"I would like to commend the authors for an exceptionally comprehensive and timely review on strategies to optimize mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy for tendon-bone healing. I found the sections on MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs)/exosomes particularly insightful. The manuscript effectively highlights the advantages of EV-based, cell-free therapies, including lower immunogenicity, reduced tumorigenic risk, and the ability to mediate paracrine effects similar to parent MSCs, positioning them as a promising modality for tendon-bone regeneration. The discussion of strategies to enhance EV efficacy, such as preconditioning of parent MSCs (hypoxia, LIPUS, magnetic stimulation, and pharmacological agents) and engineering delivery platforms (endogenous/exogenous loading, surface modifications for targeted delivery), is highly relevant for translational applications. I especially appreciated the emphasis on exosome-mediated modulation of macrophage polarization, promotion of angiogenesis, and enhancement of osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation, which highlights their mechanistic versatility. While the manuscript provides excellent mechanistic insight and preclinical evidence, a brief discussion on challenges in EV translation—such as scalable production, stability, standardization of dosing, and regulatory considerations—could further strengthen the practical relevance. Nonetheless, this focused review of MSC-derived EVs significantly contributes to the field by showcasing both the potential and current hurdles of cell-free therapies for tendon-bone healing."

"The ethical approval provided by the author meet the requirements. This report provided a rare case report, with educational significance. Of “It is a safe and reliable approach for OT treatment, which offers the advantages of minimal trauma, mild postoperative pain, and rapid recovery for stylistic precision”. It’s not adequate in this section. Of “Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT plays a crucial role in diagnosing OT, and laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective diagnostic and therapeutic approach” in the conclusion. It’s not adequate to address “and laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective diagnostic and therapeutic approach” in the “Conclusion”. Structure of relative description was not adequate. Discussion needs not involve much about other aspects of omental torsion other than imaging diagnosis, it should focus on imaging diagnosis and differential diagnosis, especially contrast-enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Compared to CT, contrast-enhanced CT has higher sensitivity and specificity in the visualization of the omental vascular running and contrast perfusion, and has better ability to determine whether there is ischemia and associate secondary change. “whirlpool sign” is unique for the diagnosis of omental torsion. Duplex ultrasound can find “whirlpool sign” and loss of color signal of vascualrity in some cases of omental torsion. It should be addressed that color Doppler flow imaging is usually not able to detect blood vessels in the great omentum. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound can find defect of vascular perfusion in the region of the great omentum with necrosis, while there was discussion on this technique. It should be addressed that “whirlpool sign” can only be detected in part cases of omental torsion. Ovary torsion has “whirlpool sign” and abdominal emergency, and differential diagnosis is required. The report was written in English awkwardly, not meeting native English and standardized professional expression. Of Figure 1. There were no arrows to indicate “whirlpool sign” of omental torsion. Of “(hematoxylin and eosin, × 50)” in Figure 4. “× 50” does not follow routine practice, and it may be mistaken. " [Collapse]

"This is very interesting paper about the relationship between IBD and Alzheimer’s. Recent studies suggest that patients with IBD ( UC and chronic ) have a significantly higher about 2.5 times risk of developing dementia,including Alzheimer’s disease and are diagnosed at a younger age. This association may be due to the intestinal inflammation caused by IBD, disruption of intestinal flora and dysfunction of the gut-brain axis sharing a common pathway with the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease (such as amyloid beta accumulation),and it is possible that improving the intestinal environment may lead to the prevention of dementia."

"This study clearly highlights the importance and contribution of AI in the diagnosis of rectal neuroendocrine tumors in daily clinical practice. It is known that rectal endocrine tumors present significant diagnostic difficulties because they are often considered as hyperplastic polyps and are either not removed and therefore not subjected to histological evaluation, or are removed as normal polyps. The consequence is that diagnosis is delayed or requires subsequent complementary imaging and/or endoscopic examination. The authors developed an image analysis and detection model for rectal neuroendocrine tumors using the YOLOv7 algorithm. This algorithm demonstrated significant diagnostic accuracy, exceeding that of most endoscopes with which it was compared. It has been repeatedly emphasized that AI is expected to revolutionize the diagnosis of many gastrointestinal diseases, including rectal endocrine tumors. We experience this to a large extent in daily clinical practice. However, it should be emphasized that the effectiveness of this system in detecting neuroendocrine rectal tumors should be investigated and evaluated in future large, multicenter studies."

"These findings illuminate the pivotal role of YY1 in driving the progression of Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric carcinogenesis through the activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). From a molecular vantage point, this study stands as a compelling testament to rigorous scientific inquiry, underpinned by a wealth of robust experimental evidence that substantiates its central claims. Here I only offer a suggestion and reference. In fact, cancer is a complex pathological ecosystem rather than a simple genetic disease. However, the current mainstream research perspective is greatly influenced by the "somatic mutation" theory, often believing that genes and molecules are the ultimate essence of cancer. However, such a linear reductionist view has not brought about fundamental improvements in prognosis in clinical practice, such as in targeted therapy. I believe that in the post-genomic era, we should think more about the occurrence and development of cancer from the perspectives of ecology and evolution rather than being confined to the molecular level. As I pointed out in the "Rethinking Cancer" column for the 110th anniversary of the Chinese Medical Association (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40443342/), the key to understanding such a complex systemic disease as tumors does not lie in the relentless pursuit of genes and molecules. It can be said that the role and function (promoting or inhibiting cancer, driver, passenger or neutral) of a single gene mutation in cancer cells depend on the environment and ecological niche in which they are located. By the way, I kindly recommend the authors and your team explore the book "Rethinking Cancer" (Strauss B. et al., 2021), which is also available in Chinese version (2024, Tsinghua University Press). This book might offer a refreshing and insightful perspective on human cancers, which could help guide future research and practice and better assist in improving patient prognosis." [Collapse]

"The study excels by integrating radiomics and body composition metrics from both pretreatment and follow‑up T12‑level CT scans, demonstrating that combining these imaging biomarkers with clinical data markedly improves the accuracy of survival prediction in esophageal cancer. It also stands out for using automated segmentation tools to eliminate manual variability, rigorously comparing multiple machine‑learning models, and showing that follow‑up imaging adds substantial prognostic value. Overall, the research provides a practical, non‑invasive, and clinically applicable framework that enhances personalized risk stratification when traditional L3‑level imaging is unavailable."

"The study evaluated a WeChat‑based bowel preparation monitoring system for outpatients undergoing colonoscopy and found that, compared with traditional oral and written education, the digital system significantly reduced patients’ anxiety and depression, improved bowel cleanliness, enhanced key colonoscopy quality indicators such as cecal intubation rate and polyp detection rate, increased patient compliance with dietary and medication instructions, and lowered the incidence of adverse reactions, demonstrating that real‑time, interactive, and personalized guidance can meaningfully improve the overall effectiveness and safety of colonoscopy preparation."
