Objective To systematically analyze the literature characteristics of Journal of Organ Transplantation since its inception. Methods Using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) academic journal full-text database as the data source, all articles published in the Journal of Organ Transplantation from January 2010 to August 2025 were retrieved. After excluding non-academic papers, a total of 1 568 research papers were included. R language 4.3.0, Bibliometrix package 3.2.1, and Citespace software were used to analyze the number of publications, publishing institutions, authors, keywords and other aspects. Results The number of publications in Journal of Organ Transplantation increased from an average of 82 articles per year in the early years after its inception to 113 articles per year in recent years, a growth of 37.8%. The geographical distribution of publishing institutions covers 32 provinces, cities and autonomous regions nationwide, mainly concentrated in the South China, East China and North China regions, and has now basically covered the central and western regions in recent years. The author collaboration network includes 45 authors distributed across 7 major collaboration clusters, forming a stable multi-level national research system centered on key university-affiliated hospitals. The high-frequency keywords are dominated by "liver transplantation" (425 times) and "kidney transplantation" (396 times). The theme evolution shows a clear three-stage characteristic: initially focusing on clinical technology application, deepening to immune mechanism exploration in the middle stage, and recently (since 2022) focusing on cutting-edge research areas such as xenotransplantation. Conclusions Journal of Organ Transplantation has witnessed the rapid development of China's organ transplantation cause, fully reflecting the research status and trends in China's organ transplantation field, and has provided an important platform for the future development and international cooperation in China's organ transplantation field.

Objective:To investigate investigate repairing effect of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell(ADSC)on fistula wounds in a rat model of fistula Crohn's disease(CD)and its regulation mechanism on miR-146a/interleukin-1 receptor-associ-ated kinase(IRAK)signaling axis.Methods:RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-146a and mRNA expression of IRAK in the serum of 80 fistula-type CD patients treated with fistula after operation.Dual-luciferase gene reporter was used to analysis the re-lationship between miR-146a and IRAK.The rat CD successfully prepared fistula lesions and divided into control group(Con),ADSC intervention group(ADSC),ADSC+miR-146a-antagomir intervention group(ADSC+antagomir),ADSC+miR-146a-antagomir+siR-NA-IRAK intervention group(ADSC+antagomir+si),with 10 rats in each group.One hour after successful modeling,rats in ADSC group were injected with 2×106 cells/ml ADSC suspension into the area around the fistula,and subcutaneously injected 2 μg/kg of miR-146a-antagomir-NC.Rats in the ADSC+antagomir group were injected with 2×106 cells/ml ADSC suspension into the area around the fistula,and subcutaneously injected with 2 μg/kg of miR-146a-antagomir.Rats in the ADSC+antagomir+si group were injected with 2×106 cells/ml ADSC suspension into the area around the fistula,and subcutaneously injected with 2 μg/kg of miR-146a-an-tagomir+siRNA-IRAK.Rats in the Con group,were injected a dose of normal saline into the area around the fistula,and subcutaneous-ly injected 2 μg/kg of miR-146a-antagomir-NC.Each group was treated twice a day for 14 consecutive days.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of fistula wound tissue in rats;kits were used to detect the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in rats serum.Immuno-histochemistry was used to detect angiogenesis in the fistula wound tissue of the rats in each group.Western blot was used to detect the expressions of IRAK,apoptosis protein B-lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-related x protein(Bax),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in fistula wound tissue.Results:The expression of miR-146a in the postoperative serum of patients with CD fistulae was sig-nificantly decreased,the mRNA expression of IRAK was significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).miR-146a regulated the expression of IRAK.Compared with the Con group,the apoptosis rate,the contents of TNF-α and IL-6,the expressions of IRAK and Bax in the rat fistula wound of ADSC group,ADSC+antagomir group,ADSC+antagomir+si group were significantly decreased,the number of new blood vessels and the expression of Bcl-2 and VEGF in the fistula tissue were significantly increased.Compared with ADSC group,the apoptosis rate,the contents of TNF-α and IL-6,the expressions of IRAK and Bax in the rat fistula wound of ADSC+antagomir group,ADSC+antagomir+si group were significantly increased,the number of new blood vessels and the expressions of Bcl-2 and VEGF in the fistula tissue were significantly decreased.Compared with ADSC+an-tagomir group,the contents of TNF-α and IL-6,the expressions of IRAK and Bax in the rat fistula wound of ADSC+antagomir+si group were significantly decreased,the number of new blood vessels and the expressions of Bcl-2 and VEGF in the fistula tissue were significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion:ADSCs can significantly heal fistu-las after fistula lesions in CD model rats,which may be related to regulating the expression of miR-146a/IRAK,inhibiting cell apopto-sis,and promoting wound angiogenesis.

Objective This study aims to observe the impact of warm moxibustion on menstrual pain in college students with primary dysmenorrhea and explore its potential mechanism.Methods College students with primary dysmenorrhea were recruited and treated with warm moxibustion at Shenque acupoint for three consecutive menstrual cycles.Healthy subjects were also recruited for comparison.Pain scale,uterine artery hemodynamics,and related inflammatory factors were assessed before and after treatment.Results ①The results of scale study showed that the severity and duration of dysmenorrhea were gradually alleviated with the prolongation of treatment time through the analysis of variance of repeated measurements of the total scores of McGill pain inquiry scale and CMSS dysmenorrhea symptom scale before and after 3 treatments.The results of variance analysis and pairwise comparison of repeated measurements of PRI,VAS and PPI of McGill pain inquiry scale before and after 3 times treatment in warm moxibustion group also showed that each index decreased gradually with the prolongation of treatment time.The comparison of the scores of each item of CMSS scale showed that the severity and duration of low back before treatment were significantly different from those in the healthy group(P<0.001),but the difference was weakened after the third treatment.The severity of vomiting,the duration of vomiting,the severity of diarrhea and the duration of diarrhea were significantly different from those in the healthy group before treatment(P<0.001),but they were still higher than those in the healthy group after the third treatment.but the difference was not statistically significant.②Prior to treatment,PD college students exhibited significantly higher S/D and PI values on both sides compared to healthy subjects,with a statistically significant difference observed for PI on the left side(P<0.001).Following treatment,all aforementioned indexes decreased significantly,particularly PI on the left side which showed a significant difference from pre-treatment levels(P<0.001).③Before treatment,the levels of serum IL-1β,TNF-α,and CRP in PD college students were significantly higher compared to those in the healthy group.The difference in IL-1β level was statistically significant(P<0.001).After treatment,there was a noticeable decrease in the levels of IL-1β,TNF-α,and CRP.Specifically,IL-1β showed a significant reduction(P<0.01),and this time the comparison with the healthy group did not reveal any significant difference in IL-1β levels.Conclusion The application of warm moxibustion at the Shenque acupoint demonstrates a significant improvement in both the dysmenorrhea pain rating index and severity among college students with primary dysmenorrhea,while also alleviating the severity and duration of associated symptoms.These positive effects may be attributed to warm moxibustion's ability to enhance uterine microcirculation in individuals with primary dysmenorrhea,and ameliorating inflammatory conditions.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of eculizumab in children with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.Methods:It was a single-center observational study. The clinical data of children diagnosed with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and treated with eculizumab in Wuhan Children's Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2023 to May 2024 were retrospectively collected. Eculizumab was used at the conventional dose based on the children 's weight. Event-free survival (no death or end-stage renal disease) rate, complete remission rate and recurrence rate of thrombotic microangiopathy in children with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome after eculizumab treatment were analyzed. The complete remission time of estimated glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin, platelet, lactic dehydrogenase, urine routine and the adverse reactions during the treatment were observed. Whole exome sequencing was used to conduct genetic testing based on blood samples of the children and their parents.Results:There were 4 children enrolled in the study. Four children were all Han Chinese, including 3 males and 1 female. The median age of onset was 8 years (ranging from 7 to 10 years). Two patients had complement gene abnormalities, both of which were homozygous deletions of complement factor H-related 1 and complement factor H-related 3. All the patients were free of plasma exchange or perfusion after treatment with eculizumab, and the 6-month event-free survival rate and thrombotic microangiopathy complete remission rate were both 4/4. The complete remission time was 19 (14-28) days. The time for the complete recovery of platelets, lactate dehydrogenase, estimated glomerular filtration rate and hemoglobin in 4 children was 4 (1-5), 19 (14-28), 10 (5-14) and 29 (20-42) days, respectively. Except for 1 patient whose urine routine fluctuated between negative and weakly positive expression, the other 3 patients had normal urine routine. All the patients discontinued eculizumab. Two patients without gene mutations discontinued eculizumab after 7 doses, and there was no recurrence during the 1-year follow-up after drug withdrawal. Two patients with genetic abnormalities discontinued eculizumab after 26 weeks of treatment, and no recurrence was found during the 3-month follow-up after drug withdrawal. One patient developed rash approximately 7 days after receiving the third dose of eculizumab. The rash was relieved after anti-allergic treatment, and there was no recurrence after the continued use of eculizumab.Conclusion:Eculizumab is effective and safe in the treatment of children with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Discontinuation of eculizumab can be considered in patients without gene mutations when their condition is stable, but close monitoring and follow-up are needed after drug withdrawal.

Chronic heart failure(CHF)is a common end-stage manifestation of cardiovascular disease,and the"spleen-small intestine-heart"axis is its important mechanism.Current studies have shown that the"spleen"in TCM and mitochondria function are similar,and the physiological dysfunction of the"small intestine"is also closely related to intestinal bacterial dysbiosis,and the pathology of the spleen and the small intestine will be transmitted to the heart to accelerate the occurrence and development of CHF.Based on the relevant theory of spleen-small intestine-heart,this article described the correlation between abnormal mitochondrial energy metabolism and imbalance of intestinal flora and CHF from the aspects of the spleen,small intestine and heart,and believed that the essence of CHF is a pathological condition formed by mitochondrial energy metabolism crisis and intestinal microecological disorders,which could provide theoretical references for the TCM prevention and treatment of CHF.

Objective To establish an acute rejection model of cervical heart transplantation in mice and evaluate the survival and dynamic rejection process post-transplantation. Methods Mice were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=10), syngeneic transplantation group (n=21), and allogeneic transplantation group (n=65). Sham operation, syngeneic cervical heart transplantation, and allogeneic cervical heart transplantation were performed respectively. The survival of recipient mice and grafts, histopathological changes of graft tissues, subpopulations of splenic lymphocytes, and expression of inflammatory factors in serum and grafts were observed. Results The survival rate and graft survival rate of the sham operation group and syngeneic transplantation group were 100% at 7 days after surgery. In the allogeneic transplantation group, 5 cases failed and died on the first day after surgery. The survival rate at 7 days after surgery was 86%, and all surviving mice had grafts that stopped beating at 7 days after surgery. The allogeneic transplantation group showed significant rejection at 7 days after surgery, accompanied by tissue damage and CD8⁺ T cell infiltration. The proportion of CD8⁺ T cells in the spleen continued to rise post-operation, while the proportion of CD4⁺ T cells showed a downward trend. The expression of interferon-γ in serum and grafts peaked at 5 days after surgery, while the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α showed no statistical significance. Conclusions Acute rejection following heart transplantation in mice intensifies between 5 to 7 days after surgery, which may be a critical time window for immunological intervention.

Objective To investigate the relationship between primary pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma (PPMA) mass type and pneumonia type and their difference in malignant degree, and to analyze the role of clinical manifestations and CT features in the diagnosis of this disease. Methods The clinical data of PPMA patients admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from May 2011 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to CT features, they were divided into a mass type group and a pneumonia type group. The clinical manifestations, CT features and the degree of malignancy between the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results A total of 57 PPMA patients were enrolled. There were 17 males and 40 females, with an average age of (53.82±10.65) years, and 28 (49%) patients had reversed hato-like sign. There were 42 patients in the mass type group and 15 patients in the pneumonia type group. PPMA often occurs in both lower lungs, with clinical manifestations mainly of coughing and expectorating white mucoid sputum. There were statistical differences between the two groups in the maximum diameter of tumor (P<0.001), boundary condition (P<0.001) and pleural indentation sign (P=0.019). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in Ki-67 index (P>0.05). Conclusion There is no statistical difference in the degree of malignancy between the two types of PPMA. Considering their clinical manifestations and differences in imaging features, it is supported that the pneumonia type is just a progression of the mass type. CT can present various manifestations, among which the reversed hato-like sign is expected to become an important imaging feature. Combined with a high proportion of solid components, pleural indentation sign, and vacuole sign, reversed hato-like sign can play a significant role in the diagnosis of PPMA.

Objective: To investigate the value of decreased carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA19-9) kinetics in predicting short-term outcomes and determining prognosis among advanced biliary or pancreatic cancer patients receiving first-or second-line therapy in the real world. Methods : Eighty-nine patients were retrospectively collected with advanced biliary or pancreatic cancer, especially on the CA19-9 dynamics and decline rates at different time points. This study evaluated the association of CA19-9 changes with clinicopathological features, short-term response to antitumor therapy, and survival outcomes. Results : The enrolled patients recorded baseline CA19-9 levels ranging from 1.20 to 65 706.40 U/ml, with a median of 303.11 U/ml. There was no statistical correlation between baseline CA19-9 levels and gender, age, body mass index, primary tumor site, hepatic metastases, pulmonary metastases, lymph node metastases, peritoneal metastases, performance status, treatment lines, and combinations of drug types. Baseline CA19-9 levels were not associated with systemic immunoinflammatory index, prognostic nutritional index, and total bilirubin. A 25% or 50% decrease in CA19-9 after 2-3 therapy courses indicated short-term efficacy in reaching tumor objective remission or disease control. Both combinations of multiple drug types and a 25% decline in CA19-9 after one course of treatment were independent prognostic factors that affected the longer progression-free survival of patients receiving first or second line of treatment. Conclusion Decreased CA19-9 kinetics has specific values in predicting the efficacy and prognosis of advanced biliary or pancreatic cancer.
