OBJECTIVE To compare the risk of pneumonitis and interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with different antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) in the treatment of breast cancer. METHODS CNKI, VIP, PubMed, Embase and other Chinese and English databases, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from the inception to June 15, 2025. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) about pneumonitis and ILD associated with ADC (T-DM1, T-DXd, SG, Dato-DXd, SHR-A1811,ARX788, and T-Duo) in the treatment of breast cancer were included. After literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment, a network meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 17.0 software, and the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) of all interventions were ranked. RESULTS A total of 19 RCTs involving 10 556 patients were included. The overall incidence of pneumonitis with ARX788 and T-DXd was significantly higher than that with T-DM1, T-DM1 plus TPC(T-DM1combined with pertuzumab or atezolizumab), TPC(treatment of primary care), and SG ( P <0.05), for grade 1-2 pneumonitis, ARX788 and T-DXd showed significantly higher incidence than T-DM1, T-DM1 plus TPC, and TPC ( P <0.05). For both indicators, ARX788 and T-Duo were ranked as the top two by SUCRA. For the incidence of grade ≥3 pneumonitis, T-DXd and T-DM1 were significantly higher than SG ( P <0.05), T-Duo and Dato-DXd were ranked as the top two by SUCRA. For overall incidence of ILD, ARX788 was significantly higher than T-DM1, SHR-A1811, TPC, and SG ( P <0.05), for the incidence of grade 1-2 ILD, ARX788 was significantly higher than T-DM1, SHR-A1811, and TPC ( P <0.05), for the incidence of grade ≥3 ILD, ARX788 was significantly higher than TPC ( P <0.05). For three indicators above, ARX788 and T-DXd combined with pertuzumab were ranked as the top two by SUCRA. CONCLUSIONS Compared with other ADCs, ARX788 and T-Duo are associated with a higher risk of pneumonitis and ILD in patients with breast cancer.

Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a rare type of congenital heart defect. Its incidence ranges from 0.005‰ to 0.025‰ among live-born fetuses. It is characterized by the displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve toward the apex of the right ventricle, along with the atrialization and thinning of the right ventricle. Based on the severity of these anatomical features, EA can be classified into four types. The degree of hemodynamic abnormalities mainly depends on factors such as the volume of the atrialized right ventricle, tricuspid regurgitation, and right ventricular function. The main clinical manifestations include: heart failure, cyanosis, and arrhythmia. Echocardiography is the first-choice examination method for confirming the diagnosis. In addition, cardiac magnetic resonance is recognized as the gold standard for evaluating tricuspid regurgitation index and right ventricular function, and it holds significant value in the preoperative diagnosis of EA, treatment decision-making, and postoperative follow-up. Surgical intervention is the primary treatment approach. Although multiple surgical methods exist, the current Cone reconstruction technique is the preferred surgical procedure for this disease. Based on evidence-based data from literature and expert opinions, this article provides a comprehensive summary and recommendations regarding the clinical classification, diagnostic criteria, surgical treatment strategies, management of complications, and prognosis evaluation of EA.

Phages, as obligate bacterial and archaeal parasites, constitute a virus group of paramount ecological significance due to their exceptional abundance and genetic diversity. These biological entities serve as critical regulators in Earth's ecosystems, driving biogeochemical cycles, energy fluxes, and ecosystem services across terrestrial and marine environments. Within soil microbiomes, phages function as microbial "dark matter," maintaining the soil-plant system balance through precise modulation of the microbial community structure and functional dynamics. Despite the growing research interests in soil phages in recent years, the proportion of such studies in environmental virology remains disproportionately low, which is primarily attributed to researchers' limited familiarity with the research methodologies for phage microecology, incomplete technical frameworks, and inherent challenges posed by soil environmental complexity. To address these challenges, this review synthesizes cutting-edge methodologies for soil phage investigation from four aspects: (1) tangential flow filtration (TFF)-based phage enrichment strategies; (2) integrated quantification approaches combining double-layer agar plating, epifluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry; (3) multi-omics analytical pipelines leveraging metagenomics and viromics datasets; and (4) computational frameworks merging machine learning algorithms with eco-evolutionary theory for deciphering phage-host interaction networks. Through comparative analysis of methodological principles, technical merits, and application scopes, we establish a comprehensive workflow for soil phage research. Future research in this field should prioritize: (1) construction of soil phage resource libraries, (2) exploration of RNA phages based on transcriptomes, (3) functional characterization of unknown genes, and (4) deep integration and interaction validation of multi-omics data. This systematic methodological synthesis provides critical technical references for addressing fundamental challenges in characterizing soil phages regarding the community structure, functional potential, and interaction mechanisms with hosts.

The consensus was authored by National Society of Congenital Heart Diseases. After employing the Delphi process and incorporating literature reviews and expert discussions, seven recommendations were ultimately formulated. The consensus provides a detailed elaboration on the pathoanatomy, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and surgical treatment approaches for aortic valve diseases in children. It emphasizes that the treatment of aortic valve diseases in children should take into account the needs of growth and development, and recommends surgical strategies for different age groups and types of lesions, including valve plasty, Ross procedure, valve replacement, and balloon dilation. Specifically, aortic valve plasty is recommended for neonates and infants, while surgical options for older children are more diversified. The consensus only discusses isolated aortic valve disease and does not cover cases complicated with other heart malformations

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Xinjia Congrong Tusizi decoction (XJCTD) on ovarian functions in the rat model of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and decipher the mechanism of regulating the tumor suppressor protein (p53)/nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway to attenuate granulosa cell ferroptosis. MethodForty-eight SPF-grade female SD rats were randomized into control, model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (1.1, 2.2, 4.4 g·kg-1) XJCTD, and Western medicine (coenzyme Q10, 0.002 7 g·kg-1) groups, with eight rats in each group. The rat model of POI was established by gavage of triptolide (TP), and after successful modeling, each group was administrated with the corresponding drugs by gavage for 14 d. The body weight and ovarian weight of each rat were weighed and the ovarian index was calculated. The morphology of the ovarian tissue was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the proportions of growing follicles and atretic follicles were calculated. The serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMM), estradiol (E2), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The DCFH-DA fluorescent probe was used to measure the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in granulosa cells. The content of cellular Ferrous ion (Fe2+), lipid peroxide (LPO), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) was detected by colorimetry. The expression of the tumor suppressor protein p53,Nrf2, solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) was determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed decreased ovarian weight, body weight, and ovarian index (P<0.01), reduced ovarian tissue volume and proportion of growing follicles (P<0.01), increased proportion of atretic follicles (P<0.01), lowered AMH and E2 levels and elevated FSH level in the serum (P<0.01), and elevated levels of Fe2+, ROS, LPO, and MDA (P<0.01) and lowered levels of GSH and SOD in granulosa cells (P<0.01). Moreover, the modeling up-regulated the expression of p53 (P<0.01) and down-regulated the expression of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 (P<0.05, P<0.01) in the ovarian tissue. Compared with the model group, XJCTD increased the body weight, ovarian weight, and ovarian index (P<0.01), alleviated the pathological changes in the ovarian tissue, increased the proportion of growing follicles (P<0.01), decreased the proportion of atretic follicles (P<0.01), and reduced the content of ROS in granulosa cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). In addition, medium- and high-dose XJCTD lowered the FSH level (P<0.01) and raised E2 and AMH levels (P<0.01) in the serum, reduced the Fe2+ content (P<0.05, P<0.01), and increased the SOD content (P<0.01) in granulosa cells. High-dose XJCTD reduced the LPO and MDA content (P<0.01) and increased the SOD content (P<0.01) in the granulosa cells, down-regulated the expression of p53 (P<0.05), and up-regulated the expression of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the ovarian tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionXJCTD may protect the ovarian function in the rat model of POI by regulating the p53/Nrf2 signaling pathway to attenuate the ferroptosis of ovarian granulosa cells.
