Liver transplantation has currently become an important treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), significantly improving patients’ prognosis. However, liver transplantation still facing many challenges, such as donor sources, liver preservation technology, transplant rejection, biliary complications and postoperative tumor recurrence after HCC liver transplantation, which urgently need to be solved and optimized. With the development of new technologies, liver transplantation in our country is facing new opportunities and challenges. Domestic research teams actively respond to the needs of the times and continuously promote innovation and breakthroughs in the basic research of liver transplantation. This article reviews the cutting-edge progress in the field of basic liver transplantation research in 2024 and evaluates the important research achievements obtained by Chinese research teams in this field. The systematic sorting out of these research advances not only helps to promote the integration of Chinese characteristic liver transplantation research into the international academic system and the docking of Chinese liver transplantation research with the global forefront, but also helps researchers and clinical surgeons to fully understand the current status of basic liver transplantation research in China, provides a clear direction for future basic research, and thus promotes the vigorous development of Chinese liver transplantation cause.

Objective: To explore the relationship of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among middle schoold students in Tibet, so as to provide empirical references for improving the cardiorespiratory fitness and health levels of adolescents in Tibet. Methods: From August to December 2020, 1 225 junior and senior high school students were selected from 2 middle schools in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, using the stratified cluster random sampling method. Triaxial accelerometers were used to evaluate PA and SB behaviors, and the 20 meter shuttle run was employed to assess CRF among the middle school students. Isochronous substitution modeling was used to analyze the associations of SB, low intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with CRF, and the saturation threshold effect in the dose response relationship between MVPA and CRF was analyzed through restricted cubic spline and two stage linear regression. Results: After adjusting for covariates such as gender, body mass index and sleep quality score, isotemporal substitution analysis showed that among junior high school students aged 13-15, replacing 30 minutes of SB ( B =1.73) or LPA ( B =2.38) with MVPA were positively associated with CRF (both P <0.05). Among senior high school students aged 16-18, replacing SB ( B =0.99) or LPA ( B =1.38) with MVPA were also positively associated with CRF (both P <0.05). Restricted cubic spline and two piecewise linear regression analyses indicated that only middle school girls aged 13-18 exhibited a saturation threshold effect between MVPA and CRF (logarithmic likelihood ratio test=0.03), with the optimal CRF improvement observed at 60 minutes of MVPA per day ( B=0.13, P ＜ 0.01). Conclusions Reducing SB and LPA while increasing MVPA can improve CRF in Tibetan middle school students. To maximize CRF improvement, middle school girls should engage in at least 60 minutes of MVPA daily.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Huoxue Rongluo prescription （HXRLP） in repairing the blood-brain barrier （BBB） after ischemic stroke （IS）. MethodsMale C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham operation （Sham） group， cerebral infarction model （MCAO） group， environmental circadian disruption with cerebral infarction model （ECD-MCAO） group， low-， medium-， and high-dose HXRLP （HXRLP-L， M， and H） groups （8.5， 17， 34 g·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively）， and positive drug butylphthalide （NBP） group （0.23 mL·d^-1）. In the Sham group， only the exposed blood vessels were isolated without suture insertion. In the other groups， the middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） model of mice was prepared. In the ECD-MCAO group， HXRLP groups， and NBP group， the environmental circadian disruption （ECD） model was prepared. The mice in the Sham group， MCAO group， and ECD-MCAO group were given the same volume of soybean oil by gavage， while those in the other groups were given the corresponding drugs by gavage. Samples were collected after 7 consecutive days of administration. The mNSS score was used to evaluate the repair effect of HXRLP on neurological deficits after IS. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to assess the impact of HXRLP on the pathological damage of brain tissue after IS. 2，3，5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining and cerebral blood perfusion status were used to evaluate the repair effect of HXRLP on brain tissue damage after IS. Evans blue staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to evaluate the improvement effect of HXRLP on the permeability injury of BBB after IS. Immunofluorescence （IF） staining was used to observe the expression of von Willebrand Factor （vWF）， brain and muscle Arnt-like 1 （Bmal1）， and Occludin in brain tissue. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of Bmal1， Occludin， tight junction protein （Claudin-5）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， and angiopoietins（Ang）， and related analysis was conducted. ResultsCompared with the Sham group， the MCAO group exhibited significantly aggravated neurological deficits， cerebral infarction volume， brain pathological damage， and BBB leakage （P0.01） and significantly reduced cerebral blood perfusion （P0.01）. The expression of Bmal1， vWF， vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGFA）， and Ang in brain tissue was significantly enhanced （P0.01）， while the expression of Occludin and Claudin-5 was significantly weakened （P0.01）. Compared with the MCAO group， the ECD-MCAO group showed significantly aggravated neurological deficits， cerebral infarction volume， and BBB leakage （P0.01）， obviously worsened brain pathological damage （P0.05）， significantly reduced cerebral blood perfusion （P0.01）， and significantly decreased expression of Bmal1， vWF， VEGFA， Ang， Occludin， and Claudin-5 in brain tissue （P0.01）. Compared with the ECD-MCAO group， the HXRLP groups of all doses presented significantly improved neurological deficits， cerebral infarction volume， brain pathological damage， and BBB leakage （P0.01）， significantly increased cerebral blood perfusion （P0.01）， and enhanced expression levels of Bmal1， vWF， VEGFA， Ang， Occludin， and Claudin-5 in brain tissue （P0.01）. ConclusionHXRLP can regulate the clock protein Bmal1 and promote the expression of VEGFA， Ang， Occludin， and Claudin-5， thereby improving BBB damage after IS.

Objective: To explore the relationship between lifestyle and myopia and construct Nomogram model to predict myopia risk among primary school students in Tianjin, so as to provide a scientific basis for precision myopia prevention and control. Methods: From April to July of 2022, a census method was used to conduct vision testing and lifestyle related questionnaires among 373 180 primary school students in 15 districts of Tianjin. The relationship between lifestyle and myopia was analyzed by the multivariate Logistic regression, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed to predict myopia risk. Results: The detection rate of myopia among primary school students in Tianjin was 37.6%. The results of the multivariate Logistic regression showed that daily outdoor activity time of 1-2 h ( OR =0.94) and >2 h ( OR =0.84), time of using daily electronic devices of >2 h ( OR =1.03), daily paper materials reading and writing time of 1-2 h ( OR =1.02) and >2 h ( OR =1.09), weekly fresh vegetable intake of 2-6 times ( OR =0.93) and ≥7 times ( OR =0.88) were statistically correlated with myopia ( P <0.01). The Nomogram prediction model showed that the factors associated with myopia were grade, family history of myopia, gender, daily outdoor activity time, weekly frequency of fresh vegetable intake, daily paper materials reading and writing time, and time of using daily electronic devices time. Conclusions The lifestyle of primary school students in Tianjin is associated with myopia. The constructed nomogram model could provide a scientific basis for identifying key intervention populations for myopia prevention and taking targeted prevention and control measures.

Objective To identify lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction;To explore the intervention effect of Huoxue Rongluo Prescription.Methods Multi-chip combined differential analysis(GSE61616,GSE30655)was used to identify lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction in combination with Reactome database,and the expression differences of lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction were identified and verified in GSE97537 chip;Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of 51 cerebral infarction samples in GSE61616,GSE30655,GSE97537,GSE137595,GSE22255,GSE163614,and GSE78731 datasets;PPI,GO and KEGG analysis of lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction were performed through STRING database and R clusterProfiler package.SD rats were made to the model of cerebral infarction,and was administered with Huoxue Rongluo Prescription extract 11.7 g/kg by intragastric administration for 7 days.The symptoms of neurological deficit,the changes of Nissl bodies and the mRNA expressions of PLA2G4A,SPHK1,and PTGES key genes in lipid metabolism in cerebral infarction were observed.Results TSPO,CYP1B1,PLIN2,CH25H,PLA2G4A,ANGPTL4,PTGS1,SPHK1,and PTGES were identified as lipid metabolism genes in cerebral infarction,and were significantly highly expressed and positively correlated in cerebral infarction.Among them,PTGS1,PLA2G4A,and SPHK1 interacted with each other,which were the key genes of lipid metabolism in cerebral infarction;the lipid metabolism gene in cerebral infarction mainly exerted molecular functions such as oxidoreductase activity,iron ion binding,heme binding,etc.,mediating arachidonic acid metabolism,phospholipase D signaling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,involved in regulation of lipid metabolism process,fatty acid metabolism process,fatty acid derivative metabolism process.The symptoms of neurological deficit in the model rats with cerebral infarction were severe(P<0.001),and Huoxue Rongluo Prescription could effectively improve the neurological deficit of model rats(P<0.001).The Nissl staining indicated that the neuronal structure was abnormal and the number was significantly reduced after cerebral infarction(P<0.001).Huoxue Rongluo Prescription could increase the number of neurons(P<0.001)and repair the neuronal structure.RT-qPCR showed that the key genes of lipid metabolism in cerebral infarction were significantly higher in cerebral infarction(P<0.001),corroborated with the bioinformatics results,and Huoxue Rongluo Prescription could reduce the expression of key lipid metabolism genes of PTGS1,PLA2G4A,and SPHK1(P<0.001,P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Huoxue Rongluo Prescription can down-regulate the expressions of PTGS1,PLA2G4A,SPHK1,exert molecular functions such as oxidoreductase activity,iron ion binding,heme binding,and mediate arachidonic acid metabolism,phospholipase D signaling pathway,and VEGF signaling pathway.It participates in the process of lipid metabolism regulation,fatty acid metabolism,and fatty acid derivative metabolism,increases the number of Nissl bodies,improves the symptoms of neurological deficits,and exerts neuroprotective effects.

Objective Previous studies on the association between lipid profiles and chronic kidney disease(CKD)have yielded inconsistent results and no defined thresholds for blood lipids. Methods A prospective cohort study including 32,351 subjects who completed baseline and follow-up surveys over 5 years was conducted.Restricted cubic splines and Cox models were used to examine the association between the lipid profiles and CKD.A regression discontinuity design was used to determine the cutoff value of lipid profiles that was significantly associated with increased the risk of CKD. Results Over a median follow-up time of 2.2(0.5,4.2)years,648(2.00%)subjects developed CKD.The lipid profiles that were significantly and linearly related to CKD included total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),TC/HDL-C,and TG/HDL-C,whereas low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and LDL-C/HDL-C were nonlinearly correlated with CKD.TC,TG,TC/HDL-C,and TG/HDL-C showed an upward jump at the cutoff value,increasing the risk of CKD by 0.90%,1.50%,2.30%,and 1.60%,respectively,whereas HDL-C showed a downward jump at the cutoff value,reducing this risk by 1.0%.Female and participants with dyslipidemia had a higher risk of CKD,while the cutoff values for the different characteristics of the population were different. Conclusion There was a significant association between lipid profiles and CKD in a prospective cohort from Northwest China,while TG,TC/HDL-C,and TG/HDL-C showed a stronger risk association.The specific cutoff values of lipid profiles may provide a clinical reference for screening or diagnosing CKD risk.

Objective:To investigate the application of modified Hanley surgery in abscess of anal tube space (AATS), and its influences on anal function, interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6.Methods:The clinical data of 96 patients with AATS from February 2020 to February 2022 in Shaoxing Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 48 patients were treated with incision-thread drawing procedure (ITDP group), and 48 patients were treated with modified Hanley group (modified Hanley group). The curative effect, anal function, inflammatory factor level, neovascularization factor level and wound healing status were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the recovery rate between modified Hanley group and ITDP group: 100.00% (48/48) vs. 95.83% (46/48), χ2 = 0.51, P>0.05. The poor rate of anal function 2 months after surgery in modified Hanley group was significantly lower than that in ITDP group: 0 vs. 12.50% (6/48), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), IL-8 and IL-6 24 h after surgery in modified Hanley group were significantly lower than those in ITDP group: (127.11 ± 13.96) ng/L vs. (160.59 ± 11.57) ng/L, (92.20 ± 11.62) ng/L vs. (124.33 ± 12.05) ng/L and (79.38 ± 12.47) ng/L vs. (100.07 ± 12.50) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The monocyte chemotactic protein-1 1 week after surgery in modified Hanley group was significantly lower than that in ITDP group: (92.85 ± 14.63) ng/L vs. (122.90 ± 15.59) ng/L, the vascular endothelial growth factor-A and transforming growth factor-β 1 were significantly higher than those in ITDP group: (188.06 ± 22.53) ng/L vs. (137.80 ± 19.52) ng/L and (1 897.6 ± 97.3) ng/L vs. (1 608.6 ± 98.1) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The pain score, edema score and neonatal granulation score 7, 14 and 21 d after surgery in modified Hanley were significantly lower than those in ITDP group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Conclusions:In the treatment of AATS, the modified Hanley surgery not only contributes to the thorough removal of the lesions, but also plays a positive role in protecting the anal function, reducing the level of inflammation, and promoting the recovery of endothelial function.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of small incision floating line drainage for the treatment of high perianal abscess.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 95 patients with high perianal abscess treated at the Medical Community General Hospital of Shaoxing Central Hospital from April 2019 to April 2021. Among them, 47 cases were treated with small incision floating line drainage (experimental group), and 48 cases were treated with conventional multi incision drainage (control group). The surgical time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative pain, urination status, anal function evaluation, wound healing status and the clinical efficacy of the patient after 2 months of treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The surgical time, intraoperative bleeding volume in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group: (18.70 ± 0.48) min vs. (38.10 ± 2.52) min, (32.35 ± 3.56) ml vs. (51.56 ± 6.24) ml, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The postoperative pain, urination status, anal function evaluation in the experimental group were better than those in the control group. In the experimental group, multiple incision drainage had a greater impact on patients and the wound healing cycle was longer. After treatment for 2 months, the total effective rate in the experimental group was better than that in the control group: 100.00%(47/47) vs. 91.67%(44/48), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 4.09, P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with high perianal abscess and treated with small incision floating line drainage has a shorter wound healing cycle, less pain, lower anal damage, and better clinical efficacy.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of trichloroisocyanuric acid(TCCA)on the prolifera-tion of spermatogonia by inducing oxidative stress and ferroptosis.METHODS GC-1 cells were cultured in DMEM-F12 medium,and cell proliferation was plotted according to the growth curve.GC-1 cells were treated with TCCA at concentrations of 0(cell control),97,194,and 387 μmol·L-1 for 24 h.Cell viability was detected using the CCK-8 method,apoptosis cells were stained with Hoechst 33342,cell cycle was examined by PI staining method,RT-qPCR was performed to measure the mRNA expres-sion levels of apoptosis-related genes Bax,Fas,oxidative stress-related genes superoxide dismutase 2(SOD2),glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2),solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11),dihydroorotate dehydrogenase(DHODH),DNA methyltransferase 3A(DNMT3A),and DNA methyltransferase 3L(DNMT3L).The Griess method was used to determine the nitric oxide(NO)content,colorimetric method for the malondialdehyde(MDA)level,DCFH-DA fluores-cence probe method for the reactive oxygen species(ROS)level,DNTB colorimetric method for the reduced glutathione(GSH)content,and WST-8 method for the reduced coenzymeⅡ(NADPH)content.RESULTS Compared with the cell control group,the cell survival rates in the TCCA 194 and 387 μmol·L-1 groups decreased significantly(P<0.01),accompanied by nuclear condensation and fragmentation,a significant increase in apoptosis rate(P<0.01),and cell arrest in the G2/M phase(P<0.05).Additionally,in the TCCA 387 μmol·L-1 group,the levels of NO,MDA and ROS increased(P<0.01),while the levels of GSH and NADPH decreased(P<0.01).Moreover,the mRNA expressions of SOD2,GPX4,Nrf2,SLC7A11,and DHODH decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),while the expressions of Bax,Fas,DNMT3L,and DNMT3A increased(P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSION TCCA exposure reduces the viability of GC-1 cells,inhibits cell proliferation,induces apoptosis of GC-1 cells.The mechanism may be related to the ability of TCCA to enhance oxidate stress,induce ferroptosis,and interfere with the methylation of GC-1 cells.

BACKGROUND: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a severe congenital disorder characterized by vaginal hypoplasia caused by dysplasia of the Müllerian duct. Patients with MRKH syndrome often require nonsurgical or surgical treatment to achieve satisfactory vaginal length and sexual outcomes. The extracellular matrix has been successfully used for vaginal reconstruction. METHODS: In this study, we developed a new biological material derived from porcine vagina (acellular vaginal matrix, AVM) to reconstruct the vagina in Bama miniature pigs. The histological characteristics and efficacy of acellularization of AVM were evaluated, and AVM was subsequently transplanted into Bama miniature pigs to reconstruct the vaginas. RESULTS: Macroscopic analysis showed that the neovaginas functioned well in all Bama miniature pigs with AVM implants. Histological analysis and electrophysiological evidence indicated that morphological and functional recovery was restored in normal vaginal tissues. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the neovaginas had mucosal folds characteristics of normal vagina. No significant differences were observed in the expression of CK14, HSP47, and a-actin between the neovaginas and normal vaginal tissues. However, the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) was significantly lower in the neovaginas than in normal vaginal tissues. In addition, AVM promoted the expression of b-catenin, c-Myc, and cyclin D1. These results suggest that AVM might promotes vaginal regeneration by activating the b-catenin/cMyc/cyclin D1 pathway. CONCLUSION This study reveals that porcine-derived AVM has potential application for vaginal regeneration.
