Objective To investigate the impact of intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion volume on the postoperative oxygenation index in lung transplant recipients. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of patients who underwent lung transplantation at Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from 2021 to 2023. Patients were divided into a non-severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) group and a severe PGD group based on whether their postoperative oxygenation index was>200 mm Hg at 0, 24, and 48 h. General patient data and intraoperative RBC transfusion volumes were compared between the two groups. A binary logistic regression model was constructed to explore the effect size (OR and its 95%CI) of RBC transfusion volume on postoperative oxygenation status at different time points (0, 24, and 48 h). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated to evaluate the model's diagnostic performance. Results A total of 351 patients were included (260 males, 91 females), with ages ranging from 20 to 77 years. The OR for the effect of intraoperative RBC transfusion on poor oxygenation was 1.486 (95%CI 0.982 to 2.248, P=0.061) at 0 h postoperatively, 3.111 (95%CI 1.793 to 5.399, P<0.001) at 24 h, and 1.583 (95%CI 1.026 to 2.442, P=0.038) at 48 h. This indicated that as time progressed, the postoperative oxygenation status of lung transplant recipients was affected by the intraoperative transfusion volume. Furthermore, an RBC transfusion volume>975 mLhad a significant impact on patient oxygenation at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. Conclusion The volume of intraoperative RBC transfusion has a significant impact on the oxygenation status at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. Intraoperative RBC transfusion volume is associated with the occurrence of severe PGD after lung transplantation. Controlling the volume of RBC transfusion during lung transplantation may help reduce the incidence of severe PGD.

Objective To investigate the expression and prognostic value of uncoupling protein 2(UCP2)and ubiquitin associated protein 2-like(UBAP2L)in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods A total of 94 patients with NSCLC who received surgical treatment in a hospital from March 2019 to March 2021 were selected as the study objects.The expressions of UCP2 protein,UBAP2L protein,UCP2 mRNA and UBAP2L mRNA in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of NSCLC patients were detected by real-time fluorescence quan-titative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry.The correlation between UCP2 mRNA and UBAP2L mRNA in NSCLC was analyzed by Pearson correlation.Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the differences in survival rates of NSCLC patients with different UCP2 mRNA and UBAP2L mRNA expres-sions,and multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of NSCLC patients.Results The positive rate of UCP2 protein and UBAP2L protein in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients was higher than that in adjacent tissues,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The expressions of UCP2 mRNA and UBAP2L mRNA in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients were significantly higher than those in adjacent tissues,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was a positive cor-relation between UCP2 mRNA and UBAP2L mRNA expression in NSCLC patients(r=0.721,P＜0.001).The expression of UCP2 mRNA and UBAP2L mRNA in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients was related to TNM stage and lymph node metastasis.There was significant difference in 3-year survival rate between UCP2 mRNA high expression group and UCP2 mRNA low expression group(P＜0.05).There was significant difference in 3-year survival rate between UBAP2L mRNA high expression group and UBAP2L mRNA low expression group(P＜0.05).TNM stage Ⅲ A,lymph node metastasis,UCP2 mRNA high expression and UBAP2L mRNA high expression were risk factors for prognosis of NSCLC patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion UCP2 protein,UBAP2L protein,UCP2 mRNA and UBAP2L mRNA are up-regulated in NSCLC patients,and UCP2 mRNA and UBAP2L mRNA are helpful to evaluate the survival prognosis of NSCLC patients.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disease, and extracranial-intracranial revascularization is the most commonly treatment for MMD. With the continuous development of imaging techniques, the perioperative monitoring methods for MMD patients have gradually become more diverse. However, Doppler ultrasound still holds an important position due to its convenience and non-invasiveness. This article reviews the role of Doppler ultrasound in the perioperative assessment of patients with MMD.

Early and accurate identification of patients at high risk for HE is crucial for guiding clinical practice. This article summarizes the imaging predictors for HE in patients with sICH, primarily focusing on non-enhanced CT and CT angiography, and briefly introduces various prediction models based on imaging features, in order to provide references for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of sICH.

Chest low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is a widely utilized modality for lung cancer screening and follow-up in high-risk populations, owing to its low radiation dose. However, the diagnostic accuracy of LDCT is significantly constrained by inherent limitations, including elevated image noise and reduced contrast resolution. The potential for deep learning technologies to address these challenges through data-driven LDCT image denoising approaches has been demonstrated. In this review, the advantages and limitations of deep learning models were introduced, including supervised, unsupervised, and self-supervised learning. The potential and challenges of these models in clinical applications were analyzed, thereby providing a reference for subsequent research and clinical practice.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurrent intestinal disease, and has become a major global health issue. Individuals with IBD face an elevated risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), and recent studies have indicated that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of both IBD and CRC. This review covers the pathogenesis of IBD and CRC, focusing on mitochondrial dysfunction, and explores pharmacological targets and strategies for addressing both conditions by modulating mitochondrial function. Additionally, recent advancements in the pharmacological modulation of mitochondrial dysfunction for treating IBD and CRC, encompassing mitochondrial damage, release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and impairment of mitophagy, are thoroughly summarized. The review also provides a systematic overview of natural compounds (such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and diterpenoids), Chinese medicines, and intestinal microbiota, which can alleviate IBD and attenuate the progression of CRC by modulating mitochondrial function. In the future, it will be imperative to develop more practical methodologies for real-time monitoring and accurate detection of mitochondrial function, which will greatly aid scientists in identifying more effective agents for treating IBD and CRC through modulation of mitochondrial function.

Liraglutide (Lira), a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist approved for diabetes and obesity, has shown significant potential in treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, its systematic molecular regulation and mechanisms remain underexplored. In this study, a mouse model of MASLD was developed using a high-fat diet (HFD), followed by Lira administration. Proteomics and glycoproteomics were analyzed using label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), while potential molecular target analysis was conducted via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western blotting. Our results revealed that Lira treatment significantly reduced liver weight and serum markers, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and others, with glycosylation changes playing a more significant role than overall protein expression. The glycoproteome identified 255 independent glycosylation sites, emphasizing the impact of Lira on amino acid, carbohydrate metabolism, and ferroptosis. Simultaneously, proteomic analysis highlighted its effects on lipid metabolism and fibrosis pathways. 21 signature molecules, including 7 proteins and 14 N-glycosylation sites (N-glycosites), were identified as potential targets. A Lira hydrogel formulation (Lira@fibrin (Fib) Gel) was developed to extend drug dosing intervals, offering enhanced therapeutic efficacy in managing chronic metabolic diseases. Our study demonstrated the importance of glycosylation regulation in the therapeutic effects of Lira on MASLD, identifying potential molecular targets and advancing its clinical application for MASLD treatment.

Human carboxylesterase 2A (hCES2A) plays pivotal roles in prodrug activation and hydrolytic metabolism of ester-bearing chemicals. Targeted inhibition of intestinal hCES2A represents a feasible strategy to mitigate irinotecan-triggered gut toxicity (ITGT), but the orally active, selective, and efficacious hCES2A inhibitors are rarely reported. Here, a novel drug-like hCES2A inhibitor was developed via three rounds of structure-based drug design (SBDD) and structural optimization. Initially, donepezil was identified as a moderate hCES2A inhibitor from 2000 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs. Following two rounds of SBDD and structural optimization, a donepezil derivative (B7) was identified as a strong reversible hCES2A inhibitor. Subsequently, nine B7 carbamates were rationally designed, synthesized and biologically assayed. Among all synthesized carbamates, C3 showed the most potent time-dependent inhibition on hCES2A (IC₅₀ = 0.56 nmol/L), excellent specificity and favorable drug-like properties. C3 could covalently modify the catalytic serine of hCES2A with high selectivity, while this agent also showed favorable safety profiles, high intestinal exposure, and impressive effects for ameliorating ITGT in both human intestinal organoids and tumor-bearing mice. Collectively, this study showcases a rational strategy for developing drug-like and serine-targeting covalent inhibitors against target serine hydrolase(s), while C3 emerges as a promising orally active drug candidate for ameliorating ITGT.

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)is a malignant tumor originating from the squamous epithelium of the oro-pharyngeal mucosa,accounting for more than 90％of oropharyngeal malignancies.In recent years,human papillomavirus(HPV)infec-tion has become one of the primary etiological factors of oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma.The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyn-geal squamous carcinoma has been rising annually,with a noticeable trend toward younger populations,posing a significant threat to hu-man health.Due to the distinct biological behavior and clinical characteristics of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma com-pared to its non-HPV-related counterpart,the diagnostic and treatment strategies for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma have undergone substantial changes.Prevention and screening for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma are of critical importance.The diagnostic and treat-ment process involves multi-disciplinary collaboration,including oral and maxillofacial surgery,otolaryngology,head and neck surgery,oncology,radiology and pathology.Based on evidence from clinical practice,a comprehensive,integrated diagnostic and therapeutic ap-proach has been established,centered around the concept of"prevention,screening,diagnosis,treatment,and rehabilitation",covering the entire patient lifecycle and providing a valuable reference for clinical practice.
