Objective To systematically analyze the literature characteristics of Journal of Organ Transplantation since its inception. Methods Using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) academic journal full-text database as the data source, all articles published in the Journal of Organ Transplantation from January 2010 to August 2025 were retrieved. After excluding non-academic papers, a total of 1 568 research papers were included. R language 4.3.0, Bibliometrix package 3.2.1, and Citespace software were used to analyze the number of publications, publishing institutions, authors, keywords and other aspects. Results The number of publications in Journal of Organ Transplantation increased from an average of 82 articles per year in the early years after its inception to 113 articles per year in recent years, a growth of 37.8%. The geographical distribution of publishing institutions covers 32 provinces, cities and autonomous regions nationwide, mainly concentrated in the South China, East China and North China regions, and has now basically covered the central and western regions in recent years. The author collaboration network includes 45 authors distributed across 7 major collaboration clusters, forming a stable multi-level national research system centered on key university-affiliated hospitals. The high-frequency keywords are dominated by "liver transplantation" (425 times) and "kidney transplantation" (396 times). The theme evolution shows a clear three-stage characteristic: initially focusing on clinical technology application, deepening to immune mechanism exploration in the middle stage, and recently (since 2022) focusing on cutting-edge research areas such as xenotransplantation. Conclusions Journal of Organ Transplantation has witnessed the rapid development of China's organ transplantation cause, fully reflecting the research status and trends in China's organ transplantation field, and has provided an important platform for the future development and international cooperation in China's organ transplantation field.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) increasing serpin peptidase inhibitor clade E member 1 (SERPINE1) protein on the malignant biological behavior of thyroid carcinoma (THCA) cells. METHODS THCA cells (KTC-1, TPC-1) were treated with 1, 10 and 100 nmol/L DEX, and their viabilities, clone formation rates, migration rates and invasion number were examined. Potential biological functions of DEX in THCA cells were analyzed through whole genome sequencing and gene ontology enrichment analysis. The core targets of DEX were mined through a protein-protein interaction network. The expression characteristics of DEX core targets and their relationship with patient prognosis were evaluated. The effects of DEX on mRNA and protein expressions of core targets and protein secretion in 2 types of THCA cells were detected, and the effects of this target on DEX-related effects were validated preliminarily by knocking down the core target. RESULTS Compared with the control group (0 nmol/L DEX), DEX at 1, 10 and 100 nmol/L significantly increased the viabilities of 2 types of THCA cells (except for the KTC-1 cells in the 1 nmol/L DEX group at 24 h), concentration-dependently elevated the rates of clone formation, migration rates (except for 2 types of THCA cells in 1 nmol/L DEX group), and the number of invasion (P<0.05). A total of 287 differently expressed genes (75 up- tongxueyan180@163.com regulated and 212 down-regulated) were enriched in signaling pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B, Wnt, and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes in the 2 kinds of DEX-treated or non-treated THCA cells. SERPINE1 was a core target of DEX for THCA, and its mRNA and protein expression in THCA tissues/cells were significantly elevated and associated with poor prognosis of the patients (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, mRNA and protein expression of SERPINE1 was significantly up-regulated in 2 types of cells in the 1, 10 and 100 nmol/L DEX groups, while the secretion of this protein in conditioned medium was also significantly increased, all of which showed concentration-dependence (P<0.05). After knocking down SERPINE1, the promoting effects of DEX on the proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion abilities of two types of THCA cells were significantly inhibited (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS DEX can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of THCA cell, and the above effects may be associated with the expression of increased secretory SERPINE1 protein.

Objective Based on the finite element simulation analysis of the patient's torso-spine model and combined with theoretical calculation data,an individualized scoliosis orthosis was designed,and the effectiveness of the orthosis was verified through three-dimensional(3D)printing.Methods A patient with idiopathic scoliosis was chosen as the research object.Reverse engineering technology and computer-aided technology were used to establish the torso-spine model of the patient.The finite element method was used to analyze the model,and the optimal position and magnitude of the corrective force were determined by combining literature theory calculation.Based on this,an orthosis was designed.To verify the orthopedic effect,the patient's X-rays before and after wearing the orthosis were compared and evaluated,and the patient was followed up 6 months later.Results The optimal position and magnitude of the initial corrective force were determined through theoretical calculations and finite element simulations.Specifically,a 62.95 N corrective force applied to the L3 vertebral body and the left posterior region corresponding to the upper and lower intervertebral discs in the patient's lateral curvature segment of the spine to achieve the optimal orthopedic effect.On this basis,the orthosis was designed,followed by relevant experimental tests before and after wearing the designed orthosis.By comparing X-ray images of the patient before and after wearing the orthosis and combining them with follow-up data six months later,the optimized design of the orthosis met the expected clinical requirements for orthopedic effects.Conclusions The design of orthosis needs to be personalized according to the specific situation of patients with scoliosis.This study takes a patient with idiopathic scoliosis as the research object,providing new ideas and methods for the design of orthosis for patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

Histone lactylation is a novel type of post-translational modification,where a lactate molecule covalently binds to the lysine residues of histones.This modification plays a key role in cellular metabolic reprogramming,particularly in digestive system tumorigenesis and progression.In recent years,the role of histone lactylation in various malignancies has been increasingly recognized,highlighting its broad impact on tumor biology and clinical potential.This article focused on the research progress of histone lactylation in digestive system cancers,specifically analyzing its mechanisms in major gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric cancer,liver cancer,and colon cancer.Studies have shown that lactylation modifies histone lysine residues directly,regulating tumor cell gene expression and chromatin conformation,thereby promoting tumor proliferation,invasion,and metastasis.Lactylation affects histone-DNA interactions,altering chromatin openness and enhancing the transcriptional activity of oncogenes.In addition,targeted therapies that modulate lactation levels or inhibit lactation-related enzymes,such as lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors,lactate production inhibitors,and specific histone lactonases,are effective in inhibiting tumorigenesis and progression and have demonstrated potential therapeutic efficacy in preclinical models.This article systematically summarized the mechanisms of histone lactylation in various types of gastrointestinal cancers,offering new research directions and theoretical support for targeted therapeutic strategies based on lactylation modification.

Objective:To investigate the current status of innovative behavior among male nurses in the Anhui Province, conduct potential profile analysis and explore its influencing factors, providing reference for formulating intervention stratigies to enhance innovative behavior among male nurses.Methods:From January to February 2022, a stratified convenience sampling method was used to select clinical male nurses as the participants from five tertiary and first-class comprehensive hospitals in Anhui Province. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the general demoraphic questionnaire, Nurse Innovation Behavior Scale, Authentic Leadership Scale, and Psychological Capital Questionnaire. Potential profile analysis was conducted on the innovative behavior characteristics of male nurses, and single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used to test the differences in male nurses' innovative behavior characteristics.Results:Among the 220 male nurses, 107 (48.64%) were under the age of 30, accounting for the largest proportion. The innovative behavior score of participants was (38.83 ± 7.80) points, which could be divided into three categories: low-level silent type (27.3%, 60/220), medium-level conservative type (44.5%, 98/220), and high-level active type (28.2%, 62/220). Compared to the low-level silent type, male nurses with higher levels of perceived authentic leadership were more likely to belong to the medium-level conservative type ( OR = 1.055, 95% CI 1.019 - 1.093, P<0.05) and the high-level active type ( OR = 1.124, 95% CI 1.066 - 1.184, P<0.01). The higher the level of psychological capital, the greater the probability that male nurses belong to the medium-level conservative type ( OR = 1.088, 95% CI 1.050 - 1.128, P<0.01) and the high-level active type ( OR = 1.273, 95% CI 1.196 - 1.355, P<0.01). Conclusions:The innovative behavior of male nurses in Anhui Province was at a medium level and had obvious classification characteristics. Nursing managers should focus on low-level silent type and medium-level conservative type male nurses, and adopt targeted interventions and support based on different category characteristics to improve their innovation behavior capacities in clinical settings.
