Objective To investigate the value of 3.0 T MRI in-phase/opposed-phase (IP-OP) imaging features in the quantitative assessment of hepatic steatosis after liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 115 patients who underwent liver transplantation and completed MRI IP-OP examination and liver biopsy within 3 months were retrospectively collected. According to the gold standard of pathological results, patients were divided into the steatosis group (n=18) and the non-steatosis group (n=97). The relative signal intensity of hepatic parenchyma was measured on MRI IP-OP sequences, and the hepatic fat fraction (HFF) was calculated. Differences in clinical data and imaging features between the two groups were compared, and the efficacy of HFF in the diagnosis of graft hepatic steatosis was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Among the 115 recipients, 18 cases were diagnosed with hepatic steatosis by liver biopsy, including 13 cases of mild steatosis, 3 cases of moderate steatosis and 2 cases of severe steatosis. Compared with the non-steatosis group, the steatosis group had a lower proportion of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma, higher proportions of HBV-related liver failure and alcoholic liver cirrhosis, and higher platelet levels (all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in hepatic imaging features between the two groups (all P<0.05). The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the quantitative value calculated by IP-OP in the diagnosis of graft hepatic steatosis was 0.925 (95% confidence interval 0.870-0.980). Conclusions 3.0 T MRI IP-OP sequence may accurately and non-invasively quantitatively assess the severity of hepatic steatosis after liver transplantation, which is of great value for the early detection of graft hepatic steatosis and the guidance of clinical intervention.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Danggui Shaoyaosan （DSS） on renal injury in db/db mice and its impact on endoplasmic reticulum stress （ERS） in renal tissues. MethodsThirty 8-week-old male db/db mice and six db/m mice were acclimated for one week， after which urinary microalbumin and blood glucose levels were monitored to establish a diabetic kidney disease （DKD） model. The model mice were randomly divided into a model group， an irbesartan group， and three DSS treatment groups with different doses （16.77， 33.54， and 67.08 g·kg^-1·d^-1）. A normal group was set as control. Each group was intragastrically administered with the corresponding drugs or saline for 8 weeks. After the intervention， general conditions were observed. Serum cystatin C （Cys-C）， 24-hour urinary total protein （24 h-UTP）， 24-hour urinary microalbumin （24 h-UMA）， urinary creatinine （Ucr）， and urea nitrogen （UUN） were measured. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was used to observe glomerular basement membrane （GBM） and ultrastructural changes of the endoplasmic reticulum （ER） in glomerular endothelial cells. Western blot， real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze renal tissue structure and the expression of GRP78， CHOP， and related markers. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the mice in the model group showed curled posture， sluggish response， poor fur condition， increased levels of Cys-C， 24 h-UTP， 24 h-UMA， and UUN （P<0.05）， while Ucr decreased （P<0.05）. The GBM was significantly thickened， with podocyte and foot process fusion. The protein expressions of GRP78， CHOP， and ATF6 were significantly upregulated （P<0.05）， the mRNA levels of GRP78 and CHOP increased （P<0.05）， and immunohistochemistry showed an enhanced GRP78 signal （P<0.05）. After treatment， the mice exhibited improved behavior， normalized GBM and podocyte structure， improved ER morphology and markedly better biochemical indicators. Western blot， Real-time PCR， and immunohistochemistry indicated that the ERS-related markers were downregulated in the DSS treatment groups （P<0.05）， suggesting alleviated ERS and improved renal function. ConclusionDSS can effectively ameliorate renal pathological damage in db/db mice， possibly by regulating ERS in glomerular endothelial cells， although the underlying signaling mechanisms require further investigation.

ObjectiveTo construct a stable monoclonal human embryonic kidney 293 （HEK293） cell line expressing recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅶ （rhFⅦ） and evaluate the expression level and procoagulant bioactivity of rhFⅦ. MethodsThe plasmid pCDNA3.1-EGFP-FⅦ was transfected into HEK293 cells to verify the effectiveness of the transfection system. The plasmid pCDNA3.1-FⅦ was transfected into HEK293 cells， and monoclonal stable transfected cell lines were selected using geneticin （G418）. The transcription of the FⅦ gene was identified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）. The expression level of rhFⅦ in the supernatant of the monoclonal stable transfected cell line was detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blot. The concentration of rhFⅦ was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， and the procoagulant activity of rhFⅦ was measured by human coagulation factor Ⅶ potency assay. ResultsHEK293 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-EGFP-FⅦ showed green fluorescence， indicating that rhFⅦ was successfully expressed in the supernatant of HEK293 cells after transient transfection with pcDNA3.1-FⅦ. The monoclonal stable transfected cell line was obtained by G418 screening. RT-PCR identified that the FⅦ gene was integrated into the genome of the monoclonal stable transfected cell line. The cell viability was good as detected by Cell Counting Kit-8， and a single band of rhFⅦ was obtained by purification of the cell supernatant. The highest rhFⅦ expression was （1.27±0.09） mg/L， and the highest procoagulant activity was （380.29±13.80）%. ConclusionThe monoclonal HEK293 cell lines which can express rhFⅦ protein efficiently and stably with excellent procoagulant bioactivity is successfully screened.

Esophageal cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor of the digestive tract in China, and radical surgery remains the cornerstone of its comprehensive treatment. However, multifactorial challenges such as postoperative gastrointestinal tract reconstruction, traumatic stress, and tumor-related metabolic disturbances render esophageal cancer patients highly susceptible to malnutrition. Perioperative nutritional support therapy plays a crucial role in enhancing surgical safety, improving clinical outcomes, and elevating patients' quality of life by regulating metabolic homeostasis, preserving organ function, and optimizing the immune microenvironment. This article reviews the mechanisms underlying malnutrition in esophageal cancer, methods for nutritional status assessment, and precision intervention pathways based on multi-omics evaluations. The aim is to strengthen clinicians' awareness of standardized perioperative nutritional management for esophageal cancer patients and promote its clinical implementation, thereby facilitating postoperative recovery and improving long-term quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To explore and establish a full-cycle management model for drug traceability codes that aligns with national policy requirements and the practical needs of healthcare institutions， thereby enhancing the refinement of drug management and the level of medication safety. METHODS A tripartite strategy integrating “hardware deployment， system transformation， and process re-engineering” was adopted. This involved the introduction of intelligent identification devices （personal digital assistant， high-definition industrial reader）， the modification of the hospital information system interface， and the re-engineering of workflows （drug warehousing， dispensing and distribution， drug withdrawal， uploading to the insurance platform） to achieve comprehensive， informatized collection and association of drug traceability codes throughout all stages. RESULTS A full-cycle management model for drug traceability codes was successfully established， realizing the goals of making drugs “traceable to their source， trackable in their distribution， and accountable in their responsibility”. The patient waiting time for medication dispensing before and after the implementation was [3.08（1.67，5.58）] min and [3.28（1.77，5.98）] min， respectively. Among them， the patient waiting time under the pre-preparation mode was [3.60（2.13，6.35）] min and [3.50（2.03，6.30）] min， respectively； the patient waiting time under the real-time mode was [2.05（0.83，4.03）] min and [2.78（1.18，5.38）] min， respectively； the number of dispensing errors was 3， 0， respectively； the staffing of relevant positions had not been increased. CONCLUSIONS The drug traceability code management model constructed from a full-cycle perspective effectively meets national policy requirements. It provides data support for refined hospital management and offers solid technical and procedural safeguards for ensuring patient medication safety and strengthening medical insurance fund supervision， demonstrating practical value.

High myopia has become a major public health concern worldwide, particularly in China and Southeast Asia. It is associated not only with a variety of fundus diseases but also with earlier onset and greater severity of cataracts, resulting in significant visual impairment. Phacoemulsification is currently the main surgical treatment for cataracts. However, intraoperative fluctuations in perfusion pressure and exposure to ultrasonic energy may affect the vitreoretinal structures, potentially accelerating the progression of fundus pathology after surgery in highly myopic eyes. This article summarizes current evidence on the progression of posterior scleral staphyloma, myopic maculopathy, and retinal detachment following phacoemulsification in highly myopic eyes.

EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common type of lung cancer, with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) being the standard first-line treatment. However, most patients with NSCLC eventually develop resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Studies on the mechanism underlying EGFR-TKI resistance have driven the development of personalized and precision medicine. Current strategies to address resistance include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and novel drug treatments. Selecting the appropriate personalized treatment plan is crucial for improving the survival rate and quality of life of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Thus, this study provides a brief review of the current status and future perspectives in the treatment of EGFR-mutant NSCLC after progression on EGFR-TKI therapy.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a significant hazard to public health in China because of its high incidence, high mortality, and high rate of advanced stages. Early detection and treatment of HCC by screening for high-risk populations is instrumental for enhancing survival rates among patients with HCC in China. Liver resection, local ablation, interventional therapy, radiotherapy, and drug therapy are all effective treatments for patients with HCC, and appropriate treatments can be selected based on different tumor stages. However, the condition of patients with HCC in China is complicated, and no single specialty offers the complete spectrum of care. The disease-centered multidisciplinary team for HCC is a crucial method to prolong the survival of patients with HCC and optimize their quality of life. Recent advancements in different disciplines have brought new opportunities in HCC treatments and altered multidisciplinary management approaches. Meanwhile, new challenges have emerged, and many problems have yet to be addressed.

ObjectiveTo screen key genes associated with neuroblastoma （NB） diagnosis and prognosis using the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database， and to investigate the expression and clinical significance of nucleoporin 93 （NUP93） in NB tissues. MethodsNB gene chip data （GSE73517， GSE49710， GSE19274） were retrieved from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes （DEGs） commonly upregulated in high-risk groups were screened. The R2 database was then used to assess the prognostic value of DEGs that were commonly upregulated in the MYCN amplification group. Finally， NUP93 expression levels in the tissues from 60 NB， 25 ganglioneuroblastoma （GNB）， and 26 ganglioneuroma （GN） cases were measured by immunohistochemistry . ResultsTwenty-five DEGs were identified as commonly upregulated in high-risk groups. Among these， 10 genes （SIVA1， NUP93， STIP1， LSM4， RAI14， MYOZ3， KNTC1， TNFRSF10B， TACC3 and CEP152） showed significantly higher expression in MYCN-amplified subgroups （P＜0.05）. Survival analysis revealed that high NUP93 expression was associated with shorter overall survival （HR = 4.0， 95% CI： 3.0，5.3， P = 1.80 × 10⁻³⁴）. Immunohistochemistry results revealed that NUP93 expression in NB tissues was significantly higher than in GNB and GN tissues （P＜0.001）. NUP93 expression was positively correlated with high mitosis-karyorrhexis index （MKI； P=0.040）， poor differentiation （P＜0.001）， and MYCN expression （r_s = 0.793， P ＜0.001）. ConclusionsHigh expression of NUP93 is associated with high MKI and poor differentiation， and predicts unfavorable prognosis in patients with NB， suggesting it may promote tumor progression by regulating MYCN. NUP93 has the potential to be a novel diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for NB.
