Objective To systematically review the studies on predictive models for delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation. Methods Databases including China Biology Medicine Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, PubMed, Web of Science and CINAHL were searched to collect studies on predictive models for DGF after kidney transplantation published from the establishment of each database to June 29, 2025. Two researchers screened the literatures according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, evaluated the quality of the literatures using the prediction model risk of bias assessment tool (PROBAST), and conducted a meta-analysis of the common predictors of the models using R software. Results A total of 12 literatures were included, involving 14 predictive models with sample sizes ranging from 103 to 24 653 cases. Donor serum creatinine level, cold ischemia time, donor age and donor body mass index were the top four common predictors. All the predictive models were at high risk of bias and low in applicability. The results of meta-analysis showed that abnormal donor body mass index, advanced donor age, prolonged cold ischemia time and elevated donor serum creatinine level were all associated with an increased risk of DGF after transplantation (all P<0.01), but there was high heterogeneity among the studies. Fixed-effect model and random-effect model were used to re-pool the effect sizes separately. The results indicated that the fixed-effect model and random-effect model had good consistency in terms of donor body mass index, donor age and cold ischemia time, while there was a significant difference in the effect sizes of the two models for donor serum creatinine level. Conclusions The predictive models for DGF risk after kidney transplantation have good predictive performance, but the overall risk of bias is high. In the future, large-sample, multicenter and high-quality prospective clinical studies should be carried out to optimize the predictive models, so as to improve their predictive ability and clinical application value.

BACKGROUND:
Several studies have demonstrated the occurrence of secondary tumors as a rare but significant complication of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, underscoring the need for a detailed investigation. Given the limited variety of secondary tumor types reported to date, a comprehensive characterization of the various secondary tumors arising after CAR-T therapy is essential to understand the associated risks and to define the role of the immune microenvironment in malignant transformation. This study aims to characterize the immune microenvironment of a newly identified secondary tumor post-CAR-T therapy, to clarify its pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets.
METHODS:
In this study, the bone marrow (BM) samples were collected by aspiration from the primary and secondary tumors before and after CD19 CAR-T treatment. The CD45 + BM cells were enriched with human CD45 microbeads. The CD45 + cells were then sent for 10× genomics single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify cell populations. The Cell Ranger pipeline and CellChat were used for detailed analysis.
RESULTS:
In this study, a rare type of secondary chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) were reported in a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who had previously received CD19 CAR-T therapy. The scRNA-seq analysis revealed increased inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and an immunosuppressive state of monocytes/macrophages, which may impair cytotoxic activity in both T and natural killer (NK) cells in secondary CMML before treatment. In contrast, their cytotoxicity was restored in secondary CMML after treatment.
CONCLUSIONS
This finding delineates a previously unrecognized type of secondary tumor, CMML, after CAR-T therapy and provide a framework for defining the immune microenvironment of secondary tumor occurrence after CAR-T therapy. In addition, the results provide a rationale for targeting macrophages to improve treatment strategies for CMML treatment.

Traumatic brain injury(TBI)is mostly caused by motor vehicle traffic accidents or competitive sports,with high mortality and disability.TBI mainly includes primary injury and secondary injury.Primary injuries were caused directly by external forces.Secondary injuries include brain edema,excitotoxic effect of neuron cells,oxidative stress and neuroinflammation,etc.Effective intervention of secondary injury not only helps to improve the prognosis of patients with TBI,but also reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases related to TBI.Autophagy is one of approaches to regulate homeostasis in cells,and autophagy dysfunction has been found in several neurodegenerative diseases and TBI.It is speculated that autophagy dysfunction may play an important role in TBI and explain why patients with TBI have higher risk of neurodegenerative disease.Discovering the role of autophagy in the pathological mechanism of TBI may provide new targets for TBI clinical treatment and cognitive impairment prevention in patients with TBI.

Craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion is a special kind of compound injury, with low temperature, high permeability, high alkali, high salt content, and bacterial infection being the main causes. The injury is also characterized with complex damage mechanisms, difficulty to treat, and poor prognosis. At present, the damage mechanisms of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion are mainly studied by establishing the experimental animal models at the levels of tissue, cell, organelle, molecule, etc. However, the craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion is more complex than the simple onshore craniocerebral injury, therefore, a stable disease model is not easy to construct. Most researches on the specific injury mechanisms are relatively single and one-sided, with many different views in existence, and the damage mechanisms of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion have hitherto not been clear. The authors reviewed the research progress in the damage mechanisms of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion, in order to promote the in-depth study of the mechanism of craniocerebral injury with seawater immersion and provide reference for its clinical treatment.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the most common mental illness after patients suffer physically or emotionally from traumatic events, can cause persistently strong, painful and terrible avoidance symptoms, emotional and cognitive changes, causing psychologically strong stimulation and heavy burden to patients and even leading to some extreme behavioral reactions. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important factor in the occurrence of PTSD, both of which shares many similar pathological overlaps, and may coexist and interact with each other. The hippocampus and amygdala play a central role in the pathogenesis of PTSD, but the specific cellular and molecular and neural circuit mechanisms are still unclear. About two-thirds of the patients still meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD after psychotherapy. However, the current treatment methods are complicated and not unified, and patients treated with medications may have adverse drug reactions, poor treatment outcomes and recurrence. Therefore, it is of great significance to further clarify the occurrence and development of PTSD in TBI patients. The authors reviewed the research progress of the pathogenesis and treatment of PTSD in TBI patients, so as to provide reference for the related research and treatment of PTSD in TBI patients.

This study was aimed to design the first dual-target small-molecule inhibitor co-targeting poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) and bromodomain containing protein 4 (BRD4), which had important cross relation in the global network of breast cancer, reflecting the synthetic lethal effect. A series of new BRD4 and PARP1 dual-target inhibitors were discovered and synthesized by fragment-based combinatorial screening and activity assays that together led to the chemical optimization. Among these compounds, 19d was selected and exhibited micromole enzymatic potencies against BRD4 and PARP1, respectively. Compound 19d was further shown to efficiently modulate the expression of BRD4 and PARP1. Subsequently, compound 19d was found to induce breast cancer cell apoptosis and stimulate cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. Following pharmacokinetic studies, compound 19d showed its antitumor activity in breast cancer susceptibility gene 1/2 (BRCA1/2) wild-type MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7 xenograft models without apparent toxicity and loss of body weight. These results together demonstrated that a highly potent dual-targeted inhibitor was successfully synthesized and indicated that co-targeting of BRD4 and PARP1 based on the concept of synthetic lethality would be a promising therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.

Objective To observe the effect of oral massage combined with trial feeding on dysphagia in neonates with hypoxic- ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods We enrolled 30 hospitalized newborns who were diagnosed moderate to severe HIE with dysphagia in the NICU of our hospital from January 2016 to December 2017. According to the random number table method, these newborns was divided into control group and study group. Oral massage combined with trial feeding were given in the study group, nasogastric feeding in the control group and family participatory care and the treatment of nutritional neurodrugs were also given in two groups. To campare the oral milk remnant, feeding time and sucking action after the flow of milk and swallowing, oral feeding time, gastric tube indwelling time and length of stay in two groups. Results After 5 days intervention, the clinical manifestations of dysphagia in two groups were compared, and there were 6 cases, (8.50 ± 1.05)ml, (36.40 ± 2.87)min and 10 cases of oral milk remnant, feeding time and sucking action after the flow of milk and swallowing respectively in the study group, and 15 cases were 15 cases, (10.80 ± 0.39 )ml, (42.29 ± 1.60) min, 3 cases in the control group, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=12.86, t=7.52, 6.93, χ2=6.66, P<0.05). The oral feeding time, gastric tube indwelling time and hospitalization time of the study group were (15.60±1.35) d, (11.73±1.39) d, and (21.47±2.03)d, and the control group were (17.00±0.65) d , (14.13±0.99) d, (23.27 ± 1.16) d, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=3.61, 5.45, 2.98, P<0.05). Conclusions For children with dysphagia, oral massage and combined feeding before each feeding can promote the improvement of oral motor nerves in children, and improve feeding effect, and promote rehabilitation of children.
