Genetically modified pigs for welfare assurance is crucial for conducting xenotransplantation. However, traditional experimental animal ethics principles cannot address the social benefits issues brought about by xenotransplantation, and there is a lack of ethical justification for the assurance of experimental animal welfare. Degrazia and Bechtel proposed six principles for the welfare of experimental animals: the principle of no alternative methods, the principle of expected net benefits, the principle of adequate defense of harm, the principle of no harm without necessity, the principle of basic needs and the principle of harm limit. This paper conducts an ethical-level argumentation on the six principles for the welfare of genetically modified pigs in xenotransplantation, and points out that these six principles are of great significance in closely integrating the social benefits of xenotransplantation with the welfare of genetically modified pigs, emphasizing the moral status of genetically modified pigs, and providing standards for the ethical review of the welfare of genetically modified pigs.

The MGF300-4L protein of African swine fever virus(ASFV),a virulence-associated fac-tor,degrades IKKβ through the chaperone-mediated autophagy and enhances the stability of IKBαto suppress the generation of IL-1β and TNF-α regulated by the NF-κB signaling pathway.To iden-tify the host proteins interacting with MGF300-4L,PK-15 cells were transfected with the eukary-otic plasmid expressing MGF300-4L and analyzed using immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry(IP-MS)to identify the host proteins that interact with MGF300-4L.Additionally,gene ontology(GO)and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were conducted.Furthermore,molecular docking a-nalysis,co-immunoprecipitation,and laser confocal microscopy assays were performed to validate the host proteins interacting with MGF300-4L.The IP-MS analysis identified 145 host proteins that potentially interact with MGF300-4L.Subsequent GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analy-ses revealed that these proteins are predominantly involved in metabolic,cellular,and innate immune responses.Through molecular docking prediction,co-immunoprecipitation assay,and laser confocal microscopy,we identified the interaction between MGF300-4L and STAT1.This study provides critical insights into the mechanisms underlying the interactions between MGF300-4L and the host proteins.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.
