Objective Jejunal interposition is an important option for restoring gastrointestinal continuity in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable for reconstruction due to previous gastrectomy, tumor involvement, failed gastric conduit, or other constraints. Although the jejunum offers a caliber similar to the esophagus, a rich blood supply, and preserved peristaltic function, anatomical variations in mesenteric length and vascular arcades render long-segment and high-level reconstruction susceptible to excessive tension, mesenteric torsion, venous congestion, and inadequate distal perfusion. This consensus aims to provide standardized recommendations for the application of jejunal interposition in this specific patient population. Methods This consensus was developed in accordance with the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and Chinese national guideline development standards, with reference to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ), Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), and Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) checklists. The project was registered on the international practice guidelines registry platform (PREPARE-2026CN1384). The working group systematically searched Chinese and English evidence addressing 12 clinical questions. Evidence was graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2009 system, with structured appraisal of risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Recommendations were formulated through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a face-to-face consensus meeting, with an agreement threshold of ≥75%. Results The consensus generated 12 recommendations covering indications, selection between jejunum and colon, preoperative assessment, surgical approach and reconstruction route, pedicled jejunal interposition (PJI), supercharged pedicled jejunal interposition (SPJ), indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion assessment, perioperative nutrition, management of anastomotic leakage, long-term follow-up, and special treatment scenarios. Given that the available direct evidence is predominantly derived from single-center retrospective cohorts and case series, recommendations extrapolated from general esophagectomy or other gastrointestinal surgical evidence are deliberately phrased with caution. Conclusion Jejunal interposition is a safe and effective approach for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable. This consensus emphasizes that clinical decision-making should be individualized based on the patient's prior treatment history, reconstruction height, vascular anatomy, technical availability, and institutional experience in the Chinese context.

OBJECTIVE: To explore short-term clinical efficacy of minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment system for hallux valgus in guiding the treatment of hallux valgus. METHODS: From March 2021 to November 2023, 68 patients (136 feet) with hallux valgus were treated under guidance of minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment system, including 12 males and 56 females;aged from 25 to 68 years old with an average of (42.5±8.5) years old, the course of disease ranged from 3.2 to 15.6 years with an average of (10.3±2.6) years. The changes of hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA), visual analog scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot score were recorded and compared before operation and 12 months after operation. RESULTS: Sixty-five patients (130 feet) were followed up for 12 to 15 months with an average of (13.8±0.5) months, 3 patients (6 feet) were not followed up as required. HVA and IMA improved from (35.5±3.5) ° and (12.5±2.0) ° before operation to (10.5±2.5) ° and (8.5±1.5) °12 months after operation, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05);VAS decreased from (5.5±1.2) before operation to (1.2±0.5) at 12 months after operation, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);AOFAS forefoot score increased from (50.6±5.1) before operation to (93.8±5.6) at 12 months after operation, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Among them, 102 feet were got excellent result, 24 feet good, and 4 feet fair. Two patients were developed calf intermuscular vein thrombosis, and were cured after 3 months of symptomatic treatment. CONCLUSION Under the guidance of minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment system for hallux valgus, the treatment of HV could obviously improve HVA and IMA, and significantly alleviate pain symptoms, and accelerate functional recovery.

Objective: To analyze characteristics of iron-deficient blood donors, implement targeted interventions, and evaluate their effectiveness, thereby providing a reference for formulating blood donor recruitment and care strategies. Methods: Based on serum ferritin (SF) test results, the apheresis platelet donors were divided into the low SF group (n=90; 45 males and 45 females) and the normal SF group (n=651; 510 males and 141 females). The results of related indicators of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Interventions for the low SF group included extending the blood donation interval to at least 45 days (group A) and oral iron supplementation combined with the extended donation interval implemented in group A (group B). Pre-intervention and post-intervention SF results were compared. Results: For both male and female donors, serum iron levels were significantly lower in the low SF group than those of the normal SF group, while the levels of transferrin, unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were higher in the low SF group compared to the normal SF group. Some indicators related to red blood cells showed changes, with more evident alterations in females than in males. Twenty-eight donors in group A and 39 donors in group B completed the study after intervention. SF value in group A was (18.32±8.09) μg/L at baseline and (26.21±17.30) μg/L after intervention. Similarly, SF value in group B was (15.87±7.69) μg/L at baseline and (26.24±15.55) μg/L after intervention. In both groups, SF values after intervention were significantly higher than baseline values. However, the magnitude of change did not significantly differ between groups A and B. Conclusion: Other related indicators in blood donors with low ferritin have also experienced some changes, suggesting that some blood donors may have entered the stage of iron-deficient erythropoiesis. Extending blood donation interval facilitates the recovery of iron storage in low-ferritin apheresis platelet donors. Blood stations should develop care strategies for apheresis platelet donors, including, at a minimum, the prolonged blood donation interval for donors with low ferritin.

Objective:The aim was to analyze key indicators for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis B（CHB），including virus detection rate，standardized treatment rate，and loss to follow-up rate，in order to provide a basis for optimizing diagnosis and treatment plans，improve the diagnosis and treatment level of CHB，and improve patient prognosis.Methods:Patients with CHB admitted to the Guangzhou Eighth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University from January 2024 to January 2025 were enrolled. The datas were collected and organized using Excel. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software，with a focus on evaluating core indicators such as virus detection rate，standardized treatment rate，and loss to follow-up rate.Results:The positive rate of hepatitis B surface antigen（HBsAg）in non-specific patients was 28.95%，the antiviral treatment rate in specialized patients was 90.78%，and the standardized antiviral drug conversion treatment rate in low-level viremia（LLV）patients was 61.45%. The standardized antiviral drug conversion treatment rates for high-risk patients with combined kidney/bone injuries were 72.75% and 74.40%，respectively. The overall dropout rate was 10.47%，with a dropout rate of 13.80% for LLV patients.Conclusions:The antiviral treatment coverage rates in CHB patients were over 90%，but in certain groups（such as LLV patients and those with kidney or bone injuries），the standardized treatment rates were still low and loss to follow-up rates were high，suggesting the need to improve HBV screening，treatment for special populations，and patient adherence.

Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of X-linked intellectual disability associated with HUWE1 gene variants.Methods:A cases series study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 6 children with HUWE1 gene variants. The children were identified from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, and Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center of Guangzhou Medical University between April 2021 and July 2023.The data included sex, age, dysmorphic features, intellectual and motor development, seizure history, neuroimaging findings, family history, and genetic results was analyzed.Results:A total of 6 children, including 5 boys and 1 girl. The age of onset ranged from 1 day to 3 years. All children presented with varying degrees of intellectual disability, with or without motor developmental delay. Dysmorphic features were observed in 4 children, including microcephaly in 3 children. Short stature were observed in 3 children. One child was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and 1 child had seizures. Two boys had relevant maternal family histories of febrile seizures and mild intellectual disability, respectively. Abnormal neuroimaging findings were presented in 4 children, including cerebral dysplasia (1 child), prominent supratentorial ventricles (1 child), and mild white matter demyelination (2 children). Whole-exome sequencing identified 5 missense variants and 1 in-frame deletion variant. Five variants were novel and previously unreported (c.12290C>T, c.12701T>C, c.9875C>T, c.9641A>T and c.10313_10315del). The variants in 4 boys were maternally inherited, while the remaining 2 children had de novo variants. The child with the in-frame deletion variant (c.10313_10315del) presented with the most severe phenotype, exhibiting symptoms from 1 day of age, absent cognitive development, feeding difficulties, and congenital laryngeal chondrodysplasia. He was lost to follow-up at 3 months of age after treatment was withdrawn. The age at the last follow-up for the remaining 5 children ranged from 2 years and 10 months to 17 years. A boy with seizures died at 2 years and 10 months of age. The remaining 4 children were able to walk independently at the last follow-up, although their developmental progress was slow. Conclusions:HUWE1 gene related X-linked intellectual disability is characterized by varying degrees of developmental delay and intellectual disability, frequently accompanied by microcephaly, short stature, and occasionally by seizures and autism spectrum disorders. Missense variants are more common and the in-frame deletion variant appears to be associated with a particularly severe phenotypic presentation.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Acute lung injury (ALI) has been a kind of acute and severe disease that is mainly characterized by systemic uncontrolled inflammatory response to the production of huge amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the lung tissue. Given the critical role of ROS in ALI, a Fe₃O₄ loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanocluster (BF) was developed to act as a nanomedicine for the treatment of ALI. Combining with NIR irradiation, it exhibited excellent ROS scavenging capacity. Significantly, it also displayed the excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions for lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induced macrophages (RAW264.7), and Sprague Dawley rats via lowering intracellular ROS levels, reducing inflammatory factors expression levels, inducing macrophage M2 polarization, inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway, increasing CD4⁺/CD8⁺ T cell ratios, as well as upregulating HSP70 and CD31 expression levels to reprogram redox homeostasis, reduce systemic inflammation, activate immunoregulation, and accelerate lung tissue repair, finally achieving the synergistic enhancement of ALI immunotherapy. It finally provides an effective therapeutic strategy of BF + NIR for the management of inflammation related diseases.

Objective:To investigate the impact of different ventilation modalities during initial resuscitation on short-term outcomes in adult patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).Methods:This retrospective study included adult patients (age ≥18 years) admitted to the emergency resuscitation or observation units of our hospital from September 2019 to December 2021. Demographic data, comorbidities, and short-term outcomes of IHCA patients who underwent airway management during resuscitation were recorded. Participants were stratified into non-advanced airway and advanced airway groups based on ventilation modality. The primary outcome was defined as sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) ≥20 min, and secondary outcomes included survival to discharge and favorable neurological status at discharge. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the impact of different ventilation modalities on short-term outcomes among adult IHCA patients. and developed a prediction model of ROSC for adult IHCA patients, and its predictive performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic.Results:Among 285 IHCA patients (non-advanced airway: n=75; advanced airway: n=210), 127 achieved ROSC ≥20 min, 51 survived to discharge, and 35 had favorable neurological outcomes. Logistic regression identified ventilation modality, epinephrine dose, and arrest location as independent predictors of ROSC in adult IHCA patients. Advanced airway management demonstrated significantly higher ROSC rates compared to non-advanced interventions ( OR=3.698, 95% CI:1.844-7.419, P<0.001). However, no significant associations were observed between ventilation modalities and survival to discharge ( OR=1.097, 95% CI:0.506-2.376, P=0.815) or favorable neurological outcomes at discharge ( OR=0.548, 95% CI:0.224-1.339, P=0.187). Ventilation modality, epinephrine dose, and arrest location were incorporated as predictors in a multivariable logistic regression model to develop a ROSC prediction model for adult IHCA patients. The discriminative ability of model was evaluated through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, yielding an AUC of 0.735 (95% CI:0.678-0.793). Subgroup analyses demonstrated that early advanced airway management significantly enhanced ROSC rates in noncardiac etiology cases, whereas no such benefit was observed in cardiac etiology cases, while this intervention correlated with decreased survival to discharge rates and deteriorated neurological outcomes among survivors. Conclusions:Advanced airway management demonstrated improved ROSC rates in adult IHCA cases, while showing no significant improvement in survival rates or favorable neurological outcomes at discharge. Ventilation modality, epinephrine dose, and arrest location are independent predictors of ROSC. A model integrating these factors exhibits moderate predictive utility for IHCA outcomes.

The development and validation of clinical prediction models based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning methods have become increasingly widespread. However, the prediction model bias risk and applicability evaluation tool developed in 2019 (i.e., PROBAST-2019) has shown significant limitations. Therefore, an expanded and updated version of the PROBAST-2019 tool was released in 2025, known as the PROBAST+AI tool. The tool is divided into two parts including model development and model evaluation. It aims to comprehensively and systematically evaluate potential methodological quality issues in model development, bias risks in model evaluation, and the applicability of models, regardless of the modeling method used. This paper provides a systematic interpretation of the PROBAST+AI tool's items and case analyses, with the aim of guiding and assisting researchers engaged in related studies and promoting the high-quality development of clinical predictive model research.

Objective:To investigate the changes and effects of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway during hypoxia-reoxygenation in human renal tubular epithelial(HK-2)cells.Methods:HK-2 cells were randomly divided into control group(Control),model group(Model),model+interference empty vector group(Model+NC),and model+interference group(Model+Si-β-catenin).Cells in the control group were cultured routinely.Cells in the Model group were intervened with hypoxia for 6 hours and reoxygenation for 2 hours to construct a hypoxia-reoxygenation model.HK-2 cells in the Model+NC group and the Model+Si-β-catenin group were transfected with β-catenin interference empty vector and β-catenin interference vector respectively,and then a hypoxia-reoxygenation model was constructed.After corresponding interventions,cells were collected.The apoptosis of cells in each group was detected by flow cytometry.The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-7(MMP-7)and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)was detected by immunofluorescence.The expression level of Wnt pathway-related proteins was detected by Western blotting.Results:Compared with that in the control group,the apoptosis rate of cells in the Model group was significantly up-regulated,and there was no significant difference in cell apoptosis between the Model group,the Model+NC group and the Model+Si-β-catenin group.The results of WB detection showed that there was no significant difference in the expression of GSK-3β protein in the cells among the control group,the model group,the model+NC group and the model+Si-β-catenin group.Compared with that in the control group,the expression of p-GSK-3β protein in the Model group was significantly up-regulated,while there was no significant difference in the expression of p-GSK-3βprotein between the Model group,the Model+NC group and the Model+Si-β-catenin group.The results of immunofluorescence detection showed that MMP-7 and α-SMA in the Model group were significantly increased compared with that in the control group,while there was no significant difference between the Model group and the Model+NC group.Compared with the Model+NC group,MMP-7 and α-SMA in the Model+Si-β-catenin group were significantly down-regulated.Conclusion:The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is activated in HK-2 cells during hypoxia-reoxygenation and promotes the expression of fibrosis-related proteins.Inhibiting β-catenin can improve its fibrosis induction level.
