The complete mitochondrial genomes of 76 species from 43 genera under Cyprinidae were collected to reassess the molecular phylogeny of Opsariichthyinae Liao et al. 2011. The mitogenomes of three species, , and , were newly sequenced. Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed based on 13 concatenated multiple protein-coding genes with two ribosomal RNA genes. The concatenated dataset provided a new perspective on systematics and relationships. Tree topologies show that a monophyletic group containing , , , , and should belong to the group. In addition, the present results also strongly support that and should be regarded as distinct genera within the group. , , , and form a monophyletic group within Xenocyprididae, distinct from the group. Furthermore, is nested with four species of , a genus of ex-Cultrinae in Xenocyprididae. In addition, two major types of distinct stripes - longitudinal and vertical - were observed among species of the group and were highly correlated with molecular phylogenetic relationships. Such types of vertical and longitudinal stripes presented in the group might have originated in an ancestor species, after which distinct vertical stripes might have been lost among these cyprinids but retained in the group.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients, with approximately 5% requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This study investigated the relationship between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and 28- and 90-day mortality in critically ill AKI patients treated with CRRT.
Methods: This secondary analysis of a bicenter, retrospective, observational study included patients with AKI who were treated with CRRT from January 2009 to September 2016.

Background And Aim: Qualitative diagnosis of ulcerative colitis-associated neoplasia (UCAN) is crucial for surveillance colonoscopy in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Although the utility of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) in sporadic neoplasia diagnosis has been reported, its efficacy in UCAN remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of ME-NBI for qualitative diagnosis of UCAN.

Objective: This retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate and compare different postoperative pain management strategies for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), in order to provide scientific evidence for clinical practice and decision-making.
Methods: A total of 274 ESCC patients who underwent surgery at the Affiliated Huai'an No. 1 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were included in the study.

Background: Archetypes are representations of a group of people with shared behaviors, attitudes, and characteristics. The design and use of archetypes have potential application to increase partnership and support when embedding and scaling interventions but methodological approaches have not been developed.
Objective: To describe the methodology of designing archetypes for use in a pragmatic trial of advance care planning in the primary care context, SHARING Choices ((NCT04819191).

Background: Sow longevity and reproductivity are essential in the modern swine industry. Although many studies have focused on the genetic and genomic factors for selection, little is known about the associations between the microbiome and sows with longevity in reproduction.
Results: In this study, we collected and sequenced rectal and vaginal swabs from 48 sows, nine of which completed up to four parities (U4P group), exhibiting reproductive longevity.
