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.

Patients with lung cancer experience a heavy symptom burden during the perioperative period, which seriously affects their recovery and quality of life. Traditional symptom management models rely mainly on scheduled ward rounds during hospitalization and outpatient follow-up after discharge. However, they have limitations such as delayed symptom recognition, lack of post-discharge monitoring, and non-quantitative symptom assessment, which often lead to delayed interventions and low patient satisfaction. In recent years, the symptom management model based on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) has been increasingly valued in clinical practice. Existing high-level evidence from both domestic and international studies indicates that, through proactive monitoring, real-time alerts, and remote interventions, this model enables dynamic and continuous symptom management and helps improve patient recovery and healthcare experience. As a supplement to routine medical care, the ePRO-based symptom management model aims to enhance the quality of care rather than replace existing medical processes. To promote the standardized application of this model in perioperative lung cancer care, this consensus integrates domestic and international evidence. After multiple rounds of voting by more than 50 experts, it formulates 12 consensus statements covering the three core components, symptom monitoring, alerting, and intervention, to provide scientific and practical recommendations for clinical practice.

With the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening and the extensive application of high-resolution CT, the detection rate of sub-centimeter lung nodules has significantly increased. How to scientifically manage these nodules while avoiding overtreatment and diagnostic delays has become an important clinical issue. Among them, lung nodules with a consolidation tumor ratio less than 0.25, dominated by ground-glass shadows, are particularly worthy of attention. The therapeutic challenge for this group is how to achieve precise and complete resection of nodules during surgery while maximizing the preservation of the patient's lung function. The "watershed topography map" is a new technology based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. This method uses Dicom data from conventional dose CT scans, combined with microscopic (22-24 levels) capillary network anatomical watershed features, to generate high-precision simulated natural segmentation planes of lung sub-segments through specific textures and forms. This technology forms fluorescent watershed boundaries on the lung surface, which highly fit the actual lung anatomical structure. By analyzing the adjacent relationship between the nodule and the watershed boundary, real-time, visually accurate positioning of the nodule can be achieved. This innovative technology provides a new solution for the intraoperative positioning and resection of lung nodules. This consensus was led by four major domestic societies, jointly with expert teams in related fields, oriented to clinical practical needs, referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, and finally formed after multiple rounds of consultation, discussion, and voting. The main content covers the theoretical basis of the "watershed topography map" technology, indications, operation procedures, surgical planning details, and postoperative evaluation standards, aiming to provide scientific guidance and exploration directions for clinical peers who are currently or plan to carry out lung nodule resection using the fluorescent microscope watershed analysis method.

ObjectiveTo analyze the evolutionary characteristics and genetic variations of the HA (hemagglutinin) and NA (neuraminidase) genes of influenza A(H1N1) viruses in Shanghai during 2024, to investigate their transmission patterns, and to evaluate their potential impact on vaccine effectiveness. MethodsFrom January to October 2024, throat swab specimens were collected from influenza like illness (ILI) patients at 4 hospitals in Shanghai. Real-time fluorescence ploymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for virus detection and isolation of H1N1 influenza viruses. Forty influenza A(H1N1) virus strains were sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, followed by phylogenetic analyses, genetic distance analysis, and amino acid variation analyses of HA and NA genes. ResultsPhylogenetic tree of the HA and NA genes revealed that the 40 influenza A(H1N1) virus strains circulating in Shanghai in 2024 exhibited no significant geographic clustering, with a broad origin of strains and complex transmission chains. Genetic distance analyses demonstrated that the average intra-group genetic distances of HA and NA genes among the Shanghai strains were 0.005 1±0.000 6 and 0.004 6±0.000 6, respectively, which were comparable to or higher than those observed in global surveillance strains. Both HA and NA genes displayed frequent mutations. Compared to the 2023‒2024 and 2024‒2025 Northern Hemisphere A(H1N1) vaccine strains (WHO-recommended), the HA proteins of 40 Shanghai strains exhibited amino acid substitutions at positions 120, 137, 142, 169, 216, 223, 260, 277, 356 and 451, with critical mutations at positions 137 and 142 located within the Ca2 antigenic determinant. Furthermore, mutations in the NA protein were observed at positions 13, 50, 200, 257, 264, 339 and 382. ConclusionThe genetic background of the 2024 Shanghai influenza A(H1N1) virus strains is complex and diverse, and antigenic variation may affect vaccine effectiveness. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance genomic surveillance of influenza viruses, evaluate vaccine suitability, and implement more targeted prevention and control strategies against imported influenza viruses.

Objective To investigate the influence of auricular acupressure combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)on swallowing function and neurological function in stroke pa-tients.Methods A total of 120 patients with dysphagia after stroke admitted to the hospital from January 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the research objects and divided into the control group,the auricular acu-pressure group,the rTMS group and the combined group according to the random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The control group received routine care,the auricular acupressure group received auric-ular acupressure treatment on the basis of the control group,while the rTMS group received rTMS treatment,and the combined group received both auricular acupressure and rTMS treatment.All interventions lasted 4 weeks.Swallowing function was assessed before and after treatment using Functional Oral Intake Scale(FOIS),modified Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability(MASA),and Water Swallow Test.Swallowing-related quality of life was evaluated before and after treatment by the Swallowing Quality of Life(SWAL-QOL)questionnaire.Neurological impairment was assessed before and after treatment using National Institu-tes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS).Results After treatment,FOIS and MASA scores in the four groups were higher than those before treatment,with the auricular acupressure group and the rTMS group showing higher scores than the control group,and the combination group significantly higher than the other three groups(P<0.05).The overall effectiveness rate for swallowing function in the combination group was 93.33%,significantly higher than 60.00%in the control group,63.33%in the auricular acupressure group,and 73.33%in the rTMS group(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference among the other three groups(P>0.05).After treatment,SWAL-QOL scores in the four groups were higher than that before treat-ment,with the auricular acupressure group and the rTMS group showing higher scores than the control group,and the combination group significantly higher than the other three groups(P<0.05).After treat-ment,NIHSS scores in the four groups were lower than that before treatment,and the combination group had significantly lower scores compared to the other three groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Auricular acupressure combined with rTMS could improve swallowing function and quality of life,and promote neurological function recovery in stroke patients.

Objective To analyze the diversity and composition of gut microbiota in individuals with circadian rhythm disruption and their correlation with cognition.Methods Night shift workers and regular shift workers were subjected from our hospital during August 2022 and October 2024.The participants with circadian rhythm disorders were assigned into an experimental group(n=24),and those with normal circadian rhythms were into a control group(n=24).Their height,weight,age,gender,body mass index(BMI)and fresh fecal samples were collected,and Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)and Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)were used to evaluate their mental status.Metagenomics,Alpha and Beta diversity analyses,Linear Discriminant Analysis Effect Size(LEfSe),and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analysis were employed to investigate the diversity and function characteristics of gut microbiota in the participants.Results There were no statistical differences between the 2 groups in baseline data,such as height,weight,gender,age,and BMI(P>0.05).Alpha diversity analysis indicated that no statistical differences were observed in the ACE,Chao1,Shannon,or Simpson indices between the 2 groups,while beta diversity analysis revealed significant differences(P<0.01),suggesting different structure of gut microbiota between them.In the experimental group,the abundance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Agathobacter rectalis was decreased,while that of Escherichia coli and Phocaeicola vulgaratus was increased,with significant differences when compared with the control group(P<0.05).Additionally,KEGG functional analysis showed that the experimental group had obviously higher expression levels in Th17 cell differentiation and the IL-17 signaling pathway than the control group(P<0.05).Agathobacter rectalis and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii were positively correlated with MoCA score and MMSE score(P<0.05,P<0.01).Agathobacter rectalis was negatively correlated with the IL-17 signaling pathway and Th17 cell differentiation.Conclusion Individuals with circadian rhythm disorders have significant changes in the structure and function of gut microbiota when compared to those with normal circadian rhythms.Agathobacter rectalis may be involved in the regulation of the IL-17 signaling pathway and differentiation of Th17 cells,thereby possibly impacting the increases of cognitive score related to circadian rhythm disorders.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography(18F-FDG PET/CT)and tumor markers and the prognosis of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC)treated with surgery combined with iodine-131,and to construct a nomogram prediction model.Methods:The clinical data of 134 patients with DTC who underwent surgery combined with iodine-131 treatment in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the prognosis after 1 year of treatment,they were divided into a good prognosis group(n=106)and a poor prognosis group(n=28).The general data,18F-FDG PET/CT related parameters[maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax),metabolic volume(MTV),total lesion gly-colysis(TLG)]and serum tumor markers[thyroglobulin(Tg),thyroglobulin antibody(TgAb)]levels were compared between the two groups.Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the related parameters and the tumor marker levels.Logistic multivariate analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of DTC prognosis.Re-ceiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of related parameters combined with tumor markers on poor prognosis.Anomogram prediction model for poor prognosis was constructed and the predic-tive efficacy of the model was evaluated.Results:The proportion of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ,the proportion of total resection and the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),SUVmax,MTV,TLG,Tg and TgAb in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Pearson correlation co-efficient showed that SUVmax,MTV,TLG and Tg,TgAb levels were positively correlated with tumor markers(P<0.05).Lo-gistic analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding variables,SUVmax,MTV,TLG,Tg and TgAb were independent influencing factors for the poor prognosis of DTC(P<0.05).ROC analysis showed that the combination of SUVmax,MTV,TLG,Tg and TgAb was significantly better than each parameter alone in predicting poor prognosis(P<0.05).The nomo-gram prediction model was constructed.ROC evaluation showed that the model had good prediction performance.K-fold cross validation showed that the model had stable performance and good generalization ability.Conclusion:The 18F-FDG PET/CT related parameters SUVmax,MTV,TLG and tumor markers Tg and TgAb are all independent factors affecting the poor prognosis of DTC patients treated with surgery combined with iodine-131.The prognostic nomogram prediction model based on the above factors has good predictive efficacy and can be used to guide clinical decision-making.

Background and Aims:Abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA)is a common arterial dilation disease in vascular surgery,with aneurysm rupture being its most serious complication,often leading to fatal hemorrhage and posing a severe threat to patients'lives.Endovascular aneurysm repair(EVAR),due to its minimally invasive nature,safety,and rapid recovery,has become the preferred treatment for AAA.However,endoleak,a complication unique to EVAR,remains a major clinical challenge.Persistent endoleak can lead to sustained high pressure within the aneurysm sac,increasing the risk of continued expansion and rupture.It is one of the main causes of the high reintervention rate following EVAR.In particular,the treatment strategy for type Ⅱ endoleaks remains controversial.This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical value of selective sac embolization via the iliac approach combined with standard EVAR in managing intraoperative immediate endoleaks.Methods:The clinical data of AAA patients with a risk of endoleak who underwent standard EVAR at the First Hospital of China Medical University between March 2023 and September 2024 were retrospectively collected.Patients were divided into an intervention group(n=42)and a non-intervention group(n=32)based on whether selective sac embolization via the iliac approach was performed during operation.General clinical data,preoperative anatomical characteristics of the AAA,surgical details,and postoperative follow-up results were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age,sex,anatomical features,rupture rate,or off-label use(all P>0.05).The technical success rate during surgery was 100%in both groups.One patient in the intervention group experienced transient sigmoid colon ischemia after operation,which resolved with conservative treatment.The mean follow-up period was(6.49±4.68)months.The proportions of aneurysm sac shrinkage,stability,and enlargement in the intervention group were 40.5%,57.1%,and 2.4%,respectively,compared to 59.4%,40.6%,and 0.0%in the non-intervention group,with no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).The incidence of endoleak during follow-up was also comparable between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:For intraoperative endoleaks during standard EVAR,selective sac embolization via the iliac approach is a technically simple and safe method that provides short-term outcomes comparable to those in patients without intraoperative endoleaks.Its long-term efficacy warrants further investigation through extended follow-up.

Objective By simulating the etiology of abnormal uterine bleeding-ovulatory dysfunction(AUB-O)and establishing a rat model of abnormal uterine bleeding(AUB),this study aims to provide an experimental platform for investigating pathological mechanisms and developing therapeutic drugs for AUB.Methods After acclimation,24 adult(10-week-old)female SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group(6 rats)and a model group(18 rats).The normal control group was housed in a barrier environment,while the model group underwent bilateral ovariectomy via dorsal approach in the same environment and rested for one week before starting to receive modeling drugs.In the model group,from Days 1 to 3 of modeling,each rat received a daily subcutaneous injection of 0.5 mg estradiol into the dorsal region.From Days 4 to 7,a daily subcutaneous injection of 5.0 mg progesterone was administered.On Day 6,rats received bilateral injections of 0.5 mL soybean oil per uterine cavity(total 1.0 mL)via the same dorsal surgical incision.On Day 8,mifepristone(10 mg/kg)was administered via oral gavage.The estrous cycle stage and its dynamic changes were continuously monitored during modeling.Uterine bleeding was recorded during the 48-hour observation period post-modeling.Serum and uterine tissue samples were collected from the model group at 0,12,24,36,and 48 h after mifepristone administration,while the normal control group was sampled at 36 h.The samples were subjected to HE staining,serum sex hormone ELISA,immunohistochemistry,TUNEL apoptosis staining,Western blotting,transcriptome sequencing,and bioinformatics analysis for comprehensive evaluation of the AUB rat model.Results The AUB rats exhibited uterine bleeding,endometrial detachment and injury,incomplete uterine restoration,inflammatory cell infiltration in the endometrium,enhanced tissue apoptosis,and structural damage of the stroma,glands,and vasculature.Compared with the normal control group,the levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),estradiol,and luteinizing hormone(LH)were significantly increased in the AUB rats(P＜0.05).The vascular density of the endometrium was significantly reduced(P＜0.05).The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)was qualitatively observed to be markedly enhanced at the site of endometrial detachment but significantly decreased around the stromal blood vessels(P＜0.01).Matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)expression was qualitatively observed to be strongly upregulated at the site of endometrial injury but significantly reduced in the non-detached stroma and glands(P＜0.01).Endometrial stromal cell apoptosis was significantly enhanced(P＜0.01).The expression levels of fibroblast growth factor 2(FGF2)and endothelin-1(ET-1)in uterine tissues were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).After comparing the transcriptome sequencing results of uterine tissues between AUB and normal rats,a total of 4 723 differentially expressed genes were identified,including 2 191 up-regulated genes and 2 532 down-regulated genes.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that these differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in pathways related to inflammation,immune apoptosis,cell signal transduction,proliferation and differentiation,and muscle contraction,among others.Conclusion An AUB rat model can be successfully established using a sequential administration protocol of estrogen,progesterone,and mifepristone to simulate the etiology of AUB-O.In this model,endometrial injury is associated with inflammation and apoptosis,with pathological manifestations influenced by abnormal vasoconstriction and impaired endometrial regeneration.This rat model closely recapitulates pathological characteristics of non-structural AUB observed in clinical practice,making it a validated experimental platform for exploring the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic interventions of non-structural AUB.

In order to delve into the molecular mechanism underlying the increased pathogenicity of the recombinant Muscovy duck parvovirus(rMDPV)towards Muscovy ducklings,two sub-genom-ic fragments of the rMDPV strain ZW were cloned into the plasmid pBluescript Ⅱ(SK)to gener-ate the recombinant plasmid pZW.A single nucleotide mutation was engineered in the VP3 gene of pZW to discriminate from the parental strain ZW.pZW plasmid-lipid complex was transfected into the chorioallantoic membrane of 11-day-old embryonated Muscovy duck embryos,resulting in res-cue of infectious virus,rZW,carrying the genetic marker.The rescued virus was passaged in 12-day-old embryonated Muscovy duck embryos and exhibited the similar medium embryo lethal dose(ELD50)value and growth curve compared to the parental strain ZW.Both rZW and strain ZW led to 100％mortality in the infection tests performed with 3-day-old Muscovy duckling.Postmortem necropsy revealed a characteristic intestine embolism formed in the rZW-infected ducklings.Taken together,the generation of the infectious clone pZW lays a solid foundation for deciphering the pathogenesis of rMDPV.
