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 value of intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) in children′s video electroencephalography (EEG).Methods:The data of 8 994 children aged 1 to 18 years, who received IPS in the video EEG examination at the Liangjiang Campus of the Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from March 2021 to March 2022, were analyzed retrospectively.Patients were divided into non-epilepsy group and confirmed or suspected epilepsy group.Their IPS responses, clinical and EEG characteristics were collected.Categorical variables were expressed using frequencies and percentages.The relationship between IPS response and age was determined by Chi- square test or Fisher′ s exact probability method. Results:The median age of 8 994 children was 6.3 years.There were 2 310 (25.7%) children in the non-epileptic group, including 1 364 (59.0%) males and 946 (41.0%) females.There were 6 684 (74.3%) children in the confirmed or suspected epileptic group, including 3 842 (57.5%) males and 2 842 (42.5%) females.In the non-epileptic group, 141 cases (6.1%) had IPS photo-driving responses, and 1 case had photo paroxysmal response (PPR). In the confirmed or suspected epilepsy group, IPS photo-driving responses (2.4%) occurred in 160 cases, PPR (1.2%) in 82 cases, photo convulsion responses(0.3%) in 18 cases, and asymmetric photo-driving responses (0.2%) in 14 cases.The IPS photosensitivity responses varied among children of different ages, sexes, epileptic discharge types and seizure types in the confirmed or suspected epilepsy group.The children aged 6 to 18 years showed significantly stronger photosensitivity responses than those aged 1 to <6 years ( P<0.001). The photosensitivity activity in females was 1.9 times higher than that in males.The photosensitivity activity in patients with generalized discharges was 1.7 times more intense than that in patients with focal discharges.The photosensitivity reaction in patients with photo convulsive generalized seizures was 2.5 times stronger than that in patients with focal seizures. Conclusions:Routine standardized IPS is important for the detection of photosensitivity in children diagnosed or suspected with epilepsy.It can effectively guide the medical practice.

Biliary atresia is a rare infant disease that predisposes patients to liver transplantation and death if not treated in time. However, early diagnosis is challenging because the clinical manifestations and laboratory tests of biliary atresia overlap with other cholestatic diseases. Therefore, it is very important to develop a simple, safe and reliable method for the early diagnosis of biliary atresia. Herein, a novel NIR-II fluorescence probe, HZL2, with high quantum yield, excellent biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity and rapid excretion through the liver and gallbladder was developed based on the oil/water partition coefficient and permeability. A simple fecal sample after injection of HZL2 can be used to efficiently identify the success of the mouse model of biliary atresia for the first time, allowing for an early diagnosis of the disease. This study not only developed a simple and safe method for the early diagnosis of biliary atresia with great potential in clinical translation but also provides a research tool for the development of pathogenesis and therapeutic medicines for biliary atresia.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the preadmission follow-up condition of neonates hospitalized due to severe hyperbilirubinemia after discharge from the department of obstetrics and the influencing factors for follow-up compliance. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective case-control study was performed for the cases from the multicenter clinical database of 12 units in the Quality Improvement Clinical Research Cooperative Group of Neonatal Severe Hyperbilirubinemia in Jiangsu Province of China from January 2019 to April 2021. According to whether the follow-up of neonatal jaundice was conducted on time after discharge from the department of obstetrics, the neonates were divided into two groups: good follow-up compliance and poor follow-up compliance. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the influencing factors for follow-up compliance of the neonates before admission. RESULTS: A total of 545 neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia were included in the study, with 156 neonates (28.6%) in the good follow-up compliance group and 389 (71.4%) in the poor follow-up compliance group. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low gestational age at birth, ≥10% reduction in body weight on admission compared with birth weight, history of phototherapy of siblings, history of exchange transfusion of siblings, Rh(-) blood type of the mother, a higher educational level of the mother, the use of WeChat official account by medical staff to remind of follow-up before discharge from the department of obstetrics, and the method of telephone notification to remind of follow-up after discharge were associated with the increase in follow-up compliance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Poor follow-up compliance is observed for the neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia after discharge from the department of obstetrics, which suggests that it is necessary to further strengthen the education of jaundice to parents before discharge and improve the awareness of jaundice follow-up. It is recommended to remind parents to follow up on time by phone or WeChat official account.

BACKGROUND: Shenyankangfu Tablet (SYKFT) is a Chinese patent medicine that has been used widely to decrease proteinuria and the progression of chronic kidney disease. OBJECTIVE: This trial compared the efficacy and safety of SYKFT, for the control of proteinuria in primary glomerulonephritis patients, against the standard drug, losartan potassium. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTION: This was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Primary glomerulonephritis patients, aged 18-70 years, with blood pressure ≤ 140/90 mmHg, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 45 mL/min per 1.73 m MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was change in the 24-hour proteinuria level, after 48 weeks of treatment. RESULTS: A total of 735 participants were enrolled. The percent decline of urine protein quantification in the SYKFT group after 48 weeks was 8.78% ± 2.56% (P = 0.006) more than that in the losartan 50 mg group, which was 0.51% ± 2.54% (P = 1.000) less than that in the losartan 100 mg group. Compared with the losartan potassium 50 mg group, the SYKFT plus losartan potassium 50 mg group had a 13.39% ± 2.49% (P < 0.001) greater reduction in urine protein level. Compared with the losartan potassium 100 mg group, the SYKFT plus losartan potassium 100 mg group had a 9.77% ± 2.52% (P = 0.001) greater reduction in urine protein. With a superiority threshold of 15%, neither was statistically significant. eGFR, serum creatinine and serum albumin from the baseline did not change statistically significant. The average change in TCM syndrome score between the patients who took SYKFT (-3.00 [-6.00, -2.00]) and who did not take SYKFT (-2.00 [-5.00, 0]) was statistically significant (P = 0.003). No obvious adverse reactions were observed in any group. CONCLUSION: SYKFT decreased the proteinuria and improved the TCM syndrome scores of primary glomerulonephritis patients, with no change in the rate of decrease in the eGFR. SYKFT plus losartan potassium therapy decreased proteinuria more than losartan potassium therapy alone. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02063100 on ClinicalTrials.gov.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features and outcome of neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in southwest Hubei, China. METHODS: According to the Montreux definition of neonatal ARDS, a retrospective clinical epidemiological investigation was performed on the medical data of neonates with ARDS who were admitted to Department of Neonatology/Pediatrics in 17 level 2 or level 3 hospitals in southwest Hubei from January to December, 2017. RESULTS: A total of 7 150 neonates were admitted to the 17 hospitals in southwest Hubei during 2017 and 66 (0.92%) were diagnosed with ARDS. Among the 66 neonates with ARDS, 23 (35%) had mild ARDS, 28 (42%) had moderate ARDS, and 15 (23%) had severe ARDS. The main primary diseases for neonatal ARDS were perinatal asphyxia in 23 neonates (35%), pneumonia in 18 neonates (27%), sepsis in 12 neonates (18%), and meconium aspiration syndrome in 10 neonates (15%). Among the 66 neonates with ARDS, 10 neonates (15%) were born to the mothers with an age of ≥35 years, 30 neonates (45%) suffered from intrauterine distress, 32 neonates (49%) had a 1-minute Apgar score of 0 to 7 points, 24 neonates (36%) had abnormal fetal heart monitoring results, and 21 neonates (32%) experienced meconium staining of amniotic fluid. Intraventricular hemorrhage was the most common comorbidity (12 neonates), followed by neonatal shock (9 neonates) and patent ductus arteriosus (8 neonates). All 66 neonates with ARDS were treated with mechanical ventilation in addition to the treatment for primary diseases. Among the 66 neonates with ARDS, 10 died, with a mortality rate of 15% (10/66), and 56 neonates were improved or cured, with a survival rate of 85% (56/66). CONCLUSIONS Neonatal ARDS in southwest Hubei is mostly mild or moderate. Perinatal asphyxia and infection may be the main causes of neonatal ARDS in this area. Intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common comorbidity. Neonates with ARDS tend to have a high survival rate after multimodality treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and the management on the treatment and follow-up of this disease in Jiangsu Province, China. METHODS: The neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia who were admitted to 13 hospitals in Jiangsu Province from January to December, 2018, were enrolled as subjects. A retrospective analysis was performed on their mediacal data and follow-up data. RESULTS: In 2018, 740 neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia were reported from the 13 hospitals in Jiangsu Province, accounting for 2.70% (740/27 386) of the total number of neonates admitted to the department of neonatology. Among these neonates, 620 (83.8%) had severe hyperbilirubinemia, 106 (14.3%) had extremely severe hyperbilirubinemia, and 14 (1.9%) had hazardous hyperbilirubinemia. Four neonates (0.5%) were diagnosed with acute bilirubin encephalopathy. A total of 484 neonates (65.4%) were readmitted due to severe hyperbilirubinemia after discharge from the delivery institution, with a median age of 7 days, among whom 214 (44.2%) were followed up for jaundice at the outpatient service before readmission, with a median age of 6 days at the first time of outpatient examination. During hospitalization, 211 neonates (28.5%) underwent cranial MRI examinations, among whom 85 (40.3%) had high T1WI signal in the bilateral basal ganglia and the globus pallidus; 238 neonates (32.2%) underwent brainstem auditory evoked potential examinations, among whom 14 (5.9%) passed only at one side and 7 (2.9%) failed at both sides. The 17 neonates with acute bilirubin encephalopathy or hazardous hyperbilirubinemia were followed up. Except one neonate was lost to follow-up, and there were no abnormal neurological symptoms in the other neonates. CONCLUSIONS Neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia account for a relatively high proportion of the total number of neonates in the department of neonatology. Jaundice monitoring and management after discharge from delivery institutions need to be strengthened. For neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia, relevant examinations should be carried out more comprehensively during hospitalization and these neonates should be followed up comprehensively and systematically after discharge.

Objective To investigate the value of multi-modal neuroendoscopy combined with microscopy in the treatment of solid cystic brain tumors. Methods Fifty patients with cystic solid tumors admitted to Wuzhou Worker′s Hospital(the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University) from February 2016 to February 2019 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups by random number table method. The patients in control group (25 cases) received microsurgery, and the patients in observation group (25 cases) received microsurgery combined with neuroendoscopy. All patients underwent CT or MRI. The differences in tumor resection rate between the two groups were observed and compared. The postoperative complications and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores were compared between the two groups. All patients were followed up for 12 months after surgery. The tumor recurrence rate and mortality rate of the two groups were compared. Results The total resection rate of the tumor in observation group was 80.00%(20/25), and in control group was 48.00%(12/25), and there was significant difference (P<0.05). The postoperative GOS score of observation group was higher than that of control group: (4.52 ± 1.73) scores vs. (3.65 ± 1.15) scores, t=2.094, P=0.041. The incidence of postoperative complications, tumor recurrence rate and the mortality rate between two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Multi-modal neuroendoscopy combined with microscopy can significantly improve the total resection rate of cystic brain tumors and improve the prognosis without increasing the risk of surgery.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of infusing G-CSF mobilized recipient spleen cells at different time after haploidentical stem cell transplantation(HSCT) on graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in mice and its possible mechanism.

METHODSForty mice after HSCT were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10): GVHD positive control group (control group), 1st d recipient cell infusion group after transplantation (+1 d group), 4th d recipient cell infusion group after transplantation(+4 d group), 7th d recipient cell infusion group after transplantation(+7 d group). The mice in control group were injected the normal saline of same equivalent with experimental group which were given the same amount of G-CSF-mobilized recipient spleen cells. The general manifestation and pathological change of GVHD were observed. The expression changes of CD3CD4, CD3CD8cell subsets and FasL in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry.

RESULTSThe incidence of GVHD was significantly decreased in +4 d group and the median survival time was longer than 60 days, which was significantly higher than that of control group (24 d), +1 d group (21 d), +7 d group (28 d). (P<0.01, P<0.01, P<0.01). The Fasl expression of peripheral blood T lymphocytes in +4 d group were significantly lower than that in the other 3 groups(P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe +4 d infusion of G-CSF mobilized recipient spleen cells on 4th day after haploidentical HSC transplantation can inhibit the expression of FasL in donor T lymphocytes, and significantly reduce the incidence of GVHD.
