In recent years, research on stem cell therapy in the field of lung transplantation has gradually increased, demonstrating its potential in improving the outcomes of lung transplantation. As a treatment option for end-stage lung diseases, lung transplantation faces challenges such as scarcity of donor organs, postoperative complications and rejection. Stem cells, with their self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation capabilities, have emerged as strong candidates for alternative or adjunctive treatments. Current studies show that embryonic stem cells and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells play significant roles in lung tissue regeneration and immune regulation. However, stem cell therapy still needs to overcome issues such as the selection of cell sources, low survival rates after transplantation and unclear long-term efficacy in clinical applications. Future research should focus on exploring new stem cell sources, improving transplantation techniques and establishing efficacy evaluation systems.

Objective This study sought to establish a diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome(IBS-D)mouse model by gavage different mass concentrations sennae folium combined with chronic restraint stress,and to determine the appropriate mass concentration of sennae folium to establish IBS-D mouse model.Methods The mass concentration of sennae folium used for the IBS-D mouse model followed suggested amounts in the literature and on that basis,the mass concentration gradient was established prior to conducting the experiment.Female C57BL/6 mice were divided into a normal group(Group N),a low-dose group(Group L;0.25 g/mL sennae solution),a medium-dose group(Group M;0.50 g/mL sennae solution),and a high-dose group(Group H;1.0 g/mL sennae solution),with 10 mice per group.After 14 days,the defecation,diarrhea index,visceral sensitivity,and morphological changes in the colonic tissue in each group were observed and recorded to compare the differences among models established with varying mass concentrations of sennae folium.Results Compared with Group N(42.90±11.90)%,Group L(80.30±5.77)%,Group M(80.50±3.44)%,and Group H(81.90±2.68)%had significantly higher 6 h fecal water content(P＜0.01).Compared with Group N(0.00±0.00),the diarrhea index of mice in Group L(0.57±0.16),Group M(0.62±0.23),and Group H(0.60,0.23)also increased significantly(P＜0.01).Compared with Group N(0.65(0.60,0.65)),Group M(0.32(0.24,0.39))and Group H(0.34(0.27,0.47))had significantly lower visceral pain threshold and higher visceral sensitivity(P＜0.01).Additionally,the first blue stool time in Group M(98.15(93.41,100.44)min)was significantly shorter than that in Group N(186.81(109.28,192.05)min)(P＜0.01),and the total number of stools in Group M(22.4±3.73)was significantly higher than that in Group N(17.90±4.48)(P＜0.05).Conclusions Compared with 0.25 and 1.0 g/mL,0.50 g/mL sennae folium gavage,combined with chronic restraint stress,can better simulate the clinical symptoms of IBS-D.

Lung transplantation is currently the only recognized effective treatment for end-stage lung disease and has improved the quality of life for patients. However, lung transplantation still faces many challenges, including rejection, infection, post-transplant acute kidney injury, post-transplant diabetes mellitus, ischemia-reperfusion injury and donor shortage, etc. Chinese lung transplantation scholars made a series of important progress in the field of clinical research in 2024, focusing on the study and solution of the above problems, and providing new ideas for lung transplantation surgery. This article systematically reviews the clinical research and technological innovation in the field of lung transplantation in 2024, summarizes the achievements of clinical research in the field of lung transplantation in China in 2024, and aims to providing new directions and strategies for future research.

Lung transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage lung diseases and can significantly improve prognosis of the patients. However, postoperative complications such as infection, rejection, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and other challenges (like shortage of donor lungs) , limit the practical application of lung transplantation in clinical practice. Chinese research teams have been making continuous efforts and have achieved breakthroughs in basic research on lung transplantation by integrating emerging technologies and cutting-edge achievements from interdisciplinary fields, which has strongly propelled the development of this field. This article will comprehensively review the academic progress made by Chinese research teams in the field of lung transplantation in 2024, with a focus on the achievements of Chinese teams in basic research on lung transplantation. It aims to provide innovative ideas and strategies for key issues in the basic field of lung transplantation and to help China's lung transplantation cause reach a higher level.

【Objective】 To observe the changes of coagulation factor activity and protein content of the thawed fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and fresh liquid plasma (FLP) during storage at 2-6℃, and to provide reference for exploring the appropriate storage time of FFP at 2-6℃ after thawing. 【Methods】 The small-thaw group and the large-thaw group were respectively detected for the activity of coagulation factor FⅤ (FⅤ∶C) and FⅧ(FⅧ∶C), and the levels of fibrinogen (Fib), total protein (TP) and albumin (Alb) in TTP at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days after thawing. And the FLP was detected for FⅤ∶C, FⅧ∶C, Fib, TP and Alb at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 days and 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26 and 31 days after preparation, respectively. 【Results】 In FFP group, FⅧ∶C decreased gradually with the prolongation of storage time after melting (P<0.05), and decreased by 37.4% and 47.6% respectively in the two groups on the 7th day. There was no statistical difference in FⅤ∶C, Fib, TP and Alb (P>0.05). In FLP group, FⅧ∶C decreased gradually with the prolongation of storage time after melting (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in FⅤ∶C in 7-day storage group (P>0.05), but it decreased gradually in 31-day storage group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in Fib, TP and Alb (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Although FⅧ∶C is decreased in thawed FFP stored at 2-6℃ for 7 days, it is still about 52.4%, which should be able to play a normal role in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the effect of physical activity trajectories on cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults.Methods:Based on data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) from 2011 to 2020, 809 participants aged ≥45 were selected. General data, physical activity levels, and cognitive function were collected. The group-based trajectory model (GBTM) was used to establish the physical activity trajectory model, and multiple linear regression was applied to investigate factors affecting cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults and to analyze the relationship between physical activity trajectories and cognitive function.Results:The cognitive function score for the 809 middle-aged and older adults was (11.71±4.60), and the logarithmic metabolic equivalent of physical activity was (8.38±1.06). Based on GBTM, four physical activity trajectories were identified: stable group, slow-increase group, rapid-decrease group, and stable-decrease group. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the stable and slow-increase activity trajectories, gender, age, marital status, and retirement status were significant factors influencing cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Physical activity trajectories are associated with cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults. Maintaining stable or slowly increasing physical activity is beneficial for cognitive health. Nurses should design targeted interventions based on factors influencing cognitive function.
