Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and major allergens of patients with pollen-food allergy syndrome（PFAS） and their correlation with the severity of symptoms, and to provide a basis for identifying high-risk patients, optimizing the allergen testing process and developing individualized dietary management strategies. Methods:The clinical data of 166 patients with PFAS admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical symptoms, pollen types and food allergy of the patients were analyzed by questionnaire survey and serum specific IgE detection. phi coefficient, Apriori algorithm modeling and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the association between allergen and symptom severity. Results:Artemisia pollen was the most common allergen in this area, with a positive rate of 96.39%. Peach and mango were the most common food allergens, which caused allergic reactions in 24.10% and 22.89% of patients, respectively. Oral mucosal symptoms were the main symptoms. Correlation analysis showed that there was a correlation between pollen allergens and allergenic food. Association rule analysis showed that when the patient was allergic to the combination of peanuts and trees, the probability of high severity of symptoms was 82.35%. Multivariate analysis showed that ragweed allergy was significantly positively correlated with the severity of PFAS symptoms. Conclusion:Artemisia pollen and related food allergens play an important role in the pathogenesis of PFAS. Association rule mining and network map analysis revealed direct associations between peanut and tree combination allergy and symptom severity, as well as potential links between other inhaled allergens and specific food allergies. Ragweed and peach allergy are independent risk factors for the aggravation of PFAS symptoms, which can be used as early warning indicators. These results help to improve the screening of high-risk patients and the construction of regional allergen databases.

Periodontal bone defects, primarily caused by periodontitis, are highly prevalent in clinical settings and manifest as bone fenestration, dehiscence, or attachment loss, presenting a significant challenge to oral health. In regenerative medicine, harnessing developmental principles for tissue repair offers promising therapeutic potential. Of particular interest is the condensation of progenitor cells, an essential event in organogenesis that has inspired clinically effective cell aggregation approaches in dental regeneration. However, the precise cellular coordination mechanisms during condensation and regeneration remain elusive. Here, taking the tooth as a model organ, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing to dissect the cellular composition and heterogeneity of human dental follicle and dental papilla, revealing a distinct Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) population with remarkable odontogenic potential. Interestingly, a reciprocal paracrine interaction between PDGFRA⁺ dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs) and CD31⁺ Endomucin⁺ endothelial cells (ECs) was mediated by Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and Platelet-derived growth factor subunit BB (PDGFBB). This crosstalk not only maintains the functionality of PDGFRA⁺ DFSCs but also drives specialized angiogenesis. In vivo periodontal bone regeneration experiments further reveal that communication between PDGFRA⁺ DFSC aggregates and recipient ECs is essential for effective angiogenic-osteogenic coupling and rapid tissue repair. Collectively, our results unravel the importance of MSC-EC crosstalk mediated by the VEGFA and PDGFBB-PDGFRA reciprocal signaling in orchestrating angiogenesis and osteogenesis. These findings not only establish a framework for deciphering and promoting periodontal bone regeneration in potential clinical applications but also offer insights for future therapeutic strategies in dental or broader regenerative medicine.

Resistance to poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) presents a considerable obstacle in the treatment of ovarian cancer. F-box and tryptophan-aspartic (WD) repeat domain containing 11 (FBXW11) modulates the ubiquitination of growth-and invasion-related factors in lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and osteosarcoma. The function of FBXW11 in PARPi therapy is still ambiguous. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) showed that FBXW11 expression was raised in ovarian cancer cells that had been treated with PARPi. FBXW11 was abnormally expressed at low levels in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) tissues, and low levels of FBXW11 were associated with shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in HGSOC patients. Overexpressing FBXW11 made ovarian cancer more sensitive to PARPi, while knocking down FBXW11 made it less sensitive. The four-dimensional (4D) label-free quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that FBXW11 targeted S100 calcium binding protein A11 (S100A11) and promoted its degradation through ubiquitination. The increased degradation of S100A11 led to less efficient DNA damage repair, which in turn contributed to increased PARPi-induced DNA damage. The role of FBXW11 in promoting PARPi sensitivity was also confirmed in xenograft mouse models. In summary, our study confirms that FBXW11 promotes the susceptibility of ovarian cancer cells to PARPi via affecting S100A11-mediated DNA damage repair.

Objective To investigate the effects of exosomes (Exo) derived from high glucose-stimulated glomerular mesangial cells (GMC) on the kidneys of C57BL/6 mice and the intervention mechanism of Tongluo Yishen Formula (TLYSF). Methods The rat GMC were divided into a normal glucose group (NG, with 5.6 mmol/L glucose) and a high glucose group (HG, with 30 mmol/L glucose). After 24 hours of culture, the supernatant was collected, and exosomes were extracted using the ultracentrifugation method. The exosomes were then identified by transmission electron microscopy and Western blot analysis. Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: NO-Exo group, NG-Exo group, and HG-Exo group. These groups were respectively administered tail vein injections of PBS buffer, exosomes derived from GMC cultured in normal glucose, and exosomes derived from GMC cultured in high glucose, three times a week for a total of 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, the mice in the HG-Exo group were randomly divided into three subgroups: the HG-Exo group [gavaged with saline], the HG-Exo+TLYSF group [gavaged with TLYSF at 34.32 g/(kg.d)], and the HG-Exo + VAL group [gavaged with valsartan suspension at 10.4 mg/(kg.d)], and the intervention lasted for 4 weeks. Urinary microalbumin (mALb), urinary N-acetyl-β-D-aminoglucosidase (NAG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum creatinine (Scr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) were detected. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of renal tissues. TUNEL was used to detect the DNA damage of renal tissue cells. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and wilms tumor 1(WT-1). RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of NLRP3, cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase 1 (caspase-1), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), miR-200c-3p and miR-148a-3p. Western Blot was employed to detect the protein expression of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), caspase-1 and IL-1β. Results Compared with the NG-Exo group, mice in the HG-Exo group exhibited significantly increased levels of mALb, urinary NAG, Scr and BUN. Transmission electron microscopy revealed ruptured podocyte membranes and swollen mitochondria. The positive rate of cells stained by the TUNEL increased, with elevated optical density of NLRP3 and decreased optical density of WT-1. Additionally, there was a significant increase in the level of NLRP3, caspase-1, IL-1β mRNA, as well as miR-200c-3p and miR-148a-3p. The protein expression of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β also increased. Compared with HG-Exo group, mice in the HG-Exo+TLYSF group showed decreased levels of mALb, urinary NAG, Scr, and BUN. The podocyte membranes were relatively intact, and mitochondrial damage was alleviated. The positive rate of cells stained by the TUNEL decreased, along with a reduction in the optical density of NLRP3 and an increase in the optical density of WT-1. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, IL-1β, miR-200c-3p, and miR-148a-3p were all downregulated to varying degrees. The protein expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β also decreased. Conclusion Exosomes derived from GMC stimulated by high glucose can damage the kidneys of mice and induce podocyte pyroptosis. TLYSF may ameliorate podocyte pyroptosis by downregulating the expression of exosomal miR-200c-3p and miR-148a-3p and inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3/ASC/caspase-1 pathway.

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 value of the vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS) score based on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) combined with quantitative tumor MRI parameters in assessing the muscle invasion of bladder cancer.Methods:The study was a case-control study. The data of 87 bladder cancer patients confirmed by pathology who underwent mpMRI of the bladder were retrospectively collected from the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2019 and April 2023 The pathological findings were used as the gold standard to categorize them into the muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) group (29 cases) and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) group (58 cases). Quantitative parameters were measured based on preoperative mpMRI images, including the length of tumor bladder wall contact, the perpendicular distance between the bladder tumor and the tangent of the bladder wall, the maximal diameter of the bladder tumor, and the volume of the bladder tumor. Bladder cancer was classified according to the VI-RADS scoring criteria. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for intergroup comparisons. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to obtain the independent risk factors related to muscle invasion of bladder cancer and to establish the model. The receiver operating characteristic curves were analyzed for MRI quantitative parameters and logistic regression models, and area under the curve (AUC) comparisons were performed using the DeLong test. Results:The differences in tumor bladder wall contact length, perpendicular distance from the tumor to the tangent line of the bladder wall, maximum diameter, bladder tumor volume, and the VI-RADS scores were statistically significant between the MIBC group and the NMIBC group ( P<0.05). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that tumor bladder wall contact length ( OR=21.07, 95% CI 3.56-124.89, P=0.001) and VI-RADS score ( OR=11.90, 95% CI 3.53-40.12, P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for evaluating the muscle invasion of bladder cancer. The difference between the VI-RADS score and the tumor bladder wall contact length for assessing muscular infiltration of bladder cancer had AUCs of 0.802 (95% CI 0.704-0.899) and 0.759 (95% CI 0.652-0.865). The combined model of VI-RADS score combined with tumor bladder wall contact length had an AUC of 0.891 (95% CI 0.812-0.970), which was higher than the diagnostic efficacy of applying tumor bladder wall contact length or VI-RADS score alone ( Z=3.05, 2.37, P=0.002, 0.018). Conclusion:Tumor contact length with the bladder wall is an independent risk factor for assessing muscle invasion of bladder cancer and the combination of VI-RADS score may enhances diagnostic accuracy.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic risk factors in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 101 elderly AML patients admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from January 2022 to December 2024.All patients were treated with azacitidine+venetoclax regimen.The clinical characteristics of patients and the risk factors related to prognosis were explored.Results The median follow-up was 14 months.Among the 101 patients,74 achieved complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematological recovery.The median overall survival(OS)of patients with aged ≥70 years,white blood cell count＞50 × 109/L,TP53 mutation,complex chromosomes,and high-risk European leukemia net(ELN)risk stratification was significantly shortened(P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that age(HR=0.125,95％CI:0.023-0.662,P=0.015),white blood cell count(HR=0.145,95％CI:0.032-0.662,P=0.013),and ELN risk stratification(HR=100.397,95％CI:14.395-700.207,P＜0.001)were all independent influencing factors for OS in elderly AML patients.Conclusion Age,white blood cell count and ELN risk stratification are all independent influencing factors affecting OS in elderly AML patients.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of donor-purified CD34 + stem cell boosts in patients with poor hematopoietic reconstruction (PHR) after haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) for aplastic anemia (AA) . Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 11 patients with AA and PHR who underwent haplo-HSCT and received donor-purified CD34 + stem cell boosts at Peking University People’s Hospital. Recovery of blood cell counts, incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and overall survival (OS) were assessed. Results:Of the 11 patients with PHR, two were diagnosed with prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PT), one was primary poor graft function (PGF), and eight were diagnosed with secondary PGF. The median time to PHR diagnosis was 110 days (range: 60-330 days), and the median interval from transplantation to purified CD34 + hematopoietic stem cell infusion was 194 days (range: 125-456 days). The two patients with PT achieved complete platelet recovery at 22 and 13 days after CD34 + stem cell infusion, respectively. Among the remaining nine patients with PGF, six achieved complete hematopoietic recovery, with a median absolute neutrophil count recovery time of 19 days (8-158 days), HGB recovery time of 32.5 days (range: 13-158 days), and platelet recovery time of 31.5 days (range: 7-171 days). The incidence of chronic GVHD after infusion was 18.2%, with no cases of acute GVHD observed. The OS rate was 90.9% (10/11) in the 11 patients, with a median follow-up of 614 days (range: 153-1 765 days) . Conclusion:Donor-purified CD34 + stem cell boost may be an effective therapeutic strategy for PHR in patients with AA after haplo-HSCT.
