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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and platelet-albumin-bilirubin (PALBI) score in predicting the risk of esophagogastric variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. MethodsA total of 119 patients with liver cirrhosis who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from May 2021 and June 2022 were enrolled, and clinical data, routine blood test results, serum biochemistry, and coagulation test results were collected from all patients. According to the presence or absence of esophagogastric variceal bleeding, the patients were divided into non-bleeding group with 59 patients and bleeding group with 60 patients, and a comparative analysis was performed for the two groups. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-squared test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for esophagogastric variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis and establish a nomogram predictive model. ResultsThe male patients accounted for 75.00% in the bleeding group and 40.68% in the non-bleeding group, and there was a significant difference in sex composition between the two groups (χ2=14.384, P<0.001). Chronic hepatitis B was the main etiology in both the bleeding group and the non-bleeding group (53.33% vs 38.98%), and there was no significant difference in composition ratio between the two groups (χ2=2.464, P=0.116). Compared with the non-bleeding group, the bleeding group had a significantly higher activity of AT-IIIA (t=3.329, P=0.001) and significantly lower levels of PLT, TBil, Ca, TC, and TT (all P<0.05). There were significant differences in APRI and PALBI between the two groups (χ2=6.175 and 19.532, both P<0.05). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that APRI (odds ratio [OR]=0.309, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.109 — 0.881, P=0.028), PALBI (OR=7.667, 95%CI: 2.005 — 29.327, P=0.003), Ca (OR=0.001, 95%CI: 0.000 — 0.141, P=0.007), TC (OR=0.469, 95%CI: 0.226 — 0.973, P=0.042), and TT (OR=0.599, 95%CI: 0.433 — 0.830, P=0.002) were independent influencing factors for esophagogastric variceal bleeding in liver cirrhosis. A nomogram model was established based on the above factors and had an index of concordance of 0.899 and a well-fitted calibration curve. ConclusionAPRI and PALBI have a good value in predicting esophagogastric variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis, and the nomogram model established based on this study can predict the incidence rate of esophagogastric variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the color, odor and volatile components of Paeoniae Radix Alba(PRA) and its processed products, and to examine the effects of different processing methods on the odor and color formation of PRA. MethodThe odor and chromaticity information of PRA, honey chaff-fried PRA and honey bran-fried PRA were identified by electronic nose and colorimeter, and the volatile components in the different processed products of PRA were identified and relatively quantified by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-GC-MS), and analyzed using principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA), then the differential key flavor components among the three were screened according to the principles of variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1 and relative odor activity value(ROAV)≥1. Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the association between the differential flavor components and the colorimetric values and electronic nose sensors, respectively. ResultAfter being fried with honey chaff and honey bran, the lightness value(L*) of PRA decreased, and red-green value(a*) and yellow-blue value(b*) increased significantly(P<0.05, P<0.01). The odor differences were mainly reflected in the S1, S2, S4, S5, S6, S8 and S11 sensors, and the results of PCA of the electronic nose indicated that the odor differences among PRA, honey chaff-fried PRA and honey bran-fried PRA were obvious, among which the overall odor intensity of honey bran-fried PRA was higher than that of honey chaff-fried PRA. A total of 47 volatile components were identified from PRA and its processed products, including 21 for PRA, 36 for honey chaff-fried PRA, and 37 for honey bran-fried PRA. Odor analysis revealed that 12, 24 and 22 volatile components may be the key flavor components in PRA, honey chaff-fried PRA and honey bran-fried PRA, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the L* of the decoction pieces was negatively correlated with the content of the Maillard reaction products, the a* and b* were positively correlated with the content of the Maillard reaction products, the S1 and S8 sensors were negatively correlated with the content of the Maillard reaction products, and the S2, S4, S5, S6 and S11 sensors were positively correlated with the Maillard reaction products. ConclusionThe color of PRA is deepened after being stir-fried with honey chaff and honey bran, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural and other components are generated at the same time, which is in line with the theory of burning aroma strengthens the spleen of stir-fried with honey chaff and honey bran. Honey bran-fried PRA has a stronger Maillard reaction than honey chaff-fried PRA, which makes honey bran-fried PRA with a burnt flavor and a dark yellow color, while honey chaff-fried PRA has a sweet flavor and a bright yellow color.

Whether alpha wave synchronization is correlated with stimulus color is explored under the stimulus modes of binocular homo-frequency and binocular dual-frequency in low-,medium-or high-frequency ranges which are(fI±3),(2fI±3),and(4fI±3)Hz,respectively(colors being red,green,blue,where fI represents the spontaneous alpha wave frequency).Normalized Shannon entropy is served as an indicator to evaluate the degree of alpha wave synchronization,and the effects of stimulus modes and color combinations on alpha wave synchronization are investigated.The results indicate that under the stimulus modes of binocular homo-frequency and binocular dual-frequency in the low-,medium-or high-frequency ranges,regardless of red,green or blue light,the degree of alpha wave phase synchronization varies in an"Arnold's tongue"shape,with red>green>blue(in term of synchronization degree).Under the stimulus of binocular dual-frequency and different color lights,a change in the stimulus frequency of one eye affects the alpha wave synchronization of the other eye.These findings offer new insights for the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive impairment,and the combination of stimulus frequency,color and mode can address limitations in stimulus frequency selection for brain-computer interface technology.
