Objective To summarize and analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for acute leukemia relapsing after the first allo-HSCT. Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with acute leukemia who underwent second allo-HSCT at Peking University First Hospital from January 2005 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 17 patients, 7 achieved long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation. The median progression-free survival after successful second transplantation was 7 months (range 8 days to 69 months). The relapse fatality was 24%, and the transplant-related fatality was 35%. Conclusions Second transplantation is an effective treatment for relapsed and refractory acute leukemia, but the relapse fatality and transplant-related fatality remain high. Patient age, time of relapse after the first transplantation and disease status before second transplantation are all factors that affect the efficacy of second transplantation. Younger age, late relapse and complete remission of disease before second transplantation are all beneficial for long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanisms of oliceridine fumarate (TRV130) in improving postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly rats based on the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into the control group (normal saline), the model group (normal saline), the TRV130 group (2.8 mg/kg), the TLR4/NF-κB pathway inhibitor (TAK-242) group (3 mg/kg), the β -arrestin inhibitor (Barbadin) group (3 mg/kg), and the traditional opioid drug (morphine) group (2.8 mg/kg), with 15 rats in each group. Except for the control group, POCD models were established in all other groups. From the first day after surgery, drugs/normal saline were administered via caudal vein injection once daily for 3 consecutive days. After the last administration, the pathological damage of hippocampal tissue was observed; the cognitive function, serum inflammatory factor levels, hippocampal neurons apoptosis rate, and the expression of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and TLR4/NF-κB pathway-related mRNA and protein in hippocampal tissue were detected. RESULTS In the model group, the neurons in the CA1 region of the hippocampus were disordered and sparse, with decreased number, pyknotic and fragmented nuclei accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the control group, the escape latency, serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-1β, hippocampal neurons apoptosis rate, average fluorescence intensities of Iba-1 and GFAP, mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65, and their protein expression/phosphorylation levels in hippocampal tissue were significantly increased/elevated in the model group ( P <0.05); the time spent in the target quadrant and the number of platform crossings were significantly shortened/decreased ( P <0.05). Compared with the model group, the cognitive function, pathological, inflammatory, and apoptosis-related indicators were significantly improved in the TRV130 group, TAK-242 group, and Barbadin group ( P <0.05); the mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 and their protein expression/phosphorylation levels were significantly decreased in the TRV130 group and TAK-242 group ( P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS TRV130 may improve POCD in elderly rats by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and alleviating postoperative central nervous system inflammatory responses.

Objective:
To evaluate the diagnostic potential of fluid suppression (FS) techniques combined with amide proton transferweighted imaging (APTw) for assessment of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status, glioma subtypes, and tumor proliferation.
Materials and Methods:
This retrospective study included 117 patients with adult-type diffuse gliomas. Conventional APTw, FSAPTw, and spillover-corrected FS-APTw (SCFS-APTw) metrics were calculated from 3T MRI data in tumor parenchyma, necrotic or cystic regions, and contralateral normal-appearing white matter. APTw signals were compared across the three techniques within each region, between IDH-mutant and IDH-wildtype gliomas, and among astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and glioblastoma subtypes. Diagnostic performance for distinguishing IDH mutation status and glioma subtypes was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Correlations between APTw metrics and Ki-67 expression were also analyzed.
Results:
Both FS-APTw and SCFS-APTw significantly reduced signal intensity in tumor parenchyma and necrotic or cystic regions, with SCFS-APTw demonstrating a stronger suppression effect. IDH-wildtype gliomas showed significantly higher APTw metrics than IDH-mutant gliomas (all P < 0.001). Glioblastomas exhibited significantly higher metrics than oligodendrogliomas (all corrected P ≤ 0.015) and astrocytomas (all corrected P < 0.001). SCFS-APTw achieved the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.846 for identification of IDH mutation status. For differentiation between astrocytomas and glioblastomas, the 90th percentile of APTw yielded the highest AUC (0.860), followed by SCFS-APTw (0.849). For discrimination between oligodendrogliomas and glioblastomas, the highest AUC (0.832) was obtained using the 90th percentile of SCFS-APTw. None of these metrics successfully differentiated oligodendrogliomas from astrocytomas. SCFS-APTw demonstrated the strongest correlation with Ki-67 expression (r = 0.451).
Conclusion
FS techniques effectively reduce elevated APTw signals originating from fluid compartments. Their combination with APTw imaging enables evaluation of IDH mutation status, glioma subtypes, and tumor proliferative activity in adulttype diffuse gliomas.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) require long-term pharmacotherapy. Due to the wide variety of clinically available drugs, medication safety has become increasingly concerning. As an indispensable component of pharmaceutical formulations, drug excipients may induce various adverse reactions, including rash, allergic responses, and gastrointestinal discomfort, and may even lead to severe organic injury. However, they are often overlooked in clinical practice. Therefore, identifying and managing excipient-related adverse reactions is crucial for ensuring medication safety. To address this issue, this article systematically reviews common excipients in IBD therapeutics, the underlying mechanisms of excipient-induced adverse reactions, and corresponding management strategies, aiming to enhance clinicians' awareness of excipient-related issues, improve their ability to recognize and manage such reactions, and ultimately ensure patient safety.

With the rapid advancement of medical technology and the increasing complexity of clinical environments, competence in clinical ethical decision-making has become an indispensable core competency for exemplary physicians. However, traditional medical ethics education has long been confronted with the persistent challenges of theory-practice dissociation and the disconnect between pedagogical settings and clinical realities. Thus, how to construct a "Clinical Ethics" curriculum that aligns with the objectives of training high-caliber medical professionals has emerged as a critical and challenging issue in current medical education reform. To effectively address this challenge, the Office of Education at Peking University Third Hospital, since 2021, has assembled a multidisciplinary "Clinical Ethics" teaching and management team comprising faculty from Peking University School of Humanities and key clinical specialists from the hospital. In 2022, the "Clinical Ethics" elective course was formally launched for fourth-year students in the eight-year MD program who had completed coursework in "Medical Ethics" and organ-system-based curricula, with the aim of exploring and operationalizing a pre-clinical ethics education model tailored for senior medical students. The course employs a modular instructional design encompassing "theoretical review-case-based deliberation-clinical workshop", which effectively facilitates the deep integration of medical humanities with clinical practice.Following four years of iterative refinement through the "plan-act-observe-reflect" cycle, the course has demonstrated positive outcomes in enhancing students' ethical awareness and decision-making capabilities, and has preliminarily established a sustainable collaborative mechanism among the multidisciplinary faculty team. This article systematically delineates the course development background, pedagogical model and methodological innovations, and the multidisciplinary collaborative framework, alongside reflections and summaries based on implementation outcomes, with the intent of providing references for the future development of "Clinical Ethics" curricula.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and potential mechanism of 717 Jiedu decoction in ameliorating local tissue injury induced by Gloydius brevicaudus venom via regulating macrophage phenotype transformation.METHODS Rat blank-serum and drug-containing serum were prepared by intragastric administration of normal saline, tail-vein injection of anti- G. brevicaudus venom serum (0.6 mL per rat), and intragastric administration of 717 Jiedu decoction at doses of 0.495, 0.99 and 1.98 g/kg (calculated as crude drug). M0-type macrophages derived from human leukemia monocytic THP-1 cells induced and differentiated by PMA were divided into normal control group, model group, positive control group, and low-, medium- and high-concentration 717 Jiedu decoction drug-containing serum groups. Except for the normal control group, all other groups were treated with 10 μg/mL G. brevicaudus venom working solution and 10% blank or drug-containing serum. After the cultivation period, the cellular ultrastructural changes in each group were observed; the proportions of M1- and M2-type macrophages, as well as the mRNA and protein expression of macrophage phenotype transformation and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were detected.RESULTS Compared with the normal control group, cells in the model group presented ultrastructural injuries including mitochondrial swelling, cristae rupture and cytoplasmic vacuolization. The proportion of M1-type macrophages and the mRNA and protein expression levels of related phenotype transformation markers [inducible nitric oxide synthase, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β] and HIF-1α were significantly increased ( P <0.05),whereas the proportion of M2-type macrophages and the mRNA and protein expression levels of related phenotype transformation markers (arginase-1, IL-10, mannose receptor C type 1 and chitinase-3-like protein 1) were significantly decreased ( P <0.05). Compared with the model group, cellular ultrastructural injuries were obviously alleviated, and the above-mentioned indexes were significantly reversed in the high-concentration 717 Jiedu decoction drug-containing serum group ( P <0.05).CONCLUSIONS717 Jiedu decoction can exert anti-inflammatory and tissue-repairing effects by regulating the balance of M1-, M2-type macrophages phenotype transformation and repairing cellular ultrastructural damage. Its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the excessive activation of the HIF-1α pathway.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the forming process of Kaixin granules and establish its physical fingerprint.METHODS Using particle forming rate, hygroscopicity rate, dissolution rate, and angle of repose as indices, the key process parameters of the granule forming process were determined by Plackett-Burman design. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) combined with the entropy weight method was used to comprehensively weight the indices, and the forming process of Kaixin granules was optimized and validated by Box-Behnken response surface methodology. A physical fingerprint of Kaixin granules was established based on the following physical indices: angle of repose, Hausner ratio, bulk density, tapped density, moisture content, hygroscopicity ratio, and relative uniformity index, with similarity evaluation was performed. Cluster analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were performed using SPSS 20.0 and the SPSSPRO online analysis platform, respectively.RESULTS The key process parameters were ethanol volume fraction, ethanol amount, and the drug-excipient ratio. The optimal forming conditions were as follows: ethanol volume fraction of 87%, ethanol amount of 27%, and a drug-excipient ratio of 1∶1. Validation showed that the average comprehensive scores of three batches were 97.82, with an RSD of 0.19%. The similarity of the physical fingerprints of ten batches of Kaixin granules prepared under the optimal forming process were greater than 0.98. The results of cluster analysis showed that the ten batches were divided into two groups: S4, S5, S7, S8 and S10 in one cluster, and S1-S3, S6 and S9 in another. The variable importance in projection values of Hausner ratio, relative uniformity index, bulk density, and moisture content were greater than 1.CONCLUSIONS The optimized forming process is stable and feasible. The established physical fingerprint can effectively characterize the overall physical properties of Kaixin granules. Hausner ratio, relative uniformity index, bulk density, and moisture content are the key physical indices.

OBJECTIVE To develop a risk screening scale for medication adherence in anticoagulated patients and evaluate its reliability and validity, thereby providing an assessment tool for identifying medication adherence risks during anticoagulant therapy and implementing individualized interventions.METHODS Based on the protection motivation theory, a preliminary scale containing 20 items was developed through literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, expert consultation and a pilot survey. Convenience sampling was used to distribute questionnaires to patients receiving anticoagulant therapy at multiple medical institutions. Item analysis was conducted to select items. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to assess construct validity and further screen items. The New General Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (NGSES-SF) was used to assess criterion-related validity, and the internal consistency and split-half reliability of the scale were evaluated.RESULTS A total of 425 questionnaires were distributed, and 411 valid questionnaires were recovered, yielding an effective recovery rate of 96.71%. The final scale consisted of four dimensions:perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, response efficacy and self-efficacy, with a total of 11 items. EFA extracted four common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 68.805%. CFA showed the Chi-square degrees of freedom ratio was 1.839, the root mean square error of approximation was 0.064, the goodness-of-fit index was 0.945, the comparative fit index was 0.979, and the Tucker-Lewis index was 0.969. The total score of the scale and the scores of each dimension were significantly positively correlated with the scores of the criterion scale NGSES-SF ( P <0.05), and the correlation coefficient between the total score of the scale and the total score of NGSES-SF was 0.346. The Cronbach’s α coefficient for internal consistency was 0.878, and the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.743.CONCLUSIONS The medication adherence risk screening scale for patients on anticoagulant therapy constructed in this study demonstrated good reliability and validity, which can be used to screen for medication adherence risk in patients on anticoagulant therapy, and serve as an assessment tool for stratified targeted interventions in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of cordycepin in inhibiting fat infiltration after rotator cuff injuries in rats by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, providing a theoretical basis for clinical treatment of rotator cuff injuries. MethodsFifty SPF-grade female SD rats were used in this study, with 10 randomly selected as the blank group. A rotator cuff injury repair model was established by supraspinatus tendon and suprascapular nerve compression. The successfully modeled rats were randomized into model and low-dose (20 mg·kg-1), medium-dose (40 mg·kg-1), and high-dose (80 mg·kg-1) cordycepin groups. After 6 weeks of treatment, the gait analysis was performed to assess the limb function in rats. Oil red O staining and Masson staining were employed to observe pathological changes in the muscle tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the serum. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to detect the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα), which are markers of adipogenesis. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels, respectively, of Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and β-catenin. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group showed decreases in stride length and paw print area (P<0.01), an increase in ratio of wet muscle mass reduction and a decrease in muscle fiber cross-sectional area (P<0.05), and decreased ratios of fat infiltration area and collagen fiber area (P<0.01). Additionally, the model group showed elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.05), up-regulated protein levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα (P<0.01), and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and β-catenin (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the low-, medium-, and high-dose cordycepin groups showed increases in stride length and paw print area (P<0.01), a decrease in ratio of wet muscle mass reduction and an increase in muscle fiber cross-sectional area (P<0.05), and increases in ratios of fat infiltration area and collagen fiber area (P<0.05, P<0.01). In addition, cordycepin lowered the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.05, P<0.01), down-regulated the protein levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα (P<0.01), and up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of Wnt3a, Wnt10b, and β-catenin (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionCordycepin can improve the limb function, alleviate rotator cuff muscle atrophy, fat infiltration, and fibrosis, and inhibit inflammation in rats by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
