Objective To explore the feasibility and reference value of allogeneic lung transplantation and postoperative monitoring in miniature pigs for lung transplantation research. Methods Two miniature pigs (R1 and R2) underwent left lung allogeneic transplantation. Complement-dependent cytotoxicity tests and blood cross-matching were performed before surgery. The main operative times and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO₂) after opening the pulmonary artery were recorded during surgery. Postoperatively, routine blood tests, biochemical blood indicators and inflammatory factors were detected, and pathological examinations of multiple organs were conducted. Results The complement-dependent cytotoxicity test showed that the survival rate of lymphocytes between donors and recipients was 42.5%-47.3%, and no agglutination reaction occurred in the cross-matching. The first warm ischemia times of D1 and D2 were 17 min and 10 min, respectively, and the cold ischemia times were 246 min and 216 min, respectively. Ultimately, R1 and R2 survived for 1.5 h and 104 h, respectively. Postoperatively, in R1, albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLB) decreased, and alanine aminotransferase increased; in R2, ALB, GLB and aspartate aminotransferase all increased. Urea nitrogen and serum creatinine increased in both recipients. Pathological results showed that in R1, the transplanted lung had partial consolidation with inflammatory cell infiltration, and multiple organs were congested and damaged. In R2, the transplanted lung had severe necrosis with fibrosis, and multiple organs had mild to moderate damage. The expression levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 increased in the transplanted lungs. Conclusions The allogeneic lung transplantation model in miniature pigs may systematically evaluate immunological compatibility, intraoperative function and postoperative organ damage. The data obtained may provide technical references for subsequent lung transplantation research.

ObjectiveTo investigate the repair effects of Zhengan Xifengtang on intestinal mucosal barrier in spontaneously hypertensive rats （SHRs） through the pathways of farnesoid X receptor （FXR）-myosin light chain kinase （MLCK）/phosphorylated myosin light chain （p-MLC） and its potential mechanism. MethodsForty 10-week-old male SHRs were randomly divided into model group， amlodipine besylate group （0.5 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and high， middle and low dose groups of Zhengan Xifengtang （34.5， 17.25， 8.625 g·kg^-1·d^-1）； eight age-matched male Wistar-Kyoto （WKY） rats of the same origin served as the normal control group. Drug intervention was carried out for 8 weeks， and the blood pressure of the rats was measured regularly. After the intervention， the rats were euthanized to collect tissue samples. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining and Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff （AB-PAS） staining were used to evaluate the pathological morphology and the number of goblet cells in colonic mucosa. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to measure plasma lipopolysaccharide （LPS） and diamine oxidase （DAO） levels in each group of rats. Immunofluorescence （IF） assay was used to detect the relative fluorescence intensity of FXR and p-MLC in colonic tissue. Western blot was used to detect the zonula occludens-1 （ZO-1）， Occludin， Claudin-1， junctional adhesion molecule-1 （JAM-1）， mucin-2 （MUC2）， FXR， MLCK， and p-MLC protein expression in colon tissue. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA expression levels of ZO-1， Occludin， Claudin-1， JAM-1， MUC2， FXR， MLCK， and MLC in colon tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the blood pressure in the model group increased significantly （P<0.01）， the colonic mucosal structure was seriously damaged， and the number of goblet cells decreased significantly. The contents of LPS and DAO increased significantly （P<0.01）， the relative fluorescence intensity of FXR in colon decreased， while that of p-MLC increased （P<0.01）. The protein and mRNA expressions of ZO-1， Claudin-1， JAM-1， Occludin， MUC2 and FXR decreased significantly （P<0.01）， whereas the protein expression of MLCK and p-MLC increased significantly （P<0.01）. Additionally， the mRNA expression of MLCK and MLC increased significantly （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Zhengan Xifengtang groups at various dosages and the amlodipine besylate group showed significantly reduced blood pressure （P<0.01）. The damage of colonic mucosa structure was alleviated， the infiltration of inflammatory cells decreased， and the number of goblet cells increased. LPS and DAO levels were decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In the colon， the relative fluorescence intensity of FXR increased， while that of p-MLC decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The protein and mRNA expression levels of ZO-1， Claudin-1， JAM-1， Occludin， and FXR increased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while the protein expression of MLCK and p-MLC decreased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， the mRNA expression of MLCK and MLC decreased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the protein expression of MUC2 increased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The expression of MUC2 mRNA in each dose group of Zhengan Xifengtang increased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionZhengan Xifengtang may regulate the FXR-MLCK/p-MLC signaling pathway and enhance the expression of tight junction protein， thereby reducing intestinal mucosal permeability， promoting mucosal barrier repair， decreasing LPS release into the blood， and ultimately lowering blood pressure.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To carry out serological and molecular tests on 12 blood donors and family members of one proband with discrepancy results for ABO serological typing.Methods:Twelve blood donors with ABO discrepancies identified by the Blood Center of Shaanxi Province from March 2015 to December 2023 and family members of one proband were selected as the study subjects. Serological blood typing was carried out to determine their blood phenotype. ABO genotype of the samples was determined by direct sequencing of amplicons of exons 1 to 7 and cloning sequencing of amplicons of exons 6 and 7. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Blood Center of Shaanxi Province (Ethics No.202328). Results:Serological results showed that 5 samples were Aweak, 4 samples were Aweak with anti-A1 antibody, and 3 samples were AweakB with anti-A1. Direct sequencing and cloning sequencing results showed that all 12 samples had the haplotype ABO* A1.01/c.389T>C, and family studies showed that the allele could be stably inherited. Glycosyltransferase activity in the plasma was decreased in all samples. Conclusion:The c. 389T>C variant of the ABO* A1.01 allele can alter the encoded amino acid p.Leu130Pro, which weakens the activity of A glycosyltransferase, ultimately leading to the weak expression of A antigen.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To explore the correlation of bilateral knee joint strength asymmetry with balance,walking ability,and motor function in hemiplegic stroke patients,providing a reference for clinical assessment of stroke patients.Methods A total of 46 hemiplegic stroke patients admitted to the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of People's Hospital of Shijiazhuang from February to December 2023 were selected.According to the Berg Balance Scale(BBS)scores,patients were divided into Group A(BBS score≤20,n=23)and Group B(BBS score>20,n=23).The peak torque and differences of bilateral knee flexors and extensors were compared between two groups.Isokinetic technology was used to assess the differences in peak torque of bilateral knee joints at 60°/s and 120°/s.BBS,Functional Ambulation Classification(FAC),and Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity(FMA-LE)were used to evaluate patients'balance,walking ability,and lower limb motor function.The correlation between bilateral knee joint peak torque and its difference with the scores of three functional scales was analyzed.Results The peak torque of knee flexors and extensors at 60°/s in group A was significantly lower than that in group B(P<0.05).At both 60°/s and 120°/s the differences in peak torque between the healthy and affected sides of knee flexors and extensors were greater than those in group B(P<0.05).At 60°/s,the difference in peak torque of bilateral knee extensors in hemiplegic stroke patients was negatively correlated with the scores of BBS,FAC,and FMA-LE(r=-0.569,-0.582,-0.606,P<0.01),as did the knee flexors(r=-0.534,-0.386,-0.458,P<0.05).At 120°/s,similar negative correlations were observed for both knee extensors(r=-0.304,-0.304,-0.443,P<0.05)and flexors(r=-0.337,-0.349,-0.370,P<0.05).Conclusions Bilateral knee joint strength asymmetry in hemiplegic stroke patients is negatively correlated with balance and walking ability.The difference in strength between the two sides of knee joint may be one of the clinical indicators for evaluating the motor function of stroke patients.
