The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement aims to enhance the quality of reporting for randomized controlled trial (RCT) by providing a minimum item checklist. It was first published in 1996, and updated in 2001 and 2010, respectively. The latest version was released in April 2025, continuously reflecting new evidence, methodological advancements, and user feedback. CONSORT 2025 includes 30 essential checklist items and a template for a participant flow diagram. The main changes to the checklist include the addition of 7 items, revision of 3 items, and deletion of 1 item, as well as the integration of multiple key extensions. This article provides a comprehensive interpretation of the statement, aiming to help clinical trial staff, journal editors, and reviewers fully understand the essence of CONSORT 2025, correctly apply it in writing RCT reports and evaluating RCT quality, and provide guidance for conducting high-level RCT research in China.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule (DZJTC) for repairing renal vascular endothelial injury in rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS: Fifty male SD rat models of DN, established by left nephrectomy, high-sugar and high-fat diet and streptozotocin injection, were randomized into DN model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose DZJTC treatment groups, and DAPT (a γ-secretase inhibitor) treatment group, with 10 rats with normal feeding as the control group. DZJTC was administered by daily gavage at 0.315, 0.63, or 1.26 g/kg, and DAPT (20 mg/kg, dissolved in 50% CMC-Na solution) was given by gavage every other day for 4 weeks; normal saline was given in the control and model groups. After treatment, the levels of creatinine (CRE), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and microalbuminuria (mALB) were detected with ELISA, and renal pathologies were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Renal expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were measured by immunohistochemistry, and the protein expressions of CD31 and Notch signaling pathway components were detected using Western blotting. RESULTS: The rat models of DN showed significantly increased CRE, BUN, and mALB levels, obvious renal pathologies under electron microscopy, increased renal VEGF, ET-1 and CD31 expressions, and upregulated Notch1, NICD, and MAML1 protein levels. Treatment with DZJTC at the 3 doses and DAPT significantly reduced CRE, BUN, and mALB levels, improved renal pathology, decreased VEGF, ET-1 and CD31 expressions, and lowered Notch1, NICD and MAML1 levels, and the effects were the most pronounced with high-dose DZJTC. CONCLUSIONS DZJTC ameliorates hyperproliferation and dysfunction of renal vascular endothelium in DN rats possibly by regulating renal VEGF and ET-1 levels via inhibiting NICD- and MAML1-mediated Notch signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of glofitamab in the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed. The clinical data of 11 patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL who were treated with glofitamab in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2024 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received glofitamab monotherapy. Dose escalation was required in the first course, and glofitamab at a dose of 30 mg was administered from the second to the 12th course. The general data, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score, previous treatment history, therapeutic effect after medication and adverse reactions were collected.Results:Among 11 patients, there were 8 males and 3 females, with the median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 60 (51, 76) years; 1 case was primary central nervous system DLBCL. The median number of prior treatment lines was 3 (2, 3) lines, and 6 cases received ≥3 lines of therapy; 1 case was double DLBCL and 3 cases was complicated with p53 mutations. The median follow-up time was 5 months (2-7 months). After treatment of the median number of glofitamab, 3 cases achieved complete remission, among which 1 case successfully bridged to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; 1 case had the stable disease and 7 cases achieved partial remission. Grade 1-2 adverse events included mild leukopenia in 3 patients, mild anemia in 4 patients, thrombocytopenia in 1 patient, and lymphopenia in 8 patients. Grade 3 hematologic adverse events included thrombocytopenia in 1 patient and severe lymphopenia in 1 patient. Non-hematological toxicities included mild rash in 1 patient, grade 1 liver dysfunction in 3 patients and inflammatory factor storm in 4 patients. No medication stop or deferral was found in patients due to severe adverse events. Conclusions:Glofitamab demonstrates a high response rate in the treatment of relapsed/refractory DLBCL, with manageable adverse events and a favorable safety.

Kidney disease constitutes a significant global public health issue,with its associated healthcare burden escalating annually.Lipid metabolism disorders play a crucial role in the onset and progression of various kidney diseases.Given the diversity of lipid species and the complexity of metabolic pathways,traditional research methods often fall short in fully elucidating the intricate roles of lipids in kidney diseases.In this context,lipido-mics,the systematic analysis of lipid molecules and their metabolic alterations in biological samples,emerges as a powerful tool with unique research value and clinical potential.This review summarizes the latest findings in lipido-mics across various kidney diseases and discusses the challenges encountered in clinical application and future research directions.

Objective:To investigate the inpact of thyroid cancer-derived cancer-associated fibroblasts(CAF) autophagy on papillary thyroid cancer(PTC).Methods:CAF and normal fibroblasts were isolated from cancerous and adjacent normal thyroid tissues from four PTC patients. Expressions of fibroblast activation protein(FAP) and α-smooth muscle actin in cells were assessed. Conditioned medium of CAF and normal fibroblasts were prepared and used to culture PTC cells. The effects of CAF and normal fibroblasts on survival, proliferation, migration, invasion and iodine uptake of PTC cells were evaluated through cell proliferation assay, cell scratch assay, cell invasion assay, and cell iodine uptake assay. The autophagy level of CAF was also evaluated. Autophagy inhibition and activation were used to regulate the autophagy of CAF, and then their effects on PTC cell proliferation, migration and invasion were further evaluated. The in vivo effect of CAF autophagy on PTC xenograft tumor growth was evaluated.Results:CAF exhibited higher FAP expression and basal autophagy levels. PTC cells co-cultured with CAF-conditioned media showed enhanced proliferation, migration, invasion, and reduced iodine uptake. Autophagy inhibition reduced these effects, while autophagy activation further promoted them. In vivo, inhibiting CAF autophagy suppressed tumor growth.Conclusions:CAF promotes PTC cell malignancy through autophagy activation, enhancing proliferation, migration, and invasion while reducing iodine uptake.

A 15-year-old boy developed abdominal pain and melena two weeks after COVID-19 infection, which was followed by gross hematuria and proteinuria. Laboratory studies revealed significantly elevated inflammatory markers. Endoscopic examinations showed multiple jejunal and ileal ulcers. Renal biopsy suggested mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescent formation, necrosis of capillary loops, and mesangial IgA deposits. IgA vasculitis without purpura was considered as a possible diagnosis, and the treatment with prednisone led to remission of both gastrointestinal and renal diseases.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and independent risk factors of severe disease in patients with anti-nuclear matrix protein (NXP) 2 antibody-positive juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 219 anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM patients admitted to 23 children′s hospitals across China from July 2011 to July 2023. Patients were classified into severe and non-severe groups based on classification criteria for severe dermatomyositis. Demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, and laboratory parameters were compared between the 2 groups using independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for severe disease. The receiver operating characteristic curve was employed to calculate optimal cut-off values. Results:Among the 219 patients, 108 were male and 111 were female, with an age at onset of 6.3 (3.5, 9.4) years. The severe group comprised 69 patients, and the non-severe group 150 patients. The severe group had significantly higher rates of fever, heliotrope rash, subcutaneous edema, periorbital edema, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity, as well as elevated levels of ferritin-to-albumin ratio (FAR), creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified anti-Ro52 antibody positivity ( OR=13.26, 95% CI 1.37-128.29) and elevated FAR ( OR=1.90, 95% CI 1.09-2.31) as independent risk factors for severe anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM (both P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that a FAR cutoff value of 6.82 predicted severe disease with an area under the curve of 0.87 (95% CI 0.81-0.94, P<0.001), sensitivity of 0.85, and specificity of 0.70. All patients received glucocorticoid therapy, and the severe group received higher proportions of steroid pulse therapy, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, intravenous immunoglobulin, biologics, and adjuvant treatments compared to the non-severe group (all P<0.05). In terms of outcomes, 2 patients (2.9%) in the severe group died (due to neurological involvement and intestinal perforation, respectively), while the remaining patients achieved complete clinical response or remission. All patients in the non-severe group achieved remission. Conclusions:The primary clinical features of anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM included fever, heliotrope rash, subcutaneous edema, periorbital edema, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity, and elevated levels of CK, AST, LDH, and FAR. Furthermore, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity and a FAR>6.82 were identified as independent risk factors.
