Objective To systematically analyze the literature characteristics of Journal of Organ Transplantation since its inception. Methods Using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) academic journal full-text database as the data source, all articles published in the Journal of Organ Transplantation from January 2010 to August 2025 were retrieved. After excluding non-academic papers, a total of 1 568 research papers were included. R language 4.3.0, Bibliometrix package 3.2.1, and Citespace software were used to analyze the number of publications, publishing institutions, authors, keywords and other aspects. Results The number of publications in Journal of Organ Transplantation increased from an average of 82 articles per year in the early years after its inception to 113 articles per year in recent years, a growth of 37.8%. The geographical distribution of publishing institutions covers 32 provinces, cities and autonomous regions nationwide, mainly concentrated in the South China, East China and North China regions, and has now basically covered the central and western regions in recent years. The author collaboration network includes 45 authors distributed across 7 major collaboration clusters, forming a stable multi-level national research system centered on key university-affiliated hospitals. The high-frequency keywords are dominated by "liver transplantation" (425 times) and "kidney transplantation" (396 times). The theme evolution shows a clear three-stage characteristic: initially focusing on clinical technology application, deepening to immune mechanism exploration in the middle stage, and recently (since 2022) focusing on cutting-edge research areas such as xenotransplantation. Conclusions Journal of Organ Transplantation has witnessed the rapid development of China's organ transplantation cause, fully reflecting the research status and trends in China's organ transplantation field, and has provided an important platform for the future development and international cooperation in China's organ transplantation field.

BACKGROUND:Acupoint embedding and floating needle therapy are two methods for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis,but there are few reports on the combined treatment of the two methods. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of acupoint embedding combined with floating needle therapy on different stages of knee osteoarthritis using generalized estimating equations. METHODS:A total of 436 patients with knee osteoarthritis admitted to Dongguan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2019 to February 2023 were selected as the research subjects.All patients were randomly divided into a control group with floating needle therapy(n=218)and an observation group with acupoint embedding method combined with floating needle therapy(n=218).Staging was performed according to the K-L staging method.In the control group,there were 57 cases in stage Ⅰ,62 in stage Ⅱ,49 in phase Ⅲ,and 50 in stage Ⅳ,while in the observation group,there were 48 cases in stage Ⅰ,66 in stage Ⅱ,63 in phase Ⅲ,and 41 in stage Ⅳ.The levels of indexes and clinical efficacy were compared between groups before and after treatment.Generalized estimating equation model was used to analyze the influencing factors of clinical efficacy and the interaction effect of different time points,different methods and different stages on therapeutic efficacy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in baseline data between the observation group and the control group,as well as between the patients of different stages(P>0.05).After treatment,the cure rate of stage Ⅰ patients was the highest after treatment,and the total improvement rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group.There were significant differences in the cure rate among different stages in each group(P<0.05).After treatment,all indicators in the two groups were significantly decreased.In the control group,there were significant differences in various indicators of patients at different stages after 4 weeks of treatment(P<0.05).In the observation group,after 2 weeks of treatment,there were significant differences in various indicators of patients at different stages(P<0.05),and all the indexes in the observation were lower than those in the control group after 4 weeks of treatment(P<0.05)and the therapeutic effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group.Generalized estimating equation model analysis showed that trauma history,interleukin-6 level,treatment method,treatment time and K-L stage all significantly affected the clinical efficacy in patients.In the interaction effect analysis,after 2 weeks of treatment,there was a significant difference in the visual analogue scale score between the two groups in stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ(P<0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,there was a significant difference in the visual analogue scale score between the two groups in stages Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and Ⅳ(P<0.05).To conclude,acupoint embedding combined with floating needle therapy is superior to floating needle therapy alone in the treatment of different stages of knee osteoarthritis.Trauma history,interleukin-6 level,treatment method,treatment time and K-L stage significantly influence the therapeutic effect.

Purpose To explore the feasibility and validity of radiomics combined with blind/referenceless image spatial quality evaluator(Brisque)for automated assessment of arterial-phase image quality in hepatic gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA)dynamic enhanced MRI examinations.Materials and Methods A total of 326 arterial phase images from January 2020 to March 2024 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine for liver Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic enhancement MRI examination were retrospectively collected.A 4-level(1-4 points)Likert scale was used for subjective image quality scoring,and then binary classification was used to divide the images into clinically acceptable group(166 images with a score of 2-4)and clinically unacceptable group(160 images with a score of 1).All images were randomly divided into a training set(227 images)and a test set(99 images)in a 7∶3 ratio.Brisque images were created based on arterial-phase images,and subsequently Brisque image features,image histologic features of the original arterial-phase images and combined features of the two were extracted.The extracted data were reduced in dimension and the optimal features of radiomics were selected.Based on the Logistic regression algorithm,radiomics models,Brisque models and combined models of the two were constructed.The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn for each subject,and the area under the curve(AUC),threshold,sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,negative predictive value and positive predictive value were calculated to analyze the diagnostic performance of each model,and the net benefit of the models was evaluated by decision curve analysis.Results The AUC values of the radiomics model,Brisque model and combined model in the training set were 0.942(95%CI 0.914-0.969),0.722(95%CI 0.655-0.788)and 0.967(95%CI 0.947-0.987),respectively.In the test set,the AUC values were 0.904(95%CI 0.848-0.960),0.684(95%CI 0.579-0.789)and 0.920(95%CI 0.866-0.972),respectively.There was statistically significant difference between two of the three models in the training set(Z=6.493,3.397,7.427;all P<0.05);in the test set,there was statistically significant difference between the combined model and the Brisque model,and between the radiomics model and the Brisque model(Z=4.137,3.740,both P<0.05),but no statistically significant difference between the combined model and the radiomics model(P>0.05).The diagnostic performance was higher in the combined model in both the training set and the test set.The decision curve analysis curve suggested that the net benefit of the combined model was greater than that of the other two models.Conclusion Radiomics combined with Brisque can be applied in the assessment of the quality of arterial-phase images in Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic-enhanced MRI examinations of the liver to automatically detect clinically unacceptable arterial-phase images of the liver with high diagnostic efficacy,which contributes to the improvement of the quality of the images at the time of acquisition,leading to a reduction in the number of duplicate scans and an increase in the accuracy of the diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the status of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in male large-scale mechanical maintenance workers, and to explore the relationship between WMSDs and thyroid indexes.Methods:From April to July 2022, male front-line maintenance workers in a large-scale mechanical maintenance enterprise who participated in occupational health examination were selected as the study subjects ( n=2036). The occurrence of WMSDs was investigated by questionnaire. The levels of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in serum were detected. χ2 test, t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to detect thyroid diseases and hormone levels of workers in WMSDs group and non-WMSDs group, and binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between thyroid disease, T3, T4, TSH and WMSDs. Results:The incidence of WMSDs among the male large-scale mechanical maintenance workers was 73.18% (1490/2036). The rate of thyroid disease in WMSDs group was higher than that in non-WMSDs group [8.26% (123/1490) vs. 4.95% (27/546), χ 2=6.42, P=0.011], and the TSH value was lower than that in non-WMSDs group[1.66 (1.23, 2.26) μIU/ml vs. 1.75 (1.30, 2.42) μIU/ml, Z=-2.40, P=0.019]. There were no significant differences in the levels of T3, T4 and abnormal levels of 3 hormones between the two groups ( P>0.05). After accounting for individual and occupational factors, workers with thyroid disease had an increased risk of WMSDs ( OR=1.656, 95% CI: 1.072-2.559, P=0.023), while workers with increased TSH had a decreased risk of WMSDs ( OR=0.897, 95% CI: 0.823-0.977, P=0.013) . Conclusion:The incidence of WMSDs in male workers of large-scale mechanical maintenance is high, and its incidence may be related to thyroid index. Thyroid disease may be a risk factor for WMSDs, and increased TSH may be a protective factor for WMSDs.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)levels and cerebral microbleeds(CMBs)and cognitive impairment and to assess the predictive value of HIF-1α for CSVD-related cognitive impairment.Methods A total of 104 patients with CSVD who attended the Department of Neurology,First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from June 2022 to November 2023 were enrolled.All enrolled patients were subjected to basic statistics,cranial nuclear magnetic resonance examination,cognitive function assessment,and serum HIF-1α test,and the number and location of CMBs were counted.Based on the above data the enrolled patients were grouped.The correlation between HIF-1α and cognitive function and CMBs was studied the influencing factors of CMBs and cognitive impairment were analyzed,and the predictive value of HIF-1α on the occurrence of cognitive impairment was evaluated.Results There were statistically significant differences in HIF-1α levels and cognitive function among different CMBs groups.Serum HIF-1α levels were significantly negatively correlated with overall cognitive function,visuospatial and executive function,attention,and delayed recall,and serum HIF-1α was positively correlated with the number of CMBs.HIF-1α may be a risk factor for CMBs and cognitive impairment associated with CSVD,and serum HIF-1α has potential in predict the cognitive impairment caused by CSVD.Conclusion Serum levels of HIF-1α were associated with the number of CMB and CSVD-related cognitive impairment,and serum levels of HIF-1α may have a predictive value for CSVD-related cognitive impairment.

Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) is a common and lethal manifestation of advanced gastric cancer, with a median survival of only 5-11 months. This consensus was developed by 30 experts from Asia (China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore) using the Delphi method and the GRADE evidence grading system. A total of 29 statements were formulated, covering the diagnosis and assessment of GCPM, indications for laparoscopic exploration and NIPS (normothermic intraperitoneal and systemic treatment), treatment regimens, prevention and management of complications, criteria for conversion surgery, and postoperative intraperitoneal therapy. The consensus aims to standardize clinical practice and improve the prognosis of patients with GCPM.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB)has become the standard technique for axillary staging in breast cancer,promoting a more in-dividualized approach to axillary surgery.This review discusses several current emerging issues in SLNB for patients with breast cancer:inpa-tients with 1-2 positive sentinel lymph nodes(SLNs),studies such as SENOMAC have reinforced the safety of omitting axillary lymph node dissection(ALND),although careful consideration remains necessary for patients with abnormal axillary imaging findings and in the context of post-operative regional nodal radiotherapy strategies.Omission of SLNB may be appropriate in early-stage patients with clinically and ra-diologically negative axilla under strictly defined conditions to further minimize surgical trauma.In parallel,techniques for SLNB after neoad-juvant therapy continue to advance,with tumor safety outcomes becoming increasingly reliable,and the dual de-escalation of both surgery and radiotherapy may be anticipated.In addition,regional lymph nodes serve not only as the initial site of tumor metastasis but also as crit-ical hubs of the adaptive immune response,positioning SLNs a potential window into tumor immune surveillance.

Objective:To observe the effectiveness of combining mirror therapy with pneumatic flexible glove training in treating hand dysfunction after a stroke. Its effect on cerebral cortex activation was documented using near-infrared functional imaging of the brain.Methods:A total of 84 stroke survivors with hand dysfunction were randomly divided into a Mirror Group, a Glove Group and a Combined Group, each of 28. In addition to standard rehabilitation training, the Glove Group received 20 minutes of training with a pneumatic soft glove, 5 days per week for 6 consecutive weeks. The Mirror Group received mirror therapy (MT). The Combined Group was given both simultaneously. Before and after the treatment, everyone′s upper limb functioning was evaluated (using the Fugl-Meyer Upper Limb Assessment (FMA-U)), along with their hand motor skills (using the Arm Action Test (ARAT)) and their ability in daily living activities (using the Barthel Index (BI)). Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was employed to measure any changes in oxygenated hemoglobin (HBO) concentration at 730nm and 850nm wavelengths.Results:The FMA-U, ATAT and BI scores in both the proximal and distal regions of all three groups showed significant improvement after the treatments compared to pre-treatment levels. The combined group demonstrated significantly better distal FMA-U and ARAT scores after the treatment (12.25±8.80 and 20.93±15.68 respectively), outperforming both the glove and mirror groups. The infrared spectroscopy revealed that bilateral SM1 activation, affected-side somatosensory association cortex (SAC) and supplementary motor cortex excitability in both the mirror and combined groups were significantly better than among the glove group after the experiment.Conclusions:Combined with pneumatic flexible glove training, mirror therapy can not only significantly improve the hand function of stroke survivors, but also activate the relevant brain regions of both hemispheres through bilateral motor patterns combined with multisensory stimulation, promoting the balance between hemispheres.
