Objective: To investigate the impact of RhE antigen-matched transfusion during liver transplantation on early postoperative recovery and complications. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, ninety-five patients undergoing liver transplantation at Kunming First People's Hospital between January 2022 and July 2025 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (RhE-mismatched transfusion, n=57) and Group 2 (RhE-matched transfusion, n=38). The baseline data, complete blood counts, hepatic and renal function, coagulation parameters, and complication rates between the two groups were compared at postoperative days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The baseline characteristics were well-balanced and comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05). The early postoperative mortality rate in the mismatched group (31.58%, 18/57) was significantly higher than that in the matched group (10.53%, 4/38) (P=0.017). The incidence of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy was significantly higher in the mismatched group (50.88%, 29/57) than in the matched group (10.53%, 4/38) (P<0.001). The incidence of postoperative haemorrhage in the mismatched group (24.56%, 14/57) was higher than that in the matched group (5.26%, 2/38), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.014). The incidence of perioperative infection in the mismatched group (28.07%, 16/57) was higher than that in the matched group (10.53%, 4/38), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.04). Corresponding odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals indicated a lower risk of these adverse events in the matched group. On postoperative day 1, the change in activated partial thromboplastin time (-1.6, 20.5) in the mismatched group was greater than in the matched group (-0.2, 5.5). The change in international normalised ratio (-0.56, 1.22) in the mismatched group was greater than in the matched group (-0.18, 0.32), while the change in albumin (-4.0, 4.8) was smaller in the mismatched group than in the matched group (-2.5, 8.8). On postoperative day 5, the change in albumin (-0.41±7.83) in the mismatched group was smaller than in the matched group (2.68±4.53). At postoperative day 7, the change in albumin in the mismatched group (-0.61±7.38) was smaller than that in the matched group (2.51±5.85), while the change in D-dimer in the mismatched group (0.73, 7.4) was greater than that in the matched group (-1.6, 4.3). On postoperative day 10, the mismatched group exhibited significantly higher fibrinogen levels (-1.21, 1.78) than the matched group (-0.49, 0.97), and significantly longer prothrombin times (-11.3, -2.7) than the matched group (-6.2, -0.8) (all P<0.05). The matched group exhibited a mean overall survival (OS) of 32.803 months (95% CI:29.171-36.436 months), significantly exceeding the mismatched group's 28.996 months (95% CI:24.202-33.790 months). The log-rank test yielded statistically significant results (χ
=4.307, P=0.038). Conclusion: Implementing RhE blood group-matched transfusion during liver transplantation may help reduce early postoperative mortality and the incidence of major complication rates, promote faster recovery of coagulation and liver function, and thereby improve short-term patient outcomes.

Pulmonary sarcoidosis is an immune system disease with an unclear etiology. Guided by the yang-reinforcing method, it is believed that the fundamental pathogenesis of pulmonary sarcoidosis lies in the disharmony between water and fire and the reckless movement of the ministerial fire. The failure of the spleen and stomach to maintain warmth, leading to the production of phlegm and blood stasis, is an important pathogenesis. The invasion of external pathogenic toxins, deeply penetrating into the interior, is considered a triggering factor for the disease. The treatment focuses on supplementing the yang, consolidating the kidney, drawing fire back to its source, warming the yang, benefiting the kidney, and nourishing the spleen to generate metal. It also emphasizes unblocking the yang, transforming turbidity, and eliminating phlegm and blood stasis.

Objective:
To establish a prediction model for high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents aged 35 to 75 years, so as to provide the basis for improving CVD prevention and control measures.
Methods:
Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected from Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality using the stratified random sampling method from 2018 to 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a prediction model for high-risk CVD was established. The predictive effect was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
A total of 6 968 individuals were surveyed, including 2 821 males (40.49%) and 4 147 females (59.51%), and had a mean age of (59.92±9.33) years. There were 1 155 high-risk CVD population, with a detection rate of 16.58%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, central obesity, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the established prediction model was 0.849 (95%CI: 0.834-0.863), with a sensitivity of 0.693 and a specificity of 0.863, indicating good discrimination.
Conclusion
The model constructed by eight factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and blood biochemical indicators has good predictive value for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) assisted bilateral decompression in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation with imaging herniation on one side and clinical symptoms on the contralateral side.Methods:A total of 20 patients with lumbar disc herniation with imaging herniation on one side and clinical symptoms on the contralateral side treated with UBE from January 2022 to January 2024 in the Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 9 males and 11 females, aged 50.4±14.0 years (range, 23-72 years). The intervertebral disc herniation level included L 3-4 in 1 case, L 4-5 in 15 cases, and L 5S 1 in 4 cases. There were 10 cases on the left side and 10 cases on the right side. The duration of symptoms was 24.1±33.7 months (range, 1-120 months). Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate postoperative pain relief and functional recovery. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by modified MacNab criteria at 6 months after operation. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation. The operation time was 90.3±24.6 min (range, 55-134 mins). The VAS scores of patients at 3 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation were 3.6±0.9, 2.2±0.7, 1.2±0.5 and 1.0±0.6, respectively, which were lower than those before operation (6.4±0.8), and the differences were statistically significant ( F=668.728, P<0.001). The ODI at 3 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation were 34.2%±4.7%, 28.7%±2.8%, 24.3%±2.1% and 20.5%±2.0%, respectively, which were lower than 69.4%±5.2% before operation, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=515.578, P<0.001). The clinical efficacy was evaluated by modified MacNab criteria at 6 months after operation. Among 20 patients, 18 cases were excellent, 1 case was good, and 1 case was fair. All patients were followed up for 9.1±2.1 months (range, 6-14 months). One patient had a dural tear during the operation, but the range was small and there was no defect, and no further treatment was performed. Numbness of the lower limbs occurred 1 day after operation, and the symptoms disappeared after symptomatic treatment. There was no recurrence of lower limb symptoms, lumbar instability, intervertebral space infection or other complications at the last follow-up. Conclusion:Bilateral decompression with UBE is effective in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation with imaging herniation on one side and clinical symptoms on the contralateral side, which can improve the lumbar pain and function of patients.

Objective:To explore the regulatory mechanism of voltage-dependent anion channel 1(VDAC1) on the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD) cells.Methods:This study employed a combination of bioinformatics and experimental validation methods, conducting bioinformatics analysis and cytological experimental validation in the central laboratory of the School of Medicine, Anhui University of Science and Technology from February 2023 to August 2024.Clinical histological specimen validation was performed using immunohistochemistry, and a retrospective analysis was conducted on 5 cases of lung adenocarcinoma and adjacent samples from Huai′an First People′s Hospital affiliated with Nanjing Medical University. The TCGA network database was analyzed for the expression pattern, prognostic value, and functional enrichment of VDAC1 in LUAD. A549 cells with VDAC1 knockdown and H1650 cells with VDAC1 overexpression were established through lentiviral transfection. The expression difference of VDAC1 protein in LUAD and adjacent tissue specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry.The effects of VDAC1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities were explored through CCK8 assay, scratch healing assay, and Transwell assay.The activation levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker proteins, cell cycle-dependent kinases, and molecules in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway were detected by Western blot.Results:Bioinformatics analysis revealed that VDAC1 was highly expressed in LUAD cells ( P<0.000 1) and was an independent risk factor for LUAD ( P<0.000 1). Functional enrichment analysis showed significant enrichment of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR, G2M checkpoint, and P53 signaling pathways ( P<0.001). Compared to adjacent control tissues, the expression level of VDAC1 protein is higher in lung adenocarcinoma tissues.Overexpression of VDAC1 promoted the proliferation ( P<0.000 1), migration, and invasion( P<0.01) of H1650 cells, while knockdown of VDAC1 inhibited the proliferation ( P<0.000 1), migration, and invasion ( P<0.05) of A549 cells.Western Blot experiments showed that compared to the control group, the expression levels of vimentin (1.10±0.11 vs 2.39±0.15, P<0.001), N-cadherin (0.94±0.12 vs 2.72±0.06, P<0.001), CDK1 (0.93±0.04 vs 1.53±0.03, P<0.000 1), CDK2 (1.04±0.13 vs 2.29±0.06, P<0.001), CDK4 (0.90±0.03 vs 2.00±0.11, P<0.01), p-PI3K (1.08±0.13 vs 1.85±0.12, P<0.01), and p-AKT (1.03±0.11 vs 1.69±0.06, P<0.001) were increased in H1650 cells overexpressing VDAC1, while E-cadherin expression decreased (2.18±0.14 vs 0.997±0.11, P<0.001).In contrast, in A549 cells with VDAC1 knockdown, the expression levels of vimentin (1.70±0.26 vs 0.97±0.09, P<0.05), N-cadherin (1.98±0.25 vs 1.03±0.06, P<0.05), CDK1 (1.13±0.03 vs 0.95±0.02, P<0.01), CDK2 (2.29±0.12 vs 0.92±0.10, P<0.001), CDK4 (1.71±0.096 vs 1.12±0.11, P<0.01), p-PI3K (1.67±0.09 vs 0.97±0.03, P<0.001), and p-AKT (1.53±0.04 vs 1.02±0.03, P<0.000 1) decreased, while E-cadherin expression increased (1.04±0.04 vs 1.85±0.26, P<0.05). Conclusions:VDAC1 may promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LUAD cells by activating EMT and cyclin-dependent kinases through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.
