Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is fundamentally driven by an imbalance in hepatic fatty-acid flux: the influx of fatty acids exceeds the liver’s capacity for disposal, resulting in excessive hepatic lipid accumulation, predominantly in the form of triglycerides (TGs). The occurrence and progression of MAFLD depend on disordered regulation across multiple metabolic steps, including fatty-acid uptake, de novo lipogenesis (DNL), fatty-acid oxidation (FAO), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) export. Forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) is a key transcriptional regulator within the hepatic network coordinating glucose and lipid metabolism. Under metabolic stress and insulin resistance (IR), FOXO1 expression is frequently increased, whereas its inhibitory phosphorylation is reduced. These changes enhance FOXO1 nuclear localization and transcriptional activity, thereby reprogramming the expression of genes related to metabolism in the liver. Because hepatic lipid deposition is the central pathological feature of MAFLD, the functional status of FOXO1 directly influences hepatic lipid homeostasis. Growing evidence suggests that FOXO1 can exert bidirectional, environment-dependent effects on hepatic lipid accumulation; however, the molecular basis for this functional switch remains incompletely understood. This review systematically summarizes the biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of FOXO1 and its roles in hepatic lipid metabolism, with a particular focus on its crosstalk with insulin signaling. FOXO1 expression is shaped by RNA modifications and epigenetic regulation mediated by non-coding RNAs. Its transcriptional output is precisely governed by post-translational modifications—such as phosphorylation and acetylation—as well as by coordinated nucleocytoplasmic shuttling. Notably, these regulatory patterns vary markedly across nutritional states, degrees of insulin resistance, and stages of disease. In the fed state, insulin/IGF-1 signaling activates the PI3K-AKT pathway, promoting the inhibitory phosphorylation of FOXO1 and facilitating additional modifications, including acetylation, methylation, and ubiquitination. Together, these events drive FOXO1 export from the nucleus and dampen its transcriptional activity, suppressing gluconeogenesis and constraining lipogenic programs. Conversely, during fasting or when insulin signaling is weakened, FOXO1 inhibition is relieved. FOXO1 accumulates in the nucleus, binds to DNA, and regulates the transcription of downstream target genes. Mechanistically, FOXO1 can aggravate hepatic lipid accumulation by activating genes involved in TG synthesis while repressing FAO-related pathways, thereby favoring storage over oxidation. However, under specific conditions, FOXO1 may also alleviate the hepatic lipid burden by promoting TG hydrolysis and enhancing VLDL secretion, thereby reducing the net hepatic lipid load. In addition, lipotoxic signals mediated by ceramides and diacylglycerols (Cer/DAG) activate atypical protein kinase C (aPKC), further exacerbating the disruption of the AKT-FOXO1 axis. This vicious cycle ultimately produces a metabolic paradox in which increased hepatic glucose output coexists with persistent, insulin-independent lipogenesis, accelerating MAFLD progression. Importantly, FOXO1 regulation is not uniform: during early metabolic overload, insulin-mediated suppression may remain effective, whereas in advanced insulin resistance, the loss of AKT control permits sustained FOXO1 activity. Such stage-dependent dynamics may help explain why FOXO1 can either promote steatosis or, in certain contexts, support programs that facilitate lipid turnover. Accordingly, interventions should be liver-specific and tuned to the disease stage, aiming to curb maladaptive FOXO1 signaling while preserving its capacity to promote triglyceride hydrolysis and VLDL secretion when advantageous. Overall, this review offers an important perspective on MAFLD pathogenesis, emphasizing FOXO1 as a potential therapeutic target and providing a theoretical basis for developing liver-specific, disease-course-dependent precision interventions.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the impact of age on the genetic variant spectrum and prognosis of patients with previously untreated Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and follow-up information of 254 previously untreated DLBCL patients from 14 hospitals in the Jiangsu Cooperative Lymphoma Group (JCLG) enrolled from July 2018 and July 2023. Following extraction of DNA from tumor tissue samples, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique was employed to analyze the genetic variant spectrum of the DLBCL patients, with an evaluation of the relationship between age and genetic variants as well as prognosis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University (Ethics No.: 2023-K048-01). RESULTS: The median age of the 254 DLBCL patients was 62 years old, with 55% of patients aged 60 years or above. Clinical evaluation showed that younger (< 60 years) patients had higher complete response (CR) (70% vs. 59%), and objective response rate (ORR) (88% vs. 79%) than older patients, though the difference between the two groups was not statistically. Survival analysis indicated that both the five-year overall survival (OS) (82.7% vs. 71.7%, P = 0.006) and progression-free survival (PFS) (70.6% vs. 50.2%, P < 0.05) rates were significantly higher in younger patients. NGS showed that 99.6% of the patients harbored genetic variants, with PIM1, KMT2D, TP53, MYD88, and CD79B being the most common genes. Age significantly affected the variant frequency of certain genes, with MYC variants serving an adverse prognostic factor for OS in younger patients (P = 0.002), while TP53 (P = 0.024) and BCL2 (P = 0.002) variants significantly impacted OS in older patients. Prognostic analysis identified age ≥ 60 years (HR = 3.439, 95%CI: 1.318~9.874), presence of B symptoms (HR = 2.871, 95%CI = 1.133~7.307), and elevated lactate dehydrogenase (HR = 3.528, 95%CI = 1.231~10.66) as independent adverse prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Age, genetic variants, and clinical factors may significantly affect the prognosis of the DLBCL patients. Younger patients have better survival compared to older patients. Variants of the MYC, BCL2, and TP53 genes are closely associated with poor prognosis.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the clinical risk factors and prognosis of perioperative myocardial injury(MINS)in non-cardiac surgery patients admitted to the intensive care unit(ICU).Methods A total of 478 postoperative patients admitted to the Department of Intensive Medicine,Minhang Hospital,Fudan University from Jan 2020 to Dec 2023 were selected.They were divided into MINS group(n=302)and normal group(n=176)based on whether myocardial injury occurred within 7 days after surgery.The differences in clinical characteristics between the two groups were compared,and risk factors for perioperative myocardial injury were identified.Risk factors for mortality in the MINS group were analyzed with 30-day mortality as the clinical endpoint.Results The prevalence of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(Apache Ⅱ)score,coronary artery disease,and chronic kidney disease were all higher in the MINS group than those in the normal group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The proportion of emergency surgeries,co-infection,and perioperative hypotension were significantly different between the MINS group and the normal group(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that chronic kidney disease,emergency surgery,co-infection,and intraoperative and postoperative hypotension were risk factors for MINS occurrence.Prognostic analysis indicated that perioperative hypotension was a risk factor for 30-day mortality in MINS patients.Conclusion MINS is closely associated with patients'underlying conditions,timing of surgery,and perioperative hypotension status,and especially perioperative hypotension affects the final outcomes.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of externally applied mirabilite combined with infrared irradiation in promoting wound healing following biliary tract surgery.Methods Patients who underwent open surgery for biliary tract disease in our department between January 2022 and April 2025 were randomly assigned to one of three groups:(1)Combination group(n=60),which received postoperative wound treatment with mirabilite application combined with infrared irradiation;(2)Mirabilite group(n=60),treated with mirabilite application alone;and(3)Infrared group(n=60),treated with infrared irradiation alone.The primary outcomes included wound healing grade on postoperative day 7,pain intensity measured on days 3,5,and 7,and wound healing status up to discharge.For cases with suboptimal healing,the duration required for complete healing following intervention was documented.Secondary outcomes encompassed length of postoperative hospital stay and Vancouver Scar Scale(VSS)scores—assessing scar pigmentation,thickness,vascularity,and pliability—evaluated at 3 months postoperatively.Results The combination group exhibited significantly lower rates of poor wound healing,shorter postoperative hospital stays,improved VSS scores—particularly in terms of scar thickness and pliability—and reduced pain levels on the 3rd and 5th postoperative days compared to the other two groups(P<0.05).Conclusions The combined use of mirabilite and infrared irradiation for surgical incisions following biliary tract surgery represents an effective,economical,and readily accessible adjuvant therapy.It significantly reduces the incidence of impaired wound healing and effectively alleviates early postoperative pain,thereby demonstrating strong potential for clinical promotion.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective To quantify the intraretinal fluid(IRF)volume in patients with diabetic macular edema(DME)using a deep learning-based three-dimensional segmentation model and to investigate the relationship of IRF volume with visual function and retinal biomarkers based on optical coherence tomography(OCT).Methods A total of 37 pa-tients(42 eyes)with DME who received treatment in the Ophthalmology Department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospi-tal from July 2022 to September 2024 were prospectively included in this study.A three-dimensional segmentation model was used to automatically quantify the IRF volume within a 6 mm × 6 mm OCT scan at baseline and at the last follow-up.The correlation of visual acuity with IRF volume,central subfield thickness(CST),disorganization of the retinal inner lay-ers(DRIL),hyperreflective foci(HRF),external limiting membrane(ELM),ellipsoid zone(EZ),and vitreomacular in-terface abnormality(VMIA)was analyzed at baseline and the last follow-up.Additionally,the correlation of IRF volume with CST,DRIL,HRF,ELM,EZ,and VMIA was analyzed at both time points.Furthermore,the correlation of the visual acuity at the last follow-up with the IRF volume,CST,DRIL,HRF,ELM,EZ,and VMIA at baseline was analyzed.Results Compared with the baseline value,patients exhibited a significant increase in the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)(logMAR),a significant decrease in the IRF volume and CST,a significant reduction in the HRF,a significant re-covery in the DRIL,ELM,and EZ(all P＜0.05),and no significant changes in the VMIA(P=1.000)at the last follow-up.At baseline,the BCVA was negatively correlated with the IRF volume,CST,DRIL,and HRF,but positively correlated with the ELM and EZ(all P＜0.05);there was no correlation between the BCVA and VMIA(P=0.069).At the last follow-up,the BCVA was negatively correlated with the DRIL,HRF,and VMIA,but positively correlated with the ELM and EZ(all P＜0.01);the BCVA did not correlate with the IRF volume and CST(P=0.419 and 0.994).At baseline,the IRF volume was positively correlated with the CST(P＜0.001)but negatively correlated with the ELM and EZ(P＜0.01);the IRF vol-ume did not correlate with the DRIL,HRF,and VMIA(all P＞0.05).At the last follow-up,the IRF volume was positively correlated with the CST and HRF(all P＜0.01);however,it was not correlated with the DRIL,ELM,EZ,and VMIA(all P＞0.05).The BCVA at the last follow-up was positively correlated with the BCVA,ELM,and EZ at baseline,but negative-ly correlated with the IRF volume,CST,DRIL,HRF,and VMIA at baseline(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The baseline IRF volume in DME patients is an important influencing factor of visual acuity at baseline and the last follow-up.Hence,the IRF volume may serve as a potential biomarker in the management of DME.
