Acute-on-chronic liver failure （ACLF） is a complex clinical syndrome， and early identification and accurate prognostic evaluation are of great importance for patient treatment and management. In recent years， with in-depth research on the pathogenesis of ACLF， multiple prognostic biomarkers have been proposed and used in clinical practice. This article systematically reviews the research advances in prognostic biomarkers for ACLF from the aspects of clinical predictive models， immunological biomarkers， metabolic biomarkers， genetic and epigenetic biomarkers， microbiome-related biomarkers， and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and multi-omics， and it also discusses the value and application prospects of these biomarkers in the prognostic evaluation of ACLF and proposes future research directions， in order to provide a scientific and comprehensive reference for clinicians， guide individualized treatment and management of ACLF patients， and finally improve the clinical outcomes of patients.

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.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of upper urinary tract stones complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),so as to provide reference for the prevention of this disease.Methods The clinical data of 158 NAFLD patients undergoing surgical treatment in our hospital during Jan.2022 and Jul.2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether the patients were complicated with NAFLD,they were divided into the NAFLD group(n=56)and non-NAFLD group(n=102).The general data,laboratory indexes and 24-h urinary metabolic indexes were compared between the two groups,and the risk factors were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results Compared with the non NAFLD group,the NAFLD group had higher BMI[(28.17±4.17)vs.(24.11±3.72),P＜0.001],blood uric acid[(354.13±111.01)μmol/L vs.(294.41±93.72)μmol/L,P＜0.001],and 24-h urinary oxalate level[(37.74±15.00)mmol vs.(27.73±15.27)mmol,P＜0.001].Multivariate logistic analysis showed that BMI(OR=1.311,P＜0.001),24-h urinary oxalate(OR=1.046,P=0.004),and 24-h urinary magnesium(OR=0.599,P=0.002)were the independent factors for NAFLD with upper urinary tract stones.Conclusion NAFLD complicated with upper urinary tract stones is significantly associated with high BMI,high 24-h urinary oxalate,and low 24-h urinary magnesium.

Hepatitis B virus（HBV）infection poses a significant global health burden，with chronic infection driving progression to cirrhosis，hepatic failure，and hepatocellular carcinoma（HCC）. Mounting evidence implicates immune dysfunction and microbiota dysbiosis as core drivers of disease progression across all HBV infection stages. Gut and tissue-specific microbiota alterations disrupt innate/adaptive immunity，fueling inflammation，immunosuppression，and tumor immune evasion in chronic and end-stage disease. This review synthesizes mechanisms of immune-microbiota interplay in HBV pathogenesis and explores their translational potential for diagnostics and targeted interventions，including microbiota modulation and microbial biomarker applications.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Guben Fangxiao Beverage （固本防哮饮） for the prevention and treatment of chronic airway inflammation during asthma remission. MethodsThirty-six female Balb/c mice were randomly divided into normal group， model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose of Guben Fangxiao Beverage group and montelukast sodium group， with 6 mice in each group. Except for the normal group， ovalbumin and respiratory syncytial virus were used in other groups to establish a mouse model of bronchial asthma in remission stage. After molding， the low-， medium-， and high-dose groups of Guben Fangxiao Beverage were respectively given 12， 24， and 36 g/（kg·d）， the montelukast sodium group was given montelukast sodium granule 2.6 mg/（kg·d）， and the mice in the normal group and model group were given 20 ml of double-distilled water， all by gavage， once a day for 28 days. The levels of interleukin 4 （IL-4） and interleukin 5 （IL-5） in the lung tissue of mice were detected； HE staining was used to observe the pathology of the lung tissue and to score the inflammation； DHE staining was used to observe the level of reactive oxygen species （ROS） in the lung tissue， and the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ， Ⅱ， Ⅲ， Ⅳ， and Ⅴ in the lung tissue were detected； the levels of serum superoxide dismutase （SOD）， catalase （CAT）， malondialdehyde （MDA） and adenosine triphosphate （ATP） were detected； the protein expression levels of phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （p-AMPK）， nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， haem oxygenase 1 （HO-1） and cAMP responsive element binding protein （CREB） in the lung tissues of the model group were detected by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the histopathological results of the lungs of mice in the model group showed an increase in inflammatory cells around the airways and an increase in inflammatory score； DHE staining showed an increase in the level of ROS， and an increase in the levels of IL-4 and IL-5 in the lung tissues； the levels of serum SOD， CAT， and ATP were reduced， and the level of MDA was elevated； the activities of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ， Ⅱ， Ⅲ， Ⅳ， and Ⅴ of the lung tissues were reduced， and the activities of p-AMPK， Nrf2， CREB protein expression decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the lung tissue inflammatory cells and inflammation scores of mice in each Guben Fangxiao Beverage dose group and montelukast sodium group were reduced； the levels of ROS， IL-4 and IL-5 in the lung tissue were reduced； the levels of CAT and ATP in the serum increased， and the content of MDA was reduced； and the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ and Ⅱ， as well as the expression of CREB protein， were elevated in the lung tissue （P＜0.05）. Compared with the high-dose group， the MDA level of the medium-dose Guben Fangxiao Beverage group decreased （P＜0.05）. The activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex V in the medium-dose group was higher than that in the montelukast sodium group， and the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅳ in the medium- and high-dose groups was higher than that in the low-dose group （P＜0.05）. ConclusionGuben Fangxiao Beverage can inhibit oxidative stress and improve mitochondrial function to relieve chronic airway inflammation in bronchial asthma model mice during asthma remission， and its mechanism may be related to the activation of AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze the latent profiles of active aging among community older adults and its influencing factors,and explore relationship of different categories and nursing care needs.Methods Multistage stratified random sampling was used to select 341 community older people in Qingdao from June 2023 to August 2023 as the survey population.The study instruments included the General Information Questionnaire,the Active Ageing Scale,the Care Needs of the Elderly Scale.Latent profile analysis was used to explore the latent profiles of active aging on the community older adults.The influencing factors of latent profiles were identified by multivariate Logistic regression.Results The active aging of the community older people was identified as a model with 3 latent categories,defined as low active aging type(38.l％),medium active aging-high spiritual intelligence type type(51.6％),and high active aging-comprehensive type(10.3％).The influencing factors include age,education,monthly income level,nursing needs(all P＜0.05).Community older adults with low self-development and contribution needs are more likely to be low active aging type.Community older adults with high needs for life care and living environment(OR=3.268,P=0.0l 1),physical and psychological support(OR=1.972,P=0.025),and interpersonal communication and health knowledge(OR=3.433,P＜0.001)were more likely to be medium active aging-high spiritual intelligence type.Those with low protection and security needs(OR=0.446,P=0.012)were more likely to be medium active aging-high spiritual intelligence type type.Community older adults with low health monitoring needs(OR=0.297,P=0.029)and high specialty care needs(OR=3.019,P=0.033)were more likely to be high active aging-comprehensive type.Conclusion The level of active aging of older adults in the community is medium,which is characterized by 3 categories.Community nursing staffs should focus on the elderly with low active aging type and medium active aging-high spiritual intelligence type,and targeted intervention should be adopted according to different category characteristics,so as to accurately meet their nursing needs,finally improve the level of active aging of community older adults.

Objective:To evaluate the differences and aesthetic meaning of stable vitiligo treatment in the face and neck region using suction blister transplantation or noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells.Methods:Sixty-four stable vitiligo patients (25 males and 39 females with age ranges from 10 to 46 years, average 25 years) in the face and neck region were randomly divided into two groups (32 patients in each group): one group received suction blister transplantation, while other group received noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells. Patients′treatment effectiveness, pigmentation and piecing deformity were evaluated in postoperative 3 months and 6 months.Results:In the postoperative 3 months and 6 months, the effectiveness of suction blister transplantation group was 68.75% (22/32) and 90.63% (29/32), respectively, while the effectiveness of noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells group was 59.37% (19/32) and 87.50% (28/32), respectively, in which no significant differences were found between two groups ( P>0.05). No obvious pigmentation and piecing deformity were found in noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells group, which were much better than the suction blister transplantation group in postoperative 3 months and 6 months. Conclusions:Both suction blister transplantation and noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells could bring good treatment effectiveness for patients of stable vitiligo in the face and neck region. Compared with suction blister transplantation, noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells could offer better aesthetic appearance.
