Objective To analyze the distribution status of the end digits of standardized blood pressure measurement recordings in the clinic and the effectiveness of standardized blood pressure measurement for community hypertension screening. Methods The first visit blood pressure measurement data from the Community Health Service Center in Jing'an District, Shanghai from June 2023 to May 2024 were collected and analyzed. According to different measurement methods, the data were divided into two groups: standardized blood pressure measurement and conventional blood pressure measurement. SPSS 19.0 software was used for data analysis. The differences in the distribution balance of the end digits of blood pressure values and the detection rate of blood pressure elevation between the two different groups were analyzed. Results The frequency range of the end digits of blood pressure recorded values in the standardized pressure measurement group was 9.42% to 10.83%, and the detection rate of elevated blood pressure was 24.89%. The conventional pressure measurement group had a preference of the end digit ^"0^", and the detection rate of elevated blood pressure was only 2.12%. The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, season, and different blood pressure measurement modes were all influencing factors for the detection rate of elevated blood pressure. Conclusion The standardized blood pressure measurement mode in the clinic is suitable for community hypertension screening and pressure measurement, with higher data quality than the conventional pressure measurement mode.

Background/Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) following total hepatectomy is a life-saving treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC recurrence after LT hinders the effectiveness of the procedure. The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operative risk stratification model based on a liquid biopsy. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics study of 260 HCC patients from three centers, including clinical data, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma, as well as whole-exome, single-nucleus RNA, and spatial transcriptomics from matched tumor and non-tumor tissues. Results: We identified cfDNA-derived copy number alteration (CNA) signatures associated with post-transplant recurrence. By integrating cfDNA-derived CNA profiles with single-cell transcriptomic data, we traced recurrence-associated cfDNA to a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells within the primary tumor. These cells were embedded in a pro-metastatic microenvironment of specialized endothelial subtypes and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Notably, most recurrence-associated lesions were detectable in cfDNA prior to liver transplantation (LT). Building on these insights, we developed the ZJU Criteria based on CNA fragments and tumor markers, a pre-LT risk prediction tool that integrates conventional clinical factors with cfDNA-derived CNA signatures, and validated it using internal and independent external cohorts. Conclusion Our findings suggest that post-transplant recurrence commonly originates from advanced subclones that emerge late during tumor evolution. The ZJU Criteria provides an accurate, non-invasive strategy that significantly improves pre-LT risk stratification and clinical decision-making for patients with HCC.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of virtual reality (VR) combined with occupational therapy on upper limb motor function in patients with stroke. MethodsCNKI, VIP, Wanfang data, PubMed, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of VR combined with occupational therapy on upper limb motor function in patients with stroke. The search covered the period from database inception to April, 2026. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool version 5.1.0 and PEDro scale. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. ResultsA total of 15 studies involving 636 participants were included. The PEDro scores ranged from seven to ten. VR combined with occupational therapy significantly improved scores of Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (SMD = 0.64, 95%CI 0.28 to 1.01, P < 0.001) and the Action Research Arm Test (SMD = 1.22, 95%CI 0.88 to 1.56, P < 0.001)， while no significant differences were found in Barthel Index/Modified Barthel Index scores (SMD = 0.50, 95%CI -0.07 to 1.07, P = 0.087), Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test scores (SMD = 0.32, 95%CI -0.29 to 0.93, P = 0.308), or Box and Block Test scores (SMD = 0.50, 95%CI -0.43 to 1.43, P = 0.289). ConclusionVR combined with occupational therapy may improve the upper limb motor function in patients with stroke; however, its effects on activities of daily living, hand-movement speed, and grasping and object-transfer ability remain uncertain.

Introduction: Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome is a rare X-linked 46, XY disorder caused by androgen receptor dysfunction, producing variable genital ambiguity and complex diagnostic challenges in early infancy and childhood. Case: We report a term infant, currently aged 9 months, who was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at birth for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and noted to have ambiguous genitalia. The infant had no hypoglycemia, feeding intolerance, or electrolyte disturbances throughout admission. She is the second child of non-consanguineous parents, with no family history of disorders of sex development. Examination of the external genitalia revealed a prominent phallus without erectile tissue with mildly pigmented and rugated labioscrotal folds. There was no labioscrotal fusion. Bilateral gonads were palpable in both labioscrotal folds with one opening seen. Pelvic ultrasonography showed bilateral small testes within the labioscrotal folds, with absence of Müllerian structures. Karyotype analysis confirmed 46, XY genotype. Human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation (HCG) testing at day 7 of life demonstrated normal baseline testosterone 4.9 nmol/L, but minimal testosterone rise 5.4 nmol/L at day 4 post HCG. Normal testosterone to dihydrotestosterone ratio and testosterone to androstenedione ratio excluded defects in androgen synthesis, while normal adrenal steroid profile ruled out congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation at 2 months old revealed a peak follicle-stimulating hormone of 8 IU/L and peak LH of 4 IU/L. Anti-Müllerian hormone level was markedly elevated >328 pmol/L (normal 5.5–103 pmol/L). Whole-exome sequencing identified a hemizygous androgen receptor gene variant, p.(Pro818Ala), classified as a variant of uncertain significance with deleterious in silico predictions, consistent with X-linked partial androgen insensitivity syndrome. Conclusion This case highlights the necessity of early, systematic endocrine evaluation integrated with genomic testing in 46, XY DSD to achieve a definitive diagnosis, optimize sex assignment, and guide longitudinal, multidisciplinary management.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of MIR149 rs2292832 and MIR499 rs3746444 gene polymorphisms on the efficacy of tofacitinib combined with iguratimod in the treatment of moderate‑to‑severe rheumatoid arthritis （RA）， to provide genetic reference for individualized treatment of moderate‑to‑severe RA patients.METHODS This was a prospective cohort study， and patients were grouped according to genotyping results. A total of 320 patients with moderate-to-severe RA diagnosed in the department of immunology of our hospital between January 2023 and January 2024 were enrolled. All patients received standardized treatment with tofacitinib （5 mg twice daily） combined with iguratimod （25 mg twice daily） for 24 weeks treatment course. Clinical efficacy outcomes， including American College of Rheumatology （ACR） 20/50/70 responses， disease activity score‑28 based on C‑reactive protein （DAS28-CRP）， erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR） and C-reactive protein （CRP）， were compared among patients with different genotypes. Combined-genotype analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were also performed.RESULTS The MIR149 rs2292832 CC-genotype patients exhibited significantly higher ACR20， ACR50 and ACR70 response rates （88.90%， 67.78%， 45.56%） than those carrying CT- and TT-genotypes （ P ＜0.05）. After 24 weeks treatment， the reductions in DAS28‑CRP， ESR and CRP were significantly greater in CC‑genotype patients than in CT‑ and TT‑genotype patients （ P ＜0.05）， and the 24‑week DAS28‑CRP was significantly lower in the CC‑genotype patients than in CT‑ and TT‑genotype patients （ P ＜0.05）. The MIR499 rs3746444 GG-genotype showed significantly higher ACR20， ACR50 and ACR70 response rates （91.46%， 73.17%， 52.44%） than those carrying AG‑ and AA‑genotypes （ P ＜0.05）. After 24 weeks of treatment， the reductions in DAS28‑CRP， ESR and CRP were significantly greater in GG‑genotype patients than in AG- and AA-genotype patients and the 24‑weeks DAS28‑CRP was significantly lower in the GG‑genotype patients than in AG- and AA-genotype patients （ P ＜0.05）. Among the nine combined‑genotyps， the CC+GG genotype yielded the best treatment response. The MIR149 rs2292832 CC and MIR499 rs3746444 GG genotypes were independent predictors of clinical remission （ P ＜0.01）， whereas baseline DAS28‑CRP ≥ 6.5 served as a negative predictor of clinical remission （ P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS Gene polymorphisms of MIR149 rs2292832 and MIR499 rs3746444 significantly influence the therapeutic effect of tofacitinib combined with iguratimod in patients with moderate-to-severe RA. Patients carrying CC and GG genotypes achieve better treatment responses.

Objective On the basis of the theory of the tumor metastatic state, this work aims to explore the metastasis trajectories and peripheral immune response patterns in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving vital qi-strengthening and toxin-eliminating therapy (Fuzheng Juandu) and reveal the value of peripheral immunity in assessing vital qi deficiency during metastasis. Methods A retrospective study design was adopted. Patients with NSCLC admitted from January 1, 2018, to October 31, 2025 were enrolled. Data on metastasis status and peripheral immune indices were collected at the follow-up time points of one, two, three, and five years. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to fit metastasis trajectories, and the independent predictors of trajectory grouping were analyzed through multifactor and multiclassification logistic regression. Results A total of 184 patients with NSCLC were included, and three different groups of metastasis trajectories were identified, namely, the low-risk stable (46.74%, n=86), low-risk rising (13.59%, n=25), and high-risk stable (39.67%, n=73) groups. Univariate analysis revealed substantial differences in peripheral immune indices among the three trajectory groups. Multivariate analysis showed that TNM stage, absolute neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, absolute monocyte count, platelet volume, SAA:CRP ratio, and NLR were independent predictors of the low-risk rising group, whereas TNM stage, absolute monocyte count, basophil count, SII, and NLR were independent predictors of the high-risk stable group. Conclusion Under Fuzheng Juandu therapy, patients with NSCLC exhibit three distinct metastasis trajectories, each corresponding to a specific peripheral immune response pattern. Elucidating these peripheral immune response patterns may facilitate the objective quantification of the degree of vital qi deficiency, prediction of future metastasis risk, and providing an important reference for the individualized clinical implementation of Fuzheng Juandu therapy.

To systematically evaluate the impact of the "group-based " medical assistance program for Xizang, conducted by Peking Union Medical College Hospital, on the implementation outcomes of standardized residency training (SRT) at the Xizang Autonomous Region People′s Hospital, and to provide evidence-based decision-making references and policy optimization recommendations for medical education support models in border ethnic minority regions.

Purpose: Diagnosing sarcopenia necessitates the measurement of skeletal muscle mass. However, guidelines lack a standardized imaging modality with thresholds validated among Asians. This systematic review compared ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)/body composition monitoring in the detection of sarcopenia within Asian populations. Methods: PubMed and Embase were systematically searched for studies analyzing ultrasonography, CT, MRI, and BIA in diagnosing sarcopenia among Asians. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: Pooled findings from 21,598 patients across 25 studies were examined. In receiver operating characteristic analysis, ultrasound displayed a pooled mean area under the curve (AUC) of 0.767 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.709–0.806), with mean sensitivity of 81.1% (95% CI, 0.744–0.846) and specificity of 73.1% (95% CI, 0.648–0.774), for detecting sarcopenia in Asian populations. CT exhibited an AUC of 0.720 (sensitivity, 54.0%; specificity, 92.0%). MRI demonstrated an AUC of 0.839 (sensitivity, 67.0%; specificity, 66.0%). BIA displayed an AUC of 0.905 (95% CI, 0.842–0.968), 80.7% sensitivity (95% CI, 0.129–0.679), and 82.4% specificity (95% CI, 0.191–0.633). Conclusion Various modalities aid in diagnosing sarcopenia, and selection should be individualized. Although only BIA and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry are recommended by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia and the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People, ultrasound imaging may hold diagnostic value for sarcopenia in the Asian population. In certain groups, diagnostic use of CT and MRI is warranted. Future research can standardize and validate modality-specific thresholds and protocols within Asian populations.
