Objective To preliminarily investigate the safety and efficacy of donor pancreas needle biopsy in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 7 cases undergoing donor pancreas biopsy were collected retrospectively. All cases underwent donor pancreas biopsy before or during simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Frozen section or paraffin sectioning techniques were used for tissue preparation, and hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining were performed to histologically evaluate the donor pancreas. The quality of donor pancreas was comprehensively assessed by combining histological findings with the donor's clinical data. Postoperative follow-up data of 5 simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant recipients were collected to summarize the safety of donor pancreas biopsy and the prognosis of transplant recipients. Results The 7 pancreas donors were aged 28 to 62 years, with a body mass index ranging from 20.76 to 27.68 kg/m2. Liver ultrasound indicated fatty liver in 3 cases, while pancreatic ultrasound did not reveal any significant abnormalities. Among them, biopsy was performed on 2 donors after completion of pancreatic procurement and processing, and the frozen section histology showed moderate acute pancreatitis changes (edema of acinar cells, necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration). Combined with a serum amylase level elevated more than 3 times the upper limit of normal value, these two donor pancreases were finally discarded. The remaining 5 cases underwent biopsy immediately after pancreatic vascular anastomosis during simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, and histological evaluation was performed on paraffin-embedded sections. No biopsy-related complications (such as bleeding, pancreatic fistula, etc.) occurred after transplantation. One recipient died of severe infection 2 months after transplantation, while the other 4 recipients were followed up for more than 5 years, with well-functioning transplant kidneys and pancreases. Conclusions Donor pancreas biopsy is relatively safe, and the risk of biopsy-related complications after transplantation is controllable. Comprehensive assessment of donor pancreas quality by combining histological evaluation with the donor's clinical indicators is conducive to improving the accuracy of donor pancreas selection and organ utilization.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of 24 hour movement behaviors on the self confidence level of junior high school students, providing empirical evidence for optimizing physical activity intervention strategies and enhancing adolescents mental health.
Methods:
In December 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 350 students from 3 junior high schools in Wuhan City. The ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometer was employed to monitor participants 24 hour movement behaviors, and the Children and Adolescents Self confidence Questionnaire was used to assess their self confidence levels. Compositional isotemporal substitution models were applied to analyze the substitution effects among different movement behaviors and their impact on the self confidence level of junior high school students.
Results:
Among the 24 hour movement behaviors of junior high school students, the compositional means and proportions of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep (SP) were 33.91 min (2.35%), 151.64 min (10.53%), 761.12 min (52.86%), and 493.33 min (34.26%), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences were found across grade, parental education level, or family economic status ( t/F =0.62,1.50,-1.22, all P >0.05). Significant differences in self confidence levels were observed between male and female junior high students ( t=3.36, P <0.05). Regarding 24 hour movement behaviors, MVPA, LPA, SB and SP exhibited statistically significant differences across gender, grade, and parental education ( Z/H =-6.76-6.15, all P < 0.05 ). Results of component linear regression analysis indicated that the proportion of MVPA time positively predicted junior high school students self confidence levels ( β =4.38), while the proportion of SP time negatively predicted self confidence levels ( β = -11.20 ) (both P <0.05). Isotemporal substitution analysis revealed that replacing 15 minutes of SB and SP with MVPA increased total self confidence scores by 1.53 and 1.97 units, respectively, while the opposite substitution decreased scores by 2.48 and 2.91 units (all P <0.05). Dose response analysis revealed an asymmetric pattern in the isochronous substitution effects between MVPA and SB/SP.
Conclusions
The overall distribution of 24 hour movement behaviors significantly impacts self confidence level of junior high school students. Insufficient MVPA may constrain the positive development of self confidence.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of the Yishen paidu formula on renal fibrosis in rats with chronic renal failure (CRF) through the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)/NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, Yishen paidu formula low-dose (Yishen paidu formula-L) group, Yishen paidu formula high-dose (Yishen paidu formula- H) group, Yishen paidu formula-H+pcDNA-NC group, and Yishen paidu formula-H+ pcDNA-TXNIP group, with 10 rats in each group. Except for control group, all other rats were fed a diet containing 0.5% adenine to establish a CRF model; the rats were then administered corresponding drugs or normal saline intragastrically or via tail vein, once daily, for 8 consecutive weeks. After the last administration, the levels of serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), ROS, superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β were measured in each group. Pathological changes in renal tissue were observed, and the protein expression levels of Collagen Ⅲ, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), TXNIP and NLRP3 in renal tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with model group, the renal histopathological damage and fibrosis of rats in Yishen paidu formula-L group and Yishen paidu formula-H group were significantly alleviated. The levels of Scr, BUN, ROS, MDA, TNF- α, IL-6 and IL-1β, and the protein expressions of Collagen Ⅲ, α-SMA, TGF-β1, TXNIP and NLRP3 were significantly decreased, while SOD levels were significantly increased (P<0.05). Moreover, the changes were more pronounced in the Yishen paidu formula-H group (P<0.05). Compared with Yishen paidu formula-H+pcDNA-NC group, above indexes of rats in Yishen paidu formula-H+pcDNA-TXNIP group were reversed significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Yishen paidu formula can inhibit renal fibrosis in CRF rats by suppressing the ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of modified Xiaoyaosan (JJXYS) on behavioral abnormalities and hippocampal mitochondrial quality control (MQC) in the rat model of post-myocardial infarction depression (PMD) and preliminarily explore its potential mechanism. MethodsA rat model of PMD was established by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation combined with chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). Rats were randomized into a control group, a model group, a fluoxetine (FLX, 10 mg·kg-1) group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose JJXYS (JJXYS-L/M/H, 1.12, 2.24, 4.48 g·kg-1, respectively) groups. Depressive-like behaviors were evaluated by body weight monitoring, sucrose preference test, open field test, and forced swimming test. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Nissl staining were used to observe hippocampal histomorphology and neuronal changes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was conducted to determine the serum levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). The mRNA levels of MQC-related genes including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (Nrf1), and transcription factor A, mitochondrial (TFAM) in the hippocampal tissue were measured by real-time PCR. The expression of proteins related to the dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1)/PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin signaling pathway was determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed restricted body weight gain, aggravated depressive-like behaviors, declined serum 5-HT and DA levels, evident hippocampal neuronal damage and reduced Nissl bodies, as well as downregulated expression of MQC-related genes and proteins (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, both FLX and JJXYS alleviated the above changes to varying degrees. Moreover, the JJXYS-M and JJXYS-H groups showed more pronounced effects, improving behavioral performance, restoring 5-HT and DA levels, alleviating hippocampal pathological injury, and upregulating the expression of PGC-1α/Nrf1/TFAM mRNA and Drp1/PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway-related proteins (P<0.05). ConclusionJJXYS can significantly alleviate depressive-like behaviors and neurotransmitter imbalance in the rat model of PMD by regulating hippocampal MQC and upregulating the Drp1/PINK1/Parkin-related pathway. This study provides experimental evidence for the intervention of PMD with JJXYS.

Objective To investigate the significance of modified Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity score (S-ReSC), renal stone complexity score (R.I.R.S.), and Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society Nephrolithometric Nomogram (CROES) score in predicting the stone-clearance rate (SFR) after ureteroscopy combined with flexible negative pressure suction sheath in the treatment of kidney stones. Methods A total of 200 patients with kidney stones treated in our hospital during Dec.2022 and Apr.2024 were selected.According to abdominal CT evaluation 1 month after surgery, the patients were divided into the residual group (n=38) and the non-residual group (n=162).The relationship between the scores was assessed with Pearson correlation, the independent risk factors were identified with binary logistic regression, the predictive efficacy was evaluated with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and the difference in the area under the ROC curves (AUCs) was compared with the Delong test. Results Compared with the non-residual group, the residual group had significantly higher modified S-ReSC and R.I.R.S., but significantly lower CROES score (P<0.05). Modified S-ReSC was positively correlated with R.I.R.S. (P<0.05), while CROES score was negatively correlated with S-ReSC and R.I.R.S.Staghorn stones, maximum stone diameter, elevated CT values, increased S-ReSC and R.I.R.S., and decreased CROES score were independent risk factors for postoperative stone residual (P<0.05).ROC curves showed the optimal AUC of R.I.R.S.was 0.855, and the optimal AUC of combined prediction was 0.950.Conclusion The R.I.R.S.has the best efficacy in predicting postoperative stone residual, especially for complex stones.The combination of stone characteristics and the three scoring systems can improve the prediction efficiency, and provide reference for preoperative evaluation and individualized treatment.

Objective:To introduce the clinical application of "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection in laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:Patients who were confirmed to have adenocarcinoma by preoperative gastroscopy and pathological biopsy, with tumor staging evaluated by imaging as cT1~4aN0~3M0, without neoadjuvant therapy, and without absolute surgical contraindications, underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer with "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection. The "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection was performed in four steps: (1) Expose the posterior gastric mesentery and dissect No.11p lymph nodes; (2) Expose the left gastric mesentery and dissect No.7, No.8a and No.9 lymph nodes; (3) Expose the right gastric mesentery and dissect No.5 lymph nodes; (4) Expose the left edge of the portal vein and dissect No.12a lymph nodes.Results:From April 2018 to October 2024, 112 patients with gastric cancer underwent laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy with "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection, including 21 cases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, 78 cases in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and 13 cases in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Jilin Provincial People's Hospital. The TNM staging of all patients was as follows: 31 cases in stage Ⅰ, 24 cases in stage Ⅱ, and 57 cases in stage Ⅲ; 62 cases of differentiated adenocarcinoma and 50 cases of undifferentiated adenocarcinoma; the median length of tumors was 3.8 cm. All patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to open surgery, no intraoperative massive hemorrhage or postoperative death. The median total number of lymph nodes dissected in all patients was 32, and the median number of positive lymph nodes was 4.5. The overall postoperative complication rate was 5.4% (6/112), all of which were Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ, including pulmonary infection, pleural effusion, and incisional infection, all cured by symptomatic treatment. The median follow-up was 41.8 (2-78) months, with 7 cases lost to follow-up. During the follow-up period, 27 cases (25.7%) had tumor recurrence and 16 cases (15.2%) died.Conclusions:The "page-turning" superior pancreatic lymph node dissection technique is safe and feasible in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
