Liver transplantation is the standard treatment for end-stage liver disease, but it has long been limited by the shortage of donor livers. In clinical practice, three types of donor liver (domino donor livers, small-for-size grafts, and steatotic donor livers) are limited due to issues such as metabolic defects, insufficient volume, and poor quality. This article systematically reviews the definition, clinical application, and bottlenecks of the above three types of donor livers and elaborates on the unique value and clinical practice advances of auxiliary liver transplantation (a special surgical procedure that retains part or all of the recipient’s own liver and superimposes donor liver function support) in avoiding small-for-size syndrome, compensating for metabolic defects, and expanding the application of marginal livers, in order to provide a targeted clinical practice reference for optimizing liver transplantation strategies for end-stage liver disease and improving donor liver utilization rate.

Ischemic stroke(IS)is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by sudden obstruction or occlusion of cerebral blood vessels,and is one of the major causes of disability and death in China.The main therapeutic goal is to restore blood flow as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms,and intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy are often adopted.However,post-thrombolysis blood recirculation is prone to lead to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(CIRI).CIRI is a key pathological process in IS,so it is critical to find ways to mitigate CIRI.Mitochondrial biogenesis(MB)coordinates synthe-sis of new mitochondria from existing ones.When cerebral ischemia occurs,the body maintains mitochondrial homeostasis by ac-tivating MB,alleviates oxidative stress and inflammatory response,and prevents the body from further damage.Understanding the molecular mechanism of MB and its activation pathway will provide a new direction for the treatment of CIRI.This review summarizes the molecular mechanism of MB,the protective mechanism of MB for CIRI by maintaining mitochondrial homeosta-sis,inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation after IS,and the potential therapeutic targets to improve CIRI by activating MB.It will provide new ideas for clinical treatment of CIRI.

Limb spasticity is a common complication after stroke,with clinical manifestations such as increased muscle tone,limb stiffness and pain,which reduces the quality of patients'daily life and increases the economic burden.Currently,scales,surface electromyography and biomechanical methods are mostly used to assess limb spasticity in clinical practice,but clinical scales rely on experience and are highly subjective;surface electromyography is prone to compensations and test errors;and biomechanical methods are more restrictive.Musculoskeletal ultrasound is not only capable of detecting muscle parameters and providing quantitative information such as muscle hardness and elasticity,but also has the unique advantages of high-resolution and real-time imag-ing,which has been increasingly used in clinical diagnosis and treatment.In this paper,we review the evidence related to musculoskeletal ultrasound and limb spasticity assessment,with the aim of exploring a simple and reasonable quantitative assessment method,which will provide some thoughts for the future clinical assessment of limb spasticity.

Sonodynamic therapy(SDT)has garnered significant attention in cancer treatment modalities due to its superior tissue penetration capabilities,non-invasive approach,and controllability. SDT operates by utilizing sonosensitizers and ultrasound-responsive devices to induce the production of reactive oxygen species(ROS)under ultrasound stimulation,thereby eliciting immunogenic cell death(ICD)in tumor cells and the release of damage-associated molecular patterns,which in turn trigger an immune response against the tumor.However,the tumor microenvironment often results in a relatively weak immune response post-cancer treatment. To address this issue,extensive research is being conducted on combining SDT with immunotherapy,particularly focusing on immune checkpoint blockade(ICB)therapies. This review synthesizes the mechanisms of SDT,its integration with immunotherapy,especially ICB therapies,and the current state of research,with the objective of providing strategic guidance for the advancement of sonodynamic immunotherapy.
