OBJECTIVE To explore a model for constructing a platform for medical institution formulation and provide insights for promoting their development. METHODS By systematically reviewing the development status and challenges of medical institution preparations in China， and based on the theory of industry-university-research collaborative innovation， the organizational structure， collaborative processes， and safeguard mechanisms of the platform were designed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Medical institution formulations in China mainly faced challenges such as weak research and development （R&D） capacity， uneven quality standards， and blocked transformation pathways. This study established a full-chain， whole- industry collaborative innovation network covering the government， medical institutions， universities/research institutes， pharmaceutical enterprises， and the market， forming a new “government-industry-university-research-application” five-in-one platform model for medical institution formulations. By establishing mechanisms such as multi-entity collaborative cooperation， full- chain intellectual property management， contribution-based benefit distribution， staged risk-sharing， and third-party evaluation， the model clarified the responsibilities and collaborative pathways of all parties. The new model highlights the whole-process transformation of clinical experience-based prescriptions， enabling precise alignment between clinical needs and technological R&D， as well as between preparation achievements and industrial transformation. While breaking down the barriers of traditional platform construction， it effectively achieves optimal resource allocation and complementary advantages， addresses problems emerging in the development of medical institution preparations， and provides reference value for the formulation of relevant systems.

BACKGROUND: Pre-transplant exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) significantly increases the risk of allograft rejection after liver transplantation (LT); however, whether ICI-related rejection leads to increased graft loss remains controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between ICI-related allograft rejection and perioperative graft loss. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of adult liver transplant recipients with early biopsy-proven T-cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) at Liver Transplantation Center of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from June 2019 to September 2024. The pathological features, clinical characteristics, and perioperative graft survival were analyzed. RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients who underwent early TCMR between June 2019 and September 2024 were included. Based on pre-LT ICI exposure, recipients were categorized into ICI-related TCMR (irTCMR, n = 12) and conventional TCMR (cTCMR, n = 16) groups. Recipients with irTCMR had a higher median Banff rejection activity index (RAI) (6 vs . 5, P = 0.012) and more aggressive tissue damage and inflammation. Recipients with irTCMR showed higher proportion of treatment resistance, achieving a complete resolution rate of only 8/12 compared to 16/16 for cTCMR. Graft loss occurred in 5/12 of irTCMR recipients within 90 days after LT, with no graft loss in cTCMRs recipients. Cox analysis demonstrated that irTCMR with an ICI washout period of <30 days was an independent risk factor for perioperative graft loss (hazard ratio [HR], 6.540; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.067-40.067, P = 0.042). CONCLUSION IrTCMR is associated with severe pathological features, increased resistance to treatment, and higher graft loss in adult liver transplant recipients.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) are both chronic progressive respiratory diseases that cannot be completely cured. COPD is characterized by irreversible airflow limitation, chronic airway inflammation, and gradual decline in lung function, whereas PH is characterized by pulmonary vasoconstriction, remodeling, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. These diseases have similar pathological features, such as vascular hyperplasia, arteriolar contraction, and inflammatory infiltration. Despite these well-documented observations, the exact mechanisms underlying the occurrence and development of COPD and PH remain unclear. Evidence that mitochondrial dynamics imbalance is one major factor in the development of COPD and PH. Mitochondrial dynamics is precisely regulated by mitochondrial fusion proteins and fission proteins. When mitochondrial dynamics equilibrium is disrupted, it causes mitochondrial and even cell morphological dysfunction. Mitochondrial dynamics participates in various pathological processes for heart and lung disease. Mitochondrial dynamics may be different in the early and late stages of COPD and PH. In the early stages of the disease, mitochondrial fusion increases, inhibiting fission, and thereby compensatorily increasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. With the development of the disease, mitochondria decompensation causes excessive fission. Mitochondrial dynamics is involved in the development of COPD and PH in a spatiotemporal manner. Based on this understanding, treatment strategies for mitochondrial dynamics abnormalities may be different at different stages of COPD and PH disease. This article will provide new ideas for the potential treatment of related diseases.

Objective : To explore the association between serum γ-aminobutyric acid ( GABA) levels and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes( T2DM) ． Methods : 187 cases of T2DM patients attending the hospital were selected as the T2DM group，and 187 cases of non-T2DM population attending the same period of time were selected as the control group according to age ( ± 3 years) and gender 1 ∶ 1．On-site questionnaires and physical examination were conducted for the study subjects，and serum levels of GABA，Malondialdehyde ( MDA) and activities of superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and Glutathione peroxidase ( GSH-Px) were detected by using ELISA kits．The differences in the levels of GABA and oxidative stress indicators ( SOD，GSH-Px，MDA) between the two groups were compared， and the correlation between GABA and oxidative stress indicators was analyzed by Spearman's method; GABA and oxidative stress indicators were divided into three groups according to their control quartiles，respectively ［low level group ( Q1: ＜P25) ，medium level group ( Q2: P25 －P75) ，high level group ( Q3: ＞P75) ］，and conditional logistic regression was applied to analyze the relationship between GABA，oxidative stress indicators and the risk of develo- ping T2DM; the dose-response relationship between GABA，oxidative stress indicators and the risk of developing T2DM was analyzed by using restricted cubic spline ( RCS) ． Results : T2DM group ( P＜0. 05) ．Spearman's correlation analysis showed that GABA level was positively correlated with SOD and GSH-Px activities and negatively correlated with MDA level ( P＜0. 001) ．Conditional logistic regression analysis showed that medium levels of SOD and GSH-Px as well as medium and high levels of GABA were protective factors for T2DM compared with low levels in each group ( P＜0. 05) ．RCS results showed that a negative dose-response relationship between GABA，GSH-Px and the risk of developing T2DM，and SOD showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing the risk of developing T2DM ( P＜0. 05) ． Conclusion Serum GABA levels have been associated with the risk of developing T2DM．As serum GABA levels increase，the risk of developing T2DM may decrease．

Objective:To investigate the current status of supportive care needs in lymphoma patients and the influencing factors.Methods:A single-center cross-sectional survey was conducted. By using convenience sampling, lymphoma patients hospitalized in the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from September 2020 to April 2021 were prospectively selected as the research objects. A self-designed general information questionnaire (including gender, age, residence, education level, occupation, monthly household income per capita, payment method for medical expenses, commercial insurance status, disease duration, and treatment course) and the hematological malignancy specific supportive care needs scale were used for face-to-face interviews in lymphoma patients. Differences in supportive care needs scores among patients with different characteristics were compared, and the unmet rate of supportive care needs for each item was calculated. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the effects of social demographic characteristics and disease characteristics on supportive care needs scores.Results:A total of 340 subjects were enrolled. During data collection, 30 questionnaires that did not meet the requirements were excluded, resulting in 310 valid questionnaires from patients, yielding a qualification rate of 91.2%. The age of the 310 lymphoma patients was (43±14) years, including 176 males (56.8%) and 134 females (43.2%). The median total score [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of supportive care needs was 170 (114, 220) points, ranging from 51 to 255 points. There were 44 items with unmet rate >60% for supportive care needs, accounting for 86.3% of the total 51 items. The total supportive care needs score increased with higher educational level and fewer treatment cycles, and the differences in supportive care needs score between patients stratified by these 2 characteristics were statistically significant (both P < 0.05),while there were no statistically significant differences in the supportive care needs total score among patients stratified by gender, age, monthly household income per capita, payment method for medical expenses, commercial insurance condition, occupation, or disease duration (all P > 0.05). Generalized linear model analysis showed that education level (compared to college or above, high school/vocational school: β = -29.92, 95% CI: -47.42--12.41, P = 0.001), number of treatment courses (compared to 8 courses, 0-4 courses: β = 25.60, 95% CI: 4.76-46.45, P = 0.016), and age (compared to ≥66 years, 41-65 years: β = -29.76, 95% CI: -56.69--2.83, P = 0.030) were independent influencing factors for the supportive care needs score. Interaction effects among independent variables analysis showed that interaction effects were found between education level and payment method for medical expenses ( P = 0.005). Conclusions:Lymphoma patients generally exhibit high levels of supportive care needs. Healthcare professionals should therefore provide personalized supportive care based on factors such as the patients' number of age, treatment cycles, and educational level.

Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy. However, low response rates and immune-related side effects have plagued immunotherapy. Metallic nanoparticles, utilizing metals as their framework, are gaining prominence in cancer immunotherapy. Metal ions have shown the ability to modulate immune status by activating the cGAS-STING pathway and inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), thereby enabling multidimensional activation of immunotherapy. Metallic nanoparticles offer significant advantages in cancer immunotherapy, leading to their increasing use in enhancing therapeutic outcomes. In view of the ever-increasing research on metallic nanoparticles, this review presents the construction, characterization, and enhanced cancer immunotherapeutic effects of different types of metal nanosystems from the perspective of the immunoregulatory mechanisms of metal ions. We delve into the current limitations and future directions of metallic nanoparticles in this rapidly evolving field. To the best of our knowledge, this review offers the most up-to-date and systematic analysis of metallic nanoparticles in immunotherapeutic applications. It is anticipated that this review of metallic nanoparticles will inspire a more refined and intelligent design of metallic nanoparticles for future research, paving the way for advancing their clinical applications.

An ideal dermal filler should integrate filling, repair, and anti-aging effects, with immediate tissue augmentation, slow degradation, and progressive stimulation of collagen regeneration. However, commonly used hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels, while effective for rapid filling, suffer from limited duration of support, weak cell adhesion, and an inability to promote collagen regeneration. Silk fibroin (SF), a natural protein from silkworm cocoons, is known for its excellent cell adhesion and collagen-stimulating abilities. However, its limited gelation capability restricts its potential application as a standalone injectable hydrogel. Based on a complementary strategy, this study combines the rapid gelling properties of HA with the collagen regenerative properties of SF to create a co-crosslinked HA-SF hydrogel. The composite hydrogel merges HA's rapid filling effect with SF's strong tissue adhesion and collagen-stimulating abilities. The formulation, physicochemical properties, degradation, biocompatibility, and filling effects of the HA-SF hydrogel were systematically investigated. HA-SF hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical properties and ensures long-term support while maintaining injectability. Interestingly, after intradermal injection in the UVB-induced photoaging model, HA-SF hydrogel not only enhances hydrogel-cell interaction but also continues to stimulate collagen regeneration, especially type III collagen. This dual action achieves the biological effects of repair and anti-aging while maintaining the filling effect. Proteomic analysis confirms that repair and anti-aging effects are enhanced by the regulation of skin fibroblasts and modulation of amino acid and lipid metabolism. This composite hydrogel holds strong promise for clinical applications, offering a safer, long-lasting, and more natural injectable filler that combines filling, repair, and anti-aging into one system.

AIM: To identify the primary active components and underlying mechanisms of Yijing Decoction(YJD)in treating early diabetic retinopathy(DR)based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and network pharmacology.METHODS: Active components of YJD were characterized through LC-MS. Components with optimal ADME(absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion)properties were selected as key bioactive candidates. Network pharmacology approaches were employed to predict YJD-DR therapeutic targets. Protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks, gene ontology(GO)enrichment analysis, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis were subsequently conducted to predict core targets and networks. Critical targets and pathways were experimentally validated through Western blot.RESULTS: Ten core therapeutic targets were identified, including TNF, Alb, EGFR, STAT3, PTGS2, ESR1, PPAR, MMP9, TLR4, and MAPK. YJD was related to cancer-related signaling, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases, encompassing key biological processes such as inflammatory response regulation, programmed cell death activation, and enhanced cell migration. Furthermore, Western blot analysis confirmed that YJD significantly inhibited high glucose-induced phosphorylation of STAT3(P-STAT3/STAT3)and ERK(P-ERK/ERK)in rat retinal microvascular endothelial cells.CONCLUSION: This study revealed YJD's pharmacodynamical basis and its multi-component, multi-target, and multi-paths pharmacology. YJD exerts therapeutic effects on DR by coordinately regulating critical signaling pathways and alleviating intraocular inflammation, thus preserving retinal vascular endothelial cells, maintaining blood-retinal barrier integrity, and facilitating retinal neurovascular repair.
