Liver transplantation is a radical treatment for progressive and irreversible end-stage liver disease. However, its clinical application has always been restricted by the core bottleneck of donor liver shortage. Living donor liver transplantation can alleviate the shortage of donor livers to a certain extent, but it requires simultaneous assurance of sufficient residual liver volume in donors to avoid liver insufficiency, as well as an adequate graft-to-recipient weight ratio to prevent small-for-size syndrome, which limits its clinical application. Dual-donor liver transplantation utilizes partial liver tissues from two donors as grafts. While ensuring donor safety, avoiding small-for-size syndrome in recipients, and expanding the donor pool, this technique significantly improves the utilization rate of donor livers and effectively eases the clinical contradiction of donor liver shortage. Based on recent domestic and international clinical practices and the latest diagnosis and treatment guidelines, this article systematically reviews the developmental background, donor and recipient evaluation and selection, surgical procedures and postoperative complications of dual-donor liver transplantation, aiming to provide references for the standardized promotion and clinical optimization of this technique.

In recent years, with the improvement of people's awareness of physical examination and the more accurate detection equipment, the detection rate of pulmonary nodules is getting higher and higher. Surgical resection is the first choice for the treatment of malignant pulmonary nodules, but multiple pulmonary nodules, nodules in complex areas and those with surgical contraindications are not suitable for surgery. As an effective, less invasive and low-cost treatment, ablation has developed rapidly in the treatment of multiple pulmonary nodules. This article introduces the progress of several common ablation techniques (radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation) in the treatment of multiple pulmonary nodules, the indications and contraindications of ablation techniques, the efficacy evaluation and complications after ablation therapy, and the prospects of ablation techniques in the treatment of multiple pulmonary nodules.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects of Compound qinbai granules on ulcerative colitis （UC） in rats and its mechanism based on short-chain fatty acid （SCFA） and their targets G protein-coupled receptor （GPR）. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group （12 rats） and model group （30 rats）； the model group was given 5% dextran sulfate sodium solution to induce the UC model. Model rats were divided into the model group， positive control group [Mesalazine enteric-coated tablets 270 mg/（kg·d）] and Compound qinbai granules group [2.52 g/（kg·d）]， with 9 rats in each group. Rats in each group were orally administered with normal saline or corresponding medication twice a day， for three consecutive weeks. During intragastric administration， the general conditions of rats in each group were observed， and the disease activity index （DAI） scores were assessed after the last administration. Serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines （tumor necrosis factor-α， interleukin-6） and anti-inflammatory cytokines （transforming growth factor-β1， interleukin-10） were measured. Pathological changes in their colonic tissues were observed and scored. Additionally， the content of SCFA （acetic acid， propionic acid and butyric acid） in their feces as well as the protein and mRNA expressions of GPR41， GPR43 and GPR109A in colonic tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with the normal group， rats in the model group exhibited lethargy and obvious blood in their feces； the colonic tissue structure was severely damaged， with pathological changes such as notable glandular loss， edema， and inflammatory cell infiltration visible； the serum levels of pro- inflammatory cytokines， DAI score and colonic pathology score were significantly increased， while the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines， SCFA content， and protein and mRNA expressions of GPR41， GPR43 and GPR109A were significantly decreased or down-regulated （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the general condition and pathological changes of colonic tissue in each administration group showed improvement， with significant reversal observed in the aforementioned quantitative indicators （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Compound qinbai granules can alleviate intestinal inflammation and intestinal mucosal damage in UC rats. These effects may be related to its ability to restore intestinal SCFA levels and the expression of their target GPR.

Objective To develop and validate an early venous thromboembolism(VTE)risk assessment scale for emergency observation patients.Methods ① Based on the characteristics of emergency observation patients,the Delphi expert consultation method and literature review were used to determine scale items and construct a scoring system.②The newly developed VTE scale and its scoring system were analyzed for reliability and validity.③Primary application:collect non acute traumatic observation and rescue patients admitted to Zhejiang Hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 as the research subjects.Patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups based on 28-day outcomes.Differences in VTE scores between the two groups using the new scale,Caprini,and Padua models were compared.The optimal cut-off point was determined using the receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve),according to the optimal cut-off value of the new scale score,patients were divided into two groups,and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze the 28-day cumulative survival of the two groups of patients.Results ①The preliminary version of the early VTE risk assessment scale for emergency observation patients was developed,comprising 8 items:age,pre examination triage level,underlying diseases,D-dimer levels,activities of daily living(ADL)assessment,coagulation-related indicators,anticoagulants and(or)antiplatelet drugs use,and unhealthy habits.② A total of 121 emergency observation patients were included in the analysis.The test-retest reliability correlation coefficient(R)of the new scale was 0.945(>0.850),split-half reliability was 0.741(>0.700),and Cronbach'sαcoefficient was>0.700.KMO value was 0.715(>0.700),and Bartlett's sphericity test yieldedχ2=167.079,P<0.001,confirming the suitability of the scale for factor analysis.Three factors were identified:basic information,initial assessment,and blood test indicators.Pearson correlation analysis showed the correlation coefficients between the new scale and the Caprini and Padua scores were 0.842 and 0.307,respectively,both P<0.01.③Area under the curve(AUC)of the new scale was 0.566,95%confidence interval(95%CI)was 0.444-0.688,with an optimal diagnostic cut-off value of 13.5 points based on the maximum Youden index.The results of the Kaplan-Meier regression indicated that survival analysis using the 13.5-point cut-off revealed that patients with scores≥13.5 had significantly lower 28-day survival rates than those with scores<13.5(Log-Rank test:χ2=5.609,P=0.018).④The survival group had significantly lower scores than the non-survival group across all scales(new score:10.06±2.84 vs.12.69±3.06,Caprini model:7.22±2.48 vs.9.41±2.64,Padua model:2.91±1.97 vs.4.59±1.07,all P<0.05).Conclusion The early VTE risk assessment scale for emergency observation patients was successfully developed,demonstrating good reliability and validity through statistical analysis.The new scale effectively predicts disease severity and prognosis in emergency observation patients.

[Objective]To evaluate the utility of left atrial(LA)volume and strain measured by 4D auto left atrial quantification(4D auto LAQ)in differentiating pre-capillary from post-capillary pulmonary hypertension(PH),and to compare its discriminative performance with echocardiographic pulmonary to left atrial global strain ratio(ePLAGS).[Methods]A total of ninety-eight subjects with intermediate to high probability of PH were prospectively enrolled.Clinical history and laboratory data were collected.All patients underwent comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography,and LA volume and strain parameters were measured by dedicated commercial software for LA 4D analysis.[Results]Based on pulmonary arterial wedge pressure,patients were divided into pre-capillary PH group[n=39;mean age(53±24)years]and post-capillary PH group[n=59;mean age(57±18)years].Compared to the pre-capillary PH group,the post-capillary PH group showed significantly higher LAVImax,LAVImin and LAVIpreA but markedly lower LASr and LAScd.Multivariate logistic regression identified LAVImax[OR:1.40;95%CI:(1.052,1.872);P=0.021]and LAScd[OR:1.76;95%CI:(1.183,2.489);P=0.004]as independent predictors of post-capillary PH.ROC analysis demonstrated that LAVImax(AUC=0.82,P＜0.001)and LAScd(AUC=0.78,P＜0.001)had strong discriminating power for predicting post-capillary PH group,with optimal cutoff values of 35.69 mL/m2(sensitivity 86%,specificity 74%)and-9%(sensitivity 80%,specificity70%).[Conclusion]LAVImax and LAScd measured with 4D auto LAQ are robust parameters for distinguishing pre-capillary PH from post-capillary PH.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

This article elaborates on the organizational structure, team building, and operational process of the MDT general practice clinic for comorbidities; analyzes the characteristics of patients and the implementation effects, to provide a reference for comorbidity patient service in general hospitals.

Objective:To understand the characteristics of new infections in the newly reported HIV-1 infected population in Luzhou, to find out the characteristics of the high-risk population, which may provide a basis for developing precise prevention and control measures locally.Methods:HIV-1 LAg Avidity EIA test was applied for newly reported cases in Luzhou from 2018 to 2021. The chi-square test was used for univariate analysis, logistic regression model for multivariate analysis, and spatial autocorrelation and hotspot analysis were applied to explore the spatial distribution characteristics of new infections in Luzhou city.Results:A total of 4 494 cases reported in the odd-numbered months were selected for testing, with 673 newly infected cases and the proportion of newly infected cases was 14.98%. Newly infected cases were predominantly male (472/673, 70.13%), married (335/673, 49.78%), heterosexual transmission (621/673, 92.27%), age>50 years (520/673, 77.27%), and junior high school or lower education (599/673, 89.00%). The proportion of new infections in each year were 11.74% (129/1 099), 17.11% (247/1 444), 13.57% (154/1 134) and 17.50% (143/817), respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=20.024, P<0.001) and an upward trend ( χ2=5.997, P=0.014). There were statistically significant differences in different transmission routes, gender, education level, occupation, sample source and residence (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, marital status, transmission route, current address, and sample source were all influencing factors for new infections. There are spatial autocorrelation characteristics of new case incidence in 2018 and 2021, hotspot areas gradually shifted from dispersed to relatively concentrated, with the number fluctuating with reported year. Conclusions:The proportion of new HIV-1 infections in Luzhou is relatively low throughout the province, but it is on the rise. The proportion of new infections is higher among youth, students, homosexual transmission, and retired persons. Attention should be focused on hotspot areas and routine surveillance and testing of key populations in hotspot areas should be strengthened.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To explore the differences in positive psychological resources among elementary and secondary school students with and without non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)behaviors.Methods Between September and October 2023,the assessment data of 56 870 students aged 9 to 18 years in Chengdu,Sichuan Province were collected.The R software package was used to evaluate the network structure and symptom centrality,and the global strength and structural differences of the networks of students with and without NSSI behaviors in elementary,junior high,and senior high schools were compared.Results The prevalence of NSSI among elementary and secondary school students stands at 12.21%.Specifically,it peaks in junior high school students,reaching 14.22%,followed by that in senior middle school students at 13.66%,and is lowest in elementary school students at 10.17%.Regarding the network structure in elementary school students,irrespective of the presence or absence of NSSI behavior,subjective support exhibits the strongest network strength,and family functioning demonstrates the highest closeness centrality.Among junior high school students without NSSI behaviors,the strongest network strength was observed in subjective support,whereas for those with NSSI behaviors,self-esteem showed the strongest network strength.In addition,subjective support exhibited the highest closeness centrality in both groups.In senior high school students,self-esteem was the factor with the strongest network strength for students with or without NSSI behaviors.For senior high school students without NSSI,subjective support had the highest closeness centrality,while for those with NSSI,expressive suppression showed the highest closeness centrality.The edge weights differed significantly among elementary school students in family functioning-self-esteem(E=0.093)and family functioning-objective support(E=0.087).For junior high school students,significant differences were found in objective support-subjective support(E=0.131)and family functioning-impulse control(E=0.109).Among senior high school students,significant differences were observed in impulse control-family function(E=0.133)and subjective support-utilization of support(E=0.130)(P<0.05).Conclusion Excessive family involvement in elementary school students and expressive suppression in senior high school students may be important influencing factors for NSSI behaviors.The lack of social support has a greater impact on junior and senior high school students.The strength of the connection among subjective support,objective support,and utilization of support is an important indicator.
