ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Janus kinase （JAK） inhibitors combined with Chinese herbal medicine （CHM） in treating rheumatoid arthritis （RA）. MethodsClinical data from 169 RA patients were retrospectively collected. Among them， 71 cases received JAK inhibitors as the control group， while 98 cases received JAK inhibitors plus CHM as the observation group， both treated for 24 weeks. The rheumatoid factor （RF）， cyclic citic peptide antibody （anti-CCP）， erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR）， C-reactive protein （CRP）， and white blood cell count （WBC） were recorded before and after treatment. Databases including CNKI， Wanfang， VIP， PubMed and Web of Science were searched from inception till August 31st， 2025 for randomized controlled trials （RCTs） on the combined use of JAK inhibitors and CHM for RA. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using the risk of bias assessment tool. Meta-analyses were performed for RF， anti-CCP， ESR， CRP， 28-joint disease activity score （DAS28）， overall clinical effective rate， and incidence of adverse events. Sensitivity analysis were also performed. ResultsThe retrospective study demonstrated that after treatment， ESR， CRP， and anti-CCP levels decreased in the observation group， while ESR and CRP levels decreased in the control group （P＜0.05）. Moreover， ESR and RF levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （P＜0.05）. A total of 9 RCTs involving 770 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The results indicated that the JAK inhibitors plus CHM group was superior to the JAK inhibitors group in reducing RF （MD=-8.97， 95%CI -15.01 to -2.94， P=0.004）， CRP （MD=-3.34， 95%CI -3.82 to -2.86， P＜0.001）， ESR （MD=-5.33， 95%CI -7.98 to -2.69， P＜0.001）， and DAS28 score （MD=-0.54， 95%CI -0.74 to -0.34， P＜0.001）， as well as in improving the overall clinical effective rate （OR=4.53， 95%CI 2.55 to 8.03， P＜0.001）. No statistically significant differences were observed between groups in anti-CCP levels （SMD=-2.08， 95%CI -4.41 to 0.24， P=0.080） or incidence of adverse events （OR=0.93， 95%CI 0.55 to 1.57， P=0.790）. ConclusionThe combination of JAK inhibitors and CHM demonstrates remarkable efficacy in treating RA， contributing to improved disease activity and reduced inflammatory markers with a favorable safety profile.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the molecular characteristics associated with better prognosis in breast cancer. Methods: We performed targeted sequencing of 962 genes in 56 samples, categorizing them into long-term and short-term survival groups as well as chemotherapy-sensitive and chemotherapy-resistant groups for further analyses. Results: The results indicated that the tumor mutational burden values were significantly higher in the short-term survival and chemotherapy-resistant groups (p = 0.008 and p = 0.003, respectively). Somatic mutation analysis revealed that the mutation frequencies of BCL9L and WHSC1 were significantly lower in the long-term survival group than those in the short-term survival group (p = 0.029 and p = 0.024, respectively). CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) mutations occurred significantly more frequently in the chemotherapy-resistant group (p = 0.027) and were associated with shorter progression-free survival (p = 0.036).Signature weighting analysis showed a significant increase in Signature.3, which is associated with homologous recombination repair deficiency in the chemotherapy-sensitive group (p = 0.045). Conversely, signatures related to effective DNA repair mechanisms, Signature.1 and Signature.15, were significantly reduced (p = 0.002 and p < 0.001, respectively). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis indicated that gene mutations were significantly enriched in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Conclusion This study, through intergroup comparative analysis, found that immunotherapy (using programmed death 1/programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors) may improve the prognosis of patients with short survival and chemotherapy resistance. Additionally, the study revealed that mutations in BCL9L and WHSC1 could serve as biomarkers for breast cancer prognosis, while CRTC1 mutations and Signature.3 could predict chemotherapy response. The study also found that the JAK-STAT pathway might be a potential therapeutic target for chemotherapy resistance. Therefore, this study identifies molecular characteristics that influence the prognosis of breast cancer patients, providing important theoretical insights for the development of personalized treatment strategies.

Objective To investigate the correlation between seminal plasma oxidation-reduction potential(ORP)and normalized ORP(nORP)with sperm DNA fragmentation index(DFI),high DNA staining(HDS),and motility parameters,and to explore whether these parameters can be used as biomarkers for evaluating male fertility potential.Methods A total of 309 men who attended the andrology clinic at the Department of Reproductive Medicine,General Hospital of Northern Theater Command,between October 2023 and December 2023,were selected in this study.We analyzed the correlation between seminal plasma ORP and nORP and parameters such as DFI using the electrode method,HDS,age,days of abstinence,semen volume,total sperm count,sperm concentration,sperm motility(forward motile sperm count,forward motile sperm percentage,non-forward sperm count,non-forward sperm percentage,immotile sperm count,immotile sperm percentage,and sperm motility rate),and motility indices(curvilinear velocity[VCL],straight-line velocity[VSL],average velocity[VAP],linear index[LIN],straightness index[STR],and wobble coefficient[WOB]).The nORP results were divided into three groups and analyzed in relation to each of the parameters mentioned above.A generalized linear regression model was used to assess the relationship between nORP and HDS,with smooth curve fitting performed to visualize this relationship.Results Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses revealed that both ORP and nORP were positively correlated with semen volume,percentage of immotile sperm,and DFI,but negatively correlated with forward motile sperm count,percentage of forward motile sperm,sperm motility rate,VSL,and VAP(P＜0.05).Additionally,ORP was positively correlated with abstinence days and immotile sperm count(P＜0.05)and negatively correlated with LIN,STR,and WOB(P＜0.05).However,nORP was positively correlated with HDS(P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with total sperm count,sperm concentration,non-forward sperm count,non-forward sperm percentage,immotile sperm count,and VCL(P＜0.05).The nORP group showed significant differences in semen volume,total sperm count,sperm concentration,forward motile sperm count,forward motile sperm percentage,non-forward sperm count,non-forward sperm percentage,immotile sperm count,immotile sperm percentage,sperm motility rate,VCL,VSL,VAP,DFI,and HDS(P＜0.05).A smooth curve fitting of nORP and HDS,adjusted for age and abstinence days,demonstrated a linear upward trend in nORP as HDS increased.Conclusion Both ORP and nORP are associated with sperm DFI and key motility parameters.Moreover,nORP is closely related to HDS,which reflects sperm maturity,offering a more comprehensive indicator of semen quality.Thus,nORP can be utilized as a biomarker for assessing male fertility potential.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.
