One good practice statement and six expert consensus statements were proposed for plasma and platelet transfusions in critically ill children following severe trauma, traumatic brain injury, and/or intracranial hemorrhage. This article introduces the specific methods and basis for the formation of recommendations in this part of the guide.

Global public health faces substantial challenges from malignant tumors and infectious diseases. Vaccination provides an approach for treating and preventing these diseases. Oral vaccinations are particularly advantageous in disease treatment and prevention due to their non-invasive nature, high patient compliance, convenience, cost-effectiveness, and capacity to stimulate comprehensive and adaptive immune responses. However, the overwhelming majority of oral vaccines remain in experimental development, struggling with clinical and commercial translation due to their suboptimal efficacy. Thus, enhancing scientists' understanding of the interaction between vaccines and gastrointestinal immune system, creating antigen delivery systems suitable for the gut mucosal environment, developing more potent antigenic epitopes, and using personalized combination therapies are critical for advancing the next generation of oral vaccines. This article explores the fundamental principles and applications of current oral anti-tumor and anti-infective vaccines and discusses considerations necessary for designing future oral vaccines.

From the natural-philosophical model of medicine in ancient Greece to the modern bio-psycho-social par-adigm,the evolution of medical models has always been shaped by philosophy.In classical antiquity,medicine and philosophy were closely intertwined;the natural-philosophical model,exemplified by Hippocrates,emphasized the human body as an integrated whole.During the Renaissance,the rise of experimental science challenged traditional philosophical systems and pushed medicine toward empirical investigation.In the late twentieth century,the bio-psycho-social model emerged to address the limitations of the purely biomedical approach.In the twenty-first centu-ry,the advent of artificial intelligence is driving a new transformation in medicine and continually prompting reflec-tion on the future direction of medical models and their underlying philosophical significance.

Objective:To explore the association between postoperative radiotherapy for bladder cancer and the risk of second primary rectal cancer.Methods:Eligible 75 120 patients with bladder cancer from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result database (SEER) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) (1975-2017) were enrolled in this study. The second primary cancers referred to rectal cancers patients suffered after more than five years post-treatment for bladder cancer, and the cumulative incidence was estimated using Fine-Gray competing risk regression. The relative risk (RR) of rectal cancer in patients treated with or without radiotherapy (the RT group or the NRT group) was evaluated using Poisson regression.Results:Among the 75 120 patients, 70 045 (92.4%) were Caucasian, with a median age of 65.8 years (54-74 years). A total of 2 236 (3%) received postoperative radiotherapy, while 72 884 (97%) received surgery alone. The 30-year follow-up revealed a cumulative incidence of rectal cancer of 0.93% in the RT group and 0.43% in the NRT group ( P = 0.004). The competing risk regression analysis identified a significant association between radiotherapy and rectal cancer ( HR: 1.86; 95% CI 1.26-2.74, P < 0.009). Furthermore, the RR of radiotherapy-associated rectal cancer significantly increased as the diagnosis occurred earlier (1975-1985 vs. 1985-1994: RR 2.59; 95% CI 1.20-4.86, P < 0.001), and a lower age at the time of radiotherapy was associated with a higher probability of second primary tumors (≤50-year old vs. > 50 year old : RR 7.89, 95% CI 2.97-21.30, P < 0.001). As calculated using the Poisson distribution, the RR of second rectal tumors was higher in the RT group ( RR: 2.20, 95% CI 1.45-3.18, P < 0.001), even after adjusting the date of diagnosis ( RR: 1.77, 95% CI 1.17-2.57, P = 0.009). Conclusions:An increased risk of rectal cancer following bladder cancer radiotherapy necessitates aggressive follow-ups for the purpose of early detecting second primary rectal cancer associated with bladder cancer radiotherapy.

Objective To develop a self-assessment scale of home volume management for patients with chronic heart failure(CHF),and to test its reliability and validity.Methods With the self-care theory as the theoretical framework,the initial scale was developed through literature analysis,qualitative interview and expert consultation.A questionnaire survey was conducted on 598 patients with CHF who were treated or reviewed in a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou from September 2022 to January 2023 to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results The exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors with the cumulative variance contribution rate of 61.268％.The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the main evaluation indicators were all within the acceptable range of the judgment standard.The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.853 to 1.000;the scale-level content validity index/average was 0.951.The Cronbach's a coefficient,half reliability and retest reliability of the overall scale were 0.930,0.723 and 0.867,respectively.Conclusion The self-rating scale of home volume management for CHF patients has good reliability and validity,and it can effectively assess the level of home volume management for CHF patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of the initial phase of acute osteomyelitis in children with skin and soft tissue infection as the main sign.Methods:The clinical data of 154 children with skin and soft tissue infections as the main sign from July 2017 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to MRI, 48 children with no signs of osteomyelitis and only simple skin and soft tissue infection were included in the non-osteomyelitis group, including 28 boys and 20 girls, aged 38.50 (12.00, 93.00) months; 106 children with acute osteomyelitis with skin and soft tissue infection as the main sign were included in the osteomyelitis group, including 65 boys and 41 girls, aged 49.50 (17.50, 87.00) months. The disease course, maximum body temperature at onset, inflammatory indicators (including white blood cell count, neutrophil count, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate) examined within 24 h after admission were compared between the two groups, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the efficacy of each index in diagnosing osteomyelitis.Results:The white blood cell counts in the non-osteomyelitis group and osteomyelitis group were 13.72 (10.19, 19.19) ×10 9 /L and 14.74 (10.63, 18.67) ×10 9 /L, and the neutrophil counts were 7.79 (5.62, 11.91) ×10 9 /L and 9.58 (5.77, 13.67) ×10 9 /L, the difference was not statistically significant ( Z=-0.68, P=0.495; Z=-1.24, P=0.216). The course of disease in the non-osteomyelitis group and osteomyelitis group was 5.00 (3.00, 7.00) d and 5.50 (4.00, 9.00) d ( Z=-2.03, P=0.042), and the maximum body temperature at the onset of the disease was 38.50 (36.65, 39.00) ℃ and 39.00 (38.50, 40.00) ℃ ( Z=-3.72, P<0.001), C-reactive protein was 23.26 (8.16, 47.67) mg/L and 69.27 (26.28, 111.03) mg/L ( Z=-4.52, P<0.001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 35.00 (24.25, 53.00) mm/1 h and 61.00 (43.00, 78.00) mm/1 h ( Z=-5.06, P<0.001), the differences were statistically significant. The proportion of patients with increased C-reactive protein was 70.8% (34/48) and 92.5% (98/106) in non-osteomyelitis group and osteomyelitis group, the proportion of patients with increased erythrocyte precipitation rate was 81.3% (39/48) and 100% (106/106), and the proportion of patients with fever was 66.7% (32/48) and 100% (106/106), respectively, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=12.61, P<0.001; χ 2=21.11, P<0.001; χ 2=39.43, P<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve of osteomyelitis were 84.0%, 33.3% and 0.602, respectively. The maximum body temperature at onset was 99.1%, 35.4% and 0.687, and the C-reactive protein was 57.6%, 85.4% and 0.728, respectively. Erythrocyte sedimentation rates were 84.0%, 56.3% and 0.755, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the maximum body temperature was >37.6 ℃ [ OR=22.54, 95% CI (2.66, 190.81)] and C-reactive protein was >54.59 mg /L [ OR=4.23, 95% CI (1.63, 11.01)] was an independent risk factor for predicting osteomyelitis with skin and soft tissue infection as the main sign. Conclusion:Compared to simple skin and soft tissue infections, children with osteomyelitis had a higher proportion of fever, elevated C-reactive protein, and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, a longer duration of illness, and higher elevations in temperature, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Length of onset, maximum body temperature at onset, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate had certain diagnostic efficacy in determining the tendency of skin soft tissue infection to osteomyelitis. Maximum body temperature >37.6 ℃ and C-reactive protein >54.59 mg/L may independently predict the possibility of skin soft tissue infection as osteomyelitis, and prompt Magnetic Resonance Imaging is recommended for early diagnosis and treatment in such children.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of a child with mucopolysaccharidoses type I. METHODS: Enzymatic and genetic testing were carried out for the child who was admitted due to contraction of fingers and flexion deformity of lower limbs. The child was subjected to target exome capture sequencing. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing of the child, her parents and two sisters. RESULTS: The child had featured facial dysmorphism, short stature, round head, short neck, corneal turbidity and skeletal deformity. Enzyme test was positive, and genetic testing revealed that she had harbored c.1049delA (p.N350Mfs*4) and c.1815dupT (p.V606Cfs*53) compound heterozygous variants of the IDUA gene, which were inherited from her mother and father, respectively. Her two sisters had each carried one of above variants. c.1815dupT was known to be pathogenic, whilst c.1049delA was not reported in Human Gene Mutation Database. CONCLUSION The compound heterozygous variants of the IDUA gene probably underlay the disease in this child, among which the c.1049delA (p.N350Mfs*4) is unreported previously.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of two different blood transfusion strategies in non-shock stage of sever burn patients, so as to provide reference for clinical rational use of blood. 【Methods】 74 cases of severe burn patients in our hospital from July 2019 to December 2020 were randomly divided into restrictive transfusion group and liberal transfusion group. The differences of blood transfusion volume, red blood cell (RBC) count before and after blood transfusion, Hb value, incidence of transfusion adverse reactions, postoperative infection rate, length of hospital stay, and 30 day mortality between the two groups were retrospectively analyzed. 【Results】 1) The blood transfusion volume of the restricted blood transfusion group [(9.58±7.43)U] was statistically less than that of the liberal blood transfusion group [(22.24±20.08)U] (P<0.05). 2) The increase of Hb per unit of RBC in the restrictive transfusion group [(4.98±3.37)g/L] was higher than that in the liberal transfusion group [(3.28±3.12)g/L], and the difference was statistically significant. (P< 0.05). 3) There were no significant differences in postoperative infection rate, incidence of transfusion adverse reaction, length of stay and 30 day mortality between the two groups (P> 0.05). 【Conclusion】 Limited blood transfusion treatment for severe burn patients in non-shock stage can reduce the frequency and risk of blood transfusion and save blood resources, which is of great significance for rational and safe blood use in clinic.

Objective:To explore the application effect of WeChat-based IIFAR combined with progressive exercise prescription in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) .Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 90 ACS patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University were selected as the research objects from June 2017 to June 2019. The patients were divided into the observation group and the control group, with 45 cases in each group by random number method. Patients in the control group adopted conventional nursing methods, while patients in the intervention group used WeChat-based IIFAR combined with progressive exercise prescription intervention. Coronary Self-Management Behavior Scale (CSMS) , 6 min walking test and exercise load test were used to compare the effects of the intervention.Results:A total of 3 cases in the control group and 1 case in the observation group dropped out. None of the patients had any adverse cardiac events during the study period. The scores of daily life management, social emotional management and medical disease management behaviors of the observation group were higher than those of the control group at 3 months after operation, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Three months after the operation, the 6-min walking distance and maximum exercise load of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:WeChat-based IIFAR combined with progressive exercise prescription can improve the exercise load and self-management behavior of ACS patients after PCI.
