ObjectiveTo explore the clinical features and factors inlfuencing the prognosis of childhood non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).MethodsPathologically diagnosed 78 pediatric patients with NHL and treated in the Afifliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2004 to August 2013 were collected and analyzed. Patients were grouped according to age, sex, tumor size, immunologic classiifcation, B-symptoms, LDH, hemoglobin and clinical staging. The 5-years event-free survival rate (EFS) were calculated and analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference of the survival rate between groups were com-pared. Using Cox proportional hazards model, we analyzed the possible factors that might inlfuence 5-years event-free survival rate EFS , such as age and clinical staging. TheOR value and the 95%CI were calculated.ResultsAmong the 78 cases, median age of onset is 7 years old, male to female ratio is 2.90:1, there are 25 cases of T-cell type and 53 cases of B-cell type. According to pathological types,Burkitt lymphoma is the most common (34.6%), followed by T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (20.5%), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (11.5%). According to the St. Jude malignant lymphoma staging system, there are 2 cases in stage I, 9 in stageⅡ, 35 in stageⅢ and 32 in stageⅣ. Swelling of periphery lymph node (80.7%) was observed as initial symptom in 26 cases of lymphoblastic lymphoma. Among 45 cases of mature B-cell tumor, the main clinical feature including abdominal cavity and gingival were observed in 27 cases of Burkitt lymphoma. Among the 73 cases received treatments, 66 cases (90.5%) attained CR (complete remission) and 4 cases (5.5%) attained PR (partial remission) by cytology and radiographic assessment after two course of combined chemotherapy, 2 cases (2.7%) rapidly relapsed after the remisson of one course treatment, 1 case (1.3%) appeared the central nervous system inifltration in the chemotherapy. With median follow-up time of 42 months, the 5-year EFS of the 73 cases was (67.0+5.5)%. Single factor analysis showed that B-symptom, LDH, and clinical staging were signiifcantly correlated with prognosis (P<0.05), while age, sex, tumor size, hemoglobin and immune classiifcation was independent of prog-nosis (P>0.05). Multiple factor analysis showed that LDH and clinical staging inlfuenced the prognosis (OR=3.34,95%CI 2.275?10.683,P<0.01;OR=4.354,95%CI 1.519?12.475,P<0.01) .Conclusionclinical features of childhood NHL are variable. LDH and clinical staging at primary diagnosis are important factors affecting the prognosis.

Objective:Based on Braden scale, combined with local skin temperature and local tissue oxygen saturation as microcirculation indicators, to construct a pressure injury risk prognosis model for severe trauma patients, and develop a visual nomogram.Methods:All the trauma patients in the Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province from June 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020 were selected. The Braden scale was used to assess the risk of pressure injury in the patient and measure the patient’s sacral injury. The skin temperature and blood oxygen saturation at the pressure site were used as indicators for microcirculation evaluation. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to construct a prognostic model and visual nomogram for severe trauma patients with stress injury based on Braden score combined with microcirculation evaluation indicators, and compared with the prediction model constructed by the Braden scale alone. The discrimination degree was judged by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The C index performed internal verification of the model, H-L goodness-of-fit test, and the overall discrimination index to observe and predict the effect of the model.Results:A total of 152 patients were enrolled in this study, of which 33 (21.71%) had pressure injuries. The area under the curve of the Braden scale combined with local skin temperature and local tissue oxygen saturation was 0.866, and the internal verification C index of the model was 0.847. The H-L goodness of fit test result was 8.37 ( P=0.051), indicating that the model had good discrimination and consistency. The overall discrimination index of the model was 0.144 ( P=0.023). Conclusions:The Braden scale combined with local microcirculation indicators to construct a prognostic model of stress injury in severe trauma patients has good discrimination and consistency, and the predictive power of the Braden scale is improved by 14.4%. The construction of a nomogram can provide clinical rapid convenient and reliable forecasting tool.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2023;42(12):1511-1515
The number of elderly trauma patients is increasing each year, leading to a higher risk of various coagulation disorders such as traumatic coagulation disease(TIC). Additionally, venous thrombosis(VTE)is a common complication during treatment for trauma patients, further impacting the treatment strategy and prognosis of elderly trauma patients.However, the mechanism of traumatic coagulation disorder is not fully understood, and there is limited research on the pathophysiological process and correlation between TIC and VTE formation.This article reviewed relevant studies on the coagulation status, pathogenesis, and treatment of TIC and VTE in elderly trauma patients, providing a foundation for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis in this population.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for early trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) following severe trauma in the elderly patients.Methods:A case-control study was used to analyze the clinical data of 317 elderly patients with severe trauma admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine between February 2015 and November 2020. There were 212 males and 105 females, aged 65-96 years [(72.6±6.8)years]. The patients were divided into TIC group ( n=32) and non-TIC group ( n=285) using the international normalised ratio (INR)>1.5 as the reference standard. Sex, age, trauma sites, injury severity score (ISS), Glasgow coma scale (GCS), first body temperature on admission, shock index(SI), first laboratory results of arterial blood gas, routine blood and coagulation, blood transfusion, usage of blood product, hospitalization days and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to identify the risk factors for early TIC in patients with severe trauma. Results:Differences in sex, age, injuries to the face, chest and abdomen, GCS, first body temperature and hospitalization days were not statistically significant between the two groups (all P>0.05). The two groups showed statistical differences in the ratio of injuries to head, neck and extremities, ISS, SI, pH value, base excess (BE), lactate, hemoglobin (Hb), platelet (PLT) count (first detection, lowest level), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), plasma fibrinogen (FIB), blood transfusion and usage of blood product and clinical outcomes (all P<0.05). According to the univariate analysis, injuries to the head, neck and extremities, ISS, first body temperature, SI, pH value, BE, lactate, Hb, PLT, APTT, TT and FIB were correlated with the occurrence of early TIC (all P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regressions analysis showed that SI ( OR=1.54, 95% CI 1.10-2.17, P<0.05), PLT ( OR=0.67, 95% CI 0.49-0.91, P<0.05) and FIB ( OR=0.56, 95% CI 0.40-0.78, P<0.01) were significantly correlated with the occurrence of early TIC. Conclusion:For elderly patients with severe trauma, higher SI, lower PLT count and lower concentration of FIB are independent risk factors for the incidence of early TIC.

Objective:
To understand the current situation of trauma treatment and evaluate the training effect and influencing factors of "China Trauma Care Training (CTCT)" by investigating the trainees who participated in the course.
Methods:
A total of 1660 trainees who participated in CTCT training from May 2017 to May 2018 were selected as the subjects of this study. Through questionnaires, the general information (gender, occupation, professional title, discipline source, length of time engaged in trauma treatment), the situation of trauma treatment in their hospitals (hospital level, trauma treatment mode, number of severe trauma cases each year), the recommended model of trauma treatment, learning methods of trauma treatment knowledge, and the trauma training interval were obtained. The trainees took tests before and after the training, and the test results were used to evaluate the training effect and analyze the influencing factors.
Results:
(1) There were 1 230 males (74.10%), 1 356 physicians (81.93%), 1 247 with intermediate title or lower levels (75.12%), 756 from emergency department/emergency surgery (45.54%), and 899 who were engaged in trauma treatment for more than five years (54.16%). (2) There were 1 068 trainees from tertiary hospitals (64.34%). The main mode of severe trauma treatment in hospitals was "emergency+ consultation+ triage" (1 198 trainees, 72.17%). A total of 1014 trainees treated less than 200 severe trauma patients each year (61.08%). A total of 1210 trainees recommended emergency/emergency surgery (72.89%) and 350 trainees recommended trauma surgery/trauma hospital (21.08%) as the main mode of treatment. (3) There were various approaches to acquire trauma treatment knowledge, including 1 029 person-times (61.99%) through department internal guidelines, 924 person-times (55.66%) through case discussion, 879 person-times (52.95%) through self-teaching, 767 person-times (46.20%) through lectures, 382 person-times (23.01%) through trauma courses and 285 person-times through further studies at home and abroad (17.17%). A total of 951 trainees recommended 1-2 years as the training interval (57.3%). (4) The average test score before training was (67.5±14.5)points, which were influenced by the hospital level, discipline source, title of trainees, length of time engaged in trauma treatment, and amount of severe trauma cases each year in their hospitals. The hospital level and discipline source were the main effect factors. (5) The average test score after training was (83.8±11.6)points, which was significantly higher than that before training (

Exosomes (EXOs) are formed by intracellular multivesicular bodies and carry a variety of biomacromolecules such as lipids, proteins, encoding and non-coding RNAs, and mitochondrial DNA. EXOs can be released in vivo by different cell types, including hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, and immune cells and play the role of intercellular communication. More and more studies have shown that EXOs are involved in the development, progression, and prognosis of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and are expected to become potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of HBV-related HCC. This article reviews the role of EXOs in the host infection process of HBV and the importance of EXOs in the development, progression, and prognosis of CHB and HCC, in order to provide new ideas for the basic and clinical research in this field.
