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.

In the context of global warming, protecting outdoor workers from occupational heat exposure has become an important public health concern. This review summarized the principle, applicability, and limitation of three categories of wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) prediction models: empirical regression models, heat-balance models, and machine-learning models. Drawing on international experience from the United States, Europe, and Japan, this review further examined the technical challenges of applying WBGT-based prediction models to large-scale occupational heat stress early warning systems. In response to gaps in occupational heat stress management in China, WBGT should be considered a core assessment indicator to support a transition from passive response to proactive intervention. A localized implementation pathway is proposed, incorporating mechanism-based model calibration, regional parameter adaptation, and multi-source data fusion. Strengthening collaboration between public health and meteorological departments and developing platform-based flexible intervention strategies for workers in new forms of employment may improve the targeting of occupational heat stress early warning and health protection. Future research should focus on physics-constrained machine learning, refined microenvironmental prediction, and individualized risk assessment to support the development of a digitally enabled occupational heat-health protection framework.

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.

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 clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)essential oil Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)combined with conventional Western medication in treating hypertension and its influence on TCM symptoms and anxiety.Methods:Eighty patients with hypertension were included and divided into an observation group and a control group using the random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional oral Western medication once a day.The observation group was treated with additional TCM essential oil Tuina once every other day.The two groups were treated for 4 weeks.The changes in blood pressure,TCM symptom score,and anxiety,as well as safety,were observed after treatment.Results:After treatment,the systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,TCM symptom score,and Hamilton anxiety scale score in the two groups were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and those of the observation group were lower compared to the control group with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There were no adverse reactions,such as allergy and dry cough,in the two groups.Conclusion:Based on conventional Western medication,TCM essential oil Tuina was safe and effective in the treatment of hypertension,which both reduced blood pressure and improved clinical symptoms and anxiety.

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.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of donor characteristics on the prognosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients undergoing haplo-identical transplantation (HIDT) .Methods:A retrospective analysis of 203 MDS patients who received HIDT was conducted to evaluate how donor factors influenced transplant outcomes.Results:In MDS patients undergoing haploidentical transplantation, donors over 50 years were associated with higher EBV reactivation (2-year cumulative incidence 42.9% vs 22.0% for <50 years old; P=0.010). Female donors were linked to increased severe chronic GVHD compared with male donors (2-year incidence 11.9% vs 4.0% ; P=0.017). Additionally, 2-year overall survival (OS) was slightly lower with female donors than male donors (56.6% vs 69.7% ), but the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.073). Donor-recipient blood type did not affect post-transplant OS or cumulative relapse rates. Donor-recipient kinship analysis revealed that child donors, compared to haploidentical sibling or parent donors, had lower rates of grade Ⅱ–Ⅳ acute GVHD (27.2% vs 45.7% vs 53.5%, P=0.007) and 2-year EBV reactivation (13.9% vs 29.3% vs 38.9%, P=0.001). For donors under 20 years, donor gender did not significantly affect 2-year OS ( P=0.913), relapse-free survival ( P=0.716), or 100-day incidence of grade Ⅱ–Ⅳ acute GVHD ( P=0.359) . Conclusion:For MDS patients undergoing HIDT, donors over 50 should be avoided. Male and child donors are preferred, while donor gender does not significantly affect outcomes if the donor is under 20 years old.
