Aim To study the proliferation,invasion and migration ability of Quaking(QKI)in gastric cancer(GC)via elucidating the molecular mechanisms associated with QKI in the occurrence and development of GC through bioinformatics.Methods Differential expression analysis of QKI was performed across vari-ous human cancer samples by merging data from the TCGA and GTEx databases.The correlation was ana-lyzed between QKI protein expression and tumor muta-tion burden(TMB)score,microsatellite instability(MSI)score,and ESTIMATE score,and the correla-tion was also explored between QKI protein expression and overall survival(OS),disease free survival(DFS),and progression free survival(PFS).EMT related genes that could encode DECircRNAs were ob-tained through bioinformatics analysis to construct a QKI-EMT-circRNAs regulatory network.The differenti-ally expressed circRNAs and EMT related genes in TMK1 cells were verified.The proliferation,invasion and migration ability of the QKI was studied by using the knockdown system.Results QKI was differential-ly expressed in the vast majority of tumors and was closely related to TMB,MSI,and tumor microenviron-ment(TME);QKI emerged as a high-risk factor for predicting OS,DFS,and PFS in individuals with com-mon human cancers.QKI regulated the splicing of 6 EMT related gene transcripts to form eight circRNAs,all of which were significantly associated with the prog-nosis of gastric cancer patients.Cell experiments showed that compared to normal gastric epithelial cells,only hsa_ccirc_0004015,CALD1,and CDK14 were down-regulated in TMK1 cells.Knocking down QKI inhibited the proliferation,invasion and migration ability of TMK1 cells.Conclusion QKI exerts regu-latory control over the transcription of six EMT-related genes,resulting in the formation of circRNAs,thereby promoting the pathogenesis and progression of GC.QKI is highly expressed in TMK1 cells,and knock-down of QKI can inhibit the proliferation,invasion and migration ability of TMK1 cells.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with invasive fungal sinusitis (invasive fungal rhinosinusitis, IFR) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and explored the risk factors for IFR after allo-HSCT.Methods:Nineteen patients with IFR after allo-HSCT at Peking University People’s Hospital from January 2012 to December 2021 were selected as the study group, and 95 patients without IFR after allo-HSCT during this period were randomly selected as the control group (1:5 ratio) .Results:Nineteen patients, including 10 males and 9 females, had IFR after allo-HSCT. The median age was 36 (10–59) years. The median IFR onset time was 68 (9–880) days after allo-HSCT. There were seven patients with acute myeloid leukemia, five with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, two with myelodysplastic syndrome, two with chronic myeloid leukemia, one with acute mixed-cell leukemia, one with multiple myeloma, and one with T-lymphoblastic lymph node tumor. There were 13 confirmed cases and 6 clinically diagnosed cases. The responsible fungus was Mucor in two cases, Rhizopus in four, Aspergillus in four, and Candida in three. Five patients received combined treatment comprising amphotericin B and posaconazole, one patient received combined treatment comprising voriconazole and posaconazole, nine patients received voriconazole, and four patients received amphotericin B. In addition to antifungal treatment, 10 patients underwent surgery. After antifungal treatment and surgery, 15 patients achieved a response, including 13 patients with a complete response and 2 patients with a partial response. Multivariate analysis revealed that neutropenia before transplantation ( P=0.021) , hemorrhagic cystitis after transplantation ( P=0.012) , delayed platelet engraftment ( P=0.008) , and lower transplant mononuclear cell count ( P=0.012) were independent risk factors for IFR after allo-HSCT. The 5-year overall survival rates in the IFR and control groups after transplantation were 29.00%±0.12% and 91.00%±0.03%, respectively ( P<0.01) . Conclusion:Although IFR is rare, it is associated with poor outcomes in patients undergoing allo-HSCT. The combination of antifungal treatment and surgery might be effective.

Objectives:To determine the effect of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency on patients’ complications and prognosis following allogeneic stem cell hematopoietic transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:7 patients with G6PD deficiency (study group) who underwent allo-HSCT at Peking University People's Hospital from March 2015 to January 2021 were selected as the study group, and thirty-five patients who underwent allo-HSCT during the same period but did not have G6PD deficiency were randomly selected as the control group in a 1∶5 ratio. Gender, age, underlying diseases, and donors were balanced between the two groups. Collect clinical data from two patient groups and perform a retrospective nested case-control study.Results:The study group consisted of six male patients and one female patient, with a median age of 37 (range, 2-45) years old. The underlying hematologic diseases included acute myeloid leukemia ( n=3), acute lymphocytic leukemia ( n=2), and severe aplastic anemia ( n=2). All 7 G6PD deficiency patients achieved engraftment of neutrophils within 28 days of allo-HSCT, while the engraftment rate of neutrophils was 94.5% in the control group. The median days of platelet engraftment were 21 (6–64) d and 14 (7–70) d ( P=0.113). The incidence rates of secondary poor graft function in the study group and control group were 42.9% (3/7) and 8.6% (3/35), respectively ( P=0.036). The CMV infection rates were 71.4% (5/7) and 31.4% (11/35), respectively ( P=0.049). The incidence rates of hemorrhagic cystitis were 57.1% (4/7) and 8.6% (3/35), respectively ( P=0.005), while the bacterial infection rates were 100% (7/7) and 77.1% (27/35), respectively ( P=0.070). The infection rates of EBV were 14.3% (1/7) and 14.3% (5/35), respectively ( P=1.000), while the incidence of fungal infection was 14.3% (1/7) and 25.7% (9/35), respectively ( P=0.497). The rates of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) were 0% and 5.7%, respectively ( P=0.387) . Conclusions:The findings of this study indicate that blood disease patients with G6PD deficiency can tolerate conventional allo-HSCT pretreatment regimens, and granulocytes and platelets can be implanted successfully. However, after transplantation, patients should exercise caution to avoid viral infection, complications of hemorrhagic cystitis, and secondary poor graft function.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for about half of the number of patients with heart failure. In addition to the typical features of heart failure such as myocardial stiffness and diastolic function impairment, the key characteristic of HFpEF is the normal left ventricular ejection fraction, which increases the difficulty of clinical diagnosis. QiShenYiQi Dripping Pills (QSYQ) is a standardized traditional Chinese medicine approved by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), and many clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of QSYQ in the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, but the role of QSYQ in HFpEF has not been clarified. In this paper, high fat diet (HFD) and drinking water containing N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 0.5 g·L^-1, pH=7.4) were used in C57BL/6N male mice to construct the classical HFpEF model (the experiment was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Hefei University of Technology, the approval number is HFUT20220921002), and at the 8^th week, the mice were dosed with ① empagliflozin, ② low-dose QSYQ (LQ), ③ high-dose QSYQ (HQ), ④ empagliflozin plus low-dose QSYQ (ELQ) for 4 weeks, the body weight of the mice was recorded during the experiment, echocardiography, blood pressure and glucose tolerance were detected and the exercise capacity of mice was evaluated, and pathological and biochemical experiments were used to detect cardiac fibrosis, liver fibrosis and serum biochemical indexes in mice, RNAseq assay was performed with mice heart tissues. The results showed that QSYQ as well as QSYQ+empagliflozin could significantly reduce the body weight, improve diastolic function and hypertension, improve glucose tolerance and enhance exercise ability of HFpEF mice. At the biochemical and molecular levels, QSYQ and QSYQ+empagliflozin can reduce the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes and reduce cardiac collagen contents, thereby alleviating myocardial hypertrophy and fibrotic phenotypes, and improve metabolic disorders. The RNAseq results suggest that the function of QSYQ in improving HFpEF may be related to calsequestrin 1. In conclusion, this study shows that QSYQ and QSYQ+empagliflozin can significantly improve HFpEF-related cardiac dysfunction and metabolic disorders, which provides a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of HFpEF.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Astragali Radix-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata in the treatment of heart failure and substance basis based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometer （UPLC-Q-TOF-MS） and network pharmacology. MethodThe chemical components of Astragali Radix-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata solution was analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS， and the active components and targets were screened out by the PubChem database. The targets related to heart failure disease were retrieved from Comparative Toxicogenomics Database（CTD）， Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM）， and GeneCard databases， and the common targets were obtained by Venn analysis. The target protein-protein interactions （PPI） were analyzed using the STRING database. Gene ontology （GO） functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis were performed using the Metascape database， and molecular docking verification of key targets and active components was performed using SYBYL-X 2.1.1. Experimental validation of key targets was carried out using the rat model of heart failure. ResultThere were 202 chemical components identified in Astragali Radix-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata solution， of which 64 active components were predicted to act on 183 targets for the treatment of heart failure. The important active components were caffeic acid， L-arginine， biochanin A， adenine， nicotinic acid， trans-ferulic acid， p-coumaric acid， riboflavin， calycosin， etc. The main targets were interleukin （IL）-6， cysteine aspartic acid specific protease （Caspase）-3， vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGFA）， protein kinase B1 （Akt1）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， IL-1B， matrix metallopeptidase （MMP）-9， etc. The main signaling pathways involved hypoxia-inducible factor （HIF）-1 signaling pathway， TNF signaling pathway， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/Akt signaling pathway， Toll-like receptor signaling pathway， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling pathway， forkhead box O （FoxO） signaling pathway， etc. The molecular docking results showed that the active components in Astragali Radix-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata solution had a good binding ability with HIF-1α， VEGFA， Akt1， Caspase-3， and IL-6， which were the key proteins in the HIF-1 signaling pathway. Animal experiments showed that Astragali Radix-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata solution significantly improved the hemodynamic indexes， reduced the serum atrial natriuretic peptide （ANP）， brain natriuretic peptide （BNP）， and IL-6 levels， improved the myocardial histopathological changes， protected the mitochondrial morphology of cardiomyocytes， down-regulated the expression of HIF-1α， VEGFA and phosphorylation（p）-Akt， and reduced the activation of Caspase-3 in the myocardial tissue of rats with heart failure. ConclusionAstragali Radix-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata treats heart failure in a multi-component， multi-target， and multi-pathway manner. The experimental validation indicates that it treats heart failure by improving myocardial histopathological changes and regulating HIF-1 signaling pathway， which provides references for the subsequent pharmacodynamic substance research.

In recent years, laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery have been widely used, and various intraoperative image navigation systems have also developed rapidly. However, the liver itself has a complex vessel and duct system, which increase the difficulty of liver surgery. The augmented reality image navigation system combines the three-dimensional reconstructed image of the liver with the real liver anatomy, which presents the specific relationship between the tumor location and the surrounding vessels for the surgeon. Compared with other intraoperative image navigation methods, augmented reality has its unique advantages. This paper provides an overview of current advances in registration technology in augmented reality image navigation system, and focuses on its applications in liver surgery, including laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery. Finally, the technological problems and difficulties still faced at present are summarized, and future directions worth studying in this field are proposed.
