Background/Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) following total hepatectomy is a life-saving treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC recurrence after LT hinders the effectiveness of the procedure. The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operative risk stratification model based on a liquid biopsy. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics study of 260 HCC patients from three centers, including clinical data, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma, as well as whole-exome, single-nucleus RNA, and spatial transcriptomics from matched tumor and non-tumor tissues. Results: We identified cfDNA-derived copy number alteration (CNA) signatures associated with post-transplant recurrence. By integrating cfDNA-derived CNA profiles with single-cell transcriptomic data, we traced recurrence-associated cfDNA to a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells within the primary tumor. These cells were embedded in a pro-metastatic microenvironment of specialized endothelial subtypes and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Notably, most recurrence-associated lesions were detectable in cfDNA prior to liver transplantation (LT). Building on these insights, we developed the ZJU Criteria based on CNA fragments and tumor markers, a pre-LT risk prediction tool that integrates conventional clinical factors with cfDNA-derived CNA signatures, and validated it using internal and independent external cohorts. Conclusion Our findings suggest that post-transplant recurrence commonly originates from advanced subclones that emerge late during tumor evolution. The ZJU Criteria provides an accurate, non-invasive strategy that significantly improves pre-LT risk stratification and clinical decision-making for patients with HCC.

The experts reached a consensus on the comprehensiveness and practicability of the index system, aiming to lay a solid foundation for construction of China's schistosomiasis prevention and control early warning system.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, and study the predictive effect of the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model.Methods:Relevant information on HFRS cases reported by the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System from January 2010 to August 2024 in Weinan City, as well as the epidemiological investigation data on clinical diagnosis and confirmed HFRS cases in Weinan City were collected. Epidemiological characteristics of HFRS were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods. At the same time, a SARIMA model was constructed based on the monthly incidence of HFRS from 2010 to 2023, the incidence of HFRS from January to August 2024 was used to test the simulation prediction effect, and the optimal model was used to predict the incidence of HFRS from September to December 2024.Results:A total of 4 373 HFRS cases were reported in Weinan City from 2010 to 2023, with an average annual incidence of 6.39/100 000. The incidence rate showed a cyclical fluctuation trend, reaching two peaks in 2012 (10.25/100 000) and 2021 (12.26/100 000), respectively. The incidence of HFRS presented a seasonal bimodal distribution, with the peak predominantly in autumn and winter (from October to January of the following year), accounting for 67.83% (2 966/4 373), and the peak in spring and summer (form May to July) accounting for 17.27% (755/4 373). HFRS cases were reported in all counties (cities and districts) of Weinan City, and the top 3 annual incidence rates were Huazhou District (17.84/100 000), Linwei District (16.10/100 000) and Huayin City (9.15/100 000). The age of onset was mainly concentrated in the age group of 15 - 59 years old, accounting for 68.31% (2 987/4 373). The male to female ratio was 2.96∶1.00 (3 268∶1 105). The main occupation was farmers, accounting for 82.07% (3 589/4 373). SARIMA (1, 0, 1) (2, 1, 1) 12 model was the optimal model for short-term prediction of HFRS incidence rate in Weinan City, and the residual difference was listed as white noise ( Q = 7.45, P = 0.878), the model could be used for disease prediction. The model was used to predict the incidence of HFRS from September to December 2024, and the predicted values of each month were 0.17/100 000, 0.59/100 000, 1.85/100 000 and 1.61/100 000, respectively. Conclusions:The epidemic range of HFRS in Weinan City is wide, and the incidence has obvious seasonality. The population are mainly males, young and middle-aged adults and farmers. The SARIMA (1, 0, 1) (2, 1, 1) 12 model constructed can be used for predicting the short-term incidence trend of HFRS in Weinan City.

Histone lactylation is a novel type of post-translational modification,where a lactate molecule covalently binds to the lysine residues of histones.This modification plays a key role in cellular metabolic reprogramming,particularly in digestive system tumorigenesis and progression.In recent years,the role of histone lactylation in various malignancies has been increasingly recognized,highlighting its broad impact on tumor biology and clinical potential.This article focused on the research progress of histone lactylation in digestive system cancers,specifically analyzing its mechanisms in major gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric cancer,liver cancer,and colon cancer.Studies have shown that lactylation modifies histone lysine residues directly,regulating tumor cell gene expression and chromatin conformation,thereby promoting tumor proliferation,invasion,and metastasis.Lactylation affects histone-DNA interactions,altering chromatin openness and enhancing the transcriptional activity of oncogenes.In addition,targeted therapies that modulate lactation levels or inhibit lactation-related enzymes,such as lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors,lactate production inhibitors,and specific histone lactonases,are effective in inhibiting tumorigenesis and progression and have demonstrated potential therapeutic efficacy in preclinical models.This article systematically summarized the mechanisms of histone lactylation in various types of gastrointestinal cancers,offering new research directions and theoretical support for targeted therapeutic strategies based on lactylation modification.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the current status of dietary behavior compliance among patients following bariatric metabolic surgery, as well as its associated influencing factors.Methods:A convenience sampling approach was employed to select 149 discharged patients who underwent bariatric metabolic surgery at the Gastric Surgery Department of a tertiary hospital in Fuzhou between August 2021 and February 2024. A WeChat communication group was established for survey participants, and a questionnaire survey was conducted via the mobile app "Wenjuanxing." Patients′ data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire and the Dietary Behavior Compliance Scale for Patients After Bariatric Metabolic Surgery. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors of dietary behavior compliance in postoperative patients.Results:A total of 165 questionnaires were distributed, with 149 valid responses retrieved. Among the 149 post-bariatric surgery patients, 37 were males and 112 were females, with an average age of (31.10 ± 7.26) years. The overall level of dietary behavior compliance was (56.91 ± 9.70). Significant differences in dietary behavior compliance were observed among patients of different genders, educational levels, drinking habits, and postoperative durations ( t = 2.17, 1.93, F = 4.27, 3.50, all P<0.05). Specifically, postoperative duration emerged as the primary factor influencing dietary behavior compliance following bariatric metabolic surgery ( t = -2.22, P<0.05). Conclusions:Female patients, those with a college degree or higher, and individuals within 0 to 6 months post-surgery demonstrated better dietary behavior compliance. Medical staff should comprehensively consider patient individual differences, develop, and implement personalized health education plans to enhance patient dietary behavior compliance.

OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of trauma orthopedic implant management on the operating room in-fection control rate and the medical device vendor follow-up rate.METHODS Trauma orthopedic implant manage-ment was implemented at Shaoxing People's Hospital from Mar.2023 to Mar.2024,involving 2 047 trauma or-thopedic surgeries(study group).For comparison,a control group consisting of 2 067 trauma orthopedic surger-ies from Mar.2022 to Feb.2023 under routine management was selected.The impact of trauma orthopedic im-plant management on operating room efficiency,infection control rate and medical device vendor follow-up rate in both groups were analyzed.RESULTS The study group showed satisfaction rates of 78.65％and 91.35％for cir-culating cooperation familiarity and handwashing cooperation familiarity,respectively,both higher than those in the control group(P＜0.001).The study group also demonstrated higher rates of standardized use of orthopedic trauma implants(96.43％),accurate item-code correspondence(98.19％)and timely availability(98.19％)than those in the control group,with a lower medical device vendor follow-up rate of 3.57％(P＜0.001).The study group's monthly overtime hours,costs,time costs,average cost per re-disinfection and re-cleaning service and monthly re-disinfection re-cleaning frequency were 13.85 hours,235.86 yuan/day,25 233.51 yuan,0.35 yuan/time and 183.81 times/month,respectively,all lower than those in the control group(P＜0.001).The study group had higher rates of consumable access compliance(99.22％),accurate charging(98.58％)and timely delivery(97.90％)than the control group(P＜0.001).The study group also achieved a 100.00％implant regulatory recovery rate,higher than the control group(P＜0.001).Furthermore,the surgical site infection rate in the study group was 1.91％,lower than that in the control group(P＜0.001).CONCLUSIONS This study establishes a trauma orthopedic implant management system integrating supply chain management,an identification system and IoT technology.This model effectively addresses core issues such as the difficulty in regulating multiple vendors,blind spots in virtual warehousing and disorder in item-code tracing under the traditional vendor self-management model.It significantly improves operating room efficiency,reduces the surgical site infection rate,and achieves a notable decrease in the medical device vendor follow-up rate.
