Objective:A preliminary trial is conducted to explore whether perioperative(preoperative,intraoperative,and postoperative)electroacupuncture is more effective than postoperative electroacupuncture in improving gastrointestinal function for colorectal cancer patients.Methods and analysis:The study proposes a randomized,parallel-controlled,single-center trial involving 30 colorectal cancer patients aged 18-79 requiring elective surgery.Participants are randomly assigned to two groups,with equal allocation,where one group receives perioperative electroacupuncture,and the other group receives postoperative electroacupuncture.The treatment duration spans from preoperative to postoperative 72 h,with a subsequent 28-day follow-up period.The primary outcome is the time of first postoperative defecation.The secondary outcomes include the recovery time of postoperative bowel sounds,time of the first flatus,dietary recovery,postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction frequency,quality of life scale,postoperative pain degree,time of the first ambulation,length of hospital stay,gastrointestinal hormone indicators,and adverse events.The coagulation function test,liver and renal function,and stool and blood routine serve as security biomarkers.The statistical analysis includes the t-test,rank-sum test,Chi-square test,and analysis of variance.A two-sided significance level is set at 5%.Discussion:This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of perioperative electroacupuncture for gastrointestinal function recovery following colorectal cancer surgery.The study's strengths include its randomized design,well-defined intervention periods,and multi-dimensional outcome assessment.Nevertheless,limitations,such as the small sample size and single-center setting,may affect external validity.The findings will guide protocol refinement and sample size estimation for future large-scale multi-center randomized controlled trials.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of terlipressin combined with dopamine on intraoperative renal perfusion and early postoperative renal function in patients undergoing living-donor kidney transplantation.Methods:In this prospective cohort study, 84 patients of either sex, aged 18-64 yr, with a body mass index of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅲ or Ⅳ, undergoing living-donor kidney transplantation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2022 to July 2024, in whom dopamine was continuously infused during operation to maintain fluctuation in the mean arterial pressure within 10% of the baseline value, were selected and divided into dopamine group (group D, n=42) and dopamine+ terlipressin group (group DT, n=42) based on whether terlipressin was used during operation. Terlipressin was continuously infused at a constant rate even before induction in group DT. The renal artery resistance index, intraoperative urine output, urine output within 24 h after surgery, concentration of creatinine within 7 days after surgery, glomerular filtration rate and delayed postoperative transplanted renal function were recorded. Results:Compared with group D, the intraoperative renal vascular resistance index was significantly reduced, the intraoperative urine output was increased ( P<0.01), and no statistical change was found in the urine output within 24 h after surgery, concentration of creatinine within 7 days after surgery, glomerular filtration rate and incidence of delayed postoperative transplanted renal function in group DT ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Terlipressin combined with dopamine provides better efficacy than dopamine alone in improving intraoperative renal perfusion and exerts no effect on early postoperative renal function in patients undergoing living-donor kidney transplantation.

Objective:
To construct and validate a prognostic model for lung cancer based on acrolein-related genes using bioinformatics methods .
Methods:
Lung cancer datasets GSE30219 and GSE68465 were obtained from the GEO database , and acrolein-related gene sets were retrieved from the CTD database . Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between cancer and adjacent tissues were identified in the GSE30219 dataset. The intersection of these DEGs and acrolein-related genes was then used to identify candidate genes . Gene set variation analysis ( GSVA) was performed to assess functional alterations based on the intersection genes . A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed based on the STRING database to identify core hub genes . Subsequently , support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) and LASSO-Cox regression analyses were employed to develop a prognostic model based on acrolein-related genes , which was independently validated using the GSE68465 dataset. The CIBERSORT algorithm was applied to evaluate the immune cell infiltration characteristics between high- and low-risk groups , and functional enrichment analysis of DEGs between the two groups was conducted to further ex- plore the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the prognostic model .
Results :
A total of 361 acrolein-related DEGs were identified in lung cancer , and 7 key genes were selected for model construction . Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients in the high-risk group had significantly lower survival rates compared to those in the low-risk group (P < 0. 000 1) . Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated that the mod- el possessed good predictive performance . Moreover , immune infiltration analysis indicated that the risk score was closely associated with multiple immune cell subsets , suggesting a potential role of acrolein-related genes in modula- ting the lung cancer immune microenvironment.
Conclusion
The prognostic model for lung cancer based on acro- lein-related genes demonstrates significant application value in predicting the prognosis of lung cancer , providing new insights into the potential mechanisms of acrolein in the onset and progression of lung cancer.

Forty adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:the control group,Salmonella typhimurium(S.typhimurium)(ST)group,phlorizin(PHZ)+S.typhimuri-um(ST)group,and PHZ(80 mg/kg)group,with 10 mice in each group.Morphological observa-tion,HE staining,ELISA,immunofluorescence and Western blot were performed,the results showed that PHZ significantly increased the cecal index,decreased the spleen index of S.typhi-murium-induced mice(P<0.05),and reduce the pathological damage of cecum in mice.Mean-while,PHZ treatment also significantly reduced colonization of S.typhimurium in the cecum,spleen,mesenteric lymph nodes and liver(P<0.05).The results of ELISA showed that PHZ treatment also significantly inhibited the S.ty phimurium-induced increase in the expression of IL-1β,INF-γ,TNF-a and IL-6 in the cecum of mice(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence and Western blot results showed that PHZ significantly increased the protein expression levels of Occludin,Claudin-3,and ZO-1 in the cecal barrier of mice induced by S.typhimurium(P<0.05).These results con-firmed that phlorizin could improve cecal inflammation and intestinal barrier damage induced by S.typhimurium in mice.
