The year 2025 is a crucial one for the leapfrog development of basic research in liver transplantation in China. This article systematically reviews and summarizes the major original contributions made by Chinese scholars in the field of liver transplantation during the year. In the field of xenotransplantation, our research teams have successively completed the world's first gene-modified pig-human in situ and auxiliary liver transplantation, marking that China is leading globally in the clinical transformation of xenogeneic organs. In the aspect of donor liver source expansion and repair, the deep integration of domestic bionic oxygenation machine perfusion system with cell-loaded microgels and 3D bioprinting technology has successfully achieved the dynamic functional repair of marginal donor livers and the preliminary construction of artificial liver tissues. Regarding elderly donor livers, the mechanism of the interaction-driven network between senescent hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatocytes was revealed for the first time, promoting the transformation from "passive treatment" to "active management of aging risks". In addition, domestic research has systematically revealed the multi-dimensional pathological mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury, including acetylation regulation and cell pyroptosis, ferroptosis, etc. and innovatively proposed cutting-edge strategies such as "hibernation mechanism-driven organ protection" and "donor-specific thymus vaccine". In the aspects of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma and precise management, the deep integration of multi-omics technology and artificial intelligence has demonstrated high accuracy in postoperative complication prediction and tumor recurrence prediction, providing solid evidence-based basis for enhancing the international discourse power of "Chinese standards". Through this annual academic review, this article aims to showcase the core breakthroughs in basic research on liver transplantation in China, and contribute wisdom to promoting the transformation of clinical diagnosis and treatment paradigms and achieving international academic alignment.

Danggui Buxue decoction(DBD)is a classic prescription with immunomodulatory and hematopoietic effects.Previous studies have shown the DBD has potential to be used as an oral im-mune booster.However,its immunomodulatory effects and mechanism of action have not been thoroughly studied,especially the protective mechanism of immunomodulatory regulation in the state of immunosuppressive is still unclear.The aim of this study was to explore the protective mechanism of DBD in the immunosuppressive state using network pharmacology combined with animal experiments verification.The active components,core targets and signaling pathways of DBD in treating immunosuppression were obtained using network pharmacology tools.On this ba-sis,the active components of DBD were identified using HPLC-MS,and in vivo studies were con-ducted at the same time.The key active components of DBD obtained using network pharmacology included quercetin,kaempferol and formononetin.The core targets included TP53,RELA,TNF,AKT1,and IL-6.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)-protein kinase B(AKT)may play an important role in the treatment of immunosuppres-sive diseases using DBD.Molecular docking confirmed that each core target had good binding activ-ity with its corresponding compounds.Animal experiments showed that after DBD intervention,the mRNA gene and protein expression of RELA,TNF,and IL-6 in the serum was significantly down-regulated.The mRNA expression of PI3K and AKT in the ileum and PI3K protein expression were also downregulated.In conclusion,DBD exerts its role in treating immunosuppressive diseases by regulating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of fuzuloparib for the treatment of ovarian epithelial cancer patients in the real world setting.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the baseline data of 4 620 ovarian cancer patients who had received fuzuloparib monotherapy or combination therapy. Another 224 ovarian cancer patients who were willing to receive fuzuloparib monotherapy or combination therapy were prospectively enrolled, and their baseline characteristics, drug effectiveness, and safety data were analyzed.Results:(1) Among the 4 620 patients in the retrospective cohort, the median age of patients was 60 years; tumor types: 89.8% (4 149/4 620) had ovarian cancer. Among patients with clearly documented information, the vast majority had a histological type of serous carcinoma (82.9%, 3 770/4 546) and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging of Ⅲ-Ⅳ (90.9%, 1 537/1 691). (2) Among the 224 patients in the prospective cohort, the median age of patients was 57 years; tumor types: 83.9% (188/224) had ovarian cancer. Among patients with clearly documented records, the predominant pathologic type was serous carcinoma (91.9%, 193/210), and FIGO stage was Ⅲ-Ⅳ in 79.9% (139/174). (3) Among the 224 prospective patients: 84 patients received first-line fluzoparib maintenance therapy, 92 patients received fluzoparib maintenance therapy after platinum-sensitive recurrence, 23 patients received direct fluzoparib treatment after platinum-sensitive recurrence, 19 patients received direct fluzoparib treatment after platinum-resistant recurrence. The median follow-up durations were 8.5, 8.7, 7.9, and 6.7 months, respectively. The median durations of fluzoparib treatment were 6.7, 4.8, 3.1, and 1.9 months, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) times were not reached during follow-up, 12.6 months, not reached during follow-up, and 4.8 months, respectively. The 1-year PFS rates were 84.1%, 55.0%, 69.8%, and 45.5%, respectively. The remaining 6 patients received other fluzoparib regimens. (4) Among the 224 patients in the prospective dataset, 205 had safety data recorded. Of these, 127 patients (62.0%, 127/205) experienced treatment-related adverse events, with common events including anemia (24.4%, 50/205), thrombocytopenia (21.0%, 43/205), and leukopenia (19.5%, 40/205). Among the 205 patients, 43 (21.0%, 43/205) experienced grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events, with common events including anemia (8.3%, 17/205) and thrombocytopenia (8.3%, 17/205).Conclusions:The effectiveness of fuzuloparib in clinical application is generally consistent with other drugs in the same class, with good safety. This study provids new clinical evidence for the treatment of ovarian cancer with fuzuloparib.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of new nasopharyngeal airway and laryngeal mask airway for airway management in the patients undergoing non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NIVATS).Methods:In this randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial, 60 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification I or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged 18-79 yr, scheduled for elective NIVATS from December 2021 to December 2023 at Jining No.1 People′s Hospital, were divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a computer-generated random code in a 1∶1 ratio: new type nasopharyngeal airway group (group N) and laryngeal mask airway group (group L). After anesthesia induction, a new nasopharyngeal airway was inserted in group N, and a laryngeal mask airway was inserted in group L. Spontaneous ventilation was maintained during the NIVATS. Ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block was performed on the affected side before anesthesia induction. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and remifentanil. The primary outcome measure was the rate of intraoperative airway intervention, the airway interventions included repositioning of the airway tools, manual assisted ventilation, jaw-thrust maneuver, and conversion to endotracheal intubation. The secondary outcome measures included the first-attempt success rate of airway device placement, time for establishing a patent airway, the minimum value of SpO 2, the maximum value of P ETCO 2, and incidence of complications such as postoperative sore throat. Results:The rate of intraoperative airway intervention was 27% in group L and 47% in group N ( χ2=2.58, P=0.108). The difference in the rate of intraoperative airway intervention between the two groups was 0.20 (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.25), with a 95% confidence interval upper limit higher than the non-inferiority boundary (10%), indicating that this non-inferiority hypothesis was not established. In comparison to group L, the rate of intraoperative jaw-thrust maneuver intervention was significantly increased, the time to establish a patent airway was shortened, and the incidence of postoperative sore throat was decreased in group N ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the laryngeal mask airway, the new nasopharyngeal airway can reduce the development of postoperative throat pain, however, it is less effective in maintaining a patent airway. It requires careful consideration of risks and benefits when used for NIVATS.
