions should focus on both intra-regional development and inter-regional collaboration to enhance the quality and efficiency of resource distribution.

Objective To explore the efficacy of retropubic midurethral synthetic sling(RMUS)in relieving urgency and urge urinary incontinence(UUI)symptoms in patients with mixed urinary incontinence(MUI).Methods Clinical data of 44 female MUI patients treated with RMUS during Jan.2018 and Dec.2020 in Shanghai Renji Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.All patients had positive results in stress test and Marshall-Marchetti test before operation,and 27 of them completed ICIQ-FLUTS-LF questionnaire.Urodynamic(UDS)tests suggested that 9 patients(20.5％)presented detrusor overactivity(DO).During RMUS procedure,the tension of the sling was adjusted based on the anatomical landmarks.The postoperative efficacy and improvement of urinary incontinence were analyzed.Results The patients aged(58.59±9.08)years,with a body mass index of 24.71±2.77.Among the 40 patients who completed telephone interview 2 years after surgery,the subjective cure rate was 85.0％(34/40).Among the 27 patients with records of questionnaires before and after surgery,there were significant differences in the incidence of urine leakage[100％(27/27)vs.18.5％(5/27)],stress urinary incontinence(SUI)[100％(27/27)vs.18.5％(5/27)]and UUI[70.4％(19/27)vs.29.6％(8/27)](P＜0.05).However,no statistical differences were found regarding nocturia voiding episode(≥1 times),urgency,dysuria,hesitancy,strain to void,intermittent stream and enuresis(P＞0.05).Based on preoperative UDS test,there were significant differences regarding the subjective cure rate in patients with or without preoperative DO[55.6％(5/9)vs.93.5％(29/31)],incidence of SUI[66.7％(4/6)vs.4.8％(1/21)],and UUI[66.7％(4/6)vs.19.0％(4/21)](P＜0.05),while there was no statistical difference regarding urgency[66.7％(4/6)vs.33.3％(7/21)](P＞0.05).Conclusion RMUS is effective in treating MUI patients with positive stress test and Marshall-Marchetti test results,which can relieve SUI and UUI symptoms,but has no effects on urgency symptoms.DO on preoperative urodynamics results in poorer subjective outcomes.

[Objective] To explore the application of pelvic floor ultrasonography in the treatment of mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) by transvaginal retropubic midurethral synthetic sling (RMUS), in order to understand the relationship between the morphological changes of pelvic floor structures and the efficacy of RMUS. [Methods] Clinical data of 44 female MUI patients undergoing RMUS during Jan.2018 and Dec.2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Urodynamics detected detrusor overactivity (DO) in 9 cases (20.5%). During RMUS procedure, the tension of the sling was adjusted based on the anatomical landmarks. The changes of ultrasonic parameters before and after operation, the relationship between the ultrasonic results, surgical efficacy and urodynamic results were analyzed. [Results] The patients averaged (58.59±9.08) years, with the body mass index being 24.71±2.77.The subjective cure rate was 91.3% (21/23) 3 months after surgery, and 85.0% (34/40) 2 years after surgery.Pelvic floor ultrasonography showed significant differences in posterior urethravesical angel at rest and during Valsalva, bladder neck descent distance and the rate of urethral funneling during Valsalva (P<0.05). According to the group analysis of the preoperative ultrasonic results, there was no statistical significance in the subjective cure rate between the funneling group and the non-funneling group during Valsalva, and the bladder neck non downward group/mild downward group/moderate downward group/severe downward group during Valsalva 3 months and 2 years after surgery (P>0.05). At 3-month follow-up, all pre-RMUS urethral funneling during Valsalva disappeared in patients without preoperative DO.Comparatively, 50.0% (3/6) urethral funneling still presented in DO patients, who had a lower cure rate (55.6%, 5/9) at the 2-year follow-up. [Conclusion] RMUS can reduce the posterior urethravesical angel at rest and during Valsalva, reduce bladder neck descent distance and the rate of urethral funneling during Valsalva in MUI patients, which can enhance urinary continence.There seems to be a correlation between DO and urethral funneling during Valsalva, while RMUS may potentially reverse the two markers.
