Lung transplantation is currently the only effective treatment for end-stage lung disease. However, the field of lung transplantation still faces numerous challenges, including donor shortage, primary graft dysfunction, rejection, infection and others. In 2025, scholars worldwide have made remarkable progress in clinical research on lung transplantation. This article systematically reviews the cutting-edge developments in clinical research on lung transplantation in 2025, focusing on the application of novel evaluation tools in donor lung screening, optimization of lung perfusion techniques, exploration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, as well as mechanistic research and intervention strategies for primary graft dysfunction, acute kidney injury and chronic lung allograft dysfunction. Meanwhile, hot topics such as the management of special populations, prevention and control of postoperative infections, and improvement of quality of life are summarized. This review aims to conclude the important annual research findings and provide references for the clinical practice and research development of lung transplantation in China.

Objective To investigate the spatial distribution patterns and environmental determinants of Lagotis brachystachya Maxim.,a keystone species in Tibetan medicine("Zhi Da Sa Zeng"),under contemporary climatic conditions in China;To provide references for the sustainable utilization of its resources and the ecological protection of alpine grassland areas.Methods Based on the maximum entropy model,the selected species distribution data and environmental factors were added to MaxEnt 4.3.1 software for modeling.The geographical detector was applied to quantify the factors influencing the spatial differentiation of the suitable areas,employing both factor detection and interaction detection functionalities.Additionally,an overlay analysis with land cover types was conducted to quantify the distribution characteristics of grassland within the potential suitable areas for Lagotis brachystachya Maxim..Results Under the current climatic conditions,dominant environmental drivers included elevation,monthly average temperature difference between day and night,average precipitation in June,wind speed in September,solar radiation in August,average precipitation in May,average precipitation in October,among which elevation demonstrated the strongest explanatory power(q=0.37)in habitat suitability analysis.The model prediction results showed that the potential suitable area for Lagotis brachystachya Maxim.was 5.31×105 km2.Considering the type of surface coverage,the main suitable habitat for Lagotis brachystachya Maxim.was grassland,with an area of 4.34×105 km2.The high suitable grassland of areas were mainly distributed in Qinghai Province(Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture),Sichuan Province(Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,Aba Qiang Autonomous Prefecture),Xizang Autonomous Region(Naqu City,Shigatse City,Changdu City),and Gansu Province(Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture).Conclusion This study can provide references for the protection of wild resources and the selection of domestication and cultivation areas for Lagotis brachystachya Maxim..

Nano liquid chromatography-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry(LC-HRMS/MS)is widely used for body fluid peptidome analysis,yet the impact of replicate analyses remains overlooked.Using salivary peptidome,in this work,10 replicate analyses of the same sample were conducted.It was found that although m/z and molecular weight ranges were consistent across replicates,single runs identified only 348-576 unique peptides from 32-39 degraded proteins.Merging all replicates revealed 1237 peptides from 77 proteins,a 2.5 folds increase in peptides and 2 folds increase in proteins.Instrument stability was confirmed via intensity/retention time of 12 peptides.Merged peptides primarily derived from high-abundance proteins(e.g.,Statherin,PRP1/2).Analysis of 20 peptides showed that the some peptides were detected in single analysis but confidence varying(19%-99%),low-confidence peptides(<95%)exceeded 95%after replicate.signal intensity alone didn't determine confidence and peptides spanning the sequence region between the longest and the shortest detected fragments could be identified.The above findings suggested that single-run LC-MS peptidomics analysis carried inherent false negatives and uncertainties.However,by integrating the results of a single analysis with the mechanism of enzymatic hydrolysis for endogenous peptides,it was possible to make reasonable inferences and extrapolations regarding peptides derived from highly abundant degraded proteins.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality based on the 10-year population-based multicenter prospective study. METHODS: A general population-based multicenter prospective study was conducted at four sites in rural China between 2013 and 2023. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to assess the association between BMI and mortality. Stratified analyses were performed based on the individual characteristics of the participants. RESULTS: Overall, 19,107 participants with a sum of 163,095 person-years were included and 1,910 participants died. The underweight (< 18.5 kg/m ²) presented an increase in all-cause mortality (adjusted hazards ratio [ aHR] = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.66-2.41), while overweight (≥ 24.0 to < 28.0 kg/m ²) and obesity (≥ 28.0 kg/m ²) presented a decrease with an aHR of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.52-0.73) and 0.51 (95% CI: 0.37-0.70), respectively. Overweight ( aHR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.67-0.86) and mild obesity ( aHR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59-0.87) had a positive impact on mortality in people older than 60 years. All-cause mortality decreased rapidly until reaching a BMI of 25.7 kg/m ² ( aHR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98) and increased slightly above that value, indicating a U-shaped association. The beneficial impact of being overweight on mortality was robust in most subgroups and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION This study provides additional evidence that overweight and mild obesity may be inversely related to the risk of death in individuals older than 60 years. Therefore, it is essential to consider age differences when formulating health and weight management strategies.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP

Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals，of which 10 098（87.9%）were Enterobacterales and 1 394（12.1%）were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（50.0%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（26.1%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（5.1%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（5.0%）and Enterobacter cloacae complex（4.1%）. The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%（2 685/5 741），18.3%（549/2 999）and 44.0%（77/175），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（76/5 741）and 15.0%（450/2 999）；32.9%（25/76）and 78.0%（351/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. 94.7%（72/76）and 90.2%（406/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore，57.9%（44/76）and 79.1%（356/450）were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 64.6%（370/573），while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline，eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 17.0%（99/581）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA and CRAB complex（ χ2=10.6，28.6，10.8 and 19.3， P<0.05）. The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli， CREC，CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=12.5，9.8，12.7 and 57.8，all P<0.01）. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend，CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level，and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

Objective:To investigate the synergistic effect and its mechanism of ginsenoside-Rg5 in combination with imatinib in inhibiting proliferation of chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells.Methods:K562 cells were treated with ginsenoside-Rg5 and imatinib.Cell survival was detected by CCK-8 assay,and IC50 were calculated separately for each drug.Based on the value of IC50 of ginsenoside-Rg5 and imatinib,an appropriate concentration gradient was selected for the combination.The synergistic effect of the two drug was analyzed using the online software synergy finder.The effects of single or combination therapy on apoptosis rate and the cell cycle distribution of K562 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.Western blot was used to detect the expression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway related proteins and apoptosis related proteins in K562 cells after single or combination therapy.Results:Ginsenoside-Rg5 and imatinib were able to inhibit the proliferative activity of K562 cells in a dose-dependent manner(r=-0.991,r=-0.942).The synergy score ZIP＞10 was measured by Synergy Finder online software,indicating that ginsenoside-Rg5 and imatinib act synergistically on K562 cells.The apoptotic rates of K562 cells after single treatments with ginsenoside-Rg5 and imatinib were 11.96％and 8.13％,respectively,while the rate increased to 21.35％with the combination of two drugs,the apoptosis rate in the combination group was higher than that in the single-drug group(P＜0.05).The proportion of K562 cells in the G0/G1 phase was significantly increased with the combined treatment of two drugs(P＜0.05).The protein expression levels of p-PI3K,p-AKT,p-mTOR in K562 cells treated with the combination were significantly decreased,with noticeable downregulation of BCL-2 and upregulation of BAX,leading to a decreased Bcl-2/BAX ratio,while no significant changes were observed in the non-phosphorylated forms of PI3K,AKT,and mTOR proteins.Conclusion:The combination of ginsenoside-Rg5 and imatinib can inhibit the proliferation of CML cells and induce apoptosis,and the mechanism may act through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways.

Objective:To compare and analyze the changes of aggregation rate and routine parameters of platelets stored in temperature cycle,cold storage at 4 ℃ and oscillating storage at 22 ℃,so as to provide more experimental data for platelet preservation methods.Methods:Blood samples were collected at 5 time points on the 1st,2nd,3rd,4th and 6th day after platelet cycling preservation at temperature,cold storage at 4 ℃,and oscillating storage at 22 ℃.Platelet maximum aggregation rate(MAR)and routine parameters including platelet count(PLT),mean platelet volume(MPV),platelet distribution width(PDW)and platelet-larger cell ratio(P-LCR)were detected.Results:The platelet MAR of three groups showed a significant decrease trend with the preservation time,the fastest decrease was in the 22 ℃ group,the slowest was in the 4 ℃ group,and the temperature cycle group was between the two groups.On the 3rd day of preservation,the platelet MAR in 4 ℃ group was still in the normal range(MAR＞60％),while in temperature cycle group was about 50％,and in 22 ℃ group was the lowest.On the 4th day of preservation,platelet MAR in all the three groups was lower than 50％,and that in temperature cycle group was significantly lower than in 4 ℃ group but higher than in 22 ℃ group(both P＜0.05).On the 6th day of preservation,platelet MAR in the temperature cycle group was significantly lower than that in the 4 ℃ group(P＜0.05),but there was no statistically significant difference compared to 22 ℃ group(P＞0.05).PLT values in the three groups were all significantly decreased with the preservation time extension,and were significantly lower than those in the early stage of preservation within 6 days(all P＜0.05).PDW in temperature cycle group had no significant change within 6 days of preservation,but MPV and P-LCR were significantly increased.MPV,PDW and P-LCR all decreased significantly in 4 ℃ group within 6 days of preservation but increased in 22 ℃ group.Under the same storage days,PLT value of temperature cycle group had no significant difference with that of 4 ℃ group and 22 ℃ group,while MPV,PDW and P-LCR values were significantly higher than 4 ℃ group but lower than 22 ℃ group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion:The aggregation function and routine parameters changes of temperature circulating preserved platelets are between 4 and 22 ℃.
