Objective To explore the feasibility and reference value of allogeneic lung transplantation and postoperative monitoring in miniature pigs for lung transplantation research. Methods Two miniature pigs (R1 and R2) underwent left lung allogeneic transplantation. Complement-dependent cytotoxicity tests and blood cross-matching were performed before surgery. The main operative times and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO₂) after opening the pulmonary artery were recorded during surgery. Postoperatively, routine blood tests, biochemical blood indicators and inflammatory factors were detected, and pathological examinations of multiple organs were conducted. Results The complement-dependent cytotoxicity test showed that the survival rate of lymphocytes between donors and recipients was 42.5%-47.3%, and no agglutination reaction occurred in the cross-matching. The first warm ischemia times of D1 and D2 were 17 min and 10 min, respectively, and the cold ischemia times were 246 min and 216 min, respectively. Ultimately, R1 and R2 survived for 1.5 h and 104 h, respectively. Postoperatively, in R1, albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLB) decreased, and alanine aminotransferase increased; in R2, ALB, GLB and aspartate aminotransferase all increased. Urea nitrogen and serum creatinine increased in both recipients. Pathological results showed that in R1, the transplanted lung had partial consolidation with inflammatory cell infiltration, and multiple organs were congested and damaged. In R2, the transplanted lung had severe necrosis with fibrosis, and multiple organs had mild to moderate damage. The expression levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 increased in the transplanted lungs. Conclusions The allogeneic lung transplantation model in miniature pigs may systematically evaluate immunological compatibility, intraoperative function and postoperative organ damage. The data obtained may provide technical references for subsequent lung transplantation research.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) regimen in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor sintilimab as neoadjuvant therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients and the feasibility of the following selective bladder sparing surgery. Materials and Methods: Patients with histopathologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma without distant metastases (T2-4a, N ≤ 1, M0, American Joint Committee of Cancer 8th) and with adequate organ function will be enrolled. The therapeutic regimen was sintilimab 200 mg once on day 8, gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 and cisplatin 35 mg/m2 once on days 1 and 8, every 21 days for four cycles. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR, pT0N0) rate. The secondary end points were ypT < 2 rate, R0 resection rate, event-free survival, and safety. Results: From May 4, 2020, to May 20, 2023, 55 patients were enrolled. Forty-six patients were evaluated for efficacy. Among the 42 patients who underwent surgery, 16 patients (38.0%) achieved pCR. Thirty-three patients (78.6%) achieved pT < 2. With a median follow-up of 15.7 months, the 1-year event-free survival was 91.3%. Notwithstanding the poor pathological baseline characteristic of a high T3-T4a proportion (39.1%), a promising bladder preservation (including 22 patients transurethral resection of bladder tumor, 5 patients partial cystectomy, and 4 surveillances) rate was achieved (67.4%). The most common grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events was neutropenia (n=15, 27.3%), which was related to chemotherapy. There were no grade 3 immune-related adverse events. Conclusion Neoadjuvant GP plus sintilimab is a promising regimen for MIBC patients, with relatively high pT < 2 rate and triggering the emerging roles for the multi-disciplinary team decision-making for bladder sparing surgery.

Objective To explore clinical effect of accessory scaphoid bone fusion in treating type Ⅱ painful accessory scaphoid bone.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 26 patients with type Ⅱ painful accessory navicular bone treated by accessory navicular bone fusion from January 2012 to June 2022,including 1 male and 25 females,aged from 18 to 70 years old with an average of(44.61±16.32)years old;10 patients with type Ⅱ A and 16 patients with type Ⅱ B;20 patients with simple fusion and 6 patients with fusion plus calcaneal translocation osteotomy.Changes of Meary angle,Pitch angle,an-teroposterior talar-first metatarsal angle(T1MA),talonavicular coverage angle(TCA),lateral talocalcaneal angle(LTCA)be-fore operation and 6 months after operation were observed and compared,and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)foot and ankle score and visual analogue scale(VAS)were used to explore clinical effect.Results All 26 patients were followed up for 7 to 24 months with an average of(10.72±3.94)months.Meary angle,Pitch angle,T1MA,TCA and LTCA were improved from(9.20±2.57)°,(16.45±3.57)°,(33.34±5.02)°,(22.42±5.86)°,(48.89±4.43)° before opertaion to(3.33±1.06)°,(22.33±4.56)°,(23.89±3.48)°,(11.83±2.67)°,(36.50±3.50)° at 6 months after operation,the difference were statistically significant(P＜0.01).Postoperative AOFAS foot and ankle score were(86.24±4.33)and(93.18±6.02)for type Ⅱ A and type Ⅱ B at 6 months,which were significantly improved compared with those for type Ⅱ A and type Ⅱ B before op-eration(67.34±6.55)and(65.12±9.51),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01);20 patients got excellent re-sult,5 good and 1 poor.Preoperative VAS of type ⅡA(5.67±1.58)and type Ⅱ B(5.77±1.49)were improved to(2.13±1.01)and(1.43±0.68)at 6 months after operation,with statistical significance(P＜0.01).Conclusion Fusion of accessory navicular bone in patients with type Ⅱ painful accessory navicular bone combined with internal calcaneal osteotomy in patients with par-tial calcaneal valvaration could effectively correct flat foot deformity and relieve pain,and could be used as a clinical treatment for painful accessory navicular bone.

Lens injury is an important etiological factor in the reduction of visual function following ocular trauma.Currently, there are no clear standards for the classification of lens injury, and comprehensive diagnostic tools are lacking.This deficiency leads to numerous controversies and challenges in critical areas, such as diagnosis and preoperative evalution, timing of surgery, surgical strategy, and assessment of postoperative prognosis.Tomographic imaging technology, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, optical coherence tomography, has introduced a new dimension to the evaluation of lens injury, which is crucial for assessing the transparency, texture, location, morphology, and integrity of the lens, as well as the zonules and nearby intraocular structures.However, the use of tomographic imaging technology is somewhat limited due to the limitations of relying on a single method.With the ongoing advancement of imaging technologies and the rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence, tomographic imaging will become an increasingly essential tool in the future management of lens injury.Our expert group reviewed the epidemiological characteristics and classification of lens injury and the major challenges currently faced in the diagnosis and treatment of lens injury, and provided expert recommendations mainly focusing on the application, shortcomings and limitations of current tomographic imaging technology in the diagnosis and treatment of lens injury, and future development directions.

With the increasing global recognition of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture, as a non-pharmacological treatment, has demonstrated promising potential in alleviating symptoms, improving quality of life, and modulating immune and neurological system functions in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). This review summarizes the theoretical foundations and recent research progress on acupuncture for CD, and introduces a personalized "Three Discriminations" diagnostic and therapeutic strategy based on syndrome differentiation, meridian differentiation, and acupoint selection. It also identifies the target patient populations and clinical application value of acupuncture in CD treatment. Despite preliminary progress, acupuncture treatment for CD still faces multiple challenges, including limited high-quality clinical research evidence, uneven resource distribution, non-standardized efficacy evaluation systems, insufficiently standardized treatment strategies, and an incomplete understanding of its underlying mechanisms. Future efforts should focus on establishing high-quality evidence systems, optimizing integrative treatment strategies combining acupuncture with conventional medicine, and conducting deep exploration of multi-dimensional mechanisms, with the goal of promoting the standardized integration of acupuncture into the management of CD and providing patients with safer, more precise, and sustainable therapeutic options.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the serum levels of lncRNA mathematically expressed gene 3(lncRNA MEG3),lncRNA SRY-box transcription factor 2 overlapping transcript(lncRNA SOX2OT)and renal function and prognosis in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy(T2DN).Methods 205 patients with T2DN admitted to Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021(T2DN group)were selected,as well as 150 simple T2DM patients(T2DM group)and 150 healthy individuals(control group)during the same period.And the patients with T2DN were classified into the poor prognosis group(n=73)and the good prognosis group(n=132)according to the 3-year prognosis.Serum levels of lncRNA MEG3 and lncRNA SOX2OT were detected.Pearson analysis was used for correlation analysis;The influencing factors were analyzed using logistic regression,and the predictive value was evaluated using the subject's work characteristic curve.Results The serum lncRNA MEG3(2.20±0.32)in the T2DN group was higher than that in the T2DM group(1.49±0.20)and control group(1.00±0.06),and the lncRNA SOX2OT(0.50±0.11)was lower than that in the T2DM group(0.73±0.15)and control group(1.05±0.16),the differences were statistically significant(t=23.960,45.322;28.745,16.670,all P<0.01).The serum lncRNA MEG3 levels in T2DN patients were negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and positively correlated with urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR)levels(r=-0.532,0.485,all P<0.01)and the serum lncRNA SOX2OT level was positively correlated with eGFR and negatively correlated with UACR(r=0.421,-0.517,all P<0.01).The risk factors for poor prognosis in T2DN patients were chronic kidney disease stage 4,UACR and lncRNA MEG3(Wald χ2=6.360,6.678,16.652,all P＜0.05)while the protective factors were eGFR,lncRNA SOX2OT(Wald χ2=5.463,11.797,all P＜0.05).The AUC predicted by the combination of serum lncRNA MEG3 and lncRNA SOX2OT was larger than that predicted by lncRNA MEG3 and lncRNA SOX2OT predicts separately,and the differences were statistically significant(Z=3.841,3.337,all P<0.05).Conclusion Elevated serum lncRNA MEG3 levels and reduced lncRNA SOX2OT levels are associated with reduced renal function and poor prognosis in patients with T2DN,and the combination of the two tests has a high predictive value for poor prognosis in patients with T2DN.

Objective:To develop the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the theory of unpleasant symptoms, a preliminary version of the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy was developed through literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, and the Delphi method. After revising certain items in the pre-survey, convenience sampling was used to select patients who underwent bladder instillation chemotherapy in the Department of Urology Surgery of three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Yunnan Province from January to July 2024 as research subjects to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:A total of 168 questionnaires were distributed, and 162 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 96.429% (162/168). The Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy covered two areas of symptom severity and symptom distress, comprising five dimensions and 27 items. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the total scale was 0.953, and the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.806. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the four common factors for symptom severity contributed to 73.196% of the cumulative variance, while the single common factor for symptom distress accounted for 68.285% of the cumulative variance. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that all indicators met the fit criteria, indicating that the model possessed good goodness-of-fit. The content validity index at the scale level was 0.940, while the content validity index at the item level ranged from 0.833 to 1.000.Conclusions:The Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy developed in this study demonstrates good reliability and validity, and is suitable for evaluating symptoms in patients undergoing bladder infusion chemotherapy.

Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is insidious in onset and often causes obstructive jaundice due to bile stasis,leading to impaired liver function.For tumors with malignant obstructive jaundice,biliary drainage is often performed before surgery in clinical practice.Currently,the commonly used drainage methods are percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage(PTBD)and endoscopic retrograde biliary drain-age(ERBD),but there are controversies over the advantages and disadvantages of the two drainage methods.PTBD drainage can often lead to tumor implantation metastasis,but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.We detected tumor cells in PTBD and ERBD bile samples from hilar cholangiocarcino-ma patients,subsequently explored their tumorigenicity and mechanisms through tumorsphere assay in vitro and xenograft tumor models in vivo.The experiments included benign gallstones group(30 cases)as a negative control,PTBD group(14 cases)and ERBD group(13 cases).Tumorsphere formation was i-dentified in 3 cases(23％)among the 13 cases of ERBD group,in 6 cases(42％)among the 14 cases of PTBD group,but there were no tumor cells or formed tumorspheres in the 30 cases of benign gallstone group.The tumor sphere formation ability of cells in the PTBD group was significantly higher than that in ERBD group.Subcutaneous xenograft tumor assays showed that tumor growth in the PTBD group was sig-nificantly higher than that in the ERBD group.Tumor cells in PTBD bile possessed stronger tumorigenici-ty compared with the ERBD group.Mechanically,stem cell transcription factor Nanog mRNA levels were significantly higher in the PTBD group compared to the ERBD group.Both tumorsphere formation and xenograft tumor growth were reduced by Nanog knockdown in three cases of the PTBD group,indicating the important roles of Nanog in tumorigenicity of PTBD group tumor cells.The half-life of Nanog mRNA was longer in PTBD group cells than in ERBD group cells,suggesting potential post-transcriptional regu-lation on Nanog mRNA.The Nanog m6A level was higher in PTBD group tumor cells compared to the ERBD group.Analysis of methyltransferases and demethylases,ALKBH5(α-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase alkb family homolog 5)mRNA levels were lower in the PTBD group than in the ERBD group and significantly correlated with the m6A level of Nanog.ALKBH5 knockdown led to an increase in the m6A level of Nanog,while ALKBH5 overexpression decreased the m6A level of Nanog.Dual-luciferase activity assays demonstrated that ALKBH5 knockdown significantly enhanced luciferase activity,whereas ALKBH5 overexpression reduced it.Further studies confirmed that ALKBH5 knockdown upregulated both the mRNA and protein levels of Nanog,whereas overexpressing ALKBH5 downregulated them.ALKBH5 mediated the demethylation modification of Nanog mRNA,and the lower levels of ALKBH5 expression in the PTBD group promoted Nanog's m6A modification.Overexpressing ALKBH5 decreased tumorsphere growth,while ALKBH5 knockdown increased it,which was subsequently reduced by the simultaneous Nanog knockdown again.In sum,tumor cells in PTBD and ERBD drainage bile from hilar cholangiocar-cinoma patients exhibited tumorigenicity.Compared to the ERBD group,tumor cells in PTBD bile with lower ALKBH5 expression levels enhanced Nanog's m6A modification to upregulate Nanog expression levels,resulting in stronger tumorigenicity.These findings are significant for elucidating propensity to tumor implantation metastasis from PTBD drainage.
