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.

Diannan Su's bone-setting school is one of the orthopedic schools of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and Su Caichen,a famous bone-setting physician in Diannan,is the key figure of Diannan Su's bone-setting school.This paper systematically summarized Su Caichen's bone-setting academic thoughts of"adaptation","harmonization"and"recovery",presented his core bone-setting concepts of"original traumatic chamber","bone-setting prior to activating blood and vessles,bone-setting together with soothing tendons and then fracture healing naturally after the removal of stasis",and introduced his five kinds of bone-setting manipulations for treating the common upper limb fractures in detail,namely shaking and pushing manipulations for distal radius fracture,floating manipulations for fracture of both ulna and radius,five-step manipulations for supracondylar fractures of humerus,staging manipulations for humeral shaft fracture,and degloving manipulations for proximal humeral fractures complicated with shoulder dislocation.Su Caichen's bone-setting academic thoughts,bone-setting concepts and his specific TCM bone-setting manipulations have constructed the academic and theoretical system of Diannan Su's bone-setting school,which will provide an approach for TCM treatment of orthopedic diseases,and will promote the inheritance and development of the specific TCM orthopedic schools.

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 analyze the influencing factors of China′s DRG payment system reform(DRG reform) and its hierarchical relationship, for references for the in-depth promotion of China′s medical insurance payment reform.Methods:Relevant literature on DRG reform in China from databases such as CNKI, Wanfang Database, Pubmed, etc, were obtained. Content analysis method was used to extract the influencing factors of DRG reform. The correlation between each influencing factor was determined through expert discussion. An interpretive structural model(ISM) was constructed to analyze the hierarchical relationship of factors influencing DRG reform.Results:After analysis, the influencing factors(12) of DRG reform in China were included such as medical level, hospital management, and medical staff′s cognition and behavior. Among them, the local situation was the deep-level factor affecting DRG reform, 9 factors such as data quality assurance and policy design/implementation were the middle-level factors, and patients′ interests/needs and disease grouping were the surface-level factors.Conclusions:There were many influencing factors on the reform of China′s DRG payment system. It was suggested that relevant management departments in various regions should focus on the actual situation of the locality, take data quality and policy design and implementation as the key points of reform, formulate a scientific and reasonable DRG grouping scheme, safeguard the interests of patients, so as to promote the deepening of DRG reform.

Follicular lymphoma(FL)is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,and its treatment options face many challenges.This paper discusses the pathogenesis and treatment of FL based on the clear-turbid theory in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)."The clear and the turbid being related,and the rise and fall of qi being disorderly"is the basic pathogenesis of FL.As the disease progres-ses,"evil qi being blocked inside,and turbid evil harming the clear"aggravates,and finally"evil qi is strong and the disease progres-ses,and evil poison is generated inside".Based on this theory,the method of raising the clear and lowering the turbid and the method of dispersing the clear and removing the turbid are proposed to treat FL.The emphasis of raising the clear and lowering the turbid is to take raising and lowering as the key,movement and stillness as the pivot,and to treat the middle jiao;the emphasis of dispersing the clear and removing the turbid is to clear the triple jiao,warm the yang and invigorate the qi,and harmonize the spleen and kidney.Ca-ses are attached to illustrate,providing new ideas for the TCM treatment of FL.

This study aims to establish BHK-21 stable cell lines expressing APN from four species(human,pig,dog,and cat),the APN fragments were amplified from pEGFP-C1-APN plasmids of the four species stored in the laboratory to generate the recombinant plasmids pcDNA4.0-APN.Af-ter the recombinant plasmids were transfected into BHK-21 cells,the stable BHK-21 cell lines ex-pressing the APNs were selected by two rounds of limited dilution.The constructed BHK-21 cell lines were identified by indirect immunofluorescence assay(IFA),and their susceptibility to PD-CoV and TGEV was tested for these four cell lines.Virus infection experiments revealed that PD-CoV infected cells expressing human,pig,and dog APNs,while it did not infect cells expressing cat APN.Simultaneously,TGEV infected cells expressing pig,dog,and cat APNs,but did not infect cells expressing human APN.The results suggest that the risk of cross-species infection for different coronaviruses and the established cell line can be used effectively to evaluate the virus in-fection.The findings also revealed that PDCoV has the potential risk of cross-species infection of human and dog,and TGEV has the potential risk of cross-species infection of dog and cat.These results provide a basis for the prevention and control strategy of coronaviruses.

Objective:To investigate the expression of lysosome-associated membrane protein 3(LAMP3)and activating transcription factor 4(ATF4)in cervical cancer and their correlation with clinicopathological parameters.Methods:The expression of LAMP3 and ATF4 in normal cervical tissues,cervical intraepithelial lesions,and cervical cancer tissues was detected by SP immunohistochemistry.The relationships between the expression of these two proteins and patient clinicopathological parameters were analyzed,as well as the correlation between LAMP3 and ATF4 expression.Results:LAMP3 was negative or lowly expressed in both normal cervix tissues and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions,but highly expressed in cervical cancer tissues(38.3%),showing a statistically significant difference(χ2=14.113,P=0.001).ATF4 was highly expressed in 26.7%of the normal cervix tissues,10.0%of the high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions,and 58.3%in the cervical cancer tissues,also showing a significant difference(χ2=11.078,P=0.004).In cervical cancer,LAMP3 expression was significantly associated with FIGO stage(χ2=10.139,P=0.006)and lymph node metastasis(χ2=8.475,P=0.004);ATF4 expression was significantly associated with tumor size(χ2=4.578,P=0.032),FIGO stage(χ2=8.971,P=0.009),and lymph node metastasis(χ2=7.881,P=0.005).There was a positive correlation between the expression of LAMP3 and ATF4 in cervical cancer tissues(r=0.388,P=0.002).Conclusion:LAMP3 and ATF4 are highly expressed in cervical cancer tissues and are positively correlated.Both of them play important roles in the development and progression of cervical cancer and could serve as potential therapeutic targets for cervical cancer treatment.
