Objective To establish an acute rejection model of cervical heart transplantation in mice and evaluate the survival and dynamic rejection process post-transplantation. Methods Mice were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=10), syngeneic transplantation group (n=21), and allogeneic transplantation group (n=65). Sham operation, syngeneic cervical heart transplantation, and allogeneic cervical heart transplantation were performed respectively. The survival of recipient mice and grafts, histopathological changes of graft tissues, subpopulations of splenic lymphocytes, and expression of inflammatory factors in serum and grafts were observed. Results The survival rate and graft survival rate of the sham operation group and syngeneic transplantation group were 100% at 7 days after surgery. In the allogeneic transplantation group, 5 cases failed and died on the first day after surgery. The survival rate at 7 days after surgery was 86%, and all surviving mice had grafts that stopped beating at 7 days after surgery. The allogeneic transplantation group showed significant rejection at 7 days after surgery, accompanied by tissue damage and CD8+ T cell infiltration. The proportion of CD8+ T cells in the spleen continued to rise post-operation, while the proportion of CD4+ T cells showed a downward trend. The expression of interferon-γ in serum and grafts peaked at 5 days after surgery, while the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α showed no statistical significance. Conclusions Acute rejection following heart transplantation in mice intensifies between 5 to 7 days after surgery, which may be a critical time window for immunological intervention.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of the review and comment on inpatient medical orders in Beijing municipal hospitals, and to put forward countermeasures and suggestions for further improving related work. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the current situation of the review and comment on inpatient medical orders in 22 Beijing municipal hospitals. The statistical analysis was conducted for the survey results. RESULTS A total of 22 questionnaires were distributed, with recovery effective rate of 100%. The 22 hospitals carried out inpatient medical order comment, but their proportion varied among hospitals (0.88%-98.54%); medical order comment mainly focused on antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, anesthetic drugs/class Ⅰ psychotropic drugs, auxiliary drugs and other categories; 205 pharmacists participated in the comment of inpatient medical orders, most of whom hold intermediate or higher professional titles (89.27%); 21 hospitals conducted inpatient medical order comment and feedback the results to relevant departments/responsible persons, but the intervention situation was not the same. Eighteen hospitals had carried out the review of inpatient medical orders; reviewed drug category was roughly the same as the category involved in the medical order comment; review content involved the suitability of administration routes, dosage, etc. The review was conducted mainly through the cooperation of audit software and pharmacists. CONCLUSIONS The comment and review of inpatient medical orders in Beijing municipal hospitals carried out in an orderly manner, and preliminary results have been achieved; at the same time, it is necessary to further increase the ability of participating pharmacists, improve audit standards, optimize pre-audit (No.ZYLX201805) software, and promote rational drug use among hospitalized patients through doctor-pharmacist collaboration.

Objective:
To explore the effects of cyclic training on metabolic syndrome among obese adolescents, so as to provide a reference for reducing physical burden and maintaining physical health for the obese adolescent population.
Methods:
The study selected 42 obese adolescents aged 10-17 from Foshan City from June 1 to September 1, 2021. The subjects were randomly divided into a training group (n=24) and a control group (n=18). The training group implemented a 12week training plan (4 times weekly), including two major events and six movements, namely resistance training (push ups, sit ups, forward lunge) and aerobic exercise (high leg lifts, stationary runs,jumping jack), and each action lasted for 25 seconds with a 15 second interval, completing 4 groups. The control group maintained daily living habits.The ttest and Chisquare test were used for statistical analysis.
Results:
After intervention, the weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage and fat mass of the training group [(72.3±1.8)kg, (26.4±2.0)kg/m2, (31.9±2.3)%, (17.5±2.8)kg] were all lower than before intervention [(73.8±2.1)kg, (30.3±1.8)kg/m2, (34.4±2.5)%, (20.0±3.3)kg], and the muscle mass and physical fitness index of the training group [(32.4±1.1)kg, (67.3±5.3)%] were higher than before intervention [(31.5±1.5)kg, (63.1±6.9)%] (t=-2.75,-7.10,-3.61,-2.83,2.37,2.36, P<0.05). After intervention, the blood glucose, cholesterol, lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol , waist circumference and hip circumference of the training group [(4.6±0.5)mmol/L, (8.2±0.4)mmol/L, (2.8±1.2)mmol/L, (73.5±4.2)cm, (93.2±5.8)cm] were all lower than those before intervention [(4.9±0.4)mmol/L, (8.7±0.8)mmol/L, (3.9±1.1)mmol/L, (77.8±3.9)cm, (99.5±5.1)cm], and highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol was higher than that before intervention[(3.2±0.3)mmol/L,(2.9±0.8)mmol/L](t=-2.30,-2.74,-3.31,-3.68,-4.00,2.29, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant differences between groups in the parameters of each indicator before intervention (P>0.05), while all indicators in the training group were lower than those in the control group except for muscle mass, physical fitness index and highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol, which were higher than those in the control group after intervention (P<0.05).
Conclusions
The cyclic training method for 12 weeks is helpful to prevent the metabolic syndrome disease in obese adolescents.It is possible to appropriately increase the intervention methods of cyclic training to reduce the occurrence of metabolic syndrome among obese adolescents.

There are limited reports available regarding the treatment of amputated noses. This article presented a case of an incompletely amputated nose in a 47-year-old male who was admitted to Dalian University Affiliated Xinhua Hospital in July 2023. He was characterized by an amputated right nasal tip and alar region, with an avulsion area of approximately 4 cm×4 cm. The broad pedicle was connected to the nasal base, approximately 5 mm below the remaining nasal column, and only the nasal column retained a satisfactory arterial blood supply. During the operation, the amputated tissue was implanted in situ, and clindamycin was employed to prevent infection after the operation by intravenous infusion. Bloodletting with flaps, wet application of heparin saline, and massage were employed and all the amputated tissue survived. The appearance of the nose was deemed acceptable. By reviewing relevant literature, the author discussed and summarized the methods of nasal blood supply and treatment for nasal amputated injuries, thereby providing a reference for the management of similar cases.

Background::Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) remains a common complication during liver transplantation (LT) in patients. As a key downstream effector of the Hippo pathway, Yes-associated protein (YAP) has been reported to be involved in various physiological and pathological processes. However, it remains elusive whether and how YAP may control autophagy activation during ischemia-reperfusion.Methods::Human liver tissues from patients who had undergone LT were obtained to evaluate the correlation between YAP and autophagy activation. Both an in vitro hepatocyte cell line and in vivo liver-specific YAP knockdown mice were used to establish the hepatic ischemia-reperfusion models to determine the role of YAP in the activation of autophagy and the mechanism of regulation. Results::Autophagy was activated in the post-perfusion liver grafts during LT in patients, and the expression of YAP positively correlated with the autophagic level of hepatocytes. Liver-specific knockdown of YAP inhibited hepatocytes autophagy upon hypoxia-reoxygenation and HIRI ( P <0.05). YAP deficiency aggravated HIRI by promoting the apoptosis of hepatocytes both in the in vitro and in vivo models ( P <0.05). Attenuated HIRI by overexpression of YAP was diminished after the inhibition of autophagy with 3-methyladenine. In addition, inhibiting autophagy activation by YAP knockdown exacerbated mitochondrial damage through increasing reactive oxygen species ( P <0.05). Moreover, the regulation of autophagy by YAP during HIRI was mediated by AP1 (c-Jun) N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling through binding to the transcriptional enhanced associate domain (TEAD). Conclusions::YAP protects against HIRI by inducing autophagy via JNK signaling that suppresses the apoptosis of hepatocytes. Targeting Hippo (YAP)-JNK-autophagy axis may provide a novel strategy for the prevention and treatment of HIRI.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the predictive value of prognostic nutritional index(PNI) and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio(LMR) in severe radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis(RIOM) during treatment of patients with head and neck cancer,and to construct a risk prediction model and test the prediction effect. METHODS A total of 502 patients with head and neck cancer who underwent radiotherapy were recruited from September 2021 to October 2023 in Xiangya Hospital Central South University. The participants were randomly divided into training group and validation group at a ratio of 7:3. According to whether severe RIOM occurred,they were divided into severe RIOM group and non-severe RIOM group. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors of severe RIOM. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate its prediction effect and R4.3.2 software was used to draw nomograms and decision curve. RESULTS The risk prediction model for patients with head and neck cancer during treatment had five factors,including the number of comorbidities(OR=2.221,95%CI=1.185-4.165),surgical history(OR=2.938,95%CI=1.393-6.198),the degree of tumor differentiation(OR=1.511,95%CI=1.090-2.094),PNI(OR=0.892,95%CI=0.852-0.934),LMR(OR=0.512,95%CI=0.254-1.030). Model formula:Y=2.102+0.413×degree of differentiation+0.798×number of comorbidities+1.078×surgical history-0.114×PNI-0.669×LMR. The validation results of the prediction model showed that the area under the ROC curve of the training group was 0.847(P<0.001),the area under the curve of the validation group was 0.808(P<0.001),and the P values of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test of the modeling group and the validation group were both greater than 0.05. The decision curve was above the reference line within most of the high-risk thresholds. CONCLUSION The risk prediction model constructed in this study has good effect,which can predict the risk of severe RIOM during radiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer,providing the reference for taking preventive intervention measures for high-risk patients.
