Echinococcosis is categorized into alveolar echinococcosis and cystic echinococcosis, a potentially fatal zoonotic disease that seriously damages the host. MicroRNA is a type of endogenous small non-coding RNA that binds specifically to the target gene mRNA sequence to promote mRNA degradation, or combines with other non-coding RNA to regulate or inhibit translation. Echinococcus-derived microRNA participates in various biological processes in the Echinococcus lifecycle and in the interaction and pathogenesis between Echinococcus and host through extracellular vesicle transport. This article reviews the research progress of parasite-derived microRNA in regulating the growth and development of echinococcosis and cross-species regulation of hosts, providing a reference for diagnosing and treating echinococcosis.

Collagen is a major structural protein in the matrix of animal cells and the most widely distributed and abundant functional protein in mammals. Collagen’s good biocompatibility, biodegradability and biological activity make it a very valuable biomaterial. According to the source of collagen, it can be broadly categorized into two types: one is animal collagen; the other is recombinant collagen. Animal collagen is mainly extracted and purified from animal connective tissues by chemical methods, such as acid, alkali and enzyme methods, etc. Recombinant collagen refers to collagen produced by gene splicing technology, where the amino acid sequence is first designed and improved according to one’s own needs, and the gene sequence of improved recombinant collagen is highly consistent with that of human beings, and then the designed gene sequence is cloned into the appropriate vector, and then transferred to the appropriate expression vector. The designed gene sequence is cloned into a suitable vector, and then transferred to a suitable expression system for full expression, and finally the target protein is obtained by extraction and purification technology. Recombinant collagen has excellent histocompatibility and water solubility, can be directly absorbed by the human body and participate in the construction of collagen, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, cell growth, wound healing and site filling, etc., which has demonstrated significant effects, and has become the focus of the development of modern biomedical materials. This paper firstly elaborates the structure, type, and tissue distribution of human collagen, as well as the associated genetic diseases of different types of collagen, then introduces the specific process of producing animal source collagen and recombinant collagen, explains the advantages of recombinant collagen production method, and then introduces the various systems of expressing recombinant collagen, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, and finally briefly introduces the application of animal collagen, focusing on the use of animal collagen in the development of biopharmaceutical materials. In terms of application, it focuses on the use of animal disease models exploring the application effects of recombinant collagen in wound hemostasis, wound repair, corneal therapy, female pelvic floor dysfunction (FPFD), vaginal atrophy (VA) and vaginal dryness, thin endometritis (TE), chronic endometritis (CE), bone tissue regeneration in vivo, cardiovascular diseases, breast cancer (BC) and anti-aging. The mechanism of action of recombinant collagen in the treatment of FPFD and CE was introduced, and the clinical application and curative effect of recombinant collagen in skin burn, skin wound, dermatitis, acne and menopausal urogenital syndrome (GSM) were summarized. From the exploratory studies and clinical applications, it is evident that recombinant collagen has demonstrated surprising effects in the treatment of all types of diseases, such as reducing inflammation, promoting cell proliferation, migration and adhesion, increasing collagen deposition, and remodeling the extracellular matrix. At the end of the review, the challenges faced by recombinant collagen are summarized: to develop new recombinant collagen types and dosage forms, to explore the mechanism of action of recombinant collagen, and to provide an outlook for the future development and application of recombinant collagen.

Objective:This study aims to explore the ability of three assessment tools,namely mPG-SGA,PG-SGA,and GLIM,to evaluate malnutrition in patients with head/neck tumors undergoing radiotherapy.Additionally,it intends to investigate the correlation between mPG-SGA and calf circumference,grip strength,as well as traditional laboratory indicators in assessing malnutrition in this patient population.Methods:Prospectively,patients with head/neck tumors undergoing radiotherapy in West China Hospital,Sichuan University from January 1,2025 to March 20,2025 were selected as the research subjects.Baseline data and traditional nutritional indicators of the patients were collected,and malnutrition assessment was conducted using three tools:mPG-SGA,PG-SGA,and GLIM.Spearman correlation coefficient was used for analysis to explore the correlation between mPG-SGA scores and traditional nutritional indicators.Results:A total of 106 patients were initially included in this study,with 6 cases excluded,resulting in 100 eligible head and neck tumor patients.The average age of the enrolled patients was(51.62±11.97)years,among whom 74 were male(74%).The incidence rates of malnutrition assessed by mPG-SGA,PG-SGA,and GLIM were 41%,45%,and 23%,respectively.With PG-SGA as the gold standard reference,the sensitivity of mPG-SGA and GLIM in detecting malnutrition was 100.00%and 28.89%,respectively,and the specificity was 93.22%and 81.82%,respectively,with AUC values of 0.956 and 0.554.Results of correlation analysis showed that left calf circumference,right calf circumference,dominant hand grip strength,non-dominant hand grip strength,hemoglobin,and red blood cells were positively correlated with mPG-SGA[correlation coefficients were 0.307(P=0.002),0.294(P=0.003),0.395(P<0.001),0.360(P<0.001),0.226(P=0.028),and 0.267(P=0.009),respectively].Conclusion:mPG-SGA exhibited comparable diagnostic efficacy to PG-SGA and GLIM for malnutrition assessment in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy,while offering simplified operational procedures.This tool shows potential as a rapid nutritional evaluation alternative,though multicenter validation across various cancer types remains necessary.

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.

Objective To investigate the perioperative management of antithrombotic drugs in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods Patients on long-term antithrombotic drugs who underwent non-cardiac surgery in our hospital were included.Through interviews with patients and physicians,perioperative antithrombotic medication regimens were reviewed and compared with the"Multidisciplinary Expert Consensus on Perioperative Management of Antithrombotic Therapy"to evaluate compliance with consensus and analyze influencing factors.Results A total of 372 patients were included in the analysis.Among them,355 patients were on long-term antiplatelet therapy alone,and 17 were on long-term oral anticoagulantion.364(97.8％)discontinued antithrombotic medications prior to surgery.109 patients(29.3％)received low molecular weight heparin(LMWH)bridging therapy.Among the 355 patients on antiplatelet therapy,108(30.4％)had discontinuation durations consistent with the consensus recommendations,while 186(52.4％)discontinued medications for longer periods.Postoperatively,the average hospital stay for antiplatelet therapy patients was 6.64 days,with only 37(10.4％)resuming therapy during hospitalization.The average hospital stay for patients on anticoagulants was 9.94 days,with only 2(11.8％)resuming therapy during hospitalization.Regarding perioperative risk assessment,only 40(10.8％)of patients underwent additional internal medical evaluation for thromboembolic risk after medication discontinuation,with the remainder assessed soly by surgeons.Coronary heart disease was an independent risk factor associated with internal medical evaluation(OR 2.851,95％CI 1.160-7.011,P=0.022).For bleeding risk assessment,surgeons evaluations aligned with the consensus in 68.0％of cases,but surgeons tended to underestimate risk compared to the consensus.Conclusions In this single-center study,perioperative antithrombotic management showed low compliance with expert consensus,characterized by prolonged preoperative medication discontinuation,high rates of LMWH bridging,and low postoperative in-hospital resumption of therapy.A robust multidisciplinary collaboration system should be established to enhance comprehensive patient assessment.

Objective To investigate the effects of chronic restraint stress for 28 days(day and night)on mood and cognitive-like behavior in male and female ICR mice,to provide a basis for the selection of sex and restraint period in chronic restraint stress model animals.Methods A total of 72 male and female(1∶1)ICR mice were divided into six groups:male control,daytime restraint,and nighttime restraint groups,and female control,daytime restraint,and nighttime restraint groups.Mice in all but the control groups were bound for 10 h/d and restrained continuously for 28 days to establish a chronic restraint stress model.The emotional and cognitive behaviors induced by restraint in male and female mice at different times were observed by open field,Y maze,novel inhibition feeding,elevated cross maze,tail suspension,forced swimming,and dark-avoidance experiments.Results In the tail suspension experiment,the immobility time of male mice in the daytime restraint group was significantly increased compared with that in the control group(P＜0.05),and the immobility times of male mice in the daytime and nighttime restraint groups were also significantly increased in the forced swimming experiment,compared with those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between the female daytime restraint and female control groups in the novelty inhibition feeding experiment,but the feeding latency of the nighttime restraint group was significantly longer than that of the control group(P＜0.05)and the daytime restraint group(P＜0.05).The feeding latency of female mice was significantly longer than that of males during nighttime restraint(P＜0.05).In the open field test,compared with the male control group,the female control group showed a significant decrease in central area time and the ratio of central area time to peripheral area time(P＜0.05).Compared with the female control group,the female daytime restraint group exhibited a significant decrease in central area time and the ratio of central area time to peripheral area time(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between the groups in the elevated cross maze and Y maze experiments.There was no significant difference in dark latency between the daytime restraint group and the control group,but darkness latency was significantly shorter in the nighttime restraint group compared with those in the control group(P＜0.05).When male and female mice were combined,the immobility time in the daytime restraint group was significantly increased in the tail suspension experiment(P＜0.05),the immobility times of mice in the daytime and nighttime restraint groups were significantly increased in the forced swimming experiment(P＜0.01,P＜0.05),and the central zone time and the ratio of central area time to peripheral area time of daytime restraint mice were significantly shorter compared with those in the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the central zone time and the ratio of central area time to peripheral area time in the nighttime restraint groups,and no significant difference in average speed or total distance between the daytime and nighttime restraint groups.Conclusions Male mice exhibited depression after 28 d of chronic restraint stress during the daytime,while female mice were prone to anxiety after 28 d of chronic restraint stress.Male mice experienced learning and memory impairment after 28 d of chronic restraint stress during the night.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of adverse events during the perioperative period of transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBT)in bladder cancer patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease(CAD).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of bladder cancer patients who underwent TURBT in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from June 2022 to September 2024.All patients with bladder cancer and CAD underwent coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)for diagnosis and assessment of CAD before surgery.Based on the CCTA results,the patients with bladder cancer and CAD were divided into two groups:those with mild to moderate coronary stenosis and those with severe coronary stenosis.The severe coronary stenosis group was further divided into two subgroups based on whether they received low-molecular-weight heparin(LMWH)bridging therapy or continued their anti-platelet treatment before surgery.Perioperative anticoagulation and antiplatelet strategies were adjusted according to the opinions of the specialists.The incidence of adverse events within 30 days postoperative-ly was followed up and analyzed.Results:A total of 80 bladder cancer patients with CAD who underwent TURBT were included in the study.Among the 80 patients with CAD,55(68.8％)had mild to moder-ate coronary stenosis,and 25(31.2％)had severe coronary stenosis.Compared with those had mild to moderate coronary stenosis,the patients who had severe coronary stenosis had a higher incidence of post-operative bleeding and pulmonary embolism,although the differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).However,the incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction was significantly higher in the patients who had severe coronary stenosis(P=0.034).Among the patients with severe coronary stenosis,8(32.0％)received LMWH bridging therapy before TURBT,and 17(68.0％)continued their previous antiplatelet treatment.Compared with those who continued antiplatelet treatment,the patients who re-ceived LMWH bridging therapy had a higher incidence of postoperative bleeding and pulmonary embo-lism,although the differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).However,the incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction was significantly higher in the LMWH bridging group(P=0.032).Conclusion:Patients with mild-to-moderate coronary stenosis demonstrate relatively low perioperative risk during TURBT procedures and may safely undergo TURBT following antiplatelet therapy discontinuation.Conversely,those with severe coronary stenosis exhibit significantly higher perioperative risk and require intensive monitoring.In bladder cancer patients with concomitant severe coronary stenosis,perioperative LMWH bridging therapy is associated with increased myocardial infarction risk,whereas continued anti-platelet therapy does not elevate postoperative bleeding risk.Current evidence therefore supports maintai-ning antiplatelet therapy in these patients,with appropriate bleeding risk assessment.
