Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent malignancies among women worldwide,with distant organ metastasis being the leading cause of mortality.The lungs are a common site of metastasis in breast cancer and are associated with significantly poor prognosis.Although notable progress has been made in therapeutic strategies,efficacy remains markedly limited once pulmonary metastasis develops.Therefore,elucidating the molecular mechanisms that drive pulmonary metastasis,characterizing the immune microenvironment,and as-sessing therapeutic responsiveness are critical.Recent advances in multi-omics approaches-including genomics,transcriptomics,proteomics,metabolomics,and epigenetics-have been widely applied to investigate breast cancer metastasis,offering new insights into the complex mo-lecular networks underlying pulmonary dissemination.This review synthesizes current findings on key genes,proteins,metabolites,and epi-genetic regulatory mechanisms involved in the metastatic cascade from a multi-omics perspective.

Refinement and standardisation of the management of clinical diagnostic and treatment operations is a key aspect of achieving high-quality development in hospitals.By analysing the management status quo of clinical diagnosis and treatment operations in hospitals,it combed the problems existing in this field.Based on the closed-loop management model,it proposed measures and recommendations to promote the continuous optimisation of the management of clinical diagnostic operations in hospitals.Hospitals should establish hospital-level operation catalog and conduct classified management,authorize operators and dynamically adjust them,carry out operation quality management,pay attention to information management of operation management,and combine operation management with physician performance management.

The key symptom of Shaoyin syndrome,"only wanting to sleep",aligns with the core symptoms of depression,such as"low mood and loss of interest in daily activities".Additionally,the timing of symptom resolution in Shaoyin syndrome,"from 11 PM to 3 AM",corresponds to the pattern of symptom changes in depression.Therefore,depression can be treated from the perspective of Shaoyin syndrome.The fundamental pathogenesis of depression involves Shaoyin heart-kidney yang deficiency.On one hand,heart-kidney yang deficiency leads to spleen yang deficiency,resulting in a lack of nourishment for the spirit.On the other hand,yang deficiency generates dampness,leading to the stagnation of yang qi and a lack of vitality in the spirit.Mahuang Fuzi Gancao Decoction is the primary formula for treating depression based on Shaoyin syndrome.This formula works by supplementing and warming yang,invigorating the heart and kidneys,warming the spleen to dispel cold,and nourishing the spirit to alleviate depression.Additionally,it promotes lung qi,drains water,and expels pathogens to invigorate the spirit.In clinical application,attention should be paid to the preparation of the herbs,dosage,method of decoction,and administration.The formula can also be adjusted with other classic formulas based on the patients'specific symptoms for optimal effectiveness.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To explore the degree of change in anteversion angle and related risk factors after intramedullary nail fixation of intertrochanteric femur fracture in the elderly.Methods:The data of 256 elderly patients who underwent intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric fractures of the femur at Tianjin Hospital of Tianjin University from March 2020 to March 2023 were selected, including 114 males and 142 females, with an age of 75.40±10.69 years (range, 65-94 years). The degree of change in the anteversion angle of the affected hip before and after the surgery was measured by CT scan of the hip, the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) was plotted, the area under the ROC curve was analyzed, and the optimal degree of grouping was determined by calculating the Youden Index, then all the patients were divided into two groups. The correlation between various risk factors (age, sex, type of internal fixation, fracture AO type, quality of reduction, fracture medial cortical defect or not, cusp distance) and the change of anterior tilt angle was screened by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results:All 256 patients were followed up for 20.7±2.1 months (range, 18-23 months). Anteversion on the healthy side was 12.68°±5.10° (range, 5°-28°); postoperative anteversion on the affected side was 15.04°±7.67° (range, 9°-36°). By comparing the difference in the anterior tilt angle between the affected side and the healthy side, it was found that the anterior tilt angle of 67 patients was completely restored to the healthy side level after the operation. The anteversion angle was enlarged in 131 cases, of which the mildly increased angle (1°-9°) was found in 106 cases, moderately increased (10°-15°) was found in 17 cases, and significantly increased (>15°) was found in 8 cases; 58 patients showed anteversion angle reduction, of which 45 cases were mildly reduced (1°-9°), 13 cases were moderately reduced (10°-14°). The area under the ROC curve for the patient's anteversion angle and its 95% CI were 0.714(0.559, 0.867), and the maximum value of its Youden Index was 0.221, which corresponded to the optimal critical angle of 4°. There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, reduction quality or fracture AO classification between the group with an anteversion angle>4° and the group with an anteversion angle≤4° ( P>0.05). The types of internal fixation, medial cortical defect and insufficient tip apex distance (TAD) were included in the binary variable logistic regression analysis. The results showed that single-nail internal fixation [ OR=0.412, 95% CI(0.244, 0.695), P=0.007], medial cortical defect [ OR=0.471, 95% CI(0.279, 0.793), P=0.009] and TAD>25 mm [ OR=0.367, 95% CI(0.207, 0.651), P=0.003] are independent risk factors for changes in anteversion angle after intramedullary nail fixation of intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly. Conclusion:Single-nail internal fixation, medial cortical defect and TAD >25 mm are independent risk factors for the change of anteversion angle after intramedullary nail internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.

The aim of this updated guideline is to provide comprehensive recommendations for the management of gout in patients with common comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease(CKD), cardiovascular disease(CVD), diabetes, osteoarthritis(OA), and gastrointestinal disorders. This guideline was developed by a multidisciplinary expert panel consisting of specialists in endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and methodology. The development process adhered to standard methodologies, including PICO(population, intervention, comparator, and outcomes) question deconstruction, systematic literature review, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation(GRADE) for evidence and recommendation evaluation, Delphi voting, and expert consensus. The guideline presents 26 evidence-based recommendations addressing 7 clinical questions for patients with hyperuricemia and gout in the context of comorbidities. Key recommendations include the maintenance of strict serum urate targets, particularly for patients with CKD stage≥3, chronic gouty arthritis, and OA, in order to prevent disease progression. In patients with CVD or diabetes, intra-articular triamcinolone is preferred over systemic glucocorticoids. Prioritized anti-inflammatory treatments for patients with CKD, gastrointestinal diseases and OA are recommended. The guideline also introduces emerging therapies, such as interleukin-1 inhibitors and selective urate transport inhibitors, as potential treatment options for refractory cases. The update offers a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to managing gout, particularly in individuals with associated comorbidities. Multidisciplinary collaboration and emerging new treatments and evidence ensure the optimization of the recommendations.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of secondary transport on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for critically ill children.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Data from 222 pediatric patients who underwent ECMO transport from May 2019 to May 2024 at 5 ECMO centers and Chinese Database of Pediatric Extracorporeal Life Support Organization were collected. The cases were divided into primary and secondary transport groups by nature of transport. The clinical data, including demographics, ECMO indications, transport distance, pre-transport lab results, prognosis and complications were analyzed. Two independent samples t-test, Wilcoxon test, and χ2 test or Fisher′s exact probability method were used to compare the differences between 2 groups and evaluate the safety and efficacy of secondary transport. Results:Among the 222 children transported with ECMO, there were 135 males and 87 females, with an age of 3.0 (0.2, 7.0) years. There were 202 cases in the primary transport group and 20 cases in the secondary transport group. All secondary transport patients had failed attempts at weaning ECMO before transfer. The patients in the secondary transport group were older, had higher rates of surgical cannulation, circulatory support, and pre-ECMO lactate levels compared to the primary transport group (7.0 (2.8, 10.0) vs. 3.0 (0.2, 6.0) years old, 55.0% (11/20) vs. 3.6% (7/202), 80.0% (16/20) vs. 41.6% (84/202), (10±4) vs. (7±6) mmol/L, Z=3.41, χ 2=66.31, 10.99, t=2.24, all P<0.05). In the secondary transport group, the vasoactive-inotropic scores of patients on circulatory support and the oxygenation index for patients requiring respiratory support were higher than those in the primary transport group (83±33 vs. 82±68, 51.0±1.8 vs. 37.4±10.2, t=2.36, 2.63, respectively; both P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in sex, transport distance, pre-ECMO creatinine, arterial blood gas BE values, and ECMO duration (all P>0.05). No life-threatening complications occurred during the transport in either group. Two patients in the secondary transport group underwent heart transplantation, and 1 patient underwent radiofrequency ablation. The overall survival rate between the 2 groups showed no statistically significant difference (45.0% (9/20) vs. 55.4% (112/202), χ2=1.15, P>0.05). Conclusions:Secondary ECMO transport for critically ill children don't increase mortality or life-threatening complications during transport. ECMO patients who cannot receive effective treatment locally can benefit from secondary transport to an advanced ECMO center provides further treatment opportunities.

Objective To investigate the related mechanism which metformin inhibited the proliferation of HCT116 colorectal cancer cells via down-regulating the expression of up-frameshift protein 1(UPF1).Methods TCGA and UALCAN databases were utilized to analyze the expression level of UPF1,while Western blotting and Real-time PCR were performed to validate the differences of UPF1 expressions in colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues.Clone formation assay,CCK-8 assay,wound healing assay and Transwell invasion assay were used to examine the effects of knockdown UPF1 on the proliferation,migration and invasion of HCT116 cells respectively.The HCT116 cell dataset with UPF1 knockdown was screened from GEO database for Kyoto Encydopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis,the expression level of differential genes that enriched in Hippo pathway were verified by Real-time PCR.The HCT116 cells were treated with metformin,Western blotting and Real-time PCR were employed to detect the UPF1 expression.Mendelian randomization analysis was performed to explore the causal association between metformin treatment and colorectal cancer.Results Analysis of TCGA and UALCAN databases showed that both UPF1 mRNA and protein were highly expressed in colon cancer tissues and the expression level of UPF1 was closely correlated with clinicopathologic stage and lymph node metastasis.Compared with adjacent normal tissues,the UPF1 protein and mRNA were highly expressed in colon cancer tissues.Knockdown UPF1 expression could inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasive ability of HCT116 cells.There were 8 differential genes affect the Hippo pathway by KEGG enrichment analysis,Real-time PCR experiments confirmed that CTNNB1,BMP4,TEAD2,PARD6G and FZD1 mRNA decreased in HCT116 cells with UPF1 knockdown.Both UPF1 protein and mRNA expressions decreased after metformin treatment in HCT116 cells.Mendelian randomization analysis showed a negative causal association between metformin treatment and colorectal cancer.Conclusion Knockdown of UPF1 expression inhibits the proliferation of HCT116 cells through regulating Hippo pathway.Metformin can reduce the UPF1 expression for further inhibiting the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells.
