Precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) are a group of pathological changes caused by abnormalities in the structure, morphology, and differentiation of gastric mucosal epithelial cells. Since the early symptoms are hidden and non-specific, PLGC is not easy to be diagnosed and it has often developed into intermediate or advanced gastric cancer once being diagnosed and missed the best time for treatment. Accordingly, the incidence of this disease is increasing year by year, which lifts a heavy burden on the patients. The pathogenesis of PLGC is complex, involving inflammatory microenvironment, bile reflux, glycolysis, autophagy, and apoptosis. Currently, PLGC is mainly treated with anti-inflammatory and endoscopic therapies, which are difficult to curb the development of PLGC. Therefore, seeking a safe and effective therapy is an important topic of modern research. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), characterized by treatment based on syndrome differentiation and a holistic view, exerts effects via multiple pathways, mechanisms, and targets. Recent studies have confirmed that TCM can regulate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR), Wnt/β-catenin, Sonic Hedgehog, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), neurogenic locus notch homolog protein (Notch), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and other signaling pathways. By targeting these pathways, TCM can inhibit aerobic glycolysis, reduce oxidative stress, repair the inflammatory microenvironment, regulate cellular autophagy, and promote vascular normalization, thereby delaying or reversing PLGC. However, few researchers have systematically summarized the TCM regulation of PLGC-associated pathways. By reviewing the relevant articles at home and abroad, this paper summarized the roles of the above signaling pathways in the development of PLGC and the research progress in the regulation of signaling pathways by TCM in the treatment of PLGC, with a view to providing a new theoretical basis for the clinical research on PLGC and the drug development for this disease.

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.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers in the world, with hidden symptoms, complex pathogenesis, high morbidity, high mortality, and poor prognosis. As one of the classical apoptosis pathways, mitochondrial apoptosis has been widely described in the apoptosis escape by GC cells. Mitochondrial apoptosis can regulate the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of GC cells via oxidative stress, cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial translocation and other mechanisms, and it is one of the potential targets of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) intervention to restore the mitochondrial function in GC. The theory of spleen-mitochondria in correlation explains that spleen deficiency and cancer toxin are the root causes of mitochondrial apoptosis. Accordingly, the TCM treatment should follow the basic principle of invigorating spleen to restore healthy Qi and removing cancer toxin to eliminate the root cause. Mitochondrial apoptosis can be promoted by inhibiting oxidative stress, promoting cell cycle arrest, and reducing mitochondrial membrane potential. This therapy can improve the energy metabolism, restore the mitochondrial structure and function, and prevent the occurrence and development of GC, with mild side effects and low drug resistance. However, the mechanism of mitochondrial apoptosis in GC and the target of TCM intervention in GC have not been systematically reviewed. Therefore, this paper systematically summarized the effects of mitochondrial apoptosis on the occurrence and development of GC and the role of TCM in the treatment of GC by intervening in mitochondrial apoptosis, aiming to provide a theoretical reference for the treatment and further research of GC.

This study analyzed the outcome index and related design elements of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of children with tic disorder (TD) in the past ten years, so as to provide a basis for the construction of the core index set of TCM in the treatment of children with TD. Eight databases were searched, including four English databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library) and four Chinese databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc), as well as ClinicalTrials.gov and China Clinical Trial Registry. The search time was limited to from January 1, 2013 to October 29, 2023. RCTs on the TD in children treated with TCM were collected. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and literature quality evaluation and summarized clinical outcome indexes and related trial design elements through qualitative analysis. A total of 67 RCTs were included, including 63 outcome indexes, with a total frequency of 348 times. The related outcome indexes could be divided into six categories: 12 symptom/sign indexes with a frequency of 134 (38.5%), seven TCM symptom/syndrome indexes with a frequency of 31 (8.9%), 33 physical and chemical examination indexes with a frequency of 97 (27.9%), four safety indexes with a frequency of 67 (19.3%), three long-term prognostic indexes with a frequency of 14 (4.0%), and one kind of quality-of-life evaluation index (0.3%). Currently, the RCTs research design of TCM in the treatment of TD in children has not yet formed a unified standard, and there are many problems in the quality of methodology, which reduces the authenticity and reliability of clinical conclusions. There are problems with clinical outcome indexes, such as significant quantity differences, unclear primary and secondary outcome indexes, unreasonable alternative indexes, non-standard TCM syndrome types and TCM evaluation indexes, lack of economic evaluation indexes, and less attention to long-term prognostic indexes and safety indexes. It is suggested that the researchers should design a more rigorous trial scheme and reasonably design the outcome index which is in line with the clinical trial efficacy evaluation of TCM, so as to construct the core index set with the characteristics of TCM for the treatment TD in children.

Objective:To study the effect of related laboratory indexes such as glycosylated hemoglobin on the occurrence of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to construct a nomogram model.Methods:The clinical data of 203 patients with 2 diabetes mellitus from May 2020 to April 2022 in Quzhou Hospital, Zhejiang Medical and Health Group were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 64 patients had no diabetic complications (control group), and 139 patients had diabetic complications (complication group). The clinical data of the two groups were recorded, and the related influencing factors of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes were analyzed; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predicting value of significant indexes for the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes; multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes; R language software 4.0 "rms" package was used to construct the nomogram model for predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes, the calibration curve was internally validated, and the decision curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the nomogram model.Results:The hypertension rate, hyperlipemia rate, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in complication group were significantly higher in those in control group: 44.60% (62/139) vs. 20.31% (13/64), 48.92% (68/139) vs. 25.00% (16/64), (5.42 ± 0.68) years vs. (4.84 ± 0.51) years, (12.60 ± 2.80) mmol/L vs. (10.20 ± 1.90) mmol/L, (16.50 ± 3.10) mmol/L vs. (12.50 ± 2.90) mmol/L and (9.62 ± 1.33)% vs. (7.96 ± 0.85)%, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in gender composition, age, body mass index, smoking rate, drinking rate, albumin and creatinine between the two groups ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve of the course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin for predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes were 0.725, 0.752, 0.830 and 0.861, respectively; the optimal cut-off values were 5 year, 11.8 mmol/L, 15.1 mmol/L and 9.23%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were independent risk factors of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes ( OR = 1.563, 1.692, 1.451, 1.703, 1.506 and 1.805; 95% CI 1.268 to 1.689, 1.483 to 1.824, 1.215 to 1.620, 1.402 to 1.903, 1.303 to 1.801 and 1.697 to 1.926; P<0.05). The hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were used as predictors to construct a nomogram model for predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. Internal validation result showed that the nomogram model predicted the complications with good concordance in patients with type 2 diabetes (C-index = 0.815, 95% CI 0.796 to 0.843); the nomogram model predicted the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes at a threshold >0.18, provided a net clinical benefit, and all had higher clinical net benefits than hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. Conclusions:The nomogram model constructed based on hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin has better clinical value in predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency in the treatment of overactive bladder(OAB).Methods:A prospective, multicenter, non-randomized controlled trial was conducted. Eligible patients were divided into test group and control group in Zhejiang Provincial People’Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, and Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2019 to June 2020. Inclusion criteria: patients diagnosed with OAB, and bladder capacity>100ml. Exclusion criteria: pregnant and lactating women; patients with secondary OAB symptoms such as urinary tract obstruction; patients with uncontrolled urinary tract infection within 1 week; patients in stable stage by using other treatment methods; patients implanted with any nerve stimulator, cardiac pacemaker or implantable defibrillator; patients with malignant tumors, serious cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases, renal insufficiency or received BTX treatment in recent 12 months. The patients were allocated to test group and the control group in a ratio of 2∶1 according to the time sequence of the visit. The patients in the test group were treated with radiofrequency treatment. After entering the group, they were treated for 4 times at the 1st, 2nd, 7th and 8th week respectively. In the control group, the energy was turned off during the radiofrequency treatment. The patients were followed-up every week until the end of the 12th week. The treatment success rate [the average frequency of urination in 24 h was reduced more than 50% from the baseline or returned to the normal (≤8 times/day) or the average frequency of urgent urination in 24 h was reduced more than 50% from the baseline], the frequency of urination, urgent urination and nocturnal urination before and after treatment, the residual urine volume of the bladder, the quality of life (QOL) score and the occurrence of catheter related adverse events in two groups were compared.Results:114 patients were enrolled in the study, including 76 patients in the test group and 38 patients in the control group. There were no significant differences in the age [(44.2±12.8) vs. (41.7 ± 12.1) years old], male female ratio (13/63 vs. 4/34), average course of disease [2.0(1.2, 5.0) vs. 2.0 (1.0, 4.0) years], the frequency of urination[12.8 (10.6, 16.8) vs. 12.8 (10.3, 17.0) times], urgency urination [11.8(9.3, 15.8) vs. 11.8 (9.0, 17.0) times], nocturia [2.7 (1.3, 3.7) vs. 2.3(0.7, 3.3) times], residual urine volume of bladder [12.0 (3.0, 28.0) vs. 14.0 (3.7, 20.0) ml ] and the QOL score [5.0(4.0, 5.0) vs. 4.0(4.0, 5.0)]before the treatment between the two groups ( P>0.05). The treatment success rate in the test group was 76.3% (58/76), while 26.3% (10/38) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). There were significant differences between the test group and control group in the frequency of urination [9.7 (7.7, 12.0) vs. 12.9 (9.6, 15.7) times], urgent urination [7.3 (5.0, 10.0) vs. 11.7 (7.3, 15.3) times], nocturia [1.3 (0.7, 2.0) vs. 1.7 (1.0, 3.0) times] and the QOL score of the patients[3.0(1.0, 3.0) vs. 4.0(3.0, 4.5)]after the treatment(all P<0.05). The frequency of urination, urgency urination, nocturia, the residual urine volume and the QOL score in the test group were significantly improved ( P<0.05) after the treatment.The frequency of urination, nocturia, residual urine volume and the QOL score in the control group were improved ( P<0.05) after the treatment. 13 (11.4%) patients had catheter related adverse events. In the test group and the control group, there were 7 cases of macroscopic hemorrhage caused by the placement of instruments (5/76 vs. 2/38), 5 cases of acute urinary tract infection within 3 days (3/76 vs. 2/38), and 1 case of instrument breakage (catheter breakage) (0/76 vs. 1/38). There were no significant differences in the adverse events between the two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:Radiofrequency treatment of OAB can effectively improve the symptoms of patients, improve the QOL of patients, and has low incidence of adverse events, with good efficacy and safety.

Objective:
To investigate the characteristics of volunteer blood donors with regular apheresis platelets in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into recruitment of regular blood donors.
Methods:
Gender, age, occupation, educational level, and volume and times of blood donation were collected from volunteer blood donors with apheresis platelets in Zhoushan Central Blood Station during the period from 2019 to 2021 through the Zhejiang Provincial Blood Management Information System BIS version 3.0, and the willingness of blood donation, routes for acquiring blood donation knowledge and cause of blood donation were collected from volunteer blood donors with regular apheresis platelets using questionnaire surveys. The factors affecting regular apheresis platelets were identified among volunteer blood donors using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 236 volunteer blood donors participated in regular apheresis platelets in Zhoushan City from 2019 to 2021, accounting for 51.08% of all volunteer blood donors with regular apheresis platelets, and there were 1 488 blood donations, accounting for 71.23% of all volunteer blood donations with apheresis platelets. A total of 2 086.00 U platelets were donated, accounting for 71.82% of all volumes of volunteer blood donations with apheresis platelets. The volunteer blood donors included 160 men (67.80%) and 76 women (32.20%) and had an age of 35 (17) years. There were 63 employees (26.69%) and 111 with a bachelor degree and above (47.03%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed a high proportion of regular blood donations among participants at ages of 31 to 60 years (OR:1.767-3.257, 95%CI: 1.010-6.250), university students (OR=2.598, 95%CI: 1.238-5.450) and civil servants (OR=2.733, 95%CI: 1.193-6.263). There were 228 participants with willingness to continue to participate in volunteer blood donation with regular apheresis platelets (96.61%), and 215 participants with a history of participating in volunteer blood donation surveys (91.10%). Internet was the predominant route for acquiring knowledge about apheresis platelet donation (41.10%), and “think that blood donation is a meaningful thing” was the predominant cause of participating in volunteer apheresis platelet donation (33.05%).
Conclusions
There is a high proportion of regular blood donation among civil servants and university students.

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.
