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.

Pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is a rare and critical clinical syndrome with a poor prognosis. Its etiology is complex, with a significant proportion of cases having remained classified as indeterminate or cryptogenic PALF. With the application of high-throughput sequencing technologies, a spectrum of disorders caused by specific genetic metabolic defects and characterized by stress-sensitive Recurrent acute liver failure (RALF) has been gradually unveiled, collectively termed Infantile liver failure syndrome (ILFS). Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the subtypes ILFS1, ILFS2, and ILFS3 differ by involving aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase defects, vesicular transport disorders, and autophagy abnormalities, respectively, they share a common clinical phenotype of RALF triggered by fever or infection. This article has systematically reviewed the clinical phenotypic spectrum, molecular genetic characteristics, differential diagnosis strategies, and therapeutic advances of the three ILFS subtypes, with the goal of improving early clinical recognition and precise intervention, and providing an important reference for evaluating the prognosis of different subtypes.

[Objective] To investigate the non-pathological influencing factors of the unqualified alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the initial screening of blood donors in Changchun and the laboratory re-examination, so as to provide evidence for reducing the deferral of blood donors and the discarding of blood due to ALT disqualification. [Methods] The unqualified results of ALT from the laboratory of our center from September 1, 2023 to October 31, 2024 were collected. The unqualified rates of ALT were statistically analyzed according to the blood collection sites and the initial screening detection equipment. The samples after ALT pre-donation screening were tested in the laborator, and the unqualified rates of ALT in the initial screening and the laboratory, the non-conformity rate of the results and the distribution range of ALT values were statistically analyzed according to the blood collection sites and the initial screening detection equipment. A questionnaire survey was conducted on the blood donors before blood collection to statistically analyze the influence of the blood donors' living habits and diet on ALT test results. [Results] The statistical analysis of the unqualified rate of ALT in the laboratory showed statistically significant differences in the ALT disqualification rates among different blood collection sites and different initial screening detection devices (P<0.05). Comparison of the ALT unqualified rate for the same type of equipment at different sites showed that for Equipment 1, there were differences between the combined blood collection house and the whole blood house, and between the combined blood collection house and the blood donation vehicle (P<0.05); for Equipment 2, there were differences between the combined blood collection house and the blood donation vehicle, and between the whole blood house and the blood donation vehicle (P<0.05); there were no significant differences among other groups with the same equipment. The initial screening and the laboratory test results for the same samples were compared, with unqualified rates of ALT of 16.29% and 13.01%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the unqualified rates of ALT among different blood collection sites (P<0.05), but no significant differences in the ALT test results among different detection equipment (P>0.05).. The non-conformity rate between the initial screening and the laboratory results was 5.26%, of which 81.15% (99/122) were unqualified in the initial screening but qualified in the laboratory. There were statistically significant differences in those unqualified in the initial screening but qualified in the laboratory among different blood collection sites and different detection equipment (P<0.05). The median ALT level in the initial screening was 29.0 U/L (with a 5%-95% range of 14-75 U/L), and the median ALT level in the laboratory was 19 U/L (with a 5%-95% range of 8-65 U/L). The results of the questionnaire survey showed that 33.3% (2/6) of those who consumed alcohol within 24 hours before blood donation had unqualified ALT, and 10% (1/10) of those who stayed up late the night before blood donation had unqualified ALT. [Conclusion] The unqualified rates of ALT in the initial screening before blood collection and the laboratory re-examination of blood donors in Changchun are closely related to the blood collection sites, detection equipment, detection environment, detection personnel, samples, ALT thresholds and detection time. Drinking alcohol and staying up late within 24 hours before blood donation increase the risk of unqualified ALT detection.

Oral health is closely related to facial aesthetics, mastication, pronunciation, and systemic diseases. Flexible sensors can improve current deficiencies in clinical diagnosis and treatment through oral health monitoring. This paper reviews the research on and application of flexible sensors in oral health monitoring in recent years, providing a reference for the further development of flexible sensors in the oral field. The structural basis of flexible sensors includes a flexible substrate, stretchable electrodes, and an active layer, and each part is designed through material selection to adapt to the oral environment. The sensing mechanisms of sensors involve electricity, optics, electrochemistry, and immunology, among which electro-chemical, biological, and optical sensors are particularly prominent in the oral field. The monitored signals include physical signals such as orthodontic force, bite force, respiratory humidity, and implant temperature; chemical signals such as saliva metabolites and oral gases; and biological signals such as periodontal disease and oral cancer markers. At present, flexible sensors still face many challenges in this special oral environment. Future research directions include improving the biocompatibility, moisture resistance, and flexible fitting ability of sensors in the oral cavity; using temperature-insensitive materials and protective films to improve stability; and introducing artificial receptors and sensor arrays to improve factors such as selectivity. In addition, multi-disciplinary cooperation is crucial for breaking through current bottlenecks and achieving more accurate disease diagnosis and health monitoring. In the field of stomatology, finding specific biomarkers related to corresponding oral diseases is the key to sensor health monitoring. Through these efforts, flexible sensors are expected to gain more extensive applications in the field of oral health monitoring.

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) is a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor that recognizes multiple pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns. It is a cytoplasmic immune factor that responds to cellular stress signals, and it is usually activated after infection or inflammation, forming an NLRP3 inflammasome to protect the body. Aberrant NLRP3 inflammasome activation is reportedly associated with some inflammatory diseases and metabolic diseases. Recently, there have been mounting indications that NLRP3 inflammasomes play an important role in liver injuries caused by a variety of diseases, specifically hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury, hepatitis, and liver failure. Herein, we summarize new research pertaining to NLRP3 inflammasomes in hepatic injury, hepatitis, and liver failure. The review addresses the potential mechanisms of action of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and its regulation in these liver diseases.

Differentiated liposarcoma is a rare connective tissue malignancy in adults that mostly occurs in the extremities and retroperitoneum, with a tendency to aggressiveness and recurrence, and the ten-year survival rate of about 10%. Clinically, dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the pharynx has been reported to be rare abroad and only one case has been reported in China. Clinical symptoms are mainly foreign body sensation in the pharynx, which can be easily misdiagnosed as benign tumors. Pathological diagnosis is the main examination tool for this kind of disease, and immunohistochemistry and FISH test can help to differentiate it from other tumors. This article presents a case of a male patient with dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the hypopharynx, who had a foreign body sensation in the pharynx for more than 1 month, and underwent supported laryngoscopic pharyngeal lesion resection after completing the preoperative relevant examinations and postoperative radiation therapy, with postoperative pathology returned as dedifferentiated liposarcoma. The present postoperative follow-up was 12 months without recurrence. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and timely treatment are extremely important for the prognosis of this disease.
