METHODS Retrieved from PubMed， Medline， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， Wanfang database， China biomedical medicine database （CBM） and VIP， clinical studies （case-control studies， cohort studies） related to influencing factors for poor prognosis of DILI were collected from inception to May 31， 2025. After literature screening， data extraction and quality evaluation of included studies， meta-analysis was carried out by using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 17 literature were included， involving 4 078 DILI patients， of whom 673 were in the poor prognosis group and 3 405 were in the favorable prognosis group. Meta-analysis showed that history of liver disease （OR＝2.47， 95%CI was 1.61-3.78， P ＜0.001）， alcohol drinking history （OR＝1.77， 95%CI was 1.22-2.56， P ＝0.003）， Chinese herbal medicine/Chinese patent medicine （OR＝1.87， 95%CI was 1.30-2.70， P ＜0.001）， non-hepatocellular injury type （OR＝1.70， 95%CI was 1.37-2.10， P ＜0.001）， international normalized ratio （INR） elevated （OR＝2.51， 95%CI was 1.97-3.19， P ＜0.001）， and alanine transamine （ALT） elevated （OR＝1.27， 95%CI was 1.14-1.41， P ＜0.001） were risk factors of poor prognosis in DILI. Higher albumin （ALB） level （OR＝0.47， 95%CI was 0.39-0.57， P ＜0.001）， elevated prothrombin activity （PTA） （OR＝0.88， 95%CI was 0.85-0.91， P ＜0.001） and more than 2 kinds of hepatoprotective drugs （OR＝0.62， 95%CI was 0.41-0.95， P ＝0.030） were protective factors for poor prognosis of DILI. CONCLUSIONS Patients with alcohol drinking history， history of liver disease， elevated INR， elevated ALT， taking Chinese herbal medicine/Chinese patent medicine， and non-hepatocellular injury type of DILI have a greater risk of poor prognosis， and higher ALB level， higher PTA and more than 2 kinds of hepatoprotective drugs can reduce the risk of poor prognosis of DILI.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the influential factors for all-cause mortality in patients with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria （CR-GNB） treated with polymyxin B. METHODS PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， Web of Science， Wanfang Data， VIP， CBM and CNKI were searched to collect clinical studies on all-cause death within 30 days or 28 days after treatment with polymyxin B in patients with CR-GNB infection from database establishment to July 2025. After literature screening， data extraction and evaluation of literature quality， meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 12 studies were included， involving 1 326 patients， among whom 529 patients died， with a mortality rate of 39.89%. Meta-analysis results showed that combined with cardiovascular disease [OR＝2.06， 95%CI （1.37， 3.09）， P ＝0.005 ] ， increased Sequential Organ Failure Assessment （SOFA） score [OR＝1.20， 95%CI （1.07， 1.35）， P ＝0.003 ] ， mechanical ventilation [OR＝2.35， 95%CI （1.65， 3.34）， P ＜0.001 ] ， continuous renal replacement therapy （CRRT） [OR＝2.58， 95%CI （1.67， 3.97）， P ＜0.001 ] ， bloodstream infection [OR＝3.24， 95%CI （2.19， 4.78）， P ＜0.001 ] ， multiple-site infection [OR＝1.51， 95%CI （1.03， 2.20）， P ＝0.03 ] ， septic shock [OR＝3.19， 95%CI （1.94， 5.24）， P ＜0.001 ] ， use of vasoactive drugs [OR＝2.90， 95%CI （1.97， 4.27）， P ＜0.001 ] ， and the occurrence of acute kidney injury （AKI） [OR＝2.17， 95%CI （1.41， 3.36）， P ＜0.001 ] were risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients with CR-GNB infection treated with polymyxin B. Conversely， an extended duration of polymy xin B treatment [OR＝0.92， 95%CI （0.86， 0.99）， P ＝0.03 ] and early administration after CR-GNB infection [OR＝0.47， 95%CI （0.25， 0.85）， P ＝0.01 ] were protective factors. CONCLUSIONS Patients with cardiovascular disease， receiving mechanical ventilation or CRRT， having bloodstream infection， multiple-site infection or septic shock， combining with vasoactive drugs， with AKI and increased SOFA scores have a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Conversely， extending the duration of polymyxin B treatment （beyond 7 days） and early administration within 48 hours after confirmed CR-GNB infection can significantly reduce the risk of all-cause mortality.

Zika virus(ZIKV)is a mosquito-borne flavivirus associated with neurological complications such as Limbari syndrome in adults and microcephaly in newborns.As there are no drugs or preventive vaccines available to specifically treat ZIKV infection,there is an urgent need to take comprehensive measures to prevent and control ZIKV infection and stop its spread.In this paper,we reviewed the structure and function of ZIKV gene and protein,and summarized the progress in the development of virus-targeting anti-ZIKV drug candidates through high-throughput screening and drug relocation,and summarized the mechanism of action of virus and host cell targeting drug candidates.The research and development trend of small molecule antiviral drugs in the future is prospected,which provides reference for promoting the research and development of new anti-ZIKV drugs.

Objective:To investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of pediatric and adolescent mediastinal T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) and to evaluate their predictive value for early treatment response.Methods:A retrospective, multicenter case series study was conducted on 49 pediatric and adolescent patients diagnosed with mediastinal T-LBL between September 2020 and May 2024 at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Beijing Gaobo Boren Hospital, and Henan Cancer Hospital.All patients underwent chest MRI, including conventional MRI sequences and diffusion-weighted imaging.Tumor imaging characteristics were analyzed, and quantitative parameters such as minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmin), maximum ADC (ADCmax), and mean ADC (ADCmean) were measured.Treatment response was evaluated 15 days post-treatment.The patients were divided into a response group (complete or partial response, 26 cases) and a non-response group (progressive disease or minor response, 23 cases).The relationship between MRI features and treatment response was analyzed.The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to assess inter-reader agreement, and independent sample t-tests and chi-square tests were employed to compare differences between groups.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the predictive performance of imaging parameters. Results:Significant differences were observed between the response and non-response groups in ADC values [ADCmin (0.80±0.41)×10 -3 mm 2/s vs.(1.23±0.70)×10 -3 mm 2/s, ADCmax (1.14±0.48)×10 -3 mm 2/s vs.(1.92±0.77)×10 -3 mm 2/s, ADCmean (0.98±0.42)×10 -3 mm 2/s vs.(1.56±0.74)×10 -3 mm 2/s] and the maximum tumor diameter was [(11.92±3.61) cm vs.(8.17±2.46) cm] (all P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that ADCmax had the highest predictive efficiency for treatment response, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.853 (95% CI: 0.790-0.910), sensitivity of 92.3%, and specificity of 65.2%.The AUC for the maximum tumor diameter was 0.814, demonstrating its excellent predictive performance. Conclusions:MRI features, particularly ADC values and the maximum tumor diameter, can effectively predict treatment response in pediatric and adolescent mediastinal T-LBL.

Objectives:To observe the effect of applying denosumab after percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture(OVCF)in elderly patients.Methods:217 elderly patients(male 84,female 133;aged 60-80 years old)with OVCF who received PVP in the hospital from Oc-tober 2022 to January 2024 were selected and numbered according to the order of admission,and they were divided into control group(n=73),zoledronic acid sodium group(n=72)and denosumab group(n=72)at a ratio of 1∶1∶1 by random number table method.The control group was treated with calcium carbonate D3 tablets and calcitriol capsules(oral administration,1 tablet/capsule every day for 12 months)after surgery,and the zole-dronic acid sodium group was added with zoledronic acid sodium injection(5mg,intravenous infusion,once ev ery 12 months)on the basis of the control group,and the denosumab group was treated with denosumab(60mg,subcutaneous injection,once every 6 months)based on the control group.The pain visual analog scale(VAS)score,bone mineral density,bone metabolism indicators such as serum beta collagen degradation prod-ucts(β-CTX)and procollagen type Ⅰ N-terminal propeplide(P Ⅰ NP),Oswestry disability index(ODI)and frac-ture recurrence rate were compared between the three groups before treatment and at 6 months and 12 months after treatment.Results:3 cases were lost in the control group,and 2 cases were lost in both zoledronic acid sodium group and denosumab group.Finally,70 patients were enrolled in each group.There were no statistical differences in gender ratio,age and fracture site between the three groups(P＞0.05).No significant differences were found in VAS score,bone mineral density,serumβ-CTX,P Ⅰ NP and ODI between the three groups before treatment(P＞0.05).At 6 months and 12 months after treatment,the VAS score and ODI score in the three groups of patients were significantly improved compared with those before surgery(P＜0.05),and the improvements in denosumab group were better than those in zoledronic acid sodium group and control group(P＜0.05).The levels of serum β-CTX and P Ⅰ NP in denosumab group and zoledronic acid sodium group at 6 months and 12 months after treatment were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)while the bone mineral density was significantly increased(P＜0.05),and there were no significant changes in control group(P＞0.05).After treatment,serum β-CTX and P Ⅰ NP in denosumab group were lower than those in zoledronic acid sodium group(P＜0.05),while the bone mineral density was significantly higher than that in zoledronic acid sodium group(P＜0.05).The incidence rate of fracture recurrence in denosumab group(4.29％)was significantly lower than that in control group(17.14％)at 12 months after treatment(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference compared to zoledronic acid sodium group(P＞0.05).Conclusions:Denosumab injection after PVP in elderly patients with OVCF can relieve pain,reduce the levels of bone metabolism indicators,enhance the bone mineral density,relieve the lumbar dysfunction and reduce the fracture recurrence rate.

Objective To simulate modern social stress using a pre-pregnancy chronic mild stress(CMS)model and to explore the mechanisms of emotional,behavioral,and neurodevelopmental changes in male offspring of pre-pregnancy liver qi stagnation female mice through corticosterone(CORT)-brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)1/2 signaling cascade-mediated hippocampal injury.This study aimed to elucidate the impact of negative life events on offspring and the interventional mechanism of Shuyu Capsules.Methods CMS stress was used to induce pre-pregnancy depression in female rats(liver qi stagnation state),followed by intervention with Shuyu and fluoxetine capsules.After screening,male rats were mated and 12 male offspring from each group were selected for behavioral testing and detection of serum CORT levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.BDNF,ERK1/2,phospho(p)-ERK1/2,cAMP-response element binding protein(CREB),and p-CREB protein levels in the hippocampus were detected by Western Blot,and BDNF,ERK1,ERK2,and CREB mRNA levels in the hippocampus were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),to verify the effects of pre-pregnancy CMS on the BDNF-ERK1/2-CREB signaling pathway and to investigate the key micro-mechanisms of Shuyu Capsules on emotional and learning memory-related behaviors of male offspring of females with pre-pregnancy liver qi stagnation syndrome.Results The distance,number of entries,and duration of stay in the central area in open-field experiments were significantly reduced in offspring in the model group(all P＜0.05).The escape latency during the exploration period of the water-maze experiment was significantly prolonged(P＜0.05)and the swimming distance,duration of the target quadrant,and number of platform crossings were significantly reduced(P＜0.05,P＜0.05,P＜0.01),the suspension time and frequency in the forced-swimming experiment were increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and the incubation period was shortened(P＜0.05)in offspring in the model group.Prophylactic treatment with Shuyu Capsules and fluoxetine improved the depression-like behavior and cognitive impairment in the offspring in the model group.Biochemical tests showed that CORT levels were increased in the CMS model group(P＜0.05),BDNF,p-ERK1/2,and p-CREB protein levels in the hippocampus were decreased(all P＜0.05),and BDNF,ERK1,ERK2,and CREB mRNA levels were significantly reduced(P＜0.01,P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Treatment with Shuyu Capsules and fluoxetine increased the CORT content and BDNF,ERK1/2,and CREB protein and mRNA levels in male offspring to varying degrees.Conclusions High levels of CORT in offspring act selectively on the hippocampus,exerting adverse effects on the emotional and learning memory functions of rats by downregulating the BDNF-ERK1/2 signaling cascade.The Chinese medicine Shuyu Capsules can reduce the impact of an adverse intrauterine environment on offspring development by correcting abnormal levels and pathways of glucocorticoids.

Chronic pain causes physical suffering and can have major psychological impacts in patients.Chronic pain can induce depressive disorder,and clinical studies have consistently shown that chronic pain and depression frequently co-occur,suggesting the possibility of shared pathogenic mechanisms underlying these conditions.Acupuncture,as an alternative therapy,has been widely used for analgesia and to treat depression,with demonstrated clinical efficacy.The therapeutic mechanism of acupuncture is related to neural and endocrine regulation.This review considers the mechanism of chronic pain accompanied by depression,in relation to the brain regions and neural circuits affected by acupuncture treatment.This review provides a new approach for the treatment of depression caused by chronic pain.

BACKGROUND:Observations from several clinical studies suggest a close relationship between hypertension and osteoporosis,but the causal relationship between hypertension and osteoporosis is unclear. OBJECTIVE:To determine whether there is a causal relationship between hypertension and osteoporosis,multisite bone mineral density and osteoporosis with fractures in Asian and European populations,respectively,using a comprehensive two-sample Mendelian randomized analysis. METHODS:Data of osteoporosis in Asian populations were obtained through Japan biological bank. Data of osteoporosis in European populations were obtained from UK Biobank,a British biological bank. Data of hypertension,multisite bone mineral density and osteoporosis with fractures were all from FinnGen R10 database. Inverse variance weighted method,MR-Egger regression method,weighted median method,weighted model method and simple model method were used to study the causal relationship between hypertension and osteoporosis,multisite bone mineral density and osteoporosis with fracture in Asian and European populations. Comprehensive sensitivity analysis was used to verify the robustness,heterogeneity and level pleiotropy of the results. Stsiger test was used to determine whether there was a reverse causal relationship between osteoporosis and hypertension. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In Asian populations,there was no significant genetic predictive causal relationship between hypertension and osteoporosis,and there was a positive causal relationship between hypertension and calcaneal bone mineral density. In European populations,hypertension had a negative causal relationship with osteoporosis,and there was no significant causal relationship between hypertension and systemic bone mineral density,calcaneal bone mineral density,forearm bone mineral density and osteoporosis with fracture. According to the stsiger test,there was no reverse causal relationship between osteoporosis,multiplesite bone mineral density,osteoporosis with fracture and hypertension in Asian and European populations. These results indicate that there is a causal relationship between hypertension and osteoporosis,that is,in Asian populations,hypertension and calcaneal bone mineral density show a positive causal relationship;in European populations,hypertension and osteoporosis show a negative causal relationship,but no reverse causal relationship.
