Objective To explore the feasibility and reference value of allogeneic lung transplantation and postoperative monitoring in miniature pigs for lung transplantation research. Methods Two miniature pigs (R1 and R2) underwent left lung allogeneic transplantation. Complement-dependent cytotoxicity tests and blood cross-matching were performed before surgery. The main operative times and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) after opening the pulmonary artery were recorded during surgery. Postoperatively, routine blood tests, biochemical blood indicators and inflammatory factors were detected, and pathological examinations of multiple organs were conducted. Results The complement-dependent cytotoxicity test showed that the survival rate of lymphocytes between donors and recipients was 42.5%-47.3%, and no agglutination reaction occurred in the cross-matching. The first warm ischemia times of D1 and D2 were 17 min and 10 min, respectively, and the cold ischemia times were 246 min and 216 min, respectively. Ultimately, R1 and R2 survived for 1.5 h and 104 h, respectively. Postoperatively, in R1, albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLB) decreased, and alanine aminotransferase increased; in R2, ALB, GLB and aspartate aminotransferase all increased. Urea nitrogen and serum creatinine increased in both recipients. Pathological results showed that in R1, the transplanted lung had partial consolidation with inflammatory cell infiltration, and multiple organs were congested and damaged. In R2, the transplanted lung had severe necrosis with fibrosis, and multiple organs had mild to moderate damage. The expression levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 increased in the transplanted lungs. Conclusions The allogeneic lung transplantation model in miniature pigs may systematically evaluate immunological compatibility, intraoperative function and postoperative organ damage. The data obtained may provide technical references for subsequent lung transplantation research.

Pulmonary fibrosis(PF) is a progressive and life-threatening disease with limited therapeutic options, highlighting the urgent need for innovative drug discovery strategies. To address this challenge, the authors propose the formula-originated rational intelligent screening&translation(FIRST), a systematic framework for developing anti-fibrotic monomers derived from classical traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). The strategy integrates three key dimensions, including tissue-oriented intelligent screening of active compounds, structural optimization based on drug-target spatial interactions and plant biosynthetic pathways, and cross-scale validation of drug. We further highlight its applications in discovering tissue-oriented novel drugs from clinically validated TCM, the development and mechanistic elucidation of anti-fibrotic therapeutics, as well as the clinical translation and secondary development of candidate drugs. This strategy paves the way for first-in-class, formula-derived monomeric drugs with defined structures, clarified mechanisms, and proven safety, offering a transformative avenue to meet the urgent therapeutic needs of PF and setting a new paradigm for TCM-based drug innovation.

Aim To investigate the effects of Ixerin Z,a sesquiterpene lactone from Ixeris sonchifolia,on bone-lipid metabolic imbalance in ApoE-/-mice and to elu-cidate its molecular mechanisms.Methods A mouse model of ApoE-/-was induced using a high-fat diet,followed by eight weeks of Ixerin Z administration at doses of 1 and 10 mg·kg-1.Serum markers related to bone-lipid metabolism and inflammatory cytokines were quantified.Bone mineral density,biomechanical prop-erties,bone tissue morphology,and bone microstructure changes were analyzed.Computational molecular doc-king was performed to identify potential target proteins of Ixerin Z,and its regulatory effects on bone-lipid me-tabolism were investigated.Results Treatment with Ixerin Z markedly decreased the serum levels of total cholesterol,triglycerides,TNF-α,and IL-1β in ApoE-/-mice.It significantly improved bone mineral density,enhanced biomechanical strength,restored tra-becular structure,and reduced fat accumulation in bone tissue.Investigations revealed that Ixerin Z activated PPARα,thereby promoting fatty acid β-oxidation in bone tissue,and stimulating the Wnt/β-Catenin signa-ling pathway to facilitate bone formation.Furthermore,Ixerin Z suppressed the OPG/RANKL/NF-κB signaling pathway,leading to reduced bone resorption,independ-ent of PPARα activation.Conclusions Ixerin Z dem-onstrates potent therapeutic effects on bone-lipid meta-bolic imbalance in ApoE-/-mice.The mechanism in-volves activating PPARα to promote fatty acid β-oxida-tion in bone tissue,activating PPARα/Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway to promote bone formation,and in-hibiting OPG/RANKL/NF-κB signaling pathway to re-duce bone resorption.

Objective To identify risk factors for colorectal adenomatous polyps using logistic regression analysis,construct a prediction model based on these identified factors,and subsequently evaluate the performance of the model.Methods Encompassed 1,023 patients who underwent large intestine polyp resection at the First Hospital of Handan between January 2017 and January 2022.Among these patients,676 had adenomatous polyps(adenomatous polyp group)and 347 had non-adenomatous polyps(non-adenomatous polyp group).We collected data on basic information,medical history,colonoscopy results,and polyp pathology.By comparing the two groups,we identified significant differences in various indicators,which were selected as candidate factors for model construction.Patients were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set at an 8∶2 ratio.Using the training set data,we constructed a risk prediction model and developed a nomogram using R Studio software to visually present the model.Finally,we internally validated the model using the validation set.The model's discrimination ability was evaluated using the ROC curve,its accuracy was assessed via the calibration curve,and its clinical utility was evaluated through decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of age,drinking habits,family history of colorectal cancer,hyperlipid-emia,history of cholecystectomy,HP infection,and history of appendectomy(P<0.05).These variables were included in the model construction.A total of 818 participants were randomly assigned to the training set,while 205 were allocated to the validation set.Multivariate logistic regression analysis on the training set confirmed that age(OR=1.021,95%CI:1.006~1.036,P=0.006),alcohol consumption(OR=3.440,95%CI:2.251~5.257,P<0.001),first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer(OR=3.775,95%CI:1.881~7.577,P<0.001),hyperlipidemia(OR=3.428,95%CI:2.443~4.808,P<0.001),history of cholecystectomy(OR=3.916,95%CI:1.756~8.735,P<0.001),Helicobacter pylori(HP)infection(OR=3.292,95%CI:2.309~4.693,P<0.001),and history of appendectomy(OR=3.819,95%CI:2.002~7.286,P<0.001)were independent risk factors for adenomatous polyps.Consequently,a prediction model for large intestine adenomatous polyps was developed using the formula P=1/(1+e-Y),where Y=0.020×age+1.328×first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer+1.235×alcohol consumption+1.232×hyperlipidemia+1.365×cholecystectomy+1.192×HP infection+1.340×appendectomy-1.995.The model demonstrated good performance with AUC values of 0.763(95%CI:0.729~0.797)for the training set and 0.769(95%CI:0.644~0.787)for the validation set.The calibration curve indicated a good fit,and decision curve analysis showed that the model could achieve positive net benefit across a wide range of threshold probabilities,confirming its clinical utility.Conclusions Age,alcohol consumption,a family history of colorectal cancer in first-degree relatives,hyperlipidemia,cholecystectomy,HP infection,and appendectomy were identified as independent risk factors for adenomatous polyps.A prediction model incorporating these risk factors holds significant practical value for predicting the occurrence of colorectal adenomatous polyps.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors related to compulsive exercise in junior high school students.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study, in which 836 students enrolled in the 7 th and 8 th grades of the junior high school in Kaifeng City, Henan Province, were consecutively selected from June 1-28, 2023, and their general information was collected, and questionnaires were evaluated by using Compulsive Exercise Test, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and the Body Image Concern. A total of 836 questionnaires were distributed and 836 questionnaires were returned, of which 797 (95.33%) were valid. Spearman′s correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between alexithymia, positive affects, negative affects, body image concern and compulsive exercise; and hierarchical regression analysis was used to assess the effects of alexithymia, positive and negative affects, and body image concern on compulsive exercise in male and female junior high school students. Results:Of the 797 junior high school students included in the analysis, 377 were male, aged (14.41±0.59) years with a height of (1.73±0.07) m and a weight of (63.72±14.31) kg; and 420 were female, aged (14.35±0.55) years with a height of (1.64±0.05) m and a weight of (52.59±8.34) kg. In male and female junior high school students, alexithymia, positive affects, negative affects, and body image concern were positively correlated with compulsive exercise (male: r=0.289, 0.291, 0.286, 0.259, female: r=0.226, 0.297, 0.121, 0.244) (all P<0.05). After controlling for body mass index and age, alexithymia, positive affect, negative affect and body image concern positively predicted compulsive exercise in male students ( β=0.286, 0.294, 0.195, 0.192), and alexithymia, positive affect and body image concern positively predicted compulsive exercise in female students ( β=0.216, 0.349, 0.202) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Alexithymia and body image concern can increase the risk of compulsive exercise in both male and female junior high school students, and negative affect can increase the risk of compulsive exercise in male students.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.
