Metabolites produced as intermediaries or end-products of microbial metabolism provide crucial signals for health and diseases, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). These metabolites include products of the bacterial metabolism of dietary substrates, modification of host molecules (such as bile acids [BAs], trimethylamine-N-oxide, and short-chain fatty acids), or products directly derived from bacteria. Recent studies have provided new insights into the association between MASLD and the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, alterations in microbiota composition and metabolite profiles, notably altered BAs, have been described in studies investigating the association between MASLD and the risk of CKD. This narrative review discusses alterations of specific classes of metabolites, BAs, fructose, vitamin D, and microbiota composition that may be implicated in the link between MASLD and CKD.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the methodological quality of the postoperative chemotherapy guidelines/ consensuses for ovarian epithelial tumor. METHODS A search was conducted across databases including PubMed， Embase， Web of Science， CBM， VIP， Chinese Medical Journal Data， Wanfang Data， and CNKI， as well as the official websites of GIN， NICE， Medlive， AHRQ， CSCO， ASCO， and NCCN. The search period was from the establishment of the databases/websites to March 10， 2025. The quality of the included guidelines/consensus was evaluated by using the AGREE-Ⅱ tool. RESULTS A total of 16 guidelines/consensuses were included. The domain scores of AGREE-Ⅱ evaluation were as follows： scope and purpose of 85.07%， participants of 47.92%， rigor of development of 57.49%， clarity of presentation of 88.02%， applicability of 8.20%， and independence of 53.39%. Among them， 14 were recommended at grade B and 2 were recommended at grade C. The subgroup analysis by different countries/regions and different types of studies showed that the scores for participants， rigor of development， and independence of the guidelines/consensuses in China were significantly lower than foreign countries （P＜0.05）； the scores for participants and rigor of development of the guidelines were significantly higher than consensuses （P＜0.05）. The guideline/ consensus recommendation results indicated that grade B guidelines/consensus recommend platinum-based combination chemotherapy as the preferred adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for stage Ⅰ high-grade serous carcinoma patients；platinum-based combination chemotherapy±bevacizumab was recommended as the preferred adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ high- grade serous carcinoma patients and for platinum-sensitive recurrent high-grade serous carcinoma patients； non-platinum single- agent chemotherapy±bevacizumab was recommended as the preferred chemotherapy regimen for platinum-resistant recurrent high- grade serous carcinoma patients. CONCLUSIONS The overall quality of postoperative chemotherapy guidelines/consensuses for ovarian epithelial tumor is not high. The methodological quality of guidelines/consensuses in China is still lagging behind that of foreign countries. The recommendations differ from those in foreign countries. It is recommended to improve the aspects of participants， rigor of development， and independence， to recommend treatment plans based on the different stages of ovarian cancer， and develop guidelines/consensuses that align with China’s national conditions.

Objective To analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with knee osteoarthritis,and to construct a nomogram prediction model in conjunction with multi-dimensional clinical indicators.Methods The clinical data of 234 pa-tients with knee osteoarthritis who were treated in our hospital from January 2015 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed,including 126 males and 108 females;age more than 60 years old for 135 cases,age less than 60 years old for 99 cases.Lysholm knee function score was used to evaluate the prognosis of the patients,and the patients were divided into good progno-sis group for 155 patients and poor prognosis group for 79 patients according to the prognosis.The clinical data of the subjects in the experimental cohort were analyzed by single factor and multiple factors.The patients were divided into experimental co-hort and verification cohort,the results of the multiple factor analysis were visualized to obtain a nomogram prediction model,the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC),calibration curve and decision curve were used to evaluate the model's dis-crimination,accuracy and clinical benefit rate.Results The results of multivariate analysis showed that smoking,pre-treatment K-L grades of Ⅲto Ⅳ,and high levels of interleukin 6(IL-6)and matrix metallo proteinase-3(MMP-3)were risk factors for the prognosis of patients with knee osteoarthritis.ROC test results showed that the area under the curve of the nomogram model in the experimental cohort and validation cohort was 0.806[95％CI(0.742,0.866)]and 0.786[(95％CI(0.678,0.893)],re-spectively.The results of the calibration curve showed that the Brier values of the experimental cohort and verification cohort were 0.151 points and 0.134 points,respectively.When the threshold probability value in the decision curve was set to 31％,the clinical benefit rates of the experimental cohort and validation cohort were 51％and 56％,respectively.Conclusion The prognostic model of patients with knee osteoarthritis constructed based on multi-dimensional clinical data has both theoretical and practical significance,and can provide a reference for taking targeted measures to improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of swimming exercise(SE)on lipid metabolism in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)mice.Methods A total of 27 C57BL/6J mice were divided into the control group(normal diet),high fat diet(HFD)group and HFD+SE group,with 9 mice in each group.Twelve weeks later,liver tissues were collected for untargeted lipidomics detection by LC-MS.Dimensional statistical analysis of lipidomics profiles was carried out by constructing OPLS-DA model,and combined with the t-test,the lipids with OPLS-DA VIP>1,P<0.05 were screened out from all samples as significantly different lipids.Results There were 81 different lipids between HFD group and the control group;and there were 27 different lipids between HFD+SE group and HFD group.The different lipids mainly belong to glycerides,glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelins.Conclusion Lipid metabolism profile of NAFLD mice has been changed,and swimming exercise can improve lipid metabolism of NAFLD mice.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of adult patients with early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma(ETP-ALL/LBL).Methods:Clinical data of 113 T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma(T-ALL/LBL)patients from January 2006 to January 2019 were collected from three hematology research centers,including Peking University Third Hospital,the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital and Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital,Chinese Medical University.The clinical characteristics and prognosis of ETP-ALL/LBL patients were analyzed compared with non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients.Results:In 113 T-ALL/LBL patients,13 cases(11.5％)were diagnosed as ETP-ALL/LBL,including 11 males,with a median age of 28(18-53)years.Compared with non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients,there were no significant differences in age,sex,incidence of large mediastinal mass,clinical stage,international prognostic index(IPI)score,white blood cell(WBC)count and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)level among ETP-ALL/LBL patients.Among 13 ETP-ALL/LBL patients,9 cases(69.2％)achieved complete remission(CR),and there was no statistically significant difference in response rate induced by chemotherapy between ETP-ALL/LBL patients and non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients.Among patients who received chemotherapy without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT),ETP-ALL/LBL group had a worse 5-year overall survival(OS)rate compared with non-ETP-ALL/LBL group(0 vs 7.1％,P=0.008),while in patients with allo-HSCT,there was no significant difference for 5-year OS rate between the two group(37.5％vs 40.2％,P＞0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that CR after induction therapy,allo-HSCT,and LDH level were independent prognostic factors affecting T-ALL/LBL patients.Conclusion:No significant difference in response rate induced by chemotherapy is observed between ETP-ALL/LBL and non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients.Allo-HSCT consolidation after induction of remission therapy may have significant favorable influence on OS for patients with ETP-ALL/LBL.

Objective:To establish a method for preserving viral nucleic acids in plasma using a blood collection card based on the dry spot method,to predict the duration of nucleic acid preservation by establishing the Arrhenius equation,and to demonstrate the feasibility of this preservation method for the re-testing of nucleic acids in blood samples retained by blood banks.Methods:Plasma samples positive for HBV,HCV,and HIV nucleic acids were prepared into preservation cards in the form of dry plasma spots for storage.The prepared preservation cards were placed under accelerated storage conditions at 37,45,50,and 55 ℃.The preservation cards were periodically retrieved from each temperature condition for nucleic acid extraction,and the nucleic acid samples were purified for subsequent PCR testing,with the recorded CT values.An Arrhenius equation model was established between the expiration time and the storage temperature,thereby predicting the validity period of nucleic acid preservation in blood collection cards under specified storage temperature conditions.Results:For the plasma samples positive for HBV,HCV,and HIV nucleic acids preserved using the dry spot method,the regression equations for the duration with temperature were as follows:y=-11546x+31.74 for HBV,y=-12949x+36.88 for HCV,and y=-12204x+34.48 for HIV,with the correlation coefficient r greater than 0.98 for all.It was predicted that at a storage temperature of 4 ℃,the preservation periods for HBV,HCV,and HIV viral nucleic acids using the dry spot method would be 20792 days,19289 days,and 14285 days,respectively.At a storage temperature of 20 ℃,the preservation periods would be 2135 days 1502 days,and 1289 days,respectively.Conclusion:The nucleic acids of the three common viral pathogens in blood samples,when preserved using the dry spot method,conform to a first-order reaction pattern in the accelerated degradation experiment.The relationship between the rate of nucleic acid degradation and the absolute temperature of storage is consistent with the Arrhenius equation.Based on the calculations using this equation,the stability and validity period of plasma nucleic acid samples preserved using the dry spot method can reach a minimum of 3 .5 years under storage conditions not exceeding 20 ℃,which essentially meets the requirements for the preservation period of blood samples retained by blood banks.

Objective To construct and preliminarily apply a graded exercise rehabilitation program for patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD),and to provide a theoretical basis for the scientific implementation of exercise rehabilitation by medical staff.Methods Based on Triangle model and evidence-based method,the first draft of the graded exercise rehabilitation program was constructed,and the items were revised through 2 rounds of expert consultations from March to October,2023.The graded exercise rehabilitation program was preliminarily applied in 10 patients with AECOPD.Results The effective recovery rates of the 2 rounds of expert consultation questionnaires were 100％;the expert authority coefficients were 0.857 and 0.863;the coefficients of variation were 0-0.285 and 0.052-0.244;the Kendall's harmony coefficients were 0.167 and 0.145,respectively(all P＜0.001).The final plan includes 4 first-level indicators,13 second-level indicators,and 25 third-level indicators.The scores of 6 min walking test,mMRC and CAT after exercise were improved compared with those before exercise,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The graded exercise rehabilitation program for patients with AECOPD constructed in this study has good scientificity and practicability,which can provide references for clinical implementation of exercise rehabilitation.

Objective:To study the mechanism of icariin inhibiting the proliferation of human PCa PC-3 cells based on cell metabolomics technology.Methods:We determined the proliferation activity of human PC-3 cells by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay,and compared the proliferation of the PC-3 cells among the control,5-fluorouracil and icariin intervention groups.Using the Bligh Dyer method,we extracted endogenous metabolites from the cells,analyzed the metabolic profile by ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry,identified the differential metabolites by principal component anal-ysis and orthogonal partial least-squares discrimination analysis,and enriched the metabolic pathways based on the MetaboAnalyst data-base.Results:Icariin significantly inhibited the proliferation of human PCa PC-3 cells.A total of 89 differential metabolites were i-dentified,mainly including amino acids,phosphatidylcholine,phosphatidylethanolamine,lysophosphatidylcholine,and lysophosphati-dylethanolamine,all with the tendency to return to the normal level after icariin intervention.Icariin significantly downregulated the metabolic levels of the glycerophospholipid metabolites phosphatidylcholine,phosphatidylethanolamine,lysophosphatidylcholine and ly-sophosphatidylethanolamine,and upregulated those of amino acid metabolites tryptophan,leucine,and proline in the PC-3 cells.Conclusion:Icariin inhibits the proliferation of human PCa PC-3 cells,which may be closely related to its regulatory effect on lipid metabolism(glycerophospholipid metabolism)and amino acid metabolism.
