Objective To analyze the clinical, imaging, pathological characteristics and prognosis of renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC), so as to provide preference for the differential diagnosis and clinical management of this disease.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and follow-up data of 14 patients diagnosed with renal MTSCC at the Eastern Theater Command General Hospital during June 2021 and Aug.2025.Relevant literature was reviewed.Results Of the 14 patients, 10 were female (71.4%) and 4 were male (28.6%), with a mean age of 56.9 years. Pathological staging included pT1a in 6 cases, pT1b in 7 cases, and pT2b in 1 case.The median tumor diameter was 4.5 (range 2.0-11.0) cm.Twelve cases (85.7%) were asymptomatic and detected incidentally.On ultrasonography, most tumors exhibited well-defined margins and regular morphology (9/10, 90%) and appeared as homogeneous hypoechoic masses (7/10, 70%).All lesions demonstrated hypovascular features on imaging studies.Ten patients (71.4%) underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, and 4(28.6%) received partial nephrectomy.Histologically, a distinctive architecture composed of tubular structures, spindle-shaped cells, and mucinous stroma was exhibited.Immunohistochemically, the positive rates of PAX-8, VIMENTIN and CK7 in tumor cells were 100% (13/13), 91.7% (11/12) and 84.6% (11/13), respectively.The Ki-67 proliferation index ranged from 2.0% to 40.0%.During a median follow-up of 25.0 (range4.9-0.0) months, no local recurrence or distant metastasis was observed.Conclusion Renal MTSCC is a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma, typically lacking specific clinical symptoms and characterized by hypovascular imaging features.The tumor generally follows an indolent course with a favorable prognosis.For localized tumors, partial nephrectomy should be the primary consideration.For cases with high-risk pathological features such as sarcomatoid changes, due attention should be paid to the potential invasiveness and follow-up should be closely conducted.

Lung transplantation is currently the only effective treatment for end-stage lung disease. However, the field of lung transplantation still faces numerous challenges, including donor shortage, primary graft dysfunction, rejection, infection and others. In 2025, scholars worldwide have made remarkable progress in clinical research on lung transplantation. This article systematically reviews the cutting-edge developments in clinical research on lung transplantation in 2025, focusing on the application of novel evaluation tools in donor lung screening, optimization of lung perfusion techniques, exploration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, as well as mechanistic research and intervention strategies for primary graft dysfunction, acute kidney injury and chronic lung allograft dysfunction. Meanwhile, hot topics such as the management of special populations, prevention and control of postoperative infections, and improvement of quality of life are summarized. This review aims to conclude the important annual research findings and provide references for the clinical practice and research development of lung transplantation in China.

ObjectiveTo compare the performance of different automatic evaluation methods for detecting pattern hallucinations generated by large language models （LLMs） in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome differentiation and to identify a strategy with higher overall discriminative performance against expert manual judgment. MethodsA standardized TCM syndrome-differentiation dataset containing 598 cases was constructed from case reports published in Chinese core journals indexed by Peking University Core Journals or Chinese Science Citation Database. Each of the 598 cases was submitted to five Chinese LLMs， with each model generating one syndrome-pattern output per case， yielding 2990 outputs in total. The 598 outputs generated by Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Thinking were independently annotated for syndrome-pattern hallucinations by two licensed TCM physicians with intermediate or higher professional titles. Disagreements were adjudicated by a third licensed TCM physician with a senior associate professional title and more than 10 years of clinical experience. The resulting consensus annotations served as the reference labels for training and validating the automated evaluation method. Based on these reference labels， three categories of automated evaluation methods were developed and compared following a progressive strategy from text-level semantic similarity， to syndrome-element structural consistency， and finally multi-feature fusion. Method A employed sentence-embedding models based on semantic similarity between pattern texts. Method B adopted a rule-based threshold method using weighted Jaccard coefficients of disease-location and disease-nature syndrome elements. Method C utilized a machine-learning classifier integrating syndrome-element matching scores， missing and redundant syndrome-element counts， and multiple semantic-similarity features. Five-fold cross-validation was used to evaluate the discriminative performance of each method against manual judgment. The optimal method was then applied to uniformly assess the pattern hallucination rates of five LLMs. ResultsIn method A， text2vec-large-chinese showed best overall performance， with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUROC）， area under the precision-recall curve （PR-AUC）， F1-score， sensitivity， and specificity of 0.849， 0.884， 0.794， 0.801， and 0.691， respectively. In method B， the corresponding metrics of the rule-based syndrome-element Jaccard threshold method were 0.848， 0.851， 0.817， 0.845， and 0.684， respectively； those of the LLM-based syndrome-element Jaccard method were 0.872， 0.906， 0.795， 0.764， and 0.780， respectively. In method C， the multilayer perceptron （MLP） classifier showed the best overall performance， with AUROC， PR-AUC， F1-score， sensitivity， and specificity of 0.933， 0.951， 0.871， 0.857， and 0.846， respectively. Under the unified evaluation framework combining DeepSeek-R1 syndrome-element extraction and MLP classifier， the estimated pattern hallucination rates of the five LLMs ranged from 56.0% to 77.4%. ConclusionAmong the three automatic evaluation methods， Method C integrating syndrome-element discrepancy features and text semantic features using an MLP classifier showed the highest overall discriminative performance against manual judgment， and is more suitable for evaluating syndrome hallucinations in LLM-based TCM syndrome differentiation tasks.

This paper introduces professor WU Rongzu's clinical experience in using Fuyang Tongmi Decoction （扶阳通秘汤， FTD） to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation （IBS-C）.

This approach aims to transport the qi movement of the middle jiao （焦） and support the recovery of intestinal function of directing turbidity downward， providing a treatment strategy for IBS-C caused by yang deficiency.

Objective:To establish 30-day of age transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) reference curves for healthy neonates, and to investigate regional variations in bilirubin dynamics.Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 220 950 healthy neonates born at a gestational age of 35-<42 weeks, with a birth weight ≥2 000 g, who did not receive phototherapy within 60 h after birth were recruited. All of them underwent remote TcB monitoring using the Bilibaby remote jaundice monitoring system between August 1 st, 2020 and December 31 st, 2024 in 426 hospitals. TcB data were collected within the period from birth to 30-day of age. The P40, P75, and P95 of TcB values were calculated, and dynamic TcB curves for 30-day of age were constructed. Patterns of bilirubin change, rates of change, and transition outcomes were described. Regional comparisons between South and North were conducted using linear mixed-effects models for TcB trajectories and Pearson′s chi-square test for outcome differences. Results:A total of 220 950 neonates were included, of whom 101 711 (46.03%) were female. Gestational age at birth was (38.75±1.12) weeks, and birth weight was (3 272±417) g. TcB levels increased rapidly within 3-day of age, peaked at 4-6-day of age, with peak values at P40, P75, and P95 of 200.6, 239.7 and 275.4 μmol/L (11.8, 14.1 and 16.2 mg/dl), respectively. TcB levels gradually declined thereafter and stabilized after 13-day of age, with values at P40, P75, and P95 fluctuating between 147.9-159.8, 190.4-200.6, and 231.2-239.7 μmol/L (8.7-9.4, 11.2-11.8, 13.6-14.1 mg/dl), respectively. Notably, among neonates categorized as low-or low-intermediate-risk within 3-day of age, 6 700 (12.76%) progressed to intermediate-high or high risk between 4 and 30 days of age. Before 13-day of age, TcB levels in the southern regions were consistently higher than those in the northern regions ( P=0.039); from 14 to 30 days of age, the overall TcB levels had no statistically difference, but the temporal changes in TcB still showed regional differences (degrees of freedom=3, all interaction P<0.05). Among neonates classified as low-or low-intermediate risk within 3-day of age, 25 326 were from southern regions, of whom 4 254 (16.80%) progressed to intermediate-high or high risk between 4 and 30 days of age. In northern regions, 27 193 neonates were classified as low-or low-intermediate risk within 3-day of age, among whom 2 446 (8.99%) progressed to intermediate-high or high risk. The risk progression between the 2 regions had statistically difference ( χ2=716.49, P<0.001). Conclusions:A TcB percentile curve for neonates within 30-day of age was established, revealing that both the overall TcB level and its temporal trend were higher in southern than in northern newborns. These findings provide baseline data to support continuous management of neonatal jaundice.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of high-frequency irreversible electroporation (H-FIRE) in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:This randomized controlled open-label multicenter clinical trial enrolled patients from nine medical centers in China between August 2020 and July 2022. Inclusion criteria: age 50–80 years, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥12, maximum urinary flow rate (Q max) >5 ml/min and ≤15 ml/min. Exclusion criteria: prostate malignancy, contraindications to surgery or anesthesia. Patients were randomized 1∶1 into the H-FIRE group (experimental) or the control group (daily oral 0.2 mg tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules). Primary outcomes included Q max, IPSS, prostate volume, and International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) scores, measured at baseline, 1 and 3 months post-treatment. Results:A total of 160 cases were included in this study, including 80 cases in the experimental group and 80 cases in the control group, 30 cases in Renji Hospital, 7 cases in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, 8 cases in Tongji Hospital, 3 cases in Hunan Provincial Hospital, 13 cases in Shanghai Pudong Hospital, 29 cases in Hwa Mei Hospital, 18 cases in Yiyuan County People's Hospital, and 38 cases in Shanghai East Hospital, and 14 cases in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. At 3 months of post-treatment, Q max in the experimental group increased by a median of 7.50 (3.55, 14.50) ml/s from the baseline value, whereas in the control group it increased by a median of 1.70 (-1.40, 6.00) ml/s, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P < 0.01, U = 1 083); and at 3 months of post-treatment, IPSS in the experimental group decreased by a median of 12.00 (7.00, 17.00) points in the test group and 6.00 (2.00, 11.00) points in the control group, and the magnitude of improvement in IPSS scores in the test group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P < 0.01, U = 1 248); at 3 months of post-treatment, the prostate volume decreased by a median of 12.16 (5.69, 18.27) ml in the experimental group and 0 (-3.94, 6.89) ml in the control group, suggesting that H-FIRE significantly reduced prostate gland volume ( P<0.01, U=1 111). The difference in elevated IIEF-5 scores from baseline at 3 months of treatment between the experimental and control groups was not statistically significant[0(-2.00, 1.00) points vs. 0(-2.00, 1.50) points; P=0.54, U=2 338]. There were no serious adverse events in the two groups. Conclusions:H-FIRE could significantly improve both subjective and objective symptoms of BPH with a low risk of severe complications.

There are no reports on the application of perirenal fat covering technique in lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty（LMGU），and its safety and effectiveness need to be observed. This study retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 7 patients who underwent lingual mucosa ureteroplasty with intraoperative perirenal fat covering technique. The median stricture length was 5.5（range 4.0 to 6.0）cm，operative duration was 170（range 120 to 230）min，estimated blood loss was 92（range 15 to 110）ml. No conversions to open surgery occurred. During a median follow-up of 46（range 8 to 86）months，all procedures achieved clinical success. The application of perirenal fat covering technique in LMGU is safe and effective.

Objective:To compare the clinical application of the anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) and the calf pedicled propeller perforator flap (PPPF) in reconstruction of soft tissue defect of foot and ankle.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From March 2013 to June 2019, 48 patients with soft tissue defect around ankle and in foot were reconstructed with ALTPF and PPPF in the Department of Orthopaedics, 920th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force, People's Liberation Army of China. According to the types of flap, the patients were divided into 2 groups: ALTPF group (21 patients,13 males and 8 females, aged 16-67 years, mean 38.71 years±15.30 years. Donor sites were all directly sutured.) and PPPF group (27 patients, 12 males and 15 females, aged 12-69 years, mean 35.18 years±13.96 years. Five cases in the donor site required partial skin grafting, and the rest 22 cases were repaired by directly suture.). The wound size of the former was 5 cm×6 cm-15 cm×18 cm, and at 2 cm×3 cm-14 cm×17 cm for the latter. The surgical time and flap size of the 2 groups were recorded during the surgery. The survival and complications of the flap were observed, and the days of hospital stay were recorded after surgery. Follow-ups were conducted by outpatient clinic and via telephone and WeChat interviews. The colour, texture, appearance, donor scar, complications and thinning of the flap were observed during the follow-up. The ankle function was evaluated according to the score of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), and the donor scar was evaluated according to the score of Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for data analysis, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:The surgical time for the ALTPF group was 118-203 (154.71±25.42) min, and that for the PPPF group was 52-92 (72.78±10.04) min. The size of the flap in the ALTPF group was 5 cm×8 cm-8 cm×18 cm (75.00 cm 2±8.69 cm 2), while it was 3 cm×7 cm-7 cm×17 cm (53.56 cm 2±19.49 cm 2) in the PPPF group. In the ALTPF group, 3 flaps had vascular complications within 24 hours after surgery, which survived after exploration and thrombectomy. Partial necrosis occurred in 1 flap. The rest 17 flaps survived uneventfully. In the PPPF group, 2 flaps had partial necrosis due to infection and they healed after dressing changes, 3 flaps had venous occlusion and survived after phlebotomy, partial suture removal and massage. The rest 22 flaps in 2 groups survived uneventfully. The postoperative days of hospital stay for the ALTPF group was 6-14 (8.71±2.03) days, and that was 4-12 (6.03±2.16) days in the PPPF group. Flap thinning was performed on 19 flaps in the ALTPF group and 2 in the PPPF group. Follow-up was performed for 7 to 21 months. All the flaps were good in colour, shape and texture. All donor sites healed well. At the final follow-up, 19 patients achieved ankle function of excellent, 1 of good and 1 of fair in the ALTPF group, and 21 patients achieved ankle function of excellent, 4 of good and 2 of fair in the PPPF group, according to the AOFAS. According to the VSS, scores of donor site scar was rated 4-8 (6.33±1.35) points for the ALTPF group, and 3-10 (5.92±1.80) points for the PPPF group. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of early postoperative complications, flap survival rate, ankle function, and VSS scores ( P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of surgical time, hospital stay, flap size, and the number of flap thinning ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Both ALTPF and PPPF have good clinical effects in reconstruction of soft tissue defect of foot and ankle. For small to medium-sized wounds, PPPF is the preferred choice due to the advantages in surgical time and postoperative hospital stay. For larger wounds, the ALTPF is the first choice with multiple surgery.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective:To present an evaluation indicator system for access to cancer screening services.Methods:The evaluation indicator pool was constructed through a scoping review. The theoretical framework was constructed based on the multi-source indicators, and the qualitative expert consultation method was employed to form the initial version of the three-level evaluation indicator system. Delphi expert consultation method was conducted in two rounds to evaluate the relevance, importance, and availability of the proposed evaluation indicator system. The expert positive coefficient, authority coefficient, coordination degree of expert opinions, and concentration of expert opinions were subjected to analysis. Subsequently, the three-level evaluation indicator system for access to cancer screening services was adjusted and determined based on the boundary value method and the open opinions of experts. Finally, the combination weight method was employed to determine the weight.Results:The initial version of the indicator system comprised 3 primary (first-level) indicators, 11 secondary (second-level) indicators, and 46 tertiary (third-level) indicators. Delphi expert consultation was conducted for the initial version, and 17 experts ultimately completed it, exhibiting a positive coefficient of 100% and an authority coefficient of 0.87. In comparison to the initial round of consultation, Kendall's W coefficient ranges (0.15-0.43, all P<0.05) of relevance, importance, and availability scores for each tertiary indicator in the second round exhibited an improvement. The analysis of the importance dimension indicates that expert opinions are also more concentrated, as evidenced by an increase of 8.5% and 7.0% in the proportion of the tertiary indicators with an arithmetic mean above 8 and a full mark ratio above 0.5, respectively. The final evaluation indicator system comprises three primary indicators, with the weights of structure evaluation, process evaluation, and outcome evaluation being 0.338, 0.378, and 0.285, respectively. It also comprises 11 secondary indicators and 45 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The evaluation indicator system developed in this article can be an effective evaluation tool for quantitative comparison of access to cancer screening services across different populations, cancer types, and before and after intervention. Furthermore, it is recommended that the system undergo continuous optimization concerning its application.
