In December 2025， the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases （AASLD） and the American Society of Transplantation （AST） jointly issued an updated guideline on the evaluation of adult liver transplant candidates. The guideline is organized into four domains， i.e.， referral for liver transplantation， candidate evaluation， contraindications to liver transplantation， and special considerations （e.g.， living donor liver transplantation）， in order to provide a standardized framework for clinical assessment. This new guideline updates the 2013 edition based on the latest evidence-based medical evidence and incorporates discussions on emerging indications for liver transplantation， including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal liver metastases. This guideline emphasizes that candidate assessment must be individualized， and the assessment process must be transparent and consistent. This article gives an excerpt of the key recommendations in this guideline for readers’ reference.

Objective To study the distribution characteristics of TCM constitutions in the middle-aged and elderly Mongolian population undergoing physical examinations in Inner Mongolia;To analyze the correlation with related risk factors.Methods Health information and related risk factors(including BMI index,lifestyle habits,dietary habits and exercise status)of middle-aged and elderly Mongolian people who visited the physical examination departments of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Tongliao City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from March 2024 to April 2024 were collected.A total of 213 Mongolian people were surveyed,including 65 people who have lived in Hohhot for more than 2 years and 148 people who have lived in Tongliao for more than 2 years.Through investigation,research and analysis,the distribution characteristics of TCM constitutions in the population and its correlation with related risk factors were observed.Results Constitution distribution:101 people(47.41%)had a moderate constitution.Among the biased constitutions,the phlegm dampness constitution had the highest number of people(64 people,30.05%),with the blood deficiency constitution having the lowest number of people(2 people,0.94%).In the investigation of related risk factors,there was a significant correlation(P<0.01)between phlegm dampness and dietary habits and reduced exercise volume.Moreover,individuals with this constitution tend to have good sleep,reduced physical activity,faster eating and a diet primarily consisting of high-calorie foods(P<0.05).Conclusion The TCM constitution of the Mongolian population in Inner Mongolia is mostly composed of moderate constitution,while the biased constitution is mostly composed of phlegm dampness constitution,which is mainly related to dietary habits and reduced exercise volume.

Goose astrovirus(GAstV)has become one of the most important pathogens endangering the goose farming industry in China.To discover the genomic information of prevalent strains in China in 2022 and reveal their biological characteristics,the whole genomes of 9 strains of GAstV-1 and 12 strains of GAstV-2 isolated from parts of China in 2022 were sequenced by the Chromo-some Walking and analyzed by bioinformatics software and websites.The analysis results of gene structure showed that the sizes of the coding genes ranged from 6 977 to 7 215 bp.The open read-ing frame 1(ORF1)of all strains contained the characteristic motifs of serine protease,nuclear lo-calization signal(NLS)and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdRp).The ribosomal frameshift signals(RFS)were all in the form of stem-loop structures.However,the numbers of stem and loop nucleotides in GAstV-1 were"14+11"configuration,while those in GAstV-2 were"12+14"configuration,and the loop of GAstV-2 was in the"8+6"double-loop configuration.The results of homological analysis for ORF1b showed that the homology of the GAstV-1 isolats compared with the representative strains of avian astrovirus types 1,2,and 3(AAstV-1,AAstV-2,AAstV-3)ranged from 7％to 64％,and the homology of the GAstV-2 isolates ranged from 8％to 68％.The average genetic distances of ORF2 were 0.9,1.2,and 0.9 respectively compared with the represent-ative strains of AAstV-1,AAstV-2 and AAstV-3.While for the GAstV-2 isolates,the highest ho-mologies were 68％and 56％,the lowest homologies were 8％and 36％respectively.And the aver-age genetic distances of ORF2 were 1.0,1.2,and 0.5 respectively.B-cell-conformational epitopes screening results of ORF2 showed that,there were four common epitopes in the GAstV Group 1 i-solates,namely PRE,LALQSQSVNTFA,AAG and YQQVTSDQSI except for N-145,N-287 and N-314 in the two strains G1FJ267 and G1JS277.And there were seven common conformational epitopes in the GAstV-2 isolates,namely NQE,RAN,GPE,PRQ,TRAQ,SNS,and AVPPNTPL except for N-83,N-136,N-331 and N-351 in the strain G2FJ283-3B.The above results indicated that GAstV maybe belong to a new type of AAstV because of the difference between the clinical i-solates and the known strains of AAstV.And there was pathogenic diversity among the isolates.All the isolates of GAstV-1 and GAstV-2 belong to two different serotypes,and the possible serologi-cal subtypes among the isolates of GAstV-1 or GAstV-2 are remained to be further identified by serological tests.

In order to investigate the related pathogens and reveal the etiological characteristics of gout in goslings,191 typical clinical cases from partial regions of China were examined by RT-PCR/PCR detection of viral nucleic acids in domestic poultry and pathological analysis.The autop-sy results show that the clinical cases could be classified into three types based on the severity of urate deposition:severe,moderate,and mild,namely systemic urate deposition,local urate deposi-tion mainly in the liver and kidneys,and only a small amount of fine-grained urate deposition in the liver,gallbladder,or glandular stomach.The results of RT-PCR/PCR detection showed that the to-tal positive rates were as follows:GAstV Group2 63.9％,GAstV Group1 50.3％,AAstV-2 38.7％,novel Muscovy duck parvovirus(NPV)17.8％,GPV 16.2％,GoCV 12.6％,MDPV 7.9％,MDRV 8.4％,DPV 0.5％,GPMV and NDV 0.5％,the AstV-1、ARV、TMUV、NDV、FAdV、GHPyV were zero.Among all the postive samples,the rates of single positive,double positive,and multiple posi-tive were 18.3％,27.2％,and 44.0％,respectively.The rate of single positive samples containing AAstV was only 12.0％,the double or multiple positive samples containing GAstV Group 1/2 was 60.7％,and the rate of samples without GAstV Group 1/2 was 10.5％.The results also showed that 20(10.5％)samples were negative for 16 types of viruses.The AAstV particles isolated from single positive samples appear spherical shape,non-enveloped and 20-80 nm minsize.Two types of virus particles which with spherical shape and diameters of 40-100 and 20-40 nm can be isolated from the negative samples.The virus inoculation results show that the goose embryos can be led to death by clinical GAstV isolates,which with classic histopathological characteristics.Although the GAstV isolates cannot led to death and obvious typical histopathological change in goslings,the vi-ral nucleic acids can be detected in heart,liver,spleen,kidney,intestine and cloacal anal swabs.The above results indicated that there were multiple pathogens co-infection dominated by AAstv in Gosling gout in China,including cross species infections of multiple AAstVs,parvovirus,ARV and suspec-ted novel viruses.Moreover,the GAstV maybe not the only pathogen causing gout in goslings.

The result of liver transplantation (LT) for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is constrained by the high rates of tumor recurrence and metastasis. To remove this bottleneck, precise patient selection is crucial for individuals with HCC, and the goal of down-staging therapy is to transform patients exceeding transplantation criteria into suitable candidates. The difficulty in treating tumor recurrence and metastasis post-transplantation calls for more breakthroughs. Immunotherapy, as an emerging treatment modality, requires further exploration to enhance its safety and efficacy. The immunosuppression strategy is also a key factor in reducing tumor recurrence, requiring precise assessment and balanced control.
