low transit constipation （STC） is a common functional intestinal disorder caused by impaired colonic transit function， characterized by reduced bowel movement frequency， hard stools， and difficulty in defecation. The mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling pathway， which mainly includes extracellular signal-regulated kinase （ERK）， c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK）， and p38 subtypes， plays a critical regulatory role in the occurrence and development of STC. This paper systematically reviews the multiple pathogenic mechanisms of the MAPK signaling pathway in STC and the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） intervention.At the mechanistic level， the MAPK signaling pathway promotes the progression of STC through the following links：（1） Activation of p38 upregulates the expression of aquaporin 3 （AQP3）/AQP4 in the colon， leading to excessive reabsorption of water in the intestinal lumen； （2） It forms a positive feedback loop with nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） to maintain low-grade intestinal inflammation， releases inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and inhibits smooth muscle contraction； （3） Overactivation of p38 downregulates the expression of occludin and mucin 2 while upregulates the expression of claudin-2， thereby disrupting the mucosal barrier； （4） The JNK/p38 signaling pathway activates the caspase cascade to induce apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells， neurons， and interstitial cells of Cajal； （5） Abnormal ERK signaling and excessive activation of p38/JNK inhibit intestinal smooth muscle contraction and reduce 5-hydroxytryptamine secretion， ultimately resulting in impaired colonic transit function.At the intervention level， TCM compound formulas and single herbs have been proven to improve STC by regulating the MAPK signaling pathway. Their effects are syndrome type-dependent：yin-nourishing formulas （Zengye Chengqi Tang， Tongbian Tang） mainly regulate the ERK/AQP axis； yang-warming formulas （Jichuan Jian） target both ERK/JNK and anti-apoptosis； heat-clearing formulas （Sanren Tang） focus on p38/NF-κB anti-inflammation. A single drug can simultaneously cover multiple aspects including water metabolism， inflammation， barrier function， apoptosis， and intestinal motility.Current relevant studies still have limitations such as mechanisms mostly remaining at the correlational level and a lack of disease-syndrome integrated research models. Future studies should combine specific inhibitors or gene knockout to identify core targets， establish disease-syndrome integrated STC models， and use network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques to deeply analyze the fine mechanism of “component-target-phenotype”， so as to provide high-quality evidence for the precise regulation of the MAPK signaling pathway by TCM in the intervention of STC.

Centrosome amplification is a hallmark of malignant tumours and has been established as a critical carcinogenic factor driving the progression of various malignancies.This review systematically outlines the structural com-position and replication cycle of the centrosome,thoroughly analyses the specific manifestations of abnormal centrosome amplification in tumor cells,and explores the molecular mechanisms underlying centrosome amplification.Furthermore,this review highlights therapeutic strategies targeting abnormal centrosome expansion and their potential application in tu-mor intervention.In-depth investigations of centrosome amplification mechanisms and intervention pathways may offer novel insights for early cancer diagnosis and precision therapy.

Purpose To evaluate the value of preoperative MRI-based radiomic models for assessing tumor-infiltrating CD8+T-cell expression in glioblastoma patients,and to identify the most stable and efficient radiomic feature region for predicting prognosis following immunotherapy.Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 150 patients with histopathologically confirmed glioblastoma from Lanzhou University Second Hospital(January 2018 to April 2022).Tumor-infiltrating CD8+T-cell expression was quantitatively assessed using immunohistochemical staining,with patients stratified into CD8-high and CD8-low expression groups based on overall survival.A total of 1 185 radiomic features were extracted from each patient's contrast-enhanced T1C and T2WI images,covering the original tumor region and sequentially expanded peritumoral regions(2.5 mm,5.0 mm,7.5 mm,10.0 mm,12.5 mm,15.0 mm morphological dilation of tumor core+peritumoral area).Feature selection was performed using variance threshold,minimum redundancy maximum relevance,and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator methods.XGBoost classifier was employed to construct clinical,radiomic,and clinical-radiomic multimodal combined prediction models.Diagnostic performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.Results The radiomic model based on tumor expansion of 7.5 mm(tumor+peritumoral region)demonstrated optimal predictive performance.The clinical-radiomic multimodal combined model showed superior predictive capability compared to clinical and radiomic models alone,achieving an area under the curve of 0.991 and accuracy of 99.0%in the training set,and area under the curve of 0.840 with accuracy of 80.0%in the validation set.Conclusion MRI radiomics provides a feasible approach for evaluating tumor-infiltrating CD8+T-cell expression in glioblastoma patients,offering potential for preoperative prognosis prediction.

Objective Aimed at investigating the effect and molecular mechanism of artemisinin on hemo-dynamics and vascular remodeling in monocrotaline(MCT)-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH)rats.Methods 30 male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=10):control group,MCT-induced PAH group(MCT group,60 mg/kg)and artemisinin intervention group(50 mg/kg).At 28 days after modeling,the right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP),mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP),heart rate and right ventricular hypertrophy index(RVHI)were measured to evaluate the development of PAH.HE staining and α-SMA immuno-histochemistry were used to observe the morphology and assess muscularization of pulmonary arterioles,and the percentage of medial wall thickness(WT%),the percentage of vascular wall area(WA%)and the proportion of muscular vessels were calculated to evaluate the degree of pulmonary vascular remodeling.The mRNA and protein levels of HIF-1α and LDHA were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot,respectively.Pyruvate and lactate concentration in lung tissue was measured using pyruvate and lactateassay kit.Results Compared with the control group,the RVSP,mPAP,heart rate and RVHI were significantly increased in MCT-induced PAH rats(all P<0.05).Histological analysis showed that the increasedmedial wall thickness of small pulmonary arteries and vascular muscularization were observed in MCT-treated rats compared with control rats.WT%,WA%and muscularization degrees of pulmonary arterioles were higher in MCT-treated rats than those in the control group(all P<0.05),suggesting successful construction of PAH model.Compared with the MCT group,the RVSP,mPAP,heart rate and RVHI decreased in the rats treated with artemisinin(all P<0.05),accompanied with lower WT%and WA%(P<0.05),and muscularization of pulmonary arterioles was improved(P<0.05).Further study showed the mRNA and protein levels ofHIF-1α and LDHA in lung tissue of MCT-induced PAH rats were higher than those in the control group,the content of lactate and pyruvate and the ratio of lactate to pyruvate were higher than that in the control group(all P<0.05).However,the mRNA and protein levels of HIF-1α and LDHA in lung tissue of rats treated with artemisinin were lower than those in the MCT group,the content of lactate and pyruvate and the ratio of lactate to pyruvate were lower than that in the MCT group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Artemisinin improves hemodynamic and pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH rats through inhibiting HIF-1α/LDHA signaling pathway-mediated glycolysis.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure （ACLF） is a dangerous disease with severe conditions， rapid progression， and high short-term mortality. Intestinal flora and metabolites are closely associated with the development， progression， and pathogenesis of ACLF. During the development of ACLF， the destruction of intestinal integrity and the dysregulation of intestinal microecology and its metabolites mediate immune disturbance and thus aggravate systemic inflammatory response. This article elaborates on the role of intestinal flora and metabolites in the development and progression of ACLF and related therapeutic strategies.

Biomolecular condensates are formed through phase separation of biomacromolecules such as proteins and RNAs. These condensates exhibit liquid-like properties that can futher transition into more stable material states. They form complex internal structures via multivalent weak interactions, enabling precise spatiotemporal regulations. However, the use of inconsistent and non-standardized terminology has become increasingly problematic, hindering academic exchange and the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the terminology related to biomolecular condensates in order to clarify concepts, promote interdisciplinary cooperation, enhance research efficiency, and support the healthy development of this field.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To investigate alterations in the immune lineage of T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL) at the single-cell transcriptome level and to elucidate its pathogenic mechanisms.Methods:Peripheral blood samples were collected from 5 T-LGLL patients before and after treatment (from June 2019 to December 2020) and 3 healthy controls at the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, CAMS & PUMC. Single-cell transcriptome sequencing libraries were prepared and sequenced using 10× Genomics technology. Differentially expressed genes in immune cells were compared between patients and healthy donors, followed by pathway enrichment analyses.Results:Profiling 67,237 immune cells revealed that, in T-LGLL: 1) Effector CD8+ T cells exhibited increased numbers, enhanced cytotoxicity, and greater proliferative capacity. Following effective immunosuppressive therapy, both the proliferative capacity and effector functions of these cells significantly decreased ( P<0.05). 2) The proportion of regulatory T (Treg) cells was reduced, accompanied by increased apoptosis. After effective immunosuppressive therapy leading to remission, Treg cell proportions increased, and apoptotic pathways were downregulated ( P<0.05). 3) Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) showed enhanced functionality. Monocytes and dendritic cells were enriched in antigen synthesis and presentation pathways, while B cells displayed increased antigen-binding capacity and were enriched in pathways related to T-cell activation ( P<0.05). 4) Natural killer (NK) cells exhibited attenuated cytotoxic function but demonstrated an enhanced regulatory capacity over T cells ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:T-LGLL patients present a characteristic immunological profile marked by an imbalance in immune homeostasis. This profile includes abnormal activation and expansion of effector CD8 + T cells, and a reduction in Treg cell numbers accompanied by functional impairment. Furthermore, APCs and NK cells were found to positively regulate T-lymphocyte activation, differentiation, and proliferation.
