Objective To explore the relationship between PANoptosis and hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI), and to screen the key genes of PANoptosis in HIRI. Methods PANoptosis-related differentially expressed genes (PDG) were obtained through the Gene Expression Omnibus database and GeneCards database. Gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were used to explore the biological pathways related to PDG. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed. Key genes were selected, and their diagnostic value was assessed and validated in the HIRI mice. Immune cell infiltration analysis was performed based on the cell-type identification by estimating relative subsets of RNA transcripts. Results A total of 16 PDG were identified. GO analysis showed that PDG were closely related to cellular metabolism. KEGG analysis indicated that PDG were mainly enriched in cellular death pathways such as apoptosis and immune-related signaling pathways such as the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway. GSEA results showed that key genes were mainly enriched in immune-related signaling pathways such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Two key genes, DFFB and TNFSF10, were identified with high accuracy in diagnosing HIRI, with areas under the curve of 0.964 and 1.000, respectively. Immune infiltration analysis showed that the control group had more infiltration of resting natural killer cells, M2 macrophages, etc., while the HIRI group had more infiltration of M0 macrophages, neutrophils, and naive B cells. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction results showed that compared with the Sham group, the relative expression of DFFB messenger RNA in liver tissue of HIRI group mice increased, and the relative expression of TNFSF10 messenger RNA decreased. Cibersort analysis showed that the infiltration abundance of naive B cells was positively correlated with DFFB expression (r=0.70, P=0.035), and the infiltration abundance of M2 macrophages was positively correlated with TNFSF10 expression (r=0.68, P=0.045). Conclusions PANoptosis-related genes DFFB and TNFSF10 may be potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HIRI.
2.Research Advancements on Programmed Cell Death in Lung Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
Journal of Sun Yat-sen University(Medical Sciences) 2025;46(6):964-972
Lung transplantation (LTx) is the only effective curative treatment for end-stage lung disease (ESLD), applicable to patients with advanced lung diseases who do not respond to medical and other surgical management, and can significantly improve the prognosis. However, LTx still faces many challenges, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and low long-term survival. Improving lung IRI is of great significance for the recovery of lung function and the prognosis of patients after transplantation. Lung IRI is a response to tissue damage and inflammation that worsens when the blood supply to the lung tissue is restored (reperfusion) after it has undergone a disruption of blood flow (ischemia). IRI is an important pathophysiological basis for primary graft dysfunction (PGD), and its injury mechanisms are complex and diverse, involving the activation of multiple cell deaths. Programmed cell death (PCD) is a highly ordered process of cell self-extinction regulated by genes, mainly including apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, pyroptosis and cuproptosis, which are of great physiological significance for maintaining biological development, homeostasis and immune defense. Recent studies have shown that the activation of multiple PCDs is closely related to the occurrence and development of lung IRI. PCD is widely involved in lung IRI through different molecular mechanisms, but its specific regulatory mechanism has not been fully elucidated. This article systematically reviews the latest progress of various types of PCD in lung IRI, analyzes the molecular mechanism and interaction of PCD in lung IRI, and explores their potential as therapeutic targets, aiming to provide new insights for the development of clinical lung protection strategies.

Objective:To investigate the effect of aortic root repair and replacement on the surgical effect and postoperative complications of Stanford type A aortic dissection.Methods:By retrospective case-control study, 190 patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from August 2020 to December 2023.According to the different surgical treatment methods, they were divided into repair group ( n=65) and replacement group ( n=125). Patients in the repair group received aortic root repair, while patients in the replacement group received aortic root replacement, that was, Bentall operation. The surgical related indexes, surgical effect, postoperative outcome and mid-term survival rate of the two groups were compared. The measurement data conforming to the normal distribution were expressed by the mean standard deviation ( ± s), and the comparison between groups adopted t-test; The measurement data of skewed distribution were expressed by M( Q1, Q3), and the comparison between groups was conducted using the rank sum test. Counting data were expressed by the number of cases and percentage (%), and the comparison between groups was conducted by chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method. Results:There was no significant difference in distal aortic operation, cardiopulmonary bypass time, hypothermic circulatory arrest time and occlusion time between repair group and replacement group ( P>0.05).There was no significant difference in ventilator-assisted time, intensive care unit stay time, visual analogue score(VAS) after waking up and hospitalization time between repair group and replacement group ( P>0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in 30-days mortality rate after discharge (9.2% vs 11.2%) and postoperative complications (18.5% vs 22.4%) ( P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between the medium-term survival rate of patients in repair group and replacement group ( χ2=0.46, P=0.500). During the follow-up period, one patient in the replacement group underwent reoperation, including Bentall operation, with an interval of 14 months. Conclusions:the choice of aortic root repair or replacement has no effect on the surgical effect and postoperative complications of Stanford A aortic dissection patients. The short-term and medium-term survival rate of aortic root repair is similar to that of replacement, and no patient received proximal surgery again during the follow-up period, which is feasible and safe.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to retrieve related research literature on hand, foot and mouth disease and meteorological factors, and visualization analysis was conducted from the aspects of publication volume, relevant authors, keywords and journal analysis. Results A total of 610 literatures were included in this study, including 339 foreign documents and 271 Chinese documents. The number of published literatures in this field showed an increasing trend year by year. In foreign literature, there were 147 core authors, and 209 keywords appeared more than 3 times. In Chinese literature, there were 57 core authors, and 66 keywords appeared more than 3 times. In recent years, time series analysis and Bayesian spatiotemporal models had been widely used to explore the relationship between hand, foot and mouth disease and meteorological factors. Science of the Total Environment (28 articles) and Disease Surveillance (12 articles) accounted for the largest number of publications in foreign and Chinese journals, respectively. Compared with Chinese journals, foreign journals formed a stable group of journals. Conclusion In general, the research content in this field is rich, and the research trend has shifted from epidemiological research to the application of new methods in this field to explore the impact of meteorological factors on the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease.
