Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (PELNs), characterized by a natural lipid bilayer membrane, have rapidly emerged as a prominent research frontier in medicine owing to their unique biological properties and robust therapeutic potential. This review comprehensively examines the biological profiles, mechanistic functions, and recent engineering advancements of PELNs. In terms of composition, PELNs are uniquely enriched in plant-specific glycolipids, phosphatidylserine, secondary metabolites, and highly stable 2'-O-methylated miRNAs. This distinct molecular makeup endows them with exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and the capacity for cross-species molecular communication. Mechanistically, PELNs demonstrate profound anti-inflammatory efficacy by suppressing the NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. They also serve as potent immune modulators, driving macrophage M1/M2 polarization and regulating T cell activity. Additionally, PELNs exhibit promising antitumor capabilities, targeting malignancies via reactive oxygen species (ROS) induction, TRAIL pathway activation, and tumor microenvironment remodeling. Crucially, the plant miRNAs encapsulated within PELNs remain highly stable in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing them to selectively alter gene expression in specific gut microbiota communities. This interaction deeply influences host immunity and metabolism, highlighting the vital role in cross-species regulation. Advancements in bioengineering have further expanded the clinical utility of PELNs. Targeted delivery efficiency can be significantly amplified via surface functionalization (e.g., folate and RGD sequences) and state-of-the-art drug loading technologies such as sonication and electroporation. Consequently, engineered PELNs surpass traditional synthetic nanocarriers in penetrating natural physiological barriers, particularly for oral and transdermal drug administration. Despite these advantages, clinical translation is currently hindered by the lack of standardized isolation protocols, challenges in scalable manufacturing, and the need for robust quality control frameworks. Looking forward, the integration of multi-omics approaches and AI-driven “molecular fingerprinting”—coupled with the design of synthetic biomimetic vesicles—will be instrumental in overcoming these bottlenecks, ultimately establishing PELNs as a next-generation platform for precision medicine and targeted nanotherapeutic delivery.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of Juanbitang hot compress pack combined with intensive rehabilitation training in stroke patients with hemiplegia. MethodsA total of 80 stroke patients with hemiplegia were selected and assigned into a control group (40 cases) and an observation group (40 cases) according to the random number table method. The control group received conventional rehabilitation training and nursing intervention,while the observation group was additionally treated with Juanbitang hot compress pack. The two groups were compared in terms of the neurological function (national institute of health stroke scale score,NIHSS score),muscle strength,motor function (fugl-meyer assessment scale score,FMA score),daily living activity (modified barthel index,MBI),balance ability (berg balance scale score,BBS score),trunk control ability (Sheikh Trunk Control Test score,Sheikh TCT score),and homocysteine (Hcy) level before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment,the observation group had lower NIHSS score and Hcy level than the control group (P<0.05). The total response rate of the observation group (97.50%) was higher than that of the control group (77.50%). The scores of upper limb and lower limb FMA,MBI,BBS,and Sheikh TCT in the observation group were all higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe application of Juanbitang hot compress pack combined with rehabilitation training can effectively improve the neurological function,muscle strength,motor function,daily living ability,balance ability,and trunk control ability and reduce the Hcy level in stroke patients with hemiplegia,demonstrating enhanced clinical efficacy.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of robot-assisted laparoscopic technology via abdominal approach for patients with primary retroperitoneal tumors.Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted for the clinical data of 71 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic resection of primary retroperitoneal tumor via abdominal approach at the Department of Urology of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2015 to December 2023. There were 35 male and 36 female patients. The age ( M(IQR)) was 56(21) years (range: 21 to 83 years). The median tumor diameter was 46 (31) mm (range: 15 to 134 mm). Postoperative pathology revealed 58 benign and 13 malignant cases. Patients were divided into non-adherent group ( n=47) and adherent group ( n=24) based on whether the tumor was adhered to major organs or vessels. Perioperative and postoperative situation were compared between the two groups. Data comparisons were conducted using independent samples t-test for normally distributed continuous variables, Mann-Whitney U tests for non-normally distributed data, χ2 test or Fisher′s exact test for categorical variables. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was employed to estimate 3-year recurrence or metastasis rate and 3-year mortality rate. Results:Operative time was 120(60) minutes (range: 45 to 440 minutes), intraoperative blood loss was 50 (80) ml (range: 10 to 2 000 ml). The median change of intraoperative mean arterial pressure was 40 (19) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)(range: 10 to 112 mmHg). Intraoperative blood transfusion was required in 7 cases, whereas 64 cases did not necessitate transfusion. The change in hemoglobin levels before and after surgery was (17.9±13.6) g/L (range:-16 to 53 g/L), and the median change in serum creatinine levels was 2.0 (14.5) μmol/L (range:-71.0 to 100.4 μmol/L). Postoperative fasting duration was 2.0 (1.5) days (range: 1 to 6 days), and the median hospital stay was 10.0 (7.5) days (range: 4 to 24 days). No perioperative mortality occurred in any of the patients. The non-adherent group had shorter operation time, less estimated blood loss, lower blood transfusion rate, smaller delta value of hemoglobin before and after surgery, larger delta value of creatinine before and after surgery, fewer postoperative complications, shorter postoperative fasting time, and shorter length of hospital stay than the adherent group(all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in mean arterial pressure fluctuation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Follow-up data were available for 69 patients, with a median follow-up duration of 39 (43) months (range: 4 to 88 months). Among these patients, 40 completed the 3-year follow-up. The 3-year recurrence or metastasis rate was 10.14%, and the 3-year mortality rate was 2.90%. Conclusions:Robot-assisted laparoscopic technology via abdominal approach for resection of primary retroperitoneal tumors is safe and feasible. It can also achieve secure surgical outcome for primary retroperitoneal tumors adherent to surrounding organs or vessels, albeit with increased surgical complexity and slower postoperative recovery compared to non-adherent cases.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a domestically developed robotic surgical system based on fiber-optic dedicated line communication in cross-regional urological telesurgery.Methods:This was multicenter,single-arm,retrospective case series study. The data of patients who underwent urological telesurgeries using the telesurgical system between January 2023 and December 2024 were analyzed. The cohort included 59 patients from seven hospitals across China. Among the patients,47 were male(79.7%)and 12 were female(20.3%),with a median age of 63.0(56.0,68.0)years and a body mass index of(24.7 ± 3.0)kg/m 2. Surgical procedures included 32 radical prostatectomies,24 partial nephrectomies,one radical nephrectomy,one adrenalectomy,and one ureteral reconstruction. The perioperative indicators,pathological results and postoperative complications were analyzed. The network monitoring data were collected,and the perioperative data of patients,remote system monitoring data and costs were compared between the two communication modes of optical transport network(OTN)and cloud-connect network(CCN). Results:All 59 remote surgeries were successfully completed,with a mean operative time of(138.0 ± 54.0)minutes,median intraoperative blood loss of 50.0(30.0,100.0)ml and a postoperative hospital stay of 5.0(4.0,6.0)days. No cases required reoperation,Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3 complications,or readmission. The geographical distance between the primary and remote surgical sites ranged from 450 to 2 800 km. Network monitoring revealed increased bidirectional latency with distance increasing:the shortest latency time(Hefei-Hangzhou,450 km)was(16.59 ± 0.80)ms,while the longest(Harbin-Hangzhou,2 200 km)latency time was(53.31 ± 0.31)ms. Average frame loss per procedure was 0?1.27 frames. The results of subgroup analysis comparing OTN and CCN communication modes showed no significant differences in operative time[(130.7 ± 70.5)minutes vs.(142.1 ± 42.9)minutes, P = 0.442],postoperative hospitalization[6.0(4.0,8.0)d vs. 5.0(4.0,6.0)d, P = 0.581],or readmission rates(0 vs. 0). However,CCN demonstrated significant cost advantages with 500 RMB per operation vs. 3 000 RMB per operation for OTN. Conclusions:Urological telesurgery using fiber-optic communication is feasible. The CCN mode,with its cost-effectiveness,excellent usability,and multi-point interconnection flexibility,is currently the preferred communication model for telesurgical applications.
