Cirrhotic portal hypertension is a clinical syndrome caused by persistently elevated portal venous pressure due to liver cirrhosis and can lead to a series of complications， among which esophagogastric variceal bleeding has become one of the most severe complications due to sudden onset and a high mortality rate. Since the release of Expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of esophagogastric variceal bleeding in cirrhotic portal hypertension （2019 edition）， significant advances have been achieved in this field in China and globally. In order to formulate an expert consensus aligned with the situation of China， Chinese Society of Surgery， Chinese Medical Association organized and compiled Expert Consensus on diagnosis and treatment of esophagogastric variceal bleeding in cirrhotic portal hypertension （2025 edition）. This article elaborates on the key updates in the new edition and explores the major differences between the old and new editions， in order to enhance the understanding of the new edition among clinicians and provide a reference for clinicians in clinical work.

Objective To explore the time-varying pattern of potential symptoms in breast cancer patient before and after chemotherapy,and further analyze its influencing factors,aims to provide reference for clinical nursing practice.Methods 233 cases of breast cancer in a tertiary A hospital in Ningxia from June to October,2023 were selected as the research subjects.By the general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of Anderson Symptom Assessment Scale,the potential change of symptoms of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy 1-3 days before the first chemotherapy(T1,233 cases)and 7-14 days after the third or fourth chemotherapy(T2,225 cases)was analyzed.Results 225 cases of breast cancer patients completed 2 surveys,and their symptom characteristics before and after chemotherapy can be divided into 2 categories:a high symptom troubled group and a low symptom troubled group.The high-symptom troubled group has strong stability,and the probability of maintaining the original group is 85.20％,while the low-symptom troubled group is more inclined to change to the high-symptom troubled group,and the transition probability is 26.60％.Logistic regression analysis showed that the mass was located on the left side,and the patients who obtained disease knowledge mainly through the Internet were more likely to change from the high symptom troubled group to the low symptom troubled group,while the patients who were employed,with unsatisfactory sleep at night,and never exercised were more likely to change from the low symptom troubled group to the high symptom troubled group.Conclusion The symptoms of breast cancer patients before and after chemotherapy are heterogeneous.Patients who are on the job,have unsatisfied sleep at night and never exercise are more likely to change from the low-symptom troubled group to the high-symptom troubled group,which suggests that medical staff should identify potential high-risk groups at an early stage,and make full use of the predictive function of symptom characteristics to carry out individualized management based on the dynamic monitoring of symptoms according to different types of population characteristics,so as to reduce the burden of symptoms and improve their quality of life.

This study aimed to comprehensively examine the association of gallstones, cholecystectomy, and cancer risk. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to estimate the observational associations of gallstones and cholecystectomy with cancer risk, using data from a nationwide cohort involving 239 799 participants. General and gender-specific two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was further conducted to assess the causalities of the observed associations. Observationally, a history of gallstones without cholecystectomy was associated with a high risk of stomach cancer (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=2.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50-4.28), liver and bile duct cancer (aOR=2.46, 95% CI 1.17-5.16), kidney cancer (aOR=2.04, 95% CI 1.05-3.94), and bladder cancer (aOR=2.23, 95% CI 1.01-5.13) in the general population, as well as cervical cancer (aOR=1.69, 95% CI 1.12-2.56) in women. Moreover, cholecystectomy was associated with high odds of stomach cancer (aOR=2.41, 95% CI 1.29-4.49), colorectal cancer (aOR=1.83, 95% CI 1.18-2.85), and cancer of liver and bile duct (aOR=2.58, 95% CI 1.11-6.02). MR analysis only supported the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer. This study added evidence to the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer, highlighting the importance of cancer screening in individuals with gallstones.

Objective To investigate the functional changes of oligodendrocytes in a mouse model of cognitive impairment induced by microwave radiation and the mechanism.Methods C57BL/6N male mice were exposed to S-band microwave at 2.856 GHz and 8 mW/cm2 for 15 min.The rectal temperature of mice was monitored by an optical fiber thermometer during microwave radiation.The changes of autonomous exploration behavior and learning and memory ability of mice on the 1st and 7th days after microwave radiation were detected via the open field test and novel object recognition test.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression and distribution of neuroglia-2 proteoglycan(NG2)and myelin basic protein(MBP)in the hippocampus of mice on the 1st and 7th days after radiation.Clemastine fumarate,a drug that promoted the maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells was administered by gavage,and the expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and fibroblast growth factor 2(FGF2)in hippocampal tissues were detected by radioimmunoassay at 1 and 7 days after radiation.The changes of myelin sheath structure an 1 and 7 days after radiation were observed by transmission electron microscopy.The effects of clemastine fumarate on learning and memory impairment induced by microwave exposure in mice were assessed via open field and new object recognition experiments.Results Under the experimental conditions,the rectal temperature in mice caused by microwave radiation increased by less than 1 ℃,which was within the thermal safety range of the body.The open field test showed that compared with the control group,the microwave radiation group didn't change significant in terms of movement speedon the 1st and 7th days,but the time spent exploring in the central area was significantly reducedon the 1st day after radiation(P＜0.05).In the novel object recognition test,the indexes of the mice on the 1st day were significantly reduced(P＜0.05),indicating that the anxiety like behavior and cognitive function of the mice were impaired after microwave radiation.Compared with the control group,the proportion of NG2+area in the hippocampus was significantly decreased(P＜0.05)in the microwave radiation group,while that of MBP+area hardly changed on the 1st day after microwave radiation(P＞0.05).The expression level of oligodendrocyte related BDNF in the hippocampus was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The myelin of the corpus callosum was broken,and the myelin g ratio was significantly increased(P＜0.05),suggesting that micro wave radiation could reduce the number of oligodendrocyte precursors and damage the secretion and myelin function of oligodendrocyte.Compared with the radiation group,the expression levels of BNDF and FGF2 in the radiation combined with clemastine fumarate group were up-regulated,the myelin g ratio was significantly decreased on the 1st day after radiation(P＜0.05),and the novel object recognition index was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Pulsed microwave radiation below the body's fever threshold can cause cognitive dysfunction and other brain damage in mice.The impaired secretion and myelin function of oligodendrocytes and the decreased self-repair ability are the important mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction induced by microwave radiation.

Osteoporosis is a common bone disease， whose incidence is still on the rise， posing great challenges to patients and society. This review mainly studies the pathogenesis of osteoporosis from the aspects of oxidative stress， inflammatory response， and glucolipotoxicity-induced injury and clarifies the efficacy and mechanism of some active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine against osteoporosis through the integration of in vitro and in vivo experiments. The experimental results suggest that some active ingredients can improve bone resorption markers and maintain bone homeostasis by modulating inflammation， oxidative stress， etc. These active ingredients regulate osteoporosis through the receptor activator of nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB） ligand （RANKL） pathway， osteoprotegerin （OPG） pathway， Wnt/β-catenin pathway， NF-κB pathway， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） pathway， adenosine monophosphate （AMP）-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） pathway， and oxidative stress pathway. This review provides ideas for the progress of the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis with the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine， aiming to provide new potential lead compounds and reference for the development of innovative drugs and clinical therapy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate medication risk prediction models for hospitalized adult patients and provide references for their development and clinical application. METHODS Databases including PubMed， Embase， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang data， VIP and CBM were searched for studies on medication risk prediction models from their inception to May 2024. After screening the literature， extracting data， and evaluating the quality of the literature， descriptive analysis was performed on the results of the included studies. RESULTS A total of 13 studies were included， involving 12 models. Nine studies used Logistic regression algorithm for modeling， and the number of included predictive factors ranged from 3 to 11； the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 0.65 to 0.865. The literature quality evaluation results showed that 10 studies had high risk of bias； 10 studies had high applicability risk. A total of 31 predictive factors were extracted， including 15 items of basic patient information， 3 test indicators， and 5 items of medication information， and 8 others. CONCLUSIONS The existing medication risk prediction models for hospitalized adult inpatients are mainly Logistic regression algorithm， with predictive factors mainly focusing on basic indicators such as demographics. The overall prediction performance of the models needs to be improved， and the overall risk of bias is relatively high.

Objective To understand the willingness to engage in the combine medical care with old-age care institutions of medical students in vocational colleges and analyze their influencing factors.Methods By convenient sampling method,1 266 medical students from 3 vocational colleges in Hunan Province were select-ed as the research objects,and their occupational cognition and occupational willingness were investigated and analyzed.Through objective sampling,20 medical students who were not willing to work in medical institu-tions were selected for semi-structured interviews.Results 62.1%of medical students intend to work in med-ical institutions after graduation;The results of multi-factor analysis showed that the experience of caring for the elderly,understanding of the nursing institution,participating in the volunteer service of the nursing insti-tution,and cognition score of the combination of medical care and nursing were the influencing factors of med-ical students'career intention(P＜0.05).The qualitative interview found that professional identity,job abili-ty,salary,social security and promotion were the main influencing factors.Conclusion Medical students in medical nursing institutions do not have strong willingness,so they should improve their professional cogni-tion of old-age service,enhance their professional identity and post competency,fully implement salary,social security and professional title promotion,attract more medical students to engage in the combined service in-dustry,and promote the combined development of medical care.

Portal vein thrombosis(PVT)is a common and severe complication in patients with liver cirrhosis,and alterations in portal hemodynamics are closely associated with the development of PVT.The presence of large spontaneous splenorenal shunt(SSRS)may lead to reductions in portal vein perfusion and blood flow velocity,which may compromise the anticoagulant effect on PVT.This article reports the treatment strategies of SSRS embolization combined with anticoagulant therapy that help to achieve complete recanalization of the portal vein;however,high-quality clinical studies are still needed to further validate and support the effectiveness of this strategy.

Crohn 's disease (CD) is an intestinal inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, the pathophysiological mechanism is still unclear. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is responsible for the autonomous regulation of intestinal function. Therefore, ENS dysfunction may be the core of the pathophysiological mechanism of CD. Here, we review the pathophysiological mechanism by which ENS contributes to the development of CD, with a focus on the role of aberrant histological manifestations of ENS and plexitis in predicting the recurrence of CD following surgery.
