Objective To conduct a comprehensive review of the risk factors for post-transplant pulmonary infection in kidney transplant recipients. Methods Following the methodology guidelines for systematic reviews, the research question was clearly defined. Systematic searches were conducted in both Chinese and English literature databases, with the search period ranging from the establishment of the database to May 1, 2025. Two researchers independently screened and extracted the risk factors related to post-transplant pulmonary infection in kidney transplant recipients, and the research results were qualitatively described. Results A total of 45 articles were finally included, involving 30 risk factors for post-transplant pulmonary infection in kidney transplant recipients, including five aspects as donor factors, recipient factors, disease factors, treatment factors and laboratory test result factors. Conclusions The occurrence of post-transplant pulmonary infection in kidney transplant recipients is related to donor factors, recipient factors, disease factors, treatment factors and laboratory test result factors, providing a reference for clinical prevention, screening, and intervention.

Mechanical pain is one of the most common causes of clinical pain, but there remains a lack of effective treatment for debilitating mechanical and chronic forms of neuropathic pain. Recently, neurotoxin GsMTx4, a selective mechanosensitive (MS) channel inhibitor, has been found to be effective, while the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, with multiple rodent pain models, we demonstrated that a GsMTx4-based 17-residue peptide, which we call P10581, was able to reduce mechanical hyperalgesia and neuropathic pain. The analgesic effects of P10581 can be as strong as morphine but is not toxic in animal models. The anti-hyperalgesic effect of the peptide was resistant to naloxone (an μ-opioid receptor antagonist) and showed no side effects of morphine, including tolerance, motor impairment, and conditioned place preference. Pharmacological inhibition of TRPV4 by P10581 in a heterogeneous expression system, combined with the use of Trpv4 knockout mice indicates that TRPV4 channels may act as the potential target for the analgesic effect of P10581. Our study identified a potential drug for curing mechanical pain and exposed its mechanism.

Immunotherapy has become a pivotal modality in clinical cancer treatment. However, its effectiveness is limited to a small subset of patients due to the low antigenicity, impaired innate response, and various adaptive immune resistance mechanisms of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Accumulating evidence reveals the critical roles of metal elements in shaping immunity against tumor progression and metastasis. The marriage of metalloimmunotherapy and nanotechnology further presents new opportunities to optimize the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of metal ions in a precise spatiotemporal control manner. Several metallodrugs have demonstrated encouraging immunotherapeutic potential in preliminary studies and are currently undergoing clinical trials at different stages, yet challenges persist in scaling up production and addressing long-term biosafety concerns. This review delineates how metal materials modulate biological activities across diverse cell types to orchestrate antitumor immunity. Moreover, it summarizes recent progress in smart drug delivery-release systems integrating metal elements, either as cargo or vehicles, to enhance antitumor immune responses. Finally, the review introduces current clinical applications of nanomedicines in metalloimmunotherapy and discusses potential challenges that impede its widespread translation into clinical practice.

Objective:To comprehensively search and summarize the evidence on critical ultrasound nursing practice training courses, with the aim of providing a basis for critical ultrasound nursing practice training.Methods:Taking the evidence-based clinical translation model of Fudan University Centre for Evidence-based Nursing as the theoretical framework, the evidence was retrieved, evaluated, and summarized to determine the evidence to be introduced into clinical practice, forming a training program for critical ultrasound nursing practice. From July to August 2023, 25 experts from 10 provinces/municipalities across the country were selected for two rounds of consultation to determine the practical training course system for critical ultrasound nursing.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, including one clinical decision, nine expert consensus, and four systematic reviews. In the two rounds of consultation, the positive coefficients of experts were 90.0% (27/30) and 92.6% (25/27), the authority coefficients of experts were 0.956 and 0.964, and the coefficients of Kendall's harmony were 0.303 and 0.350 ( P<0.01), respectively. The final practical training course system for critical ultrasound nursing included five first-level indicators, 25 second-level indicators, and 67 third-level indicators. Conclusions:Ultrasound examination is a complex skill. The construction method of the practical training course system for critical ultrasound nursing is scientific, reasonable, with strong practicality in content, which can provide reference for the development and evaluation of critical ultrasound nursing training courses.

Objective:To investigate the effects of prophylactic flow restriction for brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula on postoperative high-flow-related complications and patency rate in patients undergoing hemodialysis.Methods:Clinical data of patients with end-stage renal disease who underwent brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula surgery for hemodialysis from February 2017 to May 2022 in Department of Nephrology,Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed.During surgery,a 4-5 mm vascular suture loop was placed around the vein near the anastomosis as a flow restriction device in 43 patients(flow restriction group),while 42 patients did not receive the prophylactic flow restriction ring(control group).All patients were followed up for 1 to 5 years.The incidence rates of complications related to the hemodialysis access pathway,including distal ischemia syndrome,the formation of arteriovenous fistula aneurysms,thrombus,high-flow congestive heart failure,anastomosis of the vein within 1 cm of the anastomosis and cephalic arch stenosis,were compared between the two groups.The natural blood flow rate of the arteriovenous fistula,anastomosis size,the internal diameter of the vein near the anastomosis,primary patency rate,assisted primary patency rate,and secondary patency rate of the arteriovenous fistula,were also evaluated and compared between the two groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the factors affecting arteriovenous fistula patency rates,as well as the impact of the flow-restricting ring on postoperative factors.Results:Ultrasound measurements showed that the internal diameter of the vein at the site of the flow restriction ring in the flow restriction group was(3.7±0.6)mm at three months postoperatively,which was significantly smaller than the internal diameter of the narrowest part of the vein near the anastomosis in the control group[(4.1±1.0)mm,t=-2.416,P＜0.01].The postoperative anastomotic diameter and natural blood flow rate of the arteriovenous fistula in the flow restriction group were both significantly lower than those in the control group(both P＜0.05).Furthermore,the incidence rates of various complications in the flow restriction group were significantly lower than those in the control group(all P＜0.05).At 6,12,and 24 months postoperatively,the primary patency rate and assisted primary patency rate in the flow restriction group were significantly higher than those in the control group(both P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference in secondary patency rates between the two groups(P＞0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that age,diabetes,and natural blood flow rate of the arteriovenous fistula at 3 months postoperatively were independent risk factors for primary patency rate,while the flow restriction for brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula was an independent protective factor for primary patency rate(P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).The application of flow restriction was negatively correlated with anastomotic diameter at 6 and 12 months,natural arteriovenous fistula blood flow,and the incidence rates of cephalic arch stenosis and aneurysm formation(all P＜0.05).Conclusion:The prophylactic constriction during brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula surgery in patients undergoing hemodialysis can limit the size of the anastomosis and postoperative arteriovenous fistula blood flow,reducing complications such as cephalic arch stenosis and high-flow heart failure,and increasing primary patency rates of arteriovenous fistula and delay the reintervention of the fistula.
