On the 19th and 21st, the Second Oriental Medical Conference, jointly hosted by the Shanghai Medical Association, the Internal Medicine Branch of the Shanghai Medical Association, the Surgery Branch of the Shanghai Medical Association, and the Shanghai Medical Journal, announced that interdisciplinary cooperation between internal and external medicine, strengthening comprehensive research in the medical field, and upgrading treatment methods will be the future trend, which is more beneficial for further improving disease efficacy and benefiting patients.

Wu Jinglei, President of the Shanghai Medical Association, stated that the Surgical Branch of the Shanghai Medical Association was established in 1947, while the Internal Medicine Branch was established in 1950. The two branches have made positive contributions to the medical development of Shanghai and even the whole country. Looking back at history, Shanghai is one of the birthplaces of modern medicine in China, and has always advocated the interdisciplinary development approach of promoting internal medicine and surgery. In recent years, the medical revolution has continued to deepen. With the promotion of informatization, artificial intelligence, and big data, breaking down disciplinary barriers and linking academic exchanges has become a common call in the academic community. The original intention of the Oriental Medical Conference is in line with the principle of "unity over time".

Academician Zhao Yupei, President of the Chinese Medical Association, bluntly stated that in the past few decades, China has been striving for excellence in the research of medical sub specialties. However, specialized doctors often have limited understanding of the progress in other medical fields, and there are limitations in lacking a macro grasp of the development trend of medicine. It must be said that this is a regret. The organic integration of internal and external scientific surgical content with disease organs as the core, focusing on the hot and difficult issues of medical development, should be the trend. The chairman of the conference, Professor Fan Jia, an academician of the CAS Member, and Professor Jia Weiping, an academician of the CAE Member, said that the ultimate goal of interdisciplinary cooperation in strengthening comprehensive research and upgrading treatment methods in the medical field is to improve medical standards and promote human health.

Several academicians expressed their opinions on the forum. Professor Liu Jie, an academician of the CAE Member, said that since the advent of AI, it has received extensive attention from scientists and the public. Artificial intelligence is an important driving force for a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. It is worth considering and exploring how to apply artificial intelligence to the medical field. Professor Gao Fu, an academician of the CAS Member, said that scientific and technological innovation faces new situations and challenges, and strengthening basic research is an inevitable requirement for scientific and technological self-reliance. The development of the medical field requires independent innovation, using achievements to interpret the original intention of "everything for the patient, everything for the patient".

Professor Fan Jia, an academician of the CAS Member, introduced that China has made great progress in the diagnosis, treatment and research of liver cancer in recent years. Molecular subtyping, intervention strategies, and minimally invasive surgical technology innovation have effectively improved the efficacy of liver cancer. Adhering to early diagnosis and treatment, standardized treatment, strengthening comprehensive treatment, advocating translational medicine, and emphasizing evidence-based medicine can benefit more liver cancer patients.

Professor Jia Weiping, an academician of the CAE Member, introduced the transformation case of the management model of chronic disease prevention and control and the experience of big data in promoting the integration of medicine and prevention and the whole process management of diabetes. She believes that moving forward, prioritizing health, and actively promoting health are more reasonable and efficient strategies to combat chronic diseases. In the era of great health, chronic disease prevention and control is a systematic project that involves collaboration among multiple fields and departments, and digitalization is a new trend in the development of chronic disease prevention and control and health management.

Why is "Cancer King" immunotherapy ineffective? Fudan Cancer Hospital Reveals New Mechanisms of Immunosuppressive Environment for pancreatic cancer CRIP1 | Tumor | pancreatic cancer

Immunotherapy has been proven to achieve significant therapeutic effects in various solid tumors. However, for pancreatic cancer, known as the "king of cancer", immunotherapy has been ineffective. On August 4, Professor Yu Xianjun, Dean of the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, and Shi Si, Associate Professor of Pancreatic Surgery released a research achievement, which first found the key role of cysteine rich protein 1 in shaping the immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, filled the gap in the research field of immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, and provided a theoretical basis for precise immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer patients. Ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is the main type of pancreatic cancer, accounting for about 90% of all pancreatic cancer. Due to its high malignancy and poor treatment effectiveness, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has always been one of the most malignant tumors. In recent years, the level of surgical techniques and comprehensive treatment has been achieved

A 14-year-old girl has been experiencing symptoms such as protruding pupils, incomplete eye closure, corneal injury, restricted eye movement, and overall fatigue for several years. The physical discomfort and facial abnormalities caused by eye diseases have made her increasingly reticent, and her temperament is vastly different from before. At the Ophthalmology Department of the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, the pupil has been diagnosed with a rare thyroid ophthalmopathy combined with myasthenia gravis, which requires prompt treatment. However, considering the young age of the pupil, conventional hormone and radiation therapy cannot be used. Therefore, Zhou Huifang, Deputy Director of Ophthalmology and thyroid ophthalmology expert, has developed a targeted drug combined with surgical treatment plan for it, and targeted drug treatment will be performed first. Three months ago, I was hospitalized for one week with mydriasis and received intravenous targeted drug treatment. Afterwards, I went home for observation and followed up on time

Recently, Catherine, a British girl born in the 1990s, received autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transfusion at the Cancer Center of Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital, and was successfully discharged from the warehouse. She is now on her way back to China after being discharged from the hospital. She is also the first patient at Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital to complete relevant treatments. In 2019, Catherine was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the UK, and after treatment, the disease completely improved. During her work and life in China in 2021, she went to seek medical attention due to multiple enlarged lymph nodes. Pathological biopsy confirmed a recurrence of Hodgkin's lymphoma, and through combined targeted drug treatment, her condition was temporarily under control. Last year in the second half of the year, when the disease recurred, the girl began to use immunotherapy combined with targeted drugs for treatment. Expert evaluation suggests that for young patients with hematological tumors, the risk of recurrence is high and treatment difficulty is increasing in the future. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell therapy is recommended
