Chinese Medical Journal Article Review application of hydrogel technologies in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders
Chinese Medical Journals Publishing House Co., Ltd.
A recent review outlines major advances in hydrogel-based strategies for musculoskeletal therapy. Through refined material design and strengthened mechanical performance, hydrogels can mimic key extracellular matrix features while enabling localized and controlled delivery of drugs, cells, and other bioactive cues. They can also be engineered into clinically relevant formats, including injectable systems, scaffolds, patches, and adhesive sealants, supporting applications across bone and cartilage repair, osteoarthritis management, disc regeneration, tendon healing, and dural repair.

Multimodal fusion artificial intelligence models for pathological diagnosis in early cervical cancer screening
Xia & He Publishing Inc.
Cervical cancer is a major threat to women's health. Multimodal fusion AI models integrate cytological, histopathological, clinical, and molecular data, potentially improving detection sensitivity, grading accuracy, and screening efficiency. Traditional methods face limitations in subjectivity, efficiency, and primary care resources. This review details the technical architecture, fusion strategies (deep learning, attention mechanisms, cross‑modal alignment), clinical applications, and translational challenges of multimodal fusion AI models. With further refinement and validation, these models may become useful tools for improving cervical cancer screening and prevention.

Prognostic value of right ventricular late gadolinium enhancement in patients with acute myocarditis
Chinese Medical Journals Publishing House Co., Ltd.
The presence and location of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) could be valuable for risk evaluation in acute myocarditis. However, the predictive value of right ventricular LGE (RV LGE) remains unclear. 193 patients with acute myocarditis in China were enrolled and followed up for 3.6 ± 2.5 years. We revealed that RV LGE is an independent predictor of MACE in patients with acute myocarditis. RV LGE may be valuable for the risk stratification of acute myocarditis.

Remote signals may help preserve diabetic limbs
Burns & Trauma
A research team has synthesized evidence suggesting that diabetic foot disease may be treated not only at the wound itself, but also by activating neural, vascular, and immune responses elsewhere in the body.

Airborne DNA could aid biodiversity and biosecurity surveillance if three gaps are closed
Hiroshima UniversityAirborne genetic material could transform biodiversity and biosecurity monitoring, but researchers say major gaps in sampling, interpretation, and governance must be closed first before suitable technologies can be deployed.

circSMAD6 upregulation by Hnrnpa2b1-dependent m6A modification promotes aerobic glycolysis and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by regulating Mir-30d-3p/CNPY2 axis
Chinese Medical Journals Publishing House Co., Ltd.Our findings demonstrate that hnRNPA2B1-dependent m6A modification of circSMAD6 accelerates aerobic glycolysis and metastasis of HCC cells by regulating miR-30d-3p/CNPY2 axis, and may provide a potential therapeutic target for HCC.

Addressing the clinical challenge of repeated IVF–ET failure in women of advanced maternal age: Advantages of sequential phase-based traditional Chinese medicine therapy
China Association of Chinese Medicine, eTM
Repeated IVF-ET failure in women of advanced maternal age is a key and difficult issue in assisted reproduction. At present, the evidence base for many therapeutic approaches in this population remains relatively weak, and the appropriate patient populations for TCM intervention, the optimal timing of such interventions, and its positioning within the overall diagnostic and treatment framework still need to be further clarified. The value of this article lies in distilling a diagnostic and therapeutic approach centered on sequential phase-based TCM treatment and coordinated mind-body regulation.
