ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Shaoyaotang regulates the miRNA-155-mediated suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 （SOCS1）/Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 （STAT1） signaling pathway and thereby affects macrophage polarization. MethodsThe cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was used to detect the effect of drug-containing serum of Shaoyaotang at different concentrations on the viability of RAW 264.7 cells. A cell model of inflammation was established by stimulating RAW264.7 cells with lipopolysaccharide （LPS） at a concentration of 10 mg·L^-1 The modeled cells were assigned by the random number table method into seven groups： LPS-induced M1 polarization （model）， M1+miRNA-155 mimics， M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor， M1+Shaoyaotang-containing serum， M1+miRNA-155 mimics+Shaoyaotang-containing serum， M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor+Shaoyaotang-containing serum， and M1+blank serum. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of inflammatory factors ［tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-1β （IL-1β）］. Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the expression of macrophage polarization markers ［inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） and macrophage mannose receptor 1 （CD206）］. Real-time PCR was employed to measure the expression of miRNA-155 in cells. Western blot was performed to determine the protein levels of SOCS1， STAT1， and JAK1. ResultsCompared with the LPS-induced M1 polarization （model） group， the M1+miRNA-155 mimics group showed up-regulated expression of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS （P<0.05） and down-regulated expression of CD206 （P<0.05）. In both the M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor group and the M1+Shaoyaotang-containing serum group， the expression levels of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS were down-regulated （P<0.05）， while those of SOCS1 and CD206 were up-regulated （P<0.05）. Compared with the M1+miRNA-155 mimics group， the M1+miRNA-155 mimics+Shaoyaotang-containing serum group showed down-regulated expression of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS （P<0.05） and up-regulated expression of SOCS1 and CD206 （P<0.05）. Compared with the M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor group， the M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor+Shaoyaotang-containing serum group showed down-regulated expression of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS （P<0.05） and up-regulated expression of SOCS1 and CD206 （P<0.05）. ConclusionShaoyaotang regulates macrophage polarization by modulating miRNA-155 expression and interfering with the SOCS1/JAK1/STAT1 signaling pathway. The findings provide new experimental evidence for the treatment of ulcerative colitis with Shaoyaotang.

Background/Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) following total hepatectomy is a life-saving treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC recurrence after LT hinders the effectiveness of the procedure. The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operative risk stratification model based on a liquid biopsy. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics study of 260 HCC patients from three centers, including clinical data, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma, as well as whole-exome, single-nucleus RNA, and spatial transcriptomics from matched tumor and non-tumor tissues. Results: We identified cfDNA-derived copy number alteration (CNA) signatures associated with post-transplant recurrence. By integrating cfDNA-derived CNA profiles with single-cell transcriptomic data, we traced recurrence-associated cfDNA to a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells within the primary tumor. These cells were embedded in a pro-metastatic microenvironment of specialized endothelial subtypes and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Notably, most recurrence-associated lesions were detectable in cfDNA prior to liver transplantation (LT). Building on these insights, we developed the ZJU Criteria based on CNA fragments and tumor markers, a pre-LT risk prediction tool that integrates conventional clinical factors with cfDNA-derived CNA signatures, and validated it using internal and independent external cohorts. Conclusion Our findings suggest that post-transplant recurrence commonly originates from advanced subclones that emerge late during tumor evolution. The ZJU Criteria provides an accurate, non-invasive strategy that significantly improves pre-LT risk stratification and clinical decision-making for patients with HCC.

Objective To evaluate the short-term efficacy of the VISULYZE software generated nomogram in assis-ting small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)for the correction of myopia and astigmatism.Methods Non-randomized controlled trial.Patients who underwent SMILE surgery with the original nomogram,assisted by the same surgeon at the Laser Myopia Treatment Center of Xi'an NO.1 Hospital between February 2023 and January 2024,were included.A total of 52 patients(102 eyes)of myopic astigmatism with 3-month postoperative follow-up were collected.VISULYZE software was then used to generate a new nomogram.Subsequently,a total of 40 patients(70 eyes)with myopic with-the-rule astigmatism and a preoperative cylinder of ≤2.00 D,who underwent SMILE assisted by the new nomogram at the same center between August and November 2024,were enrolled.Among them,50 eyes had a target refraction of plano and were assigned to the experimental group.In addition,from the database of patients who underwent SMILE assisted by the origi-nal nomogram,42 patients(70 eyes)with myopic with-the-rule astigmatism and a cylinder of ≤2.00 D were screened,of which 51 eyes had a target refraction of plano,and these were assigned to the control group.The postoperative visual and refractive outcomes of both groups were compared at 3 months.Astigmatism results were analyzed using Alpins vector analysis.Results At 3 months postoperatively,among eyes with a target refraction of plano,50 eyes(98.0％)in the control group and all 50 eyes(100.0％)in the experimental group achieved an uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA)of ≥ 20/20.No eye in either group experienced a loss of more than one line in corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA)compared with the preoperative level.At 3 months postoperatively,63 eyes(90.0％)in the control group and 66 eyes(94.3％)in the experimental group had a spherical equivalent(SE)within-0.50 to 0.50 D.The postoperative cylinder was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group(P＜0.05).Vector analysis revealed that the ex-perimental group had smaller values for the difference vector,index of success,and absolute angle of error than the control group,with all differences being statistically significant(all P＜0.05).At 3 months postoperatively,43 eyes(61.4％)in the control group and 57 eyes(81.4％)in the experimental group had an angle of error within-5° to 5°.Conclusion The use of the VISULYZE software generated nomogram can optimize SMILE surgery design,offering good efficacy,safety,and predictability,and improving the precision of SMILE surgery for correcting myopia and astigmatism.

Aim To investigate the effect of cordycepin(COR)on gentamicin(GEN)-induced nephrotoxicity and the molecular mechanism of inhibiting oxidative stress and ferroptosis induced by GEN.Methods The oral SD rats were divided into a control group,GEN group,and GEN+COR group.Following the success-ful setting up of the animal model,the serum creatinine(CR)and urea nitrogen(BUN)levels of rats were measured,and renal tissue injury was assessed using HE staining.In addition,the contents of malondialde-hyde and glutathione in kidney tissues of SD rats in each group were detected,and the expressions of fer-roptosis markers GPX4 and SLC7A11 were analyzed by Western blot.Results Compared with the control group,CR and BUN in GEN-stimulated group signifi-cantly increased(P＜0.01),and the level of CR and BUN was effectively reduced after 50 mg·kg-1 COR oral administration.HE results also showed that COR could alleviate the kidney tissue damage caused by GEN.COR could reverse the increase of malondialde-hyde level and the decrease of glutathione level caused by GEN in rat kidney tissue,and COR could restore the decrease of GPX4 and SLC7A11 protein levels induced by GEN.Conclusion COR can reduce GEN-induced kidney injury by inhibiting oxidative stress and ferrop-tosis.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of sterilization of vas deferens by irrigation in clinic.Methods:Eighty-six male patients with voluntary sterilization were divided into control group(usual vasectomy,n=50)and observation group(sterilization of vas deferens by irrigation,n=36).The age,testicular volume,preoperative average concentration of spern,serum testosterone level,recovery duration evaluated by Artificial Obstruction Azoospermia(AOA)and degree of satisfaction were compared between the two groups of patients.Results:There were significant differences in recovery duration,degree of satisfaction between the two groups(P＜0.05).And there was no significant difference in age([32.0±5.5]years vs[31.0±6.3]years),testicular volume([16.0±4.8]mL vs[17.0±4.4]mL),preopera-tive average concentration of sperm([39.6±20.2]× 106/mL vs[40.2±22.6]× 106/mL)and levels of blood testosterone([4.3±0.8]ng/mL vs[4.4±0.8]ng/mL).There was significant difference in patency rate between the two sides of testicular ducts(91.7％vs 83.3％,P＜0.05).Conclusion:The method of sterilization of vas deferens by irrigation is worth popularizing in clinic.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.
