Objective To compare the clinical efficacy, safety, and patient’ prognosis of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) via anterior tibial vein and popliteal vein approaches in the treatment of acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 195 patients diagnosed with acute mixed lower extremity DVT and treated with CDT in the Department of Interventional and Vascular Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2020 to December 2023. Patients were divided into an observation group (anterior tibial vein approach, n＝97) and a control group (popliteal vein approach, n＝98) according to the puncture route. Baseline data, thrombolysis-related indices (urokinase dosage, coagulation function indices), efficacy measures (degree of thrombus dissolution, leg circumference difference, visual analogue scale [VAS] score, venous clinical severity score [VCSS]), recovery parameters (time to ambulation, length of hospital stay), complication rates, and long-term prognosis measures (Villalta score, incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome [PTS]) were compared between the two groups. Results There was no statistically significant difference in urokinase dosage and levels of coagulation function indices between the two groups. Postoperatively, the leg circumference difference at 15 cm below the knee, VAS score, and VCSS score were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P＝0.001). The observation group had higher grade Ⅲ dissolution rates in the popliteal and anterior tibial veins compared to the control group (P＜0.05), while differences of dissolution rates in the iliac and femoral veins were not statistically significant. The observation group had shorter length of hospital stay and earlier ambulation times than the control group (P＝0.001). There were no significant differences in complication rates, Villalta scores, or PTS incidence between the two groups. Conclusions CDT via the anterior tibial vein puncture approach for acute mixed lower extremity DVT is superior to the popliteal vein approach in promoting resolution of lower extremity swelling, alleviating pain, improving venous clinical symptoms, and achieving higher thrombus dissolution rates in the popliteal and anterior tibial veins. It also enables faster recovery and demonstrates good safety.

Objective This study conducted molecular biological identification of the viruses carried by Culex pipiens pallens specimens collected in Shunyi District, Beijing in 2023, and observed the changes in the infection rate of the viruses carried by Cx. pipiens pallens at different collection times. Methods Cx. pipiens pallens were collected using carbon dioxide mosquito traps. The mosquito samples were ground in batches and analyzed by molecular biology technologies. The virus infection rate at different collection times was analyzed statistically. Results 17 strains of Culex pipiens pallens densovirus(CppDNV)were identified from Cx. pipiens pallens samples collected in Shunyi District, Beijing, in 2023. The nucleotide sequence analysis of the virus genome coding region showed that CppDNV was a single-stranded DNA virus with a total length of 3 335 nt, encoding 2 non-structural proteins(NS1, NS2)and 1 capsid protein(VP). The nucleotide(amino acid)sequence lengths of the three proteins were 2 376 nt(791 aa),1 092 nt(363 aa)and 1 071 nt(356 aa), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CppDNV was located in genus Brevihamaparvovirus. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in infection rates across collection times(χ2=4.429, P=0.194). Conclusions CppDNV was identified in Cx. pipiens pallens in Beijing, and it was stably maintained in this natural population.

The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is higher among individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than in the general population. Emerging evidence indicates that the development of MASLD in patients with IBD may occur independently of traditional metabolic risk factors, suggesting a unique pathophysiological mechanism distinct from conventional MASLD pathways. Bile acids (BAs), which act as critical signaling molecules in enterohepatic circulation, play an essential role in maintaining gastrointestinal homeostasis through bidirectional gut–liver axis communication. These molecules are increasingly recognized as pivotal regulators in the progression of both MASLD and IBD. While previous studies have characterized the dynamics of BA in blood or fecal samples under both conditions, a comprehensive understanding of their metabolic profiles and the associated interactions within the gut–liver axis is still lacking. This review synthesizes current evidence from studies employing BA metabolomics to investigate IBD and MASLD. By focusing on BA signatures, we summarize conserved alterations between these two conditions and their potential mechanisms of disease progression. Our review advances understanding of BA-mediated pathways in IBD and MASLD, providing a foundation for assessing their roles in contributing to the pathogenesis of MASLD in patients with IBD.

The"capitation payment with retained surplus and shared accountability for reasonable overruns"mechanism constitutes a pivotal institutional framework for advancing the high-quality development of County Medical Communities(CMCs).This study addresses two critical operational challenges:identifying the sources of medical insurance fund surplus and optimizing the governance of fund retention processes.Grounded in transaction cost theory,we develop an analytical framework examining the formation of medical insurance fund surplus through the dual lenses of intra-organizational dynamics within CMCs and external medical insurance payment mechanism design.Utilizing Deqing County,Zhejiang Province as an empirical case,this research proposes a five-pronged strategy:Clarifying generation channels of insurance fund surplus,scientifically determining regional medical insurance budgets,implementing bundled payment mechanisms for CMCs,adopting hybrid payment models integrating unified and differentiated approaches,and establishing performance-based incentive systems.These findings elucidate the formative pathways of medical insurance fund surplus while offering theoretical and practical insights for enhancing payment system reforms to support CMC development.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that Huosui Formula has a synergistic effect on the immune and hematopoietic regulation of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome,but the specific mechanism is not yet clear.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect and mechanism of Huosui Formula on bone marrow hematopoiesis in rats with myelodysplastic syndrome.METHODS:A total of 70 SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group(n=10),a model group(n=15),a western medicine group(n=15),a low-dose Huosui Formula group(n=15),and a high-dose Huosui Formula group(n=15).Except for the normal control group,the other four groups were injected with dimethyl benzanthracene via the tail vein to induce the establishment of rat myelodysplastic syndrome models.After modeling,the normal control group and the model group were given normal saline;the western medicine group was given thalidomide capsules 10 mg/kg and retinoic acid tablets 4 mg/kg,and the low-dose Huosui Formula group and the high-dose Huosui Formula group were given 1.5 and 6 g/kg Huosui Formula,respectively,by intragastric administration once a day for 28 consecutive days.Peripheral blood and femoral bone marrow tissue were collected to detect peripheral blood routine and bone marrow biopsy hematopoietic proliferation.Flow cytometry was used to detect T lymphocyte subsets and the expression of CTLA-4 and PD-1 on T lymphocytes.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the normal control group,peripheral blood leukocyte,neutrophil,hemoglobin,platelet,and CD4+,CD4+/CD8+levels were decreased in the model group significantly(P＜0.05),while CD4+PD-1+,CD8+PD-1+,CD4+CTLA-4+,and CD8+CTLA-4+expressions were significantly upregulated(P＜0.05).(2)In all dosage groups,myelopoietic proliferation was increased compared with the model group,with no significant difference between the groups(P＞0.05).(3)Compared with the model group,leukocytes,hemoglobin,platelets,and CD4+,CD4+/CD8+were significantly elevated in the high-dose Huosui Formula group(P＜0.05),the expression of CD8+was significantly lower(P＜0.05),and the levels of CD4+PD-1+,CD8+PD-1+,CD4+CTLA-4+,and CD8+CTLA-4+were down-regulated but not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(4)The western medicine group and the high-dose Huosui Formula group showed similar efficacy.The improvement of each index in the high-dose Huosui Formula group was superior to that in the low-dose Huosui Formula group.These findings indicate that Huosui Formula can improve the bone marrow hematopoiesis in myelodysplastic syndrome model rats,increase the levels of CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+while down-regulate the expression levels of CD4+PD-1+,CD8+PD-1+,CD4+CTLA-4+,and CD8+CTLA-4+.These observations suggest a link to the negative immunoregulation mechanism.

Atherosclerosis(AS)is the major pathologic basis of cardiovascular disease,and its complications,such as myocardial infarction and stroke,are primarily triggered by rupture of atherosclerotic vulnerable plaques(VASPs).Conventional imaging techniques rely on anatomical changes,making it difficult to assess plaque vulnerability at an early stage.In recent years,molecular imaging combined with nanoprobe technology has enabled precise visualization at the cellular and molecular levels by targeting pathological features of plaques(e.g.,lipid core,inflammation,thin fibrous cap,etc.).This article reviews the pathological features of VASPs,the limitations of existing imaging techniques,and the design principles and application progress of molecular imaging probes and discusses the challenges and future directions for their clinical translation.

Although teniposide(VM26)is widely used in the treatment of lymphoma,its poor water sol-ubility,low bioavailability and systemic toxicities still limit its clinical application.Nano-delivery systems are effective in increasing the bioavailability and reducing the toxicity of VM26,but there is an urgent need to overcome the problem of its non-specific targeting.Therefore,in this paper,we designed and constructed a hyaluronic acid-modified teniposide-targeted nano-delivery system(VM26-TNDS),and characterised its drug encapsulation rate,particle size and zeta potential.We also investigated the effects of VM26-TNDS on B-cell lymphoma cells with different expression of CD44 receptor,in terms of cellular targeting,inhibitory effect of proliferation,and induction of apoptosis and necrosis.The results showed that the drug encapsulation efficiency of VM26-TNDS exceeded 85％,and its liquid formulation could be stably stored at 4 ℃ for more than 6 months without precipitation.Based on CD44 receptor expression,Granta-519(high expression),Raji(medium-low expression)and SU-DHL-4(almost no expression)were screened for cellular experiments.Compared with VM26-NDS,the targeted modification could effec-tively reduce the uptake of VM26-TNDS by RAW264.7 and increase the uptake of VM26-TNDS by CD44 receptor-expressing lymphoma cells.The inhibitory proliferative effect and apoptotic necrosis-inducing a-bility of VM26-TNDS were stronger than those of VM26-NDS for Granta-519 and Raji cells,whereas there was no significant difference in the inhibitory effect on proliferation and ability to induce apoptosis and necrosis between VM26-NDS and VM26-TNDS in SU-DHL-4 cells,reflecting the targeting advantage for VM26-TNDS,as expected.However,its toxic effect on B-cell lymphoma cells only reflected the targeting advantage at some concentrations(0.25 μmol/L and 0.5 μmol/L),which met the expectation.The a-bove results indicate that a teniposide-targeted nano-delivery system,VM26-TNDS,has been successfully prepared in this study.VM26-TNDS improves the delivery efficiency of VM26 by targeting human B-cell lymphoma cells expressing the CD44 receptor,thus killing human B-cell lymphoma cells more effectively and overcoming the problem of non-specific targeting in drug delivery to improve the therapeutic effect.Its biological therapeutic effects and mechanisms still need to be proved by more in vitro and in vivo ex-perimental evidence.
