Objective To analyze the postoperative complications and survival outcomes of elderly patients with renal cell carcinoma undergoing laparoscopic surgery, and to identify the influencing factors, so as to provide reference for improving the safety of laparoscopic surgery in such patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical, surgical, and pathological data of 153 patients aged ≥75 years who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma at our hospital during 2012 and 2025.Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors influencing postoperative complications, and a nomogram was constructed and validated to predict the complications.Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and the effects of different surgical approaches on the prognosis and the survival difference in the age subgroups (75-<80 years, ≥80 years) were analyzed.Cox regression analyses were conducted to determine factors affecting survival outcomes. Results Among the 153 patients, 15 developed postoperative complications, including 5 severe cases. Multivariate logistic regression identified Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) ≥3 and prolonged operation time as independent risk factors for postoperative complications (P<0.05).The C-index of the logistic regression model constructed based on these factors (age, CCI≥3 and operation time) was 0.77 (95%CI:0.64-0.90), with an average absolute error of 1.6%.Subgroup analysis revealed superior overall survival in patients aged 75-<80 years undergoing partial nephrectomy compared to radical nephrectomy (P=0.005 6).No statistically significant difference in overall survival was observed among patients ≥80 years who received different surgical approaches (P=0.062).Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified preoperative low albumin levels, preoperative renal insufficiency, tumor diameter>4 cm, and pathological stage as independent risk factors for overall survival (P<0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery is safe and effective for elderly patients with renal cell carcinoma, with survival outcomes correlated to nutritional status, renal function, tumor size and pathological staging.Patients aged ≥80 years still derive surgical benefit, and no survival differences exist between different surgical approaches in this age group.

Incretin-based drugs have demonstrated significant clinical value in weight management and the treatment of metabolic diseases by mimicking or enhancing endogenous incretin signaling. These agents primarily target multiple receptors including glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, and glucagon, exerting weight-reducing effects through multiple mechanisms such as central appetite regulation, gastrointestinal function modulation, and peripheral metabolic improvement, while further ameliorating blood glucose, blood lipids, fatty liver, and cardiorenal metabolic risks. This review focuses on incretin-based drugs, systematically summarizing the key clinical application points and relevant research progress of domestically marketed and investigational candidate drugs in the field of weight reduction. Available evidence indicates that semaglutide and tirzepatide demonstrate substantial weight reduction with multiple metabolic benefits; domestic innovative drugs represented by mazdutide and ecnoglutide also exhibit favorable weight-reducing effects and safety profiles. Regarding safety, these agents are generally well-tolerated, with the most common adverse reactions being mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal events, while potential risks including gallbladder events, pancreatitis, and mood changes require attention. In special populations, individualized assessment is warranted for use in children, elderly people, and pregnant women. Future research should focus on the screening of predictive biomarkers for efficacy, the development of long-acting oral formulations, and the accumulation of long-term safety follow-up data.

Primary brain calcification(PBC) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder with symmetrical calcification in the bilateral basal ganglia and other brain regions as its core imaging feature, and presents diverse heterogeneous clinical manifestations such as movement disorders, cognitive impairment, and psychiatric disturbances. The identification of multiple causative genes has not only facilitated the exploration of PBC pathogenesis but also continuously expanded its phenotypic spectrum. The diagnosis, evaluation, and management of this disease are experiencing pivotal shifts, accompanied by new challenges. In 2025, the first international expert consensus on PBC was published, laying a foundation for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of PBC worldwide. Based on China′s clinical practice and research status, and referring to the international consensus, domestic experts in related fields conducted multiple rounds of discussions, supplemented and revised the contents covering clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, molecular classification and characteristics, genetic testing and counseling, disease management and treatment of PBC, and finally developed this consensus. This consensus aims to provide guidance for the standardized diagnosis, treatment, and research of PBC in China, help improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment, and drive the steady advancement of relevant research in this field.

Objective To explore the value and operational effectiveness of establishing a donor care unit (DCU). Methods A single-center retrospective cohort study design was adopted. The DCU of the Transplant Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University was officially put into use on August 1, 2023. As of April 30, 2024, 200 donors were divided into the DCU group (n=107) and the non-DCU group (n=93) based on the different donor maintenance sites. Baseline data of donors, organ maintenance management indicators, organ output and utilization were collected and analyzed; simultaneously, the perioperative effects and 1-year postoperative prognosis of 314 recipients undergoing kidney transplantation at the Transplant Medicine Institute of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were tracked. Results Compared with the non-DCU group, the usage rate of vasoactive drugs in the DCU group was lower, the completeness rate of pathogen culture and the proportion of daytime organ acquisition surgeries were higher, the cold ischemia time of the liver was shorter, the professional maintenance time of donors was longer, but the total hospitalization cost of donors was higher (all P<0.05). The 24-hour urine volume of donors in the DCU group increased, the level of creatine kinase decreased, and electrolyte indicators such as procalcitonin, lactate, blood sodium and blood chloride improved (all P<0.05). The cardiac output rate of donors in the DCU group was higher than that of the non-DCU group (P<0.05). The perioperative indicators, 1-year postoperative survival rates and graft survival rates of kidney transplant recipients in both groups were similar, but the serum creatinine level of recipients in the DCU group was lower after 1 year (P<0.05). Conclusions The management and operation efficiency of the DCU are good. By monitoring and regulating the stable physiological state of donors, the quality of organs is guaranteed, thereby improving cardiac output rate and short-term function of the transplanted kidney. The total hospitalization cost of donors is higher, and its comprehensive benefits need to be studied. However, it provides preliminary evidence-based basis for the clinical application of the DCU.

Purpose:
Cancer has become a significant major public health concern, making the discovery of new cancer markers or therapeutic targets exceptionally important. Elevated expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 12A (TNFRSF12A) expression has been observed in certain types of cancer. This project aims to investigate the function of TNFRSF12A in tumors and the underlying mechanisms.
Materials and Methods:
Various websites were utilized for conducting the bioinformatics analysis. Tumor cell lines with stable knockdown or overexpression of TNFRSF12A were established for cell phenotyping experiments and subcutaneous tumorigenesis in BALB/c mice. RNA-seq was employed to investigate the mechanism of TNFRSF12A.
Results:
TNFRSF12A was upregulated in the majority of cancers and associated with a poor prognosis. Knockdown TNFRSF12A hindered the colorectal cancer progression, while overexpression facilitated malignancy both in vitro and in vivo. TNFRSF12A overexpression led to increased nuclear factor кB (NF-κB) signaling and significant upregulation of baculoviral IAP repeat containing 3 (BIRC3), a transcription target of the NF-κB member RELA, and it was experimentally confirmed to be a critical downstream factor of TNFRSF12A. Therefore, we speculated the existence of a TNFRSF12A/RELA/BIRC3 regulatory axis in colorectal cancer.
Conclusion
TNFRSF12A is upregulated in various cancer types and associated with a poor prognosis. In colorectal cancer, elevated TNFRSF12A expression promotes tumor growth, potentially through the TNFRSF12A/RELA/BIRC3 regulatory axis.

Objective To analyze the monitoring data of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases prevention and control system in Yichang in 2022, and to provide data support and experience for the precise prevention and treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Methods Acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event data were collected from the Yichang Cardio-cerebrovascular Events Monitoring System from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. Descriptive analysis was conducted for the data collected. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 software, and a chi-square test was used to analyze the count data. Results A total of 37,217 cases of cardio-cerebrovascular events were monitored in Yichang in 2022. The crude incidence and the standardized incidence were 983.84/100,000 and 541.55/100,000, respectively. The incidence in males was higher than females (554.93/100,000 vs 428.91/100,000,χ2 =464.52,P<0.05). The top three diseases were cerebral infarction, acute myocardial infarction, and cerebral hemorrhage. The incidence of events increased with age, and 79.80% of the cases were over 60 years old. The main onset time was from May to August. Conclusion The use of the cardio-cerebrovascular events monitoring system in Yichang and the implementation of “mandatory reporting card” monitoring can timely obtain the epidemic characteristics of the diseases, provide support for the precise formulation of prevention and control strategies and measures, reduce underreporting rates, and improve the monitoring system, which is worthy of reference and promotion.
