[Objective] To explore the strategy of blood management in patients with massive transfusion in the frigid plateau region. [Methods] The treatment process of a patient with liver rupture in the frigid plateau region was analyzed, and the blood management strategy of the frigid plateau region was discussed in combination with the difficulties of blood transfusion and literature review. [Results] The preoperative complete blood count (CBC) test results of the patient were as follows: RBC 3.14×10¹²/L, Hb 10⁶ g/L, HCT 30.40%, PLT 115.00×10⁹/L; coagulation function: PT 18.9 s, FiB 1.31 g/L, DD > 6 μg/mL, FDP 25.86 μg/mL; ultrasound examination and imaging manifestations suggested liver contusion and laceration / intraparenchymal hematoma, splenic contusion and laceration, and massive blood accumulation in the abdominal cavity; it was estimated that the patient's blood loss was ≥ 2 000 mL, and massive blood transfusion was required during the operation; red blood cell components were timely transfused during the operation, and the blood component transfusion was guided according to the patient's CBC and coagulation function test results, providing strong support and guarantee for the successful treatment of the patient. The patient recovered well after the operation, and the CBC test results were as follows: RBC 4.32×10¹²/L, Hb 144 g/L, HCT 39.50%, PLT 329.00×10⁹/L; coagulation function: APTT 29.3 s, PT 12.1 s, FiB 2.728 g/L, DD>6 μg/mL, FDP 25.86 μg/mL. The patient was discharged after 20 days, and regular follow-up reexamination showed no abnormal results. [Conclusion] Individualized blood management strategy should comprehensively consider the patient’s clinical symptoms, the degree of hemoglobin decline, dynamic coagulation test results and existing treatment conditions. Efficient and reasonable patient blood management strategies can effectively improve the clinical outcomes of massive transfusion patients in the frigid plateau region.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have the ability to sow tumors and can be found in the peripheral blood of patients with precancerous lesions and healthy people. However, CTCs are not currently screened in the donors blood. A large number of allogeneic blood transfusions occurred worldwide each year, and allogeneic blood transfusions expose recipients to the risk of transmission and affect tumors associated with donor CTCs. Although leukocyte filtration can not completely remove tumor cells in the blood, it can effectively reduce the number of white blood cells in the blood and reduce their proliferation ability. Blood irradiation can effectively destroy the DNA of CTCs in the blood, and inhibit the occurrence and metastasis of tumors caused by the infusion of allogeneic blood containing CTCs. Therefore, we should pay attention to the potential risk of CTCs on clinical transfusion, and strengthen the preclinical treatment of blood to avoid donor-related tumor infection in blood recipients due to clinical transfusion.

Objective: To construct a hypertension risk prediction model for residents aged 18-79 years, so as to provide an assessment tool for early screening and prevention of hypertension in high-risk groups. Methods: The permanent residents aged 18-79 years from 6 townships (streets) in Fangshan District of Beijing Municipality were selected as the study subjects using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method from March to June 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and blood lipid were collected through questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Subjects were randomly divided into training and validation sets at a 7∶3 ratio. The logistic regression model was used to screen the risk factors of hypertension, and a hypertension risk prediction nomogram was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis were used to verify the discrimination, fit, and clinical application value of the model. Results: A total of 4 438 subjects were included, including 2 365 males (53.29%) and 2 073 females (46.71%), with a mean age of (44.99±14.90) years. The prevalence of hypertension was 35.29% (1 566 cases), and the standardized prevalence was 24.74%. The logistic regression model screened out 9 influencing factors of hypertension. The nomogram was established as ln[p/ (1-p)]= -2.873 + 0.935×40-<50 years + 1.463×50-<60 years + 1.908×60-<70 years + 2.346×70-79 years + 0.298×male-0.675×college degree or above + 0.384×smoking + 0.227×drinking + 0.572×overweight + 1.449×obesity + 0.557×heart rate ≥80 beats/min + 0.428×diabetes + 0.484×dyslipidemia. The area under the ROC curve of the validation set was 0.821 (95%CI: 0.798-0.843), and the calibration curve results showed that the calibration curve fitted the actual curve well. Decision curve analysis showed that the threshold probability was in the range of 0.10 to 0.70, and the model had good predictive value and clinical application value. Conclusion The nomogram based on age, gender, educational level, smoking, drinking, body mass index, heart rate, diabetes, and dyslipidemia can be used to predict the risk of hypertension among residents aged 18-79 years.

Plateau refractory wounds are affected by adverse conditions such as hypoxia, strong ultraviolet rays, and frigid, which can cause serious cell function damage, hinder re-epithelialization, and delay or even stop the healing of wounds. Conventional debridement and drainage, functional dressings and other traditional treatments have poor efficacy on this type of wound. Not only do patients have to endure long hospital stays, but they may also suffer from other complications due to long-term non-healing of wounds. In this paper, we report a patient with a plateau refractory wound that had not healed for 2 months. After two applications of platelet lysate gel treatment, the wound healed completely. This treatment method provides a new treatment approach for patients with plateau refractory wounds, which is worthy of clinical reference.

Methods: The residents aged 18 to 79 years were selected in Fangshan District using multistage stratified cluster sampling method from March to June 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, and blood lipid were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. The prevalence, awareness, treatment and control rates of diabetes among residents were analyzed and their influencing factors were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 4 438 residents were enrolled, including 2 367 males (53.33%) and 2 071 females (46.67%), and had a mean age of (44.99±14.90) years. The prevalence, awareness, treatment and control rates of diabetes were 15.75%, 57.37%, 56.22% and 22.90%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age (aged 30 to 39 years, OR=1.624, 95%CI: 1.011-2.609; aged 40 to 49 years, OR=3.469, 95%CI: 2.163-5.561; aged 50 to 59 years, OR=4.202, 95%CI: 2.595-6.803; aged 60 to 69 years, OR=7.229, 95%CI: 4.406-11.862; aged 70 to 79 years, OR=7.929, 95%CI: 4.665-13.479), obesity (OR=1.368, 95%CI: 1.071-1.748), hypertension (OR=1.943, 95%CI: 1.601-2.359) and dyslipidemia (OR=2.754, 95%CI: 2.287-3.317) were the factors affecting the prevalence of diabetes. Sex (women, OR=1.529, 95%CI: 1.019-2.293), age (aged 40 to 49 years, OR=4.971, 95%CI: 1.681-14.698; aged 50 to 59 years, OR=6.070, 95%CI: 2.045-18.020; aged 60 to 69 years, OR=6.902, 95%CI: 2.287-20.832; aged 70 to 79 years, OR=6.954, 95%CI: 2.191-22.070) and hypertension (OR=1.906, 95%CI: 1.337-2.718) were the factors affecting the awareness of diabetes. Age (aged 40 to 49 years, OR=4.699, 95%CI: 1.594-13.855; aged 50 to 59 years, OR=5.990, 95%CI: 2.023-17.732; aged 60 to 69 years, OR=7.134, 95%CI: 2.370-21.470; aged 70 to 79 years, OR=6.639, 95%CI: 2.102-20.964) and hypertension (OR=1.857, 95%CI: 1.304-2.645) were the factors affecting the treatment of diabetes. Age (aged 40 to 49 years, OR=2.948, 95%CI: 1.349-6.438; aged 60 to 69 years, OR=2.344, 95%CI: 1.049-5.234) was the factor affecting the control of diabetes. Conclusions The prevalence rate of diabetes among residents in Fangshan District was high, and the improvements of awareness rate, treatment rate and control rate were not obvious. Health education and management of diabetes should be strengthened for elderly, hypertensive and dyslipidemic residents.

Non-bifurcating cervical carotid artery(NBCCA)is a very rare anatomical variation of the cervical carotid artery,which may be related to the abnormal development of internal carotid artery(ICA)and external carotid artery in embryonic period.Neither carotid bulb nor a true carotid bifurcation can be observed on the ultrasound of carotid artery while a"stump-like"change was showed at the expected bifurcation level of carotid artery on DSA.Few cases has been reported in China and abroad so far.This article reported a middle-aged male with a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes and was admitted to the hospital due to dizziness for one month.The left NBCCA accompanied with severe stenosis of the right ICA was confirmed by cerebral angiography.The patient received the right ICA stent implantation surgery as well as antihypertensive and glucose-control treatment and was discharged as his symptoms improved.Clinical data of this case and related literatures were reviewed,in order to improve clinicians'especially imaging diagnostic physicians'understanding on NBCCA to avoid misdiagnosis and related complications.

Objective:To explore the psychological experience and demand of parents of children with delayed recovery after congenital heart disease surgery.Methods:This study adopted phenomenological research methods from qualitative research. Using the purposive sampling method, parents of postoperative delayed recovery children with congenital heart disease who met the inclusion criteria were selected as the research objects from October to November 2019 at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the parents of the children, and the data were analyzed by Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:Finally, 13 parents of children with delayed recovery after congenital heart disease surgery were included. According to the interview results, four themes were extracted, which were negative psychological experience of parents of children with delayed recovery, positive psychological experience and expectation change of parents, heavy economic burden of parents and diversified needs of parents.Conclusions:During the delayed recovery period, psychological experience of parents is complex and their needs are diverse. The nursing staff should identify and pay attention to the causes of the negative psychological experience of the parents of the children, timely channel their negative emotions and strengthen the positive psychological experience in many aspects. They can assist parents to seek social help to reduce physical and mental pressure and meet the diverse needs of parents by providing high-quality nursing services and multi-channel information support.

OX40 is a costimulatory receptor that is expressed primarily on activated CD4⁺, CD8⁺, and regulatory T cells. The ligation of OX40 to its sole ligand OX40L potentiates T cell expansion, differentiation, and activation and also promotes dendritic cells to mature to enhance their cytokine production. Therefore, the use of agonistic anti-OX40 antibodies for cancer immunotherapy has gained great interest. However, most of the agonistic anti-OX40 antibodies in the clinic are OX40L-competitive and show limited efficacy. Here, we discovered that BGB-A445, a non-ligand-competitive agonistic anti-OX40 antibody currently under clinical investigation, induced optimal T cell activation without impairing dendritic cell function. In addition, BGB-A445 dose-dependently and significantly depleted regulatory T cells in vitro and in vivo via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. In the MC38 syngeneic model established in humanized OX40 knock-in mice, BGB-A445 demonstrated robust and dose-dependent antitumor efficacy, whereas the ligand-competitive anti-OX40 antibody showed antitumor efficacy characterized by a hook effect. Furthermore, BGB-A445 demonstrated a strong combination antitumor effect with an anti-PD-1 antibody. Taken together, our findings show that BGB-A445, which does not block OX40-OX40L interaction in contrast to clinical-stage anti-OX40 antibodies, shows superior immune-stimulating effects and antitumor efficacy and thus warrants further clinical investigation.
