Quality control (QC) of biospecimens from oral and maxillofacial tumors patients constitutes a critical foundation for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and precision medicine research of these diseases. Biospecimen quality directly governs the discovery and validation of disease biomarkers, the elucidation of pathogenesis, and the efficacy of clinical translation. QC spans the entire biospecimen lifecycle—encompassing collection, processing, storage, transportation, and utilization. Its primary objectives are to ensure sample integrity, reliability, traceability, and consistency, thereby guaranteeing the robustness of research data; the accuracy of molecular subtyping, biomarker identification, and treatment response prediction; and the precision of clinical decision-making. However, current QC frameworks for these biospecimens remain underdeveloped. Drawing on domestic and international technical standards, regulatory guidelines, and recent research advances, this paper elaborates on the importance of implementing a QC management system throughout the biospecimen lifecycle. It focuses on QC methodologies tailored to diverse biospecimen types, examining how standardized sampling procedures, regulated preprocessing workflows, and optimized long-term storage conditions influence sample quality. We aim to provide concrete guidance and a transferable paradigm for establishing standardized QC protocols and an informatics-enabled traceability system specific to oral and maxillofacial tumors. Such efforts are intended to enhance the research value and clinical utility of these biospecimens, furnishing reliable sample resources and technical support for the development of precision diagnostics and therapeutics. Furthermore, we advocate for a dual-track “QC plus Ethics” management framework within biobanks. This approach would reinforce ethical and legal safeguards, establishing a robust barrier to support safe scientific innovation and clinical translation.

Objective: To define the mechanism by which swine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication. Methods: Porcine 3D4/21 cells with TRIM25 overexpression or knockdown were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. Viral replication was quantified by immunoblotting, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and 50% tissue culture infectious dose assays. Type I interferon signaling was assessed by transcript quantification, interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated response element reporter assays, and co-immunoprecipitation.Viral RNA binding was tested by RNA immunoprecipitation. Results: TRIM25 overexpression reduced viral RNA and infectious titers, whereas TRIM25 knockdown increased replication (p < 0.01). TRIM25 increased interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated gene expression and enhanced interferon-beta and interferonstimulated response element promoter activity (p < 0.01). Mechanistically, TRIM25 promoted Lys63-linked ubiquitination of RIG-I and increased phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 and interferon regulatory factor 3. TRIM25 also bound vesicular stomatitis virus genomic RNA, and binding required the C-terminal region. Conclusions and Relevance: Porcine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication by amplifying type I interferon signaling and directly binding viral RNA.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and potential neural mechanisms of individualized precision rehabilitation combining multimodal neuromodulation technologies under the guidance of multidisciplinary team (MDT)-based whole process dynamic assessment in a patient with large-area cerebral infarction who responded poorly to conventional rehabilitation. MethodsA 38-year-old male patient presented with hemiplegia and complete aphasia following large-area cerebral infarction in the left fronto-temporo-parietal lobe and basal ganglia due to arterial dissection. Under the MDT framework, the patient underwent six months of inpatient rehabilitation and one month of outpatient follow-up. Multimodal assessments were performed at multiple time points using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), three-dimensional gait analysis and 128-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring, combined with standardized scales, such as Chinese Rehabilitation Research Center Standard Aphasia Examination (CRRCAE), Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA), simplified Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel Index (MBI). The rehabilitation protocol integrated conventional therapies with multimodal interventions, including multi-target transcranial magnetic stimulation, brain-computer interface (BCI)-driven robotic hand training and task-oriented virtual reality upper limb training. ResultsAfter intervention, the patient showed significant improvements: LOTCA score increased by 16 points, CRRCAE subscale scores improved by 60% to 90%, total FMA score increased from 20 to 54, FMA-Balance reached 12, and MBI improved from 40 to 91. DTI revealed an increase in global fiber tract count, elevated fractional anisotropy in the corpus callosum and right corticospinal tract, and significantly increased amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations and regional homogeneity in specific brain regions on fMRI. Event-related desynchronization dynamically decreased during BCI training, and three-dimensional gait parameters showed overall improvement. ConclusionFor patients with large-area stroke who respond inadequately to conventional rehabilitation, an individualized precision rehabilitation system based on MDT whole-process dynamic assessment and integrating multimodal neuromodulation with conventional therapy can effectively enhance cognitive, language, motor functions and activities of daily living. Neuroimaging and electrophysiological findings suggest that the mechanism may involve promoting neural fiber remodeling and modulating regional brain activity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and independent risk factors of severe disease in patients with anti-nuclear matrix protein (NXP) 2 antibody-positive juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 219 anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM patients admitted to 23 children′s hospitals across China from July 2011 to July 2023. Patients were classified into severe and non-severe groups based on classification criteria for severe dermatomyositis. Demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, and laboratory parameters were compared between the 2 groups using independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for severe disease. The receiver operating characteristic curve was employed to calculate optimal cut-off values. Results:Among the 219 patients, 108 were male and 111 were female, with an age at onset of 6.3 (3.5, 9.4) years. The severe group comprised 69 patients, and the non-severe group 150 patients. The severe group had significantly higher rates of fever, heliotrope rash, subcutaneous edema, periorbital edema, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity, as well as elevated levels of ferritin-to-albumin ratio (FAR), creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified anti-Ro52 antibody positivity ( OR=13.26, 95% CI 1.37-128.29) and elevated FAR ( OR=1.90, 95% CI 1.09-2.31) as independent risk factors for severe anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM (both P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that a FAR cutoff value of 6.82 predicted severe disease with an area under the curve of 0.87 (95% CI 0.81-0.94, P<0.001), sensitivity of 0.85, and specificity of 0.70. All patients received glucocorticoid therapy, and the severe group received higher proportions of steroid pulse therapy, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, intravenous immunoglobulin, biologics, and adjuvant treatments compared to the non-severe group (all P<0.05). In terms of outcomes, 2 patients (2.9%) in the severe group died (due to neurological involvement and intestinal perforation, respectively), while the remaining patients achieved complete clinical response or remission. All patients in the non-severe group achieved remission. Conclusions:The primary clinical features of anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM included fever, heliotrope rash, subcutaneous edema, periorbital edema, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity, and elevated levels of CK, AST, LDH, and FAR. Furthermore, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity and a FAR>6.82 were identified as independent risk factors.

Purpose: Leptin interacts not only with leptin receptor (LEPR) but also engages with other receptors. While the pro-oncogenic effects of the adrenergic receptor β2 (ADRB2) are well-established, the role of leptin in activating ADRB2 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains unclear. Materials and Methods: The pro-carcinogenic effects of LEPR were investigated using murine TNBC cell lines, 4T1 and EMT6, and a tumor-bearing mouse model. Expression levels of LEPR, NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), and ADRB2 in TNBC cells and tumor tissues were analyzed via western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were assessed using flow cytometry and MitoSox staining, while immunofluorescence double-staining confirmed the co-localization of LEPR and ADRB2. Results: LEPR activation promoted NOX4-derived ROS and mitochondrial ROS production, facilitating TNBC cell proliferation and migration, effects which were mitigated by the LEPR inhibitor Allo-aca. Co-expression of LEPR and ADRB2 was observed on cell membranes, and bioinformatics data revealed a positive correlation between the two receptors. Leptin activated both LEPR and ADRB2, enhancing intracellular ROS generation and promoting tumor progression, which was effectively countered by a specific ADRB2 inhibitor ICI118551. In vivo, leptin injection accelerated tumor growth and lung metastases without affecting appetite, while treatments with Allo-aca or ICI118551 mitigated these effects. Conclusion This study demonstrates that leptin stimulates the growth and metastasis of TNBC through the activation of both LEPR and ADRB2, resulting in increased ROS production. These findings highlight LEPR and ADRB2 as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in TNBC.

Objective:To investigate the causes and management strategies of anesthetic complications during percutaneous spinal endoscopic surgery under local anesthesia.Methods:A total of 16 800 patients (8 625 males and 8 175 females) who underwent percutaneous spinal endoscopic surgery under local anesthesia (including intravenous basic anesthesia) in Tianjin Hospital, Shandong Public Health Clinical Center and Hebei General Hospital from February 2012 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The average age was 45.3±21.6 years (range, 12-84 years). There were 220 cases of posterior cervical keyhole endoscopic surgery, 50 cases of thoracic transforaminal endoscopic surgery, 70 cases of thoracic posterior interlaminar endoscopic surgery, 11 670 cases of lumbar transforaminal endoscopic surgery, and 4 790 cases of lumbar posterior interlaminar endoscopic surgery. The occurrence time, clinical manifestations, management of intraoperative anesthesia complications were recorded, as well as surgical segments, puncture sites, complication symptoms, signs, outcome and prognosis.Results:All patients received percutaneous water-mediated uniaxial spinal endoscopic surgery under local anesthesia. There were 9 patients experienced anesthesia complications, including 6 cases of epidural diffusion of anesthetics and 3 cases of anesthetics mistakenly entering the subarachnoid space. There were 4 males and 5 females, aged 48.4±18.2 years (range, 28-84 years). There were 1 case of T 12L 1 disc herniation, 1 case of C 5-6 disc herniation, 3 cases of L 4-5 disc herniation and 4 cases of L 5S 1 disc herniation. Surgical segments and procedures: 1 case of C 5-6 posterior Keyhole endoscopic surgery, 1 case of T 12L 1 transforaminal endoscopic surgery, 2 cases of L 4-5 transforaminal endoscopic surgery, 1 case of L 4-5 interlaminar endoscopic surgery, and 4 cases of L 5S 1 interlaminar endoscopic surgery. Anesthesia complications all appeared 5-10 min after injection of local anesthetics, with symptoms of decreased oxygen saturation, decreased blood pressure, altered consciousness, and sensory and motor dysfunction of limbs. 6 patients with epidural diffusion of anesthetics recovered completely after symptomatic treatment in 5 cases, and 1 case was left with foot drop. Three patients with anesthetics mistakenly entering the subarachnoid space were immediately converted to the supine position, of which one recovered by mask oxygenation; 1 patient improved after emergency tracheal intubation, rehydration, and application of vasoconstrictive medications; and 1 patient developed multiple complications such as multiorgan failure, rhabdomyolysis, and sepsis after tracheal intubation, and recovered at 3 months after surgery with symptomatic treatment. Conclusions:Epidural diffusion and entering into subarachnoid space of anesthetics are serious complications of local anesthesia in percutaneous spinal endoscopic surgery. In addition to sensory and motor dysfunction of the limbs, the functions of the respiratory and circulatory systems can also be affected. It is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of anesthesia-related complications during operation and early identification and treatment.

Objective Utilizing patient journey mapping to decipher disease management behaviors,barriers,and needs in young and middle-aged liver transplant recipients,providing implications for self-management optimization and quality of life improvement.Methods Using purposive sampling,12 young and middle-aged liver transplant patients who attended outpatient clinics or were hospitalized in liver transplant center of a tertiary hospital in Qingdao were selected for semi-structured interviews from September to November 2024.Thematic extraction and analysis were performed using Colaizzi's 7-step analysis,ultimately resulting in the development of a patient journey map.Results The journey stages were divided into transplantation decision-making period,transplantation waiting period,perioperative period,and post-discharge management period,and the journey key elements were designed as behaviors,barriers,and needs.A total of 25 themes were extracted,including behaviors(such as referrals to higher-level hospitals,verification of treatment options),barriers(such as lack of decision-making autonomy,health information-seeking barriers),and needs(such as shared decision-making,financial assistance).Ultimately,resulting in a map of the disease management journey for young and middle-aged liver transplant recipients.Conclusion The behaviors,barriers,and needs in disease management among young and middle-aged liver transplant recipients demonstrate distinct phase-specific patterns.Healthcare providers should deliver precise and dynamic interventions tailored to each clinical phase,aiming to foster optimal self-management behaviors,address phase-specific banriers,and meet evolving patient needs throughout the transplant continuum.

Objective To explore the application effect of health education based on gain and loss message framing on the treatment behavior intention and self-management of patients with high-risk diabetic foot.Methods From July to September 2024,convenience sampling was used to select patients with high-risk diabetic foot who were hospitalized in the endocrinology department of a tertiary general hospital in Guiyang as the study subjects.They were divided into 3 groups according to the admission time,with 30 patients in each group.The experimental group adopted health education based on gain message framing or framing loss message,while in the control group,health education was provided in a conventional manner.Before and after intervention,the differences of intervention effects among the 3 groups were compared by using diabetic foot pre-hospital delay intention questionnaire,diabetic foot care knowledge questionnaire and Chinese version of Nottingham foot care assessment scale(CNAFF).Results Ultimately,29 cases in the gain framing group,29 cases in the loss framing group,and 29 cases in the control group completed the study.After intervention,the score of pre-hospital delay intention questionnaire of diabetic foot in the gain framing group was(21.48±4.32),and it was(24.31±2.49)in the loss framing group,and(17.76±5.03)in the control group.The difference among the 3 groups was statistically significant(F=18.725,P＜0.001);the loss framing group was superior to the gain framing group(P=0.01)and the control group(P＜0.001).After the intervention,the score of the CNAFF in the gain framing group was(55.83±3.06),and it was(59.14±2.90)in the loss framing group,and(48.66±2.58)in the control group.The difference between the 3 groups was statistically significant(F=102.245,P＜0.001).The loss framing group was superior to the gain framing group and the control group(all P＜0.001).Conclusion Health education based on the loss message framing is more conducive to improving patients' intention to delay diabetic foot visits,leading to good foot care behaviors,and may provide an effective means of pre-hospital prevention and control of diabetic foot.

Objective To review the damage outcomes of patients in medical damage events and to analyze the influencing factors of medical causality determination in medical damage events in Tianjin city,with a view to reducing the occurrence of medical damage events by avoiding risk factors and standardizing the diagnostic and therapeutic activities of medical personnel.Methods 316 cases of medical damage events handled by the Medical Damage Identification Office of Tianjin Medical Association from 2017 to 2023 were selected as the research object,and descriptive analysis was used to summarize the basic situation of medical damage events,and the medical fault factors affecting the magnitude of the cause force of the medical side of medical damage events were explored through single-factor analysis and the construction of multiomal logistic regression models.Results Medical malpractice(OR=3.140)and incomplete preoperative assessment(OR=6.008)are factors that influence the determination of the liability of the medical institution in medical malpractice events(P＜0.05),and all three regression coefficients were greater than 0,all three were positively correlated with the probability that the medical cause power was judged to be greater than or equal to the equivalent cause.Conclusion The number of medical damage incidents in Tianjin shows a fluctuating downward trend.In Tianjin,the number of medical injury incidents showed a fluctuating downward trend,and the number of medical injury incidents in tertiary public general hospitals was the largest.Therefore,medical institutions should establish and improve multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment mode to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.Strengthen preoperative evaluation to avoid surgical risk.
