This is a single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial in adults with moderate-to-severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) who have no previous nasal surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using stapokibart for 4 weeks before endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), compared with placebo before ESS. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does preoperative stapokibart combined with endoscopic sinus surgery achieve better efficacy and comparable safety compared with surgery alone? * What influences four-week preoperative stapokibart administration has on pharmacodynamic data and intraoperative surgical parameters？ * Is there a correlation between the efficacy of four-week stapokibart therapy and postoperative recurrence tendency after endoscopic sinus surgery? Researchers will randomly assign participants to receive either stapokibart or a placebo (an inactive substance that looks like the study drug) for 4 weeks before surgery. All participants will have the same standard endoscopic sinus surgery and will be followed for 48 weeks to check polyp status, symptoms, quality of life, and adverse events. This study will provide evidence about whether short-term preoperative stapokibart improves surgical and long-term outcomes for adults with CRSwNP undergoing ESS.

This randomized controlled trial evaluates whether providing clinicians with AI-derived quantitative retinal information improves the quality and efficiency of retinal clinical assessment. Participating ophthalmologists and ophthalmology trainees will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The intervention group will write clinical reports with access to automated quantitative measurements generated from fundus image analysis, including multiple retinal structural and vascular biomarkers. The control group will complete the same reporting tasks using only the original fundus images without AI-generated quantitative information. All reports produced by both groups will be de-identified and independently evaluated by a separate panel of senior ophthalmologists who are blinded to group allocation. The expert evaluators will assess report accuracy, completeness, clarity, and overall clinical quality using predefined scoring criteria. The study aims to determine whether access to quantitative retinal biomarkers enhances clinicians' reporting performance and reduces reporting time during retinal assessment tasks.

This is a single-arm, phase Ib study involving HNSCC patients who had received first-line treatment with either PD-1 combined with platinum-based drugs or PD-1 monotherapy. The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Finotonlimab in combination with Stapokibart in the treatment of recurrent/metastatic HNSCC patients.

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is an Epstein-Barr virus-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma with high incidence in Asia and Latin America. Approximately 70% of patients present with early-stage (I-II) disease confined to the upper aerodigestive tract. Radiotherapy at 50-56 Gy is the standard curative treatment, but high-dose radiotherapy causes severe toxicities including oral mucositis and xerostomia, while radiotherapy alone yields high systemic recurrence rates. Previous studies have confirmed the efficacy of P-GEMOX induction chemotherapy, verified the feasibility of reduced-dose radiotherapy in patients achieving complete response after chemotherapy, and demonstrated the radiosensitizing effect of selinexor via inhibiting IRF3-BARD1-BRCA1-mediated DNA damage repair. Moreover, international evidence supports the efficacy of 40 Gy radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. Accordingly, this study hypothesizes that selinexor combined with 40 Gy reduced-dose radiotherapy following P-GEMOX induction chemotherapy can achieve equivalent efficacy to standard-dose radiotherapy, while markedly decreasing radiotherapy-related toxicities. This trial innovatively applies selinexor as a radiosensitizer in ENKTCL, fulfills the unmet clinical demand for efficacy-preserving toxicity reduction, and is well supported by preliminary data.

Primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCNSL-DLBCL) is a highly aggressive malignancy accounting for over 80% of primary CNS lymphomas, with an annual incidence of 0.4-0.6 per 100,000 people globally and a rising trend in immunocompetent patients. First-line high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy causes severe toxicities and nearly 50% of patients relapse within 1-2 years, developing relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease. Treatment options for R/R PCNSL are scarce, with low response rates, median survival of only 3-6 months, and 5-year survival below 5%. The blood-brain barrier and tumor heterogeneity further worsen outcomes. This prospective, multicenter, single-arm phase II study evaluates the efficacy and safety of pomalidomide, PD-1 inhibitor, and selinexor (PPS) in R/R PCNSL, aiming to provide a new effective treatment.

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is an aggressive EBV-associated lymphoma with poor prognosis, highly prevalent in China. Early-stage NKTCL achieves favorable long-term survival, while advanced disease shows dismal outcomes with no standard therapy. Notably, 10%-20% of patients develop secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (NKTCL-HLH), a life-threatening complication with median survival \<2 months and mortality over 90%. Current treatments fail to simultaneously control lymphoma and hyperinflammation, with poor tolerance and high resistance. The JAK/STAT pathway drives EBV-induced inflammation and tumor progression. Golidocitinib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, demonstrates potent anti-NKTCL activity and rapid inflammation control. Liposomal mitoxantrone offers targeted efficacy with lower toxicity, while etoposide, methylprednisolone, and pegaspargase provide synergistic anti-tumor and anti-HLH effects. This study proposes the novel MEPL-G regimen (liposomal mitoxantrone, etoposide, methylprednisolone, pegaspargase, golidocitinib) for NKTCL-HLH. By targeting both HLH and NKTCL, this combination aims to achieve rapid disease control, improve tolerance, and prolong survival, addressing the unmet critical clinical need for this high-risk population.

In this study, the antagonism of neostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, on continuous infusion of mivacurium during foot and ankle surgery under general anesthesia was investigated, and the appropriate time point of antagonism was explored.

This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an absorbable lacrimal sac drug-eluting stent placed at the osteotomy site during endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (E-DCR) in patients with recurrent chronic dacryocystitis. The stent is composed of absorbable polymer mesh coated with mometasone furoate to reduce postoperative inflammation and adhesion, maintain ostium patency, and improve surgical outcomes. A total of 40 patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either the absorbable stent or conventional packing with routine postoperative intranasal budesonide therapy.

This study investigates whether auricular acupressure can reduce postoperative emergence agitation among preschool children following adenoidectomy.

This study, led by Jie ying from the Ophthalmology Department of Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, is a researcher-initiated clinical trial (IIT) designed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of low-intensity red light therapy in adult patients with high myopia (spherical equivalent ≤ -6.00D) and extreme myopia (spherical equivalent ≤ -10.00D). With the escalating global prevalence of high and extreme myopia-especially in East Asia including China-and pathological myopia becoming a leading cause of irreversible blindness in Chinese adults, red light therapy has shown promising effects in slowing myopia progression in children but lacks clinical evidence for adult populations, which constitutes the core rationale for this research.

Based on the Tongren Myopia and Amblyopia Therapeutic Apparatus (a 650nm low-level red-light device) developed by the research team in the previous phase, the device was modified by replacing the light source with LED light. Subsequently, a population study was conducted to evaluate its efficacy and safety in myopia prevention and control.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Currently, the first-line treatment regimen based on R-CHOP can only achieve clinical cure for 50% to 60% of patients. Previous studies have shown that patients with high-risk factors have a poor response to R-CHOP treatment and need further improvement. These high-risk factors include: IPI score ≥2 points, ABC subtype, double-expressing lymphoma, double-hit lymphoma, CD5-positive DLBCL, MCD subtype, N1 subtype, A53 subtype, extranodal lesions ≥2, special site involvement, such as central nervous system CNS, breast, testis, ovary, uterus, bone marrow, vitreoretinal, paraspinal, paranasal sinuses and intravascular, etc. Patients with DLBCL accompanied by high-risk factors also have a significantly increased risk of secondary CNS infiltration during recurrence. In previous RCHOP+X research strategies, only the combination of polatuzumab achieved significant 2-year PFS benefits in the overall population. None of the other studies achieved significant PFS benefits in the overall population. Therefore, the latest version of the CSCO guidelines recommends the Pola-R-CHP regimen as the first-line treatment for primary DLBCL. However, there is still considerable room for improvement in the survival of DLBCL patients with high-risk factors in clinical practice. Therefore, the strategy of the Pola-R-CHP-based combined with X regimen in high-risk DLBCL patients with specific risk factors can be explored subsequently. The Phoenix study for young double expression of lymphoma patients, R - CHOP combined with BTK inhibitors can significantly improve the patient's survival, the subsequent omics data analysis indicates that MCD subtype, N1 subtypes and BN2 subtype can significantly benefit from BTK inhibitors. In addition, given that the proportion of MCD subtypes is high in most extranodal DLBCL patients and secondary CNS involvement is prone to occur, BTK inhibitors can effectively penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and have both preventive and therapeutic effects on CNS lesions. Therefore, exploring the application of BTK inhibitor zanubrutinib combined with R-CHOP or Pola-R-CHP regimens in high-risk DLBCL patients with specific risk factors (or zanubrutinib combined with rituximab and high-dose MTX in primary central nervous system DLBCL) has good application prospects. It is conducive to further improving the prognosis of such high-risk patients. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of the BTK inhibitor zanubrutinib combined with Pola-R-CHP regimen (or zanubrutinib combined with rituximab and high-dose MTX in primary central nervous system DLBCL, etc.) in patients of DLBCL with specific risk factors (IPI score two points or more, ABC subtypes, double expressor lymphoma, double hit lymphoma, CD5 positive DLBCL, MCD subtypes, N1 subtypes, A53 subtypes, extranodal lesions of 2 or more, special locations involved, such as the central nervous system (CNS, breast, testes).

This study focuses on treatment-naïve marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) patients and aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib combined with or without CD20 monoclonal antibody. This is a single-arm study without a control group. All subjects will receive orelabrutinib treatment but will be stratified based on disease stage and clinical characteristics into the following two groups: 1. Stage I MZL Patient Group (Monotherapy Group) Treatment regimen: Orelabrutinib monotherapy. Dosage and administration: Orelabrutinib 150mg, once daily (qd), taken continuously for 21 days per treatment cycle (d1-d21), for a total of 6 cycles (C1-C6). Target population: Patients with Ann Arbor Stage I gastric MALT MZL, including H. pylori-negative patients or those with unsatisfactory response after anti-H. pylori therapy, as well as other Stage I MZL patients unsuitable for local radiotherapy. Sample size: 50 cases. 2. Stage II-IV MZL Patient Group (Combination Therapy Group) Treatment regimen: Orelabrutinib combined with a CD20 monoclonal antibody. Dosage and administration: Orelabrutinib 150mg, once daily (qd), taken continuously for 21 days per treatment cycle (d1-d21), for a total of 6 cycles (C1-C6). CD20 monoclonal antibody (either Rituximab 375mg/m², intravenous infusion, Day 1 of each cycle, C1-C6; or Obinutuzumab 1000mg, intravenous infusion, on Days 1, 8, and 15 of Cycle 1 \[C1\], and on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6 \[C2-C6\]). Target population: Patients with Ann Arbor Stage II-IV non-gastric MALT MZL, nodal MZL, splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL), and other Stage II-IV MZL patients unsuitable for local radiotherapy. Sample size: 38 cases.

Clinical Trial The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of two types of Diverse Segments Defocus Optimization (D.S.D.O.) spectacle lenses in slowing myopia progression in children. It will also assess the safety of these lenses. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do D.S.D.O. lenses reduce the progression of myopia as measured by changes in cycloplegic refraction and axial length? What adverse events do participants experience when wearing D.S.D.O. lenses? Researchers will compare two optical designs of D.S.D.O. lenses (Intervention Group1: Design 1; Intervention Group2: Design 2) to determine their relative efficacy in controlling myopia progression. Participants will: Wear assigned D.S.D.O. lenses daily for 12 months (except during sleep or unavoidable situations). Attend clinic visits at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months for comprehensive eye examinations. Maintain a diary recording daily wear time, visual symptoms, and any adverse events.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a non-infectious chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa mainly mediated by immunoglobulin E after exposure to allergens in atopic individuals. The typical symptoms of AR are paroxysmal sneezing, watery rhinorrhea, itching, and nasal congestion, which may be accompanied by ocular symptoms, including eye itching, tearing, redness, and burning sensation, which are more common in patients with hay fever allergies. Bronchial asthma is associated with bronchial asthma in 40% of patients with AR, suggesting a comorbid feature of allergic disease.

Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia are common internal diseases, and all diseases are atherosclerosis risk factors. Previous studies applied color fundus photography to analyze retinal vascular changes (including exudation, hemorrhage, neovascularization, etc.) in patients with hypertension or diabetes, but the examination results could not be quantified. This study intends to apply optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to examine retinal vessels. This method has the following advantages: 1) It can quantify vascular changes, and 2) It is noninvasive and reproducible for patients' follow-up. This study was designed to investigate retinal vascular changes in patients with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia on OCTA. We will collect the patients' general information (gender, age), comorbidities, medications, blood lipids, blood glucose, carotid ultrasound, ankle-brachial index, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, color fundus photography, and OCTA results. We will follow up with the patients for five years and conduct the mentioned examinations once a year. We will also investigate the correlation between systemic atherosclerosis (such as coronary artery stenosis, and carotid artery stenosis) and retinal vasculopathy in patients with these diseases.

Ganyan -1 for the patients with dry eye

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) refers to a series of tumors that occur in the head and neck region, including the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, thyroid gland, and salivary glands. Malignant tumors of the head and neck account for approximately 19.9% to 30.2% of all tumors in the body, ranking sixth in incidence among all malignant tumors, with over 90% being squamous cell carcinoma in terms of pathological type. The treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is primarily surgical. Early-stage cases can achieve a cure through simple surgical resection or radiotherapy. For locally advanced and late-stage cases, a combination of surgery with radiotherapy or chemotherapy can yield satisfactory therapeutic effects. However, most patients with head and neck tumors present at a locally advanced (Stage III to IVB) or late stage, possibly having lost the opportunity for surgery and can only opt for a comprehensive treatment mainly based on radiochemotherapy. Current data show that with standard treatment, the 5-year survival rates for patients with early-stage, locally advanced, and metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are 80%, 50%, and 25%, respectively. Fifty to sixty percent of newly diagnosed subjects cannot be cured and experience recurrence or metastasis within 3 years. For patients with recurrent or metastatic disease after first-line treatment failure, the median survival time with chemotherapy is only 6 to 9 months, with a 1-year survival rate of 5% to 33% and a 5-year survival rate of merely 3.6%. Laryngeal cancer and hypopharyngeal cancer hold unique significance among head and neck tumors because they not only threaten patients' lives but can also significantly affect their quality of life, particularly the preservation of laryngeal function. Laryngeal function includes voice production, swallowing, and breathing, and the loss of these functions can lead to a severe decline in quality of life. Traditionally, surgical resection has been the main treatment for these cancers, but total laryngectomy can result in permanent voice loss and significant psychological and social impacts. Therefore, how to effectively control the tumor while preserving laryngeal function has become an important goal of treatment. PD-L1 is a key negative regulator of self-reactive T cells and plays a role in maintaining peripheral immune tolerance and suppressing autoimmunity in various ways, leading to T cell exhaustion and dysfunction, and allowing tumor cells to evade immune surveillance. PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies restore the function of tumor-specific T cells by blocking the binding of PD-1 to PD-L1, thereby enhancing antitumor immunity and are now used to treat a variety of tumors. The efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors as neoadjuvant therapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is not yet clear. However, given the good therapeutic effects of immunotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, induction therapy with PD-1 inhibitors is considered to have promising clinical application prospects. In summary, we hypothesize that compared with the traditional TPF (docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil) neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen, a PD-1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy regimen may be safer and more effective and easier to apply in clinical practice. At present, there are no reports of studies on the use of PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy regimens for locally advanced, resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients, either domestically or internationally. We plan to investigate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant treatment with PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy for resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients in China, to provide a basis for future neoadjuvant treatment regimens.

Recently, several biologic therapies have become available for treating chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, not every patient responds to these treatments. This clinical trial aims to develop a non-invasive predictive model to help determine how effective IL-4Rα targeted monoclonal antibody therapy will be for individuals with CRSwNP.

A prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled phase II study; Patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into groups according to whether they had received radical radiotherapy or postoperative radiotherapy in the past. Group A was the group that had not received radiotherapy in the past, and Group B was the group that had received radiotherapy. Group A was randomly given 3 cycles of pembrolizumab + chemotherapy (see P22 for detailed chemotherapy regimen) in the experimental group at a 1:1 ratio, followed by surgery. After surgery, the patients were stratified according to whether there were high-risk factors. The high-risk group received concurrent chemoradiotherapy + pembrolizumab maintenance therapy (up to 15 cycles), and the low-risk group received radiotherapy + pembrolizumab maintenance therapy (up to 15 cycles). The control group underwent direct surgery and received concurrent chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy after surgery. The total dose of radiotherapy was (high-risk group: 60-66Gy, 2Gy/time; low-risk group: 44-50 Gy, 2Gy/time) adjuvant therapy, and the radiotherapy time was within 2 months after surgery. Group B was randomly given 3 cycles of pembrolizumab + chemotherapy in the experimental group at a ratio of 1:1, followed by surgery and maintenance therapy with pembrolizumab after surgery (up to 15 cycles). The control group was given surgery directly, and observation/re-radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy was chosen by the doctor after surgery. The total dose of radiotherapy was (56-60Gy, 2Gy/time), and the radiotherapy time was within 2 months after surgery. The enrolled patients must be closely monitored for adverse reactions to chemotherapy, and the time, grade, treatment measures, and outcomes must be recorded. All patients received an examination after the end of neoadjuvant therapy, an examination after surgery, and an examination at the 9th week after the first radiotherapy, and then reviewed every 3 months for 1 year; after 1 year, they were reviewed once every 6 months for 3 years; the recurrence and survival data of the patients were recorded.

Bell's palsy is characterized by acute, unilateral onset that compromises function and esthetics, exerting a considerable impact on the social, professional, and psychological aspects of the lives of affected individuals. The objective of this study was to determine whether laser acupuncture therapy could relieve symptoms in patients with Bell's palsy.

This study pioneers a novel approach by integrating a new auxiliary chemo-immunotherapy regimen, which is then followed by an evaluation of the potential for surgical resection. For those patients who remain non-resectable, a tailored treatment plan is proposed, consisting of arterial infusion chemotherapy in conjunction with radiotherapy, succeeded by a series of immune checkpoint inhibitors. The efficacy and safety of this integrated therapeutic strategy are meticulously assessed, with the goal of enhancing survival outcomes for patients with T4bNanyM0 HNSCC.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for the patients with dry eye disease. Methods: The investigators enrolled 256 patients at Beijing Tongren Hospital. Patients completed questionnaires at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. OSDI score, TBUT, Schirmer I, CFS, SF36, DEQ5, and psychological status to evaluate the therapeutic effects. A difference of P \< 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

The main objective is to explore the efficacy and safety of Telitacicept in the treatment of refractory/recurrent anti-NMDAR and anti-LGI1 encephalitis. Through this prospective, single-center, open-label clinical trial, we aim to investigate the effectiveness and safety of Telitacicept in refractory/recurrent anti-NMDAR and anti-LGI1 encephalitis by add-on therapy of Telitacicept combined with traditional treatment.
