OBJECTIVE Based on comment texts from the Weibo platform, this study adopts the text mining method to systematically analyze the public’s emotional attitudes and core concerns of “medical insurance reimbursement”, and explore the public’s real experiences and feedback in the implementation of the current system. METHODS With “medical insurance reimbursement” as the keyword, Python web crawler technology was used to collect Weibo comment texts from December 2023 to April 2025. Word frequency analysis, sentiment analysis, semantic network analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic models were adopted to mine the in-depth features of comment texts and investigate the public’s concerns and emotional attitudes toward “medical insurance reimbursement”. RESULTS A total of 3 645 valid comment texts were obtained. The overall emotional of the public toward “medical insurance reimbursement” was weakly positive: 66.4% of the comments contained positive emotions, and 32.4% contained negative emotions. Semantic network analysis indicated that positive public emotions mainly centered on the achievements of medical insurance reform and the improvement of security level, while negative emotions mainly focused on reimbursement rules, economic burden and the implementation of medical insurance policies. The LDA model identified eight core themes, mainly including access of new drugs to medical insurance catalogs, medical insurance support for traditional Chinese medicine and biomedicine, disputes over medical insurance coverage of specific medical items, cross-regional medical treatment and medical insurance settlement, medical insurance reimbursement and medical burden, as well as the approval of innovative drugs and medical insurance payment. CONCLUSIONS The public generally holds a positive attitude toward “medical insurance reimbursement”, yet still has many expectations in terms of policy implementation. On the premise of guaranteeing the sustainability of medical insurance funds, it is suggested to further improve the transparency and fairness of the reimbursement process, and promote the scientific, standardized and efficient development of the medical insurance system. Meanwhile, attention should be paid to public opinion feedback on social media, and the policy communication mechanism should be strengthened, so as to enhance the public’s sense of gain and trust in the medical insurance system.

Liver transplantation is a radical treatment for progressive and irreversible end-stage liver disease. However, its clinical application has always been restricted by the core bottleneck of donor liver shortage. Living donor liver transplantation can alleviate the shortage of donor livers to a certain extent, but it requires simultaneous assurance of sufficient residual liver volume in donors to avoid liver insufficiency, as well as an adequate graft-to-recipient weight ratio to prevent small-for-size syndrome, which limits its clinical application. Dual-donor liver transplantation utilizes partial liver tissues from two donors as grafts. While ensuring donor safety, avoiding small-for-size syndrome in recipients, and expanding the donor pool, this technique significantly improves the utilization rate of donor livers and effectively eases the clinical contradiction of donor liver shortage. Based on recent domestic and international clinical practices and the latest diagnosis and treatment guidelines, this article systematically reviews the developmental background, donor and recipient evaluation and selection, surgical procedures and postoperative complications of dual-donor liver transplantation, aiming to provide references for the standardized promotion and clinical optimization of this technique.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Bushao Tiaozhi capsules (BSTZ) ameliorate hyperlipidemia based on untargeted metabolomics and targeted bile acid quantification. MethodsA rat model of hyperlipidemia was established with a high-fat diet. The rats were randomized into five groups: normal control, model, atorvastatin calcium (1.8 mg·kg-1), and low-dose (2.88 g·kg-1) and high-dose (5.76 g·kg-1) BSTZ groups. All treatments were administered for four consecutive weeks. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured by biochemical assays. Hepatic histopathological changes were evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and lipid droplet deposition was assessed by oil red O staining. Integrated untargeted metabolomics and targeted bile acid quantification were employed to investigate BSTZ-induced alterations in hepatic metabolic profile and bile acid profile. Additionally, correlation analyses were conducted between differential bile acids and lipid parameters to identify key bile acids. ResultsCompared with the normal control group, the model group exhibited elevated serum TC, TG, and LDL-C levels (P<0.01) and a reduced HDL-C level (P<0.01), along with marked hepatic steatosis and extensive lipid droplet deposition. Compared with the model group, all BSTZ treatment groups showed decreased TC, TG, and LDL-C levels (P<0.01) and increased HDL-C levels (P<0.01), accompanied by notably alleviated hepatic steatosis and lipid deposition. Untargeted metabolomics and targeted bile acid quantification revealed that BSTZ significantly remodeled the hepatic bile acid profile, characterized by elevated levels of secondary bile acids (DCA, HDCA, TDCA, and TLCA) and reduced levels of primary bile acids (CDCA and TCDCA). Correlation analyses further demonstrated strong associations between differential bile acids and lipid parameters: elevated secondary bile acids were negatively correlated with serum TC, TG, and LDL-C levels, whereas primary bile acids were positively correlated with these parameters. ConclusionBSTZ can ameliorate dyslipidemia and hepatic lipid accumulation in hyperlipidemic rats by regulating hepatic bile acid homeostasis, which provides metabolic clues for subsequent mechanism validation.

The liver regenerative capacity is crucial for patients with end-stage liver disease following partial hepatectomy (PHx). The specific bacteria and mechanisms regulating liver regeneration post-PHx remain unclear. This study demonstrated dynamic changes in the abundance of Parabacteroides distasonis (P. distasonis) post-PHx, correlating with hepatocyte proliferation. Treatment with live P. distasonis significantly promoted hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration after PHx. Targeted metabolomics revealed a significant positive correlation between P. distasonis and β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB), as well as hyodeoxycholic acid and 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid in the gut after PHx. Notably, treatment with BHB, but not hyodeoxycholic acid or 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, significantly promoted hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration in mice after PHx. Moreover, STAT3 inhibitor Stattic attenuated the promotive effects of BHB on cell proliferation and liver regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, P. distasonis upregulated the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related proteins, and increased BHB levels in the liver, and then BHB activated the STAT3 signaling pathway to promote liver regeneration. This study, for the first time, identifies the involvement of P. distasonis and its associated metabolite BHB in promoting liver regeneration after PHx, providing new insights for considering P. distasonis and BHB as potential strategies for promoting hepatic regeneration.

Objective To establish a rat model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) expressing human triple mutant amyloid precursor protein (APP) in the hippocampus, and to provide a model for the study of disease mechanisms and drug development. Methods Twenty-four 12-week-old SPF-grade female SD rats were randomly divided into a blank control group, a virus control group and an experimental group, with eight rats in each group; among them, the experimental group received a stereotaxic injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying the human triple mutant APP and NanoLuc luciferase genes into the hippocampus. In vivo imaging was used to observe viral expression in the brains of rats in each group, the novel object recognition test was used to assess the recognition memory of the rats in each group, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression level of the APP gene, HE staining was used to examine the brain histopathology, Nissl staining was used to assess the hippocampal lesions, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the deposition of amyloid β-protein (Aβ). Results In vivo imaging showed that reporter fluorescence was detected in the brains of rats in both experimental and virus control groups. Fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that the expression level of the APP gene was significantly increased in the brains of rats in the experimental group (P<0.01). Novel object recognition test revealed that the recognition memory of rats in the experimental group was significantly reduced compared with that of the blank control group (P<0.01). Six months after recombinant AAV virus infection, HE staining and Nissl staining of brain tissues showed that the number of neurons and Nissl bodies in the CA1 region of the hippocampus in the experimental group was reduced and disorganized; immuno-histochemistry testing of the CA1 region of the hippocampus and the pyramidal cell layer of the experimental group revealed prominent brown deposits, indicating Aβ protein deposition. Conclusion The rat model successfully established by stereotaxic injection and AAV-mediated delivery of human triple mutant APP gene exhibits typical AD features, providing a valuable animal model for studying AD pathology and developing drug therapies targeting Aβ protein deposition.
