Objective To explore a method for rapid and differential diagnosis of rejection after kidney transplantation through urine hyperspectral imaging technology. Methods Hyperspectral data information from urine samples of 118 recipients after kidney transplantation was collected, and a deep learning model was constructed to diagnose and classify the types of rejection. Results A deep learning diagnostic model based on the 34-layer residual network (ResNet-34) was constructed, and 118 patients were included and divided into the training set and the test set. Based on the pathological results of the transplanted kidney puncture, the urine samples of the patients were classified into five groups: the non-rejection group, the T-cell-mediated rejection group, the antibody-mediated rejection group, the mixed rejection group and the nephropathy recurrence group. The results showed that the diagnostic sensitivities of the model for the above five groups were 0.960, 0.980, 0.930, 0.940 and 0.943 respectively, and the diagnostic specificities were 0.983, 0.993, 0.997, 0.989 and 0.989 respectively. The overall diagnostic accuracy rate reached 95.7%. Conclusions The study provides a non-invasive, rapid and accurate auxiliary diagnostic method for the differential diagnosis of rejection after kidney transplantation.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of combined complete preservation of chordal structure mitral valve replacement (C-MVR) with total anatomical arterial myocardial revascularization (TACR) in coronary patients with moderate-to-severe or severe ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR).Methods:This is a retrospective multi-center case series study. Data were retrospectively collected from 127 patients with coronary artery disease with moderate to severe or severe IMR who received TACR with C-MVR from July 2015 to April 2024 in 13 hospitals in China. There were 90 males and 37 females, aged (56.5±10.7) years (range: 33 to 74 years). Perioperative data and follow-up data including left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, and patency rate of arterial grafts of patients were collected. Comparisons were made using paired sample t-test or χ2 test. Results:In this cohort of 127 patients, 67 underwent concurrent tricuspid valve repair. During surgery, 113 grafts of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA), 127 grafts of the left radial artery, 80 grafts of the right radial artery, and 110 grafts of the right internal mammary artery (RIMA) were harvested. The number of the distal anastomosis was 4.2±0.4 (range: 3 to 5). The aortic cross-clamp time and cardiopulmonary bypass time were (97.5±23.4) minutes (range: 90 to 161 minutes) and (145.4±19.2) minutes (range: 101 to 210 minutes), respectively. There was one operative death. Intraoperative placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump was performed in 21 patients to improve the left ventricular ejection. No sternal ischemic occurred. All patients completed follow-up, with a mean follow-up period of (64.3±7.5) months (range: 4 to 110 months). No major cerebrovascular events occurred during the follow-up period, and all patients survived. Left ventricular ejection fraction improved postoperatively (55.0%±5.3% vs. 41.0%±15.3%, t=17.23, P<0.01). The proportion of patients with New York Heart Association functional class ≤2 increased postoperatively (23.6% (30/127) vs. 87.3% (110/126), χ2=103.77, P<0.01). The proportion of patients with Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Classification ≤3 decreased postoperatively (4.8% (6/126) vs. 78.7% (100/127), χ2=142.19, P<0.01). The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter decreased postoperatively ((5.70±4.50) cm vs. (6.10±0.23) cm, t=12.15, P<0.01). Coronary multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) follow-up was conducted for (60.5±11.7) months (range: 6 to 109 months) postoperatively. MDCTA confirmed the patency rates of the grafts: 96.4% (108/112) for the LIMA grafts, 88.9% (112/126) for the left radial artery grafts, 93.7% (74/79) for the right radial artery grafts, and 90.9% (100/110) for the free RIMA grafts. No significant differences in graft patency rates were observed between the arterial grafts ( χ2=5.24, P=0.155). Conclusion:The results of this multi-centre study demonstrate satisfactory mid-term results of C-MVR with TACR for the treatment of coronary artery disease with moderate to severe or severe IMR.

The clinical practice guidelines for Chinese patent medicines （CPM） provide reference for the selection of national drug catalogs， the formulation of prescription collections in medical institutions， and the clinical use of CPM， constituting an important part of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） guidelines. As a crucial part of Chinese drug supply guarantee system， CPM plays an important role in the treatment， prevention， and healthcare of many disease categories， whereas the application of CPM has problems of misuse and even abuse. To standardize the application of CPM， a research team at Zhejiang Chinese Medical University developed the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare for Chinese Patent Medicines （RIGHT for CPM） based on the RIGHT checklist framework. The RIGHT for CPM checklist gathers key information from published CPM guidelines， existing TCM reporting checklists， and the RIGHT checklist and its extensions to form an initial pool of reporting items. Seventeen experts from different disciplines were invited to conduct two rounds of Delphi surveys， and the final checklist was reviewed and approved for publication by 18 leading experts in TCM research and guideline reporting from China and abroad. The RIGHT for CPM checklist adds 16 sub-items and revises 2 sub-items on the basis of the RIGHT checklist， highlighting the characteristics of CPM guideline reporting. It considers CPM selection and inclusion criteria， policy access， indications and symptoms， drug combination instructions， drug use in special populations， precautions， and recommendations of Western medical physicians， among others. This can further improve the quality and transparency of CPM guideline reporting， promote standardized reporting of CPM guidelines， and facilitate the rational clinical use of CPM. This article interprets the development process of the RIGHT for CPM checklist and the items that highlight the characteristics of CPM guidelines， with a view to promoting the application of the RIGHT for CPM checklist.

ObjectiveThis study employed the scoping review method to systematically retrieve and analyze the basic information and clinical research evidence of expensive Chinese patent medicines （CPMs）， aiming to provide a basis for future related research and clinical applications. MethodsEight Chinese and English databases were systematically searched for the clinical research evidence on expensive CPMs. ResultsEleven expensive CPMs （Angong Niuhuang Wan， Jufang Zhibao Wan， Suhexiang Wan， Pien Tze Huang， Niuhuang Qingxin Wan， Qinggong Shoutao Wan， Compound Realgar Natural Indigo Tablets， Xihuang Wan， Dingkun Wan， Babao Wan， and Guilingji Capsules） were selected. A total of 365 related studies were included in this review， comprising 331 clinical studies （of which 291 were randomized controlled trials）， 30 systematic reviews and Meta-analyses， 3 expert consensus， and 1 rapid health technology assessment. Among the 11 CPMs， 2（Angong Niuhuang Wan and Jufang Zhibao Wan） had a daily price over 500 yuan. The famous and precious Chinese medicinal materials involved included Moschus （frequency of 7）， Bovisc Alculus （7）， and Borneol （5）. The dosage forms included pills， capsules， oral liquid， tablets， and lozenges. The diseases treated by these CPMs mainly included malignant tumors， cerebrovascular diseases， gynecological diseases， and hepatobiliary system diseases. The sample sizes of the clinical studies were mainly concentrated within the range of 51-100 cases， and the main control form was CPM + basic Western medicine treatment vs. basic Western medicine treatment. The 331 clinical studies reported a total of 44 adverse events occurred， of which 36 were determined to be adverse reactions. ConclusionThe scarcity of raw materials leads to the high prices of expensive CPMs. The difficulty of conducting clinical research and the critical and severe cases treated lead to a lack of clinical research evidence with large sample sizes. The uneven distribution of existing studies， incomplete information on medicine package， and non-standard clinical research designs remain to be addressed in the future.

ObjectiveTo observe the analgesic efficacy and safety of Qihuang acupuncture theory combined with opioid analgesics in patients with moderate to severe cancer pain due to lung cancer. MethodsPatients with moderate to severe cancer pain from lung cancer were randomly divided into Qihuang acupuncture group and control group， with 33 cases in each group. The control group was treated with long-acting opioid analgesics at maintenance doses and supplementary analgesic medications as needed. In case of breakthrough pain， short-acting opioids were used for rescue. The Qihuang acupuncture group received Qihuang acupuncture treatment in addition to the treatment used in the control group， administered once every other day， with 3 sessions constituting one treatment course. The treatment duration for both groups was 5 days. The primary outcome was the change in pain intensity， measured using the numerical rating scale （NRS） before and after treatment， and the NRS change rate was calculated. Secondary endpoints included the daily NRS change rate， the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group （ECOG） Performance Status （PS） score， the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire （EORTC QLQ-C30） score， and the 24-hour equivalent hydrocodone sustained-release tablet dose. Laboratory tests， including routine blood， urine， stool， liver function， and kidney function， were performed before and after treatment. Adverse events were recorded throughout the trial. ResultsAll patients completed the trial， and both groups showed a decrease in average NRS scores and PS scores after treatment， with the Qihuang acupuncture group showing lower average NRS scores and PS scores than the control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After treatment， the NRS change rate in the Qihuang acupuncture group was （0.42±0.17）， significantly higher than that in the control group （0.14±0.27， P＜0.01）. The daily NRS change rate during treatment was also higher in the Qihuang acupuncture group compared to the control group （P＜0.01）. The Qihuang acupuncture group showed an increase in overall health status and functional scores in the EORTC QLQ-C30， and a decrease in symptom scores for fatigue， nausea and vomiting， pain， dyspnea， insomnia， appetite loss， constipation， and financial difficulties. In contrast， overall health status and constipation scores in the control group increased， while scores of fatigue， nausea and vomiting， pain， and appetite loss decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After treatment， the 24-hour equivalent hydrocodone sustained-release tablet dose did not show significant difference in the Qihuang acupuncture group （P＞0.05）， while the control group showed a significant increase in the 24-hour dose （P＜0.01）. No significant abnormalities were observed in laboratory tests before and after treatment in either group. During the study， the incidence of nausea and vomiting as well as constipation in the Qihuang acupuncture group was both 3.03% （1/33）， while the incidence in the control group was 27.27% （9/33） and 36.36% （12/33）， respectively， with the Qihuang acupuncture group showing significantly lower incidence （P＜0.01）. No serious adverse reactions were observed in either group. ConclusionQihuang acupuncture therapy combined with opioid analgesics is more effective than using opioids alone in relieving pain in patients with moderate to severe cancer pain due to lung cancer. It can improve the patients' physical condition and quality of life， reduce the dose of opioid analgesics， and has good safety.

ObjectiveStarting from the etiology， pathogenesis， and treatment strategies of endometriosis and adenomyosis， to integrate and sort out the academic characteristics of contemporary renowned experts and schools in the field of traditional Chinese medicine gynecology. MethodsAccording to the systematic review of text and opinion （SrTO） process developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute （JBI） in Australia， this paper determined literature screening criteria by searching China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， VIP， Wanfang， and China Biomedical Literature Database. Information was extracted after literature screening， and quality evaluation was conducted using the JBI Narrative， Text， and Opinion Systematic Review Strict Evaluation Checklist. The JBI Narrative， Opinion， Text Evaluation， and Review Tool Summary Table was used for information synthesis， and data analysis and display were conducted in the form of text and charts. ResultsThe 146 articles related to 39 renowned experts and 19 articles related to 10 schools of thought were included. Research has found that contemporary experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology consider blood stasis as the core pathogenesis in understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of two diseases and related infertility. Their viewpoints varied from multiple aspects such as clinical symptom characteristics， meridian circulation location， pathological product evolution， disease duration， emotional psychology， lifestyle habits， preference for food and drink， innate endowment， and acquired injury. In terms of treatment， it was advocated to divide the stage， treat according to different types， adapt to the times， integrate nature and humans， and combine multiple methods to treat comprehensively when necessary. It was also recommended to skillfully use insects， make good use of classic formulas and small prescriptions， pay attention to protecting the spleen and stomach and regulating emotions， and make good use of self-formulated empirical formulas for internal or external use. Besides， individualized long-term management of patients was also advocated. ConclusionThis study applies the SrTO process to systematically summarize the academic ideas of contemporary renowned experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology regarding the causes， mechanisms， diagnosis， and treatments of endometriosis， providing a scientific and standardized reference for future theoretical exploration.

Compared to other antidiabetic drugs， there was no statistical significance in the risk of semaglutide in pancreatic cancer [RR＝0.62， 95%CI（0.18， 2.09）， P＝0.44]， thyroid cancer [RR＝1.09， 95%CI（0.25， 4.78）， P＝0.90]， prostate cancer [RR＝2.09， 95%CI（0.46， 9.47）， P＝0.34]， skin cancer [RR＝1.76， 95%CI（0.65， 4.72）， P＝0.26]， gastrointestinal cancer [RR＝0.68， 95%CI（0.19， 2.35）， P＝0.54]， colorectal cancer [RR＝0.60， 95%CI（0.20， 1.78）， P＝0.36]， lung cancer [RR＝1.00， 95%CI（0.24， 4.11）， P＝1.00]， breast cancer [RR＝0.82， 95%CI（0.25， 2.66）， P＝0.74] or all malignant neoplasms [RR＝1.36， 95%CI（0.96， 1.94）， P＝0.09]. CONCLUSIONS Semaglutide does not increase the risk of any type of malignant neoplasms in T2DM patients.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) in rats with primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation. Methods Twenty-four male Lewis rats were randomly divided into donor and recipient groups, with 12 rats in each group. The recipients were further divided into 3 groups: blank control group, negative control group, and treatment group, with 4 rats in each group. The color, size and texture of the transplanted lungs were observed 72 h after lung transplantation. The ventilation status and progression of consolidation in the transplant lungs of rats in each group were evaluated by micro-CT. Plasma, transplant lung tissue and alveolar lavage fluid samples of recipient rats were collected. The wet/dry ratio of lung tissue was measured to evaluate the degree of pulmonary edema. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to evaluate the degree of lung tissue damage. Terminal deoxyribonucleic acid transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining was used to evaluate cell apoptosis. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in lung tissue was detected, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels in plasma and alveolar lavage fluid. Results The appearance of the transplant lungs in the negative control group was significantly different from that of the autologous lungs, while the transplant lungs in the treatment group were almost identical in color to the autologous lungs compared to the blank control group. Compared with the negative control group, the treatment group showed reduced alveolar exudate and more intact airway epithelial cell structure. No alveolar exudate was observed in the blank control group, and the structure of the airways and alveoli remained normal. The treatment group had lower apoptosis rate of airway epithelial cells, lung tissue wet/dry ratio, and MPO activity compared to the negative control group (all P < 0.05). The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the treatment group were lower than those in the negative control group, while the level of IL-10 was higher than that in the negative control group and the blank control group (all P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the levels of cytokines in plasma among each group (all P > 0.05). Conclusions UC-MSC may effectively alleviate the severity of primary graft dysfunction in rats by reducing the apoptosis rate of cells in lung tissue and inhibiting inflammatory responses.

OBJECTIVE To establish a multi-index quantitative detection method， and to evaluate the quality difference of Gleditsia sinensis from different producing areas. METHODS The contents of protocatechuic acid， vanillic acid， isoscopoletin， scoparone， isovitexin， fustin， taxifolin， fisetin， quercetin， kaempferol， echinocystic acid， betulinic acid， β -sitosterol and stigmasterol were detected by high performance liquid chromatography-quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker （HPLC-QAMS）. The chromatographic column was Kromasil C18， the mobile phase was 0.2% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile solution （gradient elution）， the detection wavelengths were 254， 360， 210 nm for different index components， the column temperature was 30 ℃ ， the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min， and the sample injection volume was 10 μL. The contents of extract and total ash were detected according to the method of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The quality differences of 30 batches of G. sinensis （No. S1-S30） from different producing areas were evaluated by chemometrics， weighted technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution （TOPSIS） analysis and Logistic regression model. RESULTS The linear ranges of 14 components were 1.55-77.50， 0.71- 35.50， 0.28-14.00， 0.96-48.00， 1.77-88.50， 0.09-4.50， 4.65-232.50， 1.49-74.50， 0.37-18.50， 1.18-59.00， 7.35-367.50， 3.58- 179.00， 0.49-24.50 and 0.21-10.50 μg/mL， respectively （all r＞0.999）. The RSDs of precision， stability （24 h） and repeatability were less than 2.00%； the average recoveries were 96.99%-100.13% （all RSDs＜2.00%）， and the relative correction factor had good repeatability. The contents of extract and total ash were Δ 基金项目 湖北省中医药科研立项青年人才项目 （No. 4.2%-12.5% and 0.5%-2.3%， respectively. There was no ZY2019Q014） significant difference in the content of 14 components measured by QAMS method and external standard method （P＞0.05）. The results of chemometrics showed that 30 batches of samples were clustered into 3 categories： S1 to S11 form one category， S12 to S20 form another category， and S21 to S30 constitute the third category. Echinocystic acid， betulinic acid， taxifolin， kaempferol， isovitexin， scoparone and protocatechuic acid may be the differential components affecting the quality of G. sinensis from different producing areas. The analysis results of the weighted TOPSIS method revealed that relative closeness （Jb） for 30 batches of G. sinensis ranged from 0.144 5 to 0.721 8， with S27 achieving the highest value （Jb） of 0.721 8. The analysis results of the Logistic regression model showed that S21-S30 batches of samples were of superior grade， S1-S11 were of intermediate grade， and S12-S20 were of inferior grade. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC-QAMS method is simple and accurate. The comprehensive evaluation method is objective and comprehensive， and can be used to evaluate the quality difference of G. sinensis from different producing areas.
