Congenital blood group chimerism refers to the coexistence of two or more distinct blood types within an individual, resulting from the presence of hematopoietic cell populations with different genotypes. Consequently, red blood cells in such individuals may express different blood group antigens. Based on the timing and mechanism of formation, blood group chimerism can be classified as either congenital or acquired. Although congenital blood group chimerism is rare and involves complex mechanisms, it holds significant implications in transfusion medicine, transplantation, and obstetrics. This article reviews the formation mechanisms, detection methods, and clinical significance of congenital blood group chimerism in transfusion medicine. Particular emphasis is placed on the principles, advantages, and limitations of various detection techniques. Furthermore, the potential applications of these technologies in clinical diagnosis are discussed, providing a technical foundation for the development of precise transfusion strategies.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors （ICIs） combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of early triple-negative breast cancer （TNBC）. METHODS Randomized controlled trials （RCTs） comparing ICIs combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy （experimental group） versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone （control group） were retrieved from PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang Data， and VIP databases， as well as relevant studies published at oncology academic conferences. The search period was from database inception to June 30， 2025. After literature screening， data extraction， and quality assessment， a meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 6 RCTs involving 3 786 patients were finally included. The meta-analysis results showed that the experimental group had superior event-free survival [HR＝0.73， 95%CI （0.62， 0.85）， P＜0.000 1]， overall survival [HR＝0.69， 95%CI （0.57， 0.84）， P＝0.000 3]， and pathological complete response （pCR） [OR＝1.57， 95%CI （1.37， 1.80）， P＜0.000 01] compared to the control group. The incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse event （AE）， severe AE （SAE）， and ≥ grade 3 immune-related adverse event （irAE） in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of any AE or any irAE （P＞0.05）. Subgroup analysis revealed that， regardless of programmed cell death ligand 1 expression status （negative or positive），the pCR in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group （P＜0.05）. Additionally， the pCR of the patients with positive lymph nodes in the experimental group was significantly higher to that in the ontrol group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in pCR between the two groups with negative lymph nodes （P＝0.09）. CONCLUSIONS ICIs combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy can significantly improve event-free survival and overall survival in patients with TNBC， providing patients with long-term survival benefits. However， the risk of ≥ grade 3 AE， SAE and ≥ grade 3 irAE has increased.

Hearing loss is the most prevalent disabling disease. Cochlear implantation（CI） serves as the primary intervention for severe to profound hearing loss. This consensus systematically explores the value of genetic diagnosis in the pre-operative assessment and efficacy prognosis for CI. Drawing upon domestic and international research and clinical experience, it proposes an evidence-based medicine three-tiered prognostic classification system（Favorable, Marginal, Poor）. The consensus focuses on common hereditary non-syndromic hearing loss（such as that caused by mutations in genes like GJB2, SLC26A4, OTOF, LOXHD1） and syndromic hereditary hearing loss（such as Jervell & Lange-Nielsen syndrome and Waardenburg syndrome）, which are closely associated with congenital hearing loss, analyzing the impact of their pathological mechanisms on CI outcomes. The consensus provides recommendations based on multiple round of expert discussion and voting. It emphasizes that genetic diagnosis can optimize patient selection, predict prognosis, guide post-operative rehabilitation, offer stratified management strategies for patients with different genotypes, and advance the application of precision medicine in the field of CI.

The activation proteins released by fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment regulate tumor growth, migration, and treatment response, thereby influencing tumor progression and therapeutic outcomes. Owing to the proliferation and metastasis of tumors, fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is typically highly expressed in the tumor stroma, whereas it is nearly absent in adult normal tissues and benign lesions, making it an attractive target for precision medicine. Radiolabeled agents targeting FAP have the potential for targeted cancer diagnosis and therapy. This comprehensive review aims to describe the evolution of FAPI-based radiopharmaceuticals and their structural optimization. Within its scope, this review summarizes the advances in the use of radiolabeled small molecule inhibitors for tumor imaging and therapy as well as the modification strategies for FAPIs, combined with insights from structure-activity relationships and clinical studies, providing a valuable perspective for radiopharmaceutical clinical development and application.

Parkinson's disease(PD)is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and a major cause of movement disorders.Neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PD.Icilin is a small molecule compound that has been reported to inhibit inflammation.Howev-er,its role in PD has not been reported.This study explored the effects of icilin on motor behavior,nerve damage,microglia activation,and neuroinflammation in MPTP-induced PD Meriones unguic-ulatus by behavioral experiments,immunohistochemistry,Western blot,and fluorescence quantifi-cation.The results showed that Icilin not only ameliorated motor dysfunction and neurological damage in MPTP-induced Meriones unguiculatus,but also inhibited microglia hyperactivation and its mediated neuroinflammation.The present study provides an evidence that icilin attenuates MPTP-induced neurodegenerative lesions in long-pawed gerbils,suggesting that it is a promising candidate for PD.

BACKGROUND:Various clinical strategies for the treatment of tendinopathy have good short-term effects but poor long-term effects,and some studies have proven that mitochondria are closely related to the occurrence and development of tendinopathy.However,the relationship between mitochondria and tendinopathy and mitochondria-targeting therapeutic strategies for tendinopathy have not been summarized so far,which is not good for specialists and scholars in related fields to understand the recent research situation.OBJECTIVE:To review the existing clinical or preclinical original studies,in order to summarize the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and tendinopathy and the mitochondria-targeting methods for the treatment of tendinopathy,and to provide certain prospects for the evaluation and management of mitochondria in tendinopathy in the future.METHODS:The relevant literatures in PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang and VIP databases were searched.The search time was from January 2009 to March 2024,and the search terms were"tendinopathy,tendon injuries,tendon,tendons,mitochondria,mitochondria dysfunction,mitochondria disease"both in English and Chinese.According to the exclusion and inclusion criteria,62 articles were finally included for review and analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In clinical tendinopathy patients or tendinopathy models,mitochondrial dysfunction is common,mainly represented by excessive production of reactive oxygen species,decreased activity of superoxide dismutase,ridge clutter and decreased number of mitochondria,which indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction will occur due to tendon injury,thus further worsening tendinopathy and forming a vicious cycle.(2)When the tendon has not been injured or tendinopathy has not yet occurred,the mitochondrial function will be affected by various internal and external factors,resulting in tendinopathy.This indicates that the normal tendon will be damaged,lesioned or even ruptured due to the abnormal function of the mitochondria.(3)Mechanical tensile stress,advanced glycosylation end products,aging and other internal and external factors are the main causes of mitochondrial dysfunction,and these factors will damage and weaken the biological activity and mechanical properties of normal tendons through molecular mechanisms such as apoptosis,inflammation and respiratory chain damage,and thereby induce tendinopathy.(4)According to molecular mechanisms,mitochondria-targeting therapies mainly include mitochondrial transfer/transplantation,transplantation,targeted antioxidants,etc.(5)This review mainly aims at clinical patients with tendinopathy or animal models with similar modeling methods,providing a reliable idea for clinical exploration of the pathogenesis of tendinopathy and targeted therapies for tendinopathy.However,the disadvantage is that the included studies are mainly animal experiments,and there is a lack of more clinical trials for verification.

Recent studies have revealed a significant association between Porphyromonas gingivalis(P.gingivalis)infection and poor prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Although cer-tain circular RNAs(circRNA)have been shown to suppress ESCC tumorigenesis and progression,their regulatory mechanisms in P.gingivalis infection-associated ESCC remain elusive.In this study,RT-qPCR analysis demonstrated that P.gingivalis infection downregulated hsa_circ_0057552 expression in ESCC cells and tissues in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Actinomycin D assays further confirmed that P.gingivalis infection reduced the RNA stability of hsa_circ_0057552 in ESCC cells(P＜0.05).Functional assays in vitro and a subcutaneous tumor xenograft model in vivo revealed that hsa_circ_0057552 overexpression significantly inhibited ESCC cell proliferation,migration,invasion,and tumor growth(P＜0.05).Additionally,PCR array screening combined with RT-qPCR and Western blotting in-dicated that P.gingivalis infection markedly upregulated human antigen R(HuR)expression at both RNA and protein levels(P＜0.05).Mechanistic investigations demonstrated that HuR knockdown signifi-cantly increased hsa_circ_0057552 expression(P＜0.01),whereas hsa_circ_0057552 overexpression had no regulatory effect on HuR.Finally,si-HuR treatment reversed the inhibitory effect of P.gingivalis on hsa_circ_0057552 transcription.This study demonstrated that P.gingivalis may promote the progression of ESCC through a novel mechanism involving the regulation of HuR/hsa_circ_0057552,thereby identif-ying a novel therapeutic target and molecular marker for P.gingivalis-associated ESCC.

Glioblastoma(GBM)is the most aggressive primary malignant tumor in the central nervous system.GBM frequently recurs after surgery and has limited therapeutic options.Hydrogels,characterized by their injectability,biocompatibility,and controlled drug release,of-fer innovative solutions for postoperative GBM management.Advances in hydrogel technology provide new avenues for personalized GBM treatments with significant clinical potential.This article focuses on the current progress in the research on hydrogels as carriers for chemo-therapeutic drugs,immunomodulatory platforms,and multimodal therapeutic systems.Key strategies,including thermo-and pH-responsive gels,co-delivery systems,and the regulation of macrophage function,are analyzed for their therapeutic efficacy.Additionally,the advant-ages of hydrogels in surgical cavity filling,targeted therapy,and recurrence prevention are highlighted.We also discuss the challenges in clin-ical translation and future directions of hydrogel application in postoperative GBM management.

Objective To explore the value of nomogram model based on MR T1WI enhanced radiomics features and clinical fac-tors in predicting the prognosis of gliomas.Methods A retrospective selection was conducted on 135 patients with postoperative pathologically confirmed gliomas,who were categorized into poor prognosis group(n=59)and good prognosis group(n=76)according to survival condition at 20 months postoperatively.All patients were randomly divided into training group(n=94)and validation group(n=41)in a 7︰3 ratio.Radiomics features were extracted by 3D Slicer software,and the extracted radiomics features were downscaled by intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC),t-test,least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression,and a total of 1 058 features were extracted for each patient,and 10 optimal radiomics features were obtained,to finally get the Radiomics score(Radscore).After combining clinical features and Radscore,a nomogram model was constructed.Results In the training group,Radscore was significantly higher in the poor prognosis group than that in the good prognosis group(t=8.773,P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of the training and validation groups of the radiomics model were 0.751[95%confidence interval(CI)0.654-0.849]and 0.606(95%CI 0.426-0.787),respectively.The AUC of the nomogram model were 0.899(95%CI 0.839-0.960)and 0.908(95%CI 0.823-0.994)in the training and validation groups,respectively,with much better predictive efficacy of the nomogram model.Conclusion A nomogram model based on MR T1WI enhanced radiomics features and clinical factors has good predictive efficacy in the prognosis of gliomas after surgery.
