ObjectiveBased on whole-animal mass spectrometry imaging technology， spatial metabolomics was used to characterize in situ the metabolic alteration patterns in the lungs and brain of a rat model of lung heat-induced cough and asthma， as well as after treatment with Xiebai San. MethodsNine Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into a blank group （physiological saline）， a model group （physiological saline）， and a Xiebai San group （9 g·kg^-1）， with three rats in each group. The model group and the Xiebai San group were both induced using lipopolysaccharide-ovalbumin （LPS-OVA） to establish an asthma rat model. After treatment with Xiebai San， the animals were euthanized on day 21 and rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen to preserve morphology. Whole-animal tissue sections were prepared using a cryomicrotome， and imaging was performed using the Air-flow-assisted Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging （AFADESI-MSI） platform. Based on the corresponding optical images， ion data of metabolites from the lung and brain tissues of each group were extracted. Differential metabolites were analyzed using SIMCA and GraphPad Prism 9.0 software. Metabolites were identified using the HMDB （https：//hmdb.ca/） and LipidMAPS^® （https：//www.lipidmaps.org/） databases， and metabolic changes in the lungs and brain were analyzed. ResultsMass spectrometry imaging showed that， after Xiebai San intervention， components such as neoglycyrrhizin and glycyrrhizin from Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， as well as palmitamide from Lycii Cortex， were significantly distributed in the lung and brain tissues of rats. Lung analysis indicated that substances with anti-inflammatory effects， such as citric acid， were significantly decreased （P0.01）， while lipid metabolites such as lysophosphatidylethanolamine （LPE 17：1）， LPE （22：4）， and LPE （19：0） （P0.01） were significantly increased， showing a marked inflammatory response in the model group. After Xiebai San intervention， these conditions were notably improved. Analysis of metabolic changes in brain tissue showed that， compared with the blank group， amino acid and fatty acid metabolic pathways in the model group exhibited restricted alterations. Among them， levels of aspartic acid， glutamic acid， fatty acid （FA 18：5）， hydroxy fatty acids （FAHFA 36：0；O）， FA （6：1；O6）， and LPE （18：1） increased， whereas FA （16：0） and FA （20：4） significantly decreased. Administration of Xiebai San improved these metabolic abnormalities in the brain. Systematic analysis of lung and brain metabolic changes in rats with lung heat-induced cough and asthma showed that antioxidant unsaturated phospholipid substances were significantly decreased in the model group， suggesting oxidative stress and inflammation-related lung-brain axis responses after the onset of lung heat-induced cough and asthma. ConclusionUsing whole-animal mass spectrometry imaging combined with spatial metabolomics revealed the in vivo distribution of Xiebai San constituents， characterized the metabolic alterations in the lungs and brain caused by lung heat-induced cough and asthma， and systematically demonstrated the lung-brain axis inflammatory responses and the regulatory effects of Xiebai San. These findings provide valuable information for the study of Chinese medicine in lung heat-induced cough and asthma.

Objective To systematically analyze the literature characteristics of Journal of Organ Transplantation since its inception. Methods Using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) academic journal full-text database as the data source, all articles published in the Journal of Organ Transplantation from January 2010 to August 2025 were retrieved. After excluding non-academic papers, a total of 1 568 research papers were included. R language 4.3.0, Bibliometrix package 3.2.1, and Citespace software were used to analyze the number of publications, publishing institutions, authors, keywords and other aspects. Results The number of publications in Journal of Organ Transplantation increased from an average of 82 articles per year in the early years after its inception to 113 articles per year in recent years, a growth of 37.8%. The geographical distribution of publishing institutions covers 32 provinces, cities and autonomous regions nationwide, mainly concentrated in the South China, East China and North China regions, and has now basically covered the central and western regions in recent years. The author collaboration network includes 45 authors distributed across 7 major collaboration clusters, forming a stable multi-level national research system centered on key university-affiliated hospitals. The high-frequency keywords are dominated by "liver transplantation" (425 times) and "kidney transplantation" (396 times). The theme evolution shows a clear three-stage characteristic: initially focusing on clinical technology application, deepening to immune mechanism exploration in the middle stage, and recently (since 2022) focusing on cutting-edge research areas such as xenotransplantation. Conclusions Journal of Organ Transplantation has witnessed the rapid development of China's organ transplantation cause, fully reflecting the research status and trends in China's organ transplantation field, and has provided an important platform for the future development and international cooperation in China's organ transplantation field.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of pachymic acid on renal injury in pregnancy induced hypertension （PIH） rats by regulating the silent information regulator transcript 1/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α （Sirt1/PGC-1α） pathway. METHODS Pregnant SD rats were prepared by co-caging and PIH model was induced using N-nitro-L- arginine methyl ester （L-NAME） method. PIH rats were randomly divided into model group， L-pachymic acid （low-dose pachymic acid， 10 mg/kg） group， H-pachymic acid （high-dose pachymic acid， 20 mg/kg） group， and H-pachymic acid+EX527 （20 mg/kg pachymic acid+10 mg/kg EX527） group， with 6 rats in each group. Another 6 normal pregnant rats were selected as blank group. Each group was given relevant medicine or solvent intragastrically or intraperitoneally daily， once a day， for 28 consecutive days. After the last administration， 24 h urinary protein and tail artery systolic blood pressure （SBP） were measured in pregnant rats from each group， along with the levels of serum creatinine （Scr）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN），uric acid （UA）， and cystatin C （Cys-C）. The contents of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）， and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine （8-OHdG） in renal tissue， as well as the mRNA and protein expression levels of Sirt1 and PGC-1α， were also determined. Meanwhile， renal histopathological changes in rats from each group were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining. RESULTS Compared with model group， L-pachymic acid group and H-pachymic acid group exhibited significant decreases in 24 h urine protein quantification， tail artery SBP， Scr， BUN， UA， Cys-C levels， glomerulosclerosis index score of renal tissue， renal tubular injury score， the percentage of PAS positive area， MDA and 8-OHdG （P＜0.05）. Conversely， the contents of SOD and GSH-Px， along with the mRNA and protein expression levels of Sirt1 and PGC-1α， were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Moreover， these improvements were more pronounced in H-pachymic acid group （P＜0.05）. Compared with H-pachymic acid group， the aforementioned indicators in pregnant rats from the H-pachymic acid+EX527 group showed significant reversal （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Pachymic acid significantly ameliorates renal injury induced by PIH in rats， potentially through activation of the Sirt1/PGC-1α pathway.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

ObjectiveNonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） is a metabolic stress liver injury. Ferroptosis is involved in the occurrence and development of NAFLD. Exploring the efficacy and mechanism of schisandrin B in treating NAFLD facilitates the development of strategies for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD. MethodsThe molecular structure of schisandrin B was obtained by searching against PubChem， and the related targets were predicted by SwissTargetPrediction. The active ingredients and their targets were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP） and the high-throughput experiment- and reference-guide database of traditional Chinese medicine （HERB）. GeneCards and FerrDb were searched for the targets of NAFLD and ferroptosis. The common targets were taken as the core targets， and the protein-protein interaction network of the core targets was established. DAVID was used for gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） analyses. Finally， molecular docking was performed between schisandrin B and core targets， and the binding energy was calculated. C57BL/6 mice were fed with a methionine and choline-deficiency （MCD） diet for the modeling of NAFLD. Mice were randomized into normal， model， positive drug （essentiale）， and low- and high-dose schisandrin B groups. The body mass and liver index of mice were measured after drug administration. The levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） in the serum and those of total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， and Fe²⁺ in the liver homogenate were measured by biochemical assay kits. The pathological changes of the liver tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and red oil O staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to determine the levels of interleukin （IL）-6， IL-1β， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， and 4-hydroxynonenal （4-HNE） in the serum. Western blotting and real-time PCR were employed to determine the protein and mRNA levels， respectively， of solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， solute carrier family 3 member 2 （SLC3A2）， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， transferrin， and ferritin heavy chain （FTH） in the liver tissue. ResultsA total of 2 370， 2 547， and 1 451 targets of schisandrin B， NAFLD， and ferroptosis were obtained， in which 90 common targets were shared by the three. Enrichment analyses predicted 505 GO terms and 92 KEGG pathways. Molecular docking suggested that schizandrin B had strong binding affinity with the key targets of ferropstosis （SLC7A11 and SLC3A2）. Animal experiments showed that schizandrin B significantly decreased the liver index， lowered the levels of ALT， AST， TC， TG， IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α， alleviated hepatocyte ballooning and inflammatory cell infiltration， and reduced lipid accumulation in the liver of NAFLD mice. In addition， schisandrin B significantly lowered the levels of MDA， 4-HNE， and Fe²⁺， elevated the level of GSH， up-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of SLC7A11， SLC3A2， and GPX4， and down-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of transferrin in the liver tissue. ConclusionSchisandrin B can alleviate NAFLD by inhibiting ferroptosis in hepatocytes.

The incidence and mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in China are among the highest in the world, imposing a heavy social burden. Liver resection and liver transplantation are the primary radical treatments for HCC, although most patients are no longer able to meet the surgical requirements at initial diagnosis. Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (⁹⁰Y-SIRT) has the advantages of shrinking tumors, enlarging residual liver, regressing portal vein tumor thrombus and improving the quality of life, which can be used for conversion, downstaging and bridging therapy for HCC before surgical treatment, enabling patients regain the chance of radical treatment and reducing the postoperative recurrence rate. This review focuses on the clinical application and progress of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT in this field.

Background Construction workers represent a high risk group for occupational injuries. Currently, domestic and international studies examining the factors affecting occupational injuries among construction workers focus on demographic and behavioural characteristics. However, there is limited attention to psychosocial, use of digital technology, and health status of workers. Objective To analyze the occurrence of occupational injuries among workers in the construction industry, explore impacts of psychosocial risk, use of digital technology, health status, and preventive measures at the workplace on occupational injuries, and provide a basis for the development of preventive measures. Methods Publicly available data from the European Union Occupational Safety and Health Administration were retrieved, comprising a sample of 2167 construction workers. The outcome indicator was the presence of occupational injuries among workers. A total of 25 variables in the dimensions of psychosocial risk, use of digital technology, health status, and preventive measures at the workplace were extracted after Chi-square test, and then a combination of Boruta's algorithm and logistic regression was applied to identify the key factors affecting occupational injuries. Results Among the 2167 construction workers surveyed, 182 (8.6%) reported experiencing occupational injuries. The Boruta algorithm identified eight characteristics which in descending order of importance were musculoskeletal disorders, job type, depression and anxiety, level of completed education, use of electronic smart products, timely solution of safety problems, overall fatigue, and age. The logistic regression results indicated that six variables had statistically significant effects on occupational injuries: age, job type, level of completed education, musculoskeletal disorders, overall fatigue, and timely solution of safety problems (P<0.05). Conclusion Occupational injuries in construction workers are influenced by a variety of factors, including age, job type, level of completed education, musculoskeletal disorders, overall fatigue, and timely solution of safety problems. Companies and workers should take targeted measures to reduce the incidence of occupational injuries.

Background Diseases severely affect the efficiency of workers. Comorbidity refers to the coexistence of two or more chronic diseases or health problems in the same individual. Previous studies have primarily focused on occupational injuries caused by environmental exposures, while the analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of self-reported diseases and occupational injuries among manufacturing workers has been insufficient. Objective To analyze the distribution of self-reported diseases and occupational injuries among manufacturing workers, the strength of correlation between different diseases, and common disease combinations, and to preliminarily explore the relationship between self-reported diseases and occupational injuries. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the occupational injuries of 2382 workers in 2 manufacturing enterprises over the past year, and 2355 questionnaires were valid after cleaning. The questionnaire included three parts: basic information, occupational injury occurrence, and disease prevalence. The self-reported diseases diagnosed by physicians included musculoskeletal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, mental health problems, neurological and sensory organ diseases, digestive organ diseases, reproductive and urinary organ diseases, skin diseases, tumors, endocrine and metabolic system diseases, blood diseases and birth defects, a total of 11 types. Log-binomial model was used to calculate the prevalence ratio (PR) value of the association between different diseases, and UpSet diagram was used to present the disease combination pattern. Results In total, 40.2% (946/2355) of the study participants reported at least one disease, while 8.6% (203/2355), 5.2% (122/2355), and 5.9% (140/2355) reported having two, three, and four or more diseases, respectively. A higher prevalence was observed for musculoskeletal diseases, neurological and sensory organ diseases, digestive organ diseases, and skin diseases, which accounted for 18.0% (423/2355), 13.8% (324/2355), 9.3% (218/2355), and 9.1% (214/2355), respectively. Workers with musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, or neurological and sensory organ diseases reported significantly higher incidence of occupational injuries compared with workers without the corresponding diseases (P<0.001, P=0.041, and P=0.006, respectively). Musculoskeletal diseases were strongly associated with comorbidities of neurological and sensory organ diseases (PR values were 1.86 and 1.98, respectively), and the other patters were musculoskeletal diseases and digestive organ diseases (PR and OR values were 1.57 and 2.35, respectively), and musculoskeletal diseases and cardiovascular diseases (PR and OR values were 1.46 and 2.22, respectively). The largest binomial comorbidity group involved musculoskeletal diseases and neurological and sensory organ diseases, accounting for 5.4% (25/465) of the comorbid workers. Conclusion Among the self-reported diseases of manufacturing workers, musculoskeletal diseases, neurological and sensory organ diseases, digestive organ diseases, and skin diseases are more common. Musculoskeletal diseases and neurological and sensory organ diseases are the most common in all comorbidities. Musculoskeletal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological and sensory organ diseases are associated with occupational injuries. In the prevention and control of occupational injuries, joint prevention strategies targeting multiple diseases should be strengthened.

Abstract On September 26, 2024, a municipal hospital in Jiaxing City reported a maternal case of Listeria monocytogenes infection. In order to clarify the source of infection, the Jiaxing Center for Disease Control and Prevention immediately conducted the epidemiological investigation, laboratory testing and related disposal work. The case presented with fever (37.9 ℃), gradually intensifying paroxysmal abdominal pain without obvious cause, and went to hospital on the day of onset. Due to fetal intrauterine distress, a male infant was delivered by cesarean section on the same day. The epidemiological investigation identified that the case usually consumed fruits, often store fruits such as watermelon and grapes in the refrigerator alongside raw meat, and the refrigerator had never been cleaned or disinfected, posing a risk of cross contamination. Laboratory tests on amniotic fluid sample from the pregnant woman, infant blood sample showed positive results for Listeria monocytogenes infection. One strain of Listeria monocytogenes was detected in a smear sample from the inner wall of the refrigerator, and all the strains were ST2 type. Consuming fruits contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may be the main source of infection. Food safety education for pregnant women and their family members should be strengthened to reduce the risk of infection.
