The application of immunosuppressants has significantly reduced the incidence rate of rejection reaction after liver transplantation, but the clinical efficacy of immunosuppressants is greatly affected by individual differences between patients. This article systematically reviews the recent research advances in the interaction between immunosuppressants and gut microbiota, with a focus on the regulatory role and mechanism of intestinal microflora communities on the efficacy of immunosuppressants. Studies have shown that intestinal microbiome is one of the key factors influencing the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplantation. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for in-depth research in this field and provide new insights for developing individualized immunosuppressive treatment regimens based on the regulation of intestinal microflora.

Objective:
To construct a framework for risk identification and mechanistic explanation of conduct problems in adolescents, so as to provide a basis for formulating effective prevention strategies.
Methods:
In October 2025, a total of 2 126 junior and senior high school students from Zibo City in Shandong Province, Zhengzhou City in Henan Province, and Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using a combination of convenience sampling and random cluster sampling. The instruments included the Adolescent Conduct Problem Tendency Questionnaire, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Callous- Unemotional Traits Scale, Parenting Style Scale, Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve Scale, Perceived School Climate Scale, and the School Context Subscale of the Multiple Violence Exposure Scale. Machine learning algorithms and response surface methodology (RSM) were employed to reveal the non linear interactive effects of risk factors on adolescent conduct problems.
Results:
Impulsive personality ranked first in feature importance, followed by neglectful parenting style and perceived school climate. Impulsive personality and neglectful parenting style both positively predicted rule breaking ( B =0.42, 0.16) and aggression tendencies( B =0.41,0.14), with the interaction effect between the two being significantly negative in both cases ( B =-0.19,-0.08); impulsive personality ( B =0.33) and perceived school climate ( B =0.47) positively predicted addiction tendency, with the interaction term being significantly negative ( B =-0.16)(all P <0.05). For rule breaking tendency, the congruence slope (0.58), congruence curvature (-0.16), incongruence slope (0.26), and incongruence curvature (0.22) all reached statistical significance (all P <0.05). For addiction tendency, the congruence slope (0.79), incongruence slope (-0.15), and incongruence curvature (0.34) all reached statistical significance (all P <0.05). For aggression tendency, the congruence slope (0.55), incongruence slope (0.26), and incongruence curvature (0.15) all reached statistical significance(all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Impulsive personality is the core driver of rule breaking and aggression tendencies, with neglectful parenting style playing a moderating role; perceived school climate is the core driver of addiction tendency and exhibits an interactive inhibition effect with impulsive personality.

In order to delve into the molecular mechanism underlying the increased pathogenicity of the recombinant Muscovy duck parvovirus(rMDPV)towards Muscovy ducklings,two sub-genom-ic fragments of the rMDPV strain ZW were cloned into the plasmid pBluescript Ⅱ(SK)to gener-ate the recombinant plasmid pZW.A single nucleotide mutation was engineered in the VP3 gene of pZW to discriminate from the parental strain ZW.pZW plasmid-lipid complex was transfected into the chorioallantoic membrane of 11-day-old embryonated Muscovy duck embryos,resulting in res-cue of infectious virus,rZW,carrying the genetic marker.The rescued virus was passaged in 12-day-old embryonated Muscovy duck embryos and exhibited the similar medium embryo lethal dose(ELD50)value and growth curve compared to the parental strain ZW.Both rZW and strain ZW led to 100%mortality in the infection tests performed with 3-day-old Muscovy duckling.Postmortem necropsy revealed a characteristic intestine embolism formed in the rZW-infected ducklings.Taken together,the generation of the infectious clone pZW lays a solid foundation for deciphering the pathogenesis of rMDPV.
