Hearing loss is the most prevalent disabling disease. Cochlear implantation（CI） serves as the primary intervention for severe to profound hearing loss. This consensus systematically explores the value of genetic diagnosis in the pre-operative assessment and efficacy prognosis for CI. Drawing upon domestic and international research and clinical experience, it proposes an evidence-based medicine three-tiered prognostic classification system（Favorable, Marginal, Poor）. The consensus focuses on common hereditary non-syndromic hearing loss（such as that caused by mutations in genes like GJB2, SLC26A4, OTOF, LOXHD1） and syndromic hereditary hearing loss（such as Jervell & Lange-Nielsen syndrome and Waardenburg syndrome）, which are closely associated with congenital hearing loss, analyzing the impact of their pathological mechanisms on CI outcomes. The consensus provides recommendations based on multiple round of expert discussion and voting. It emphasizes that genetic diagnosis can optimize patient selection, predict prognosis, guide post-operative rehabilitation, offer stratified management strategies for patients with different genotypes, and advance the application of precision medicine in the field of CI.

Loss-of-function variants in CSDE1 have been strongly linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, yet the precise role of CSDE1 in neurogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that knockout of Csde1 during cortical development in mice results in impaired neural progenitor proliferation, leading to abnormal cortical lamination and embryonic lethality. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Csde1 upregulates the transcription of genes involved in the cell cycle network. Applying a dual thymidine-labelling approach, we further revealed prolonged cell cycle durations of neuronal progenitors in Csde1-knockout mice, with a notable extension of the G1 phase. Intersection with CLIP-seq data demonstrated that Csde1 binds to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA transcripts encoding cell cycle genes. Particularly, we uncovered that Csde1 directly binds to the 3' UTR of mRNA transcripts encoding Cdk6, a pivotal gene in regulating the transition from the G1 to S phases of the cell cycle, thereby maintaining its stability. Collectively, this study elucidates Csde1 as a novel regulator of Cdk6, sheds new light on its critical roles in orchestrating brain development, and underscores how mutations in Csde1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders.

With the growing emphasis on maternal and child oral health, the significance of managing oral health across preconception, pregnancy, and infancy stages has become increasingly apparent. Oral health challenges extend beyond affecting maternal well-being, exerting profound influences on fetal and neonatal oral development as well as immune system maturation. This expert consensus paper, developed using a modified Delphi method, reviews current research and provides recommendations on maternal and child oral health management. It underscores the critical role of comprehensive oral assessments prior to conception, diligent oral health management throughout pregnancy, and meticulous oral hygiene practices during infancy. Effective strategies should be seamlessly integrated across the life course, encompassing preconception oral assessments, systematic dental care during pregnancy, and routine infant oral hygiene. Collaborative efforts among pediatric dentists, maternal and child health workers, and obstetricians are crucial to improving outcomes and fostering clinical research, contributing to evidence-based health management strategies.

Objective:To analyze the related factors of treatment failure in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)in real-world.Methods:The clinical data of 1414 newly diagnosed children with ALL admitted to five hospital in Fujian province from April 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Treatment failure was defined as relapse,non-relapse death,and secondary tumor.Results:Following-up for median time 49.7 (0.1-136. 9)months,there were 269 cases (19.0％)treatment failure,including 140 cases (52.0％)relapse,and 129 cases (48.0％)non-relapse death.Cox univariate and multivariate analysis showed that white WBC≥50 ×109/L at newly diagnosis,acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL),BCR-ABL1,KMT2A-rearrangement and poor early treatment response were independent risk factor for treatment failure (all HR>1.000,P<0.05).The 5-year OS of 140 relapsed ALL patients was only 23.8％,with a significantly worse prognosis for very early relapse (relapse time within 18 months of diagnosis).Among 129 patients died from non-relapse death,71 cases (26.4％)were died from treatment-related complications,56 cases (20.8％)died from treatment abandonment,and 2 cases (0.7％)died from disease progression.Among them,treatment-related death were significantly correlated with chemotherapy intensity,while treatment abandonment were mainly related to economic factors.Conclusion:The treatment failure of children with ALL in our province is still relatively high,with relapse being the main cause of treatment failure,while treatment related death and treatment abandonment caused by economic factors are the main causes of non-relapse related death.

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 investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of miR-34a/SIRT1 in intensive care unit acquired weakness(ICU-AW).Methods(1)C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle cells were induced to differentiate into myotubes,and were divided into two groups:model group[ICU-AW group,treated with lipopolysaccharides(LPS)for 12 hours]and normal control group(treated with the same amount of sterile water for 12 hours).Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression level of Muscle ring finger 1(MuRF-1),atrophy gene 1(Atrogin-1)and Sirtuin-1(SIRT1).RT-qPCR was used to assess the mRNA expression level of microRNA-34a(miR-34a),MuRF-1,Atrogin-1 and SIRT1,and light microscope was used to observe the growth and differentiation of C2C12 skeletal muscle cells in each group.(2)ICU-AW cells were further subdivided into control group(treated with siRNA transfection agent intervention),Scra siRNA group(treated with transfection agent and non-specific siRNA),miR-34a siRNA group(treated with transfection agent and specific siRNA intervention),vehicle group(treated with agonist solvent dimethyl sulfoxide)and SRT1720 group(treated with SIRT1 agonist SRT1720).Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression level of SIRT1,Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 in each group.RT-qPCR was used to detect the miR-34a and the mRNA expression level of SIRT1,Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 in each group.(3)In addition,another group of ICU-AW cells were divided into control group(treated with siRNA transfection),miR-34a siRNA group(treated with transfection agent and specific siRNA intervention),miR-34a siRNA+vehicle group(treated with transfection agent,specific siRNA and Dimethyl sulfoxide intervention)and miR-34a siRNA+EX-527 group(treated with transfection agent,specific siRNA and SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527).Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression level of Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1.RT-qPCR was used to assess the mRNA expression level of Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1.Results Myotube differentiation was observed on the 4th day.Compared with control group,myotube atrophy was obvious in ICU-AW group.RT-qPCR and Western blotting results revealed that,compared with normal control group,in ICU-AW group,the mRNA and protein expression levels of Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 significantly increased(P＜0.05),and the expression level of miR-34a significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the mRNA and protein expression levels of SIRT1 significantly decreased(P＜0.05).RT-qPCR results showed that,compared with control group(treated with siRNA transfection agent intervention)and Scra siRNA group,the expression of miR-34a and mRNA expression of Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 in miR-34a siRNA group significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while the mRNA expression of SIRT1 significantly increased(P＜0.05),meanwhile the protein expression of Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 decreased significantly(P＜0.01),and the protein expression of SIRT1 significantly increased(P＜0.05).RT-qPCR results also showed that,compared with vehicle group,the mRNA expression of Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 in SRT1720 group decreased significantly(P＜0.05),while SIRT1 increased significantly(P＜0.05).Western blotting results demonstrated that,compared with control group and Scra siRNA group,the protein expression of Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 in miR-34a siRNA group decreased significantly(P＜0.05),while SIRT1 increased significantly(P＜0.05).RT-qPCR and Western blotting results indicated that,compared with miR-34a siRNA+vehicle group,the mRNA and protein expression of Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1 in miR-34a siRNA+EX-527 group increased significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion Overactivation of miR-34a in ICU-AW contributes to skeletal muscle atrophy by inhibiting the expression of SIRT1,which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of ICU-AW.

Objective To measure the distance between the lateral compression Ⅱ(LC-Ⅱ)screw guide needle and the surrounding important structures around the anterior inferior iliac spine in pelvic fractures and to locate the needle point,so as to provide anatomical reference for clinical nail placement.Methods Totally 40 adult gross specimens of embalming were implanted with LC-Ⅱ screw guide needle under the surveillance of C-arm machine,and the specimens were dissected.The shortest distance between the insertion point and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve,femoral nerve,femoral artery,femoral vein,anterior superior iliac spine and inguinal ligament was measured.The triangle was constructed between the insertion point,anterior superior iliac spine and inguinal ligament,and the exact location of the entry point was calculated.Results The average distance between the insertion point of the male needle and the femoral vein was(50.67±7.29)mm＞the anterior superior iliac spine(43.83±7.58)mm＞the femoral artery(38.35±6.63)mm＞the femoral nerve(31.17±1.67)mm=the inguinal ligament(28.69±6.59)mm＞the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve(7.98±3.81)mm.The mean distance between the insertion point of the female needle and the anterior superior iliac spine was(45.28±7.07)mm=femoral vein(43.72±6.89)mm＞femoral artery(33.76±6.33)mm＞femoral nerve(25.66±6.46)mm=inguinal ligament(23.22±5.00)mm＞lateral femoral cutaneous nerve(8.97±4.76)mm.The projection distance of the entry point was 31.77 mm for men and 38.41 mm for women.The Angle b was 42.81°for men and 31.71° for women.Conclusion The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is most vulnerable to injury when LC-Ⅱ screw is inserted,and the risk of injury has nothing to do with sex.The insertion point positioning method a and b made LC-Ⅱ screw placement quickly,safely and accurately,and reduced fluoroscopy time and frequency.
