Objective: To systematically analyze the research status, highlights, and advancements of five-element music therapy (FEMT) in intervening depression with bibliometric methods. Methods: Relevant research literature on FEMT for depression intervention was retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), and Web of Science (WOS), spanning from January 1, 2000 to August 6, 2025. Bibliometric analysis was performed using Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace, with a focus on dimensions like publication trends, journal distribution, institutional and author collaboration, keyword co-occurrence, clustering, and burst detection, and highly cited publications. Results: A total of 382 articles were included, comprising 304 Chinese articles and 78 English articles. Annual publication volume in this field exhibited a steady upward trend, with Chinese literature initiating earlier and maintaining dominance, while English literature demonstrated marked growth from 2019 onward. Network analysis of institutional and author collaborations revealed collaborative networks centered on research teams led by Facai LIN (Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine) and Li LI (Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine), with Chinese authors and institutions remaining dominant contributors to English literature. Keyword analysis indicated that Chinese literature emphasizes clinical applications such as “depression” “five-elements music” “five-tone therapy” and “acupuncture”, whereas English literature prioritize “music therapy” “depression” “randomized controlled trial” and “anxiety” with a focus on mechanisms and standardization. Cluster analysis revealed a paradigm shift from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theoretical explanations to research integrating neurobiological mechanisms and modern technologies. Analysis of highly cited literature further corroborated this trend, indicating that FEMT research is transitioning from empirical clinical exploration to evidence-based mechanistic inquiry. Conclusion FEMT research on depression shows distinct thematic emphase, with Chinese literature focusing on TCM theory and clinical applications, while English literature emphasize evidence-based mechanisms. Future research should integrate systematic reviews and high-quality clinical trials and strengthen cross-institutional collaboration to enhance mechanistic evidence and broaden the scope of FEMT.

The aim of this study was to investigate the trend in testicular volume changes after orchiopexy in children with cryptorchidism. The clinical data of 854 children with cryptorchidism who underwent orchiopexy between January 2013 and December 2016 in Shenzhen Children's Hospital (Shenzhen, China) were retrospectively analyzed. The mean (standard deviation) age of the patients was 2.8 (2.5) years, and the duration of follow-up ranged from 1 year to 5 years. Ultrasonography was conducted preoperatively and postoperatively. The variables analyzed included age at the time of surgery, type of surgical procedure, laterality, preoperative testicular position, preoperative and postoperative testicular volumes, and the testicular volume ratio of them. The average testicular volumes preoperatively and at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years postoperatively were 0.27 ml, 0.38 ml, 0.53 ml, 0.87 ml, and 1.00 ml, respectively ( P < 0.001). The corresponding testicular volume ratios were 0.67, 0.76, 0.80, 0.83, and 0.84 ( P < 0.001). The mean volume of the undescended testes was significantly smaller than the mean normative value ( P < 0.001, lower than the 10 th percentile). The postoperative testicular volumes in children with cryptorchidism were generally lower than those in healthy boys but were still greater than the 10 th percentile and exhibited an increasing trend. The older the child is at the time of surgery, the larger the gap in volume between the affected and normal testes. Although testicular volume tends to gradually increase after orchiopexy for cryptorchidism, it could not normalizes. Earlier surgery results in affected testicular volumes closer to those of healthy boys.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of the measured femoral offset(FO)based on three-dimensional modeling of spiral computed tomography(CT)in percutaneous-assisted superior capsulotomy approach for total hip arthroplasty(THA).Methods:A total of 92 patients with fractures at hip joint who underwent percutaneous-assisted superior capsulotomy approach for THA at the 904th Hospital of People's Liberation Army Joint Service Support Force between January 2023 and June 2024 were prospectively enrolled.According to the preoperative FO median(34.8 mm)that was measured by CT,these patients were divided into high-FO group(n=46)and low-FO group(n=46).Postoperative outcomes between two groups,which included bone density T value(T value),FO value,external tilt angle and forward tilt angle of mortar cup,and the deviation of femoral stem alignment,as well as the scores of Harris Hip Score(HHS),Visual Analog Scale(VAS),positive rate of Trendelenburg sign and incidence of complication,were compared.Results:The preoperative bone density T value of high-FO group was(-1.1±0.7),which was higher than(-1.3±0.8)of low-FO group,and the difference was not significant(P>0.05).The FO was(38.5±3.4)mm in high-FO group,which was lower than(30.9±2.7)in low-FO group,and the difference was significant(t=12.356,P<0.001).The external tilt angle and forward tilt angle of mortar cup,and the deviation of femoral stem alignment of high-FO group were respectively(42.6±3.9)°,(16.8±2.6)° and(1.1±0.7)mm,which were lower than(43.4±4.1)°,(17.5±3.0)° and(1.3±0.8)mm of low-FO group,and the differences were not significant(P>0.05).The HHS scores at the 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month after surgery in high-FO group were significantly better than those of low-FO group,and the differences were significant(t=3.104,4.772,6.358,7.326,P<0.05).The VAS scores at the 3rd and 12th month after surgery in high-FO group were significantly lower than those in low-FO group,and the difference was significant(t=-9.215,-7.582,P<0.05).The positive rate of Trendelenburg sign at the 1st month after surgery in high-FO group was 15.2%(7/46),which was significantly lower than 39.1%(18/46)in low-FO group,and the difference was significant(x2=7.324,P<0.05).The used time of walking aids was shortened by 37%[(13.5±3.1)d]in high-FO group,which was significantly shorter than[(21.4±4.9)d]in low-FO group,and the difference was significant(t=9.127,P<0.05).Conclusion:Spiral CT-guided FO precision reconstruction can significantly enhance postoperative recovery quality of joint function of patients who undergo percutaneous-assisted superior capsulotomy approach for THA,and reduce the risks of abnormal gait and dislocation.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic risk factors of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)in adults across different age groups,providing evidence for age-stratified management strategies.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 80 MPP patients admitted to the Respiratory Department of a hospital between January 2023 and December 2024.Patients were divided into three groups based on age:young adults(18-40 years),middle-aged adults(41-60 years),and elderly adults(≥ 61 years).Demographic features,clinical indicators,and mixed infections were analyzed.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to identify risk factors for disease severity.Results:The severity rate was significantly higher in the elderly group(41.2％)compared to the young adult group(7.1％)and middle-aged group(20.0％)(P=0.022).Elderly patients also exhibited significantly higher rates of underlying diseases(chronic lung disease:35.3％vs.3.6％in young adults),elevated inflammatory markers(C-reactive protein:68.3±19.5 mg/L vs.32.5±8.4 mg/L in young adults),mixed infections(52.9％vs.14.3％),and prolonged hospital stays(8.61±2.22 days vs.5.01±1.11 days)(P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis identified age(OR=1.79 per 10 years),chronic lung disease(OR=3.25),blood urea nitrogen ≥6 mmol/L(OR=2.44),and mixed infections(OR=4.26)as independent risk factors for severe MPP(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Clinical manifestations and prognoses of MPP in adults vary significantly across age groups.Elderly patients are characterized by high mixed infection rates,intense inflammatory responses,and renal function impairment,necessitating individualized monitoring and intervention strategies.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human anti-severe acute respiratory syn-drome coronavirus 2(anti-SARS-CoV-2)monoclonal antibody injection(F61 injection)in the treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)combined with renal damage.Methods Patients with COVID-19 and renal damage who visited the PLA General Hospital from January to February 2023 were selected.Subjects were randomly divided into two groups.Control group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy,while trial group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy combined with F61 injection.A 15-day follow-up was conducted after drug administration.Clinical symptoms,laboratory tests,electrocardiogram,and chest CT of pa-tients were performed to analyze the efficacy and safety of F61 injection.Results Twelve subjects(7 in trial group and 5 in control group)were included in study.Neither group had any clinical progression or death cases.The ave-rage time for negative conversion of nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2 in control group and trial group were 3.2 days and 1.57 days(P=0.046),respectively.The scores of COVID-19 related target symptom in the trial group on the 3rd and 5th day after medication were both lower than those of the control group(both P＜0.05).According to the clinical staging and World Health Organization 10-point graded disease progression scale,both groups of subjects improved but didn't show statistical differences(P＞0.05).For safety,trial group didn't present any infusion-re-lated adverse event.Subjects in both groups demonstrated varying degrees of elevated blood glucose,elevated urine glucose,elevated urobilinogen,positive urine casts,and cardiac arrhythmia,but the differences were not statistica-lly significant(all P＞0.05).Conclusion F61 injection has initially demonstrated safety and clinical benefit in trea-ting patients with COVID-19 combined with renal damage.As the domestically produced drug,it has good clinical accessibility and may provide more options for clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Danmu Extract Syrup (DMS) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice and explore the mechanism. METHODS: Seventy-two male Balb/C mice were randomly divided into 6 groups according to a random number table (n=12), including control (normal saline), LPS (5 mg/kg), LPS+DMS 2.5 mL/kg, LPS+DMS 5 mL/kg, LPS+DMS 10 mL/kg, and LPS+Dexamethasone (DXM, 5 mg/kg) groups. After pretreatment with DMS and DXM, the ALI mice model was induced by LPS, and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected to determine protein concentration, cell counts and inflammatory cytokines. The lung tissues of mice were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) of lung tissue was calculated. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1 β in BALF of mice were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The expression levels of Claudin-5, vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), phospho-protein kinase B (p-Akt) and Akt were detected by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: DMS pre-treatment significantly ameliorated lung histopathological changes. Compared with the LPS group, the W/D ratio and protein contents in BALF were obviously reduced after DMS pretreatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The number of cells in BALF and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity decreased significantly after DMS pretreatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). DMS pre-treatment decreased the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 β (P<0.01). Meanwhile, DMS activated the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway and reversed the expressions of Claudin-5, VE-cadherin and VEGF (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS DMS attenuated LPS-induced ALI in mice through repairing endothelial barrier. It might be a potential therapeutic drug for LPS-induced lung injury.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor often leading to liver metastasis and mortality. Despite some success with PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, the response rate for colon cancer patients remains relatively low. This is closely related to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment mediated by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Our previous work identified that a phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) allosteric inhibitor, HKB99, exerts a range of anti-tumor activities in lung cancer. Here, we found that upregulation of PGAM1 correlates with increased levels of M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in human colon cancer samples, particularly in liver metastatic tissues. HKB99 suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in cell culture and syngeneic tumor models. M2-polarization, induced by colon cancer cell co-culture, was reversed by HKB99. Conversely, the increased migration of colon cancer cells by M2-TAMs was remarkably restrained by HKB99. Notably, a decrease in TAM infiltration was required for the HKB99-mediated anti-tumor effect, along with an increase in CD8⁺ T cell infiltration. Moreover, HKB99 improved the efficacy of anti-PD-1 treatment in syngeneic tumors. Overall, this study highlights HKB99's inhibitory activity in TAM-mediated colon cancer progression. Targeting PGAM1 could lead to novel therapeutic strategies and enhance the effectiveness of existing immunotherapies for colon cancer.
