Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury （RIRI） is a major cause of acute kidney injury during kidney transplantation and peri-operative settings， and there is still a lack of safe and effective targeted preventive and therapeutic drugs in clinical practice. Specifically， xanthohumol， luteolin， dracorhodin C， naringin， senkyunolide Ⅰ， verbascoside， and shikonin enhance antioxidant defenses， and inhibit lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis via the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 pathway. Apigenin， nobiletin， tanshinone Ⅱ A ， and salidroside activate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B pathway to inhibit mitochondria- dependent apoptosis and facilitate renal repair. Quercetin， methyleugenol， cyanidin-3-glucoside， and platycodin D promote autophagy and improve mitochondrial homeostasis through the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase（AMPK）/mTOR or AMPK/phosphatase and tensin homolog-induced kinase 1/Parkin pathways. In addition， hesperidin， curcumin， ganoderic acid， pulsatilla saponin B4， capsaicin， and diosgenin mitigate inflammatory responses and decrease renal tubular injury markers by inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor κB， high mobility group box 1， Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription pathways， thereby exerting multi-target， multi-stage renoprotective effects.

Objective To compare and analyze the changes in the use of lung cancer therapeutic drugs before and after the national initiation of health insurance negotiations, and to study the impact of a series of policies on the use of lung cancer drugs. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used analyze the basic situation of lung cancer patients and the changes of corresponding therapeutic drugs in Peking University People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020, as well as to the hospital procurement data of lung cancer therapeutic drugs in the database of the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. Results From 2014 to 2020, the total cost per capita of lung cancer patients showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, increasing before the national drug negotiation and gradually decreasing after the negotiation. After 2017, the use of small ATC categories such as VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors increased significantly, along with a rise in the number of monoclonal antibody varieties. The DDDs of osimertinib, anlotinib, alectinib, crizotinib and other drugs in the medical insurance list increased significantly, and the average daily cost decreased significantly. Conclusion The number of hospitalization days for lung cancer patients had continued to shorten in recent years, and the structure of drug use had changed significantly. The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog had led to more innovative lung cancer drugs showing the trend of volume up and price down.

Gastric variceal rupture and bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy are common and life-threatening complications in decompensated cirrhosis. As a minimally invasive interventional technique， balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration （BRTO） has made significant progress in the clinical management of gastric varices and hepatic encephalopathy in recent years. This article systematically reviews the technical principles， indications （e.g.， isolated gastric varices and refractory hepatic encephalopathy）， clinical efficacy （an acute hemostasis rate of 85% — 95%， a 1-year rebleeding rate of <15%， and an improvement rate of 60% — 80% for hepatic encephalopathy）， and safety （including complications such as renal impairment and elevated portal vein pressure） of BRTO. Meanwhile， this article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of BRTO and conventional treatment modalities （e.g.， transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and endoscopic treatment） and reviews the latest technological improvements in recent years， such as coil-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration and plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration. Future research should focus on the precision of patient selection （e.g.， stratification based on hemodynamic parameters）， the optimization of embolic materials （e.g.， application of new biodegradable embolic agents）， and the development of individualized treatment regimens， so as to improve efficacy and reduce the risk of complications.

Magnetic stimulation has made significant strides in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Nonetheless, current magnetic stimulation techniques lack the precision to accurately modulate specific nuclei and cannot realize deep brain magnetic stimulation. To address this, we utilized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as mediators to achieve precise targeting and penetration. We investigated the effects of magnetic fields with varying frequencies on neuronal activity and compared the activation effects on neurons using a 10-Hz precise magneto-stimulation system (pMSS) with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in mice. Oxytocin levels, dendritic morphology and density, and mouse behavior were measured before and after pMSS intervention. Our findings suggest that pMSS can activate oxytocinergic neurons, leading to upregulation of oxytocin secretion and neurite outgrowth. As a result, sociability was rapidly improved after a one-week pMSS treatment regimen. These results demonstrate a promising magneto-stimulation method for regulating neuronal activity in deep brain nuclei and provide a promising therapeutic approach for autism spectrum disorder.

Objective To observe the ultrasonic manifestations of abdominal pregnancy.Methods Ultrasonic and clinical data of 18 pregnant woman with abdominal pregnancy diagnosed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 15 cases in first trimester,no preoperative ultrasonic diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy was obtained.Ultrasound showed no gestational sac in uterine cavity but mass in pelvic cavity,which located in the adnexal region in 8 cases,in the front and the post of uterus each in 2 cases,while in the adnexal region and the front of uterus in 1 case,in the post of the cervix in 1 case,and closed to uterine wall in 1 case,without obvious tubal echo around mass in all 15 cases.There were 2 cases of abdominal pregnancy in the second trimester,which were first diagnosed with ultrasound at 13+6 weeks and 21 weeks,with gestational sac located on the left side of uterus and behind the uterus,respectively.One case of abdominal pregnancy in the third trimester was first diagnosed with ultrasound at 35 4 weeks,with gestational sac located on the right side of uterus.Ultrasonic manifestations of the above three cases all showed gestational sac located outside the uterus without myometrium wrapping around the gestational sac nor placenta implanted in uterus,while echoes of fluid accumulation were detected around fetus.The ultrasonic diagnosis rate of abdominal pregnancy was 16.67％(3/18).Conclusion In the first trimester,if the ectopic pregnancy mass was large or the gestational sac located adjacent to the cervix,anterior or posterior to uterus and on the uterine wall,also no fallopian tube-like echo around the mass,the possibility of abdominal pregnancy should be considered.Ultrasonic manifestations of abdominal pregnancy in the second and third trimester present as gestational sac outside uterine cavity without wrapping uterine muscle layer around,no placenta implantation in uterine cavity,as well as echoes of fluid accumulation around fetus.Transabdominal combined with transvaginal ultrasound could improve diagnostic rate of abdominal pregnancy.

Objective To construct and evaluate a prediction model for in-hospital mortality in el-derly patients with heart failure(HF).Methods After the establishment of inclusion criteria,clinical data of 767 elderly HF patients were extracted from the MIMIC-Ⅳ database.They were randomly divided into a training set(n=628)and a validation set(n=139)in an 8∶2 ratio.Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator(LASSO)regression analysis was employed to screen variables and identify independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality.Subsequently,multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to develop a risk prediction model and create a nomogram.ROC curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the AUC value of the model,calibration curve was used to assess the calibration.Additionally,decision curve analysis(DCA)was conducted to evalu-ate the clinical applicability of the model.Results ROC curve analysis showed that the prediction model achieved an AUC value of 0.749(95％CI:0.701-0.800)in the training set and of 0.725(95％CI:0.622-0.829)in the validation set.DCA indicated that the nomogram prediction model demonstrated good clinical applicability.Conclusion Our nomogram effectively predicts in-hospital mortality in elderly HF patients.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective To explore the predictive value of growth differentiation factor 15(GDF-15)for atrial fibrillation(AF)in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods A prospective observation cohort of 1261 elderly CHD patients was randomly sampled from the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2012 to December 2015.ELISA was used to detect GDF-15 level in all the subjects,and their baseline data were collected.Until March 2023,93 patients were lost during the follow-up period,and finally 1168 patients completed the follow-up,with a median time of 9.4 years.According to AF occurred or not during the period,the eligible patients were divided into an AF group(197 cases)and a non-AF group(971 cases),and based on their medical history,also assigned into a stable angina pectoris(SAP,n=304)and an acute coronary syndrome group(ACS,n=864).Logistic regression analysis was used to determine whether GDF-15 is a risk factor for AF in elderly CHD patients.ROC curve was plotted to assess the predictive value of GDF-15,guideline recommended CHARGE-AF scoring model,and their combination for AF events in the patients.Results The AF group had significantly advanced age,larger proportions of smoking history,type 2 diabetes,hypertension,old myocardial infarction,stroke,ACS and administration of statins,higher ratio of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibi-tor/angiotensin receptor blocker,and elevated levels of GDF-15 and N-terminal pro-B-type natri-uretic peptide,and lower left ventricular ejection fraction,SAP incidence,and low-density lipopro-tein cholesterol,total cholesterol and triglycerides levels when compared with the non-AF group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that GDF-15 was not a risk factor for AF in elderly CHD patients(OR=0.92,95％CI:0.74-1.16,P=0.489),but was a risk factor for AF in SAP patients(OR=1.38,95％CI:1.07-2.79,P=0.015),and in ACS patients,still not a risk factor for AF(OR=0.81,95％CI:0.63-1.05,P=0.814).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of GDF-15 combined with the CHARGE-AF scoring model in predic-ting AF was 0.682 in the elderly CHD patients,0.746 in the SAP patients,and 0.680 in the ACS patients.Conclusion Elevated GDF-15 level is an independent risk factor and predictor of AF in elderly SAP patients.In SAP patients,the combination of GDF-15 and CHARGE-AF scoring model further improves the predictive performance of AF occurrence.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the associations of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) with post-stroke depression (PSD).Methods:PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were searched to collect literature comparing levels of CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α at the peripheral blood between PSD and non-PSD patients, with retrieval time limit from inception to June 2024. Literature was screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data were extracted. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of included literature. Meta analysis was conducted using Stata 18.0 software, and publication bias was assessed.Results:A total of 21 pieces of literature with 3,177 participants were collected, including 1,425 patients with PSD and 1,752 patients with non-PSD. Meta analysis results showed that CRP level at the peripheral blood in PSD patients was significantly higher than that in non-PSD patients (standardized mean difference [ SMD]=0.930, 95% CI: 0.580-1.280, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis results showed that, among the 7 pieces of literature with CRP detection<14 days after stroke, CRP level at the peripheral blood in PSD patients was significantly higher than that in non-PSD patients ( SMD=0.640, 95% CI: 0.38-0.89, I2=83.9%, P<0.001); among the 4 pieces of literature with CRP detection≧14 days after stroke, CRP level at the peripheral blood in PSD patients was significantly higher than that in non-PSD patients ( SMD=1.450, 95% CI: 0.820-2.090, P<0.001), enjoying higher heterogeneity ( I2=90.6%). IL-6 level at the peripheral blood in PSD patients was significantly higher than that in non-PSD patients ( SMD=2.659, 95% CI: 1.583-3.735, P<0.001). No significant difference in TNF-α level at the peripheral blood was noted between PSD patients and non-PSD patients ( SMD=0.403, 95% CI: -0.208-1.014, P=0.196). Conclusion:CRP and IL-6 levels at the peripheral blood in PSD patients are obviuosly higher than those in non-PSD patients, suggesting that CRP and IL-6 may be potential biomarkers for early identification and intervention of PSD.
