Iron overload refers to the pathological state in which the iron content in the body exceeds physiological requirements,Resultsing in the deposition of iron in the organs.Iron overload mouse models are an important tool for the study of iron metabolism disorders and related diseases.This paper summarizes the commonly used modeling method used in the construction of iron overload mouse models,which mainly comprise two categories.(1)exogenous iron overload mouse models,constructed through supplementation with extraenteral iron(injected iron)or intraintestinal iron(oral iron);(2)spontaneous iron overload models,constructed by screening for specific mouse lines or modifying iron metabolism-related genes.The method involving extraenteral iron supplementation has a short modeling duration and a high success rate,making it suitable for single and composite iron overload models.However,the high iron absorption rate may cause toxic reactions;thus,the optimal dose needs to be determined in advance.By contrast,intraintestinal iron supplementation is simple and safe,but has a low iron absorption rate and a long modeling duration.The spontaneous iron overload model is mainly used for specific genetic research studies,which are complex and involve high costs.The various modeling method offer diverse research pathways,spanning from molecular to systemic levels.This diversity is conducive to gaining an in-depth understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying iron overload and provides an experimental basis for the development of new treatments.

Objective:To explore the clinical and imaging features of the concomitant gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma(G-EAC)in female patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome(PJS),so as to improve the early diagnostic level for PJS.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and imaging data of 12 patients who were confirmed as PJS with G-EAC at Air Force Medical Center,PLA from June 2021 to December 2024.The 12 patients all received computed tomography(CT)examination before surgery,and 6 cases among of them received magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)examination at the same time.The features of clinical performance,and imaging features of CT and MR in all patients were analyzed.Results:In 12 G-EAC patients,7 cases(58.3%)did not occurred any abnormally relative symptoms of gynaecology and obstetrics,while 5 cases(41.7%)occurred increase of vaginal drainage and/or vaginal bleeding.The results of imaging examination indicated that 12 cases occurred concomitant cyst,including 5 cases(41.7%)with large cysts,6 cases(50.0%)that micro cysts coexisted with large cysts,1 case(8.3%)that solid mass combined with small amount of micro cysts,and 4 cases(33.3%)that combined with small amount of uterine cavity effusion.MR performance was the most of occurrences were quasi-circular object with long T1/T2 signals,and the sequences of diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)appeared there was no diffusion or mild restriction,and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)appeared slightly high signal.The tumors that mainly were solid components appeared longer T2 signals,which diffusion was limited,and which ADC values appeared low signals.CT images of them presented enlarged cervixes,and mixed-density cystic and solid nodules and mass shadows at local tissues,and cellular change at local lesions.There was not significant strengthen at the cystic fields of the lesion with enhanced scan,and the solid fields appeared uneven enhancement.The accuracy rates both of preoperative CT and MR diagnosis were 50.0%.Conclusion:The clinical appearance,and imaging futures of CT and MR examinations of PJS female patients with G-EAC are respectively:partial patients occur vaginal drainage and/or vaginal bleeding,the most of tumors often occurs at the entire cervix(includes upper segment),often combines with cystic changes,and often appears infiltrating growth.The clinical PJS appearance,CT and MR examinations contribute to early diagnosis for G-EAC.

For middle-aged and elderly patients with conditions such as spinal fractures and degenerative spinal diseases, spinal internal fixation is a core surgical procedure for reconstructing spinal stability, heavily relying on the biomechanical stability provided by pedicle screw systems. Whereas, these patients are often complicated by osteoporosis that can significantly compromise the stability of the bone-pedicle screw interface, leading to a marked increase in pedicle screw loosening and surgical failure rates. The bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique, which involves injecting bone cement into the vertebral body or screw trajectory to optimize the mechanical properties of the bone-pedicle screw composite, has been proven to significantly enhance fixation strength and effectively prevent screw-related failures, thereby reducing the incidence of internal fixation failure in high-risk populations undergoing spinal fusion. However, the widespread clinical application of this technique has faced challenges such as inaccurate clinical decision-making (indication and contraindication selection), non-standardized operative practices, and insufficient awareness of complication prevention, resulting in considerable variability in clinical outcomes and even severe complications. To address this, Prof. Luo Fei from First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University initiated the project and the Chinese Association Orthopaedic Surgeons organized relevant experts to develop the Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique ( version 2025), based on current evidence. The guidelines put forward 8 recommendations regarding the clinical value, scope of application, and operational standards of the technique, aiming to provide evidence-based medical support and technical standardization for clinical decision-making.

Hepatic encephalopathy is a clinical syndrome of central nervous system dysfunction caused by liver insufficiency.It severely affects the quality of life of patients and may lead to death.Accurate prediction of the risk of developing hepatic encephalopathy is crucial for early intervention and treatment.In order to identify the risk of hepatic encephalopathy in patients in advance,many studies have been devoted to efforts to develop tools and methods to identify the risk of hepatic encephalopathy as early as possible,so as to develop preventive and early management strategies.Most conventional hepatic encephalopathy risk prediction models currently assess the prob-ability of a patient developing hepatic encephalopathy by analysing factors such as clinical data and biochemical indicators,however,their accuracy,sensitivity and positive predictive value are not high.The application of artificial intelligence to clinical predictive modelling is a very hot and promising area,which can use large amounts of data and complex algorithms to improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis and prognosis.To date,there have been few studies using AI techniques to predict hepatic encephalopathy.Therefore,this paper reviews the research progress of hepatic encephalopathy risk prediction models,and also discusses the prospect of AI application in hepatic encephalopathy risk prediction models.It also points out the challenges and future research directions of AI in HE risk prediction model research in order to promote the development and clinical application of hepatic encephalopathy risk prediction models.

A major impedance to neuronal regeneration after peripheral nerve injury(PNI)is the activation of various programmed cell death mechanisms in the dorsal root ganglion.Ferroptosis is a form of pro-grammed cell death distinguished by imbalance in iron and thiol metabolism,leading to lethal lipid peroxidation.However,the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in the context of PNI and nerve regeneration remain unclear.Ferroportin(Fpn),the only known mammalian nonheme iron export protein,plays a pivotal part in inhibiting ferroptosis by maintaining intracellular iron homeostasis.Here,we explored in vitro and in vivo the involvement of Fpn in neuronal ferroptosis.We first delineated that reactive oxygen species at the injury site induces neuronal ferroptosis by increasing intracellular iron via accelerated UBA52-driven ubiquitination and degradation of Fpn,and stimulation of lipid peroxidation.Early administration of the potent arterial vasodilator,hydralazine(HYD),decreases the ubiquitination of Fpn after PNI by binding to UBA52,leading to suppression of neuronal cell death and significant ac-celeration of axon regeneration and motor function recovery.HYD targeting of ferroptosis is a promising strategy for clinical management of PNI.
