Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) combined with sodium hyaluronate solution for facial microdroplet injection in improving facial skin photoaging.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. From January to July 2024, patients with facial photoaging problems were recruited from the Plastic Surgery Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and randomly divided into a monotherapy group (sodium hyaluronate solution droplet injection) and a combination therapy group (BTX-A + sodium hyaluronate solution droplet injection) by hierarchical block randomization method. The treatment regimen was 3 months, with one treatment for each month, with a total of 3 treatment. The combination therapy group only used a combination therapy of two drugs (BTX-A 25 U+ 5 ml sodium hyaluronate solution) during the first injection. During the three treatments of the monotherapy group and the second and third treatments of the combination therapy group, 5 ml of sodium hyaluronate solution was injected as the solo ingredient. Follow up was conducted at 1, 2, and 4 months after the last treatment. Serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were detected by test kit. Five skin texture indicators (moisture content, transepidermal water loss rate, elasticity, glossiness, and pH) were evaluated using the German CK skin tester. VISIA skin detector was used for facial two-dimensional photography and skin condition analysis. Clinical efficacy (significant improvement, obvious improvement, improvement, no improvement) and global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) scores on a 5-point scale were recorded. Patient satisfaction levels (very satisfied, satisfied, and dissatisfied) were investigated. The data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 software. Count data was presented as examples and(or) percentages, and analyzed using a chi-square test. Normal distribution measurement data was represented by Mean±SD and analyzed using t-test. Results:A total of 100 patients were included, with 50 cases in each group. There were 17 males and 33 females in the monotherapy group, with an age of (31.3±7.1) years, and there were 5, 14, 29 and 2 patients in the Ⅰ to Ⅳ types of Glogau skin photoaging classification, respectively. There were 15 males and 35 females in the combination therapy group, with an age of (32.1±8.4) years old, and there were 4, 15, 27 and 4 patients in the Ⅰ to Ⅳ types of Glogau skin photoaging classification, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in gender composition, age, and Glogau skin photoaging classification between the two groups (all P>0.05). One month after the first treatment, both groups showed an increase in SOD activity and a decrease in MDA levels, with more significant changes observed in the combination therapy group ( P<0.01 for both). At the follow-up of 1, 2, and 4 months after the last treatment, the combination therapy group outperformed the monotherapy group in all 5 skin texture indicators (all P<0.05). One month after the last treatment, the total effective rate of the combination therapy group was 76.0% (38/50), which were significantly higher than that of the monotherapy group’s 50.0% (25/50) ( P<0.05); in addition, the combination therapy group showed significant advantages in facial aesthetic GAIS scores, as well as patient satisfaction, with a satisfaction rate of up to 98.0% (49/50), which was higher than the 88.0% (44/50) of the monotherapy group ( P<0.01). Throughout the entire treatment process, neither group experienced serious adverse reactions. Conclusion:Facial microdroplet injection of BTX-A combined with sodium hyaluronate solution effectively improves symptoms of facial skin photoaging, enhancing skin hydration and elasticity, reducing transepidermal water loss, improving skin gloss, regulating skin pH, and enhancing skin antioxidant capacity, ultimately achieving facial skin rejuvenation. This method is safe, effective and holds high clinical relevence and patient satisfaction.

Objective To investigate the relationship between circadian sleep-wake biorhythm and prognosis in patients with middle cerebral artery acute ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 71 patients with acute ischemic stroke of middle cerebral artery were selected as the case group,and 67 patients without acute ischemic stroke and cerebrovascular stenosis were selected as the control group.According to the modified Rankin score at discharge,patients with acute ischemic stroke were subdivided into the good prognosis group(53 cases)and the poor prognosis group(18 cases).General clinical data of patients were collected,and differences of circadian rhythm,daytime sleep-wake rhythm,nighttime sleep-wake rhythm and circadian sleep-wake rhythm indexes were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze prognostic factors of acute ischemic stroke in middle cerebral artery.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of relevant variables.Results Age,male ratio,hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,smoking and drinking history were significantly higher in the case group than those in the control group.Daytime stability(IS)in the case group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Daytime total sleep time,wake time after falling asleep,light sleep period,deep sleep period,non-rapid eye movement(NREM)sleep period,rapid eye movement(REM)sleep period and the proportion of deep sleep period,the proportion of REM sleep period were higher in the case group than those of the control group,while the REM sleep latency and the proportion of light sleep period were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The total sleep time,wake time,light sleep period,NREM sleep period and REM sleep period were higher in the case group than those of control group,while the proportion of sleep latency and REM sleep period were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The proportion of increased circadian sleep,increased daytime sleep and low sleep efficiency at night were higher in the case group than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that daytime REM sleep was a prognistic factor in middle cerebral artery acute ischemic stroke.During daytime REM sleep,the area under ROC curve(AUC)was 0.705,the sensitivity was 0.811 and the specificity was 0.611.Conclusion After acute ischemic stroke of middle cerebral artery,the circadian sleep-wake rhythm is unbalanced,which is manifested as poor daytime stability,increased daytime sleep,increased circadian sleep and low sleep efficiency at night.Daytime REM sleep has predictive value for prognosis of acute ischemic stroke of middle cerebral artery.

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.

Background Individual monitoring of occupational external exposure is an essential part of the occupational health management of radiation workers, and is an important basis for the evaluation of individual absorbed dose and the diagnosis of occupational radiation diseases. Continuous participation of monitoring service providers in intercomparison is a fundamental quality assurance for routine monitoring, which can identify problems and improve them in time. Objective Taking the Laboratory of Radiation Protection in Shanghai Institute of Preventive Medicine as an example, to evaluate the performance of an individual occupational external dose monitoring system in the laboratory, identify influencing factors of the monitoring results, and provide a basis for improving the quality of daily monitoring by analyzing the process and results of a national intercomparison of individual dose monitoring. Methods According to the Testing criteria of personnel dosimetry performance for external exposure (GBZ 207-2016), and the relevant requirements of Class II (photon) inspection, a total of 20 groups of blind sample dosimeters were measured for four consecutive years from 2018 to 2021. The radiation energy source of each group was identified, and related personal dose equivalent H_p(10), the uncertainty of measurement results, and the deviation between the reported value and the reference value were calculated. The national intercomparison process and results of individual dose monitoring were also analyzed. Results The energy sources of the blind samples in the tested laboratory for four years were N100 or Cs-137. The reported dose values of the blind samples were 0.57-4.61 mSv, the combined uncertainties were 0.043-0.365 mSv, the expanded uncertainties (k=2) were 0.09-0.73 mSv, and the relative expanded uncertainties (k=2) were 13.8%-16.4%. The single-group performance ∣P_i∣ of 20 sets of blind samples in the four years was ≤0.10, the yearly comprehensive performance of 5 sets of blind samples was ≤0.10, and the yearly Q score of the test report was >15 points. The laboratory achieved excellent results in the national intercomparison of individual dose monitoring in four consecutive years, except the Q value not reaching full score. Conclusion The laboratory exhibits standardized data processing of individual dose monitoring, generates accurate and reliable results, and meets the requirements of relevant national standards; but it should continue to participate in the national intercomparison of individual dose monitoring, strengthen the angular response research of energy identified dosimeter, improve the monitoring ability of low-dose X-rays, analyze the key points of reducing the uncertainty of measurement results, and continuously improve the monitoring ability.

Objective:To construct back propagation (BP) neural network model to predict the dose required for 131I therapy for hyperthyroidism and to calculate the personalized dose plan for patients. Methods:A complete set of data of patients treated for hyperthyroidism radioaiodine was collected from the nuclear medicine departments of several medical colleges in Shanghai, including history, examination result, treatment course, etc. As a result, a prediction model was established. The predicated result for BP neural network, radial basis function (RBF) neural network and Support Vector Machine (SVM) were compared by means of small sample data. The optimal model was selected to predict administrated dose and to finally test the accuracy of the model.Results:The average errors in BP neural network, RBF neural network and SVM model based on small samples were 5.53%, 7.09% and 9.64%, respectively. After comparison, BP neural network was selected to build the prediction model. 30 cases of data were selected by random sampling to verify the BP neural network. The mean error, mean square error, minimum error and maximum error of the prediction result were 7.22%, 0.053, 0.57% and 13.78%, respectively.Conclusions:In this study, a neural network prediction method was proposed to provide a more accurate dose for patients in need of radioiodine therap for hyperthyroidism, and to reduce the possibility of radiation damage or the unsatisfactory therapeutic effect caused by insufficient dose. It has clinical practical significance in providing the reference for clinicians to evaluate the administrated dose.
