Neonatal broncho-pulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic lung disease in premature infants, with a complex pathogenesis and limited treatment options, severely affecting health. In recent years, targeted autophagy and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) have received attention as potential therapeutic approaches. Autophagy is crucial in the development of BPD, as it can improve pathological processes such as alveolarization disorders, abnormal pulmonary vascular development, and inflammatory responses through targeted regulation, and enhance the pulmonary microenvironment. Meanwhile, MSC is considered to have promising applications in promoting lung development and repair due to immune regulatory properties and paracrine functions. This article reviews the mechanisms and synergistic effects of targeted autophagy and MSC therapy for BPD, providing a theoretical basis for optimizing clinical treatment strategies for BPD and improving the quality of life of premature infants.
Objective To explore the risk factors of premature infants death. Methods The medical records of hospitalized premature infants admitted to West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2015 and December 2022 were collected. Premature infants were divided into the death group and the non-death group (control group) based on discharge diagnosis of death. Parturient and premature infants related information were collected, and the disease classification and diagnosis of premature infants were analyzed. Results A total of 13 739 premature infants were included, with 53 deaths and a mortality rate of 3.85‰ (53/13 739). The ages of death were 1-49 days, and the median age of death was (9.68±9.35) days. According to the matching method, 212 premature infants were ultimately included. Among them, there were 53 premature infants in the death group and 159 premature infants in the control group. Compared with the control group, premature infants in the death group had lower gestational age, birth weight, lower 1-minute Apgar scores, lower 5-minute Apgar scores and shorter hospital stay (P<0.05), and received more delivery interventions (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in other indicators between the two groups of premature infants (P>0.05). A total of 212 parturient were included. Among them, there were 53 parturients in the death group and 159 parturients in the control group. The use rate of prenatal corticosteroids in the control group was higher than that in the death group (55.35% vs. 54.72%). There was no statistically significant difference in other related factors between the two groups of parturient (P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that longer hospital stay [odds ratio (OR)=0.891, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.842, 0.943), P<0.001], prenatal use of corticosteroids [OR=0.255, 95%CI (0.104, 0.628), P=0.003] reduced the risk of premature infant death. However, tracheal intubation [OR=10.738, 95%CI (2.893, 39.833), P<0.001] increased the risk of premature infant death. Conclusions Clinicians should pay attention to prenatal examination of newborns and pay attention to evaluation of newborn status. Obstetricians and neonatologists should make joint plans for women with high risk factors for preterm delivery. During the hospitalization, after the diagnosis is clear, standardized treatment should be carried out in strict accordance with the guidelines for systemic diseases and expert consensus.

Objective
To explore the characteristics of cognitive impairment in patients with alcohol dependence, and analyze the related influencing factors.
Methods
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) was used to evaluate the cognitive function of 65 alcohol dependent patients hospitalized between January 1st and December 31st, 2014. The features of cognitive impairment and related influencing factors were analyzed.
Results
The differences of MoCA attention and delayed recall between different drinking year groups had statistical significance (P<0.05). The correlations of drinking year with MoCA attention (r=–0.250,P=0.044), and with delayed recall (r=–0.326,P=0.008) were both negative. MoCA scores, naming, attention and delayed recall were different statistically among different age groups (P<0.05). The correlations of ages with MoCA scores (r=–0.429,P<0.001), naming (r=–0.261,P=0.035), attention (r=–0.391,P=0.001) and delayed recall (r=–0.461,P<0.001) were all negative. MoCA scores, the visuoconstructional skills, language, abstraction and delayed recall were significantly different among different education level groups (P<0.05). The correlations of education level with MoCA scores (rs=0.650,P<0.001), the visuoconstructional skills (rs=0.540,P<0.001), language (rs=0.486,P<0.001), abstraction (r=0.602,P<0.001) and delayed recall (rs=0.593,P<0.001) were all positive. Ages had an effect on MoCA scores by multiple linear regression analysis (P<0.01).
Conclusions
For alcohol dependent patients with cognitive impairment, cognitive function is correlated with drinking year, age and education level. The cognitive function is much serious in patients with older age and longer drinking years. This kind of patients should be focused on and intervened early.

Reliable and stable animal models and in vitro models play an important role in the development and prevention of AKI. Focusing on rodent models and in vitro models, this review summarizes AKI models induced by ischemia, nephrotoxic drugs and urinary tract obstruction from three levels of prerenal, intrinsic renal and postrenal AKI.
ObjectiveTo investige the effects of multidisciplinary perioperative nutrition management on nutrition and postoperative complications of patients with esophageal cancer.MethodsA total of 239 patients with esophageal cancer who received elective surgical treatment were included in the study. They were divided into a trial group (120 patients) and a control group (119 patients) according to the random number table method. There were 97 males and 23 females in the trial group with an average age of 63.78±9.13 years, and 94 males and 25 females in the control group with an average age of 64.12±7.91 years. The control group received routine diet management, and the trial group received multidisciplinary perioperative nutrition management. The differences of nutrition and postoperative complications between the two groups were compared.ResultsThe total protein and albumin levels on postoperative days 3 and 7 in the trial group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), patients' postoperative anal exhaust time was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05), the incidence of postoperative gastrointestinal adverse reactions, lung infection, postoperative anastomotic fistula, hypoproteinemia on postoperative days 3 and 7 was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and hospitalization cost was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionMultidisciplinary nutrition management can effectively improve the nutrition of patients, promote the rapid recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function, reduce postoperative complications, and reduce hospitalization costs. It has high clinical reference and promotion value.
The objective of this study is to map the global scientific competitive landscape in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) medical devices using scientific data. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection to examine global research trends in AI-based medical devices. As of the end of 2023, a total of 55 147 relevant publications were identified worldwide, with 76.6% published between 2018 and 2024. Research in this field has primarily focused on AI-assisted medical image and physiological signal analysis. At the national level, China (17 991 publications) and the United States (14 032 publications) lead in output. China has shown a rapid increase in publication volume, with its 2023 output exceeding twice that of the U.S.; however, the U.S. maintains a higher average citation per paper (China: 16.29; U.S.: 35.99). At the institutional level, seven Chinese institutions and three U.S. institutions rank among the global top ten in terms of publication volume. At the researcher level, prominent contributors include Acharya U Rajendra, Rueckert Daniel and Tian Jie, who have extensively explored AI-assisted medical imaging. Some researchers have specialized in specific imaging applications, such as Yang Xiaofeng (AI-assisted precision radiotherapy for tumors) and Shen Dinggang (brain imaging analysis). Others, including Gao Xiaorong and Ming Dong, focus on AI-assisted physiological signal analysis. The results confirm the rapid global development of AI in the medical device field, with “AI + imaging” emerging as the most mature direction. China and the U.S. maintain absolute leadership in this area—China slightly leads in publication volume, while the U.S., having started earlier, demonstrates higher research quality. Both countries host a large number of active research teams in this domain.
