This paper systematically summarizes the practical experience of the 2025 Dingri earthquake emergency medical rescue in Tibet. It analyzes the requirements for earthquake medical rescue under conditions of high-altitude hypoxia, low temperature, and low air pressure. The paper provides a detailed discussion on the strategic layout of earthquake medical rescue at the national level, local government level, and through social participation. It covers the construction of rescue organizational systems, technical systems, material support systems, and information systems. The importance of building rescue teams is emphasized. In high-altitude and cold conditions, rapid response, scientific decision-making, and multi-party collaboration are identified as key elements to enhance rescue efficiency. By optimizing rescue organizational structures, strengthening the development of new equipment, and promoting telemedicine technologies, the precision and effectiveness of medical rescue can be significantly improved, providing important references for future similar disaster rescues.

Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphism of resistin(RETN)gene and metabolic associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients in middle and high altitude areas.Methods A total of 400 patients with T2DM in Qinghai area were recruited and divided into simple T2DM group(T2DM,n=200)and T2DM combined with MAFLD group(T2DM+ MAFLD,n=200)according to liver ultrasonography.Healthy individuals confirmed by physical examination were selected as the normal control group(NC,n=180).Plasma resistin levels were measured by ELISA.The polymorphism of RETN-420C/G and +299G/A genes were detected by PCR sequencing.Results By comparing the polymorphism of RETN-420C/G gene in each group,it was found that the frequencies of G/G genotype and G allele frequency in T2DM+MAFLD group were higher than those in NC group and T2DM group(P<0.05),while the frequencies of C/C genotype and C allele frequency were lower than those in NC group and T2DM group(P<0.05).The risk of MAFLD increased by 1.571,2.126 and 1.537 times respectively in T2DM patients with C/G,G/G genotype and G allele.Logistic regression analysis showed that G/G genotype was a risk factor for MAFLD in T2DM patients.By comparing the polymorphism of RETN+299G/A gene in each group,it was found that A allele frequency in T2DM+MAFLD group was higher than that in NC group and T2DM group,while G allele frequency was lower than that in NC group and T2DM group(P<0.05).The allele A increased the risk of MAFLD in T2DM patients by 1.432 times compared to allele G.Conclusion RETN gene-420C/G locus G/G genotype increases the risk of T2DM combined with MAFLD in middle and high altitudeareas.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of echinacoside （ECH） in improving liver injury in rats with acute pancreatitis by establishing a rat model of acute pancreatitis and liver injury. MethodsA total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank group （Con group）， control group （Con+ECH group）， acute pancreatitis group （AP group）， and acute pancreatitis+ECH intervention （AP+ECH group）. The rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg ECH on day 7 before the establishment of the model of acute pancreatitis； at 24 hours after the last administration of cerulein， blood samples were collected via the abdominal aorta， and serum was separated for biochemical analysis including alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase （GGT）， alkaline phosphatase （ALP）， albumin （Alb）， total bilirubin （TBil）， cholinesterase， blood amylase （Amy）， and lipase （LPS）. HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the pancreas and the liver； transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was used to observe the microstructural changes of pancreas and liver tissue； ELISA was used to measure the levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-16 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and interleukin-10 （IL-10） in liver tissue homogenate； immunohistochemistry was used to measure the levels of TNF-α and p-p65 NF-κB in pancreas and liver tissue； Western blot was used to measure the expression levels of NF-κB pathway proteins in liver tissue. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the SNK test or the Dunnett’s T3 method was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the Con group， the AP group had significant increases in ALT， AST， GGT， LDH， ALP， TBil， Amy， and LPS （all P<0.01）， as well as significant increases in the levels of IL-1β， IL-6， IL-10， and TNF-α in liver tissue homogenate （all P<0.01）. ECH intervention reduced the levels of ALT， AST， GGT， LDH， ALP， TBil， AMY， and LPS and inhibited the secretion of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in rats with acute pancreatitis. HE staining showed that ECH intervention alleviated the vacuolar degeneration of acinar cells， inflammatory cell infiltration in pancreatic tissue， and the necrosis of hepatocytes compared with the AP group. TEM showed that compared with the AP group， there was a reduction in the degree of mitochondrial swelling in liver and pancreatic cells after ECH intervention. ECH intervention partially reversed the elevated expression levels of p-p65 NF-κB and TNF-α in liver and pancreatic tissue. In addition， the expression levels of MyD88， p-IκBα， p-IKKα， and p-p65 were upregulated in liver tissue of rats with acute pancreatitis， which could be partially reversed after ECH intervention. ConclusionEchinacoside can alleviate liver and pancreatic injury induced by acute pancreatitis by inhibiting the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.

Objective To summarize the imaging findings of intracranial central nervous system(CNS)malformations children in the high-altitude plateau(Xigaze city).Methods We retrospectively reviewed the imaging data of the suspected patients having CNS malformations,which enrolled either by the clinic or by the ultrasound in the Shigatse People's hospital from June,2019 to June,2023.All imaging data were interpreted by two experienced radiologists with consensus reading.Imaging characteristics were recorded roughly by primary/secondary,supra-/subtentorial malformation type and the corresponding clinical symptoms.Results A total of 36 children were included in this study,including 19 patients≤1 year old(including 2 newborns),7 patients between 1 and 3 years old,and 10 patients>3 years old.Seven cases underwent MRI examination,others having CT scan.Polygyria and pachygyria malformation were the most common type of congenital neurological malformations(7 cases,31.8%),followed by cystic changes of the cerebral parenchyma(3 cases,13.6%).Cerebral atrophy was the most common type of secondary CNS abnormalities group(8 cases,57.1%),followed by communicative hydrocephalus(3 cases,21.4%).Five patients in the congenital group and 4 patients in the secondary CNS group had the complex malformations.There were 8 dead cases(all in the≤1-year-old group),12 cases having neurological sequelae,1 case with normal development and 15 cases with loss of follow-up.There were no significant differences between primary and secondary CNS group regarding the final outcome.Conclusion In this study,gyrus developmental malformation and encephalatrophy were the most common etiologies in infants'CNS malformations.Reasonable use of imaging modalities will help depict the complicated CNS malformations and design individual treatment.

This study investigated the role of Echinococcus multilocularis vesicle-derived extracellular vesicles(EVs)con-taining emu-miR-10-5p in regulating HSC activation in vitro.Mice were injected intraperitoneally with protoscoleces to con-struct a secondary alveolar echinococcosis model,and E.multilocularis vesicles were cultured in mice and identified by PCR.The EV structure in cultured vesicle tissue was observed by transmission electron microscopy.EVs were isolated from vesicle culture supernatants through differential-ultracentrifugation,and identified by transmission electron microscopy,nanoparticle size analysis,and western blotting.The activity of HSCs treated with different EV concentrations was detected with CCK-8 assays.The expression levels of α-SMA,and collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ were detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting after EV treatment of HSCs.Bioinformatics analysis identified the specific miRNA emu-miR-10-5p.The proliferation of HSCs was detected with EdU after overexpression of emu-miR-10-5p,and the expression levels of α-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,and collagen Ⅲ in cells were detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting.Detection of α-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,and collagen Ⅲ expression levels in HSCs was performed after EVs were extracted from the culture supernatant of vesicular tissues with emu-miR-10-5p knockdown.E.multilocularis vesicles were successfully cultured from focal material in mice,and the E.multilocularis origin was confirmed through PCR amplification of specific genes.TEM observation of culture vesicles in-dicated abundant surface vesicular structures.E.multilocularis vesicle-derived EVs were isolated by differential-ultracentrifu-gation,and confirmed by TEM to be spherical and membrane like-structures.Vesicle-derived EVs were internalized by HSCs,and promoted the proliferation and activation of HSCs.Comprehensive analysis of miRNA sequencing results revealed emu-miR-10-5p expression in E.multilocularis-infected mouse serum,metacestode tissue,E.multilocularis-derived EVs,germi-nal layer cells,and protoscoleces.Moreover emu-miR-10-5p was confirmed to be present in higher amounts in E.multilocu-laris-derived EVs,according to RT-qPCR.Further studies confirmed that overexpression of emu-miR-10-5p promoted HSC proliferation and increased α-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,and collagen Ⅲ mRNA and protein expression levels in HSCs.In contrast,EVs extracted from culture supernatants after emu-miR-10-5p knockdown in vesicles did not increase a-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,and colla-gen Ⅲ mRNA and protein expression levels.E.multilocularis vesicle-derived EVs and emu-miR-10-5p thus promote the acti-vation of HSCs.

Objective:To observe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the treatment of eyes with macular edema (ME) secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in Lhasa, Tibet.Methods:A retrospective case series. From September 2018 to January 2022, a total of 41 patients (41 eyes) with BRVO-ME, who were diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology of Tibet Autonomous Region People’s Hospital, were included in this study. There were 21 eyes in 21 males and 20 eyes in 20 females. The median age was 53 (31,75) years. There were 24 patients with hypertension (58.8%, 24/41). Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), ocular pressure, fundus color photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed in all eyes. The BCVA was performed using the international standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) BCVA for record. The foveal macular thickness (CMT) was measured by OCT. All eyes were treated with intravitreous injection of anti-VEGF drugs, once a month, among which 23 eyes (56.1%, 23/41) received intravitreous injection of ranibizumab (IVR), and 18 eyes (43.9%, 18/41) received intravitreous injection of conbercept (IVC), and were grouped accordingly. There was no significant difference in age ( Z=-0.447), gender composition ( Z=-0.485), logMAR BCVA ( t=-1.591), intraocular pressure ( t=-0.167) and CMT ( t=-1.290) between two groups ( P>0.05). During the follow-up, the same devices and methods were used at baseline to perform relevant examinations, and the changes of BCVA, intraocular pressure, CMT and new cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events were compared between baseline and the last follow-up. logMAR BCVA, intraocular pressure and CMT were compared between baseline and last follow-up using Student t test. The comparison of injection times and follow-up time between IVR group and IVC group was conducted by Mann-Whitney U test. Results:At baseline, logMAR BCVA, intraocular pressure, and CMT were 0.852±0.431, (12.5±2.5) mm Hg (1 mm Hg= 0.133 kPa), and (578.1±191.1) μm, respectively. At the last follow-up, the number of anti-VEGF drug treatments was (2.7±1.2) times; logMAR BCVA and CMT were 0.488±0.366 and (207.4±108.7) μm, respectively, with CMT > 250 μm in 14 eyes (34.1%, 14/41). Compared with baseline, BCVA ( t=4.129) and CMT ( t=-0.713) were significantly improved, with statistical significance ( P<0.001). The injection times of IVR group and IVC group were (2.6±0.9) and (3.0±1.5) times, respectively. There were no significant differences in the number of injection times ( t=-1.275), logMAR BCVA ( t=-0.492), intraocular pressure ( t=0.351) and CMT ( t=-1.783) between the two groups ( P>0.05). No new hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events occurred in all patients during follow-up. At the last follow-up, there were no eye complications related to treatment modalities and drugs. Conclusion:Short-term anti-VEGF treatment can improve the visual acuity of BRVO secondary ME patients and alleviate ME in Lhasa, Tibet. The safety and efficacy of ranibizumab and conbercept were similar.

To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in Motuo County from 2012 to 2021 and provide evidence for the prevention and control of PTB. A total of 223 cases of PTB were reported from 2012 to 2021 in Motuo County, with an average annual reported incidence rate of 171.39/100 000. Joinpoint regression model analysis showed that the average decline rate was 9.2% (P<0.001) from 2012 to 2021. Among the various types of PTB patients reported from 2012 to 2021, there were 69 cases of etiologic-positive cases which increased from 28.57% to 52.63%. Results from the circular distribution methods showed that there was no obvious peak time of PTB in Motuo County. There was no statistical difference in the average annual incidence of PTB between different genders (χ²=0.108, P=0.743). Among all age groups, the 20-29 years group had the highest proportion (26.91%, 60/223). The Monpa ethnic group (153 cases, 68.61%) had the largest number of cases, followed by the Lhoba people (44 cases, 19.73%) and the Tibetan (22 cases, 9.87%). Farmers (168 cases, 75.34%) had the highest occupational composition ratio, followed by students (40 cases, 17.94%). The main detection methods of PTB were clinical consultation and transferring consultation. Overall, the incidence rate of PTB decreased from 2012 to 2021. The majority of PTB patients were young adults with high transmission risk. It is necessary to pay more attention to the key populations and strengthen the comprehensive prevention and control for reducing the risk of PTB.

OBJECTIVE To establish and apply a method for simultaneous determination of the contents of dicentrine， protopine and coptisine in Tibetan Corydalis pallida of different origins， and to provide reference for origin determination and quality control of the kind of medicinal materials. METHODS Ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry method was used. The determination was performed on Agilent EC-C18 column （100 mm×2.1 mm， 2.7 μm） with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid by gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.2 mL/min， and the column temperature was set at 35 ℃ . MS detection was carried out by electrospray ionization in positive modes， multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantitative analysis. RESULTS The injection mass concentrations of dicentrine， protopine， coptisine ranged from 5.88 to 117.60， 53.70 to 1 074.00， and 4.85 to 97.00 ng/mL， respectively， showing a good linear relationship with their respective peak areas （r＝0.998 2， 0.991 9， and 0.999 6， respectively）. The limits of quantitation were 2.35， 1.07 and 1.46 ng/mL； the limits of detection were 1.17， 0.54， 0.49 ng/mL， respectively. RSDs of precision， stability （24 h） and repeatability tests were all lower than 2.0％. The average recovery rates were 97.41%， 98.89% and 105.44%（ all RSDs＜5.0％， n＝6）. CONCLUSIONS The established method has good selectivity and high accuracy， and is suitable for the rapid analysis of dicentrine， protopine and coptisine in Corydalis. The total contents of three alkaloids in different original medicinal materials are from high to low in order of C. chrysosphaera， C. mucronifera， C. pygmaea， C. hendersonii and C. conspersa. The alkaloid contents in C. chrysosphaera and C. mucronifera are relatively similar， but no dicentrine has been detected in C. conspersa and C. hendersonii.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The clinicopathological data of 152 DLBCL patients receiving consultation and routine physical examination in Peking University Third Hospital and Peking University School of Basic Medicine from January 2008 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of CD10, bcl-6, MUM1, GCET1, FOXP1. EB virus encoded small RNA (EBV-EBER) was detected by using in situ hybridization. The aberrations of bcl-2, bcl-6 and c-myc genes were detected by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to screen double-hit lymphoma (DHL). Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis.Results:Among 152 cases of DLBCL, the ratio of male to female was 1.49:1, the median age of onset was 59 years (7-90 years), and 79 cases (52.0%) were primary lymph nodes. The median overall survival (OS) time of all cases was 16 months (1-101 months). The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 70.2%, 44.7%, 30.3%, respectively. The OS of R-CHOP treatment group was better than that of CHOP treatment group and untreated group ( P = 0.001). Among all 137 patients receiving double-hit histochemistry score (DHS), there were 56 cases with 0 score, 57 cases with 1 score, 24 cases with 2 scores; and the difference in the OS of different DHS score groups ( P = 0.311). FISH detection showed that among 29 cases achieving results of c-myc gene detection, there were 2 cases of splitting gene and 3 cases of gene amplification; among 26 cases achieving results of bcl-2 gene detection, 2 cases had bcl-2 gene amplification; among 26 cases achieving results of bcl-6 gene detection, 2 cases had bcl-6 gene amplification and 3 cases had splitting gene. It was found that myc and bcl-2 genes were amplified simultaneously in 1 case, accompanied with bcl-6 gene splitting, which was called triple-hit lymphoma. In DHS 0-score group, 1 case of double gene abnormality was found, and 1 case of single gene abnormality was found in group 1-score; in group 2-score, 5 cases were single gene abnormality and 1 case was three gene abnormality, so the gene abnormality was inconsistent with the protein expression. Conclusions:The incidence of DHL in DLBCL patients in China is low. The major gene abnormalities are c-myc or bcl-2, bcl-6 single gene abnormalities.
