Standardizing the emergency assessment and management process for patients with implantable continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in emergency and intensive care settings is of great significance for reducing delays in diagnosis and treatment, lowering the mortality associated with LVAD-related emergencies, and improving overall prognosis and long-term survival. To this end, a multidisciplinary expert committee was convened to develop this consensus, integrating international evidence-based findings with clinical practice experience in China, with an emphasis on highlighting the characteristics of domestically manufactured devices. The aim is to establish an actionable standardized emergency management protocol to enhance clinical identification and response efficiency, reduce the risk of LVAD-related emergencies, and improve patient outcomes. Using a modified Delphi method, this consensus proposes a structured decision-making pathway that integrates an "ABC" rapid assessment with parallel device troubleshooting, prioritizing the use of point-of-care echocardiography for hemodynamic evaluation and complication assessment. Key emergency scenarios covered include low-flow alarms, pump thrombosis, right heart dysfunction, bleeding and anticoagulation imbalance, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest. This consensus applies to implantable continuous-flow LVADs commonly used in China, including domestically manufactured devices such as Corheart 6, CH-VAD, EVAHEART, and HeartCon, as well as the imported device HeartMate 3.

Objective To explore the valve regurgitation status of left heart after the implantation of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and its effect on prognosis of patients with LVAD implantation. Methods A total of 35 patients with cardiomyopathy who underwent magnetic levitation LVAD implantation at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from February 2021 to July 2024 were retrospectively selected. Clinical data during hospitalization were collected, including preoperative basic data and postoperative valve regurgitation status. Telephone follow-ups were conducted to monitor patients’ survival status and transthoracic echocardiography was used to assess left valve function. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank test were employed to compare the survival rate of patients with different levels of valve regurgitation. Results The 35 patients had a mean age of (53.9±11.1) years, with 85.7% male, and 3 patients (8.6%) died during hospitalization. Preoperatively, 17 patients (48.6%) had moderate or greater mitral regurgitation, while all 35 patients had less than moderate aortic regurgitation. One month postoperatively, thirty patients were followed up, among which 24 patients (80%) had less than moderate mitral regurgitation, including 11 cases with alleviated regurgitation compared to pre-surgery; 6 patients (20%) had moderate or greater mitral regurgitation, including 4 cases with stable regurgitation and 2 cases with progression of regurgitation compared to pre-surgery; 2 patients (6.7%) had progression of aortic regurgitation to moderate or greater. The follow-up time was 1.2 (1.0, 2.1) years, with 1-year survival rate of 91.4% and 3-year survival rate of 71.1%. Survival analysis showed that the 3-year survival rate of patients with moderate or greater mitral regurgitation one month postoperatively was significantly lower than that of patients with less than moderate regurgitation (66.7% vs 83.3%, P＝0.046). Conclusions After the implantation of magnetic levitation LVAD, most patients showed improvement in mitral regurgitation, while aortic regurgitation remained unchanged. The degree of mitral regurgitation one month postoperatively is associated with prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic and immunotherapeutic significance of androgen receptor V1 (ARV1) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and to explore its mechanism in CRC progression.Methods:The relationship between ARV1 expression and CRC prognosis was analyzed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA). Gene ontology (GO) analysis was performed to identify potential mechanisms through which ARV1 regulates CRC progression. Multiple public databases were used to analyze the correlation between ARV1 and immune cell infiltration and to predict the sensitivity of ARV1 to immunotherapy and chemotherapeutic drugs. Immunohistochemical validation was conducted using postoperative specimens from 199 CRC patients, and clinical correlations were analyzed.Results:ARV1 expression was significantly lower in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues ( P<0.001). Patients with high ARV1 expression exhibited better overall survival than those with low expression ( P=0.016). Clinical analysis indicated that ARV1 serves as an independent prognostic factor in CRC, and its expression was associated with age and clinical stage (all P<0.01). GO analysis revealed that ARV1 influenced multiple pathways in CRC. Immune-related analysis demonstrated that ARV1 participated in regulating immune cell infiltration in CRC. Drug sensitivity analysis showed differences in responses to various chemotherapeutic agents between high and low ARV1 expression groups ( P<0.01). In immunotherapy, significant differences in Immunophenotype Score (IPS) were observed between high and low ARV1 expression groups in PD1-negative/CTLA4-negative patients ( P<0.05). Immunohistochemical results from 199 CRC patients confirmed that low ARV1 expression was associated with poorer prognosis ( P<0.001). Conclusions:ARV1 expression affects CRC prognosis and may serve as a potential novel biomarker for immunotherapy in CRC.

General practice standardized residency training is a crucial part of postgraduate education for cultivating general practitioner. The factors influencing the quality of general practice residency training cover various aspects such as the residents themselves, teaching staff, management and decision-making levels, as well as teaching resources. Guided by the goal of "fostering virtue through education", and integrated the spirit of Norman Bethune and modern innovation theories and the educational philosophy, the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University has carried out comprehensive reforms in this field. It has constructed a PDCA cycle management system based on the concept of total quality management to improve the quality of education from multiple links such as quality planning and process monitoring. In terms of faculty development, based on the dissipative structure theory, a mechanism of "selection, evaluation, incentive, and elimination" has been established. Teacher communities have been formed and a training college has been established to strengthen the teaching team. In terms of platform construction, the linkage between "teaching base-community" and "on campus-off campus" has been strengthened and resources have been integrated. The reform has achieved remarkable results, and our practice may provide a reference for general practice medical education.

Background: Isoliquiritigenin, a key pharmacologically active compound derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, can be further modified into various high-value 5-deoxyflavones, demonstrating significant potential for pharmaceutical development. Currently, the supply of isoliquiritigenin primarily depends on plant extraction. However, heterologous synthesis using microbial cell factories presents a promising alternative, offering a solution to resource limitations caused by the dwindling availability of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Objective: This study aimed to employ heterologous synthesis in yeast strains for the stable and high-efficiency production of isoliquiritigenin. Methods: First, a stable chassis strain for isoliquiritigenin production was constructed by integrating optimized biosynthetic pathway enzyme genes. A type IV noncatalytic chalcone isomerase-like protein and a synthetic protein scaffold system were employed to enhance the metabolic channeling of key pathway enzymes. Subsequently, yeast metabolism was fine-tuned to balance precursor supply, and cofactor engineering strategies were implemented to increase nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) availability, thereby ensuring the catalytic efficiency of the key enzyme chalcone reductase. Results: The engineered strain Y21-2 achieved a 24.4-fold increase in isoliquiritigenin titer compared to the original strain. Additionally, the proportion of the by-product naringenin chalcone was reduced by 67.8%, marking the first instance in which the ratio of C-5 hydroxylated by-products was minimized to 10.4% during the microbial synthesis of 5-deoxyflavones. Conclusion: This work provides a valuable reference for the efficient and sustainable production of isoliquiritigenin, laying a solid foundation for further pathway optimization and the biotechnological synthesis of other high-value natural 5-deoxyflavones.

The polymerase 1 and transcript release factor (PTRF)-cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) phospholipid remodeling pathway facilitates tumor proliferation in glioma. Nevertheless, blockade of this pathway leads to the excessive activation of oncogenic receptors on the plasma membrane and subsequent drug resistance. Here, CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) was identified through screening of CRISPR/Cas9 libraries. Suppressing PTRF-cPLA2 signaling resulted in the activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway through phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine remodeling, which ultimately increased DPP4 transcription. In turn, DPP4 interacted with EGFR and prevented its ubiquitination. Linagliptin, a DPP4 inhibitor, facilitated the degradation of EGFR by blocking its interaction with DPP4. When combined with the cPLA2 inhibitor AACOCF3, it exhibited synergistic effects and led to a decrease in energy metabolism in glioblastoma cells. Subsequent in vivo investigations provided further evidence of a synergistic impact of linagliptin by augmenting the sensitivity of AACOCF3 and strengthening the efficacy of temozolomide. DPP4 serves as a novel target and establishes a constructive feedback loop with EGFR. Linagliptin is a potent inhibitor that promotes EGFR degradation by blocking the DPP4-EGFR interaction. This study presents innovative approaches for treating glioma by combining linagliptin with AACOCF3 and temozolomide.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Acanthopanacis Senticosi Radix et Rhizoma seu Caulis extract （ASH） in treating Parkinson's disease （PD） in mice by Data-Independent Acquisition （DIA） proteomics. MethodsThe α-Synuclein （α-Syn） transgenic PD mice were selected as suitable models for PD， and they were randomly assigned into PD， ASH （61.25 mg·kg^-1）， and Madopar （97.5 mg·kg^-1） groups. Male C57BL/6 mice of the same age were selected as the control group， with eight mice in each group. Mice were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage once a day for 20 days. The pole climbing time and the number of autonomic activities were recorded to evaluate the exercise ability of mice. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe neuronal changes in the substantia nigra of PD mice. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was employed to measure the tyrosine hydroxylase （TH） activity in the substantia nigra and assess the areal density of α-Syn in the striatum. DIA proteomics was used to compare protein expression in the substantia nigra between groups. IHC was utilized to validate key differentially expressed proteins， including Lactotransferrin， Notch2， Ndrg2， and TMEM 166. The cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） method was used to investigate the effect of ASH on the viability of PD cells with overexpression of α-Syn. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were employed to determine the protein and mRNA levels of Lactotransferrin， Notch2， Ndrg2， and TMEM 166 in PD cells. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group showed prolonged pole climbing time， diminished coordination ability， reduced autonomic activities （P<0.01）， and reduced swelling neurons. Compared with the model group， ASH and Madopar reduced the climbing time， increased autonomic activities （P<0.01）， and ameliorated neuronal damage. Compared with the control group， the model group showed a decrease in TH activity in the substantia nigra and an increase in α-Syn accumulation in the striatum （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the ASH group showed an increase in TH activity and a reduction in α-Syn accumulation （P<0.05）. DIA proteomics revealed a total of 464 differentially expressed proteins in the model group compared with the control group， with 323 proteins being up-regulated and 141 down-regulated. A total of 262 differentially expressed proteins were screened in the ASH group compared with the model group， including 85 proteins being up-regulated and 177 down-regulated. Kyoto encylopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） pathway analysis indicated that ASH primarily regulated the Notch signaling pathway. The model group showed up-regulation in protein levels of Notch2， Ndrg2， and TMEM 166 and down-regulation in the protein level of Lactotransferrin compared with the control group （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， ASH down-regulated the protein levels of Notch2， Ndrg2， and TMEM 166 （P<0.05） while up-regulating the protein level of Lactotransferrin （P<0.01）. The IHC results corroborated the proteomics findings. The cell experiment results showed that compared with the control group， the modeling up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of Notch2， Ndrg2， and TMEM 166 （P<0.01）， while down-regulating the mRNA and protein levels of Lactotransferrin （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， ASH reduced the mRNA and protein levels of Notch2， Ndrg2， and TMEM 166 （P<0.01）， while increasing the mRNA and protein levels of Lactotransferrin （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionASH may Synergistically inhibit the Notch signaling pathway and mitigate neuronal damage by down-regulating the expression of Notch2 and Ndrg2. Additionally， by up-regulating the expression of Lactotransferrin and down-regulating the expression of TMEM166， ASH can address brain iron accumulation， intervene in ferroptosis， inhibit mitophagy， and mitigate reactive oxygen species damage， thereby protecting nerve cells and contributing to the treatment of PD.
