Allergen-specific immunotherapy（AIT） remains the only therapeutic approach with the potential to modify the natural course of allergic rhinitis（AR）. Nevertheless, considerable inter-individual variability exists in patients'responses to AIT. To facilitate more reliable assessment of treatment efficacy, the China Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group（CRRCG） convened young and middle-aged nasal experts in China to formulate the present consensus. The recommended subjective outcome measures for AIT comprise symptom scores, medication scores, combined symptom and medication scores, quality-of-life assessments, evaluation of disease control, and assessment of comorbidities. Objective indicators may supplement these measures. Currently available objective approaches include skin prick testing, nasal provocation testing, and allergen exposure chambers. However, these methods remain constrained by practical limitations and are not yet appropriate for routine implementation in clinical efficacy evaluation. In addition, several biomarkers, including sIgE and the sIgE/tIgE ratio, sIgG4, serum IgE-blocking activity, IgA, cytokines and chemokines, as well as immune cell surface molecules and their functional activity, have been shown to have associations with AIT outcomes. While these biomarkers may complement subjective assessments, they are subject to significant limitations. Consequently, large-scale multicenter trials and real-world evidence are required to strengthen the evidence base. The present consensus underscores the necessity of integrating patients'subjective experiences with objective testing throughout the treatment process, thereby providing a more comprehensive and accurate framework for efficacy evaluation. Looking forward, future investigations should prioritize the incorporation of multi-omics data and artificial intelligence methodologies, which hold promise for overcoming current limitations in assessment strategies and for advancing both the standardization and personalization of AIT.

Neddylation is a crucial posttranslational modification that involves the attachment of neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8 (NEDD8) to a lysine residue in the substrate via the sequential actions of the E1 NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) (E1), E2 NEDD8-conjugating enzyme (E2), and E3 NEDD8-ligase (E3). The most extensively studied substrates of neddylation are members of the cullin family, which act as scaffold components for cullin ring E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs). Since cullin neddylation activates CRLs, which are frequently overactive in tumors, inhibiting neddylation has emerged as a promising strategy for developing novel antitumor therapies. This review explores the antitumor effects of inhibiting neddylation that leads to the inactivation of CRLs and provides a summary of known inhibitors that target protein-protein interactions (PPIs) within the neddylation enzymatic cascade.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of vascular resection and reconstruction during radical resection in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 151 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent radical resection in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from April 2018 to April 2025. Among them, there were 91 males and 60 females, with an age of (65.4±10.5) years. According to whether radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma was combined with vascular resection, the patients were divided into the vascular resection group ( n=19) and the control group ( n=132). Postoperative complications such as bleeding, biliary fistula, and thrombosis were recorded, along with intraoperative blood loss, R 0 resection rate, perioperative mortality, and recurrence rate at six months postoperatively. Results:The preoperative bilirubin reduction and intraoperative blood loss in the vascular resection group were 6 (31.6) and 200 (200, 200) ml, respectively, while those in the control group were 45 (34.1) and 200 (100, 200) ml, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). The combined liver resection, Billroth operation type Ⅰ-Ⅱ, and operation time in the vascular resection group were 18 (94.7), 1 (5.3), and 420 (377.5, 512.5) min, respectively, while those in the control group were 79 (59.8), 38 (28.8), and 322.5 (260, 410) min, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P<0.05). The R 0 resection, perioperative mortality rate, postoperative bleeding, postoperative biliary fistula, postoperative thrombosis, postoperative pathology (adenocarcinoma), and recurrence rate at 6 months after surgery in the vascular resection group were 16 (84.2), 2 (10.5), 2 (10.5), 3 (15.8), 1 (5.3), 18 (94.7), and 1 (5.9), respectively, while those in the control group were 103 (78.0), 5 (3.8), 5 (3.8), 25 (18.9), 2 (1.5), 121 (91.7), and 6 (4.7), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). The postoperative hospital stay, alanine aminotransferase on the 1st and 3rd day after surgery, and postoperative liver failure in the vascular resection group were 18 (13.5, 21.5) days, 619 (305.4, 1 634.0) U/L, and 1 (5.3), respectively, while those in the control group were 14 (11, 18), 254.5 (139.3, 468.3) U/L, and 3 (2.3), respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Vascular resection and reconstruction during radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma in patients has certain safety and efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the influence of changes in the cognitive load of anesthesia residents on the teaching effectiveness of high-fidelity scenario simulation.Methods:Eighty-seven anesthesia residents in a grade-A tertiary hospital from February to November 2022 were divided into groups A, B, and C according to the random number method. Three cases were selected from the anesthesia crisis resource teaching case library for high-fidelity simulation training for the three groups, respectively, using the crossover design to control the order of the cases. Each round of training consisted of pre-training instruction, simulation teaching, and post-training summarization and analysis. After three rounds of simulation teaching, cognitive load, anxiety status, test scores, and non-technical skills were evaluated for all the study participants. SPSS 20.0 was used to perform analysis of variance with repeated measures and Pearson's correlation analysis.Results:All the three groups showed significantly higher cognitive load and anxiety scores during the first-round simulation training than during the second-round and third-round simulation trianing. The test scores were significantly lower in the first round [(87.07±5.66), (88.38±5.41), (89.07±6.17)] than in the second round [(95.69±2.29), (96.10±2.08), (96.07±2.60)] and the third round [(96.34±1.45), (96.38±1.50), (96.17±1.73); all P<0.05]. The non-technical skill scores were also significantly lower in the first round [(37.24±7.58), (38.69±7.27), (39.24±8.74)] than in the second round [(46.17±5.55), (47.07±5.59), (47.59±6.74)] and the third round [(47.17±5.21), (48.48±5.38), (48.24±6.83); all P<0.05]. For simulations with the same cases, the trainees showed significantly higher cognitive load and anxiety scores and significantly lower test scores and non-technical skill scores in the first round than in the second and third rounds ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Anesthesia residents have higher levels of cognitive load and anxiety in the first scenario simulation training, which can reduce learning outcomes, and repeated simulation training can reduce trainees' cognitive load and anxiety.

Families and society should pay attention to the psychological feelings of participating in intergenerational raising of elderly people in urban communities, so as to promote successful aging of the elderly people.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of split domino donor auxiliary liver transplantation.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinco-pathological data of 3 liver transplantation recipients who were admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School and 1 liver transplantation recipient who was admitted to external hospital in September 2018 were collected. The first case was male, aged 22 years, who was diagnosed as type II citrullinemia (CTLN2). The second case undergoing liver transplantation in external hospital was male, aged 59 years, who was diagnosed as decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis. The third case was female, aged 52 years, who was diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma of right lobe of liver. The fourth case was female, aged 51 years, who was diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma of right lobe of liver. The donor liver from a brain and cardiac death donor was split in vitro into the left liver and the right liver, in which the right liver without middle hepatic vein, and the modified piggyback liver transplantation using the left liver and the classical orthotropic liver transplantation using the right liver was conducted on the first and the second case, respectively. The original liver of the first case was split in vivo into the left liver and the right liver, and the piggyback auxiliary liver transplantation using the left liver and the piggyback auxiliary liver transplantation using the right liver was conducted on the third and the fourth case who underwent extended right hemihepatectomy, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative situations; (2) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect liver function, liver imaging, complication and survival of recipients up to October 2021.Results:(1) Intraoperative situations.
