ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of different exercise interventions on metabolism and liver parameters in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and to provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical exercise rehabilitation. MethodsThis study was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines, and the protocol was registered on the PROSPERO platform, with a registration number of CRD42025641717. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Wiley Online Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP were searched for related articles published up to September 2024. The Cochrane tool for assessing risk of bias was used to assess the quality of articles, and Stata MP 17.0 was used to perform the network meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 57 articles were included, involving 2 648 patients. The results showed that aerobic exercise combined with resistance exercise had the best effect in improving body mass index (mean difference [WMD]=-0.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.66 to -0.28], P<0.05, surface under the cumulative ranking curve [SUCRA]=85.4) and triglycerides (WMD=-29.6, 95%CI: -46.66 to 12.54, P<0.05, SUCRA=87.3); resistance exercise was the optimal intervention method for improving total cholesterol (WMD=-15.99, 95%CI: -24.19 to -7.79, P<0.05, SUCRA=79.9) and glutamine transaminase (WMD=-8.08, 95%CI: -12.13 to -4.02, P<0.05, SUCRA=87.3); low-intensity aerobic exercise had the best effect in improving aspartate aminotransferase (WMD=-4.3, 95%CI: -8.45 to -0.15, P<0.05, SUCRA=73.5), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) (WMD=-3.26, 95%CI: -7.79 to 1.27, P>0.05, SUCRA=82.3), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (WMD=-0.6, 95%CI: -2.02 to 0.82, P>0.05, SUCRA=78.8); moderate-intensity aerobic exercise was the optimal intervention modality to improve Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (WMD=-0.92, 95%CI: -1.51 to -0.33, P<0.05, SUCRA=69.4). It should be noted that there were no significant differences in HbA1c and GGT across different exercise interventions (all P>0.05), suggesting that there was currently no sufficient statistical evidence to support that exercise could improve these two indicators. ConclusionBased on the comprehensive league table and cumulative probability ranking, aerobic exercise combined with resistance exercise, resistance exercise, and low- and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise may be the best exercise modality for improving key indicators in MAFLD patients, and targeted exercise modalities should be selected for intervention against different indicators; however, due to limitations of the original studies, further studies are needed for validation and exploration.

Purpose:
Dual anti–human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) drugs have become the standard regimen for neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NST) to HER2-positive breast cancer patients. However, the efficacy varies greatly among patients with different HER2 protein expression levels.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 575 HER2-positive breast cancer patients from multiple centers throughout China from 2013 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. We compared clinicopathological features in different HER2 immunohistochemistry classes (HER2 2+/in situ hybridization [ISH] + or HER2 3+), and their difference in response to NST and survival with single or dual anti-HER2 drugs. Drug sensitivity assays were used to evaluate different efficacy of anti-HER2 drugs in vitro.
Results:
Compared to HER2 3+ subgroup, the HER2 2+/ISH+ group had a higher proportion of hormone receptor–positive status (48.7% vs. 76.1%, p < 0.001), more HER2 protein loss after NST, lower pathological complete response (pCR) rate (46.07% vs. 16.24%, p < 0.001), and tended to have worse disease-free survival (DFS). In HER2 2+/ISH+ patients, treated with pertuzumab and trastuzumab in combination had no significant improvement in pCR (19.12% vs. 12.24%, p=0.287) and DFS (p=0.908) than using alone. Drug sensitivity assay showed poor efficacy with dual anti-HER2 drugs in HER2 2+/ISH+ cell lines; however, fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan drugs had a satisfactory effect.
Conclusion
Owing to the differences in clinicopathological features and treatment efficacy, we considered the HER2 2+/ISH+ group to be a distinct subtype and defined it as the HER2-moderate–positive subgroup. In this subgroup, dual anti-HER2 drugs did not exert significant improvement in pCR and DFS. Therefore, treatment optimization is warranted, with antibody-drug conjugate drugs as potential options.

Objective: To evaluate the operational efficiency of a single-center platelet genotype database in HLA genotype-matched platelet search and applcation, and to compare the efficiency among different matching strategies, hospitals, and between first-time versus repeat application modes. Methods: Data on platelet genotype-based matching applications from December 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026, at our center were collected. Four time intervals were defined according to the workflow: the time from clinical hospital application to blood center receipt confirmation (Δt
); the time from blood center confirmation to completion of platelet gene database search (Δt
); the time from completion of database searching to availability of compatible platelet products (Δt
); and the time from clinical hospital application to availability of compatible platelet products (Δt
). Applications were classified as first-time or repeat based on application history, and as speed-priority matching strategy or classical matching strategy based on matching approach, with efficiency differences compared across the groups. Results: A total of 1 051 valid matching applications were included. The median values of Δt
, Δt
, Δt
, and Δt
were 6.2 h, 0.1 h, 0.2 h, and 11.5 h, respectively. Overall, 55.9% of genotype-based matches resulted in compatible platelets being available on the same day. The median Δt
of the speed-priority strategy was significantly shorter than that of the classical strategy (5.2 h vs 39.6 h, P<0.001). Median Δt
differed significantly among hospitals (P<0.001), with the shortest being 4.4 h. The median Δt
for repeat applications was 6.9 h, significantly shorter than that for first-time applications (27.7 h, P<0.001). Conclusion: The platelet gene database demonstrates sufficient efficiency in HLA genotype-matched platelet searching and application to meet clinical demands. Optimizing matching strategies and hospital application workflows may shorten the time for obtaining compatible platelets.

To evaluate the design and implementation effects of the "Rapid Recognition and Management of Critically Ill Patients" course, and to provide a reference for the improvement of situational simulation teaching in emergency and critical care settings. All medical staff who participated in thiscourse training in June 2025 were enrolled as study subjects. The course adopted a blended teaching method combining online theoretical selfstudy with offline situational simulation. Multi-dimensional evaluation was conducted through theoretical assessments, skill assessments, and satisfaction surveys regarding the course and instructors. A total of 142 trainees were enrolled, including 103 clinical postdoctoral fellows (72.5%), 24 standardized training nurses (16.9%), and 15 standardized training resident physicians (10.6%). The mean theoretical examination score was 93.27±6.95, with statistically significant differences among different trainee categories (η2=0.346, 95% CI: 0.241-1.000, The course achieved preliminary and favorable training outcomes. Theoretical examination scores, skill assessment scores, and course evaluation ratings were mutually independent, reflecting distinct dimensions of competence and learning experience. It is recommended that theoretical and skill assessments be set as independent passing thresholds, and that targeted training be strengthened in the areas of arrhythmia recognition and ventricular fibrillation management.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Zuoguiwan on osteoclast activation induced by breast cancer and its mechanism. MethodsTo simulate breast cancer-induced osteoclastic bone metastasis, RAW264.7 cells were cultured in conditioned medium containing 50% supernatant of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. The dosages of Zuoguiwan used in the experiment were sera containing 5% and 10% Zuoguiwan. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was used to detect osteoclast activation. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure Cathepsin K secretion from RAW264.7 cells. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of osteocalcin (OCN) and bone sialoprotein (BSP). Immunoprecipitation was employed to detect the interaction between Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and core binding factor β subunit (CBF-β). Western blot was used to assess the protein expression of Runx2, phosphorylated Runx2 (p-Runx2), extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2), p-ERK1/2, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), p-p38 MAPK, and CBF-β. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the MDA-MB-231 cell supernatant group showed a significant increase in TRAP-positive cell counts and Cathepsin K secretion. Meanwhile, the expression levels of p-Runx2, Runx2-CBF-β interaction, BSP and OCN mRNA, p-p38 MAPK, and p-ERK1/2 proteins were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the MDA-MB-231 cell supernatant group, Zuoguiwan-containing sera significantly reduced TRAP-positive cell counts and Cathepsin K secretion (P<0.01), significantly increased p-Runx2, BSP and OCN mRNA expression, as well as p-p38 MAPK and p-ERK1/2 protein levels, and promoted the interaction between Runx2 and CBF-β (P<0.01). No significant change in Runx2 expression was observed. Compared to the blank group, the BVD-523 group showed significantly lower expression of p-p38 MAPK and p-ERK1/2 proteins (P<0.01). Compared with the BVD-523 group, both low and high concentration Zuoguiwan-containing sera groups showed significantly higher p-p38 MAPK expression (P<0.01), and the high concentration Zuoguiwan group also exhibited a significant increase in p-ERK1/2 expression (P<0.01), while no statistical difference was found in the low-dose group. ConclusionZuoguiwan inhibits osteoclast activation by inducing phosphorylation of the key transcriptional regulator Runx2 in intra-osteoclast bone formation, and this process is closely associated with the activation of the p38 MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.
