Robotic telesurgery is a technology that doctors use advanced surgical robots and network communication technology to carry out surgery on patients in different places. Robotic telesurgery can sink high-quality medical resources to serve patients in remote areas， and can also be used for emergency rescue， disaster relief， battlefield and other special occasions to provide patients with timely， effective and high-quality surgical treatment， as well as reducing medical costs and patient transport risks. With the rapid development of the fifth generation wireless network， low latency and high broadband communication are provided for robotic telesurgery， and faster and more accurate real-time data transmission makes it possible to carry out complex surgery remotely. In this review， the current situation of robotic telesurgery at home and abroad is described， and the future of robotic telesurgery is prospected.

Chronic pancreatitis （CP） is a common disease in clinical practice characterized by progressive inflammatory fibrosis of the pancreas. Gut microbiota， known as the “second genome” of humans， bidirectionally modulates the progression of fibrosis in CP via the gut-pancreas axis. This article systematically elaborates on the characteristics of gut microbiota during the progression of CP and its molecular mechanism in mediating pancreatic fibrosis through bacterial translocation， metabolites， immune regulatory networks， and microbe-pancreatic stellate cell interactions， with a focus on the pivotal role of short-chain fatty acids and inflammatory cytokine networks in pancreatic stellate cell activation and extracellular matrix deposition. In addition， this article explores the potential value of gut microbiota-targeted interventions in the prevention and treatment of CP fibrosis， such as probiotics， prebiotics， and fecal microbiota transplantation， and discusses the translational potential of using multi-omics technologies to identify diagnostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets for CP， in order to provide new ideas for the precise diagnosis and treatment of CP.

Short-chain fatty acids （SCFA） are the main metabolic products generated by the fermentation of dietary fiber by gut microbiota. Studies have shown that SCFA not only play a role in energy metabolism， but also act as important signaling molecules， exhibiting a significant potential in alleviating liver and pancreatic fibrosis. The core mechanism of SCFA mainly involves the regulation of various key signaling pathways by activating G protein-coupled receptors and inhibiting the activity of histone deacetylase， thereby suppressing the activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cell （HSC） and pancreatic stellate cell （PSC）， which is a key link in fibrosis formation. In addition， SCFA can effectively alleviate tissue inflammation response， improve intestinal barrier function， and regulate gut microbiota balance， thus indirectly preventing the process of fibrosis mediated by the “gut-liver/pancreas axis”. Compared with the research on SCFA in liver fibrosis， studies on their role in pancreatic fibrosis are limited. Given that HSC and PSC are highly homologous， the transcription factors and proteins that have been confirmed in liver fibrosis-related studies are also similarly expressed in PSC， suggesting that they may also influence the activation of PSC. This article systematically summarizes the recent advances in the research on SCFA in alleviating liver and pancreatic fibrosis， in order to provide new perspectives for exploring the mechanism of pancreatic fibrosis and developing related interventional strategies.

ObjectiveType I interferon (IFN-I) signaling is essential for antiviral innate immunity, yet its sustained or excessive activation contributes to the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases and interferonopathies, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Aicardi-Goutières syndrome. Current strategies targeting this pathway, exemplified by JAK inhibitors, act mainly on downstream signal transduction and provide limited direct control over upstream IFN-I production, while also carrying the risk of broad immunosuppression. Phyllanthus emblica L. has long been used in traditional medicine for inflammatory disorders, but the bioactive constituent responsible for its regulation of IFN-I signaling and the underlying molecular mechanism have not been clearly defined. This study aimed to identify the active anti-inflammatory component of P. emblica and to characterize its mechanism of action on the IFN-I pathway in macrophages. MethodsActive components ofP. emblica and their candidate targets were screened by network pharmacology using the TCMSP and DrugBank databases (oral bioavailability≥30%, drug-likeness≥0.18) and intersected with inflammation-related genes retrieved from public databases. The predicted interaction between EGCG and IFN-I pathway proteins (TBK1, IRF3, STAT1) was evaluated by molecular docking, with BX795 and GSK8612 used as reference TBK1 inhibitors. Mechanistic experiments were performed in THP-1-derived macrophages and primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). Upstream signaling was activated by transfection of the nucleic acid analogs poly(I∶C) and poly(dA∶dT) or by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, whereas downstream signaling was activated by exogenous IFN-β. An siRNA-mediated TREX1 knockdown model was used to mimic endogenous nucleic acid-driven interferonopathy. Expression of IFN-β1 and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) was measured by RT-qPCR, protein phosphorylation by Western blot, and IFN-β secretion by ELISA. Cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) and drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) were used to probe the interactionbetween EGCG and IRF3. ResultsNetwork pharmacology identified (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) as a candidate IFN-I-suppressive constituent of P. emblica, with predicted binding to TBK1, IRF3, and STAT1. Molecular docking yielded binding energies of -9.2, -7.2, and -8.2 kcal/mol for TBK1, IRF3, and STAT1, respectively, indicating an affinity for TBK1 comparable to that of the reference inhibitors BX795 (-5.7 kcal/mol) and GSK8612 (-6.4 kcal/mol). EGCG suppressed IFN-β1 and ISG mRNA expression under poly (I∶C), poly (dA∶dT), and LPS stimulation in both THP-1 macrophages and BMDM. At the protein level, EGCG reduced the phosphorylation of TBK1 and IRF3 without affecting the levels of the upstream sensors cGAS and RIG-I, and lowered IFN-β secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. CETSA and DARTS showed that EGCG did not enhance the thermal stability or protease resistance of IRF3, indicating that its effect on IRF3 is indirect. Following IFN-β stimulation, prolonged EGCG treatment reduced STAT1 phosphorylation in a time-dependent manner without an apparent change in IRF9, and partially attenuated ISG transcription; this effect was not monotonicly concentration-dependent, and CXCL10 showed the most consistent suppression. In TREX1-knockdown cells, the elevated mRNA levels of ISG15, ISG56, and CXCL10 were reduced by EGCG. ConclusionEGCG suppresses IFN-I responses by concurrently inhibiting TBK1-IRF3-dependent IFN‑β production and JAK-STAT1-mediated downstream transcription. These in vitro findings provide a mechanistic basis for the anti-inflammatory use of P. emblica in traditional medicine and identify EGCG as a candidate for further evaluation in interferon-driven autoimmune disease models.

CRISPR-Cas-based biosensing systems have become important platforms for rapid nucleic acid detection because of their programmable sequence recognition and high specificity. In many diagnostic workflows, the CRISPR reaction is coupled with polymerase chain reaction or isothermal pre-amplification to enrich low-abundance targets before readout. This design improves sensitivity, but it also introduces additional primers and enzymes, requirements for temperature control and reaction compatibility, and a higher demand for contamination management. These factors make the whole assay less convenient for integrated and field-deployable point-of-care testing. Developing pre-amplification-free CRISPR assays is therefore not simply a pursuit of shorter protocols, but a way to simplify molecular diagnosis at the system level, especially in settings where rapid decisions, closed workflows, and minimal manual operation are required. Microfluidic devices provide an important engineering route for this purpose. Their small reaction volumes, precise fluid manipulation, high-throughput partitioning, and compatibility with portable readout make it possible to integrate target confinement, reaction control, signal acquisition, and quantitative analysis on a chip. Droplet microfluidics and microwell arrays can divide a sample into large numbers of independent microreactors, enabling digital counting of rare recognition events. Continuous-flow, centrifugal, and paper-based microfluidic formats further provide options for automated operation, low-cost fabrication, and on-site use. In this context, microfluidics is not only a signal-enhancement method, but also a platform that connects CRISPR molecular recognition with practical assay implementation. This review summarizes recent progress in microfluidic-based pre-amplification-free CRISPR-Cas biosensing for rapid detection. We focus on four related technical directions. crRNA engineering, including spacer-length tuning, multi-crRNA design, chemical modification, and allosteric regulation, can improve recognition kinetics, nuclease stability, and mismatch discrimination. Digital microfluidic detection based on droplets or microwell arrays converts single-molecule recognition events into countable positive partitions, thereby improving quantitative capability without target pre-amplification. Physical signal transduction interfaces couple CRISPR activity to electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent, fluorescent, or surface-enhanced Raman scattering readouts, making weak molecular signals easier to detect with portable instruments. On-chip cascade signal amplification strategies further enhance output intensity through enzymatic reactions, DNA circuits, nanomaterials, or cross-domain amplification modules while avoiding direct amplification of the target nucleic acid. Together, these strategies show that the performance of a pre-amplification-free assay depends not only on biochemical recognition, but also on how the reaction is confined, amplified, transduced, and operated. In addition to describing these mechanisms, this review compares different strategies in terms of sensitivity improvement, operational complexity, cost, and suitability for point-of-care testing. Representative applications in food authenticity identification and rapid pathogen screening are also discussed to illustrate how these platforms perform in practical scenarios. Finally, we analyze the remaining challenges, including the detection of low-abundance targets in complex matrices, on-chip sample preparation, device-to-device reproducibility, long-term reagent storage, and standardization. Future development will likely depend on tighter integration of sample processing, CRISPR reaction, signal readout, and data interpretation, ultimately moving pre-amplification-free CRISPR diagnostics toward automated and user-friendly sample-to-answer systems.

Objective:To explore the deubiquitination modification of the deubiquitinase BRCC3 in rats with neuropathic pain (NPP) treated with meridian tuina of Zhuang medicine and its analgesic molecular mechanism.Methods:Rats were divided into normal group, sham-operation group, model group, sham-tuina group, and meridian tuina of Zhuang medicine group using a random number table method, with 9 rats in each group. Except for the normal and sham operation groups, spinal nerve ligation models were prepared in all other groups. On the first day after surgery, intervention was carried out on the meridian tuina of Zhuang medicine and sham-tuina groups for 14 days, while the other three groups were not intervened; the paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) and paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL) of each group of rats were measured at 0 days before operation, 1, 7, and 14 days after operation. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of BRCC3 and NLRP3 proteins in spinal cord tissue, and ELISA was used to detect the level of IL-1β in serum.Results:On postoperative 7 and 14 d, compared with the model group, the meridian tuina of Zhuang medicine group showed an increase in PWMT and PWTL, a decrease in NLPR3 and BRCC3 expression in spinal cord tissue, and a decrease in serum IL-1β levels ( P<0.05). Compared with the sham-tuina group, the meridian tuina of Zhuang medicine group showed an increase in PWMT and PWTL, a decrease in NLRP3 protein expression in spinal cord tissue, and a decrease in IL-1β levels in serum ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Meridian tuina of Zhuang medicine can alleviate pain sensitivity in SNL model rats, and its mechanism is related to the inhibition of the expression of deubiquitinase BRCC3 by meridian massage of Zhuang medicine, which increases the ubiquitination level of NLRP3 and hinders its activation, thereby blocking the immune inflammatory response mediated by inflammatory factors.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of oral use combined with targeted transdermal delivery of Osteoking in treating knee osteoarthritis(KOA)of cold-damp blockage type.Methods A total of 120 patients with KOA of cold-damp blockage type who admitted to Hunan Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese And West Medicine from September 2022 to September 2023 were randomly divided into the control group,oral use group,transdermal delivery group and combination group according to the random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Celecoxib Capsule orally,the oral use group was treated with Osteoking orally,the transdermal delivery group was treated with Osteoking by targeted transdermal delivery,and the combination group was treated with oral use combined with targeted transdermal delivery of Osteoking.One course of treatment covered 12 days,and all of the four groups were treated for two continuous courses.Before and after treatment,the scores of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)for pain,Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)for joint function,36-Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36)for quality of life(QOL),as well as the levels of serum interleukin 1β(IL-1β),interleukin 6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)were observed in the patients of each group.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of patients in each group were evaluated.Results(1)After two courses of treatment,the total effective rate of the combination group was 96.67%(29/30),which was higher than those of the control group[73.33%(22/30)],oral use group and transdermal delivery group[both being 70.00%(21/30)],and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).However,no statistically significant difference of the total effective rate was presented among the control group,oral use group,and transdermal delivery group(P>0.05).(2)After treatment,the scores of TCM syndrome,VAS for pain and WOMAC for joint function in the four groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).The intergroup comparison showed that the scores of TCM syndrome,VAS for pain and WOMAC in the combination group were lower than those in the other three groups(P<0.05),while no statistically significant difference of the scores of TCM syndrome,VAS for pain and WOMAC were presented among the control group,oral use group,and transdermal delivery group(P>0.05).(3)After treatment,the QOL scores of the eight dimensions of SF-36 such as physical functioning(PF),bodily pain(BP),general health(GH),vitality(VT),role-physical(RP),social functioning(SF),role-emotional(RE),and mental health(MH)in the four groups were significantly increased compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).The intergroup comparison showed that the scores of each dimension of SF-36 in the combination group were significantly higher than those in the other three groups(P<0.05),while no statistically significant difference of the dimension score of SF-36 was presented among the control group,oral use group,and transdermal delivery group(P>0.05).(4)After treatment,the levels of serum inflammatory factors of IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α in the four groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).The intergroup comparison showed that the decrease of serum levels of inflammatory factors in the combination group were significantly superior to those in the other three groups(P<0.05),and the decrease in the control group and oral use group were all superior to those in the transdermal delivery group(P<0.05),while the difference between the control group and oral use group was not statistically significant(P>0.05).(5)During the trial,no serious adverse reactions were found in the patients of four groups,which is of high safety.Conclusion Oral use combined with targeted transdermal delivery of Osteoking is effective on improving the joint pain,joint function and QOL of patients with KOA of cold-damp blockage type,and can speed up the rehabilitation of patients.Its therapeutic mechanism may be related to the decrease of the expression level of inflammatory factors.

In recent years,with the continuous advancement of deep space exploration missions,astronauts have been increasingly exposed to complex and extreme environmental factors in space,such as microgravity,space radiation,circadian rhythm disruption,and confined isolation.These conditions can easily induce brain dysfunction in astronauts,manifesting as cognitive decline,emotional disturbances,sleep disorders,and neuroinflammatory responses.Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),characterized by its holistic regulation and syndrome differentiation-based treatment principles,exhibits multi-target regulation and systemic coordination,and has attracted growing attention in the field of brain function protection.This study systematically reviews the protective applications and research progress of TCM and related techniques in both actual spaceflight missions and simulated space environment models against brain functional disorders.The underlying mechanisms and future prospects are discussed,with the aim of providing insights for safeguarding astronauts'brain health and laying a theoretical foundation for the precise intervention and systematic protection strategies of TCM in future deep space missions.

Objective To analyze the relationship between frailty and acute kidney injury(AKI)after hip fracture surgery in the elderly.Methods A total of 405 elderly patients who underwent hip fracture surgery in Jieyang People's Hospital from August 2021 to January 2023 were retrospectively analysed.According to the modified frailty index(mFI),they were divided into frail group(mFI≥0.27,n=112)and non-frail group(mFI<0.27,n=293).Postoperative AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease:Improving Global Outcomes(KDIGO)criteria.After 1:1 propensity score matching(PSM),100 cases in each group were successfully matched.Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models,propensity score adjustment,PSM,inverse probability of treatment weighting(IPTW),standardized mortality ratio weighting(SMRW),pairwise algorithm(PA)weighting,and overlap weighting(OW)methods were used to analyze the relationship between frailty and postoperative AKI.Stratified analyses were performed according to age(≥80 or<80 years),gender,whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors(ACEI)/angiotensin Ⅱreceptor antagonists(ARB)were used,and whether intraoperative hypotension occurred.Results After PSM,there were no significant differences between the two groups in age,sex,surgical type,ACEI/ARB,blood urea nitrogen,serum creatinine,intraoperative blood loss,and intraoperative hypotension[standardized mean difference(SMD)<0.1].In both the original cohort and the matched cohort,the incidence of AKI was higher in frail group than in non-frail group(25.9%vs.8.9%,P<0.001;28.0%vs.11.0%,P=0.002).Analysis of the risk of postoperative AKI in elderly hip fracture patients in frail group found that compared with the non-frail group,in the univariate logistic regression model the odds ratio(OR)and a 95%confidence interval(CI)for the frail group was 3.59(2.00-6.43),P<0.001,and in the multivariable logistic regression model,the OR(95%CI)for frail group was 3.04(1.55-5.95),P=0.001.After adjustment for propensity score,the OR(95%CI)for frail group was 2.85(1.52-5.34),P=0.001,and the OR(95%CI)for frail group after PSM was 3.15(1.47-6.75),P=0.003.After IPTW,SMRW,PA weighting,and OW,the OR(95%CI)for frail group were 2.48(1.37-4.50),2.43(1.41-4.19),2.63(1.25-5.54),and 2.69(1.07-6.78),respectively,with P<0.05.The interaction tests were not statistically significant for age,sex,use of ACEI/ARB,and intraoperative hypotension(P>0.05).Conclusion In elderly patients with hip fractures,preoperative frailty may be a risk factor for postoperative AKI.

Objective To investigate the postoperative efficacy of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair(LHHR)combined with Toupet or Dor fundoplication for the treatment of esophageal hiatal hernia(HH).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the case data of HH patients who underwent LHHR combined with Toupet(Toupet group,n=53)and Dor(Dor group,n=53)fundoplication between December 2018 and December 2022 in Department of General Surgery of Gansu Provincial Hospital.Intraoperative and postoperative recovery outcomes of both groups were observed.We analyzed and compared the incidence of dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire(GERD-Q)scores at preoperative and postoperative intervals of 1 month,6 months,and 1 year.The incidence of postoperative complications and the 1-year recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Additionally,factors influencing postoperative dysphagia within the first month were examined.Results The differences between the two groups in operation time,intraoperative bleeding,postoperative ventilation time,postoperative extubation time and hospitalization time were not statistically significant(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of immediate postoperative dysphagia in two groups(P>0.05).Furthermore,the differences between the two groups in the incidence of postoperative complications,such as bloating,abdominal pain and diarrhea,were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The incidence of dysphagia in Toupet group was higher than that in Dor group at 1 month postoperatively,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.017);but the difference in the incidence of dysphagia between the two groups at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively was not statistically significant(P=0.767,1.000).The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that both surgical procedure(OR=2.613,95%CI 1.141-5.983,P=0.023)and esophageal contractile reserve function(OR=2.921,95%CI 1.203-7.095,P=0.018)were independent risk factors for the incidence of dysphagia in patients with HH at 1 month after surgery.Compared with the preoperative period,the GERD-Q symptom scores were lower in both groups at 1 month,6 months,and 1 year postoperatively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups at the same time point(Fintergroup=0.334,P=0.565).The difference between the two groups in 1-year postoperative recurrence rates was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusions LHHR combined with Toupet or Dor fundoplication are both safe and effective surgical procedures for the treatment of HH,with excellent reflux control,fewer complications and lower recurrence rates,but Toupet fundoplication is more likely to have postoperative short-term dysphagia than Dor fundoplication.
