This paper reviewed the development history of doctor-patient shared decision-making （SDM） at home and abroad， emphasizing the importance of cross-cultural analysis in constructing a Chinese doctor-patient SDM model. It also delved into the relationship between Western “individualistic” sociocultural values and doctor-patient SDM， as well as the influence of China’s “collectivist” sociocultural values on doctor-patient SDM， revealing significant disparities in doctor-patient SDM models under distinct sociocultural contexts. Although the doctor-patient SDM theory in China originated from the West， this theory requires profound “collision” and adaptation with local Chinese culture to form a localized theory suited to China’s national conditions. Through cross-cultural adaptation and integrating China’s familism tradition and medical ethics concepts， the future construction of the doctor-patient SDM model in China should emphasize family members’ involvement and seek cultural balance to facilitate its widespread application in clinical practice.

Aging has emerged as a cutting edge and hotspot in global life science field， with anti-aging and geriatric disease prevention and treatment becoming critical issues urgently demanding solutions in international medical communities. In the face of the challenge of accelerating global population aging， in-depth exploration of aging mechanisms and the development of effective intervention strategies hold significant scientific and clinical value. This study supported by the national key research and development program of China， employed the essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine as its guiding framework， focusing on the key scientific issue of the core traditional Chinese pathogenesis of aging， namely "depletion of kidney essence， deficiency of primordial Qi， and impairment of body and spirit". The treatment principle of "tonifying the kidney to replenish essence， harmonizing Yin and Yang， warming and invigorating primordial Qi， and nourishing the body and spirit" was established. Centered on holistic aging， systemic aging， and aging-related diseases， the research integrated multidisciplinary research approaches to construct multi-modal aging models and a multi-dimensional evaluation system， and it utilized multi-omics technologies to deeply analyze aging mechanisms. By systematically reviewing historical kidney-tonifying and anti-aging formulas and combining big data with artificial intelligence technologies， an information database of anti-aging traditional Chinese medicine substance was developed to reveal the differences and synergistic effects of various treatment methods and formulas on anti-aging. Based on this treatment method， the research integrated two millennia of kidney-tonifying medicinal experience to develop the innovative anti-aging traditional Chinese medicine， namely Bazhi Bushen capsules. It was validated that this capsule can delay holistic and systemic aging through multiple targets and mechanisms， thereby elucidating the scientific connotation of the essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine in guiding anti-aging research from multiple dimensions and providing robust support for leveraging the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine to occupy the commanding heights of international anti-aging research.

When conducting extravehicular activities under low-gravity conditions like on the moon,the weight of the spacesuit is one of the loads that human body has to bear.The centroid position of the spacesuit will affect the motion control of the human-spacesuit system.In order to reveal the influence of the centroid position of the lunar spacesuit on human motion under lunar-gravity,a suspended 1/6 gravity simulation system was used for the experiment.When subjects were under different load centroids which include front and back on sagittal plane,left and right on coronal plane,up and down on cross-section plane,near to coordinate origin,the postures and plantar pressures of subjects during three typical movements:standing,single-knee standing and walking were captured.Inverse dynamics solution is adopted to analyze the joint torques of human body in above conditions.Combined with the subjective evaluation,the appropriate load centroid area was analyzed by comparative.The experiment shows that,human is non-sensitive to the up and down change of load centroid,the after is back change,the front and right load centroid are the mostly avoided.The results obtained by this study will provide a reference for the layout design of the lunar spacesuit.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab(OBZ)in the treatment of refractory primary membranous nephropathy(pMN).Methods The clinical data of 15 patients with refractory pMN who received OBZ treatment in Department of Nephrology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University between Jan.2022 and Sep.2024 were retrospectively analyzed,and they included basic information,relevant laboratory indexes,clinical and immunological outcomes,and adverse events.Results Among the 15 patients with refractory pMN,14(93.3％)were phospholipase A2 receptor(PLA2R)-associated membranous nephropathy(10 cases with positive PLA2R by renal biopsy and 4 cases with no recorded PLA2R results by renal biopsy but with positive serum PLA2R antibodies).During the follow-up period,all 15 patients achieved clinical remission,with 4(26.7％)patients achieving complete remission and 11(73.3％)patients achieving partial remission.Of the 12 patients with positive serum PLA2R antibodies,11 patients had continuously positive serum PLA2R antibodies before OBZ treatment,and 9(81.8％)patients achieved immunological remission after OBZ treatment.All the 15 patients had previously received immunosuppressive therapy,and all of them were classified as refractory pMN,with 7(46.7％)patients having been treated with cyclophosphamide combined with corticosteroids,2(13.3％)patients having been treated with calcineurin inhibitor combined with corticosteroids,11(73.3％)patients having received rituximab.During the treatment,2(13.3％)cases of adverse events were observed:1 patient experienced transient liver dysfunction,and the transaminase returned to normal after discontinuing atorvastatin;another patient developed a positive T-cell spot test for Tuberculosis infection during the intertreatment interval and successfully completed the subsequent OBZ treatment and achieved clinical remission after treatment with isoniazid and rifampicin.Conclusion OBZ demonstrates favorable clinical efficacy in the treatment of refractory pMN,with a low incidence of adverse events.

Liver transplantation is a crucial treatment for end-stage liver disease,yet its complexity continues to limit clinical application.With the development of the internet and big data,artificial intelligence(AI)technologies have gradually expanded their use in liver transplantation surgery,covering donor liver evaluation,organ allocation,robot-assisted surgery,and postoperative management,demonstrating significant advantages.However,the application of AI also raises a series of ethical issues,notably fairness in resource allocation,conflicts between technical limitations and the principle of non-maleficence,ambiguous responsibility attribution,patient privacy security,and informed consent.This article systematically reviews the current applications of AI in liver transplantation surgery and the related ethical challenges,aiming to provide a reference for its rational use and sustainable development.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Shanggan granules in suppressing pulmonary inflammation in mice infected with H1N1 influenza virus.Methods A mouse model of pulmonary influenza virus infection was established by nasal inoculation with H1N1 influenza virus.Mice were divided into a normal control group,model group,positive control group,and low-,medium-,and high-dose Shanggan granules groups.Mice were treated for 7 days and then sacrificed,and the body weight and lung wet weight were measured.Pathological changes in the lung tissues were detected by hematoxylin/eosin(HE)staining.Tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-6,IL-8,and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)levels in lung tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),and malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected using appropriate kits.Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)inflammatory signaling pathways were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction,and TANK-binding kinase 1(TBK1)/interferon regulatory factor(IRF)signaling pathway proteins were detected by Western blot.Results Both Shanggan granules and oseltamivir phosphate reduced the lung wet weight(P＜0.05,P＜0.001)in mice infected with influenza virus H1N1 compared with the model group,decreased the infiltration of inflammatory cells in lung tissue,reduced levels of the inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8,and TGF-β(P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.001),decreased levels of SOD and GSH-Px in lung tissue(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and increased MDA levels(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Shanggan granules and oseltamivir phosphate also reduced TLR4,MyD88,and p38 mRNA levels(P＜0.05,P＜0.01)and expression of TBK1/IRF3/7/NF-κB signaling pathway proteins(P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.001).Conclusions Shanggan granules may effectively reduce lung injury,lung inflammation,and oxidative stress,via a mechanism related to the down-regulation of TLR4/NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathways.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with psittacosis, in order to provide a basis for early diagnosis and prevention of the disease.Methods:Clinical data of psittacosis cases reported in 2023 from China Disease Prevention and Control Information System in Daxing District, Beijing were collected, and the patients' general information, epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics, imaging examination results, laboratory test results, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 7 cases of psittacosis were reported in Daxing District in 2023, with no clustered infection in households or workplaces. There were 4 males and 3 females, with a median age of 66 years old, and a range of 52 to 82 years old. Epidemiological investigation revealed that 6 patients had a clear history of contact with poultry (4 had first contact with parrots or pigeons, and 2 had long-term exposure to pigeons, parrots or wild birds). The onset time was concentrated in April and May. The primary clinical manifestations included high fever (6 cases), fatigue (4 cases), and chills (3 cases). The imaging examination results showed that inflammatory changes occurred in the unilateral lung of 6 patients, and both lungs were affected in 1 patients. Laboratory test results indicated elevated neutrophill percentage in 6 patients, decreased white blood cell counts in 2 patients, elevated white blood cell counts in 2 patients, and elevated C-reactive protein levels in 7 patients. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing test showed that all seven patients were positive for Chlamydia psittaci. All 7 patients were treated with quinolone or tetracycline antibiotics, with 6 cured and discharged, and 1 died. Conclusion:Psittacosis is usually manifested clinically as high fever, fatigue, and unilateral lung inflammation, often associated with poultry exposure.

Objective:To provide preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for a patient with Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) due to IKBKG gene variant but without family samples through construction of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based haplotype by Long-read sequencing (LRS) technology. Methods:A female IP patient with a heterozygous IKBKG c. 1167dup variant but without family genetic data who sought genetic counseling at Women and Children′s Hospital of Ningbo University in November 2021 was selected as the study subject. The IKBKG gene has a highly homologous pseudogene IKBKGP1. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the couple, and LRS was used to obtain informative SNP loci flanking the variant locus, enabling the construction of SNP haplotype with a long segment spanning from the non-homologous region of IKBKG to the variant site. Trophoblast cells were biopsied from blastocysts fertilized through intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to determine the SNP information of the embryos. Linkage analysis with the parental SNP haplotypes was conducted to detect the carrier status of the embryos and exclude chromosomal aneuploidies. Sanger sequencing was carried out to validate the result. A euploid embryo without the pathogenic variant was selected for transfer. Prenatal diagnosis was carried out by amniocentesis at mid-trimester to verify the result of PGT, and follow-up was conducted after the baby was born. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Women and Children′s Hospital of Ningbo University (Ethics No. EC2023-094). Results:In total seven blastocysts were tested, and PGT results indicated that two embryos were euploid and did not carry the pathogenic variant. One euploid embryo was transferred, which resulted in a singleton pregnancy. Amniocentesis at 24 weeks of gestation confirmed that the status of fetal IKBKG gene, and its chromosomal status was consistent with the PGT results. A healthy male infant was born at 38 + 6 weeks of gestation. Conclusion:For IP patients with de novo mutation or without family samples, PGT with LRS can directly construct the SNP-based haplotype while avoiding interference from pseudogenes, providing an effective strategy for PGT.
