OBJECTIVE To explore clinical characteristics and risk factors of drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia， providing a reference for rational clinical drug use. METHODS Retrospective case analyses literature on drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia were collected from domestic and international databases from their inception to December 31， 2024. The patients’ gender， age， fibrinogen （FIB） levels before and after treatment， drug types， the incidence of drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia， time of occurrence， bleeding rates， clinical manifestations， risk factors， and protective factors were all analyzed. RESULTS A total of 40 retrospective case analysis studies were included， involving 17 313 patients. Patient age ranged from 0.83 to 78.40 years， with males accounting for 16.90%-81.00%. The involved drugs comprised 5 categories and 13 specific agents， including tigecycline， snake venom hemocoagulase， tocilizumab， and alteplase， etc. The incidence of drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia ranged from 0 to 100%， occurring between 2 hours and 9 months after drug administration， and FIB levels rebounded in most patients after drug discontinuation. The bleeding rate varied from 0% to 91.30%， including epistaxis， airway bleeding， gastrointestinal bleeding， and cerebral hemorrhage. Risk factors included high drug dosage， prolonged treatment duration， abdominal infection， advanced age， and low baseline FIB levels. Protective factors were only mentioned in studies on tigecycline， including skin and soft tissue infections and high baseline FIB levels. CONCLUSIONS Drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia is commonly associated with tigecycline， hemocoagulase， and tocilizumab. Its clinical features vary depending on the drug， and risk factors include high drug dosage， prolonged treatment， low baseline FIB levels， and advanced age. For high-risk medications， individualized medication management and monitoring of FIB levels are recommended.

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.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of the AI intelligent reconstruction model based on knee joint magnetic resonance data developed by Nuctech Company Limited for evaluating knee cartilage injury.Methods:Thirty-three patients (a total of forty-one knees) who were hospitalized with severe knee osteoarthritis in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from May 2021 to April 2022 were selected. All of them were planned to be performed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Fifteen males with an average age of 71±5 years old and twenty six females with an average age of 71±9 years old were included in this study. There were 19 cases of left knee and 22 cases of right knee. Thin layer MRI examination on the patients' knee joints was performed before the surgery, and artificial intelligence model based on the thin layer MRI data of the knee joint was reconstructed. The cartilage part of the model was selected and corrected by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in order to realize model straightening. The tibial plateau cartilage of knee joint which intercepted during operation was classified according to the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS). Finally the results were compared with the ICRS classification results of knee artificial intelligence reconstruction model and artificial recognition of knee joint MRI images.Results:Compared with the grade of cartilage injury intercepted during our operation which was according to the ICRS classification, the sensitivity of artificial intelligence reconstruction model for the diagnosis of cartilage injury with ICRS classification grade four was 93.1%. The specificity of artificial intelligence reconstruction model was 91.4%. The positive predictive value (PPV) of artificial intelligence reconstruction model was 92.2%. And the negative predictive value (NPV) of artificial intelligence reconstruction model was 80.3%. The area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.92. The ICRS classification consistency between artificial intelligence model and physical inspection results was good with kappa value 0.81 ( P<0.001) . In the aspect of artificial recognition of cartilage injury grading in MRI images, the sensitivity of artificial recognition was 92.10% compared with the manual identification of cartilage injury classification in MRI images. The specificity of artificial recognition was 91.60%. The positive predictive value (PPV) of artificial recognition was 97.20% and the negative predictive value (NPV) of artificial recognition was 78.8%. The kappa value of the cartilage injury classification in MRI images consistency between artificial recognition and manual identification was 0.79 ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Based on the evaluation of cartilage injury by AI reconstruction model of knee joint, the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of ICRS grade IV cartilage injury can be acceptable, but still needs to be improved.

ObjectiveThis study investigated the mechanism of Wenjingtang in the prevention and treatment of endometriosis （EMT） from the perspective of regulating hypoxia stress and mitochondrial function. MethodPrimary human endometrial stromal cells （ESCs） form ectopic endometrial tissues were isolated and cultured， the cells were divided into control group （Control）， 5% control serum group （5% KBXQ）， 10% control serum group （10% KBXQ）， 5% Wenjingtang serum group （5% WJTXQ） and 10% Wenjingtang serum group （10% WJTXQ）. ESCs in different groups were detected for proliferation by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） assay， mRNA and protein expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α） by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot analysis， mitochondrial ultrastructure by transmission electron microscope， mitochondrial function ［mitochondrial membrane potential， mitochondrial membrane potential（MMP） and cytochrome C（Cyt C） content］ and apoptosis （cell membrane permeability， nuclear fluorescence intensity， nuclear size and cell counts） by high content screening （HCS） assay， apoptosis rate by flow cytometry， and proteins of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） associated X （Bax）， Bcl-2 and cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 （cleaved Caspase-3） by Western blot. ResultCompared with Control group， the 5% KBXQ and 10% KBXQ groups showed increased cell viability （P<0.01）， there was no significant change in HIF-1α mRNA and protein expression， transmission electron microscopy showed that the mitochondrial cristae were obvious and the inner and outer membranes of mitochondria were clear， HCS multichannel fluorescence staining showed that there were no significant changes in the expression of MMP， Cyt C and cell membrane permeability， and the nuclei showed uniform light staining， there were no significant changes in apoptosis rate， cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Compared with Control group and corresponding concentration KBXQ group， the 5% WJTXQ and 10% WJTXQ group showed decreased cell viability （P<0.01） and HIF-1α mRNA and protein levels （P<0.05，P<0.01）， the ultrastructure of mitochondria was destroyed， some mitochondria were swollen and the cristae were blurred， moreover， decreased MMP and up-regulated Cyt C release （P<0.05，P<0.01）， increased cell membrane permeability （P<0.01）， and apoptosis characteristics included nuclear pyknosis， DNA agglutination in nucleus and decrease of cell numbers were observed （P<0.05，P<0.01）， increased apoptosis rate （P<0.01）， which was consistent with the results of HCS analysis， and up-regulated expression levels of cleaved Caspase-3 protein and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio （P<0.05，P<0.01）. ConclusionIn conclusion， the results suggest that Wenjingtang can improve hypoxia stress via down-regulating HIF-1α expression in ectopic ESCs， and inhibit cell proliferation， reduce mitochondrial biological activity and induce apoptosis， which might be the internal mechanism of Wenjingtang in preventing and treating EMT.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect and safety of Chinese Children's Leukemia Group (CCLG)-ALL 2008 (high risk group) protocol in the treatment with childhood Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). METHODS: The clinical data of 15 new diagnosed patients with MPAL treated in our hospital from January 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, and received CCLG-ALL 2008 (high risk group) protocol chemotherapy. RESULTS: One patient gave up treatment after diagnosed, and 14 children with MPAL after induction remission chemotherapy, 3 patients gave up, and 5 patients received consolidation chemotherapy, and 6 patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The complete remission (CR) rate was 85.7% at d33 of induction remission chemotherapy. The serious adverse event and treatment-related mortality (TRM) rate was 71.4% and 14.3%, respectively. The recurrence rate was 21.4% and the median time of relapse was 12(9.7-18.4) months. Except for 4 patients who gave up treatment, the 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate in the other 11 patients was (54.5±15.0)%. The 5 years EFS of 4 patients who received consolidation chemotherapy was significantly lower than the 6 patients who received allo-HSCT after CR (25.0%±21.7% vs 83.3%±15.2%, P=0.033). CONCLUSION The CCLG-ALL2008 (for high-risk group) protocol in treatment of children with MPAL can get a high CR rate, but also with a high incidence of SAE. The patients received allo-HSCT after CR may have a good prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the effect of casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) on craniofacial soft tissues and hard tissues, to provide the basis for the study and treatment of craniomaxillofacial related diseases. Methods: 6-month- old male CKIP-1 knockout (KO) mice were selected as the experimental group, and wild-type (WT) mice were selected as the control group. The craniomaxillofacial hard tissues (parietal bone, nasal bone, incisors and molars) were analyzed through micro- CT, and the morphological changes of maxillofacial soft tissues (nasal cartilage, lip mucosa and tongue) were analyzed through HE staining and toluidine blue staining. Results: CKIP-1 negatively regulated bone mass of cancellous bone of cranial and maxillofacial bones and dentin mineralization. Compared with the WT mice, the thickness of the parietal baffle layer increased by 93% in KO mice, while cortical bone showed no significant difference between the two groups. The nasal cancellous bone thickness increased by 160% in KO-mice, while cortical bone showed no significant difference between the two groups; the enamel thickness was normal, but the pulp cavity became smaller and the dentin thickness increased by 48%. Compared with the WT mice, the HE staining and toluidine blue staining analyses of the soft tissues revealed that the thickness of the alar cartilage plate of KO mice increased by 57%, and local ossification was found within the cartilage plate. The thickness of the keratinized layer of the labial mucosa increased by 170% in KO mice and the muscle fiber diameter of the lingual muscle increased by 45%. Conclusion CKIP-1 genes have different effects on the growth and development of various soft and hard tissues in the maxillofacial region of mice.

italic>Shiraia bambusiccola is an important medicinal fungus in China. Hypocrellins with perylenequinone skeleton are main bioactive components of Shiraia bambusiccola, which are widely used in food, medicine, pesticide and other fields as natural photosensitizers. For example, "hypocrellin ointment" has already been used clinically. As a rare and vulnerable species, wild Shiraia bambusiccola resources are very limited. Due to the complex structure and chanllenge in chemical total synthesis of hypocrellins, it is urgent to find an effective strategy to rationally utilize its medicinal value while protecting the wild resources. In this study, a candidate gene cluster hpc was identified in Shiraia sp. cfcc 84681 based on careful bioinformatic analysis. A heterologous expression system for hpc gene cluster was successfully constructed and a mutant strain with high yield of hypocrellins was obtained, which mainly produced hypocrellin A and isohypocrellin A. The main ingredients in the mutant strain are consistent with that in the wild Shiraia bambusiccola. These results provide a new strategy to solve the shortage of wild Shiraia bambusiccola resources.
