To implement the Healthy China strategy, deepen the Healthy Shanghai Action, and innovate the health promotion model, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Shanghai Physician Association, today, the "Medical Art Integration, Four Seasons Elegant Collection" cloud based boutique salon concert is being held, which is also the first large-scale music therapy public welfare performance in China. According to experts from the Shanghai Mental Health Center, music therapy is a systematic intervention process that uses all forms of activities related to music as means, such as listening, singing, instrumental performance, music creation, lyrics creation, improvisation, dance, art, and other activities. It provides opportunities to express and vent inner emotions through music and language communication, and can receive mutual support, understanding, and sympathy, alleviate various psychological and emotional troubles and pains, and promote mental health.

The prelude to this music healing public welfare performance is "Qin Poetry Rhyme", allowing the audience to close their eyes and slowly enter a state of mind, experiencing the power of beautiful music from around the world in the beautiful overture. Afterwards, through four movements, the audience is opened up to embrace music, discover the beauty of life, listen to the dialogue between medicine and art, and achieve walking with beauty and accompanying love.

During the performance, there were original works by Ma Xiaohui such as "Qin Yun", as well as classic replays of the theme song "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The performance also includes immersive solo performances of erhu, ensemble performances of folk guitar, guzheng, pipa, percussion, and musical performances, allowing the audience to release pressure in beautiful and moving melodies. In the dialogue between medicine and art, musicians and artists share their personal experiences from different perspectives on the topic of music healing, explaining the principles and effects of music healing.

As the main producer of this concert, erhu performer Ma Xiaohui stated that people have experienced severe challenges in the past few years, with a sharp increase in stress, a general decline in sleep quality, and severe anxiety, which has affected their daily life and quality of life. I hope to use music to heal the soul through the combination of medicine and art, innovate and explore, so that everyone can continue to maintain their longing for a better life, pay attention to spiritual construction and "spiritual environmental protection".

The organizer stated that this concert is a new attempt to enrich the inner emotional world, re understand oneself and move towards maturity, transforming emotional and life experiences into aesthetic experiences, sublimating them, and ultimately becoming spiritual wealth. In the future, Shanghai will also try more diverse and innovative health treatment methods to protect the physical and mental health of more people, allowing more people to enjoy a high-quality and healthy life.

The event was co sponsored by the Shanghai Physicians Association, the Office of the Shanghai Health Promotion Commission, and the Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation, and co organized by the Shanghai Health Promotion Center, the Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation Ma Xiaohui Culture and Art Special Fund, J Hotel Shanghai center, and Shanghai Ma Xiaohui Culture and Art Co., Ltd.

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

The International Dental Implant Consensus Report, jointly written by the Ninth People's Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and renowned universities in the field of dentistry such as Harvard University, University of Zurich, University of Gothenburg, Columbia University, and University of Frankfurt, has recently been jointly published in top journals in the field of dentistry, including Clinical Periodontology and Clinical Dental Implant Research. This consensus has for the first time established an internationally unified core set of indicators for evaluating the clinical effectiveness of dental implants, covering the five key areas of the field of dental implants. It is of milestone significance for carrying out standardized clinical diagnosis, treatment, and research on dental implants. The core evaluation indicators determined by this consensus will become an important benchmark for scholars in the field of dental implants worldwide to conduct high-quality research.

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
