Objective To analyze the main causes and risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 242 liver transplant recipients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2015 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether unplanned reoperation was performed during the same hospitalization after surgery, the recipients were divided into the reoperation group (n=36) and the non-reoperation group (n=206). The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of the two groups, as well as donor and graft-related data, were compared to analyze the risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation and the survival status of the two groups. Results Among the 242 liver transplant recipients, 36 underwent unplanned reoperations, with a total of 54 procedures including various laparotomies, endoscopic and interventional surgeries, among which there were 20 laparotomies, 18 endoscopic surgeries and 16 interventional surgeries. The most common cause of unplanned reoperation was biliary complications (20 times), followed by vascular complications (17 times). Compared with the non-reoperation group, the reoperation group had longer graft cold ischemia time, higher postoperative fatality rate of recipients, longer length of stay in the intensive care unit and postoperative hospital stay, and higher total hospitalization costs (all P<0.05). The incidence of unplanned reoperation was higher in recipients who underwent split liver transplantation (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 mL, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation were independent risk factors for unplanned reoperation (all P<0.05). The postoperative 7-day, 1-month, 3-month and 6-month survival rates of recipients in the reoperation group and the non-reoperation group were 100% vs. 98.1%, 88.9% vs. 94.2%, 69.4% vs. 90.8% and 66.7% vs. 90.8%, respectively, and the postoperative survival rate of recipients in the reoperation group was lower than that in the non-reoperation group (P<0.05). Conclusions The main causes of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation are biliary complications, vascular complications, abdominal incision infection and intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Intraoperative massive blood loss, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation are the risk factors associated with unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation.

Objective: To explore the relationship between non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior and serum lipid levels as well as thyroid function among college students with depression. Methods: A total of 169 college students with depression in the psychiatry departments of tertiary hospitals (grade 3A and 3B) in Ningbo from December 2023 to April 2025 were selected. The Adolescent Self injury Scale (ASIS) was used to assess the presence of NSSI, and participants were accordingly divided into a NSSI group ( n =51) and a non NSSI group ( n =118). General demographic data (including gender, age, and family situation) were collected from both groups. Blood tests were performed to measure lipid profiles [triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)] and thyroid hormones [triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)]. Multivariate Logistic regression was employed to analyze risk factors for NSSI, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum lipid and thyroid hormone levels for NSSI occurrence in college students with depression. Results: The levels of TC, LDL-C, and TSH in the NSSI group were (4.02±0.73) mmol/L, (2.32±0.36) mmol/L, and (6.57±1.95) mU/L , which were significantly higher than those in the non NSSI group [(3.41±0.56) mmol/L, (2.00±0.27) mmol/L, and ( 4.48± 1.09) mU/L, respectively] ( t =5.32, 5.60, 7.20, all P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that college students from single parent/reconstituted families, those who had experienced school bullying, and those with higher levels of TC, LDL-C, and TSH had a significantly increased risk of engaging in NSSI ( OR =5.22, 6.12, 5.90, 83.64, 3.64, all P <0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined detection of TC, LDL-C, and TSH had high diagnostic efficacy for predicting NSSI in college students with depression, with a sensitivity of 86.3% and a specificity of 94.9%. Conclusions NSSI behavior in college students with depression is associated with serum lipid levels and thyroid function. These biomarkers may serve as useful reference indicators for assessing the conditions of these patients.

The trillions of commensal microorganisms living in the gut lumen profoundly influence the physiology and pathophysiology of the liver through a unique gut-liver axis. Disruptions in the gut microbial communities, arising from environmental and genetic factors, can lead to altered microbial metabolism, impaired intestinal barrier and translocation of microbial components to the liver. These alterations collaboratively contribute to the pathogenesis of liver disease, and their continuous impact throughout the disease course plays a critical role in hepatocarcinogenesis. Persistent inflammatory responses, metabolic rearrangements and suppressed immunosurveillance induced by microbial products underlie the pro-carcinogenic mechanisms of gut microbiota. Meanwhile, intrahepatic microbiota derived from the gut also emerges as a novel player in the development and progression of liver cancer. In this review, we first discuss the causes of gut dysbiosis in liver disease, and then specify the pivotal role of gut microbiota in the malignant progression from chronic liver diseases to hepatobiliary cancers. We also delve into the cellular and molecular interactions between microbes and liver cancer microenvironment, aiming to decipher the underlying mechanism for the malignant transition processes. At last, we summarize the current progress in the clinical implications of gut microbiota for liver cancer, shedding light on microbiota-based strategies for liver cancer prevention, diagnosis and therapy.

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 influence of general medicine combined with family motivation management on the prognosis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease patients.Methods A total of 120 cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases patients who received medical care at the First People's Hospital ofFuyang District from October 2023 to October 2024 were selected as subjects.They were divided into control group(n=60)and study group(n=60)by using a random number table method.Control group received standard nursing interventions,while study group underwent combined general medicine and family motivation management.Psychological status was assessed using the self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and self-rating depression scale(SDS),with quality of life and self-management ability evaluated using the World Health Organization quality of life brief scale(WHOQOL-BREF)and exercise of self-care agency scale(ESCA).The triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),readmission rate and average length of stay before and after intervention were compared between two groups.Results After intervention,both groups showed decreased SAS and SDS scores,while WHOQOL-BREF scores and ESCA levels increased.Score of study group were statistically significant better than that of control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,HDL-C levels rose in both groups,whereas LDL-C,TG,and TC levels decreased.The improvement of each index in study group was better than that in control group(P＜0.05).The rehospitalization rate and average length of stay in study group were significantly lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of general medicine and family motivation management can effectively optimize the prognosis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease patients.

Schistosomiasis cirrhosis (SAC), as the core pathological outcome of late-stage schistosomiasis, is an important challenge to global public health. Notably, there is still a significant disease burden, especially in the traditional endemic areas, such as the Yangtze River Basin in China. SAC has unique pathogenic characteristics, including insect-derived molecular-driven disease, chronic inflammation dominated by Th2 immunity, delayed pathogenicity, noticeable symptoms of portal hypertension, and an absence of significant correlation with liver cancer. Therefore, future research should focus on the determinants of individual susceptibility to SAC onset, the core mechanism of liver lesion progression post-pathogen clearance, time nodes, and intervention methods. Additionally, finding the high-risk individuals, analyzing of pathological mechanisms, and optimizing intervention strategies will help in promoting the development of clinical prevention and control and translational research.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety profile of antaitasvir phosphate combined with yiqibuvir in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) of various genotypes, without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:394 cases with CHC from 22 centers were collected from October 2021 to April 2023. They were randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drugs (antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg) or placebo treatment in a 3∶1 ratio. The patients were administered drugs once a day for 12 consecutive weeks, and then followed up for 24 weeks after treatment cessation. All subjects were unblinded at the four-week follow-up following drug discontinuation, with the experimental drug group continuing to complete subsequent post-discontinuation follow-up. The placebo group was switched to receive the experimental drugs for a repeated 12-week treatment period and followed up for another 24 weeks after discontinuation of the drug (placebo delayed treatment phase).The sustained virologic response rate (SVR12) was observed for subjects in the double-blind phase and the placebo delayed-treatment phase at 12 weeks after treatment cessation.Virological resistance analysis was performed on subjects who failed treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint was SVR12. The number and percentage of subjects who achieved "HCV RNA

Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution is one of the major environmental problems globally. Ophiopogon japonicus, a multifunctional plant extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated potential in environmental remediation. This study investigated the Cd accumulation pattern of O. japonicus under cadmium stress and identified the heavy metal ATPase (HMA) family members in this plant. Our results demonstrated that O. japonicus exhibited a Cd enrichment factor (EF) of 2.75, demonstrating strong potential for soil Cd pollution remediation. Nine heavy metal ATPase (HMA) members of P1B-ATPases were successfully identified from the transcriptome data of O. japonicus, with OjHMA1-OjHMA6 classified as the Zn/Co/Cd/Pb-ATPases and OjHMA7-OjHMA9 as the Cu/Ag-ATPases. The expression levels of OjHMA1, OjHMA2, OjHMA3, and OjHMA7 were significantly up-regulated under Cd stress, highlighting their crucial roles in cadmium ion absorption and transport. The topological analysis revealed that these proteins possessed characteristic transmembrane (TM) segments of the family, along with functional A, P, and N domains involved in regulating ion absorption and release. Metal ion-binding sites (M4, M5, and M6) existed on the TM segments. Based on the number of transmembrane domains and the residues at metal ion-binding sites, the plant HMA family members were categorized into three subgroups: P1B-1 ATPases, P1B-2 ATPases, and P1B-4 ATPases. Specifically, the P1B-1 ATPase subgroup included the motifs TM4(CPC), TM5(YN[X]₄P), and TM6(M[XX]SS); the P1B-2 ATPase subgroup featured the motifs TM4(CPC), TM5(K), and TM6(DKTGT); the P1B-4 ATPase subgroup contained the motifs TM4(SPC) and TM6(HE[X]GT), all of which were critical for protein functions. Molecular docking results revealed the importance of conserved sequences such as CPC/SPC, DKTGT, and HE[X]GT in metal ion coordination and stabilization. These findings provide potential molecular targets for enhancing Cd uptake and tolerance of O. japonicus by genetic engineering and lay a theoretical foundation for developing new cultivars with high Cd accumulation capacity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of prealbumin-to-total bilirubin （PA/TBil） ratio on admission in predicting 90-day mortality or liver transplantation in patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure （HBV-ACLF）， as well as the effect of its combination with Model for End-Stage Liver Disease （MELD） score on the predictive performance for short-term prognosis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 216 HBV-ACLF patients who were admitted to Department of Infectious Diseases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from April 2020 to May 2025， and the patients were followed up for 3 months. According to the outcome， the patients were divided into survival group with 104 patients and death/transplantation group with 112 patients. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check whether the continuous data was in accordance with the normal distribution； the two-independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， while the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data with skewed distribution between two groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. Univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the influencing factors for prognosis， and the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to analyze the performance of each indicator in predicting the prognosis of ACLF. The area under the ROC curve （AUC） was calculated， and the Delong test was used for comparison of AUC. ResultsA total of 216 patients were enrolled in this study， with a 90-day survival rate of 48.15% （104/216）. Compared with the death/transplantation group， the survival group had significantly higher platelet count， lymphocyte count， albumin， and PA/TBil ratio （all P<0.05） and significantly lower age， white blood cell count， neutrophil count， prothrombin time， international normalized ratio， aspartate aminotransferase， total bilirubin， creatinine， and MELD score （all P<0.05）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age （odds ratio ［OR］=1.05， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.02 — 1.09， P<0.001）， PA/TBil ratio （OR=0.16， 95%CI： 0.05 — 0.46， P<0.001）， and MELD score （OR=1.09， 95%CI： 1.01 — 1.17， P=0.024） were independent influencing factors for 90-day prognosis in HBV-ACLF patients. PA/TBil ratio and MELD score used alone or in combination had an AUC of 0.760， 0.779， and 0.811， respectively， in predicting the prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients， and PA/TBil ratio combined with MELD score had a better AUC than PA/TBil ratio or MELD score used alone （Z=-2.058 and 2.017， both P<0.05）. ConclusionBoth serum PA/TBil ratio and MELD score can effectively predict the prognosis of patients with HBV-ACLF， and a combination of the two indicators had a better predictive performance than MELD score alone， which provides an important reference for clinical risk stratification management and timely intervention.

Mitophagy is an evolutionarily highly conserved selective autophagy process that maintains cellular homeostasis and mitochondrial quality control by specifically recognizing and removing damaged or superfluous mitochondria. During tumorigenesis， mitophagy eliminates damaged mitochondria and reduces the accumulation of reactive oxygen species （ROS）， thereby helping to sustain cellular homeostasis. Energy metabolism refers to the core biological process through which cells convert chemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate （ATP） via biochemical pathways such as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation， providing energy for cellular activities. While research on gastrointestinal tumors is advancing rapidly， a major bottleneck lies in their complex metabolic adaptations and therapeutic resistance. Targeting the interplay between mitophagy and energy metabolism has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for this disease. Current research on mitophagy and energy metabolism in gastrointestinal tumors， including the molecular mechanisms of their bidirectional regulatory network and applications in targeted therapies， remains to be systematically elucidated. Therefore， this review summarizes the implications of the mitophagy-energy metabolism interplay in gastrointestinal tumors， with the aim of providing insights for future research.
