Objective:To investigate the effect of ERMAP on imiquimod(IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice and its related mechanism.Methods:The experimental mice were divided into 3 groups:Sham group,WT group and ERMAP-/-group,with 9 mice in each group.The Sham group was smeared with Vaseline,and the WT group and ERMAP-/-group were smeared with IMQ to induce psoriatic dermatitis.The severity of IMQ-induced psoriasis lesions in mice were evaluated according to the psoria-sis area and severity index(PASI)and the HE staining pathology score.The expressions of F4/80 and Ki67 in mouse skin lesions were observed by immunofluorescence staining.The relative expressions of IL-1β,IL-6,IFN-γ and iNOS in skin lesions were detected by qRT-PCR.Flow cytometry was used to detect the proliferation and activation of T cells and the proportion of macrophages in spleen.Results:In the IMQ-induced mouse model of psoriasis-like dermatitis,the skin lesions of ERMAP gene knock out mice showed more severe squamous accumulation and skin bulge,more inflammatory cells aggregation and cytokine production,and the proportion of immune cells in the spleen of mice increased compared with the WT group,and the proportion of M1 macrophages increased.Conclu-sion:ERMAP deficiency aggravates IMQ-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice by enhancing immune response.

Objective:To investigate whether repeated tirofiban injections can continuously inhibit platelet aggregation in the arterial duct and affect its closure in neonatal canines.Methods:Four 24-month-old pregnant beagles underwent cesarean sections in two batches (two dogs per batch) 1-2 days before the expected delivery date at the Xuzhou Medical University Animal Experiment Center. The first litter of 21 neonates served as the control group (receiving 10 ml/kg normal saline) and were randomly divided into 1-h ( n=7, injected immediately after birth), 4-h ( n=7, injected at 0 h and 2 h after birth), and 12-h subgroups ( n=7, injected at 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, and 10 h after birth). The second litter of 18 neonates served as the experimental group (receiving 10 ml/kg tirofiban) with identical subgroup assignments ( n=6 per subgroup). Echocardiography was performed at 1 h, 4 h, and 12 h after birth to measure arterial duct inner diameter, maximum shunt velocity, and left atrial diameter/aortic root diameter (LA/Ao) ratio. Plasma platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, while platelet membrane glycoprotein Ⅱb-Ⅲa in the arterial duct was assessed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Data were analyzed using t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Chi square tests, or Fisher's exact test. Results:No significant bleeding tendency occurred in either group. Two control neonates (one each in the 4-h and 12-h subgroups) died. In both control and experimental 1-h subgroups, all arterial ducts remained open, with no significant differences in ductal diameter, shunt velocity, or LA/Ao between groups (all P>0.05). In the 4-h subgroups, all experimental neonates had patent ducts arteriosus, while two controls exhibited closure; the experimental group had larger ductal diameters [(1.05±0.05) vs. (0.55±0.44) mm, t=－2.75, P<0.05)] and higher LA/Ao ratios (1.31±0.09 vs. 1.14±0.03, t=－4.90, P<0.05), but lower maximum shunt velocities [(107.06±17.47) vs. (153.74±12.78) cm/s, t=4.54, P=0.002). In the 12-h subgroups, all the controls had closed arterial ducts, while four of six experimental neonates exhibited closure, though the difference in closure rate was not statistically significant (6/6 vs. 4/6, Fisher's exact test, P=0.455). Plasma PDGF and glycoprotein Ⅱb-Ⅲa levels did not differ between two 1-h subgroups (all P>0.05). However, the 4-h and 12-h experimental subgroups showed lower PDGF levels [(373.5±13.1) vs. (880.3±80.2) pg/ml, t=10.81; (356.7±35.0) vs. (1 111.2±125.3) pg/ml, t=9.74; both P<0.05] and reduced glycoprotein Ⅱb-Ⅲa expression (0.32±0.07 vs. 0.80±0.23, t=3.29; 0.42±0.07 vs. 0.92±0.26, t=3.24; both P<0.05) compared to controls. Conclusion:Repeated tirofiban injections sustainably inhibit platelet aggregation in the arterial duct of neonatal canines and delay ductal closure, suggesting that intraductal platelet aggregation may be one factor influencing this process.

Objective: To analyze the occupational health literacy (OHL) level and its influencing factors among key populations in the tertiary industry in Lu'an City, Anhui Province, so as to provide a basis for developing targeted health interventions and improving regional occupational health policies. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select five categories of key populations from the tertiary industry in Lu'an City as study subjects from August to September 2024. Data on gender, age, education level, and OHL were collected through the National OHL Monitoring Questionnaire for Key Populations. The OHL levels were analyzed, and influencing factors of OHL levels among key populations were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 243 individuals were surveyed, comprising 700 (56.32%) males and 543 (43.68%) females. The median age was 42.00 (interquartile range, 17.00) years. There were 609 individuals with OHL, and the OHL level was 48.99%. The OHL levels in fundamental knowledge of occupational health protection, healthy work styles and behaviors, knowledge of occupational health laws, and basic skills for occupational health protection were 84.71%, 60.34%, 43.93%, and 37.09%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that educational level (primary school and below, OR=0.149, 95%CI: 0.064-0.344; junior high school, OR=0.340, 95%CI: 0.184-0.629; high school, OR=0.408, 95%CI: 0.230-0.723), average monthly personal income (3 000-<5 000 yuan, OR=1.655, 95%CI: 1.092-2.508; 5 000-<7 000 yuan, OR=2.195, 95%CI: 1.302-3.699; ≥7 000 yuan, OR=2.062, 95%CI: 1.016-4.183), employer nature (private enterprises, OR=2.992, 95%CI: 1.569-5.443), and industry category (education, OR=3.423, 95%CI: 1.407-8.327; courier / food delivery services, OR=0.459, 95%CI: 0.268-0.787; healthcare, OR=7.539, 95%CI: 3.255-17.461) were statistically associated with the OHL level among key population. Conclusion The OHL level among key population in the tertiary industry of Lu'an City can be further enhanced, with educational level, average monthly personal income, employer nature, and industry category identified as the primary influencing factors.

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 compare the short-term clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction of single-port assisted endoscopic breast-conserving surgery versus open approach in the treatment of female breast cancer patients.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 129 female breast cancer patients admitted to Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University from March 2022 to June 2023. In this study, 56 patients underwent breast-conserving surgery assisted by single-port endoscopy (endoscopic group) and 73 patients underwent conventional open breast-conserving surgery (conventional group).Results:Compared to the conventional group (73 cases), the endoscopic group (56 cases) had slightly longer operation time [(200.0±43.2) min vs. (185.3±56.5) min] and intraoperative blood loss [(34.0±25.4) ml vs. (27.2±21.8) ml, P>0.05]. The endoscopic group had a significantly shorter surgical incision length than the conventional group [(4.7±0.7) cm vs. (8.0±1.1) cm, P<0.05], the difference in postoperative tumor margin was not significant (endoscopic group: 3.5% vs. conventional group: 5.7%, P>0.05). In terms of postoperative complications, the endoscopic group had a significantly lower incidence of radiation-related skin reactions than the conventional group ( P<0.05). The endoscopic group had a higher satisfaction rate in terms of postoperative aesthetics (73.2% vs. 56.2%, P<0.05). Conclusions:The short-term clinical efficacy of breast-conserving surgery for female breast cancer by single-port assisted endoscopy is not inferior to that of conventional open breast-conserving surgery, with added better cosmetic results.

Minimal access breast surgery with the assistance of an endoscopy or robot has been an important advancement in surgical treatment in recent years. Compared to conventional open surgery, minimal access breast surgery only requires small incisions in concealed areas such as axillary fossa, avoiding visible scars on the surface of the breast, significantly improving the postoperative aesthetic appearance and patient satisfaction. With the rapid development of minimal access breast surgery, several institutions have established their own distinctive techniques. The concept of membrane anatomy in the breast, for example, has led to more natural-looking breast reconstruction following endoscopic procedures. The adoption of the reverse space dissection technique has greatly optimized the workflow of endoscopic breast cancer resection. Intraoperative navigation system for endoscopic breast-conserving surgery could allow precise localization of excision margins. Furthermore, the widespread use of the cold dissection technique for flap separation has reduced surgical duration and minimized flap damage. The emergence of unique techniques in the field of minimal access breast surgery promises to further advance and promote the adoption of minimal access breast surgery in China.

Objective:To examine the postoperative prosthesis-related complications, short-term surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction with breast reconstruction between patients who underwent endoscopic assisted versus conventional nipple sparing mastectomy and immediate prothesis breast reconstruction.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 104 women with breast cancer who received nipple sparing mastectomy and immediate prothesis breast reconstruction from August 2021 to August 2022 at the Breast Tumor Center, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University. They were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach. A total of 53 patients, aged (43.3±9.9) years (range: 25 to 66 years), underwent endoscopic nipple sparing mastectomy (E-NSM group) and immediate prothesis breast reconstruction. The other 51 patients aged (39.9±7.8) years (range: 25 to 54 years) underwent conventional open surgery (C-NSM group). Short-term surgical outcomes including operation time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative blood loss, and postoperative drainage volume in 2 days were recorded. Patient satisfaction with breast reconstruction was compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Postoperative prothesis-related complications were investigated to determine the experience to deal with them.Results:No postoperative prosthesis-related infection, prosthesis loss, or necrosis of the nipple-areola complex occurred in the E-NSM group, while 1 patient suffered from hematoma, whose wound was skinned with resuture after disinfection. Five patients in the C-NSM group had prosthesis-related infection, 2 of them received prosthesis removal surgery combined with sufficient antimicrobial agent, another one underwent surgery for subcutaneous placement of the drain, as well as antimicrobial agent therapy, and the rest of them healed up only with antimicrobial agent therapy. All recovered well after treatment. One patient recovered from necrosis of the nipple-areola complex through periodic iodophor disinfection and dressing which ended in improvement of necrotic areas, another patient who had hematoma accepted the same treatment mentioned above and also healed. All the patients mentioned above are now in stable conditions. Patients in the E-NSM group had higher satisfaction with the cosmetic results of the breast prosthesis implant than those in the C-NSM group ( Z=-4.511, P<0.01). Conclusions:Both surgical approaches were proven to be safe and effective with a low rate of postoperative prosthesis-related complications. Patients in the E-NSM group were more satisfied with the cosmetic results of breast reconstruction than those in the C-NSM group.
