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 establish an optimal limiting dose for dose limiting rings placed in the anterior and posterior regions of the neck for reducing head and neck lymphedema under intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)for early nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)from a dosimetric perspective.Method Fifteen newly diagnosed early-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who underwent CT localization for radiotherapy at the Cancer Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January to September 2022 were included in the study.Each case was designed with five sets of radiotherapy plans.Plan A consisted of conventional unlimited-field plans,while Plans B-E consisted of limited-field plans with dose constraints set at 20,18,16,and 14 Gy,respectively,with the remaining parameters consistent with Plan A.The impact on target coverage and organ-at-risk constraints was evaluated through variance analysis and pairwise multiple comparisons using a randomized block design to determine the optimal dose limits.Results The gradient of 16Gy was determined as the optimal dose limiting cutoff point for achieving the balance between target coverage and organ limiting dose.Compared with the conventional plan,The plans with the placement of a cervical anterior and posterior dose limiting ring(16Gy)did not change the target dose coverage(P>0.05),but only yielded a slight change in the homogeneity index(P<0.05).It did not cause any changes of the dosage in the inner ear,mandible,and brainstem(all P>0.05),but lead to statisti-cally significant reductions in the oral cavity,throat,and thyroid(all P<0.05).It caused a slight increase of the dose in the parotid gland and spinal cord(both P<0.05),but the increased dose was anyhow within the tolerance range.Conclusion The dosimetric investigation determines an optimal dose limit cutoff point for the cervical ante-rior and posterior dose limiting rings.It is expected to provide a design method for IMRT plans to reduce head and neck lymphedema after radiotherapy for early NPC.

Objective:To observe the application effect of mind mapping combined with interactive communication mode in clinical teaching of neurosurgery.Methods:A total of 40 students who practiced in the Department of Neurosurgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from September 2019 to September 2020 were included in the control group, and traditional teaching was adopted; another 40 students who practiced from October 2020 to October 2021 were included in the observation group, and mind mapping combined with interactive communication mode was adopted for teaching. The two groups of students were taught for 2 weeks, and after the teaching, the teaching effect was compared between the two groups. SPSS 25.0 software was used to conduct t-test and Chi-square test. Results:After 2 weeks of teaching, the scores of theoretical knowledge (90.38±4.03) and practical operation skills (93.37±3.48) in the two groups were higher than those before teaching [(85.52±5.26) and (87.25±4.48)], with statistically significant differences ( t=4.63, 6.83, P<0.001). The case analysis score of the two groups was higher than that before teaching, and that of the observation group (86.03±6.07) was higher than that of the control group (79.13±5.57), with statistically significant differences ( t=5.30, P<0.001). The scores of interpersonal communication ability and cooperation ability of the two groups were higher than those before teaching. The scores of interpersonal communication ability (82.53±4.74), cooperation ability (169.73±7.55) of the observation group were higher than those of the control group [(77.93±4.45) and (158.42±8.01)], with statistically significant differences ( t=4.48, 6.49, P<0.001). Conclusion:Mind mapping combined with interactive communication mode can effectively improve the clinical basic knowledge and clinical practice ability of interns in the Department of Neurosurgery, and improve their communication and cooperation ability.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Gancao Fuzitang （GCFZ）in inhibiting the bone destruction of collagen-induced arthritis （CIA） model in mice. MethodThirty male DBa/1J mice were randomly divided into normal group， CIA group， low-dose GCFZ group （GCFZ-L， 2.4 g·kg^-1）， high-dose GCFZ group （GCFZ-H， 4.8 g·kg^-1）， and methotrexate group （MTX， 1 mg·kg^-1）， with six mice in each group. The CIA model was induced by secondary immunization method. The arthritis index of mice in each group was observed and recorded， and the histopathological changes in ankle joint were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The damage to ankle cartilage was detected by safranin O-fast green staining. Micro-CT scanning was used to detect the bone destruction of ankle joint， and the expression of nuclear factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65）， p-NF-κB p65， inhibitory-κB kinase α/β （IKKα/β）， and p-IKKα/β was observed by immunohistochemical staining. ResultCompared with the normal group， the CIA group showed manifest joint swelling and increased arthritis index score （P<0.01）. Compared with the CIA group， the groups with drug intervention could inhibit joint swelling and reduce arthritis index score （P<0.05， P<0.01）. As revealed by HE staining and safranine O-green staining， compared with the CIA group， the groups with drug intervention could inhibit synovial invasion and reduce the destruction of articular cartilage. Micro-CT scanning analysis showed that compared with the CIA group， the GCFZ-H group and the MTX group showed reduced bone destruction scores （P<0.01）. The immunohistochemical results showed that compared with the normal group， the CIA group showed increased optical density values of NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， IKKα/β， and p-IKKα/β（P<0.01）. Compared with the CIA group， the GCFZ-H group and the MTX group showed reduced optical density values of NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， IKKα/β， and p-IKKα/β（P<0.05，P<0.01）. In the GCFZ-L group， only the NF-κB p65 optical density value decreased（P<0.01）. ConclusionGCFZ may inhibit bone destruction in CIA mice by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and treatment of perioperative anemia in patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms in Hubei Province. Methods: The clinicopathological data of 7 474 patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms in 62 hospitals in 15 cities (state) of Hubei Province in 2019 were collected in the form of network database. There were 4 749 males and 2 725 females. The median age of the patients was 62 years (range: 17 to 96 years). The hemoglobin value of the first time in hospital and the first day after operation was used as the criterion of preoperative anemia and postoperative anemia. Anemia was defined as male hemoglobin <120 g/L and female hemoglobin <110.0 g/L, mild anemia as 90 to normal, moderate anemia as 60 to <90 g/L, severe anemia as <60 g/L. The t test and χ² test were used for inter-group comparison. Results: The overall incidence of preoperative anemia was 38.60%(2 885/7 474), and the incidences of mild anemia, moderate anemia and severe anemia were 25.09%(1 875/7 474), 11.37%(850/7 474) and 2.14%(160/7 474), respectively. The overall incidence of postoperative anemia was 61.40%(4 589/7 474). The incidence of mild anemia, moderate anemia and severe anemia were 48.73%(3 642/7 474), 12.20%(912/7 474) and 0.47%(35/7 474), respectively. The proportion of preoperative anemia patients receiving treatment was 26.86% (775/2 885), and the proportion of postoperative anemia patients receiving treatment was 14.93% (685/4 589). The proportions of preoperative anemia patients in grade ⅢA, grade ⅢB, and grade ⅡA hospitals receiving treatment were 26.12% (649/2 485), 32.32% (85/263), and 29.93% (41/137), and the proportions of postoperative anemia patients receiving treatment were 14.61% (592/4 052), 22.05% (73/331), and 9.71% (20/206). The proportion of intraoperative blood transfusion (16.74% (483/2 885) vs. 3.05% (140/4 589), χ²=434.555, P<0.01) and the incidence of postoperative complications (17.78% (513/2 885) vs. 14.08% (646/4 589), χ²=18.553, P<0.01) in the preoperative anemia group were higher than those in the non-anemia group, and the postoperative hospital stay in the preoperative anemia group was longer than that in the non-anemia group ((14.1±7.3) days vs. (13.3±6.2) days, t=5.202, P<0.01). Conclusions: The incidence of perioperative anemia in patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms is high. Preoperative anemia can increase the demand for intraoperative blood transfusion and affect the short-term prognosis of patients. At present, the concept of standardized treatment of perioperative anemia among gastrointestinal surgeons in Hubei Province needs to be improved.

Objective:To explore the effect of Duanteng Yimu decoction （DTYM） on the activation of the human umbilical vein endothelial cell （HUVEC） model and the effect on related activated proteins and vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） signaling pathway. Method:After DTYM （200， 400 g·mL^-1） treatment of HUVEC induced by VEGF and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， cell proliferation， migration， and tubulogenesis were detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay， 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine （EdU） assay， transwell migration assay， phalloidin staining， and matrix gel card method. The mRNA expression of adhesion factors， including E-selectin， intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1）， and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 （VCAM-1） was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. The expression of von Willebrand factor （VWF）， platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-31 （CD31）， angiogenic factor cysteine-rich-61 （CYR61）， angiopoietin-1 （ANG-1）， VEGF， and VEGF receptor-2 （VEGFR2） was detected by Western blot. Immunofluorescence was used to determine CD31 expression. Result:Compared with the normal group， the model group showed potentiated proliferation， migration， and tubulogenesis of HUVEC （P<0.05， P<0.01）， elevated mRNA expression of E-selectin， ICAM-1， and VCAM-1 （P<0.01）， up-regulated protein expression of VWF， CD31， ANG-1， CYR61， VEGF-α， and phospho （p）-VEGFR2 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and increased CD31 immunofluorescence intensity （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the DTYM groups displayed blunted proliferation， migration， and tubulogenesis of HUVEC （P<0.05， P<0.01）， decreased mRNA expression of E-selectin， ICAM-1， and VCAM-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， down-regulated protein expression of VWF， CD31， ANG-1， CYR61， VEGF-α， and p-VEGFR2 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and weakened CD31 immunofluorescence intensity （P<0.01）. Conclusion:DTYM inhibits HUVEC proliferation， migration， adhesion， and tubulogenesis， which is associated with the regulation of CD31， VWF， CYR61， and ANG-1 expression in HUVEC and the VEGF signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of Duanteng Yimu decoction （DTYM） in the inhibition of pannus formation in collagen-induced arthritis （CIA） mice. Method:Twenty-four SPF-grade DBA/1 male mice were randomly divided into the following four groups： a blank group （NC group）， a model group （CIA group）， a methotrexate group （MTX group）， and a DTYM group， with six mice in each group. The mice， except for those in the NC group， were modeled. From the second immunization， the medium， MTX （1 mg·kg^-1）， and DTYM （15.4 g·kg^-1） were administered at an equal volume by gavage for 35 days. Mice were observed for general condition and the arthritis index. The knee and ankle joints were scanned by microcomputed tomography （micro CT）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and safranin O/fast green staining were performed to observe pathological changes. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 （CD31）， vascular endothelial growth factor-α （VEGF-α）， vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 （VEGFR2）， and phosphorylated（p）-VEGFR2. Result:Compared with the NC group， the CIA group showed red and swollen ankle joints， increased arthritis index scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）， manifest injury in the knee and ankle joints， reduced cartilage thickness， elevated Micro CT bone destruction scores of knee and ankle joints （P<0.01）， and up-regulated absorbance values of synovial CD31， VEGF-α， VEGFR2， and p-VEGFR2 （P<0.01）. Compared with the CIA group， the DTYM group showed relieved ankle joint redness and swelling， reduced arthritis index scores of mice three weeks after administration （P<0.05， P<0.01）， intact joint surfaces of the knee and ankle joints， thickened cartilage， declining Micro CT bone destruction scores in both the knee and ankle joints （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and lowered absorbance values of CD31， VEGF-α， VEGFR2， and p-VEGFR2 in the synovium （P<0.01）. Conclusion:DTYM can inhibit the pannus formation in CIA mice presumedly by regulating the VEGF pathway.

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.

Based on the ITS2 and psbA-trnHsequences, molecular biological identification and genetic relationship of Fritillaria cirrhosa with its relative species were carried out. In this paper, the PCR-RFLP method specified by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia was performed on all samples at first. Secondly, the ITS2 and psbA-trnH sequences of all samples were amplified. Then, the amplified products were used to analyze the genetic distance, construct the phylogenetic tree, assess the identification efficiency, and evaluate the genetic relationship as well. The result showed that all the samples were divided into two groups by PCR-RFLP method. The samples in the first group, including Fritillaria ussuriensis, Fritillaria thunbergii and Fritillaria pallidiflora, could not be digested by SmaI, while the other samples in the second group, including Fritillaria mellea, Fritillaria sinica, Fritillaria cirrhosa var. ecirrhosa Franch, Fritillaria unibracteata var. longinectarea and Fritillaria cirrhosa, could be digested by SmaI. Then, ITS2 and psbA-trnH sequences of all samples were obtained. The length of various ITS2 sequences were distributed from 235 to 239 bp, and the average intra- and inter-specific genetic distance were 0.001 and 0.022, respectively. NJ tree showed that all samples were separated into "Northern Fritillaria" group (Fritillaria ussuriensis and Fritillaria pallidiflora) and "Southern Fritillaria" group (Fritillaria thunbergii, Fritillaria mellea, Fritillaria sinica, Fritillaria cirrhosa var. ecirrhosa Franch, Fritillaria unibracteata var. longinectarea and Fritillaria cirrhosa). The latter group could be further divided into Fritillaria thunbergii and Fritillaria cirrhosa subgroup, and the species in Fritillaria cirrhosa subgroup had close phylogenetic relationships. The length of psbA-trnH sequences was distributed from 337 to 373 bp, and the intra- and inter-specific genetic distance were 0.263 and 0.329, respectively. The samples in this paper could not be clustered effectively by NJ tree. This indicated that the ITS2 sequences were not only able to identify Fritillaria cirrhosa with its partial relative species quickly and accurately, but also clarify the relationship between different Fritillaria species. Therefore, it provided an important theoretical foundation for the development of molecular markers, effective protection, and rational development and utilization of Fritillaria resources.
