Objective: To investigate the impact of RhE antigen-matched transfusion during liver transplantation on early postoperative recovery and complications. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, ninety-five patients undergoing liver transplantation at Kunming First People's Hospital between January 2022 and July 2025 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (RhE-mismatched transfusion, n=57) and Group 2 (RhE-matched transfusion, n=38). The baseline data, complete blood counts, hepatic and renal function, coagulation parameters, and complication rates between the two groups were compared at postoperative days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The baseline characteristics were well-balanced and comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05). The early postoperative mortality rate in the mismatched group (31.58%, 18/57) was significantly higher than that in the matched group (10.53%, 4/38) (P=0.017). The incidence of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy was significantly higher in the mismatched group (50.88%, 29/57) than in the matched group (10.53%, 4/38) (P<0.001). The incidence of postoperative haemorrhage in the mismatched group (24.56%, 14/57) was higher than that in the matched group (5.26%, 2/38), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.014). The incidence of perioperative infection in the mismatched group (28.07%, 16/57) was higher than that in the matched group (10.53%, 4/38), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.04). Corresponding odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals indicated a lower risk of these adverse events in the matched group. On postoperative day 1, the change in activated partial thromboplastin time (-1.6, 20.5) in the mismatched group was greater than in the matched group (-0.2, 5.5). The change in international normalised ratio (-0.56, 1.22) in the mismatched group was greater than in the matched group (-0.18, 0.32), while the change in albumin (-4.0, 4.8) was smaller in the mismatched group than in the matched group (-2.5, 8.8). On postoperative day 5, the change in albumin (-0.41±7.83) in the mismatched group was smaller than in the matched group (2.68±4.53). At postoperative day 7, the change in albumin in the mismatched group (-0.61±7.38) was smaller than that in the matched group (2.51±5.85), while the change in D-dimer in the mismatched group (0.73, 7.4) was greater than that in the matched group (-1.6, 4.3). On postoperative day 10, the mismatched group exhibited significantly higher fibrinogen levels (-1.21, 1.78) than the matched group (-0.49, 0.97), and significantly longer prothrombin times (-11.3, -2.7) than the matched group (-6.2, -0.8) (all P<0.05). The matched group exhibited a mean overall survival (OS) of 32.803 months (95% CI:29.171-36.436 months), significantly exceeding the mismatched group's 28.996 months (95% CI:24.202-33.790 months). The log-rank test yielded statistically significant results (χ
=4.307, P=0.038). Conclusion: Implementing RhE blood group-matched transfusion during liver transplantation may help reduce early postoperative mortality and the incidence of major complication rates, promote faster recovery of coagulation and liver function, and thereby improve short-term patient outcomes.

Panvascular diseases represent systemic vascular disorders characterized by atherosclerosis as their core pathological feature. Their incidence rates continue to rise, posing significant challenges for clinical management. Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory of ''positive deficiency phlegm stasis'', this study delved into the pivotal role of mitochondrial homeostasis dysregulation in the pathogenesis and progression of pan-vascular diseases, along with its intrinsic connection to TCM pathogenesis. Mitochondrial homeostasis dysregulation pervades the entire course of these diseases, with mitochondrial oxidative stress serving as the initiating factor. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) trigger endothelial dysfunction, lipid accumulation, and inflammatory initiation. Additionally, the imbalance between mitochondrial autophagy and apoptosis constitutes a pivotal link in disease progression. Excessive or insufficient autophagy may lead to the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and excessive cellular apoptosis, thereby promoting plaque instability. Furthermore, mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming impairs energy supply and function in vascular wall cells, hindering subsequent vascular repair. These pathological processes constitute the microscopic manifestation of the core pathogenesis, which is characterized by ''the intermingle of phlegm and stasis and the deficiency of healthy Qi''. Specifically, the endogenous phlegm-turbidity drives mitochondrial oxidative stress injuries, the mutual entanglement of phlegm and stasis induces an imbalance between mitochondrial autophagy and apoptosis, while deficiency of healthy Qi propels mitochondrial energy metabolism disorders and reprogramming. In view of this, this study proposed to employ phlegm-resolving and turbidity-clearing methods to mitigate mitochondrial oxidative stress injuries, phlegm-resolving and blood-activating methods to regulate mitochondrial autophagy and apoptosis, and spleen-tonifying and kidney-nourishing methods to modulate mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming. This approach can prevent and treat panvascular diseases by multi-target regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis, providing a theoretical framework and therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of panvascular diseases through integrated Chinese and Western medicine.

Plutonium isotopes(238Pu,239Pu,240Pu and 241Pu)in the environment are important"fingerprint"nuclides in the study of nuclear activity traceability.The content of plutonium isotopes in the environmental metrics is usually very low,and the measurement of these isotopes,especially 238Pu,using mass spectrometry is seriously interfered with by the coexisting 238U.The analysis of several plutonium isotopes in soil usually requires combination of multiple measurement techniques,which leads to a long analysis time and large uncertainty in the isotope ratio.In this work,the hydrous titanium oxide(HTiO)precipitated by the hydrolysis of titanium oxydichloride(TiOCl2)under near-neutral condition was used to preconcentrate plutonium from the soil digestion solution,and the highly efficient decontamination of 238U in the sample was achieved by TK200 resin column chromatography with a decontamination factor of 108.Simulation resuts of density functional theory(DFT)showed that NH3 was considered as a promising reaction gas to eliminate the interference of 238U from 238Pu measurement using mass spectrometry due to the significant discrepancy of the chemical reactivity of U+and Pu+with the reactive gas NH3.Experiments confirmed that by optimizing the flow rates of collision gas(He)and reaction gas(NH3),the interference of 238U could be effectively suppressed,and the decontamination factor of 238U was 104.Combined with chemical separation,the overall decontamination factor of 238U could reach 1012 by using the developed method.By combining chemical separation and tandem quadrupole inductively coupled plasmon-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS/MS)measurement,the simultaneous determination of four ultra-trace plutonium isotopes in soil was realized,and the detection limit of plutonium isotopes was at the femtogram level.Analysis of the international standard reference materials(NIST-SRM-4357 and IAEA-384)showed that the established method could be successfully used for the accurate analysis of ultra-trace four plutonium isotopes(238Pu,239Pu,240Pu and 241Pu)in soil samples.

Objective To explore the role of plasma exosome microRNA-622(miR-622)in cachexia of hep-atocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Select preoperative blood samples from 40 patients with stage Ⅲ-ⅣHCC and 33 patients with non HCC liver benign diseases collected at Huashan Hospital,Fudan University from 2021 to 2024 as the research subjects.Exosomes were isolated from the plasma of patients,human HCC cell lines(HepG2,Hep3B,PLC,Huh7),and the culture supernatants of primary human hepatocytes(PHH)by differential centrifugation.The relative expression level of miR-622 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The level of lipolysis was assessed by determining the concentration of glycerol and fatty acids in adipocyte culture medium.Results Plasma exosome miR-622 levels in HCC pa-tients were positively correlated with subcutaneous adipose index and visceral adipose index(r=0.516,0.539,P<0.05).HCC cell conditional medium was able to significantly increase the lipolysis level of adipo-cytes.The relative expression levels of miR-622 in exosomes from HCC cells(HepG2,Hep3B,PLC,Huh7)were significantly lower than those in exosomes from PHH,with values of 0.13±0.04,0.28±0.08,0.23±0.07,and 0.24±0.04,respectively,compared to 1.00±0.18 in PHH exosomes.Further studies revealed that plasma exosome of HCC patients treatment was able to lead to a decrease in the relative expression level of miR-622 in adipocytes,as well as an enhancement of lipolysis.Conclusion The expression of plasma exosomal miR-622 is downregulated in HCC patients.HCC cells can deliver miR-622 to adipocytes via exosomes to reg-ulate lipolysis.Plasma exosomal miR-622 may serve as a potential biomarker for predicting HCC cachexia and a therapeutic target.

Aim To investigate the interventional effects of polysaccharides from Dicliptera chinensis(L.)Juss.(DCP)on acute liver failure(ALF)in-duced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)combined with D-galactosamine(D-GalN)in mice,and on LPS-induced inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 cells,based on the TLR-4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.Meth-ods Mice were randomly divided into the control,model,silymarin,DCP low,medium,and high dose groups,and toxicity test groups.After 10 consecutive days of treatment,ALF models were established by in-jecting mice with LPS+D-GalN.Additionally,an in-flammatory response model was established by stimula-ting RAW264.7 cells with LPS.Results Biochemical assays showed that compared with the model group,the medium-and high-dose DCP groups exhibited de-creased serum ALT,AST,ALP,TBIL,and γ-GT activi-ties(P<0.05),reduced levels of ROS,MPO and MDA in liver(P<0.05),increased activities of SOD,GSH-Px,CAT,and elevated T-AOC levels(P<0.05).ELISA revealed lower levels of ICAM-1,VCAM-1,IL-6,IL-1β,and TNF-α in liver(P<0.05).HE staining indicated reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and improved hepatocyte necrosis in liv-er after DCP administration.The use of DCP alone showed no significant organ toxicity.qRT-PCR and Western blot results indicated that DCP inhibited the expression of key factors in TLR-4/MyD88/NF-κB sig-naling pathway(P<0.05).Cell validation experi-ments also confirmed that this pathway was inhibited by DCP.Conclusion DCP alleviates ALF primarily by inhibiting oxidative stress and blocking the activation of the TLR-4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:To examine the clinical and multimodal ultrasonic characteristics differences between carotid web(CaW)and CaW with plaque,and to investigate the potential risk factors for stroke caused by CaW.Methods:A total of 215 patients who were diagnosed with CaW and simultaneously underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)and superb microvascular imaging(SMI)examinations from January 2018 to October 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into CaW group( n=67)and CaW with plaque group( n=148),the variations in clinical and multimodal ultrasonic characteristics between CaW and CaW with plaque were collected and evaluated,and univariable and multivariable Logistic regression analysis were utilized to identify possible risk factors for stroke caused by CaW. Results:Clinical features in terms of sex,age,history of smoking,alcohol,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,hyperlipidemia,and treatment,as well as ultrasonic features including web number,length,thickness,location wall,luminal stenosis,and CEUS enhancement were different between the two groups(all P<0.05). Triangular default on SMI was present in 98.5% of CaW and 68.2% of CaW with plaque. Multivariable Logistic regression results showed that web length( OR=1.415,95% CI=1.001-2.001, P=0.049)and angle( OR=1.026,95% CI=1.005-1.048, P=0.016)were independent predictors of luminal stenosis in CaW;for CaW with plaque,plaque thickness( OR=1.906,95% CI=1.343-2.704, P<0.001)and enhancement( OR=0.186,95% CI=0.065-0.537, P=0.002)were associated with stenosis. However,no risk factors associated with stroke caused by webs were identified. Conclusions:The clinical and multimodal ultrasonic manifestations of CaW and CaW with plaque are quite different. CaW with plaque presents two modes of extension,while a triangular filling defect observed on SMI is a typical feature of CaW. No risk factors associated with stroke caused by webs are identified.

Objective:To investigate the changes in serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) in patients with intracranial aneurysms before and after surgery, and their relationship with clinical prognosis.Methods:A prospective research method was used, a total of 120 patients with intracranial aneurysms who underwent endovascular embolization treatment in Xi'an NO.9 Hospital from December 2019 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects. According to the prognosis after one-year follow-up, they were divided into poor prognosis group and good prognosis group. The general data of the two groups and the changes of serum IL-1β and HIF-2α levels before and after surgery were compared and analyzed. The changes of serum IL-1β and HIF-2α before and after surgery in patients with intracranial aneurysms and their relationship with the prognosis of patients were analyzed.Results:Among the 120 patients, 98 (81.67%) had a good prognosis and 22 (18.33%) had a poor prognosis. The proportion of large and wide necked aneurysms in the poor prognosis group was higher than that in the good prognosis group: 40.91% (9/22) vs. 10.20% (10/98), 45.45% (10/22) vs. 20.41%(20/98), with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). On postoperative day 7, the serum levels of IL-1 β and HIF-2 α in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group: (62.58 ± 6.12) ng/L vs. (56.95 ± 5.33) ng/L, (101.62 ± 10.55) ng/L vs. (92.70 ± 7.82) ng/L, with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the size of aneurysms, including giant aneurysms, wide necked aneurysms, and high levels of serum IL-1β and HIF-2α 7 d after surgery, were independent risk factors for clinical prognosis in patients with intracranial aneurysms ( P<0.05). The working characteristic curve of the subjects was drawn, and the results showed that serum IL-1β and HIF-2α had certain predictive value for the clinical prognosis of intracranial aneurysm patients 7 d after surgery, but their sensitivity was relatively low. The parallel experiment method was used to jointly predict the samples. The results showed that the area under the curve for predicting the clinical prognosis of intracranial aneurysm patients with serum IL-1β and HIF-2α at 7 d after surgery was 0.867, with sensitivity and specificity of 86.40% and 74.50%, respectively, indicating high predictive value. Conclusions:The levels of serum IL-1β and HIF-2α are significantly elevated in patients with intracranial aneurysms after surgery, and are closely related to their clinical prognosis, which can help predict the clinical prognosis of intracranial aneurysm patients.
