Therefore, this article explored the variation in the characteristics of Chinese medicinal materials and decoction pieces and its main reasons, scientific and reasonable revision of the “characteristics” of Chinese medicinal materials and decoction pieces, the new methods for identifying properties, as well as the issues that need to be noted in revising the characteristics of Chinese medicinal materials and decoction pieces, which provided reference for the revision of the “characteristics” standards of Chinese medicinal materials and decoction pieces.

With the continuous innovation of genomics,proteomics and molecular biological detection technol-ogy,the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)has changed from traditional chemotherapy to immunotherapy and targeted therapy.Among them,molecular tumor markers targeting tyrosine kinase pathways play more important roles in clinical practice.For advanced NSCLC patients with positive epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)mutations,there are many first-line drugs on the market and they could bring significant efficacy,thus completely subverting the treatment pattern of advanced NSCLC.Common mutations of EGFR in Chinese patients are located on exons 19,20 and 21,of which exons 19 and 21 mutations are the more common types.Besides,there is also a subtype of EGFR mutations,known as EGFR 20 exon insertion(EGFR 20ins)mutation.The authors summarized the treatment of a lung adenocarcinoma patient with EGFR 20ins mutation accepting Furmonertinib mesylate,in order to provide effective references for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Hemangioma of the penile head is rare. This paper reported a patient, 16 years old, who was admitted to hospital due to the discovery of multiple masses on the head of the penis for more than two years. Physical examination showed that three vascular mass-like masses were distributed along the coronal sulcus at the 3, 9, and 12 points of the penile head, and the larger one was about 10 mm×5 mm size, blue-purple, soft, and painless. Ultrasound examination suggested that the patient had a penile head hemangioma. Surgical resection was performed, and the postoperative pathological diagnosis was penile head hemangioma.The follow-up of 3 months showed that the wound healed well without recurrence, and the penile head appearance was not obviously deform.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the early effectiveness of transiliac-transsacral screws internal fixation assisted by augmented reality navigation system HoloSight (hereinafter referred to as "computer navigation system") in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring injuries. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made in the 41 patients with posterior pelvic ring injuries who had been treated surgically with transiliac-transsacral screws between June 2022 and June 2023. The patients were divided into navigation group (18 cases, using computer navigation system to assist screw implantation) and freehand group (23 cases, using C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy to guide screw implantation) according to the different methods of transiliac-transsacral screws placement. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, causes of injuries, Tile classification of pelvic fracture, days from injury to operation, usage of unlocking closed reduction technique between the two groups ( P>0.05). The time of screw implantation, the fluoroscopy times, the guide wire adjustment times of each screw, and the incidence of complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. The position of the transiliac-transsacral screw was scanned by CT within 2 days after operation, and the position of the screw was classified according to Gras standard. RESULTS: The operation was successfully completed in both groups. The time of screw implantation, the fluoroscopy times, and the guide wire adjustment times of each screw in the navigation group were significantly less than those in the freehand group ( P<0.05). There were 2 cases of incision infection in the freehand group, and the incision healed by first intention after active dressing change; there was no screw-related complication in the navigation group during operation and early period after operation; the difference in incidence of complications between the two groups (8.7% vs. 0) was not significant ( P=0.495). According to the Gras standard, the screw position of the navigation group was significantly better than that of the freehand group ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with the traditional freehand method, the computer navigation system assisted transiliac-transsacral screws internal fixation in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring injuries has advantages of improving the accuracy of screw implantation and reducing radiation damage and the time of screw implantation.

Objective:To compare the biomechanical differences of dynamic condylar screw (DCS), locking compression plate (LCP) combined with DCS and medial anatomic buttress plate (MABP) combined with DCS in the revision of medial defective intertrochanteric fractures by finite element analysis.Methods:The femoral CT imaging data provided by a healthy adult volunteer were used to reconstruct the solid three-dimensional model of femur by Mimics 21.0 and Geomagics Studio 12. Evans-Jensen II B intertrochanteric fracture was established by Ansys Workbench18.0. The three-dimensional models of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA), DCS, LCP and MABP were reconstructed in Solidworks 2015. The PFNA was assembled with the fracture model, and then the PFNA was removed to establish the postoperative failure model of femoral intertrochanteric fracture and then simulated the fixation in the hip-preserving revision surgery of femoral intertrochanteric fractures: non-medial support reconstruction group (DCS); indirect medial support reconstruction group (DCS+LCP) and partial direct medial support reconstruction group (DCS+MABP). Finally, the forces on the hip joint of 70 kg normal people during standing (700 N), slow walking (1,400 N), brisk walking (1,750 N) and going up and down stairs (2,100 N) were simulated in Abaqus 6.14, the relative displacement and stress peak value of fracture end and stress distribution and stress peak value of internal fixation in different models were recorded.Results:At 700 N axial load, the relative displacement of fracture end fixed by DCS, DCS+LCP and DCS+MABP was 0.28, 0.13 and 0.09 mm; the peak stress of the fracture end was 49.01, 15.29 and 1.35 MPa; the peak stress of internal fixation was 230, 220 and 174 MPa, respectively. At 1,400 N axial load, the relative displacement of the fracture end of the three internal fixation methods was 0.56, 0.24 and 0.16 mm; the peak stress of fracture end was 108.49, 28.96 and 3.12 MPa; the peak stress of internal fixation was 469, 352 and 324 MPa, respectively. At 1,750 N axial load, the relative displacement of the fracture end of the three group was 0.70, 0.30 and 0.20 mm; the peak stress of the fracture end was 139.59, 37.57 and 4.17 MPa; the peak stress of internal fixation was 594, 421 and 393 MPa, respectively. At 2,100 N axial load, the relative displacement of the fracture end of the three internal fixation methods was 0.85, 0.35 and 0.23 mm; the peak stress of the fracture end was 170.05, 46.36 and 5.24 MPa; the peak stress of internal fixation was 724, 504 and 460 MPa, respectively.Conclusion:The partial direct reconstruction of medial support under the neck by DCS+MABP may have better biomechanical properties in the revision of medial defective intertrochanteric fractures.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of programmed death-1(PD-1)inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with metastatic bladder cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 77 cases of metastatic bladder cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to October 2022. According to the different clinical treatment regimens, they were divided into two groups. Patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) regimen were referred to as IGC group, and patients who received GC chemotherapy alone were referred to as GC group. There were 24 cases in IGC group, including 18 males and 6 females, with a median age of 60 (56, 67) years old. Seventeen cases had a history of smoking. Fifteen cases had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 and 9 cases had a score of 1. Twenty-three cases suffered distant metastasis (stage M 1). Two cases suffered lymph node metastasis only, 6 cases with liver metastasis, 8 cases with lung metastasis, and 8 cases with bone metastasis. There were 53 cases in GC group, including 45 males and 8 females, with a median age of 63 (55, 69) years old. Thirty-one cases had a history of smoking. Thirty cases had an ECOG score of 0 and 23 cases had a score of 1, 48 cases suffered stage M 1, 2 cases suffered lymph node metastasis only. Nineteen cases suffered liver metastasis. Twenty-seven cases suffered lung metastasis. And 23 cases suffered bone metastasis. There was no statistically significant difference in the above general information between the two groups ( P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curves, and the difference of median progression-free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) between the two groups was compared by log-rank test. Finally, the difference in adverse reactions between the two groups was compared. Results:The objective response rate (ORR) was 41.7% and the disease control rate (DCR) was 87.5% in the IGC group.As a comparison, the ORR was 43.4% and the DCR was 83.0% in the GC group. The differences in ORR ( P=0.887) and DCR ( P=0.871) between the two groups were not statistically significant. All patients were followed up for 3 to 45 months, with a median follow-up time of 24 (14, 43) months. The mPFS was 7.0 (95% CI 5.7-8.3) months in the GC group and 8.0 (95% CI 3.0-13.1) months in the IGC group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( P=0.026). The mOS of patients in the GC group was 16.0 (95% CI 14.4-17.6) months, the mOS was not yet reached in the IGC group, and patients in the IGC group had longer mOS with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.022). All patients experienced treatment-related adverse reactions. Grade 3-4 adverse reactions occurred in 8 cases (33.3%) in the IGC group and in 16 cases (30.2%) in the GC group, and no adverse reaction-related deaths were observed( P=0.992). The most common adverse reactions in both groups were anemia, including 18 cases (75.0%) in IGC group and 38 cases (71.7%) in GC group. There were 4 cases (16.7%) of grade 1-2 hypothyroidism in the IGC group but no patients with hypothyroidism were found in the GC group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.012). There were 8 cases (33.3%) and 4 cases (7.5%) of grade 1-2 skin adverse reactions in the IGC and GC groups, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.011). The immune-related adverse reactions of PD-1 inhibitors in IGC group were 1 case of hyperthyroidism (4.2%), 4 cases of hypothyroidism (16.7%), 1 case of adrenal insufficiency (4.2%), and 1 case of immune colitis (4.2%). Conclusions:Compared with chemotherapy alone, PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy for metastatic bladder cancer can effectively prolong the mPFS and median mOS. The adverse reactions of the two groups were tolerable, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of grade 3-4 adverse reactions. In general, PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic bladder cancer is safe and feasible, but attention should be paid to the immune-related adverse reactions of PD-1 inhibitors.

In the surgical treatment of hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, rectal cancer, anal fissures, or anal fistulas, inadvertent damage to the nerves or muscles responsible for bowel control may potentially lead to varying degrees of fecal incontinence (FI). Surgeons need to conduct preoperative assessments based on the patient's individual condition to select an appropriate surgical plan, aiming to minimize the incidence of postoperative FI and improve the patient's postoperative quality of life as much as possible while effectively treating the disease. Additionally, the proficiency of the surgeon's skills, appropriate preoperative dietary adjustments for the patient, regular bowel habits, and exercises targeting the pelvic floor muscles all contribute to reducing the incidence of postoperative FI in patients. For patients who have already developed FI after surgery, on the basis of suitable diet, regular bowel habits, and medication, clinical practitioners can adopt such methods as biofeedback, pelvic floor muscle exercise, sacral nerve stimulation, percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, acupuncture, injectable bulking agents, anal or vaginal inserts, transanal irrigation, surgical interventions, psychological support, etc., to individualized treatment for patients' conditions. This article, combining the literature, summarizes the current status of common diseases that may lead to postoperative FI. It elaborates on strategies for the prevention and treatment of postoperative FI, aiming to serve as a reference for peers in the field.

Objective:To explore which configuration schemes of proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) fixation with endosteal augmentation can provide the optimal biomechanical stability for treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures by means of finite element analysis.Methods:Based on the CT data of the humerus of an old female volunteer (78 years old, with a bone density T-value of -3.0), a three-dimensional finite element model of the humerus was established by digital medical software such as Mimics 19.0, Geomagic Studio 12, and Creo 2.0 ANSYS Workbench2019. Next, a model of unstable proximal humerus fracture was established and subjected respectively to 5 different fixations: simple PHILOS fixation (PHILOS group), PHILOS plus 6-cm fibula fixation with calcar screws (PHILOS-F-C-6 group), PHILOS plus 6-cm fibula fixation without calcar screws (PHILOS-F-6 group), PHILOS plus 9-cm fibula fixation with calcar screws (PHILOS-F-C-9), and PHILOS plus 9-cm fibula fixation without calcar screws (PHILOS-F-9 group). After a stress mode of shoulder joint abduction at 25° was simulated, a compressive load of 200N was applied to the 5 fixation models. The stress distribution and displacement of fracture ends in different fixation models were tested, and the biomechanical stability was compared among the 5 different internal fixations.Results:Under a shoulder joint abduction at 25° and a load of 200 N, the maximum stress and the displacement of the fracture ends in PHILOS-F-C-9 group (38.678 Mpa and 0.012 mm) decreased by 30.08% and 45.45%, respectively, compared with PHILOS-F-C-6 group (55.321 Mpa and 0.022 mm), and decreased by 12.48% and 15.38%, respectively, in PHILOS-F-9 group (77.012 Mpa and 0.033 mm) compared with PHILOS-F-6 group (88.106 Mpa and 0.039 mm). The maximum stress and the displacement of the fracture ends in PHILOS-F-C-6 group decreased by 37.21% and 43.59%, respectively, compared with PHILOS-F-6 group while decreased by 49.83% and 63.63% in PHILOS-F-C-9 group compared with PHILOS-F-9 group, respectively.Conclusion:For treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures with medial instability, PHILOS fixation with longer fibula endosteal augmentation plus insertion of calcar screws is a more appropriate choice which can reduce the stress of internal fixation and reduce the displacement of the fracture ends.
