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.

Telephone follow-up is one of the important ways to follow up patients. High-quality follow-up can benefit both doctors and patients. However, clinical research-related follow-up is often faced with problems such as time-consuming, laborious and poor patient compliance. The authors belong to a team that has been committed to the study of patient-reported outcomes for a long time. The team has carried out long-term follow-up of symptoms, daily function and postoperative complications of more than 1 000 patients after lung cancer surgery, and accumulated certain experience. In this paper, the experience of telephone follow-up was summarized and discussed with relevant literatures from the aspects of clarifying the purpose of clinical research follow-up, understanding the needs of patients in follow-up, and using follow-up skills.

Objective:To explore the automated external defibrillator (AED) configuration optimization strategy in line with the characteristics of the rapidly developing cities by analyzing the actual coverage of AED in Bao'an District based on the real world data of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City.Methods:The data of cardiac arrest database registered in Bao'an District of Shenzhen City from March 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020 were included in a retrospective observational study. The AED coverage of public and non-public areas was analyzed by calculating the minimum distance between the occurrence place of each OHCA event and the nearest AED. The minimum distance ≤100 m was set as AED coverage, and the minimum distance > 100 m was set as non-AED coverage. It was assumed that one AED was configured for each OHCA hotspot area, then the AED coverage changes were analyzed. Based on the actual situation that the AED in schools, governments, sports venues, subways, tourist attractions and parks of public areas in Bao'an District could not be obtained at any time within 24 hours, it was assumed that all AED in the public areas could be obtained at any time within 24 hours, the impact of AED available at any time on AED coverage was analyzed.Results:A total of 525 cases of OHCA were enrolled. The highest incidence of OHCA was found in residential and industrial areas [54.5% (286/525) and 14.3% (75/525), respectively]. There were 252 AED in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, and 115 OHCA events occurred within the coverage area of AED. Even if all AED met the ideal state that could be obtained at any time within 24 hours, the coverage rate was only 21.9% (115/525). The AED coverage rate of the public areas and non-public areas was 31.6% (37/117) and 19.1% (78/408) respectively, with uneven distribution, and the AED coverage rate of non-public areas was low. Assuming that the residential community and industrial zone with more than 2 OHCA cases were respectively equipped with one AED, the coverage rate of AED in the non-public areas increased from 19.1% (78/408) to 28.2% (115/408), basically meeting the requirement that AED could be obtained at any time when OHCA events occurred. Some AED in the public areas of Bao'an District were not available at any time within 24 hours. If the ideal state that all AED in the public area could be obtained at any time within 24 hours could be achieved, the AED coverage rate of all regions increased from 16.8% (88/525) to 21.9% (115/525), the AED coverage rate of the public areas increased from 29.1% (34/117) to 31.6% (37/117), the AED coverage rate of the non-public areas increased from 13.2% (54/408) to 19.1% (78/408).Conclusions:AED configuration in Bao'an District was unevenly distributed, and the coverage rate of AED in non-public areas was low. The allocation strategy for AED in fast-growing cities like Shenzhen should be as follows: on the premise of ensuring AED availability for 24 hours, priority should be given to covering the number of AED in the non-public areas including residential communities and industrial zones; AED is available in the public areas for 24 hours.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with high mortality and disable rate is a public health problem of common concern all over the world. In order to improve the survival rate of OHCA, developed countries such as Europe and the United States have established regional and even national OHCA registration database for continuous monitoring and quality improvement of OHCA, identifying the weaknesses in each link of the survival chain, and evaluating effective measures to enhance the survival rate. At present, China still lacks of registration database that can comprehensively collect the information of OHCA and effectively reflect the treatment status and research direction of OHCA. In order to shorten the huge gap of OHCA survival rate between China and developed countries such as Europe and the United States, we should learn from the experience of foreign registration databases and establish OHCA registration database suitable for China's national conditions, so as to promote the improvement of OHCA survival rate in China. This paper presents several major OHCA registry databases of the internationally recognized, such as cardiac arrest registry to enhance survival (CARES), resuscitation outcomes consortium (ROC), European registry of cardiac arrest (EuReCa), Pan-Asian resuscitation outcomes registry (PAROS), and Australian resuscitation outcome consortium (Aus-ROC), aims to provide a reference for promoting the construction of the cardiac arrest registration database in China.

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) strategies in COVID-19 patients differ from those in patients suffering from cardiogenic cardiac arrest. During CPR, both healthcare and non-healthcare workers who provide resuscitation are at risk of infection. The Working Group for Expert Consensus on Prevention and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Cardiac Arrest in COVID-19 has developed this Chinese Expert Consensus to guide clinical practice of CPR in COVID-19 patients. Main recommendations: 1) A medical team should be assigned to evaluate severe and critical COVID-19 for early monitoring of cardiac-arrest warning signs. 2) Psychological counseling and treatment are highly recommended, since sympathetic and vagal abnormalities induced by psychological stress from the COVID-19 pandemic can induce cardiac arrest. 3) Healthcare workers should wear personal protective equipment (PPE). 4) Mouth-to-mouth ventilation should be avoided on patients suspected of having or diagnosed with COVID-19. 5) Hands-only chest compression and mechanical chest compression are recommended. 6) Tracheal-intubation procedures should be optimized and tracheal-intubation strategies should be implemented early. 7) CPR should be provided for 20-30 min. 8) Various factors should be taken into consideration such as the interests of patients and family members, ethics, transmission risks, and laws and regulations governing infectious disease control. Changes in management: The following changes or modifications to CPR strategy in COVID-19 patients are proposed: 1) Healthcare workers should wear PPE. 2) Hands-only chest compression and mechanical chest compression can be implemented to reduce or avoid the spread of viruses by aerosols. 3) Both the benefits to patients and the risk of infection should be considered. 4) Hhealthcare workers should be fully aware of and trained in CPR strategies and procedures specifically for patients with COVID-19.

In December 2019, novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and spread rapidly across the country. In the early stages of the epidemic, China adopted the containment strategy and implemented a series of core measures around this strategic point, including social mobilization, strengthening case isolation and close contacts tracking management, blocking epidemic areas and traffic control to reduce personnel movements and increase social distance, environmental measures and personal protection, with a view to controlling the epidemic as soon as possible in limited areas such as Wuhan. This article summarizes the background, key points and core measures in the country and provinces. It sent prospects for future prevention and control strategies.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of oridonin on hyperoxia-induced lung injury (HALI).Methods:A total of 46 SD rats were randomly divided into control group ( n=7), HALI group ( n=13), Nec-1 (necroptosis inhibitor) group ( n=13), and oridonin group ( n=13). Rats were exposed to pure oxygen for 6 h at 0.25 MPa to induce HALI. Then the rats were intraperitoneally injected with 1 mg/kg Nec-1 or 10 mg/kg Oridonin, 30 min before hyperoxia exposure. Rats were sacrificed at 24 or 48 h after the end of hyperoxia exposure. Lung injury was assessed by histological examination, lung wet-to-dry ratio (W/D), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) examinations, assessments of oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in the lung; lung tissues were also collected for the detection of RIP1, RIP3, and MLKL protein expressions by Western blotting and evaluation of the interaction between RIP1 and RIP3. Results:As compared with the control group, hyperoxia exposure resulted in significant lung injury and increase in the number of necroptosis positive cells, which were accompanied by the elevated expressions of RIP1, RIP3 and MLKL in the lung. As compared with the HILI group, intraperitoneal injection of oridonin could improve lung injury to a certain extent, inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory factors, reduce the necroptosis positive cells [HALI group: 64.7±6.5 (RIP1), 46.3±5.4 (RIP3); Nec-1 group: 39.4±4.8, 26.6±4.0; Oridonin group: 36.9±5.4, 27.1±3.9], decrease the expressions of RIP1, RIP3, and MLKL, and down-regulate the interaction between RIP1 and RIP3.Conclusion:This study indicates that the lung protective effect of oridonin on HALI may be related to its inhibitory effect on necroptosis in the lung.

Objective To investigate the clinical characters and treatment strategies of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in children and adolescent.Methods The clinical data of 75 cases of thyroid carcinoma in children and adolescents(≤ 18 years old)from Jan.2004 to Mar.2017 in the First Hospital of China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Clinical pathology characters and prognosis between patients ＜13 years old (group A) and those ≥ 13 years old (group B) were compared.Results There were 74 cases with papillary carcinoma and 1 with follicular carcinoma.The rate of lateral neck lymph node metastasis(100％ vs 54.5％,x2=6.818,P=0.025) and bilateral location (55.6％ vs 18.2％,x2=6.311,P=0.037) in group A were higher than in group B.There were no significant differences in central lymph nodes metastasis (88.9％ vs 69.7％,x2=1.758,P=0.420),gender composition ratio (22.2％ vs 31.8％,x2=0.343,P=0.841),extra-thyroid extension (33.3％ vs 18.2％,x2=1.136,P=0.534),distant metastasis(11.1％ vs 1.5％,x2=2.810,P=0.566) and recurrent disease(25％ vs 7.8％,x2=1.141,P=0.183) between the two groups.Conclusions Papillary carcinoma is the most common pathology type in children and adolescent thyroid carcinoma.Patients＜13 years old are more likely to present lateral neck lymph node metastasis and bilateral location.

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of combined detection of serum angiopoietin 2 (Ang-2) and Clara cell protein 16 (CC16) in the early diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods: Two hundred critical patients, treated at the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Bao'an District People's Hospital, Shenzhen during March 2015 and September 2016,were included in the study. According to the Berlin standard, patients were divided into two groups (n=100 each group): the ARDS group and non-ARDS group.The serum levels of Ang-2 and CC16 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on the first and second day of admission for each patient, in addition to completing APACHEⅡ score, medical history, vital signs collection and other biochemical indicators detection. Finally, paired-samples t test was used to analyze the data. The multiple ROC curve was used to calculate the area under the curve of the reference index of the serum levels of Ang-2 and CC16 on the first and second day. Results: On the first and second day, the serum levels of Ang-2 and CC16 were significantly higher in ARDS patients than those in non-ARDS patients, and there was a correlation between the serum levels of Ang-2 and CC16 in ARDS patients. The ROC curve showed that the combined detection of Ang-2 and CC16 on the first day achieved a highest sensitivity of 75.9% and detection of CC16 on the first day achieved a highest specificity of 70.2%. Conclusion Single-detection of serum levels of Ang-2 and CC16 could be used for early diagnosis of ARDS, and the combined detection of both has a higher sensitivity than single detection.
