Compared with traditional therapies for chronic liver disease （CLD）， Bifidobacterium has the characteristics of multi-target intervention， high biosafety， and good host compatibility and provides new strategies for intervention of CLD progression in terms of microecological regulation. Various studies have shown that Bifidobacterium regulates liver homeostasis and exerts a therapeutic effect on CLD by regulating intestinal flora， maintaining antioxidation， promoting energy consumption， alleviating inflammation， improving glycolipid metabolism， and exerting an antitumor effect. This article systematically reviews the studies on Bifidobacterium in the treatment of CLD in China and globally， explores their different mechanisms， and elaborates on the interaction between related signaling pathways （such as the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 signaling pathway and the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase signaling pathway） and the liver， in order to provide a basis for probiotic intervention in liver pathology， as well as new ideas for the comprehensive treatment of CLD.

Objective To explore the application value of computed tomography (CT) three-dimensional reconstruction in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A total of 102 patients who underwent TKA in our hospital between April 2022 and April 2025 were enrolled and divided using a random number table into a traditional group (51 cases, routine preoperative evaluation) and a study group (51 cases, CT three-dimensional reconstruction-assisted surgery). The therapeutic efficacy at 3 months postoperatively and perioperative indicators were compared between the two groups. The hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle was measured preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were recorded preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Complications were documented. Results The excellent/good rate in the study group (92.16%) was higher than that in the traditional group (74.51%) (P<0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and hospital stay in the study group were (69.52 ± 7.11) min, (102.69 ± 8.54) mL, (167.33 ± 12.35) mL, and (10.93 ± 2.37) days, respectively, which were shorter than those in the traditional group [(78.45 ± 5.98) min, (108.36 ± 10.02) mL, (175.96 ± 14.93) mL, and (12.04 ± 1.95) days] (P<0.05). At 3 months postoperatively, the HKA angle was 178.02° ± 1.05° in the study group and 177.45° ± 1.34° in the traditional group, both were significantly improved compared with those before operation, with the study group showing better improvement (P<0.05). The HSS knee and WOMAC scores in both groups at 3 and 6 months postoperatively were improved compared with preoperative scores (P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months postoperatively, the study group showed higher HSS knee score and lower WOMAC score than the traditional group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group (3.92%) was lower than that in the traditional group (17.65%) (P<0.05). Conclusion TKA guided by CT three-dimensional reconstruction improved the excellent/good rate, optimized HKA angle and knee function, shortened operation time and hospital stay, reduced intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage volume, and decreased the incidence of complications.

Based on the"brain-heart-kidney-seminal chamber"axis theory to understand the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease(CHD)complicated with erectile dysfunction(ED),it is considered that the dysfunction of the"brain-heart-kidney-seminal chamber"axis is closely related to the occurrence of CHD complicated with ED,in which kidney deficiency is the initial factor;heart brain disorder,loss of consciousness is the key to the pathogenesis;the loss of seminal chamber is an important link in the pathogenesis.Under the guidance of the concept of"brain-heart-kidney-seminal chamber"axis,Cistanches Herba-Rehmannize Radix et Praeparata-Cuscutae Semen were used to invigorate the kidney and regulate the essence of the brain,heart,kidney and seminal chamber;Salviea Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Chuanxiong Rhizoma-Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus can reach the heart and brain,calm the heart and calm the mind;Cyathulae Radix-Scolopendra-Spatholobi Caulis can adjust and restore the seminal chamber,moistening the tendons and vibrating the flaccidity.In clinical practice,the whole medication should be used to make the brain,heart and kidney in harmony with the seminal chamber at the same time,and the drugs should be flexibly added and subtracted according to the specific symptoms of patients to enhance the curative effect of CHD patients with ED.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of extended abdominal wall resec-tion combined with reconstruction for abdominal wall aggressive fibromatosis (AF).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 70 patients with abdominal wall AF who were admitted to 3 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China, between January 2009 and July 2024 were collected. There were 6 males and 64 females, aged (36±13)years. All patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall reconstruction. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. Comparisons of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1)Surgical situations. All 70 patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall recons-truction. The operation time was 90(91)minutes and duration of postoperative hospital stay was 10(6)days. Of the 70 patients, 41 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus polypropylene mesh abdominal wall reconstruction, with a defect area of 60(54)cm2. The mesh placement method was uniformly Sublay repair. The remaining 29 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus direct suture repair, with a defect area of 34(31)cm2. There was a significant difference in the abdominal wall defect area between the two groups ( U=291.00, P<0.05). All 70 patients achieved R 0 resection. The distance from surgical margin to tumor edge was 2-3 cm in 39 cases and >3 cm in 31 cases. (2) Tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. All 70 patients were followed up for 78(90)months. During follow-up, 10 patients developed tumor recurrence (5 cases with mesh reinforced abdominal wall reconstruction and 5 cases with direct suture repair). Among them, one case was monitored, one case underwent radiotherapy, and neither received further surgical treatment. The remaining 8 patients underwent repeat R 0 resection, and no further recurrence occurred. There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the patients with mesh reconstruction and patients with direct suture repair ( χ2=0.06, P>0.05). The postoperative recurrence rate was 9.7%(3/31) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge >3 cm, versus 17.9%(7/39) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge of 2-3 cm, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.97, P>0.05). Sixty patients had no tumor recurrence. During follow-up, none of the 70 patients developed incisional hernia. Two patients experienced postoperative wound infection, and 6 cases developed postoperative chronic pain. Conclusion:Extended abdominal wall resection combined with reconstruction is safe and feasible for abdominal wall AF.

Gallbladder cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy of the biliary system, often diagnosed at the advanced stage due to its insidious early symptoms, leading to poor overall progno-sis. In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and their inte-gration into medicine have opened new avenues for the early diagnosis and precision treatment of gallbladder cancer. Currently, AI incorporating deep learning algorithm has significantly improved diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in ultrasound, computed tomography, and pathological analysis. However, clinical translation of AI models remains limited by challenges such as insufficient annota-ted data and limited model interpretability. Future research should focus on establishing multi-center data-sharing mechanisms, developing interpretability tools, and optimizing multimodal data integration strategies, thereby promoting the transformation of AI technologies from an auxiliary diagnostic tool to a core component of clinical decision-making.

Objectives:To systemically evaluate the efficacy and safety of His-Purkinje conduction system pacing(HPCSP,including His bundle pacing[HBP]and left bundle branch area pacing[LBBAP])combined with atrioventricular node ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation combined with heart failure.Methods:The PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Embase,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Data,VIP,and Yiigle were searched for studies on HPCSP combined with atrioventricular node ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation combined with heart failure since the established until July 31,2024.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 15.1.Results:A total of 13 studies were included with 1 071 patients,the success rate of HPCSP combined with atrioventricular node ablation was 93.1%.The meta-analysis results revealed that,in terms of effectiveness outcomes,compared with baseline,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(mean difference[MD]=-3.11,95%CI:-4.16 to-2.06,P<0.000 01)was significantly reduced,New York Heart Association(NYHA)cardiac function classification(MD=-1.36,95%CI:-1.48 to-1.24,P<0.000 01)was significantly decreased,and left ventricular ejection fraction(MD=9.86,95%CI:7.02 to 12.69,P<0.000 01)was significantly increased during follow-up.The pacing QRS duration was prolonged from baseline after atrioventricular node ablation(MD=7.83,95%CI:2.79 to 12.87,P=0.002);In terms of safety outcomes,HPCSP pacing thresholds remained stable(MD=0.07,95%CI:-0.01 to 0.15,P=0.11)and impedance was decreased(MD=-78.84,95%CI:-120.21 to-37.47,P=0.000 2)during operation and follow-up.The complication rate was 7.9%,the heart failure rehospitalization rate was 4.5%and the mortality rate was 5.8%.Compared with biventricular pacing(BVP),HPCSP was correlated with shorter pacing QRS duration(MD=-39.08,95%CI:-62.35 to-15.80,P=0.001)and higher left ventricular ejection fraction(MD=4.38,95%CI:0.37 to 8.40,P=0.03),there was no significant difference in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(MD=-9.11,95%CI:-19.93 to 1.72,P=0.100).During follow-up,LBBAP exhibited a lower pacing threshold than HBP(MD=0.61,95%CI:0.23 to 1.00,P=0.002);Endpoint event rates were similar between HBP and LBBP(RR=1.47,95%CI:0.83 to 2.60,P=0.190).Conclusions:Results of this meta-analysis demonstrate that HPCSP combined with atrioventricular node ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation combined with heart failure is effective and safe.HPCSP is associated with better ventricular electro-mechanical synchronization and cardiac function compared with BVP,and LBBAP pacing parameters are superior to HBP.

Objective To investigate the awareness of female patients with pelvic floor dysfunction regarding minimally invasive laser treatment of the reproductive tract and analyze the factors influencing their decision-making intentions,this study aims to provide a foundation for early treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction and further development in reproductive health management.Methods A convenience sampling method was employed to select 164 female patients with pelvic floor dysfunction who sought treatment at the Pelvic Rehabilitation Center of Dongguan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital between June 2023 and August 2024.The study utilized the Female Sexual Function Index,Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire,and Family Support Self-Assessment Scale to conduct a survey.Binary logistic stepwise regression analysis was conducted to investigate the factors influ-encing patients'inclination towards undergoing genital laser minimally invasive treatment.Results Among the 164 female patients,143(87.2%)expressed an intention to receive treatment,with 22.6%demonstrating a rela-tively clear understanding of genital laser minimally invasive treatment.Logistic regression analysis revealed that occupation significantly influenced treatment intention(P<0.05).Compared to healthcare professionals,individuals in the teaching profession(OR=10.81,95%CI:1.04～112.21),self-employed individuals(OR=20.34,95%CI:3.46～119.43),and those in other professions(OR=16.26,95%CI:4.05～65.29)were more inclined to express willingness for undergoing treatment.Furthermore,a lower score on the Incontinence Quality of Life scale was found to positively correlate with treatment intention(OR=0.96,95%CI:0.93～0.99).Conclusion Although patients express a high intention to undergo minimally invasive genital laser treatment,their overall awareness of the procedure remains insufficient.

Objective:Based on a propensity score matchied analysis, the impact of neoadjuvant therapy, namely the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with the targeted and immunotherapy, on the prognosis of patients undergoing liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:Clinical data of 226 patients who underwent surgical resection for HCC of China Liver Cancer (CNLC) stage Ib, IIa, IIb, and IIIa at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from February 2020 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 201 males and 25 females, aged 64.6±9.4 years. Patients were divided into the neoadjuvant therapy group ( n=25) and the direct surgery group ( n=201). Propensity score matching was used to analyze the liver fibrosis-4 score, platelet count, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and tumor number of the two groups. Postoperative pathological assessment of liver resection was performed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the prognosis, and the log-rank test was used to compare the survival rates of the two groups. Results:After propensity score 1: 3 matching, there were no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05) regarding the baseline characteristics of the two groups. Pathological assessment after hepatectomy: the complete pathological response rate was 8% (2/25), and the major pathological response rate was 36% (9/25). The recurrence-free survival rates at 1, 2, and 3 years after surgery in the direct surgery group and the neoadjuvant therapy group were 52.0%, 48.0%, and 42.7% versus 76.0%, 72.0%, and 68.0%, respectively ( χ2=4.76, P=0.029). The overall survival rates at 1, 2, and 3 years after surgery in the direct surgery group and the neoadjuvant therapy group were 80.0%, 78.7%, and 77.3% versus 100.0%, 96.0%, and 96.0%, respectively ( χ2=4.31, P=0.038). Conclusion:Neoadjuvant therapy could reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence and prolong patients survival
