Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for end-stage liver disease and can significantly prolong patient survival. However, patients usually have poor physiological and psychological conditions before and after undergoing liver transplantation surgery, which affects prognosis and reduces quality of life. Preoperative prehabilitation, through intervention modes such as exercise, nutrition and psychology, can improve patients' preoperative functional reserve, alleviate perioperative stress reactions, reduce postoperative infection risks and be beneficial for postoperative recovery after liver transplantation. Therefore, this article reviews the latest research progress on the timing and location of prehabilitation, the necessity of prehabilitation and intervention models for preoperative prehabilitation of liver transplant patients. The aim is to deepen the understanding and application of preoperative prehabilitation for liver transplant patients in clinical practice, in order to provide theoretical and practical basis for preoperative prehabilitation of liver transplant patients and improve their prognosis.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of a clustered outbreak of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS)as well as the ecological tick monitoring results for Zibo City, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies. Methods A case definition was cited before epidemic investigations were performed. Epidemiological investigations were performed on the index cases and their close contacts. Blood samples were collected from cases and close contacts, and quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to detect SFTS virus(SFTSV)nucleic acid sequences. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze risk factors and develop prevention and control strategies. Results This clustered outbreak involved two index cases and six close contacts with no deaths. Case A exhibited symptom onset on July 26. SFTS was confirmed on August 2. Case B exhibited symptom onset on August 1, and SFTS was confirmed on August 3. Patient B reported a recent history of tick bites. In both index cases, the incubation period for SFTS was inferred to be 7-12 days. The time interval from symptom onset to clinical diagnosis in the two cases ranged from 2-8 days, with an average period of 5 days. SFTSV nucleic acid test result were positive for both patients, whereas all six close contacts tested negative. All captured ticks tested negative for SFTSV using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The densities of parasitic and free-living ticks in the emergency monitoring area around the cases were 12.60 and 4.65 ticks/(flag·100 m). In 2024, the average parasitic tick index and free-living tick density index were 4.21 and 2.43 ticks/(flag ·100 m)in Yiyuan County, respectively. Conclusions No evidence of human-to-human transmission was found in the assessed SFTS clusters. The infections were likely acquired through tick bites during fieldwork, and the risk of a subsequent outbreak spreading was low.

With the rapid advancement of medical technology and the increasing complexity of clinical environments, competence in clinical ethical decision-making has become an indispensable core competency for exemplary physicians. However, traditional medical ethics education has long been confronted with the persistent challenges of theory-practice dissociation and the disconnect between pedagogical settings and clinical realities. Thus, how to construct a "Clinical Ethics" curriculum that aligns with the objectives of training high-caliber medical professionals has emerged as a critical and challenging issue in current medical education reform. To effectively address this challenge, the Office of Education at Peking University Third Hospital, since 2021, has assembled a multidisciplinary "Clinical Ethics" teaching and management team comprising faculty from Peking University School of Humanities and key clinical specialists from the hospital. In 2022, the "Clinical Ethics" elective course was formally launched for fourth-year students in the eight-year MD program who had completed coursework in "Medical Ethics" and organ-system-based curricula, with the aim of exploring and operationalizing a pre-clinical ethics education model tailored for senior medical students. The course employs a modular instructional design encompassing "theoretical review-case-based deliberation-clinical workshop", which effectively facilitates the deep integration of medical humanities with clinical practice.Following four years of iterative refinement through the "plan-act-observe-reflect" cycle, the course has demonstrated positive outcomes in enhancing students' ethical awareness and decision-making capabilities, and has preliminarily established a sustainable collaborative mechanism among the multidisciplinary faculty team. This article systematically delineates the course development background, pedagogical model and methodological innovations, and the multidisciplinary collaborative framework, alongside reflections and summaries based on implementation outcomes, with the intent of providing references for the future development of "Clinical Ethics" curricula.

ObjectiveTo analyze the protective effect of different types of influenza vaccines (InfV) against influenza A among the individuals aged between 3‒17 years old, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of influenza in the future. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect data on the incidence and InfV vaccination of the individuals aged between 3‒17 years during the influenza epidemic season from 2022 to 2023. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was calculated, and a log-binomial regression model was used to calculate the corrected VE. ResultsThe incidence rate of influenza in InfV vaccinated and un-vaccinated groups was 7.32% (1 937/ 26 446) and 9.65% (4 421/45 837), respectively. After adjusting for age and gender factors, the unadjusted VE (95%CI) was 54.57% (52.24%‒56.78%). The unadjusted VE (95%CI) was 53.66% (50.36%‒56.74%) for males and 55.60% (52.24%‒58.72%) for females, respectively. The unadjusted VE (95%CI) for the age group of 3‒ years, 6‒ years, 9‒ years, 12‒ years, and 15‒17 years were 64.08% (60.89%‒67.01%), 57.40% (53.71%‒60.80%), 57.77% (52.49%‒62.47%), 24.36% (9.49%‒36.79%), and 24.09% (-17.59%‒51.00%), respectively. The unadjusted VE (95%CI) for quadrivalent split-virion inactivated influenza vaccine, trivalent split-virion inactivated influenza vaccine, trivalent subunit influenza vaccine, and trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine were 53.84% (51.32%‒56.24%), 62.17% (56.28%‒67.26%), 79.83% (69.94%‒86.46%), and 31.59% (19.07%‒42.18%), respectively. ConclusionThe InfV used during the 2022‒2023 influenza season had a good protective effect against influenza A among the individuals aged between 3‒17 years old, especially in those aged between 3‒11 years old.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between physical activity and genetic risk and their combined effects on the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 318,085 biobank participants from the UK. Physical activity was assessed using the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The participants were stratified into low-, intermediate-, and high-genetic-risk groups based on their polygenic risk scores. Multivariate Cox regression models and multiplicative interaction analyses were used. RESULTS: During a median follow-up period of 13 years, 9,209 participants were diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. For low genetic risk, compared to low physical activity, the hazard ratios ( HRs) for moderate and high physical activity were 0.853 (95% confidence interval [ CI]: 0.748-0.972) and 0.831 (95% CI: 0.727-0.950), respectively. For intermediate genetic risk, the HRs were 0.829 (95% CI: 0.758-0.905) and 0.835 (95% CI: 0.764-0.914), respectively. For participants with high genetic risk, the HRs were 0.809 (95% CI: 0.746-0.877) and 0.818 (95% CI: 0.754-0.888), respectively. A significant interaction was observed between genetic risk and physical activity. CONCLUSION Moderate or high levels of physical activity were associated with a lower risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease across all genetic risk groups, highlighting the need to tailor activity interventions for genetically susceptible individuals.

Osteoporotic distal radius fracture (ODRF), a common fragility fracture in elderly patients, poses a significant threat to patients′ life and health due to its high incidence and disability rate. Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have accumulated extensive clinical experience in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of ODRF. However, there is currently a lack of specific guideline on how to effectively integrate the strengths of the two medical systems. To standardize the collaborative diagnosis and treatment of ODRF using integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, the Clinical Practice Guideline Working Group for the clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic distal radius fracture through integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine was established in September 2024, led by the Third Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University of Chinese medicine (Kunming Hospital of Chinese Medicine) with the participation of many medical institutions across China. Protocol for the guideline was then formulated to detail each key aspect in the development of the guideline and explain the related procedures, aiming to ensure a standardized, orderly and transparent development.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1)/programmed death receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors combined with chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).Methods:All randomized controlled trials (RCT) of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors for the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC from the establishment of the database to March 2025 were searched in CNKI database, Wanfang database, VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal database, China Biomedical Literature Service System, PubMed database, Cochrane Library database and Embase database. Literatures were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data were extracted. A network meta-analysis was performed using R 4.3.1 software to analyze the survival and safety of patients with ES-SCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy and chemotherapy±placebo first-line treatment.Results:A total of 8 RCT involving 3 832 patients with ES-SCLC were included in this analysis. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors included pembrolizumab, serplulimab, toripalimab, tislelizumab, adebrelimab, durvalumab, atezolizumab and benmelstobart, and benmelstobart combined with anti-vascular targeted drug anlotinib; the chemotherapy regimen was etoposide combined with platinum-based drugs. Except for durvalumab combined with chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone, the control group of the rest was chemotherapy combined with placebo. The included study data were complete and the risk of bias was small, and there was no closed loop in the outcome measures, so the consistency model was uniformly used for analysis. The results of network meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy benefited the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients (all P < 0.05), among which benmelstobart and anlotinib combined with chemotherapy had the best improvement in PFS ( HR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.25-0.40, P < 0.05), and this regimen could benefit the PFS of patients more than other PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy and serplulimab combined with chemotherapy could benefit the PFS of patients more than pembrolizumab, toripalimab, adebrelimab, durvalumab, and atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy (all P < 0.05). The results of network meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group, all PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy benefited the overall survival (OS) of patients (all P < 0.05), among which benmelstobart and anlotinib combined with chemotherapy had the best improvement in OS ( HR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.47-0.79, P < 0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in OS benefit between each PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy (all P > 0.05). Ranking of the efficacy of all interventions, the P-scores for PFS and OS were the highest for benmelstobart and anlotinib combined with chemotherapy, which were 0.99 and 0.89, respectively. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that, except for the higher risk of ≥ grade 3 adverse reactions in benmelstobart and anlotinib combined with chemotherapy group compared to the control group ( OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.09-3.73, P < 0.05), there was no statistically significant difference in the risk of ≥ grade 3 adverse reactions between the other PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy group and the control group, or between all PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy groups (all P > 0.05). Among all PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy regimens, the tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy regimen had the lowest incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse reactions, with a P-score of 0.70. Conclusions:For the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC patients, the combination of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and chemotherapy regimen has better survival benefits than chemotherapy regimen. Among them, compared with other PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, benmelstobart and anlotinib may benefit patients' survival more, but its related adverse reactions should be noted.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the prognostic nutritional index(PNI)and the prevalence of coronary heart disease(CHD)in adults.Methods:A cross-sectional analysis was conducted based on the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES)database.A total of 12,141 adult participants were initially included and divided into CHD group and control group according to the disease status questionnaire.PNI was calculated using serum albumin level and lymphocyte count.Multivariable logistic regression was applied to explore the association between PNI and the prevalence of CHD in adults.Subgroup analysis was conducted to assess whether this association remained consistent across different populations.A restricted cubic spline model was con-structed to clarify the dose-response relationship between PNI and CHD prevalence in adults.Results:Among the 3,894 adult participants,200(5.14％)had CHD.The PNI level in CHD patients was significantly lower than that of the control group[(49.20±8.59)vs.(51.57±4.80),P＜0.001].Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that,after adjustment for sex,age,race,marital status,body mass index(BMI),hypertension,diabetes and family history of cardiovascular disease,an increase in PNI was still independently associated with a lower prev-alence of CHD(odds ratio[OR]=0.92,95％CI 0.89～0.94,P＜0.001).The dose-response relationship indica-ted a negative linear correlation between PNI and CHD prevalence(P＜0.001).Subgroup analysis showed that the association between PNI and CHD differed significantly across BMI,hypertension and diabetes subgroups(P for in-teraction＜0.05 or＜0.01).Conclusion:Increasing PNI was significantly associated with a lower prevalence of CHD in adults,and this association was more pronounced in specific high-risk populations,such as those with obe-sity,hypertension,and diabetes.Our findings suggest that maintaining good nutritional status is of great significance in reducing the risk of CHD.
