Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a widely utilized therapeutic approach for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, the clinical implementation is constrained by the stringent preparation conditions of radioembolization agents. Herein, we incorporated the superstable homogeneous iodinated formulation technology (SHIFT), simultaneously utilizing an enhanced solvent form in a carbon dioxide supercritical fluid environment, to encapsulate radionuclides (such as ¹³¹I,¹⁷⁷Lu, or ¹⁸F) with lipiodol for the preparation of radiolipiodol. The resulting radiolipiodol exhibited exceptional stability and ultra-high labeling efficiency (≥99%) and displayed notable intratumoral radionuclide retention and in vivo stability more than 2 weeks following locoregional injection in subcutaneous tumors in mice and orthotopic liver tumors in rats and rabbits. Given these encouraging findings, ¹⁸F was authorized as a radiotracer in radiolipiodol for clinical trials in HCC patients, and showed a favorable tumor accumulation, with a tumor-to-liver uptake ratio of ≥50 and minimal radionuclide leakage, confirming the feasibility of SHIFT for TARE applications. In the context of transforming from preclinical to clinical screening, the preparation of radiolipiodol by SHIFT represents an innovative physical strategy for radionuclide encapsulation. Hence, this work offers a reliable and efficient approach for TARE in HCC, showing considerable promise for clinical application (ChiCTR2400087731).

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To analyze the effects of citric acid anticoagulation on coagulation function and inflammatory factors in patients with sepsis and high-risk bleeding treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods:A total of 80 patients with sepsis with high-risk bleeding who received CRRT treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from February 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study objects, 40 cases were treated with low molecular weight heparin (control group) and 40 cases were treated with citric acid (observation group).Both groups were treated continuously, and the anticoagulant effect, coagulation function, electrolyte and inflammatory factor levels of the two groups were compared 7 d after medication.Results:The total effective rate of anticoagulation in the observation group after treatment was higher than that in the control group: 97.50% (39/40) vs. 75.00% (30/40), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 8.54, P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of activated partial thrombin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and prothrombin time (PT) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (31.08 ± 8.31) s vs. (41.76 ± 8.36) s, (23.41 ± 5.02) s vs. (29.05 ± 5.13) s, (15.47 ± 3.50) s vs. (19.96 ± 4.75) s, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the levels of potassium, chloride, sodium and calcium between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group :(2.60 ± 0.86) mg/L vs. (4.35 ± 1.12) mg/L, (0.11 ± 0.03) μg/L vs. (0.19 ± 0.05) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of citric acid anticoagulant in patients with sepsis and high-risk bleeding treated with CRRT can achieve significant curative effect, which can not only improve the anticoagulant effect, stabilize coagulation function and electrolyte level, but also down-regulate the level of inflammatory factors.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of selenoprotein genes in the patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)and the possible regulatory mechanisms.Methods The dataset GSE177477 was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus,consisting of a symptomatic group(n=11),an asymptomatic group(n=18),and a healthy control group(n=18).The dataset was preprocessed to screen the differentially expressed genes(DEG)related to COVID-19,and gene ontology functional annotation and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis were performed for the DEGs.The protein-protein interaction network of DEGs was established,and multivariate Logistic regression was employed to analyze the effects of selenoprotein genes on the presence/absence of symptoms in the patients with COVID-19.Results Compared with the healthy control,the symptomatic COVID-19 patients presented up-regulated expression of GPX1,GPX4,GPX6,DIO2,TXNRD1,SELENOF,SELENOK,SELENOS,SELENOT,and SELENOW and down-regulated ex-pression of TXNRD2 and SELENON(all P＜0.05).The asymptomatic patients showcased up-regulated expres-sion of GPX2,SELENOI,SELENOO,SELENOS,SELENOT,and SELENOW and down-regulated expression of SELP(all P＜0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the abnormally high expression of GPX1(OR=0.067,95％CI=0.005-0.904,P=0.042)and SELENON(OR=56.663,95％CI=3.114-856.999,P=0.006)was the risk factor for symptomatic COVID-19,and the abnormally high expres-sion of SELP was a risk factor for asymptomatic COVID-19(OR=15.000,95％CI=2.537-88.701,P=0.003).Conclusions Selenoprotein genes with differential expression are involved in the regulation of COVID-19 development.The findings provide a new reference for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) gene expression in colorectal cancer tissues and survival prognosis, and to construct and evaluate a nomogram prediction model of GPXs for survival prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.Methods:The GPXs gene expresion data and other clinical data of 620 patients with colorectal cancer (455 cases of colon cancer and 165 cases of rectal cancer) were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and the GPXs gene expression data of 820 normal people were downloaded as controls, preprocessed by R language, and the gene expression data were analyzed for differential expression. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between GPXs gene expression and tumor mutation burden (TMB) in colorectal cancer tissues. Cox risk regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of survival and prognosis of colorectal cancer patients. Nomogram models were constructed to predict overall survival (OS) of colon cancer and rectal cancer patients, and its predictive performance was evaluated by calibration curve.Results:In the GPXs family, there were statistically significant differences in the mRNA expressions of GPX1, GPX2, GPX3, GPX4, GPX5, GPX7 and GPX8 between colon cancer patients and normal population, and the mRNA expressions of GPX1, GPX2, GPX4 and GPX8 in colon cancer patients were higher than those in normal population (all P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the mRNA expressions of GPX1, GPX2, GPX3, GPX4, GPX7 and GPX8 between rectal cancer patients and normal population, and the mRNA expressions of GPX1, GPX2, GPX4, GPX7 and GPX8 in rectal cancer patients were higher than those in normal population (all P<0.05) . Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that GPX2 ( r s=-0.27, P<0.001) and GPX7 ( r s=-0.11, P=0.043) expressions were negatively correlated with TMB in colon cancer. There were no significant correlations between GPXs genes expressions and TMB in rectal cancer tissues (all P>0.05) . In colon cancer, univariate analysis showed that GPX3 ( HR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.05-1.43, P=0.012) , GPX4 ( HR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.01-1.92, P=0.045) , age ( HR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04, P=0.010) and pTNM-stage ( HR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.43-2.21, P<0.001) were the influencing factors of OS. Multivariate analysis showed that GPX4 ( HR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.09-3.51, P=0.024) , age ( HR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.00-1.04, P=0.042) and pTNM-stage ( HR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.21-2.15, P=0.001) were the independent risk factors of OS. In rectal cancer, univariate analysis showed that age ( HR=1.08, 95% CI: 1.04-1.13, P<0.001) was the influencing factor of OS. Multivariate analysis showed that GPX7 ( HR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.22-0.88, P=0.020) , GPX8 ( HR=3.17, 95% CI: 1.63-6.17, P=0.001) and age ( HR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.16, P=0.001) were the independent influencing factors of OS. The consistency index (C-index) of the nomogram model for predicting OS in patients with colon cancer and rectal cancer were 0.71 (95% CI: 0.63-0.79) and 0.88 (95% CI: 0.82-0.94) respectively. The calibration curve showed that the prediction curve of the two models had a good fit with the real curve. Conclusion:GPX4 is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of colon cancer patients. Patients with high GPX4 expression have a poor prognosis. GPX7 and GPX8 are independent prognostic factors for rectal cancer patients, and the rectal cancer patients with low GPX7 expression and high GPX8 expression have poor prognosis. The nomogram constructed based on the above factors can better predict the prognosis of patients with colon cancer and rectal cancer.

Closed-loop hospital management can effectivly cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to ensure the continuity of treatments for hemodialysis patients under closed-loop management and minimize possible medical and infection risks, Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University and 9 hospitals in Shanghai established a hemodialysis alliance in January 2021.The alliance optimized hemodialysis resources within the region through overall planning by preparing sites, materials and personnel shifts in advance, and establishing management systems and work processes to ensure that patients could be quickly and orderly diverted to other blood dialysis centers for uninterrupted high-quality hemodialysis services, in case that some hemodialysis centers in the alliance under closed-loop management.From November 2021 to April 2022, 317 of 1 459 hemodialysis patients in the alliance were diverted to other centers for treatment, accumulating 1 215 times/cases of treatments without obvious adverse reactions. The practice could provide a reference for medical institutions to quickly establish mutual support mode under major public health events.
