Objective To explore a method for rapid and differential diagnosis of rejection after kidney transplantation through urine hyperspectral imaging technology. Methods Hyperspectral data information from urine samples of 118 recipients after kidney transplantation was collected, and a deep learning model was constructed to diagnose and classify the types of rejection. Results A deep learning diagnostic model based on the 34-layer residual network (ResNet-34) was constructed, and 118 patients were included and divided into the training set and the test set. Based on the pathological results of the transplanted kidney puncture, the urine samples of the patients were classified into five groups: the non-rejection group, the T-cell-mediated rejection group, the antibody-mediated rejection group, the mixed rejection group and the nephropathy recurrence group. The results showed that the diagnostic sensitivities of the model for the above five groups were 0.960, 0.980, 0.930, 0.940 and 0.943 respectively, and the diagnostic specificities were 0.983, 0.993, 0.997, 0.989 and 0.989 respectively. The overall diagnostic accuracy rate reached 95.7%. Conclusions The study provides a non-invasive, rapid and accurate auxiliary diagnostic method for the differential diagnosis of rejection after kidney transplantation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Huanglian Jiedutang （HLJDT） on cognitive function in mice with ischemic stroke （IS） and to elucidate whether its neuroprotective effects are mediated by inhibition of the nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway and subsequent suppression of NF-κB-regulated neuronal apoptosis. MethodsAn IS model was established using middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO）. Sixty C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to five groups （n =12 per group）， i.e.， sham operation， model， HLJDT low-dose （3.9 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， HLJDT high-dose （7.8 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and Ginkgo biloba extract （GBE， 31.2 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）. Post-operatively， neurological deficit scores （Longa score）， cerebral infarct volume assessed by 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining， and brain water content were evaluated. Learning and memory were assessed using new object recognition （NOR） and fear conditioning （FC） tests. Hippocampal pathology was examined via hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining. Immunofluorescence detected expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP， astrocyte marker）， cellular oncogene Fos （c-Fos， neuronal activation marker）， and glutamate decarboxylase 65 （GAD65）. Western blot measured nuclear factor-κB inhibitor protein α （IκBα）， phosphorylated IκBα （p-IκBα）， NF-κB p65， phosphorylated NF-κB p65 （p-NF-κB p65）， ionic calcium binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba-1）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， interleukin （IL）-1β， and apoptosis-related proteins， such as cleaved cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease 3 （Caspase-3）， B-cell lymphoma 2 （Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax）. Real-time quantitative PCR （Real-time PCR） was used to assess mRNA levels of Iba-1， TNF-α， IL-1β， NF-κB p65， cleaved Caspase-3， Bax， and Bcl-2. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group exhibited significantly increased neurological deficit scores， brain water content， and cerebral infarct volume （P<0.01）. Hippocampal CA1 neurons were disorganized， showing nuclear pyknosis and karyolysis. NOR exploration time and FC freezing time were significantly reduced （P<0.01）. GFAP and c-Fos expression were increased， while GAD65 expression was decreased （P<0.01）. Cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax were upregulated， Bcl-2 was downregulated， and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio was elevated （P<0.01）. Expression levels of p-IκBα， p-NF-κB p65， IL-1β， TNF-α， and Iba-1 were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， HLJDT high-dose， low-dose， and GBE groups showed significant improvements in all parameters （P<0.01）. Among them， the HLJDT high-dose group showed the most pronounced neuronal structural recovery and superior performance in NOR and FC tests （P<0.01）. In this group， GFAP and c-Fos decreased， GAD65 increased （P<0.01）， apoptosis-related protein expression was reversed， and NF-κB signaling and related inflammatory factor expression were suppressed （P<0.01）. ConclusionHLJDT ameliorates cognitive dysfunction in mice after IS， potentially by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway， thereby reducing neuroinflammation and hippocampal neuronal apoptosis.

Objective To compare the biomechanical characteristics of small-angle rotation force versus traditional buccal-lingual force in the extraction of vertically impacted mandibular third molars with single conical roots by a three-dimensional finite element analysis.Methods A patient with a vertical mandibular third molar featuring a conical single root was selected.Spiral CT data were acquired and three-dimensional finite element analysis models were constructed using software including MIMICS,Geomagic Wrap,and Solidworks.ANSYS was utilized to simulate both the small-angle rotation and buccal-lingual forces for tooth extraction.Comparative an-alyses of the biomechanical characteristics of these two forces were conducted by measuring Von-Mises stress and strain distribution.Results In the small-anglerotation force,high-stress and strain areas of tooth,periodontal ligament,and alveolar bone were predomi-nantly concentrated at the cervical region and the upper half of the root,with a more uniform distribution and a broader horizontal diffu-sion range compared to the vertical diffusion range.In the buccal-lingual force,high-stress and strain areas were primarily located at the cervical region and the lower half of the root,particularly at the apical area,with a broader vertical diffusion range compared to the hor-izontal diffusion range.The lingual cortical plate and alveolar bone experienced significantly lower stress in the small-angle rotation force than that in the buccal-lingual force.The overall stress values within the periodontal ligament were markedly higher in the small-angle rotation force,with a more uniform distribution.Conclusion The small-angle rotation force is more likely to tear the periodontal liga-ment and reduce trauma associated with tooth extraction compared to the buccal-lingual force in surgical extraction of vertically impacted mandibular third molars with single conical roots.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcome differences between robotic-assisted intramedullary nailing and traditional manual surgery,and to analyze the advantages and feasibility of robotic-assisted intramedullary nail fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.Methods From December 2023 to December 2024,elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures who underwent surgery at Department of Trauma Orthopedics,Beijing Luhe Hospital,Capital Medical University were included.Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical method.The robotic-assisted group underwent robotic-assisted intramedullary nail fixation,while the traditional group received manual intramedullary nail fixation.Baseline data and observation indicators were collected and compared between the two groups to assess any differences.Results There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups(P>0.05).The intraoperative blood loss in the robotic-assisted group was(94.28±9.43)mL,compared to(143.00±11.11)mL in the traditional group(P<0.001).The operative time in the robotic-assisted group was(53.06±9.89)min,while in the traditional group,it was(66.74±10.18)min(P<0.001).The skin incision length for the main nail in the robotic-assisted group was(3.23±0.64)cm,whereas in the traditional group,it was(4.03±0.79)cm(P<0.01).Postoperative hemoglobin levels in the robotic-assisted group decreased by(12.63±4.27)g/L,compared to(17.29±4.32)g/L in the traditional group(P=0.018).At 6 months postoperatively,the Harris hip scores in the robotic-assisted group showed 30 cases of excellent,10 good,and 3 poor outcomes,while in the traditional group,there were 22 excellent,15 good,and 6 poor cases(P=0.198).Conclusion Robotic-assisted intramedullary nailing for intertrochanteric fractures offers advantages such as minimally invasive and precise procedures,shorter operative times,and reduced blood loss.Compared to traditional surgical methods,it demonstrates certain benefits in reducing postoperative complications in elderly patients.

Objective:This study applies an integrated SWOT-CLPV framework combined with stakeholder analysis to systematically assess the strengths,weaknesses,opportunities,and threats of China's disease control inspector system,while identifying its control factors,leverage points,key problems,and vulnerabilities.Methods:Drawing on literature review,policy document analysis,and expert interviews with seven public health professionals,we extracted and categorized SWOT elements.A CLPV interaction analysis was conducted alongside stakeholder mapping to evaluate internal dynamics and systemic risks.Results:The inspector system demonstrates strengths in policy innovation and medical-public health integration,with external opportunities stemming from rising public health awareness and digital health advancements.However,the system faces weak endogenous momentum,limited leverage,and prominent control constraints and problem-prone areas,especially among grassroots institutions and inspectors themselves.Cross-sectoral coordination barriers and uneven local implementation contribute to significant institutional vulnerabilities.Conclusion:To enhance implementation and resilience,the system requires capacity building for key actors,improved governance structures,incentive and evaluation reforms,and strengthened coordination mechanisms to support the sustained and adaptive development of public health supervision.

The emergence of artificial intelligence(AI)has had a significant impact on medical research and practice,both in terms of the number of studies and research paradigms,and has become an important tool for the development of pharmacoepidemiology.However,traditional AI has faced many challenges,while facilitating pharmacoepidemiology research,such as complex data processing,difficulty in identifying drug exposures and potential outcomes,and time-consuming and laborious study design and implementation.The rapid development of generative AI,represented by large language models(LLMs),has demonstrated a unique potential to enhance research efficiency,shift research paradigms,and facilitate knowledge discovery.LLMs are equipped with natural language understanding and generation capabilities.Through deep mining of multi-dimensional data resources,LLMs can quickly and accurately extract,analyze,summarize,and present the required information,which can not only help drug discovery,drug repurposing,pharmacovigilance and other pharmacoepidemiological tasks,but also provide powerful support for the whole process of research protocol design,data analysis,result interpretation and paper publication.Driven by LLMs,pharmacoepidemiology research is gradually moving into a new stage based on big data and automated analysis.Of course,LLMs also have problems of data bias,"illusion"of results,and ethical and legal regulation.By strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation,establishing a standardized evaluation system,improving ethical and regulatory guidance,enhancing data quality,strengthening practitioner training and capacity building,and promoting human-machine collaborative research modes,it is expected that the potential of LLMs in pharmacoepidemiology will be fully released,and it will provide a more scientific,rapid,and efficient technological support for drug regulation and public health decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the completion rate of tumor evaluation at initial assessment and after neoadjuvant therapy for mid and low rectal cancer patients in the national multicenter real-world database.Methods:The prospective real-world study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 1 074 patients who underwent surgical treatment for mid and low rectal cancer in 47 national medical institutions, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital et al, from May 12,2023 to May 11,2024 were collected. Observation indicators: (1) clinical characteristics of patients with mid and low rectal cancer; (2) initial colonoscopy and pathologic evaluation of tumors in patients with mid and low rectal cancer; (3) initial imaging evaluation of patients with mid and low rectal cancer; (4) imaging evaluation after neoadjuvant therapy for patients with mid and low rectal cancer. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3). Count data were described as absoluter numbers and/or percentages. Results:(1) Clinical characteristics of patients with mid and low rectal cancer. Of the 1 074 patients, there were 713 males and 361 females, aged 63(56,70)years. The body mass index of 1 074 patients was 24(21,26)kg/m 2.For American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, there were 147 cases of stage Ⅰ, 641 cases of stage Ⅱ, 157 cases of stage Ⅲ, 2 cases of stage Ⅳ, and there were 127 cases missing data. (2) Initial colonoscopy and pathologic evaluation of tumors in patients with mid and low rectal cancer. Of the 1 074 patients, there were 787 cases (73.28%) undergoing complete colonoscopy, and there were only 197 cases (18.34%) undergoing immunohistochemical evaluation of all four mismatch repair proteins. (3) Initial imaging evaluation of patients with mid and low rectal cancer. Of the 1 074 patients, there were 842(78.40%) patients completing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound evaluation, and there were 914(85.10%) patients completing chest, abdomen, and pelvis enhanced computed tomography (CT) evaluation. In the 149 patients completing rectal ultrasound evaluation, there were 122 cases (81.88%) comple-ting T staging evaluation, and there were 81 cases (54.36%) completing N staging evaluation. In the 808 patients completing rectal MRI evaluation, there were 708 cases (87.62%) completing T staging evaluation, and there were 590 cases (73.02%) completing N staging evaluation. (4) Imaging evalua-tion after neoadjuvant therapy for patients with mid and low rectal cancer. Of the 388 patients with neoadjuvant therapy, there were 332 patients (85.57%) completing MRI or ultrasound evaluation, and there were 327 patients (84.28%) completing chest, abdomen, and pelvis enhanced CT evalua-tion. In the 70 patients completing rectal ultrasound evaluation, there were 65 cases (92.86%) com-pleting T staging evaluation, and there were 49 cases (70.00%) completing N staging evaluation. In the 327 patients completing rectal MRI evaluation, there were 246 cases (75.23%) completing T staging, and there were 228 cases (69.72%) completing N staging evaluation. Conclusion:The com-pletion rate of tumor imaging evaluation at initial assessment and after neoadjuvant therapy for mid and low rectal cancer patients on a national scale is relatively good.

Aim To investigate the effects of edaravone(EDA)on depression-like behaviors in a rat model of post-stroke depression(PSD)and to explore the un-derlying mechanisms.Methods SD rats were ran-domly divided into:sham operation group(Sham),cerebral ischemia group(CI),post-stroke depression(PSD),fluoxetine(10 mg·kg-1)group,and EDA(5,15 mg·kg-1)group.A PSD rat model was estab-lished using the suture method combined with 56 d of chronic unpredictable mild stimulation.Drug treatment was given once daily for 28 d after stimulation.Body weight and sucrose water preference were measured during the stimulation period,and serum TNF-α,IL-1 β,IL-6,MDA,SOD levels,and hippocampal tissue HO-1 and GPX4 protein expression were detected at the end of stimulation.Results Compared with the sham group,the rat neurological function scores of the remaining groups increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the PSD group,EDA increased the body weight and sucrose water preference of the rats(P＜0.01),significantly decreased the serum TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 levels,decreased the MDA level,increased the SOD level(P＜0.01),and up-regulated hippocampal HO-1 and GPX4 protein expression(P＜0.01).Con-clusions EDA improves depression-like behaviors and inhibits peripheral inflammation and oxidative stress in-jury in PSD rats,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of HO-1/GPX4 pathway to inhibit oxida-tive stress.

Objective To investigate the effects of ischemia time and storage periods on RNA quality in fresh-frozen breast cancer(BC)and esophageal cancer(EC)tissue samples in order to establish evidence-based protocols for biobank sample management.Methods The tumor(T)and paired normal(N)tissue samples from 6 cases of BC and 6 cases of EC were collected and cryopreserved in Biobank,Shantou Central Hospital.Mirror paraffin-embedded tissues were simultaneously prepared into sections for morphological analysis.The samples were divided into two groups of<15 min and 15-30 min according to ischemia time,and RNA quality was analyzed at 4 storage periods of 8-10 months(T1),14-16 months(T2),26-28 months(T3)and 38-40 months(T4).Results In 96 analyzed samples,93.8%(90/96)exhibited high quality(RIN≥6),with 89.6%(43/48)in BC and 97.9%(47/48)in EC.Significant differences in RIN were observed between BC group and EC group(8.050 vs.8.600,P=0.009).In EC group,RIN value was significantly negatively correlated with RNA yield(P<0.001).Moreover,RIN values of tumor-normal pairs exhibited markedly significant differences(7.550 vs.9.000,P<0.001).In contrast,no significant difference was detected in BC group(8.200 vs.7.700,P=0.348).Statistical analysis showed that RIN value was positively correlated with 28S/18S(P<0.001),but had no correlation with tumor content(P=0.676)and necrotic content(P=0.055).Neither ischemia time(<15 min vs.15-30 min:8.200 vs.8.300,P=0.932)nor storage periods(T1-T4:8.400,7.700,8.450,8.600,P=0.163)compromised RNA quality.Conclusion Organ origin and tissue type could influence RNA quality of fresh-frozen tissue samples.However,limited ischemia time(≤30 min)and long-term storage period(38-40 months)do not adversely affect RNA quality in fresh-frozen breast cancer and esophageal cancer tissue samples.

In view of the characteristics of H5N6 subtype avian influenza virus(AIV)that it has both high pathogenicity and the risk of cross-species transmission,posing a serious threat to the poultry farming industry and public health security,in order to effectively prevent and control the spread of H5N6 avian influenza,a rapid,sensitive and specific detection technolo-gy was established in this study.The specific monoclonal antibodies against the neuraminidase N6 protein of avian influenza A virus subtype H5N6 were obtained through hybridoma and monoclonal antibody technology.These antibodies were coupled and labeled with carboxyl-functionalized fluorescent quantum dots,along with previously prepared specific antibodies against the hemagglutinin H5 protein.A rapid fluorescence immunochromatographic detection method for the H5N6 subtype of avian influ-enza virus was established according to the principle of double-antibody sandwich immunochromatography.This method a-chieved a detection sensitivity of 1 ng/mL for recombinant hemagglutinin H5 subtype protein and 0.1 ng/mL for recombinant neuraminidase N6 subtype protein.Moreover,the method exhibited no cross-reactivity with other influenza subtypes or patho-gens,such as Newcastle disease(ND),infectious bronchitis(IB),and infectious laryngotracheitis(ILT),thus demonstrating good specificity.The method effectively identified the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5 subtype and directly distin-guished the H5N6 subtype with good accuracy.The fluorescent quantum dot immunochromatographic typing detection method established herein met the sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy requirements for H5N6 subtype detection,and can be further used for rapid detection of the H5 and H5N6 subtypes of avian influenza virus.
