MicroRNA-92a (miR-92a) is an evolutionarily highly conserved pathogenic microRNA that is a member of the microRNA-17-92 gene cluster and is involved in the regulation of biological activities such as cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Recent studies have revealed that disorders of miR-92a expression are associated with disease development and exert pathogenic effects mainly through the regulation of target genes or target proteins. The current research related to miR-92a is mainly focused on malignant tumors, and its high expression has been found to be associated with cancer cell malignancy and reduced sensitivity of tumors to radiotherapy. miR-92a targeting target genes or target proteins to cause disease and its relationship with radiotherapy has been a hot research topic in recent years. Based on this, This article reviews the latest research on miR-92a target gene or target protein pathogenesis and its impact on chemotherapy in order to provide targets for clinical disease treatment.
Amanitin-containing mushroom poisoning is one of the most harmful and lethal types of mushroom poisoning events. Its basic medical and clinical medical knowledge has not been fully understood and mastered, so the basic and clinical diagnosis and treatment of amanitin-containing mushroom poisoning has always been a hot research field of acute mushroom poisoning. This article focuses on the new progress in the epidemiology, toxicological properties, poisoning mechanism, clinical diagnosis and treatment of amanitin-containing mushroom poisoning, in order to provide the basis for further study, diagnosis and treatment of amanitin-containing mushroom poisoning for basic researchers and clinical medical staff.
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is one of the most important retinal vascular diseases in China that leads to severe loss of vision. In recent years, the emergence of various emerging imaging technologies and new drugs has not only deepened our understanding of the natural course of this disease, but also significantly changed the traditional treatment mode of retinal laser photocoagulation as the gold standard, thereby significantly improved the visual prognosis. However, currently in various regions and levels of hospitals in China, the diagnosis and treatment of RVO still rely mainly on their own experience. The awareness and knowledge of RVO among ophthalmologists in various regions still need to be improved. A standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment pathway is needed in order to meet the needs of most RVO patients. Led by the Fundus Disease Group of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Fundus Disease Professional Committee of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, based on the existing evidence-based evidence at home and abroad, and following the principles of consensus formulation, Expert consensus on clinical diagnosis and treatment path of retinal vein occlusion in China has been compiled. The consensus systematically and comprehensively elaborated a standardized diagnosis and treatment pathway for RVO. Interpreting the key points in this consensus is helpful to highlight the core ideas, and improve the utilization of this consensus by ophthalmologists from all levels of hospitals.
Based on the current situation of patients with retinal diseases in China and the clear requirements of the "14th Five-Year Plan for Eye Health (2021-2025)" to strengthen the construction of the prevention and control system for retinal diseases, experts in the field of retinal diseases in China have conducted in-depth and comprehensive thematic discussions, and used the modified Delphi method for collective decision-making and opinion solicitation, ultimately forming consensus and consistent guidance suggestions for the management of chronic diseases of retinal diseases that are in line with China's national conditions. This consensus includes key content such as definitions, treatment plans, and follow-up frequency for the management of chronic diseases of the fundus. It clearly proposes relevant measures to improve the management process of chronic diseases of the fundus, and elaborates on the advantages and feasibility of establishing an online remote platform for the management of chronic diseases of the fundus, in order to assist doctors in formulating personalized treatment plans and ensure that patients receive standardized treatment and follow-up. This consensus will provide guidance and reference for the management of chronic diseases and long-term standardized diagnosis and treatment of major fundus diseases in China.
ObjectiveExplore the impact of a digital-intelligence-based quality control platform for thyroid cancer on the effectiveness of clinical diagnosis and treatment quality management. MethodsThe digital-intelligence-based quality control platform for thyroid cancer at Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital was launched at the end of July 2022. In its initial phase, six quality control indicators related to the standardized diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer were deployed. This study analyzed the changes in these six quality control indicators between January 2022 and November 2023, comparing data before and after the platform’s implementation. ResultsCompared with the period from January to July 2022 (prior to the platform’s launch), the rates of preoperative cytopathological examination (t=–8.490, P<0.001) and postoperative pTNM staging for thyroid cancer patients (t=–3.027, P=0.013) increased from July to November 2023 (one year post-launch). However, the proportion of minimally invasive surgeries among thyroid cancer patients (t=4.085, P=0.002) decreased. The linear regression model results indicated that, following the platform’s launch, there was a gradual increase over time in both the preoperative cytopathological examination rate for thyroid cancer (standard β=0.765, P=0.001) and the postoperative pTNM staging rate (standard β=0.499, P=0.049). ConclusionPreliminary results of this study suggest that the thyroid cancer digital-intelligence-based quality control platform developed by our team can effectively enhance the standardized quality control of clinical diagnosis and treatment for thyroid cancer.
