Objective To compare the effects of dexmedetomidine and midazolam on intraoperative blood pressure and postoperative 90-day outcome of endovascular treatment(EVT)in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke.Methods Retrospective consecutive patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke who received EVT within 24 hours of onset,admitted to the Department of Neurology at the Second People's Hospital of Hefei from January 2024 to February 2025 were included.Patients were divided into the dexmedetomidine group and the midazolam group based on the choice of sedative in EVT.Baseline and clinical data were collected from patients,including sex,age,medical history(hypertension,diabetes,atrial fibrillation,stroke history),smoking history,blood pressure at admission(systolic,diastolic,mean arterial pressure),National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score at admission,trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification,and site of vascular occlusion(internal carotid artery,M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery).Procedure related parameters,including intravenous thrombolysis before EVT,intraoperative use of tirofiban,modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction(mTICI)grade,thrombectomy techniques(stent-retriever thrombectomy,aspiration thrombectomy,combined stent-retriever and aspiration thrombectomy,and other salvage measures),number of thrombectomy,time from onset to revascularization,time from puncture to revascularization,blood pressure during EVT(minimum systolic,minimum diastolic,and minimum mean arterial pressure),and blood pressure at the end of EVT(systolic,diastolic,and mean arterial pressure).The primary outcome was good prognosis at 90 days after EVT(modified Rankin scale score of 0-2 at 90 days),while secondary outcome was＞20％decrease in mean arterial pressure during EVT,early neurological improvement(ENI;a decrease on NIHSS score no less than 8 or a reduction of NIHSS score to 0-1 at 24 hours after EVT),and early neurological deterioration(END;an increase of more than 2 points on the NIHSS at 24 hours after procedure).Safety outcomes included any intracranial hemorrhage within 48 hours after EVT,symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 48 hours after EVT(sICH;intracranial hemorrhage confirmed by head CT leading to neurological deterioration,with an increase in NIHSS score of at least 4 points,or the presence of potentially fatal intracranial hemorrhage on head CT),pneumonia within 2 weeks after EVT,and the 90-day mortality after EVT.The baseline and clinical data,EVT conditions,primary outcome,secondary outcome,and safety indicators were compared between the two groups.Univariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the variables associated with a decrease in mean arterial pressure＞20％during EVT in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke.Variables with P＜0.15 and those considered potentially influential based on clinical experience were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify predictors of a＞20％decrease in mean arterial pressure during EVT in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke.Results A total of 93 patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke who underwent EVT were included,comprising 51 males and 42 females,aged 34 to 99 years,with an average of(71±13)years old.Among them,63 patients were in the dexmedetomidine group,and 30 patients were in the midazolam group.33 patients showed＞20％decreases in mean arterial pressure during EVT,while 60 patients had ≤20％decreases.(1)Compare with the midazolam group,the proportion of female patients in the dexmedetomidine group was lower(36.5％[23/63]vs.63.3％[19/30],P=0.015),and the age was younger([69±13]years vs.[77±13]years,P=0.005).There were no statistically significant differences in other baseline and clinical data(all P＞0.05).(2)In comparison with the midazolam group,the dexmedetomidine group had a higher proportion of patients with more thrombectomy procedures(1.00[1.00,2.00]times vs.1.00[1.00,1.25]times,P=0.011),END(27.0％[17/63]vs.6.7％[2/30],P=0.023),sICH within 48 hours(19.0％[12/63]vs.3.3％[1/30],P=0.041),and a decrease in mean arterial pressure＞20％during EVT(42.9％[27/63]vs.20.0％[6/30],P=0.031).There were no statistically significant differences in the remaining EVT conditions,primary outcome,secondary outcome,and safety indicators(all P＞0.05).(3)The results of univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that diastolic blood pressure at admission(P=0.002),mean arterial pressure at admission(P=0.009),and dexmedetomidine sedation(P=0.036)were the influencing factors of a decrease＞20％in mean arterial pressure during EVT in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke.(4)The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that dexmedetomidine sedation(OR,3.271,95％CI 1.057-10.126,P=0.040)and higher diastolic blood pressure on admission(OR,1.105,95％CI 1.006-1.213,P=0.037)were independent predictors of a decrease over 20％in mean arterial pressure during EVT in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke.Conclusions Dexmedetomidine is an independent predictor of an over 20％decrease in mean arterial pressure during EVT in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke,but there is no statistically significant differences in the rate of good neurological function at 90 days and 90-day mortality postoperatively between the two groups.Further prospective randomized controlled studies are needed.

Objective To verify the applicability of a pig STR multiplex amplification system for detecting processed foods containing pork and their digestive samples,and to evaluate its potential in food safety and forensic biological evidence analysis.Methods DNA profiles were obtained using the pig STR amplification system from food samples with different levels of processing(raw pork,boiled pork,fried pork,and sausage)and from digestive samples(rat gastric contents).The influence of processing methods on DNA integrity was assessed.The uniformity of large-scale processed ham products,the consistency of DNA profiles from different parts of the same sample,and the DNA degradation patterns after rat digestion were examined.Results STR profiling of pig DNA was successful in all tested samples.Short fragments showed high amplification stability,while long fragment signals weakened with increasing processing complexity.In processed ham products,DNA profiles were consistent across all sampled parts,with fragment drift within±0.5 bp.Analysis of rat gastric contents showed slight DNA degradation within 2 hours;after 3 hours,long fragment signals weakened,and after 4 hours,some loci signals were lost.Conclusion The pig STR multiplex amplification system exhibits excellent performance in detecting processed pork products and their digestive samples.It can meet the requirements of food traceability and forensic biological evidence analysis for processed pork,providing new insights for the advancement of forensic testing techniques in this field.

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:This study aims to investigate the expression of uridine diphosphate-glucose[]pyrophos-phorylase 2(UGP2)in breast cancer(BC)tissues and its oncogenic mechanism,assessing its potential value as a diag-nostic and prognostic biomarker for breast cancer.Methods:(1)Online database analysis was conducted to assess UGP2 mRNA and protein expression levels in breast cancer and explore their correlation with clinical characteristics.Im-munohistochemistry(IHC)was used to verify UGP2 expression in human breast cancer tumor tissues and evaluate its relationship with clinicopathological features.(2)Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and COX regression models were used to analyze the impact of UGP2 expression on breast cancer patient prognosis.(3)Bioinformatics methods were em-ployed to investigate the correlation between UGP2 and tumor immune cell infiltration,and to predict the biological func-tions and associated signaling pathways of UGP2 in breast cancer.Results:(1)The mRNA and protein expression levels of UGP2 were upregulated in breast cancer tissues(both P<0.05),and were negatively correlated with ER-positive and PR-positive status(OR<1,P<0.05),while positively correlated with Ki-67 levels and the triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)subtype(OR>1,P<0.05).(2)Elevated expression levels of UGP2 were associated with poorer survival rates in breast cancer patients(both P<0.05)and were identified as an independent adverse prognostic factor for breast cancer(HR=1.40,P<0.05).(3)Functional analysis results suggested that UGP2 may promote tumor progression by regulating metabolism,hormone signaling,and the immune microenvironment.Additionally,UGP2 expression was negatively cor-related with NK cell activation status and positively correlated with the inhibitory state.Conclusion:UGP2 expression is elevated in breast cancer tissues and is closely associated with poor patient prognosis.It may promote cancer pro-gression through mechanisms such as metabolic reprogramming and immune suppression.UGP2 shows promise as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in breast cancer,providing a basis for personalized treatment.

This paper summarizes the progress of theoretical research and practice of One Health in China,and discusses the paradigm of One Health governance to improve the prevention and control of infectious diseases in China and the world,and provide an example for the improvement of the public health system.In particular,China has long history to apply the concept of One Health in the national schistosomiasis control programmes and patriotic health campaigns,which were not only focusing on human health,but also emphasizing the sustainable development of animal health and ecological environment.At the same time,the application of tools such as system dynamics model,eDNA technology,One Health economic assessment and global One Health index(GOHI)in the field of disease control and environmental health provides technical support for the concept of One Health.Despite the challenges of practical application of these tools,the One Health concept will play a greater role in providing sustainable solutions for human-animal-environmental health by strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration,improving standardization protocols and promoting inter-national cooperation.

Aim To explore the mechanism of the syn-ergistic effect of the ferroptosis inducer erastin com-bined with shikonin in promoting ferroptosis in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts(HSFBs).Methods Hypertrophic scar tissues provided by the General Hos-pital of Ningxia Medical University were collected,and HSFBs were extracted.HSFBs were identified by HE staining and immunofluorescence.The inhibitory rates of Era and SHK on HSFBs at different concentrations were detected by CCK-8 assay,and the IC50 value was calculated.CompuSyn software was used to calculate the co-use index(CI).Control group,Erastin(Era)group,shikonin(SHK)group and Era+SHK group were set up,and the number and morphological chan-ges of cells were observed after 24 hours of interven-tion.The ability of cell migration and invasion was de-tected by scratch test and Transwell test.The changes of malondialdehyde(MDA),total iron ion and reactive oxygen species(ROS)were detected by corresponding biochemical kits.The expressions of collagen I,α-SMA and GOT1,SLC7A11,GPX4 and FTH1 were detected by Western blot.Results The IC50 value of Era and SHK of primary HSFBs was 2.22 μmol·L-1 and 3.94μmol·L-1 respectively,which was used as the single drug concentration for subsequent experiments.The CompuSyn software was employed to calculate the CI value when the two drugs were used in combination,and the concentrations corresponding to CI=0.39597(Era:1.2 μmol·L-1+SHK:1.5 μmol·L-1)were selected as subsequent combination concentrations(Because when CI was equal to 0.395 97,the concen-tration of each drug was lower than the concentration of single drug,and the inhibition rate of combined drug was greater than 50％).Compared with the monother-apy group,the number of HSFBs in the SHK+Era group was significantly reduced,cell membrane showed breakage and vesiculation,cell wrinkling became smal-ler,and cytoplasm was concentrated.The migration and invasion ability of HSFBs in the SHK+Era group were obviously weakened(P＜0.05),and the expres-sion of fibrosis-related proteins collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA was reduced(P＜0.05);the contents of MDA,total i-ron ions,and ROS in HSFBs of the SHK+Era group increased(P＜0.05),and the protein expression lev-els of SLC7A11,GOT1,GPX4,and FTH1 further de-creased(P＜0.05).Conclusions Erastin in combi-nation with shikonin can synergistically inhibit the pro-liferation,migration and fibrosis levels of HSFBs.The mechanism may be that erastin enhances the inhibition of shikotin on GOT1,increases the levels of cellular i-ron ions,ROS,and lipid peroxides,thereby promoting ferroptosis in HSFBs.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.
