Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a pathological process involving multiple injury factors and cell types, with different stages. Currently, protective drugs targeting a single condition are limited in efficacy, and interventions on immune cells will also be accompanied by a series of side effects. In the current bottleneck research stage, the multi-target and obvious clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine (CM) is expected to become a breakthrough point in the research and development of new drugs. In this review, we summarize the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in various stages of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion and on various types of cells. Combined with the current research progress in reducing ROS/RNS with CM, new therapies and mechanisms for the treatment of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion are discussed.

This paper summarizes Professor WANG Xiuxia's clinical experience in treating hyperprolactinemia using the liver soothing therapy. Professor WANG identifies liver qi stagnation and rebellious chong qi （冲气） as the core pathomechanisms of hyperprolactinemia. Furthermore， liver qi stagnation may transform into fire or lead to pathological changes such as spleen deficiency with phlegm obstruction or kidney deficiency with essence depletion. The treatment strategy centers on soothing the liver， with a modified version of Qinggan Jieyu Decoction （清肝解郁汤） as the base formula. Depending on different syndrome patterns such as liver stagnation transforming into fire， liver stagnation with spleen deficiency， or liver stagnation with kidney deficiency， heat clearing， spleen strengthening， or kidney tonifying herbs are added accordingly. In addition， three paired herb combinations are commonly used for symptom specific treatment， Danggui （Angelica sinensis） with Chuanxiong （Ligusticum chuanxiong）， Zelan （Lycopus lucidus） with Yimucao （Leonurus japonicus） ， and Jiegeng （Platycodon grandiflorus） with Zisu （Perilla frutescens）.

Cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1(CYFRA21-1)is a new biomarker which has received much attention in recent years for cancer screening,and has shown great potentials for screening and diagnosis of various cancers,especially non-small cell lung cancer.CYFRA21-1 level in human serum has important clinical significance in the diagnosis,prognosis and treatment of lung cancer.Recently,a variety of detection techniques have been established to effectively enrich the detection technology system of CYFRA21-1,such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,chemiluminescence,fluorescence,immunochromatography,electrochemical method,and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy,etc.These techniques provide technical support for early diagnosis of lung cancer.However,the research progress of CYFRA21-1 detection methods is rarely reported.In this paper,CYFRA21-1 and its clinical significance were briefly introduced,and the progress of detection technology in recent ten years was reviewed,which was expected to provide reference for developing more sensitive,accurate,fast and convenient detection methods.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and identification of the independent risk factors for disease progression in patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed. A total of 323 cases with PBC diagnosed in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2013 to June 2023 (125 patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive and 198 patients with anti-gp210 antibody-negative) were included. Baseline and follow-up data were collected. The independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for comparison between groups of continuous data. The χ2 test was used to compare the data between groups for the count data. The Pearson test was used for correlation analysis between continuous variables. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the disease progression-free survival rate. The Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for disease progression. Results:The male proportion (11.2% vs. 5.1%, P=0.040) and IgM level [3.29(1.88, 4.80) g/L vs. 2.56(1.44, 3.87) g/L, P=0.019] were significantly higher in patients with PBC with positive anti-gp210 antibodies than those of the negative group. Histopathological analysis showed that the Scheuer score [1(0,3) vs. 0(0,2)], bile duct inflammation [(2(1,3) vs. 1(1,2)] and bile duct reaction score [(2(1,3) vs. 1(1,2)] were higher in the positive group than those of the negative group ( P<0.05), and the maturity of the tertiary lymphoid structure was higher ( P=0.011). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 5-year disease-free survival rate was significantly lower in patients with positive anti-gp210 antibodies than that of the negative group (55.8% vs. 79.7%, P=0.006) at a median follow-up of 3(2,6) years. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that γ-glutamyl transferase [ HR=1.002 (95% CI: 1.000～1.003)] and platelet count [ HR=0.993 (95% CI: 0.988～0.999)] were the independent influencing factors for disease progression in patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive PBC ( P=0.002, 0.017). Conclusion:Patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive PBC have more severe clinical pathological manifestations and a higher risk of disease progression. Higher levels of γ-glutamyl transferase and lower platelet counts during the first visit are independent risk factors for disease progression in patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive PBC, which can be used as dynamic monitoring indicators for this population, suggesting the need for early intensive intervention.

Objective To evaluate the value of tripartite motif-containing protein 21(TRIM21)mRNA expression in alveolar macrophages for the serverity and prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome(SP-ARDS).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 42 SP-ARDS patients(SP-ARDS group)and 15 outpatient healthy controls(control group)admitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine,Jinling Hospital Affilicated to Medical School of Nanjing University,from November 2023 to June 2024.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected,and alveolar macrophages were isolated.The expression levels of TRIM21 mRNA were quantified using qPCR.Differences in TRIM21 mRNA expression levels,clinical characteristics,and relevant laboratory test results were compared between the two groups.Correlations between TRIM21 mRNA expression and SP-ARDS severity,28-day mortality,inflammatory indicators,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)scores,duration of mechanical ventilation,and ICU stay were analyzed using Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for 28-day mortality,and the predictive value of each factor was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results Compared with control group,the expression levels of TRIM21 mRNA,white blood cell counts,neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),and C-reactive protein(CRP),and procalcitonin(PCT)levels increased(P<0.05),and hemoglobin levels decreased(P<0.05)in SP-ARDS group.No significant differences were observed in gender,age,smoking history,alcohol consumption,underlying disease history,and platelet count between the two groups(P>0.05).TRIM21 mRNA expression level in SP-ARDS patients was positively correlated with ARDS severity(P<0.05).Additionally,non-survivors within 28 days had a significantly higher expression level of TRIM21 mRNA compared to survivors(P<0.001).Correlation analysis indicated that the relative expression level of TRIM21 mRNA in SP-ARDS patients was positively correlated with CRP(r=0.309,P<0.05),NLR(r=0.422,P<0.01),PCT(r=0.561,P<0.001),APACHE Ⅱ score(r=0.615,P<0.001),and duration of mechanical ventilation(r=0.665,P<0.001).Logistic regression analysis revealed that elevated expression levels of TRIM21 mRNA(OR=2.886,P=0.043)and higher APACHE Ⅱ scores(OR=1.546,P=0.037)were independent risk factors for 28-day mortality in SP-ARDS patients.The areas under the ROC curves(AUCs)for predicting 28-day mortality using TRIM21 mRNA expression level and APACHE Ⅱ score were 0.889 and 0.874,respectively,with optimal cut-off values of 5.21 and 20.5 points,respectively.The combined AUC for prediction was 0.962.Conclusion Increased TRIM21 mRNA expression in alveolar macrophages of SP-ARDS patients is positively correlated with disease severity and may serve as a potential predictive marker for 28-day survival in SP-ARDS patients.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in treating patients with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease (MIDD) with renal injury.Methods:A case-series analysis study was conducted in MIDD patients with renal injury who received daratumumab treatment at the Department of Nephrology, Ruijin Hospital, affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from December 2021 to October 2023. The clinical data of patients at the time of diagnosis and during the follow-up period were collected. Hematological and renal responses were assessed and adverse reaction events were recorded.Results:Seven patients diagnosed with MIDD were included in this study, with a male-to-female ratio of 5∶2 and age of 46 (43, 52) years. One patient was light-heavy chain deposition disease, and the remaining 6 patients were light chain deposition disease. Among them, 5 patients had received prior treatment (1-2 lines of treatment with the regimen of cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone), while 2 patients were newly treated, one of whom had already started hemodialysis at diagnosis. Prior to receiving monoclonal antibody treatment, difference of serum free light chain (dFLC) among the 7 patients was 52 (7, 295) mg/L. Excluding 1 patient on dialysis, the remaining 6 patients had 24-hour urinary protein of 1.1 (0.2, 4.7) g, serum creatinine of 178.5 (157.8, 279.8) μmol/L and estimated glomerular filtration rate of 33.9 (24.2, 41.1) ml·min -1·（1.73 m 2） -1. The daratumumab treatment was 17 (10, 20) infusions, with treatment duration of 17 (9, 23) months and follow-up time of 24 (13, 32) months. After treatment, among 5 previously treated patients, hematological response evaluation showed that 1 patient with baseline dFLC <20 mg/L and minimal residual disease negativity upon re-examination, while the remaining 4 patients achieved hematological responses of complete response or better. Renal response evaluation revealed that, except for 1 patient with partial response, the other 4 patients achieved very good partial response (VGPR) or better. Among 2 newly diagnosed patients, both achieved hematological efficacy at least VGPR, with one achieving renal complete response, while the other one remaining dialysis- dependent. Overall, dFLC of 7 patients was 4.9 (2.1, 11.5) mg/L. Among 6 non-dialysis patients, 24-hour urinary protein was 0.19 (0.06, 0.42) g, serum creatinine was 153.0 (120.8, 188.0) μmol/L and estimated glomerular filtration rate was 40.4 (35.2, 57.3) ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1. No severe adverse reactions were observed during daratumumab treatment. Conclusion:The application of daratumumab in the treatment of MIDD with renal injury is effective and well tolerated, achieving high-quality hematological responses, with high renal responses reaching or exceeding VGPR and improvement of renal function.

Objective:To explore the impact and underlying mechanisms of social support on illness uncertainty among parents of children with autism.Methods:A convenience sample of 312 parents of children with autism was recruited from the outpatient clinic of Peking University Sixth Hospital between September 2023 and January 2024. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Parent's Perception Uncertainty Scale (PPUS), the Social Support Scale for Families with Children with Autism, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and the Questionnaire on Caregiving Issues and Service Needs of Parents of Children with Autism. Independent samples t-tests or one-way ANOVA were used to compare illness uncertainty scores across different characteristics. Pearson correlation analysis examined relationships among illness uncertainty, social support, caregiving issues and service needs, and anxiety. Chain mediation analysis was conducted using the SPSS macro PROCESS v4.1 to test the mediating roles of caregiving issues and service needs and anxiety. Results:The illness uncertainty score of the 307 valid respondents was (82.40±14.09). Mediation analysis indicated a direct effect of social support on illness uncertainty (effect value=-1.040), accounting for 72.27% of the total effect (-1.040/-1.439). A chain-mediated effect through caregiving issues and service needs and anxiety was also observed (effect value=-0.065), accounting for 4.50% of the total effect (-0.065/-1.439) .Conclusions:Parents of children with autism experience a relatively high level of illness uncertainty. Enhancing social support, addressing caregiving issues and service needs, alleviating parental anxiety may reduce their illness uncertainty.
