Background: Until recently, combined heart-liver-kidney transplantation was considered too complex or too high-risk an option for patients with end-stage heart failure who present with advanced liver and kidney failure as well.
Aims: The objective of this paper is to present our institution's best practices for successfully executing this highly challenging operation. At our institution, referral patterns are most often initiated through the cardiac team.
Results: Determinants of successful outcomes include diligent multidisciplinary patient selection, detailed perioperative planning, and choreographed care transition and coordination among all transplant teams. The surgery proceeds in three distinct phases with three different teams, linked seamlessly in planned handoffs. The selection and perioperative care are executed with determined collaboration of all of the invested care teams.
Conclusions: Combined heart-liver-kidney transplantation can be successfully done by careful selection, coordination, and execution.

Objective: To investigate and assess hemolytic transfusion reaction in patient with complex and combined anti-Fy and anti-Jk which so as to provide a safety blood transfusion strategy.
Methods: ABO/Rh blood grouping, antibody screening and identification, and Coombs' tests were performed by the routine serological methods include manual tube and automatic blood group analyzer with matching micro-column gel cards from Diagnostic Grifols and Jiangsu LIBO. The hospital information system and laboratory information system were used to collect dada on patients' blood routine tests, liver and kidney function, coagulation, cardiac function, and other clinical indicators before and after blood transfusion were analyzed and compared in conjunction with the patients' clinical manifestations.

Article Synopsis
- This study developed a method using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to analyze five key components in rat tissues after administering two different treatments, Shuganning Injection and Scutellariae Radix extract.
- Researchers observed how the concentrations of these components changed over time in various organs, focusing on differences in distribution and effects when Scutellariae Radix was used alone or with other drugs.
- Results showed that the five compounds were widely distributed across multiple organs, with significant differences in concentration, particularly indicating that the combination treatment led to higher levels of certain components in the heart, liver, kidney, and lung compared to using Scutellariae Radix extract alone.

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on a serious cancer called malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and aimed to create a model to predict how long patients would likely survive after treatment.
- Researchers looked at data from 60 patients who received radiation therapy and analyzed how different factors, like their health and treatment methods, affected survival.
- The results showed that some medical and treatment details could help predict survival chances, and both machine learning methods used in the study worked well to make these predictions.
Spatially Resolved Metabolomics Method for Mapping the Global Molecular Landscape of Whole-Body Zebrafish () Using Ambient Mass Spectrometry Imaging.

Zebrafish () represent an effective model biological material for human disease research, even for personalized precision medicine. Thus, it is necessary to fully characterize their molecular information in order to obtain a global metabolic profile. Here, a spatially resolved metabolomics method for whole-body zebrafish analysis was established based on an air-flow-assisted desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (AFADESI-MSI) system.
