In recent years， mesenchymal stem cells （MSC） have been widely explored in the treatment of liver diseases due to their characteristics of multipotential differentiation and immunomodulatory capabilities. Current evidence has shown that MSC therapy can improve liver function， alleviate fibrosis， and promote hepatocyte regeneration in end-stage liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis and liver failure. However， safety concerns have emerged with the increasing clinical use of MSC. This article systematically reviews the acute adverse reactions and long-term safety of MSC-based therapies for liver diseases. It is shown that MSC therapy has a good overall safety profile， with common acute adverse reactions of fever， rash， and mild allergy， most of which are self-limiting or can be alleviated by symptomatic treatment. No clear evidence of tumorigenesis has been reported in long-term follow-up， but some studies have suggested a potential association between MSC and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition， the risks of embolism， immune rejection， and infection susceptibility should be monitored continuously. Overall， MSC therapy shows good prospects in short-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of liver diseases， but clinical studies with a large sample size and a long follow-up period are needed to further validate its long-term safety and efficacy.

Objective:To construct an assessment system for patents'values of medically technical achievements,and explore and analyze assessment method for patents'values,so as to provide support for transferring patents of the achievements of science and research of medical technique.Methods:Aimed at the problem that quantitative assessment of patents'value existed difficulty in transferring achievements of science and research at the field of medicine-engineer integration,a comprehensively assessment model of combining analytic hierarchy process(AHP)and the entropy weight method was adopted to construct assessment indicator system for patent's value from technical value,law value,market value and policy value,which can explore the contribution and application strategy of each indicator in evaluating the transfer of the achievement of medicine-engineer integration.The data of Patyee patent databases and China national intellectual property administration were retrieved during January 2015 and June 2025.The achievement's transfers of patents of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University in the database during January 2024 and June 2025 were used to conduct verification for the application of assessing patents'value.Results:The assessment system for patents'values included four first-level indicators(the technical value,law value,market value and policy value of patents)and 15 second-level indicators.During 2015 and 2021,the number of applying patents of the national public hospitals increased year by year,and it slightly decreased after reached to 79 608 patents in 2021.The number of invention patents maintained a trend of continuous growth in the last decade,and the ratio of invention patents to the total number of whole applied patents reached to 53.66%in 2024,which was the first time that the number of invention patents exceeded half of the number of the total of number of the patents.There was better consistency between AHP-entropy weight method and the amount of actually achievement transfer of patents in comprehensive assessing the top 12 patents with high value at ranking for patents'value degree of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University.Conclusion:The evaluation result of the assessment system for patents'value of medically technical achievement for the degree of patents'value is basically consistency with the actual transfer value of patents,and the degree of patents'value of database,which can effectively evaluate the value degree of the patents of medically technical achievement,and provide basis for decision-making of transferring patents in this technical field.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma(SNEC)of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.METHODS The clinical data of 5 patients with SNEC diagnosed at Tianjin People's Hospital and Medical University General Hospital from December 2016 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 4 male patients and 1 female patient.The age range was 40-70 years,with an average age of 55 years.Among them,there were 4 stage ⅣA and 1 stage ⅣC.Two patients underwent surgery plus radiotherapy and chemotherapy,one patient underwent radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy,one patient underwent concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy,and one patient refused treatment.The follow-up period was 4-60 months.RESULTS By the end of the follow-up,2 patients died,2 patients relapsed,and 1 patient had no recurrence.CONCLUSION Nasal cavity and paranasal sinus neuroendocrine tumors are rare,and small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is even rarer.The clinical symptoms are not typical,and it is usually discovered at an advanced stage.The malignancy is high,and it is generally treated with a comprehensive approach that includes radiotherapy and chemotherapy.The treatment effect is poor.

A novel analytical method was developed in this study by combining online solid phase extraction with ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(Online SPE-UPLC-MS/MS)for simultaneous determination of 50 kinds of steroid hormones in surface water.Specifically,after high-speed centrifugation of 4 mL water samples,the supernatant was directly injected into an Oasis HLB online SPE column for enrichment and purification.Subsequently,the target compounds were transferred to the analytical column via valve switching for separation and analysis.The chromatographic separation was performed on a Thermo Acclaim RSLC C18 column(100 mm×2.1 mm,2.2 μm),using a mobile phase composed of 5 mmol/L ammonium fluoride aqueous solution and acetonitrile.Mass spectrometric detection was conducted in positive ion mode,utilizing multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)with quantification achieved by the internal standard method.The method validation demonstrated that the limits of detection(LOD)for the 50 kinds of steroid hormones ranged from 0.02 to 0.50 ng/L,while the limits of quantification(LOQ)were between 0.08 and 1.67 ng/L.The average recoveries in surface water samples at spiked concentrations of 5,20 and 200 ng/L were between 74.1％and 119％,with relative standard deviations(RSDs)of 0.2％to 9.9％.This method was applied to analyze 11 surface water samples collected from sites surrounding a pharmaceutical and chemical industrial park.A total of 44 kinds of steroid hormones were detected,with concentrations ranging from 0.11 to 88.6 ng/L,revealing the presence of hormone contamination in the environmental waters surrounding industrial areas.Compared with the traditional offline SPE methods,the proposed online SPE technique significantly reduced sample volume requirements and pretreatment time,while minimizing the loss of target compounds during the pretreatment process.Moreover,compared to reported online SPE techniques,this method achieved high-throughput analysis of multiple classes of steroid hormones,with lower detection limits and higher recoveries.Overall,this method provided rapid sample preparation,high sensitivity,and excellent stability,making it suitable for the direct analysis of trace steroid hormones in surface water.

An electrochemical sensor based on a chitosan-carbon nanotube(CS-CNT)composite-modified glassy carbon electrode(GCE)was developed in this work for highly sensitive detection of sunset yellow(SY)in food.The CS-CNT composite dispersion was prepared via an ultrasonic dispersion method.Combined with quantum chemical calculations,the adsorption mechanism of SY molecules onto the electrode surface,facilitated by π-π conjugation and electrostatic interactions,was elucidated.The optimized experimental conditions were determined as follows:12 μL of CS-CNT dispersion modification volume,accumulation time of 300 s,and a phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.0 as supporting electrolyte solution.Experimental results demonstrated that CS significantly enhanced the dispersion of CNT,increasing the effective surface area of the modified electrode by 2.22 times(reaching 0.1587 cm2)compared to the bare GCE.The sensor exhibited a linear detection range of 3.0×10-7 mol/L to 1.0×10-5 mol/L,with a detection limit(S/N=3)of 5.0×10-10 mol/L.Satisfactory spiked recoveries ranging from 96.9%to 101.1%were achieved,along with good preparation reproducibility(relative standard deviation,RSD=4.96%).Interference tests indicated high selectivity of the sensor against citric acid,glucose,and common metal ions.The reliability of the sensor was validated through the detection of SY in actual beverage samples.This electrode design simplified operational procedures,avoiding cross-contamination between measurements,and provided an efficient solution for the on-site monitoring of food additives.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical features and risk factors of anastomotic leakage (AL) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by laparoscopic radical resection and proctocol ostomy.Method:Clinicla data of LARC patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by laparoscopic radical resection and proctocol ostomy admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital between Jan 2019 and Oct 2023 was enrolled. According to the occurrence of AL, patients were divided into AL group and non-AL group.Results:After propersity matching score(PSM), there were 40 patients (33.4%) and 80 patients (66.6%) in the AL and non-AL group, respectively. The first-onset symptoms of AL were abnormal character and color of the drainage (23 cases, 57.5%) and fever (14 cases, 35.0%). About 82.5% of the AL were graded as B,and all 36 patients (90.0%) were managed consveratively by fully drainage anti-infection therapy. Logistic regression analysis indicated that tumor circumferential range more than 1/2 cycle ( OR=5.95, 95% CI:2.12-1.67, P=0.004), male ( OR=4.28, 95% CI:1.22-15.00, P=0.023) and high-ligation of Inferior mesenteric artery ( OR=8.08, 95% CI:1.86-37.78, P=0.006) were independent risk factors of AL. Conclusions:In this series, grade-B AL ranks the top of the incidence, and all were cured by conservative therapy. Special attention should be paid to those patients with the characteristics of male, tumor circumferential range more than 1/2 cycle, and high-ligation of inferior mesenteric artery.

Objective:To detect the association of tumor circumferential involvement range (CIR) with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) efficacy and long-term survival outcomes in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients.Methods:Clinical data of 451 patients admitted to our hospital from January, 2018 to January, 2022 were retrospectively collected. According to the CIRs as determined by rectal magnetic resonance imaging, patients were divided into the High group (≥2/3 cycle, 270 patients) and the Low group (＜2/3 cycle, 181 patients). The primary outcome was three-year disease-free survival. The baseline characteristics, pathological features, and survival outcomes were compared.Results:Compared to patients in the Low group, patients in the High group exhibited significantly larger tumor vertical diameters [(4.7±1.7) vs. (3.6±1.4)cm, P＜0.001], higher rates of mrT4 stage (37.8% vs. 13.2%, P＜0.001), and higher rates of positive mesorectal fascia (54.1% vs. 29.8%, P＜0.001) and extramural vascular invasion (55.6% vs. 38.1%, P＜0.001). Patients in the High group were mainly pT3-4 stages (46.7% vs. 30.9%, P=0.002), with significantly lower rates of pathological complete response (22.2% vs. 33.1%, P=0.010) , poorer tumor regression grades (48.9% vs. 60.8%, P=0.013), and higher rates of positive peripheral nerve invasion (11.5% vs. 5.5%, P=0.031), as compared to patients in the Low group. The median follow-up time was 40 months. About 11 (2.4%) and 48 patients (10.6%) experienced tumor local recurrence and distant metastasis, respectively. The recurrence rates were 2.2% and 2.6%, and the distant metastasis rates were 7.7% and 12.6%, respectively, in the Low group and the High group, with no statistical significance ( P=0.957, P=0.096). The three-year disease-free survival in the High group was significantly lower than that in the Low group (84.4% vs. 92.4%, P=0.014). Conclusions:The CIR is closely related to tumor burden, which can judge tumor response to NCRT, and is negatively related to survival prognosis. For patients who have more than a 2/3 cycle of CIR, intensified or consolidated treatments may be required to improve survival outcomes.

Objective:To develop rat models of oral mucosa ulcer using distinct experimental methodologies,fulfilling research requirements and adhering to the ethical standards for animal care.Methods:96 SD rats were randomly allocated into groups.The rats in control group(n=8)were regularly fed without other treatment.Those in chemical cauterization groups were treated by 20％,40％,60％of glacial acetic acid(GAA)on oral mucosa(n=8);in mechanical damage groups by 30 000 r/min high speed drill induced trauma of 10,20 and 30 mm2 respectively(n=8);in ionizing radiation groups were treated with 10,12,15,20 and 30 Gy on the mucosa respectively(n=8).After the ulcer was appeared,the morphology of the mucosa were observed,the mucosal tissue lesions were examined by HE,Masson and immunofluorescence staining,the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β were detected by qPCR and ELISA respectively,and the body conditions such as diet and body weight of the rats were observed,the pain,dis-tress and discomfor of the rats were evaluated by MORTON&Griffits Guidelines.Results:40％and 60％GAA,20 mm2 and 30 mm2 friction damage and ionizing radiation of 12 Gy or greater may induce oral mucosa ulcer with a diseas coruse of 6-7 d in SD rats.TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA expression in the damaged tissue,the related protein expression in blood serum of the rats were in-creased.MORTON&Griffits Guidelines analysis showed 40％GAA,20 mm2 friction damage and 12 Gy ionizing radiation induced the lowest scores of pain,distress and discomfort of the rats with compatible oral mocosa ulcere induced by the relevat treatment.Conclusion:40％GAA,20 mm2 of friction damage and 12 Gy of ionizing radiation can reliably establish oral mucosa ulcer models and minimize adverse effects on SD rats,and accord with ethical standards of 3R for laboratory animal.

Objective:To compare the prognostic impact of complete mesocolic excision (CME) versus D2 lymphadenectomy in patients with stage III right-sided colon cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of 263 patients with stage III colon cancer undergoing right hemicolectomy in the Division of Colorectal Surgery, Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital (January 1, 2016 to August 8, 2023) were included. Of the 263 patients, 152 underwent CME and 111 received D2 dissection. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to balance baseline characteristics between the two groups. Continuous variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test or Student's t-test; categorical variables were compared using the χ2 test or Fisher exact test. Survival curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Log-Rank test was used to compare disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) between groups. Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to analyze prognostic factors, with subgroup analyses performed.Results:Patients undergoing CME surgery were younger (proportion >75 years: 4.6% vs. 25.2%, P<0.001), had a lower burden of comorbidities (Charlson comorbidity index ≥ 1: 25.0% vs. 36.9%, P=0.045), The rates of open surgery and converted open surgery were lower [0.6% (1/152) vs. 4.5% (5/111) and 0.6% (1/152) vs. 2.7% (3/111), respectively; P=0.040].They also had a higher rate of receiving adjuvant therapy (92.7% vs. 76.0%, P<0.001). In terms of short-term postoperative outcomes, the CME group had a greater number of harvested lymph nodes (median: 30 vs. 25, P<0.001) and less blood loss (median: 20 ml vs. 20 ml, P=0.041). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the number of metastatic lymph nodes, operation time, and the incidence of postoperative complications. Survival analysis demonstrated significantly longer DFS in the CME group both before and after PSM. CME was an independent favorable prognostic factor for DFS (pre-PSM: HR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.31-0.91, P=0.022; post-PSM: HR=0.50, 95%CI: 0.26-0.97, P=0.042). No significant difference in OS was detected between the two groups across models. The subgroup analysis based on clinicopathological features revealed DFS benefits associated with CME in patients with tumor deposits (HR=0.41, 95%CI: 0.18-0.94, P=0.035), moderately-to-well-differentiated adenocarcinoma(HR=0.48, 95%CI: 0.26-0.90, P=0.023), proficient mismatch repair tumors (HR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.32-0.94, P=0.030), and pN2 stage disease (HR=0.43, 95%CI: 0.19-0.95, P=0.036). Conclusion:An extended lymph node dissection, as exemplified by CME, may confer a DFS advantage in patients with stage III right-sided colon cancer, especially those exhibiting a substantial burden of lymph node metastases.
