Objective To systematically analyze the literature characteristics of Journal of Organ Transplantation since its inception. Methods Using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) academic journal full-text database as the data source, all articles published in the Journal of Organ Transplantation from January 2010 to August 2025 were retrieved. After excluding non-academic papers, a total of 1 568 research papers were included. R language 4.3.0, Bibliometrix package 3.2.1, and Citespace software were used to analyze the number of publications, publishing institutions, authors, keywords and other aspects. Results The number of publications in Journal of Organ Transplantation increased from an average of 82 articles per year in the early years after its inception to 113 articles per year in recent years, a growth of 37.8%. The geographical distribution of publishing institutions covers 32 provinces, cities and autonomous regions nationwide, mainly concentrated in the South China, East China and North China regions, and has now basically covered the central and western regions in recent years. The author collaboration network includes 45 authors distributed across 7 major collaboration clusters, forming a stable multi-level national research system centered on key university-affiliated hospitals. The high-frequency keywords are dominated by "liver transplantation" (425 times) and "kidney transplantation" (396 times). The theme evolution shows a clear three-stage characteristic: initially focusing on clinical technology application, deepening to immune mechanism exploration in the middle stage, and recently (since 2022) focusing on cutting-edge research areas such as xenotransplantation. Conclusions Journal of Organ Transplantation has witnessed the rapid development of China's organ transplantation cause, fully reflecting the research status and trends in China's organ transplantation field, and has provided an important platform for the future development and international cooperation in China's organ transplantation field.

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by multisystem developmental abnormalities, with its core pathogenic mechanism closely linked to dysfunction of the cohesin complex. Integrated multi‑omics evidence revealed that cohesin dysfunction disrupted three‑dimensional chromatin architecture and epigenetic homeostasis, triggered genome‑wide transcriptional dysregulation, and perturbed the regulatory networks of signaling pathways such as Wnt/β‑catenin, TGF‑β/BMP, and Sonic Hedgehog (SHH). These disturbances collectively drove multisystem phenotypes involving the neurological, cardiovascular and skeletal systems, and laid a theoretical foundation for further understanding of the pathological mechanisms of CdLS and optimizing molecular diagnosis. This review summarized the genetic basis (including epigenetic dysregulation mechanisms) and disruption of key developmental signaling pathways in CdLS,and discussed strategies for optimizing molecular diagnosis.

Objective To explore the epidemiological characteristics of gouty arthritis in Northwest China from 2023 to 2025, and to formulate preventive intervention measures. Methods By retrospectively analyzing the case data of medical institutions in Northwest China from January 2023 to June 2025 (a total of 8 139 cases), the incidence trend and population distribution characteristics of gouty arthritis in this area were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors. Results From 2023 to 2025, the prevalence rate of gouty arthritis in adult residents in Northwest China was 3.74% (304/8 139). Among the sites affected by gouty arthritis, the metatarsophalangeal joint accounted for the highest proportion (P<0.05). From the perspective of age distribution, the prevalence rate was the highest in 40-59 years old group (5.90%), followed by 66-80 years old group (4.21%) and >80 years old group (2.75%). The incidence rate in 40-65 years old group was higher than that in the other age groups (P<0.05). High blood uric acid and creatinine, alcohol drinking, obesity, high purine diet, concurrent chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome were risk factors affecting gouty arthritis in Northwest China (P<0.05). Conclusion High blood uric acid level, high creatinine level, alcohol drinking, obesity, high purine diet, concurrent chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome are risk factors influencing gouty arthritis in Northwest China. Based on the above factors, this study proposes comprehensive prevention strategies from the individual, community and public health levels to provide a scientific basis for reducing the incidence rate of gouty arthritis.

SUMMARY Hip fractures are common in elderly patients and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality,often referred to as the"last fracture of life".These fractures frequently result in a loss of functional independence.Evidence suggests that early surgical intervention can reduce mortality.The selection of treatment modality should take into account factors such as the type of fracture,the patient's age,and overall health status.This case report discusses an 88-year-old female patient who sustained an unstable intertrochanteric fracture of the left femur following a fall.She underwent closed reduction and internal fixation using an InterTAN intramedullary nail,resulting in a satisfactory postoperative recovery.Sixteen months following the surgical procedure,the patient presented with progressive pain in the left hip and ambulatory difficulties,absent from any evident trauma.Radiographic analysis identified a fracture of the left femoral neck accompanied by some degree of acetabular bone degradation attributable to the im-plant.Subsequently,the patient underwent removal of the internal fixation device and received a hemiar-throplasty.The postoperative course was uneventful,with marked improvements in both pain levels and functional capacity.This case underscored the intricate nature of femoral neck fractures following the internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures.Contributing factors may include advanced age,osteoporo-sis,and stress shielding induced by the implant.In patients presenting with hip pain or gait disturbances months to years post-intertrochanteric fracture surgery,the potential for a new fracture should be consi-dered,even in the absence of an explicit traumatic incident.Radiographic imaging is imperative to exclude the presence of a fracture,particularly in individuals with high-risk factors such as advanced age,osteo-porosis,alcohol abuse,and a history of hormone therapy.Management of such cases may necessitate the removal of internal fixation devices and the implementation of hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty,contingent upon the patient's surgical tolerance.Crucially,anti-osteoporosis therapy serves as a vital pre-ventive strategy.Considering the high-risk profile of elderly patients with hip fractures,diligent follow-up and timely intervention are paramount to mitigating complications and mortality,thereby enhancing the quality of life for these patients.This case highlights the critical need for increased vigilance and compre-hensive management of elderly patients with hip fractures to enhance treatment outcomes and improve prognosis.
