Objective To investigate the impact of intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion volume on the postoperative oxygenation index in lung transplant recipients. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of patients who underwent lung transplantation at Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from 2021 to 2023. Patients were divided into a non-severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) group and a severe PGD group based on whether their postoperative oxygenation index was>200 mm Hg at 0, 24, and 48 h. General patient data and intraoperative RBC transfusion volumes were compared between the two groups. A binary logistic regression model was constructed to explore the effect size (OR and its 95%CI) of RBC transfusion volume on postoperative oxygenation status at different time points (0, 24, and 48 h). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated to evaluate the model's diagnostic performance. Results A total of 351 patients were included (260 males, 91 females), with ages ranging from 20 to 77 years. The OR for the effect of intraoperative RBC transfusion on poor oxygenation was 1.486 (95%CI 0.982 to 2.248, P=0.061) at 0 h postoperatively, 3.111 (95%CI 1.793 to 5.399, P<0.001) at 24 h, and 1.583 (95%CI 1.026 to 2.442, P=0.038) at 48 h. This indicated that as time progressed, the postoperative oxygenation status of lung transplant recipients was affected by the intraoperative transfusion volume. Furthermore, an RBC transfusion volume>975 mLhad a significant impact on patient oxygenation at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. Conclusion The volume of intraoperative RBC transfusion has a significant impact on the oxygenation status at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. Intraoperative RBC transfusion volume is associated with the occurrence of severe PGD after lung transplantation. Controlling the volume of RBC transfusion during lung transplantation may help reduce the incidence of severe PGD.

ObjectiveAge-related macular degeneration （AMD） is one of the leading causes of low vision and blindness in people over 50 years old， and dry AMD （dAMD） is one type for which there is currently no clear treatment. On the basis of the diagnosis and clinical characteristics of dAMD in traditional Chinese and Western medicine， this paper evaluated the fitting degrees of existing animal models of dAMD with clinical characteristics according to the evaluation methods of animal models， and put forward suggestions and prospects. MethodsLiterature on animal models of dAMD was searched against database， and the characteristics of the models were assigned according to the diagnosis criteria of diseases and syndromes of traditional Chinese and Western medicine， and the fitting degrees of the models with clinical characteristics were analyzed and evaluated. ResultsAt present， the animal models of dAMD are mainly established targeting complement factors， chemokines， oxidative damage， lipid/glucose metabolism， and natural strains. Most of the models can simulate the major pathological changes of dAMD， showing the fitting degree of 25%-50% with clinical characteristics in Western medicine. However， the evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes， especially the evaluation of secondary syndromes， is missing， and the models present low fitting degrees with the clinical characteristics in TCM. ConclusionExisting animal models of dAMD are mostly established under the guidance of Western diagnostic standards， which reproduce the main disease characteristics of Western medicine and lack observation of TCM syndromes. Future studies can pay attention to the intervention factors and evaluation systems of spleen deficiency Qi deficiency and liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome and build the animal model of dAMD with integration of disease and syndrome based on clinical characteristics of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Lung transplantation is an important means to treat end-stage lung disease and improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients. However, many postoperative complications seriously affect the prognosis of recipients. Accurate identification of key prognostic factors and construction of individualized and accurate prediction models are of great significance for postoperative prognosis evaluation, treatment strategy formulation and clinical decision-making. In recent years, the clinical prediction model of lung transplantation has gradually changed from traditional statistical methods to machine learning-driven. Compared with traditional models such as Cox regression and Logistic regression, machine learning models such as random forest, support vector machine and artificial neural network have certain advantages in postoperative survival rate prediction, early warning of complications and pulmonary function evaluation. However, their application is also affected by insufficient sample size and poor interpretability of models. Under the condition of small samples, the traditional model still has important value in prediction accuracy. The appropriate prediction model should be selected according to the clinical status of lung transplantation in China, considering the factors such as sample size, variable complexity and model interpretability. In the future, a multi-center, large-sample lung transplantation database should be constructed to further optimize and tap the potential of machine learning algorithms to improve the robustness and clinical applicability of the model.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism by which hydrogen alleviates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) through ultrasound-targeted destruction of hydrogen-loaded phospholipid microbubbles in the ischemic myocardium of rats.Methods:A total of 45 rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham operation group, IRI group (model group), and hydrogen treatment group (experimental group), with 15 rats in each group. A rat model of myocardial IRI was established. Rats in the sham group received 0.2 ml of normal saline via the tail vein, those in the model group received 0.2 ml of phospholipid microbubbles without hydrogen, and those in the treatment group received 0.2 ml of hydrogen-loaded phospholipid microbubbles. After 24 hours, cardiac function was assessed by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS). Serum levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Expression levels of Janus knase 2(JAK2), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3), phosphorylated JAK2(p-JAK2), and phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3) proteins in myocardial tissue were detected by Western blot. Myocardial infarct size was evaluated by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, and myocardial histopathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.Results:After 24 hours of reperfusion, LVEF [(54.26±2.92) % vs (45.77±27%)] and LVFS [(24.11±1.68) % vs (19.50±1.19%)] were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the model group (both P<0.001). ELISA results showed that levels of CK-MB [(13.58±2.07) μg/L vs (20.07±1.57) μg/L], LDH [(47.76±8.32) μg/L vs (74.39±10.19) μg/L], cTnI [(7.50±0.26) μg/L vs (9.05±0.34) μg/L], and IL-6 [(121.34±8.97) ng/L vs (156.99±6.46) ng/L] were significantly lower in the treatment group compared with the model group (all P<0.001). TTC staining revealed a smaller infarct size in the treatment group [(48.77±2.68)%] than in the model group [(63.53±3.10)%, P<0.001]. Western blot analysis showed that the expression levels of JAK2 and p-STAT3 proteins were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the model group ( P<0.05). HE staining showed no pathological abnormalities in major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney) following hydrogen microbubble treatment. Conclusions:Ultrasound-targeted destruction of hydrogen microbubbles enables local hydrogen release in the myocardium, which downregulates IL-6 and inhibits activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, thereby attenuating inflammation and reducing ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate the effects of digital platform construction in departmental Party branches on the or-ganizational stronghold role of primary-level Party organizations.Methods Under the leadership of the hospital Party committee,the Radiology Department Party Branch launched the development of a"Party building+Services"digital platform in July 2021,facilitating a comprehensive integration of political and operational activities.This study retrospectively compared the differences in the indicators of party-building and the disciplinary development,mainly including Party-building effectiveness,team cohe-sion,management efficiency,clinical services,scientific research outputs,and educational performances between three-years pre-and post-implementation.Additionally,it also summed up the impact of an electronic platform development on the role of primary-level Party organizations as a combat bastion.Results Post-implementation metrics demonstrated statistically significant improvements in such indicators of Party organization building and disciplinary development as primary-level Party building effec-tiveness,team cohesion,management efficiency,scientific research outputs,and educational performances(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The establishment of an electronic platform within the department fosters deep integration and intelligent empower-ment of Party building and operational activities,enhances the quality of Party building,and promotes the advancement of disci-plines,thereby reinforcing the role of primary-level Party organizations as effective combat bastions.

[Objective]To clearly identify the difference between rescue injuries and agonal injuries and to avoid duplicate identifications and misidentifications.[Methods]Based on the forensic pathological data of 5 923 cases of death cause identification from 2013 to 2022 in Sun Yat-sen University Forensic Identification Center and Guangzhou Tianhe District Branch of Guangzhou Public Security Bureau,this study retrospectively studied the characteristics of rescue injuries and agonal injuries seen in cause of death identification and their influence on cause of death identification.[Results]Among all the 5 923 cases,640 cases were found to have rescue injuries or agonal injuries,and 624 cases received treatment,of which 609 cases were found to have rescue injuries(97.60%),44 cases were found to have agonal injuries,and 13 cases were found to have both types of injuries.Among the 640 cases,441 were male and 199 were female.The age of death was discontinuously distributed from 0 to 95 years old.The leading cause of death was disease,followed by mechanical injury and asphyxia.The main manifestations of rescue injuries were rib and sternum fractures,soft tissue injuries in the prechest area or face,and pericardial rupture.The most common injuries in agonal stage were falling after unconsciousness,inhalation of foreign body in respiratory tract or multiple violent injuries.Among the 640 cases,19 cases were repeatedly identified,including 15 cases of rescue injuries,6 cases of agonal injuries,and 2 cases of both types of injuries.Compared with the cases where neither type of injuries was detected,the repeated identification rate of treatment injuries and agonal injuries was significantly increased(χ2=4.04,P=0.044;χ2=43.49,P<0.001).Among the 640 cases,11 cases(1.72%)were misidentified as the initial injuries in the first identification,and 13 cases had combined rescue injuries or agonal injuries that were involved in death.[Conclusions]By elucidating the epidemiological characteristics of the two types of injuries,this study proved that the two types of injuries were associated with higher rates of repeated identification and misidentification,which provided a reference for reducing repeated identification and misidentification and improving the accuracy of cause of death identification.

Objective: To investigate the causal association between amino acids and the primary malignant bone tumor and its underlying mechanism. Methods: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data of glycine, serine, arginine, glutamine, methionine, and leucine was sourced from the IEU OpenGWAS database and the GWAS Catalog. GWAS data of primary malignant bone tumor were obtained from the FinnGen database. Using each of the six amino acids as the exposure and primary malignant bone tumor as the outcome, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed with the inverse-variance weighted method as the primary approach. Multivariable MR analysis was employed to control for collinearity among amino acids. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using Cochran's Q test, MR-Egger regression and the MR Steiger test. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction network analysis were explored to explore potential mechanisms and identify key genes. Results: MR analysis results indicated a statistically significant causal association between glycine and primary malignant bone tumor (OR=1.719, 95%CI: 1.083-2.728). No significant causal associations were found for the other five amino acids (all P>0.05). Multivariable MR analysis revealed that, after adjusting for the other five amino acids, confirmed a positive causal association between glycine and primary malignant bone tumor (OR=1.512, 95%CI: 1.125-2.031). Sensitivity analyses revealed no significant heterogeneity, horizontal pleiotropy, or reverse causality (all P>0.05). Genes associated with both glycine metabolism and primary malignant bone tumor were enriched in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, with serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2) identified as a key gene. Conclusion Higher glycine levels may increase the risk of primary malignant bone tumor via the SHMT2-JAK-STAT pathway.

Pelvic fractures, the most severe bone trauma, account for approximately 3% of all fractures. As they are caused by high-energy injuries, their rates of mortality and disability are high. Over the past two centuries, the treatment strategies for these fractures have evolved from conservative therapy to open reduction and plate fixation, then to closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation, and recently to screw fixation assisted by artificial intelligence. In the past 40 years, constant progress has been made in the treatment of pelvic fractures. It is generally acknowledged that a personalized treatment plan should be formulated based on each patient's age, fracture type, comorbidities, functional requirements and other factors when an appropriate treatment mode is chosen. The primary aim of treatment is to accelerate functional recovery, decrease the rate of disability after injury, and improve the quality of daily life of the patient. This paper reviews the treatment history of pelvic fractures, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of current treatment options, and looks ahead to future prospects, aiming to offer valuable references for related clinical practice.

Sacroiliac complex injuries are commonly seen in high-energy pelvic fractures. The injuries make a big difference in treatment patterns due to the diverse injury types, posing considerable challenges in formulating optimal treatment strategies, and hence are persistent clinical difficulties in orthopedic trauma. The clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries presents several key challenges such as a non-negligible rate of missed diagnoses in associated vascular and visceral injuries, absence of standardized protocols for surgical approaches and reduction-fixation strategies across different injury patterns, and ongoing controversies regarding surgical indications and optimal timing for patients combined with concomitant lumbosacral plexus injuries. Currently, no systematic clinical guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries both domestically and internationally. To this end, the Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery Group, Orthopedic Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and Orthopedic Physician Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized a panel of domestic experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medicine and adhering to the principles of scientific rigor, clinical applicability, and innovation. These guidelines provided 11 recommendations covering diagnosis, therapeutic principles and techniques, management protocols for lumbosacral plexus injuries, outcome evaluation, and postoperative rehabilitation pathways, etc., aiming to standardize the clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries.
