Objective To construct mice hepatocellular carcinoma models with different tumor immune microenvironments(TIME)and explore the differences.Methods H22 and hepa1-6 were used to construct subcutaneous transplantation tumor model of C57 mice as homologous hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines(denoted as H22 group and hepal-6 group,each n=8),and the differences of TIME were evaluated.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect and quantify the infiltration of T cells,CD4+T cells,CD8+T cells,regulatory T cells and B cells in TIME.Flow cytometry was performed to detect the differences of composition of immune cell subpopulations in peripheral blood and tumor parenchyma.Gene expression profile characteristics of tumor tissue were analyzed based on high-throughput transcriptome sequencing technology,and enrichment analyses of immune-related signaling pathways were evaluated combined with gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG).Results H22 group showed cold and hepa1-6 group showed hot TIME characteristics.The number of T cells,CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells in tumor tissue of H22 group were all lower,while the proportion of T cells,CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells in peripheral blood were all higher than those of hepa1-6 group(all P＜0.05).Compared with H22 group,up-regulated genes of tumor tissue in hepa1-6 group expressed significantly enriched in tumor immune activation-related signaling pathways.Conclusion H22 and hepa1-6 hepatocellular carcinoma models showed distinct TIME characteristics of cold and hot tumors,respectively,and the amount of immune cells in tumor tissue of the former were significantly lower than those in the latter.

Objective:To explore the value of contrast enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) combined with shear wave elastography (SWE) in the diagnosis of urethral stricture.Methods:One hundred and twenty patients with urethral stricture were recruited, and preoperative retrograde urography, common urethral ultrasound, and CEUS were used to measure the length of the stricture site, and SWE was used to detect the elasticity value of the stricture site and its nearby spongiosum. Intraoperative urethral stricture lesion site measurements were performed to confirm the actual lesion location and length during surgery and to compare them with the lengths measured in the preoperative examination;4 months after surgery, SWE was used to detect the stiffness of the surgical site and to assess the surgical efficacy and prognosis.Results:The stenosis length measured by CEUS and intraoperative measurement had no statistical difference: (4.41 ± 1.47) cm vs. (4.37 ± 1.36) cm, t = 0.22, P>0.05. The elastic value in urethra stenosis in SWE was higher than that in normal urethra: (33.1 ± 6.7) kPa vs. (23.3 ± 4.1) kPa, there was statistical difference ( t = 13.67, P<0.05). The elastic value of unobstructed urethra and that of normal urethra after reconstruction had no statistical difference ( t = 0.95, P>0.05). Conclusions:CEUS combined with SWE is a safe, accurate and effective method to evaluate urethral stricture. SWE can be used to measure postoperative outcomes and recurrence.

Radiopharmaceuticals operate by combining radionuclides with carriers. The radiation energy emitted by radionuclides is utilized to selectively irradiate diseased tissues while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. In comparison to external beam radiation therapy, radionuclide drugs demonstrate research potential due to their biological targeting capabilities and reduced normal tissue toxicity. This article reviews the applications and research progress of radiopharmaceuticals in cancer treatment. Several key radionuclides are examined, including ²²³Ra, ⁹⁰Y, Lutetium-177 (¹⁷⁷Lu), ²¹²Pb, and Actinium-225 (²²⁵Ac). It also explores the current development trends of radiopharmaceuticals, encompassing the introduction of novel radionuclides, advancements in imaging technologies, integrated diagnosis and treatment approaches, and equipment-medication combinations. We review the progress in the development of new treatments, such as neutron capture therapy, proton therapy, and heavy ion therapy. Furthermore, we examine the challenges and breakthroughs associated with the clinical translation of radiopharmaceuticals and provide recommendations for the research and development of novel radionuclide drugs.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute infectious respiratory disease that has been prevalent since December 2019. Chinese medicine (CM) has demonstrated its unique advantages in the fight against COVID-19 in the areas of disease prevention, improvement of clinical symptoms, and control of disease progression. This review summarized the relevant material components of CM in the treatment of COVID-19 by searching the relevant literature and reports on CM in the treatment of COVID-19 and combining with the physiological and pathological characteristics of the novel coronavirus. On the basis of sorting out experimental methods in vivo and in vitro, the mechanism of herb action was further clarified in terms of inhibiting virus invasion and replication and improving related complications. The aim of the article is to explore the strengths and characteristics of CM in the treatment of COVID-19, and to provide a basis for the research and scientific, standardized treatment of COVID-19 with CM.

Objective To establish the rapid discriminate analysis and quantitative analysis methods for carbonized Typhae Pollen(CTP)using near infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics.Methods A total of 186 batches of CTP samples were prepared and categorized into three group including light degree CTP,moderate CTP,and heavy degree CTP.The NIR spectra of these samples were characterized.Then partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA),k-nearest neighbors(KNN),support vector machine(SVM)algorithms were separately applied to build the discriminant models.The performance of discriminant models was evaluated in terms of the accuracy(ACC)and the error rate(ER).The partial least squares algorithm was used to establish the quantitative model for the prediction of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid,3-hydroxybenzoic acid,4-hydroxybenzoic acid,azelaic acid,quercetin,quercetin-3-(2G-rhamnosylrutinoside),kaempferol,kaempferol-3-(2G-rhamnosylrutinoside),isorhamnetin,typhaneoside,isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidin,and naringenin of CTP samples.The correlation coefficients(rcal,rpre),the root mean square error of calibration(RMSEC),the root mean square error of prediction(RMSEP),and the ratio of performance deviation(RPD)were calculated to assess the PLS model.Results Compared with PLS-DA and KNN models,the SVM model yielded the best classification.The ACC of SVM model was 90.08％for calibration set and 93.44％for prediction set,while the ER was 9.08％for calibration set and 5.31 for prediction set.The values of rcal and r for PLS models were greater than 0.9,and the RPD of that was greater than 2.3.Conclusion In this study,the NIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics was firstly applied to develop the rapid discriminant analysis and quantitative analysis methods for CTP.The NIR-based method is rapid,non-destructive,and accurate,and it provides the scientific basis and method support for the rapid judgment of the processing degree of CTP and analysis of the changes of chemical components to ensure the quality of CTP.
