Background/Aims:
Liver transplantation (LT) following total hepatectomy is a life-saving treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC recurrence after LT hinders the effectiveness of the procedure. The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operative risk stratification model based on a liquid biopsy.
Methods:
We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics study of 260 HCC patients from three centers, including clinical data, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma, as well as whole-exome, single-nucleus RNA, and spatial transcriptomics from matched tumor and non-tumor tissues.
Results:
We identified cfDNA-derived copy number alteration (CNA) signatures associated with post-transplant recurrence. By integrating cfDNA-derived CNA profiles with single-cell transcriptomic data, we traced recurrence-associated cfDNA to a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells within the primary tumor. These cells were embedded in a pro-metastatic microenvironment of specialized endothelial subtypes and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Notably, most recurrence-associated lesions were detectable in cfDNA prior to liver transplantation (LT). Building on these insights, we developed the ZJU Criteria based on CNA fragments and tumor markers, a pre-LT risk prediction tool that integrates conventional clinical factors with cfDNA-derived CNA signatures, and validated it using internal and independent external cohorts.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that post-transplant recurrence commonly originates from advanced subclones that emerge late during tumor evolution. The ZJU Criteria provides an accurate, non-invasive strategy that significantly improves pre-LT risk stratification and clinical decision-making for patients with HCC.

Chinese patent medicines are the core preparations for disease prevention and treatment in clinical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Their quality is the key to ensuring safe and effective medication and promoting the high-quality development of the TCM industry. At present, the quality evaluation of Chinese patent medicines faces prominent problems, such as inadequate control of quality consistency, over-reliance on single indicators, one-sided evaluation dimensions, unstable statistical methods, and poor implementability of research findings. These defects lead to insufficient scientificity of evaluation results, making it difficult to support the implementation of policies including centralized procurement, high quality, and favorable prices for Chinese patent medicines. According to the core requirements of quality evaluation for Chinese patent medicines, this study established a four-dimensional comprehensive evaluation system encompassing consistency index(CI), content index(MI), effect index(EI), and preparation index(PI). All evaluation indicators were normalized to achieve horizontal comparability. Meanwhile, an improved radar chart was introduced to realize the visualization of evaluation results. This method can systematically integrate four types of core quality attributes: Quality consistency, component content, biological activity, and preparation characteristics. It can effectively distinguish quality differences among products of the same specification from different manufacturers. The evaluation results are unique, stable, and not affected by the addition or reduction of samples, which takes scientificity, objectivity, and operability into account. This method can provide scientific and technical support for screening high-quality Chinese patent medicines and implementing policies of centralized procurement, high quality, and favorable prices. Moreover, it has important practical significance for improving the quality evaluation system of Chinese patent medicines and advancing the standard and modern development of TCM.

Objective:To investigate the selection of treatment methods for renal tumors in pilots as well as the clinical significance of robot-assisted surgery by summarizing the process of robot-assisted surgery in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma in a pilot.Methods:The diagnosis, robot-assisted surgery and aeromedical assessment of a pilot with renal cell carcinoma were reported, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 44-year-old male transporter pilot, who was diagnosed with a left renal mass in the middle-lower pole of the kidney during a routine abdominal CT scan. After detailed preoperative evaluation that ruled out the possibility of distant metastasis and other surgical contraindications, the patient underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in August 2022. The postoperative recovery went well, and renal function remained within normal limits at follow-ups. In March 2023, the pilot was concluded as qualified for flight after aeromedical assessment.Conclusions:Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy can significantly reduce surgical trauma, lower the risk of complications, and maximally preserve renal function. It is a good approach to renal tumors in pilots who can recover quickly.

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.

Aim To explore the action mechanism of isoquercitrin(IQ)in ameliorating anxiety based on network pharmacology,cellular transcriptomics,molecu-lar docking and animal experiments.Methods The common targets of anxiety disorders and IQ were ob-tained by using relevant databases.The protein-protein interaction network,the biological function and signa-ling pathway enrichment analysis were conducted by u-sing the common targets.Primary hippocampal neurons were cultured in vitro,and corticosterone was added to induce neurons to establish a corticosterone injury mod-el.IQ treatment was added to the culture system,and transcriptomics was used to screen for differentially ex-pressed genes and enrich for differentially expressed pathways.Subsequently,the results were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Possible targets and signaling pathways for IQ treatment on anxiety were speculated and screened u-sing network pharmacology,transcriptomics and molec-ular docking.The anxiety rat model was constructed,and the anxiety state of rats was evaluated after IQ in-tervention,and the protein expression level of hippo-campus was detected to verify the relevant mechanism.Results Network pharmacology,cellular transcrip-tome,and molecular docking analyses revealed that the key mechanism of IQ for anxiety may be related to the BDKRB2/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Animal exper-iments showed that IQ was effective in improving anxie-ty behaviour and learning memory ability in rats.IQ increased the movement distance and residence time in the central area of the open field,the time and number percentage of entries into the open arm in the elevated plus maze,and the spontaneous alternations score in the Y maze in rats,and significantly elevated protein expression of BDKRB2,PI3K,Akt and decreased pro-tein expression of NF-κB in the hippocampus.Conclu-sions Isoquercitrin can effectively treat anxiety,and the mechanism of action may be related to the regula-tion of BDKRB2/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in hip-pocampus.
