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.

Objective To establish an acute rejection model of cervical heart transplantation in mice and evaluate the survival and dynamic rejection process post-transplantation. Methods Mice were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=10), syngeneic transplantation group (n=21), and allogeneic transplantation group (n=65). Sham operation, syngeneic cervical heart transplantation, and allogeneic cervical heart transplantation were performed respectively. The survival of recipient mice and grafts, histopathological changes of graft tissues, subpopulations of splenic lymphocytes, and expression of inflammatory factors in serum and grafts were observed. Results The survival rate and graft survival rate of the sham operation group and syngeneic transplantation group were 100% at 7 days after surgery. In the allogeneic transplantation group, 5 cases failed and died on the first day after surgery. The survival rate at 7 days after surgery was 86%, and all surviving mice had grafts that stopped beating at 7 days after surgery. The allogeneic transplantation group showed significant rejection at 7 days after surgery, accompanied by tissue damage and CD8+ T cell infiltration. The proportion of CD8+ T cells in the spleen continued to rise post-operation, while the proportion of CD4+ T cells showed a downward trend. The expression of interferon-γ in serum and grafts peaked at 5 days after surgery, while the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α showed no statistical significance. Conclusions Acute rejection following heart transplantation in mice intensifies between 5 to 7 days after surgery, which may be a critical time window for immunological intervention.

Objective:To observe the diuretic effects of Zhuling Decoction on mice with adriamycin nephropathy (ADRN); To explore its mechanism.Methods:Totally 32 SPF male C57BL/6 mice were divided into a blank group of 7 mice and a model group of 25 mice using a random number table method. ADRN model was prepared by single tail vein injection of 0.01 g/kg of amphotericin. Two weeks later, the successfully modeled mice were divided into a model group (7 mice), a furosemide group (8 mice), and a Zhuling Decoction group (8 mice). The blank group and model group mice were given equal volumes of injection water by gavage. The furosemide group was given 2.6 mg/kg of furosemide by gavage, and the Zhuling Decoction group was given 6.5 g/kg of Zhuling Decoction by gavage, once a day, for 8 consecutive weeks. Changes in body weight and urine output of mice were observed. A biochemical analyzer was used to detect 24-hour urinary protein quantification and blood potassium and SCr levels in mice. HE staining was used to observe pathological changes in mouse kidneys, and immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the homology of cyclin dependent kinase 18 (CDK18), STIP1, and the expressions of U-box protein 1 (STUB1) and aquaporin 2 (AQP2) in mouse kidney tissue cells.Results:Compared with the model group, both the furosemide and Zhuling Decoction groups exhibited increased 24-hour urine output ( P<0.05); compared with the model group and furosemide group, Zhuling Decoction group showed reduced average optical density values and protein expressions of CDK18 and AQP2 ( P<0.05) and increased STUB1 average optical density value and protein expression ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Zhuling Decoction can increase 24-hour urine output in ADRN mice, and the mechanism may be related to down-regulation of CDK18 and AQP2 protein expressions and up-regulation of STUB1 protein expression, thereby modulating the CDK18/STUB1/AQP2 pathway and reducing water reabsorption.

This article aimed to summarise the clinical experience of Professor XIONG Jibai in treating henoch-schonlein purpura (HSP) from the perspective of "simultaneous treatment of wind and blood". HSP was devided into acute phase and transitional phase in clinic. It was considered that the wind pathogen exists throughout the disease course, and the treatment is guided by the "four methods of treating blood" in TANG Rongchuan's Treatise on Blood Syndromes - Blood Vomiting (《血证论·吐血》), which are stanching bleeding, expelling stasis, tranquilising blood, and tonifying blood. In the acute phase, wind-heat damaging collateral symdrome and blood-heat frenetic flow syndrome are common, which could be treated by the method of cooling blood to dispel wind, and eliminating stasis to stop bleeding, with self-prescribed modified Ziping Xiaofeng Powder (紫萍消风散); in the transitional phase, syndrome of effulgent fire due to yin deficiency and syndrome of qi deficiency failing to control are common, which could be treated by the method of tranquilising blood and tonifying deficiency, with modified Zhibai Dihuang Decoction (知柏地黄汤) and Guipi Decoction (归脾汤). At the same time, it is believed that wind-related medicinal has the function of eliminating stasis, stanching bleeding, and cooling blood, and the wind-related medicinal should be used throughout the treatment.

BACKGROUND:
LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer.
METHODS:
We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels.
RESULTS:
On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]).
CONCLUSION:
LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in the regulation of atherosclerosis. Here, we investigated the role of the lncRNA growth arrest-specific 5 (lncR-GAS5) in atherogenesis. We found that the enforced expression of lncR-GAS5 contributed to the development of atherosclerosis, which presented as increased plaque size and reduced collagen content. Moreover, impaired autophagy was observed, as shown by a decreased LC3II/LC3I protein ratio and an elevated P62 level in lncR-GAS5-overexpressing human aortic endothelial cells. By contrast, lncR-GAS5 knockdown promoted autophagy. Moreover, serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 10 (SRSF10) knockdown increased the LC3II/LC3I ratio and decreased the P62 level, thus enhancing the formation of autophagic vacuoles, autolysosomes, and autophagosomes. Mechanistically, lncR-GAS5 regulated the downstream splicing factor SRSF10 to impair autophagy in the endothelium, which was reversed by the knockdown of SRSF10. Further results revealed that overexpression of the lncR-GAS5-targeted gene miR-193-5p promoted autophagy and autophagic vacuole accumulation by repressing its direct target gene, SRSF10. Notably, miR-193-5p overexpression decreased plaque size and increased collagen content. Altogether, these findings demonstrate that lncR-GAS5 partially contributes to atherogenesis and plaque instability by impairing endothelial autophagy. In conclusion, lncR-GAS5 overexpression arrested endothelial autophagy through the miR-193-5p/SRSF10 signaling pathway. Thus, miR-193-5p/SRSF10 may serve as a novel treatment target for atherosclerosis.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of combined medial and lateral approaches in treating of calcaneal fractures combined with sustentaculum tali fractures and/or dislocations of sustentaculum tali-talus joint.Methods:Four adult cadaver specimens (8 feet) were selected, of which two (4 feet) were dissected on the medial side of the calcaneus to observe the adjacency and exposure range of sustentaculum tali. The other two specimens were simulated as medial and lateral approaches to reduce and fix calcaneal fractures. Retrospective analysis of 9 cases (9 feet) of Sanders II-IV type calcaneal fractures with combined medial and lateral approaches in the treatment of fractures and/or dislocations of sustentaculum tali-talus joint was performed. The average age was 49.9±11.3 (25-58) years. During the operation, the medial incision was made first, and the sustentaculum tali fracture was temporarily reduced and fixed to the talus. Then the lateral incision was made to expose the lateral side of the calcaneus, and the fracture fragments were reduced and fixed; the sustentaculum tali was fixed laterally with screws, and 2 cases were additionally fixed medially with absorbable rods. At the same time, six cases (8 feet) of calcaneal fractures with sustentaculum tali fractures and/or dislocations of sustentaculum tali-talus were treated with lateral approach as a control group. The lateral sides of both groups were fixed with calcaneal locking plate and implanted with demineralized bone matrix into the cavity after articular surface reduction. The B?hler and Gissane angles of the two groups of patients were measured at 1 year after operation. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy.Results:The sustentaculum tali-talus joint had a shape of an inverted "V" with two divided parts. The tip of the sustentaculum tali was exposed through the front window of the posterior tibial tendon. The sustentaculum tali and the medial side of the calcaneal body was completely exposed and fixed through the window between the posterior tibial tendon and the flexor digitorum longus tendon. The postoperative incision blood loss in the combined medial and lateral approach group was 73.6±4.3 ml, which was greater than that in the lateral approach group (70.6±7.1 ml) ( t=2.18, P=0.045). The lateral incision healed in both groups. The medial incision healed delayed in 1 patient in the combined medial and lateral approach group. The fractures in the combined medial-lateral approach group and the lateral approach group were both healed. The healing duration was 12.2±2.1 weeks and 12.8±2.8 weeks, respectively, without significant difference ( t=0.50, P=0.622). The B?hler angles of the combined medial-lateral approach group and the lateral approach group were 37.0°±5.7° and 27.9°±4.0° at 1 year after operation, respectively. These values were greater than the preoperative values of 4.7°±3.4° and 3.9°±2.9° ( P<0.05), with significant difference between groups ( t=3.76, P=0.002). The Gissane angles were 133.2°±9.8° and 139.1°±9.4° respectively, which were lower than those of 172°±7.3° and 175.6°±5.6° before operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups ( t=1.26, P=0.226). The AOFAS score of the combined medial and lateral approach group was 93.6±4.0 points, which was higher than that of the lateral approach group (84.3±8.2 points) ( t=3.03, P=0.008). Conclusion:Intra-articular calcaneal fractures combined with a high probability of sustentaculum tali fractures and/or dislocations of sustentaculum tali-talus joint. Compared with the simple lateral approach, the use of the combined medial-lateral approach and the medial-lateral surgical sequence is beneficial to restore the calcaneal alignment and anatomic shape, especially the alignment relationship of the medial calcaneus and talus, so as to obstain better early clinical outcomes.
