IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide and a major cause of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure. IgAN exhibits marked heterogeneity in clinical presentation, histopathology, and pathogenic mechanisms, contributing to variable treatment responses and prognosisamong patients. Precise risk assessment and individualized intervention are therefore of critical importance. This review systematically traces the evolution of IgAN management from traditional risk stratification toward biomarker-driven precision medicine. We first review the clinical utility and limitations of established risk stratification tools, including the KDIGO guidelines, the Oxford MEST-C classification, and the International IgAN Prediction Tool. We then discuss emerging biomarkers closely linked to disease pathogenesis, including galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1), anti-Gd-IgA1 autoantibodies, B cell activating factor (BAFF), a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), and complement components, as well as the targeted therapies they have informed. In addition, urinary biomarkers and multi-omics approaches show promise for dynamic disease monitoring and individualized risk stratification.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the antitumor activity of Periplaneta americana extract（PAE） against human-derived lung adenocarcinoma organoids（LUAD-PDOs） and to elucidate its potential mechanism based on transcriptomics. MethodsFresh tumor and adjacent normal tissues from patients with LUAD were collected to construct LUAD-PDOs and normal lung organoid（Nor-PDOs） models using 3D organoid culture technology. The effective intervention concentration of PAE was determined using the cell counting kit-8（CCK-8） assay. Experimental groups included the model group（LUAD-PDOs）， normal group， model administration group（LUAD-PDOs+PAE）， and normal administration group（Nor-PDOs+PAE）. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the pathological structures of PDOs， immunohistochemistry（IHC） was performed to detect the expressions of the proliferation marker Ki-67 and lung adenocarcinoma differentiation markers cytokeratin-7（CK-7） and Napsin A， TUNEL staining was applied to detect cell apoptosis. RNA sequencing（RNA-Seq） was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes（DEGs）， followed by Gene Ontology（GO）， Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis（GSEA）， alongside protein-protein interaction（PPI） network analysis to screen core mechanisms. Finally， key targets were validated by integrating external database analysis with immunofluorescence（IF）. ResultsNor-PDOs and LUAD-PDOs that highly recapitulated the pathological characteristics of the primary tissues were successfully established. The CCK-8 assay determined that the effective intervention concentration of PAE was 16 g·L^-1. Morphological observation showed that Nor-PDOs exhibited lumen-forming structures， whereas LUAD-PDOs displayed dense， solid structures. CCK-8 and TUNEL assays revealed that， compared with the model group， PAE intervention inhibited the proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promoted apoptosis in LUAD cells， while showing no significant effect on the viability of Nor-PDOs. Transcriptomic analysis identified 719 DEGs that were significantly reversed after PAE intervention（347 up-regulated and 372 down-regulated）（P<0.05）. GO enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs in the model administration group were significantly enriched in biological processes related to cell cycle regulation compared to the model group. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that PAE affected pathways related to proliferation and metabolism， including pathways in cancer and the p53 signaling pathway. GSEA further confirmed that PAE significantly enhanced the activity of the p53 signaling pathway（P<0.05）. PPI network analysis indicated that breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein（BRCA1） and checkpoint kinase 1（CHEK1） were the core down-regulated targets in the p53 pathway. IF verified the high expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 in LUAD-PDOs and their significant downregulation after PAE intervention（P<0.05）. Furthermore， survival analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas（TCGA） database indicated that low expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 was significantly associated with prolonged overall survival in patients with LUAD（P<0.05）. ConclusionPAE effectively inhibits proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promotes their apoptosis， its anti-tumor mechanism is potentially associated with the activation of the p53 signaling pathway， with BRCA1 and CHEK1 genes likely serving as key downstream targets for the effects of PAE.

Aim To study the mechanism of adipose mesenchymal stem cell exosomes(ASC-exo)inhibition of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)-induced atopic dermatitis(AD).Methods The mouse age,extrac-tion method,and the concentration of a solution of typeⅠ collagen enzyme and other conditions were compared to study the effects on the morphology and quantity of adipose mesenchymal stem cells(ASCs)after extrac-ted.FITC-induced mouse model in vivo was estab-lished and different doses of ASC-exo were given to measure ear thickness,ear weight and ear scratching times of mice.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of ear tissue of mice.The non-toxicity of ASC-exo was detected.IgE,IL-5,IL-13 and other cytokines were detected by ELISA.The gene ex-pressions of TSLP,IL-33,occludin,Claudin-1(CLDN-1)and E-cadherin were detected by RT-qPCR.The protein expression was detected by immunohistochemis-try.Results An efficient method for extracting ASCs was established.Compared with the blank group,mice in the model group showed obvious AD symptoms.Compared with the model group,ASC-exo administra-tion group significantly reduced the number of ear scratches,epidermal thickening,inflammatory cell infil-tration and the secretion of Th2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13.Meanwhile,ASC-exo administration group signifi-cantly increased the expression of structural proteins CLDN-1 and occludin in epithelial cells and decreased the expression of TSLP and IL-33.Conclusions ASC-exo can significantly improve Th2 skin inflamma-tion in AD mice,and its mechanism may be through in-creasing the expression of tight junction proteins and adhesion link protein in epithelial cells,repairing the skin barrier,and inhibiting the key promoters of allergy TSLP and IL-33.

Purpose To explore the effect of Calumenin(CALU)on migration and invasion ability of gastric cancer cells,as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT).Methods The immunohistochemical experiments and Western blot were applied to evaluate the protein level of CALU in gastric cancer.After constructing a gastric canc-er cell line with low expression of CALU,CCK8 assay,wound-healing analysis and Transwell migration and invasion assays were performed to determine cell proliferation,Migration and invasion ability.Western blot was performed to an-alyse the effect of CALU knockdown on EMT molecules.Results CALU expression was significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues compared to normal gastric tissues(P＜0.05),and high CALU expression was significantly associated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).Compared with GES-1 cells,the protein expression of CALU upregulated in gastric cancer cells(P＜0.05).CALU knockdown suppressed the proliferation,migration,invasion of BGC823 cells and SGC7901 cells(P＜0.05).Rescue experimental evidence showed that synonymous mutations of CALU could reverse the inhibitory effect of CALU knockdown on the proliferation,migration,and invasion ability of gastric cancer cells(P＜0.05).Knockdown of CALU resulted in the downregulation of vimentin and Snail expression,while E-cadherin and β-catenin expression were upregulated in human gastric cancer cells(P＜0.05).Conclusion CALU knockdown inhibits the proliferation,migration,invasion,and EMT of human gastric cancer cells.

Objective To study the economic burden caused by healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP),and provide theoretical basis for formulating HAI prevention and control measures.Methods Patients with SAP discharged from a tertiary first-class hospital in Jiangxi Province from July 1,2023 to June 30,2024 were selected as the study subjects.Information including demographic characteristics,clinical data,and hospitalization expense were collected.Patients were divided into a HAI group and a non-HAI group according to HAI occurrence.A propensity score matching(PSM)method was used to conduct a 1∶2 ma-tching,and differences in the length of hospital stay and hospitalization expense between the two groups of patients after PSM were compared.Results A total of 709 patients were included in the analysis,out of which 65 cases ex-perienced HAI,with a HAI incidence of 9.17％.After PSM,all 65 patients in the HAI group were successfully matched.The length of hospital stay,total hospitalization expense,expenses of medication and hygiene product of patients in the HAI group were all higher than those in the non-HAI group,and differences were all statistically sig-nificant(all P＜0.001).Patients who experienced≥2 episodes of HAI had a higher economic burden than those who experienced only once(P＜0.05).HAI of bloodstream,abdomen,digestive system,and respiratory system significantly increased the economic burden of patients(all P＜0.05).Conclusion HAI in SAP patients can extend the length of hospital stay and increase economic burden of patients.Targeted infection prevention and control mea-sures should be formulated to reduce the incidence of HAI and save medical resources.

Objective To determine the effects of heated iodophor disinfection on intraoperative body temperature and bleeding in elderly patients undergoing radical mastectomy.Methods A total of 78 elderly patients who underwent unilateral radical mastectomy in Suqian Hospital of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital from September 2022 to August 2024 were selected as the study subjects,and they were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 39 cases in each group.The control group and the observation group were disinfected with iodophor at temperature of 23℃and heated to 37℃before surgery,respectively.The qualified skin disinfection,incision infection,body temperature,adverse reactions during the recovery period,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative drainage bleeding volume,and hemoglobin levels of patients of the two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the qualified rate of skin disinfection or incision infection rate between of patients the two groups(P>0.05).At 30 minutes after disinfection,60 minutes after disinfection,and at the end of surgery,the body temperature of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The incidences of intraoperative hypothermia,delayed awakening,and shivering reaction of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The intraoperative bleeding volume and postoperative drainage bleeding volume of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The hemoglobin level 3 days after surgery of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the routine use of 23℃iodophor to disinfect the skin of elderly patients undergoing radical mastectomy,the use of iodophor heated to 37℃does not affect the disinfection effect and incision infection,and the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia in patients is lower,which is conducive to reduce the amount of intraoperative bleeding and the incidence of adverse reactions during the recovery period.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective To collect and analyze outpatient prescription data for exogenous cough treatment from a hospital in Shenzhen,and to identify the characteristics and medication patterns of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).Methods This study collected prescriptions from a hospital in Shenzhen for exogenous cough treatment in January 2024.R language for data mining were used to analyze the medication frequency,clustering patterns,and association rules in the treatment of exogenous cough by TCM and to explore the medication patterns and the usage of classic formulas in TCM for this condition.Results A total of 451 outpatient prescriptions for exogenous cough were include,the top ten most frequently used herbs were Licorice,Bitter almond,Bellflower,Ephedra,Tangerine peel,Stemonae radix,Tuckahoe,Pinellia ternata,Nepeta,Bulb of thunberg fritillary.Cluster analysis and association rules revealed that San'ao decoction,Kikyodon soup,and Zhisou powder were commonly prescribed,targeting lung function,dispersing wind,and resolving phlegm to effectively alleviate cough symptoms.Significant differences in medication usage were observed across different syndrome types.For the wind cold attacking lung pattern,the core herbs were warm in nature and focused on dispersing with acrid-warm properties.Conversely,the treatment of wind heat attacking the lung pattern typically involved cold-natured herbs,with a primary focus on clearing and draining lung heat.Stratification by age revealed that the pediatric group often used drugs with mild properties,such as Stemona and Shegan.The young adult group tended to be prescribed cold-natured drugs like Forsythia and Hogfonnel Root.The middle-aged and elderly group preferred warming and tonifying drugs such as Japanese Catnip and Perilla frutescens.Conclusion The TCM treatment of exogenous cough primarily focuses on releasing the exterior and dispersing the lung.Due to the region's subtropical monsoon climate and temperature fluctuations physicians flexibly modified classical formulas such as San'ao decoction and Zhisou powder according to individual constitutions and symptom patterns.This targeted,syndrome-based approach effectively disperses the lung qi,stops cough and transforms phlegm,and alleviates cough.
