As the only effective treatment for end-stage diseases, organ transplantation has been facing core challenges such as shortage of donor organs, technical bottlenecks, and inadequate system construction. Based on the practical experience of the organ donation and transplantation team of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University, this article systematically reviews the pathways for the specialization of organ donation and the disciplinary development of Organ Procurement Organization (OPO). It thoroughly analyzes the innovative achievements in kidney transplantation, including key breakthroughs in the establishment of technical standards for donor and organ evaluation, preservation and repair, the research and development of mechanical perfusion repair systems, the creation of an independent human leukocyte antigen (HLA) detection platform, and the improvement of the rejection prevention and control system. Meanwhile, combined with the latest research progress at home and abroad, this paper discusses current issues in the field of organ donation and transplantation such as the utilization of marginal donors, multidisciplinary collaboration, and ethical norms. It proposes a future direction to promote the systematic disciplinary development with "Chinese Technology, Chinese Standards, and Chinese Solutions", providing a reference for the high-quality development of organ transplantation in China.

Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is an effective treatment method for various end-stage diseases. However, due to the need for long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection reactions after the surgery, SOT recipients are generally in a state of low immune function, resulting in a significant increase in the risk of infection. Post-transplant infection, especially infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria, is one of the common complications for SOT recipients and is also a major cause of graft dysfunction, graft loss and even death of the recipients. As the global situation of bacterial resistance becomes increasingly severe, the burden of infectious diseases continues to increase, seriously threatening the survival prognosis and graft function of SOT recipients. The exploration of new antibiotic research and rational application strategies worldwide has become crucial. The development and launch of various new antibiotics have provided more options for clinical practice. Therefore, systematically reviewing the drug characteristics of new antibiotics and their application status in this special population of SOT recipients is of great significance for guiding clinical practice and improving patients’ prognosis.

AIM:To analyze the efficacy of modified Zhujing formula combined with intravitreal ranibizumab(IVR)injection in the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration(wARMD).METHODS: A prospective study was conducted on wARMD patients at the Ophthalmology Department of Yulin Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2022 to October 2024. The study subjects were divided into the experimental group and the control group according to the random number table method. The control group received IVR treatment, while the experimental group was treated with modified Zhujing formula in addition to IVR injection. The clinical efficacy, TCM symptom scores, central retinal thickness(CRT), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), macular hemorrhage area, choroidal neovascularization area(CNV), ocular hemodynamic parameters [resistance index(RI), maximum diastolic blood flow(EDV), maximum systolic blood flow(PSV)], and 1-year recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: This study included 60 eyes from 60 wARMD patients. Among them, the control group consisted of 30 patients and 30 eyes, while the experimental group consisted of 30 patients and 30 eyes. The age of the control group was 67.52±3.12 y, with 17 males and 13 females. The age of the experimental group was 67.62±3.04 y, with 18 males and 12 females.The clinical efficacy of the experimental group(97%)was higher than that of the control group(73%)(P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of blurred vision, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, restlessness and insomnia, dizziness and tinnitus in the experimental group were all lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05); the EDV and PSV in the experimental group were both higher than those in the control group(both P<0.05); the BCVA, CRT, macular hemorrhage area, CNV and RI of the experimental group were all lower than those of the control group(all P<0.05), and the 1-year recurrence rate in the experimental group(3%)was lower than that in the control group(27%)(P<0.05). CONCLUSION:The combined use of modified Zhujing formula and IVR can effectively alleviate symptoms such as blurred vision and retinal hemorrhage in wARMD patients, improve vision and ocular hemodynamic conditions, and reduce the recurrence rate. This suggests that there may be a synergistic enhancing effect.

In order to further standardize the vaccination of kidney transplant candidates and recipients in China, the Branch of Organ Transplantation of Chinese Medical Association has organized experts in kidney transplantation and infectious diseases. Based on the "Vaccination of Solid Organ Transplant Candidates and Recipients: Guidelines from the American Society of Transplantation Infectious Diseases Community of Practice", and in combination with the clinical reality of infectious diseases and vaccination after organ transplantation in China, as well as referring to relevant recommendations from home and abroad in recent years, these guidelines are formulated from aspects such as epidemiology, types of vaccines, vaccination principles, target population, and specific vaccine administration. The "Guidelines for Vaccination of Kidney Transplant Candidates and Recipients in China" aims to provide theoretical reference for medical workers in the field of kidney transplantation in China, regarding the vaccination of kidney transplant candidates and recipients. It is expected to better guide the vaccination of kidney transplant candidates and recipients, reduce the risk of postoperative infection, and improve survival outcomes.

Viral infection has always been a significant challenge to human health. Transplant recipients, including those who have undergone solid organ transplantation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, are at high risk of viral infection due to their weak immune function under immunosuppressive therapy. Unlike the general population, transplant recipients are prone to pneumonia and even severe pneumonia after respiratory viral infection, which requires close attention from clinicians. Therefore, this article reviews the clinical characteristics and special management of viral infection in this population, focusing on the epidemiological features of common respiratory viral infection in transplant recipients, early diagnosis and intervention after infection, severe warning signs and drug treatment strategies, for the reference of clinical colleagues.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between lumbar disc herniation and vertebral bone mineral density(BMD)of quantitative analysis of computed tomography(CT).Methods:Eighty patients with lumbar disc herniation who admitted to Beijing Tongzhou District Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from May 2022 to June 2024 were included in the case group,and 30 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination in hospital were included in the healthy control group during the same period.The vertebral BMD of all subjects was quantitatively analyzed by CT.The data,lumbar BMD value,lumbar bone mass loss and osteoporosis distribution of the two groups were compared at baseline.Results:There were no significant differences in gender,age,body mass index(BMI)and abdominal circumference of baseline data between the case group and the healthy control group(P>0.05).The BMD value of the fourth lumbar vertebra(L4)in the case group was lower than that in the healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=1.991,P<0.05).There were no significant differences in BMD value and mean BMD(Lmean BMD)of the fifth lumbar vertebra(L5)between the case group and the healthy control group(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the lumbar BMD value of healthy control group between different genders(P>0.05),and there was significant difference in Lmean BMD between different genders in the case group(t=2.063,P<0.05),while there were no statistically significant difference in the L4 BMD and L5 BMD of the case group between different genders(P>0.05).The difference of Lmean BMD values of the persons with same gender(male,female)between the case group and the healthy control group were statistically significant(t=2.570,3.300,P<0.05).The ratio of normal lumbar bone mass in the case group was 48.75%,which was lower than that in the healthy control group(70.00%),and the difference was statistically significant(x2=3.974,P<0.05).The ratio of osteoporosis in the case group was 18.75%,which was higher than that in the healthy control group(3.33%),and the difference of that between two groups was significant(x2=4.172,P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the ratio of bone mass loss between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:CT quantitative analysis shows that the vertebral BMD value of the patients with lumbar disc herniation is significantly lower than that of persons of the healthy control group,which indicates that the decrease of BMD value might be related to the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation.

Objective Taking a tertiary Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)hospital in Beijing as an example,it explores the differences in service quality perception among medical providers in Internet-based diagnostic services,aiming to provide robust support for the digital transformation of TCM medical services.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 145 doctors who had diagnostic privileges on the Internet hospital platform of a certain hospital in September 2024.The survey focused on doctors'perceptions and satisfaction differences between online and offline medical service quality.Data processing and analysis were performed using EXCEL and SPSS 26.0 software,including descriptive analysis,reliability and validity tests,and rank-sum tests.Results 66.34%of the doctors recognized the Internet hospital platform established by the hospital,but the average satisfaction score(3.86)was still lower than that of offline outpatient service platforms,which was 4.59.Especially in the three dimensions of diagnosis and treatment,quality assurance,and psychosocial care,the perception of online service quality was significantly lower than that of offline services(P＜0.001).Despite this,82.76%of doctors were still inclined to recommend the internet-based diagnostic model to suitable patients.Conclusion Internet hospitals should establish a refined and intelligent platform system and rigorous service quality control standards to optimize doctors'online consultation processes.Comprehensive training for online consulting doctors should be strengthened.By improving the service quality of medical providers,the integration of online and offline services can be promoted to meet patients'demands for high-quality medical services.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of changes in serum total cholesterol (TC), chitinase protein-40 (YKL-40), and B7 homolog 4 (B7-H4) levels in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated with abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS).Methods:A total of 388 SAP patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical College from January 2022 to May 2024 were selected as the study group. They were grouped into the ACS group (227 cases) and a non-ACS group (161 cases) based on whether they had concurrent ACS. Another 215 individuals who underwent health check up were selected as the control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to detect serum levels of TC, YKL-40, and B7-H4. Spearman test was applied to analyze the correlation between serum TC, YKL-40, B7-H4 levels and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Status Scoring System Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ) score and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP)value. Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of SAP patients complicated ACS. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyze the clinical diagnostic value of serum TC, YKL-40, B7-H4 levels in SAP patientscomplicated with ACS.Results:The serum levels of TC, YKL-40, and B7-H4 in the study group were higher than those in the control group : (5.79 ± 0.81) mmol/L vs. (4.67 ± 0.57) mmol/L, (49.46 ± 7.51) μg/L vs. (36.82 ± 5.93) μg/L, (63.66 ± 11.23) μg/L vs. (52.85 ± 9.21) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The results of single factor analysis showed that time of stay in intensive care unit (ICU), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), blood amylase (AMY), APACHEⅡ score, IAP value, serum TC, YKL-40, B7-H4 levels and heart rate were the risk factors for ACS in SAP patients ( P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that the levels of serum TC, YKL-40 and B7-H4 were positively correlated with APACHEⅡ score and IAP value (the r value were 0.459, 0.511, 0.445 and 0.742, 0.794, 0.761, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that time of stay in ICU, APACHE Ⅱ score, IAP value and high levels of serum TC, YKL-40 and B7-H4 were independent risk factors for ACS in SAP patients ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve(IUC) of serum TC, YKL-40 and B7-H4 predicted SAP patients with ACS was 0.868. Conclusions:The levels of serum TC, YKL-40, and B7-H4 are higher in patients with SAP complicated with ACS, and their combined detection has better clinical value for SAP complicated with ACS patients.

After more than sixty years of exploration and practice, China has established an organ donation and transplantation system with distinctive Chinese characteristics, achieving a leapfrog development from technology introduction to independent innovation. Through systematic reforms such as formulating and improving legal regulations including the Regulation on Human Organ Donation and Transplantation, optimizing the China Organ Transplant Response System (COTRS), and comprehensively implementing voluntary citizen donation, the number of organ donations and transplantations in China has ranked among the top in the world. However, challenges remain, including a relatively low donation rate, regional disparities, and insufficient public awareness. In the future, efforts should focus on building a four-level coordinated organ donation management system at the provincial, municipal, county/district, and medical institution levels, strengthening the organic connection between primary healthcare networks and Organ Procurement Organization (OPO). Through systematic measures such as improving public education and awareness systems, optimizing the allocation of medical resources, and refining organizational structures, China aims to continuously increase the organ donation rate and promote the high-quality development of its organ transplantation, thereby contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to the global progress of organ transplantation.

Objective:To develop a scale to measure the sense of gain of the elderly, and to evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:According to the content of the sense of gain, combined with the literature research method and interview method, the scale entry pool was established.After the expert consistency evaluation and the optimal test assembly method (OTA) analysis, the formal version of the scale was formed.The stratified sampling method was used to select 1 043 community-dwelling elders for the survey, and the reliability and validity of the scale were evaluated by methods based on classical test theory.Results:The scale of elderly sense of gain, which was screened by OTA method, included four dimensions: health status, relationship and communication, social security, and ideal expectation, with a total of 17 items. The Cronbach's α value of the formal version of the scale was 0. 850, and the Cronbach's α coefficients of the four dimensions were 0.721, 0.772, 0.779, and 0.930, respectively. The CR values of the combined reliabilities of each dimension were all above 0.7. In terms of AVE values, except for the health status dimension was acceptable, the other three dimensions were all above 0.36. The correlation coefficient between the sense of health acquisition and life satisfaction of the elderly was 0.531 ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The developed scale for measuring the sense of gain of the elderly has good reliability and validity, which can be used as an effective tool for measuring the sense of gain of the elderly.
