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.

Objective:In order to clarify the ABO phenotype and genotype,and explore the molecular biological mechanism,serological detection,genotyping and gene sequencing were performed on an upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage patient with inconsistent forward and reverse ABO blood typing.Methods:ABO forward and reverse blood typing,H antigen identification,capillary centrifugation test and salivary substance detection were performed by classical serological method,moreover,polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer(PCR-SSP)was used for ABO genotyping,ABO gene 1-7 exons were sequenced by Sanger analysis in order to identify mutation.Results:Mixed field agglutination with anti-A,anti-AB and no agglutination with anti-A1 were appeared in the forward typing tests,agglutination with B cells but no agglutination with A1 cells and O cells were appeared in the reverse typing tests.3+agglutination strength was showed with anti-H.In capillary centrifugation experiment,erythrocyte after isolation in proximal part and distal end had same strength of agglutination with anti-A.Substances A and H were detected in saliva.The patient was assigned an A3 phenotype according to serological characteristics.Sequencing results of ABO gene 1-7 exons showed c.261delG,c.467C＞T,c.865A＞G,in which,865A＞G was the first discovered mutation,and this new mutation had been submitted to GenBank with accession number PP187306.Conclusion:A novel site mutation c.865A＞G is reported in this study,and this new mutation can result in a replacement of Met with Val at residue 289(p.Met289Val)and lead to an A3 phenotype.

Mitochondrial transcription factor B1(TFB1M)is mainly involved in mitochondrial DNA transcription and related to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer.However,its role in colon cancer is unclear.In this study,the expression level of TFB1M in colon cancer and its prognosis were analyzed based on TCGA and other databases and IHC assays.Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were screened and subjected to the analysis of functional enrichment,mutation analysis,immune cell infiltration,and drug sensitivity analysis.CCK-8 and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of overexpression of TFB1M on the viability,apoptosis and cell cycle distribution of colon cancer cells.Our results showed that the expression level of TFB1M was significantly up-regulated in colon canc-er,and its expression level was correlated with the N stage and TNM stage(P＜0.05).The prognosis of colorectal cancer patients in the high TFB1M expression group was worse.Functional enrichment results showed that TFB1M was related to leukocyte-mediated immunity,immunoglobulin production and other signaling pathways.Mutation results showed that high-frequency mutated genes,such as ZFHX4,RYR2,PIK3CA and FAT4,had significantly higher mutation frequencies in the TFB1M high-expression group(all P＜0.05).In addition,the expression level of TFB1M was significantly higher in the PIK3CA and FAT4 mutation groups(all P＜0.05).Immune infiltration results showed that the percentage of CD4+memory activated T cells was increased in the TFB1M high expression group,while the percentage of Treg cells was reduced.The drug sensitivity results showed that patients in the TFB1M high expression group might be more sensitive to Tozasertib,cytarabine,vincristine,etc.,while patients in the TFB1M low expression group might be more sensitive to Dasatinib,JQ1,ERK_2440,etc.The results of cellular experiments showed that over-expression of TFB1M enhanced viability,reduced apoptosis and increased the percentage of S-phase and G2/M-phase cells in colon cancer cells.Altogether,the results indicated that TFB1M might play a key role in the growth of colon cancer cells by regulating immune cell infiltration and function.

Objective To explore the relationship between blood glucose variability, disease severity and prognosis of the patients with acute pancreatitis. Methods Total of 242 patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to the department of emergency from January 2019 to December 2019 were enrolled. The organ failure was evaluated according to Marshall's score, the severity of the disease was evaluated according to Atlanta's score, and the blood glucose indexes of three groups of patients with mild acute pancreatitis, moderate severe acute pancreatitis and severe acute pancreatitis were compared within seven days after admission. The relationship between blood glucose index and disease severity in different patients with acute pancreatitis was analyzed. Taking whether a puncture was performed at admission, whether the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), and whether the patient died as endpoint events as classification factors, the relationship between blood glucose indicators and disease prognosis of patients with acute pancreatitis was analyzed using the One-Way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), etc. Results Of the 242 patients, 70 cases (28.9%) were mild acute pancreatitis, 71 cases (29.3%) with moderate severe acute pancreatitis, 101 cases (41.7%) with severe acute pancreatitis. There was no statistically significant difference in the coefficient of variation of blood glucose among the three groups within 7 days of admission. The mean, standard deviation, maximum, minimum value and difference between maximum and minimum value of venous blood glucose in severe acute pancreatitis group were higher than those in moderate severe acute pancreatitis group, while those in moderate severe acute pancreatitis group were higher than those in mild acute pancreatitis group. The mean value of blood glucose of invasive operation group (IOP) (n=55) was higher than that of non-invasive operation (NOP) group(n=187). Conclusions The blood glucose level and fluctuation range of patients with acute pancreatitis within seven days after admission, are of great significance for the judgment of the severity and prognosis of the disease.

Objective:To explore the relationship between acute leukemia and blood lipid level.Methods:The Chinese and English literature on the relationship between acute leukemia and blood lipid level published in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases from the establishment of the database to December 2023 was searched, the literature that met the evaluation criteria was screened, and the quality of the literature was evaluated by using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Basic clinical characteristics and blood lipid-related data were obtained from the acute leukemia patients (acute leukemia group) and the healthy individuals who underwent physical examination or patients with non-hematological disorders that did not lead to abnormal blood lipid metabolism and who did not take medications that affected blood lipid during the same period (control group). Meta-analysis of the differences in peripheral blood levels of total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) between the two groups was carried out by using Stata 14.0 software to make forest plots and to calculate the combined weighted mean difference (WMD) or standardised mean difference (SMD) and 95% CI. Results:Six articles were finally included, published between 2005 and 2023, all of which were of moderate quality. Finally, 558 patients with acute leukemia and 323 controls were included in the analysis. By Meta-analysis, TG level in the acute leukemia group was higher than that in the control group (WMD = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.07-0.54, P = 0.012), HDL-c (SMD = -1.54, 95% CI: -2.11--0.97, P < 0.001) and LDL-c (WMD = -0.57, 95% CI: -0.72 - -0.41, P < 0.001) levels were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant; the difference in TC between the acute leukemia group and the control group was not statistically significant (WMD = -0.34, 95% CI: -0.82-0.13, P = 0.157). Conclusions:Compared with normal subjects, patients with acute leukemia have high TG level and low LDL-c and HDL-c levels.

The rapid development of the pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) has brought new challenges to occupational health management, including the high uncertainty in the R&D process, emerging hazards, and compliance complexities associated with novel business models. Traditional management approaches exhibit limitations in effectively addressing the occupational health risks associated with these challenges. Based on the perspective of agile governance, this paper proposed an optimized pathway characterized by dynamic response, adaptive flexibility, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. It further offered countermeasures and recommendations from three aspects: concept renewal, mechanism innovation, and tool empowerment, aiming to provide reference for the effective management and control of occupational health risks in the innovation and development of the pharmaceutical R&D industry.

This paper aims to study the effect of p-cymene on mice with deficiency-cold syndrome induced by hydrocortisone and deficiency-heat syndrome induced by dexamethasone and explore the medicinal properties and mechanism of p-cymene with mild and warm nature based on the dominant characteristics of the two-way applicable conditions of mild drugs. A total of 80 KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, deficiency-cold syndrome model group, deficiency-cold syndrome + ginseng group, and deficiency-cold syndrome + low-dose and high-dose p-cymene groups, as well as blank group, deficiency-heat syndrome model group, deficiency-heat syndrome + American ginseng group, and deficiency-heat syndrome + low-dose and high-dose p-cymene groups. Hydrocortisone and dexamethasone solution were intragastrically administered for 14 consecutive days to prepare deficiency-cold syndrome and deficiency-heat syndrome models. Except for the blank group and the model group intragastrically administered with normal saline, the other groups were intragastrically administrated with drugs for 14 days. The levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP), cyclic guanosine monophosphate(cGMP), triiodothyronine(T3), thyroxine(T4), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), immunoglobin G(IgG), and immunoglobin M(IgM) in serum, as well as the activity of Na~+-K~+-ATPase in liver tissue were detected. The expression of transient receptor potential melastatin 8(TRPM8), transient receptor potential vanilloid 1(TRPV1), and uncoupling protein 1(UCP1) in brown adipose tissue of deficiency-cold syndrome model after intervention with p-cymene was studied. The results showed that p-cymene could effectively improve the levels of cAMP, cAMP/cGMP, TC, IgM, and IgG in serum and the activity of Na~+-K~+-ATPase in liver tissue of mice with deficiency-cold syndrome and reduce the content of cGMP. The effects on T3, T4, and TG were not statistically significant. At the same time, p-cymene could reduce the levels of cAMP, cAMP/cGMP, and T4 in serum and the activity of Na~+-K~+-ATPase in liver tissue of mice with deficiency-cold syndrome and increase the levels of cGMP, IgM, and IgG, and it had no effect on T3, TC, and TG. In addition, p-cymene could up-regulate the expression of TRPV1 and UCP1 in brown fat of mice with deficiency-cold syndrome and down-regulate the expression of TRPM8. In summary, p-cymene could significantly regulate the syndrome indexes of mice with deficiency-cold syndrome, and some indexes of mice with deficiency-heat syndrome could be improved, but the effects on lipid metabolism and energy metabolism indexes were not obvious, indicating that the regulation effect of p-cymene on deficiency-cold syndrome model was more prominent and that the medicinal properties of p-cymene were mild and warm. The regulation of TRPV1/TRPM8/UCP1 channel expression may be the molecular biological mechanism of p-cymene with mild and warm nature affecting the energy metabolism of the body.
