Objective To explore the mechanism of Jiawei Jisheng Shenqi Decoction in improving the hypoxic microenvironment and antagonizing liver cirrhosis.Methods In vivo experiments were conducted using a rat model of carbon tetrachloride(CCL4)-induced liver cirrhosis.Rats were divided into normal,model,colchicine,JWJSSQ low-dose,JWJSSQ medium-dose,and JWJSSQ high-dose group.Pathological changes in liver tissues in each group were examined by hematoxylin and eosin(HE)and Masson staining,changes in serum liver function were detected using test kits,levels of hyaluronic acid(HA),laminin(LN),procollagen Ⅲ(PC Ⅲ),and collagen typeⅣ(COL4)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and protein expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),Notch1,Jagged1,and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)were detected by Western blot.In vitro experiments were conducted in HSC-T6 cells,and the optimal concentration of CoCl2(100 μ mol/L,200μmol/L,400 μmol/L,600 μmol/L and 800 μmol/L)in the cultured cells and the optimal concentration of drug-containing serum(5％,10％,15％,20％)were determined by Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8)assay.The migration ability of cells in each group was detected by scratch testing,and changes in the apoptosis rates were determined by flow cytometry.Protein expression levels of HIF-1α,Notch1,Jagged1,α-SMA,matrix metallopeptidase 9(MMP9),and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1(TIMP-1)were detected by Western blot.Results In the in vivo experiments,liver swelling,inflammatory cell infiltration,collagen deposition,and the appearance of pseudolobules were significantly increased in the model group compared with those in the normal group.Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),HA,LN,PCⅢ,and COL4 were significantly increased and albumin(ALB)was significantly decreased in the model group,while liver levels of HIF-1α,Notch1,Jagged1,and α-SMA proteins were significantly increased(P＜0.01).Liver swelling,inflammatory cell infiltration,and collagen deposition were significantly reduced in each treatment group compared with those in the model group,and the degree of fibrosis was reduced.Serum ALT,AST,HA,LN,PCⅢ,and COL4 were significantly decreased and ALB was significantly increased,while liver levels of HIF-1α,Notch1,Jagged1,and α-SMA proteins were also significantly decreased to varying degrees(P＜0.05).In the in vitro experiments,hypoxia promoted HSC-T6 migration and reduced apoptosis,increased the protein expression levels of HIF-1α,Notch1,Jagged1,α-SMA,and TIMP-1,and reduced the expression levels of MMP9(P＜0.01).Serum containing Jiawei Jisheng Shenqi Decoction inhibited HSC-T6 migration,promoted HSC-T6 apoptosis,lowered the expression of HIF-1α,Notch1,Jagged1,α-SMA,and TIMP-1 proteins,and enhanced the expression of MMP9 protein(P＜0.01).The inhibitory effect of Jiawei Jisheng Shenqi on HSC-T6 cell activation was reversed by the HIF-1α agonist dimethyloxalylglycine.Conclusions Jiawei Jisheng Shenqi Decoction can improve the hypoxic microenvironment via the HIF-1α/Notch pathway,thereby exerting an anti-liver cirrhosis effect.

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract. In recent years, with the advancement of surgical concepts and techniques, and remarkable achievements in basic value research and clinical transformation, the clinical treatment of colorectal cancer has made considerable progress. With the deepening application of the "precision medicine" concept, the transformation of the comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic system for colorectal cancer is not only manifested in core aspects such as the optimization of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy regimens, precise selection of chemotherapy and targeted drugs, and intelligent upgrades of surgical decision-making systems, but also extends to the construction of prognostic prediction models and innovations in immunotherapy strategies. This marks the official entry of colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment into the precision medicine era. Although surgery remains the cornerstone of colorectal cancer treatment, its potential limitations cannot be overlooked while pursuing therapeutic efficacy. With the continuous development of precision medicine theory and clinical practice, the concept of precision surgery has been integrated into various stages, including preoperative evaluation and adjuvant therapy. It provides critical support for determining surgical timing, formulating surgical plans, and optimizing intraoperative procedures, thereby reshaping the clinical paradigm of colorectal cancer management. Consequently, clinical surgeons must proactively acquire precision medicine expertise and actively engage in related research and clinical practice. The authors synthesize recent global research progress in precision diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer through literature review, combined with their team's clinical experience to forecast future developmental trajectories, aiming to provide valuable insights and practical references for surgical colleagues in this evolving field.

A case of an adult patient who was admitted to the hospital with the primary complaint of dysuria was presented. CT imaging of the urinary tract revealed incomplete duplication of the bladder, accompanied by multiple diverticula in the left bladder. Urodynamic studies indicated low detrusor contraction of the bladder. Cystoscopy revealed that the left bladder was connected to the urethra, with both bladders linked by a narrow connection. Laparoscopic expansion of this junction alleviated dysuria; however, it did not significantly reduce bladder residual volume during the short-term follow-up.

Objective : To investigate the effect of environmental enrichment on cognitive impairment and hippo- campus GAP-43 changes induced by exposure to obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) during the period of late pregnancy in mice，and to explore relative inflammatory pathway mechanism． Methods : The experi- mental group of C57BL/6J pregnant mice were exposed to an intermittent hypoxic environment for 7 consecutive days starting from gestational day 15．The corresponding offspring were then placed in an enriched environment from postnatal day 21 to 2 months of age (designated as OSAHS + EE group) or in a normal environment (designat- ed as OSAHS group) ．Pregnant mice in the control group were maintained in a normal oxygen environment，and their corresponding offspring were placed in an enriched environment (designated as Control + EE group) or a nor- mal environment (designated as Control group) at the same ages．The spatial learning and memory ability of the mice was assessed by Morris water maze at the age of 2 months．The mRNA levels of NF-kB，NLRP3 and GAP-43 in the hippocampus were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR , and the protein levels of NLRP3 and GAP-43 in the hippocampus were detected by Western blot． Results: Compared with Control group，the swimming distance increased (P＜0. 01) ，and the percentage of swimming distance in target quadrant decreased (P＜0. 01) in OSAHS group．The level of NF - κB mRNA，NLRP3 mRNA and protein in the hippocampus was increased，and the level of GAP-43 mRNA and protein was decreased (P＜0. 01) ．Compared with the Control group，there were no significant differences in swimming distance，percentage of swimming distance，NF-κB mRNA，NLRP3 mRNA and protein content in the OSAHS + EE group． Conclusion OSAHS during pregnancy impairs the learning and memory ability of offspring mice and reduces the level of GAP-43 protein．The mechanism may be related to the in- crease of NF-κB / NLRP3 level，and environmental enrichment can improve the damage．

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the advances in MRI-based bone quality scoring systems and their clinical applications. METHODS: A comprehensive literature review was conducted on recent studies related to the MRI-based bone quality scoring system, focusing on measurement methods, influencing factors, and clinical significance. RESULTS: Osteoporosis has a high incidence in China, significantly impacting patients' quality of life and the postoperative outcomes of related orthopedic surgeries. Early identification of osteoporosis holds important clinical significance. In recent years, both domestic and international research has enriched the MRI-based bone quality scoring systems, which includes vertebral bone quality scoring, endplate bone quality scoring, and pedicle bone quality scoring. Compared to the "gold standard" of bone density measurement, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, the bone quality scoring systems demonstrate good efficacy in identifying abnormal bone mass and predicting postoperative complications, while being less influenced by degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, indicating its important clinical application value. CONCLUSION The MRI-based bone quality scoring systems have good value in clinical applications. However, current studies are mostly retrospective cohort and case-control studies, which carry a risk of bias. The clinical application value needs further clarification through meta-analysis and large-scale prospective studies.

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.
