Hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection is one of the major global health problems， and it can lead to the development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Due to the strict species specificity of HBV infection， no animal model has yet been established to fully support the complete life cycle of HBV infection and accurately reflect host immune responses and pathogenesis. Current animal models used for HBV research include various hosts such as chimpanzees， tree shrews， and mice， as well as surrogate models based on related hepatotropic viruses. Although these models have contributed significantly to the research on HBV replication， immune response， and antiviral drug evaluation， they still have certain limitations such as ethical concerns， low infection efficiency， high costs， and a lack of persistent infection. In recent years， the development of novel strategies， such as humanized mouse models with reconstituted human liver and immune systems， transgenic models， and viral vector-mediated infection systems， has greatly promoted the research on HBV biology. In the future， with the integration of emerging technologies including gene editing， tissue engineering， and multi-system reconstruction， it is possible to establish HBV infection models that can more closely mimic human pathophysiology， thereby laying a robust foundation for understanding virus-host interactions， exploring the pathways for viral clearance， and developing radical treatment strategies.

With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

Objective To explore the preliminary experience and clinical outcomes of domestic(Jingfeng)robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy and detubularized sigmoid neobladder construction, and to evaluate the technical feasibility, safety, and postoperative functional recovery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 12 patients undergoing surgery in our department during Jun. and Dec.2024. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and hospital stay were recorded to assess the surgical efficacy and safety.Results All 12 procedures were successfully completed. The average operation time was 460(390-540)minutes, including 213(170-250)minutes for radical cystectomy with lymph node dissection and 247(200-300)minutes for neobladder reconstruction and anastomosis. Intraoperative blood transfusion was required in 2 cases, and postoperative hemoglobin levels decreased by 22(7-46)g/L in 10 patients. All surgical margins were negative. No major complications of Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ or above occurred postoperatively. The average hospital stay was 9(7-14)days, and bowel function recovered within 2.58(2-3)days. During the follow-up of 2 to 6 months, 11 patients achieved daytime urinary continence, and 6 had normal continence. All patients had no obvious obstruction or hydronephrosis in the upper urinary tract. Conclusion Domestic robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy and detubularized sigmoid neobladder reconstruction is technically feasible, with advantages in precision, minimal invasiveness, and favorable postoperative recovery. Initial results demonstrate its potential in lymph node dissection, nerve preservation, and urinary continence restoration, suggesting it can become a valuable option for bladder cancer treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of posterior axillary edge approach and arthroscopic assisted reduction in the treatment of Ideberg type Ⅰ and Ⅱ glenoid fracture of the scapula. METHODS: The clinical data of 26 patients with fresh Ideberg type Ⅰ and Ⅱ scapular fractures admitted between June 2021 and September 2024 who met the selection criteria were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to different treatment methods. Ten cases in the posterior axillary edge group were fixed by open reduction plate through the posterior axillary edge approach, and 16 cases in the arthroscopy group were treated with suture anchor fixation under arthroscopy. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups ( P>0.05), such as gender, age, surgical side, Ideberg type, cause of injury, time from injury to operation, rotator cuff injury, and superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) injury, etc. The operation time and fracture healing time were recorded and compared between the two groups, and the shoulder pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after operation. At 3 and 6 months after operation, the range of motion of shoulder joint in anteflexion, abduction, external rotation, internal rotation, and backward extension was evaluated, the upper limb dysfunction was evaluated by the Disability Assessment Scale of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), and the shoulder joint function was evaluated by the Constant-Murley score. The differences between 6 months and 3 months after operation (changes) were statistically analyzed. RESULTS: Patients in both groups were followed up 11-13 months, with an average of 12.5 months. The operation time and fracture healing time in the posterior axillary edge group were significantly shorter than those in the arthroscopy group ( P<0.05). There was no complication such as wound infection, vascular and nerve injury, loss of reduction, bone nonunion, or glenohumeral instability in both groups. At 1 week after operation, the VAS score in the posterior axillary edge group was significantly higher than that in the arthroscopy group ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the VAS score between the two groups at 1 and 3 months after operation ( P>0.05). At 6 months after operation, the changes of shoulder joint in anteflexion, internal rotation range of motion and DASH scores in the posterior axillary edge group were significantly lower than those in the arthroscopy group ( P<0.05), while the changes of abduction, external rotation, backward extension range of motion and Constant-Murley scores were not significantly different between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION For Ideberg type Ⅰ and Ⅱ glenoid fracture of the scapula, the posterior axillary edge approach for internal fixation has a short operation time, fast fracture healing, and is beneficial for early functional recovery; arthroscopic assisted reduction has minimal trauma and can handle joint injuries simultaneously. Both surgical procedures are safe and effective, and individualized selection should be made based on soft tissue conditions and combined injuries.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the early effectiveness of transosseous suture fixation in treating recurrent acute patellar dislocation with patellar osteochondral fractures (OCFs). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 19 patients with recurrent acute patellar dislocation and patellar OCFs, who underwent transosseous suture fixation between January 2018 and December 2022 and were followed up 2 years. The cohort included 8 males and 11 females, aged 13-21 years (mean, 16.2 years). Patients experienced 2-5 times of patellar dislocation (mean, 3.2 times). The interval from the last dislocation to operation ranged from 3 to 15 days (mean, 9.6 days). Preoperative imaging revealed the intra-articular osteochondral fragments and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score, the Lysholm score, and the Tegner score. Postoperative complications were recorded. During follow-up, the knee X-ray films, CT, and MRI were taken to evaluate fragment healing, displacement, and the morphology and tension of the MPFL reconstruction graft. RESULTS: All incisions healed primarily, and no complication occurred such as infection, joint stiffness, patellofemoral arthritis, or redislocation. Patients were followed up 24-60 months (mean, 43.5 months). At 12 months postoperatively and the last follow-up, significant improvements ( P<0.05) were observed in VAS, Lysholm, IKDC, HSS, and Tegner scores compared to preoperative values. Further improvements were observed at last follow-up compared with the 12 months postoperatively, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). Imaging studies demonstrated satisfactory osteochondral fragment positioning with stable fixation. At last follow-up, all fragments had healed, and MPFL reconstruction grafts exhibited optimal morphology and tension. No joint adhesion or fragment displacement occurred. CONCLUSION For recurrent acute patellar dislocation with patellar OCFs, transosseous suture fixation proves to be both safe and effective, achieving satisfactory early effectiveness.

Central nerve injuries, most commonly caused by traffic accidents or falls, frequently result in irreversible deficits such as paralysis, cognitive impairment and respiratory failure, profoundly impairing patients′ life quality and even proving to be fatal. Current therapeutic strategies including early surgical decompression, corticosteroid administration and neurotrophic pharmacotherapy fail to restore the neuro-homeostatic balance and systemic function. In recent years, biomaterial-based interventions have emerged as a promising alternative for central nerve injuries. Among them, the human amniotic membrane (HAM), a placental basement-membrane scaffold rich in collagen, hyaluronic acid and a cocktail of growth factors, perfectly combines angiogenic, anti-fibrotic and neurotropic properties that meet the complex demands of central nerve repair. Nevertheless, HAM-based therapies for central nerve injuries remain at an early stage of pre-clinical investigation. In the meantime, most studies have simply translated protocols validated for peripheral nerve injuries without addressing the pathological microenvironment specific to central nerve injuries. To this end, the authors reviewed recent advances in the modes of HAM application for central nerve injuries, aiming to provide novel insights and reference for future research on central nerve injuries.

Spinal cord injury is a highly disabling central nervous system disorder whose pathological progression is closely associated with blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) disruption. Physical trauma to the spine or spinal cord may compromise BSCB integrity, triggering secondary damage including spinal edema, hemorrhage, oxidative stress, and excessive inflammatory responses. For the pivotal role of protecting the spinal cord microenvironment, the repair of BSCB is crucial in the treatment of spinal cord injury. Although present studies have explored BSCB repair strategies such as biological factor regulation, biomaterial applications, and traditional Chinese medicine interventions, most studies focus on improving the overall barrier function and fail to systematically elucidate how these strategies target the core functional units of BSCB, namely the endothelial cells and their junction structures, to achieve functional and structural restoration of the barrier. Therefore, the authors reviewed the composition and key repair targets of BSCB, along with research advances in BSCB repair strategies based on endothelial cells and junction structures, aiming to provide insights for basic research and clinical treatment of spinal cord injury.

Objective To develop a risk assessment scale for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-associated myocarditis based on multidisciplinary collaboration, and to evaluate its diagnostic performance. Methods Based on multidisciplinary cooperation, integrating clinical experience from oncology and cardiology, literature data, and patient conditions, a risk assessment scale for ICI-associated myocarditis was developed. A total of 101 patients with malignancies who received immunotherapy at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from October 2020 to October 2024 were included as the validation cohort. Patients were stratified into low-risk (0-1 point), medium-risk (2-4 points), and high-risk (≥5 points) groups based on their scale scores. The association between pretictive risk stratifications and actual assessment results was assessed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. The predictive value of the scale for ICI-associated myocarditis was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Agreement between the scale scores and actual assessment results was assessed using Cohen’s Kappa coefficient. Results Based on the scale pretictive results, 28(27.7%), 8(7.9%), 65(64.4%) patients were at low risk, medium risk, and high risk for ICI-related myocarditis, respectively; however, 46(45.5%), 8(7.9%), 47(46.5%) were at low risk, medium risk, and high risk actually. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative incidence of ICI-related myocarditis in the high-risk group was significantly higher than that in the medium- and low-risk groups (P＜0.05). In the multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model, the ICI-related myocarditis risk in high-risk group was about 4 times that in the low-risk group. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the average area under the curve (AUC) for predicting ICI-related myocarditis was 0.81, with an accuracy of 0.74. The Cohen’s Kappa coefficient was 0.55, indicating moderate agreement. In the actual high-risk group, no patient was predicted to be at low risk; in the actual low-risk group, 16 patients were predicted to be at high risk. Conclusions This risk assessment scale for ICI-associated myocarditis shows high predictive performance. It provides oncologists with a simple yet effective multidisciplinary diagnostic reference tool, potentially enhancing early identification of ICI-associated myocarditis.

Systemic lupus erythematosus （SLE） may lead to secondary gynecological and obstetric disorders such as decreased ovarian reserve function， menstrual abnormalities， and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Based on "bi （痹） of both body and viscera" theory， this paper proposed that the core mechanism of SLE secondary gynecological and obstetric diseases lies in the mutual transformation between "body bi" and "viscera bi"， which together affect the uterus. Physiologically， uterus forms an internal-external network with the body and viscera through the meridians and blood vessels. Pathologically， when the healthy qi is deficient， nourishment of the body and viscera is impaired； when toxins and stasis accumulate， pathogenic factors disturb the uterus through the chong （冲） and ren （任） meri-dians. The resulting obstruction in the uterus can， in turn， manifest externally and aggravate damage to the body and viscera. Therefore， the pathogenesis of SLE secondary gynecological and obstetric diseases follows a dynamic trajectory of "body bi first， body bi affecting viscera， and then bi of both body and viscera". In treatment， the principle of harmonizing and balancing the healthy qi is emphasized. The main approach is to regulate the viscera， stabilize the body， and nourish the uterus， with the coordination of nourishing the viscera through the body， thereby achieving simultaneous treatment of both body and viscera. This highlights the guiding significance of the "bi of both body and viscera" theory in preventing and treating SLE secondary gynecological and obstetric diseases.

Skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusion is characterized by maxillary protrusion,mandibular retrognathia,or a combination of both,and often accompanied by vertical dimensional discrepancies;treatment is complex,and combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgery is needed for the adult patients.Clear aligner therapy has gradually been applied in complex orthodontic cases.However,limited cases have been reported domestically and internationally regarding the application of clear aligner therapy combined with orthognathic surgery.This article presented a case of a patient with skeletal class Ⅱ high-angle malocclusion treated with the combined therapy and analyzed the clinical efficacy of the treatment appraoch to provide reference for the clinical practice.Extraction of impacted wisdom teeth 18,28,38,and 48,as well as orthodontic teeth 15,25,34,and 44,was performed in stages before orthodontic treatment.Clear aligner therapy was used for preoperative orthodontics.In sagittal plane,a super-complete class Ⅱ canine and molar relationship and a 13-14 mm overjet of the anterior teeth were established.The maxillary and mandibular arch morphology was matched horizontally.The orthognathic surgery included maxillary LeFort Ⅰ osteotomy,bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(BSSRO)and chinplasty.Fine occlusal adjustment was conducted after operation.After treatment,the skeletal relationship between upper and lower jaw was corrected to normal;subspinale-nasion-supramental angle(ANB)was improved from 12.3° to 4.7°;the patient established the class Ⅰ canine and molar relationship,with normal overjet and overbite;root parallelism was good and there was no obvious root resorption;the facial soft tissue profile was significantly improved,and nasion-subnasale-pogonion angle(N-Sn-Pg)was improved from 143.9° to 162.8°.The curative effect was stable 1 year after operation.Clear aligner therapy can efficiently complete combined orthodontic and orthodontic surgery in the complex cases.Compared with the fixed appliance,it is more beneficial to the patients'need for beauty and the maintenance of periodontal health.
