Ruijin team achieves breakthrough in pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine: How to solve the two key problems of the "king of cancer"?
Ruijin team achieves breakthrough in pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine: How to solve the two key problems of the "king of cancer"?

Pancreatic cancer, known as the "king of cancer", has become a major problem in the medical community due to its hidden onset, low early diagnosis rate, rapid progression, and extremely poor prognosis. In the past 10 years, the incidence of pancreatic cancer in China has increased year by year. The vast majority of patients are already in the middle and late stages when diagnosed, and the average survival time of advanced patients is only about 6 months. In order to further explore the research status and development trends in the field of pancreatic diseases and provide more guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment practices, the 2024 Ruijin Pancreatic Tumor Academic Conference and the Yangtze River Delta Pancreatic Tumor Alliance Annual Meeting, co-organized by Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Ruijin Hospital Pancreatic Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center, and the Yangtze River Delta Pancreatic Tumor Alliance, was held today. Shen Baiyong, chairman of the conference and vice president of Ruijin Hospital, introduced that during this meeting, 22 new units joined the Yangtze River Delta Pancreatic Tumor Alliance.

Liver cancer intervention combined with "cocktail therapy" can significantly prolong the survival time of advanced patients
Liver cancer intervention combined with "cocktail therapy" can significantly prolong the survival time of advanced patients

Liver cancer has an insidious onset, and only about 20% of patients can undergo surgical resection when clinically discovered. The team of Professor Xia Jinglin from the Department of Hepatic Oncology at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University has proposed a "cocktail therapy" for liver cancer, and recently published a research paper titled "Synergistic immunochemotherapy targeting the SAMD4B-APOA2-PD-L1 axis to enhance anti-tumor immunity in hepatocellular carcinoma" in the journal Cell Death and Disease on the effects of cocktail therapy against liver cancer and its mechanism of action. It is reported that drug treatments for liver cancer include hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, targeted combined immunotherapy, dual immunotherapy, etc. These methods can prolong the survival of patients with advanced liver cancer to a certain extent, but the results are not generally ideal, and there are many side effects, high costs, and inconvenient treatment.

To protect the health of Diqing people throughout their life cycle, Ruijin Medical Aid Yunnan Team plans to build a plateau chronic disease management center

Diqing Prefecture is located in a high-altitude, cold and oxygen-deficient area, and the average life expectancy in Diqing Prefecture is 14 years less than that in Shanghai. This is mainly related to the high incidence of plateau chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuric acid, hyperglycemia, hyperhomocysteine, sleep breathing disorders, polycythemia, pulmonary hypertension, plateau heart disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, which have not received enough attention and standardized management. The "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline proposes "co-construction and sharing, health for all", and clearly states that the core is centered on people's health. Under the guidance of the "Healthy China" strategy, China's medical industry is undergoing a transformation from providing traditional medical insurance to providing intelligent and customized health services. To this end, the medical aid team from Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine helped Diqing Prefecture People's Hospital to prepare for the establishment of plateau chronic diseases.

Higher resolution: The world's first photon CT is now available at Ruijin Hospital, with lower radiation

The world's first photon counting CT has been officially put into operation at Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, which means opportunities for early and accurate diagnosis of diseases. This photon CT uses cadmium telluride, a new type of semiconductor, as the material of the photon counting CT detector for the first time, which has doubled the X-ray dose efficiency and achieved a significant reduction in the radiation dose of CT examinations. The spatial resolution has been improved to the micron level, and the image quality has been improved, providing a new tool for "early diagnosis and early treatment" of diseases. Breaking through technical bottlenecks to make CT examinations more accurate and safer CT has become a commonly used examination equipment in medical institutions. Because the solid scintillation crystal detector used in traditional CT obtains images through indirect conversion, current CT technology still faces problems such as physical limitations of the detector pixel size.

To give new life to terminally ill patients, Shanghai experts performed the world's first "abandoned liver" liver transplant combined with ALPPS surgery

Recently, the liver tumor surgery team of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University has made a major breakthrough in the field of liver cancer diagnosis and treatment: it successfully performed the world's first "abandoned liver" liver transplant combined with ALPPS surgery for a 36-year-old patient with multiple liver metastases from colon cancer. This innovative surgery not only brings hope of treatment to patients, but also provides a new idea for solving the shortage of donor organs. In February last year, Ms. Chen was diagnosed with liver metastasis of colon cancer, and her condition remained severe after 12 chemotherapy sessions. In August, under the careful treatment of the team of Professor Xu Jianmin, director of the Department of Colorectal Surgery at Zhongshan Hospital, Ms. Chen successfully underwent a resection of the primary lesion in the colon, followed by a new round of 16 chemotherapy sessions and 1 interventional chemotherapy embolization. At this time, the metastatic lesions throughout the liver have gradually become resistant to chemotherapy drugs, and traditional treatments are ineffective.

Elderly people should beware of "heat stroke", 91-year-old man suffered a sudden cerebral infarction combined with a huge aneurysm: the plum rain season is coming soon

Many people usually believe that winter is the peak season for cerebrovascular diseases, and they should pay special attention to keeping warm. As the weather gets warmer, everyone gradually relaxes their vigilance. As everyone knows, stroke prevention in summer cannot be ignored, especially for high-risk groups such as the elderly and patients with underlying cerebrovascular diseases. Recently, a multidisciplinary team from Gongli Hospital in Pudong New District, Shanghai broke through taboos and successfully performed arterial interventional thrombectomy on a 91-year-old patient with a sudden stroke and a giant internal carotid aneurysm. A 90-year-old woman suffered a sudden cerebral infarction, and a huge aneurysm was hidden behind her. Although the 91-year-old Grandma Cao is old, she is clear-headed and self-care on weekdays. On this day, Grandma Cao, who had just finished dinner, suddenly became slurred and the right half of her body could not move. The situation was urgent. Fortunately, 120 quickly sent her to the emergency department of Gongli Hospital. The hospital's efficient "one-click

Shanghai experts "seed" blood vessels in the brain to help the child regain his life, and Uzbek children sought medical treatment across borders

Marian, a 4-year-old girl, suffers from ischemic moyamoya disease. Her parents brought her from Uzbekistan to Shanghai for medical treatment. She successfully underwent two craniotomies at the National Children's Medical Center and the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. Experts revascularized the brain and "seeded" the rich blood vessels in the dura mater and other parts to the ischemic parts of the brain to improve brain circulation. Just today, Marian, who was reborn, was successfully discharged from the hospital and set off for Uzbekistan with her family. Marian had symptoms of weakness in both lower limbs after crying many times a year ago. In mid-to-late March of this year, she suddenly had convulsions on her right limbs, and her movements were still limited after she stopped. The local hospital diagnosed the possibility of moyamoya disease and started drug treatment. A week later, Marian's other left limb and face convulsed, and her limb muscle strength decreased, accompanied by slurred speech and left-sided facial paralysis. This.

The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine brings new hope for precise treatment. The incidence of anorectal diseases is increasing year by year.

Today, the 25th Annual Academic Conference of the Colorectal and Anal Disease Professional Committee of the Chinese Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, hosted by the Chinese Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, announced that colorectal and anal diseases are a common but easily overlooked disease. With the development of society, the accelerated pace of life and the increase in workload, the incidence of colorectal and anal diseases has increased significantly. This not only brings huge physical and psychological burdens to patients, but also puts forward new requirements and challenges for clinical treatment. Crohn's disease is one of the chronic inflammatory intestinal diseases. The incidence of this disease is 20-40/100,000 people. In recent years, domestic and foreign reports have shown that the incidence of this disease continues to rise. About 50% of patients will have perianal lesions, of which about 55% are anal fistulas, and most of them are complex anal fistulas or recurrent fistulas. More and more patients present with perianal symptoms.

The neurosurgery team of Huashan Hospital took 10 hours to remove the metal rod, which was over 10 cm and inserted directly into the skull.

A metal rod over 10 cm long went straight into the cavernous sinus, a complex intracranial venous structure, from the root of Mr. Liu's nose, tightly "biting" the internal carotid artery and several important cranial nerves. Finally, under the nearly perfect treatment of a multidisciplinary team led by the Department of Neurosurgery of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, after a 10-hour operation, the metal rod was successfully removed without causing any neurological damage. The 35-year-old Mr. Liu was out of danger after the life-and-death catastrophe. Mr. Liu is from Zhejiang. When he was grinding metal parts in the workshop, he was accidentally stabbed directly into the skull from the root of his nose by a metal rod over 10 cm long. Although it was slightly painful, there was no other discomfort. His family rushed him to a local hospital. After seeing Mr. Liu's condition and the CT scan of his head, the doctor thought it was just an ordinary foreign body injury and planned surgery to make a small incision at the root of the nose and pull out the metal rod directly.

Modern people often suffer from "mental colds", and the incidence of mental anxiety and depression has increased significantly. Relevant data show that the current incidence of mental and psychological diseases in my country has reached 17%. Minor physical illnesses can be solved at the doorstep, but how can we detect the "signs" of psychological problems in time? Recently, the reporter learned from the Putuo District Health Commission that in the process of building a social psychological service system, the District Mental Health Center will take the lead in listing children, adolescents, and the elderly as key groups for promoting mental health. At the same time, the "prevention of disease and treatment of mental illness" port will be moved forward to provide a "mental health" umbrella for 1.2 million Putuo residents. There are professional psychological consultants at the doorstep. Where can I go for help when I have a mental cold? This is the confusion of many people. The small "Yuexin Pavilion" is set up at the doorstep of the community and has become a psychological consultant for Putuo residents, effectively solving this problem.

Traditional Chinese medicine has explained this clearly, so we should not drink too much milk.

Recently, in order to encourage Chinese residents to scientifically consume milk to enhance their physical fitness and prevent "hidden hunger", the Office of the National Nutrition and Health Steering Committee issued a notice with core information of "reduce oil, increase beans, and add milk". The core message points out that "adequate intake of milk and dairy products is beneficial to human health, especially to muscle and bone health. It is recommended to consume 300 to 500ml of liquid milk or an equivalent amount of dairy products per day. The actual intake of most residents in my country is currently Far lower than the recommended amount, more intake is encouraged..." According to Chinese historical records, as early as the Han Dynasty, the nobles of the Central Plains used animal milk as a tonic for the body. However, due to the pressure of ancient policies to protect farm cattle, traditional Chinese medicine could not incorporate animal milk and dairy products into the health care system of ordinary people.

Or rewriting the concept of cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment, "Natural Medicine" published Ruijin's blockbuster results: Enterobacteriaceae predict healthy age

In the human intestine, there are trillions of intestinal microorganisms called gut flora. They are deeply involved in various physiological processes of the human body and are closely related to health or disease states. On June 6, 2024, Beijing time, the National Clinical Research Center for Metabolic Diseases of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and the Shanghai Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism Professors Wang Weiqing and Bi Yufang’s team collaborated with BGI Life Sciences Research Institute and BGI Genomics Zhihui Medical Research Institute published a paper in the journal "Nature Medicine", proposing the concept of "intestinal bacterial age" for the first time, believing that intestinal flora is an important factor in determining human age. This age is not based on human physiological age. In other words, older people with healthy intestinal flora will also look "younger", while unhealthy intestinal flora will make young people look younger.

Let the loving blood in the Yangtze River Delta region be truly homogeneous: Shanghai took the lead in establishing the "Four Unifications" joint internal audit mechanism

During the "May Day Holiday" in 2024, many scenic spots such as People's Square and the Oriental Pearl Tower welcomed a special group of tourists - while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Shanghai, they rolled up their sleeves and left their passion and love in the city. On May 1st alone, about 1,300 blood samples were collected, an increase of 20% from usual times. For a long time, Shanghai's medical level has been at the forefront of the country. It is a typical medical import city. The precious blood collected from mobile vehicles and blood donation houses eventually flows into patients. However, citizens often encounter such situations: their blood donation is "rejected" and they are told "unqualified" after blood collection. To this end, at the end of 2020, the blood management agencies of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Anhui jointly signed the "Yangtze River Delta Regional Blood Management Collaborative Development Cooperation Agreement." According to the agreement, led by Shanghai Blood Center and jointly
