Objective:To investigate the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of 7 patients with non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep induced by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).Methods:The clinical and electrophysiological data of 7 patients with SSRI drug-related NREM excessive eye movement admitted to Sleep Center, Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, from June 2021 to May 2022 were summarized.Results:Seven patients ranged in age from 10 to 76 years (median 34 years), and four were female. Four patients were diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and three patients were diagnosed with narcolepsy (one patient was comorbidized with periodic limb movement disorder). Sertraline was used in 4 patients, fluoxetine in 1 patient, escitalopram in 1 patient, and paroxetine hydrochloride in 1 patient. SSRI drug-related excessive eye movement in NREM stage was detected in all patients, which was characterized by coexistence of slow eye movement and fast eye movement, and eye movement density in stage 1 was greater than that in stage 2. All patients had sleep structure disorder, increased proportion of NREM phase 1 sleep and a large number of micro-awakenings.Conclusions:During SSRI drug use, some patients have characteristic abnormal eye movement in NREM, mostly in NREM 1 and 2 sleep, which should be distinguished from normal rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of Shenqi Tangluo pill （SQTLP） on oxidative stress injury of skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） mice based on nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）/NAD（P）H quinone oxidoreductase 1 （NQO1） pathway. MethodA total of 60 7-week-old male db/db mice ［specific pathogen-free （SPF） grade］ were selected and fed for one week for adaption. They were divided into the model control group， SQTLP low-， medium- and high-dose （19， 38， and 76 g·kg^-1） groups and metformin group （0.26 g·kg^-1） by gavage. Each group consisted of 12 mice. Twelve male db/m mice of the same age were selected as the blank group. The intervention was implemented continuously for 8 weeks. Fasting blood glucose （FBG） was detected. Fasting serum insulin （FINS） levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， and the homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance （HOMA-IR） index and the homeostasis model assessment-insulin sensitivity index （HOMA-ISI） were calculated. Oral glucose tolerance test （OGTT） and insulin tolerance test （ITT） were conducted. The activities of superoxide dismutase （SOD） and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） and the contents of malondialdehyde （MDA） and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate （NADPH） in skeletal muscle tissues were detected by biochemical kits. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological changes in skeletal muscle tissues. The levels of reactive oxygen species （ROS） and 4-hydroxynonenal （4-HNE） in skeletal muscle tissue were detected by immunofluorescence （IF）. The expression levels of Nrf2， HO-1， NQO1 and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit （GCLC） proteins in skeletal muscle tissues were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with those in the blank group， FBG， FINS and HOMA-IR in the model group were significantly increased （P<0.05）， while HOMA-ISI was decreased （P<0.05）. The results of OGTT and ITT showed that blood glucose was significantly increased at all time points （P<0.05）， and glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance were significantly impaired. SOD and GSH-Px activities in skeletal muscle tissues were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and MDA and NADPH contents were significantly increased （P<0.05）. In skeletal muscle tissues， the arrangement of muscle fibers was loose， the nucleus was disordered， and inflammatory cells were infiltrated. The expression levels of ROS and 4-HNE in skeletal muscle tissues were significantly increased （P<0.05）. The protein expression levels of Nrf2， HO-1， NQO1 and GCLC in skeletal muscle tissues were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with those in the model group， FBG， FINS and HOMA-IR in the metformin group were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while HOMA-ISI was increased （P<0.05）. The results of OGTT and ITT showed that blood glucose in the metformin group was significantly decreased at all time points （P<0.05）. The activities of SOD and GSH-Px in skeletal muscle tissues were significantly increased （P<0.05）， while the contents of MDA and NADPH were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. No obvious abnormality was found in the skeletal muscle tissue of the metformin group. The expressions of ROS and 4-HNE in skeletal muscle tissues were decreased （P<0.05）. The protein expression levels of Nrf2， HO-1， NQO1 and GCLC in skeletal muscle tissues were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with those in the model group， FBG， FINS and HOMA-IR in the SQTLP medium- and high-dose groups were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while HOMA-ISI was increased （P<0.05）. The results of OGTT and ITT showed that the glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance of mice were improved in each dose group of SQTLP. The GSH-Px activity in the SQTLP low-dose group was significantly increased （P<0.05）， and the NADPH content was decreased （P<0.05）. The activities of SOD and GSH-Px in the SQTLP medium- and high-dose groups were significantly increased （P<0.05）， while the contents of MDA and NADPH were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. The skeletal muscle tissue injury of mice in each dose group of SQTLP was ameliorated to different degrees. In the SQTLP medium- and high-dose groups， the expressions of ROS and 4-HNE were decreased （P<0.05）， and the protein expression levels of Nrf2， HO-1， NQO1 and GCLC were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with those in the SQTLP low-dose group， FBG and HOMA-IR in the SQTLP high-dose group were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while HOMA-ISI was increased （P<0.05）. The results of OGTT and ITT showed that the SQTLP high-dose group significantly improved the glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance of mice. The activities of SOD and GSH-Px in skeletal muscle tissues were significantly increased （P<0.05）， while the contents of MDA and NADPH were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. No obvious abnormality was found in the skeletal muscle tissue， the expressions of ROS and 4-HNE were decreased （P<0.05）， and the protein expression levels of Nrf2， HO-1， NQO1 and GCLC were significantly increased （P<0.05） in the skeletal muscle tissue of the SQTLP high-dose group. ConclusionSQTLP can significantly improve IR in T2DM mice， and the mechanism is related to SQTLP activating the Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway， promoting the expression of antioxidant enzymes， and thus improving the oxidative stress injury in the skeletal muscle.

Objective To explore the characteristics and diagnostic significance of ultrasound signs in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in children.Methods This study focused on 81 children with acute appendicitis and divided them into two groups based on pathological examination results:34 children with severe progressive appendicitis(41.98%)and 47 children with simple appendicitis(58.02%).By analyzing the indirect and direct signs of ultrasound detection,as well as pathological examination data,and using ROC curve analysis to analyze the area under the curve(area under curve,AUC)of ultrasound signs combined,a comprehensive analysis is conducted to score the ultrasound examination results of children.Results The detection rates of wall continuity interruption/low-level clarity,intraluminal fluid accumulation,periappendiceal or abdominal fluid accumulation,periappendiceal hyperechogenicity,cecal and ileal wall thickening in the advanced group were higher than those in the simple group(P<0.05);The scores of indirect,direct,and combined ultrasound signs in the progressive group were higher than those in the simple group(P<0.05);Under the ROC curve,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of combined signs were 98.77%,97.53%,98.77%,and 96.30%,respectively,higher than those of indirect signs and direct signs.The AUC was 0.835,higher than those of indirect signs and direct signs(P<0.05).Conclusion The combined diagnosis of ultrasound examination signs can provide objective evidence for the early diagnosis of acute appendicitis in children,and can also achieve dynamic monitoring of the disease,which is conducive to the formulation of clinical treatment plans.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.

Objective:To explore whether multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) combined with 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT can improve the detection efficiency of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Methods:Clinical and imaging data of 152 patients (age (68.5±8.5) years) who underwent mpMRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT examination for suspected prostate cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University from January 2021 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, with the histopathological results from transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy as reference. Lesions with Gleason scores (GS) ≥3+ 4 from the biopsy were diagnosed with csPCa, and lesions with negative biopsy or GS 6 were diagnosed with non-csPCa. MpMRI was evaluated independently by two radiologists according to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2.1. The radioactive uptake of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in prostate lesions was evaluated by SUV max. The independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare differences between the two groups, and then multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. ROC curves analysis was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacies of individual and combined factors and Delong test was used. Results:There were 85 csPCa and 67 non-csPCa confirmed. Prostate specific antigen (PSA), PI-RADS score and SUV max were significantly different between the csPCa group and the non-csPCa group ( χ2=68.06, U values: -7.66, -8.98, all P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that PI-RADS score (odds ratio ( OR)=3.424, 95% CI: 1.651-7.100) and SUV max ( OR=1.931, 95% CI: 1.403-2.658) were independent predictors of csPCa (both P<0.001). ROC curves analysis revealed that the cut-off value for diagnosing csPCa was 4 for PI-RADS score and 5.6 for SUV max. The accuracy of mpMRI and PET/CT alone in csPCa diagnosis was 80%(122/152) (AUC of 0.789(95% CI: 0.711-0.866) with the sensitivity and specificity of 91%(77/85) and 67%(45/67)), and 87%(132/152) (AUC of 0.876(95% CI: 0.817-0.936) with the sensitivity and specificity of 81%(69/85) and 94%(63/67)), respectively. Several joint models incorporating 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT with mpMRI data were investigated, the model of PI-RADS 5 or PI-RADS 3-4 and SUV max>5.6 showed better performance than mpMRI and PET/CT alone and other joint models ( z values: 2.01-3.64, all P<0.05), with the accuracy of 91%(138/152) (AUC of 0.910(95% CI: 0.857-0.962) with the sensitivity and specificity of 89%(76/85) and 93%(62/67)). Conclusion:MpMRI combined with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT can significantly improve the detection efficiency of csPCa, with the principal effect being improved in risk stratification of PI-RADS 3-4 lesions in mpMRI.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the common malignancies in China, which has the characteristics of insidious onset, strong invasiveness, high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Its incidence is increasing year by year, and it has become the fifth malignancy that seriously threatens human health. The clinical symptoms of HCC are not typical, which makes it difficult to screen through conventional examinations. Patients are mostly in the advanced stage of HCC when they visit the hospital due to discomfort, bringing adverse effects on the treatment and prognosis of HCC. The malignant transformation of liver cirrhosis-HCC is a transitional stage from benign lesions to malignant lesions, involving proliferative lesions of tumor cells. If the cause is clear and removed in time or appropriate treatment is carried out, it is possible to stop this malignant transformation and prevent the occurrence of HCC. Currently, there is a lack of specific indicators for diagnosing precancerous lesions of HCC, and it is urgent to find more reliable diagnostic methods. Herein, the research results of the pathogenesis and diagnostic biomarkers of HCC in recent years at home and abroad were summarized through concluding related mechanisms of malignant transformation of liver cirrhosis-HCC and potential biomarkers for early diagnosis, aiming to provide a more intuitive theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of HCC in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the effect of laser engraving personalized nasal patch applied to patients with nasal catheter indentation.Methods A total of 124 patients who underwent esophageal cancer surgery in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from February 2022 to February 2023 and required indwelling nasal catheter were selected as study objects,and were divided into experimental group and control group according to random number table method,with 62 cases in each group.The control group used conventionally cut nasal patches to fix the nasal catheters,and the experimental group used laser engraved personalized nasal patches.Catheter displacement or slippage under the fixation device,nasal patch rolled edges and number of replacement,nasal medical device-related pressure injury,medical adhesive-related skin lesions and patients'comfort were observed in two groups.Results The rate of catheter displacement,number of rolled edges of nasal patches and numbers of replacement in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The incidence of nasal mucosal indentation,nasal pain,nasal pressure injury and medical adhesive related skin lesions in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The comfort of patients at the physiological level of experimental group was significantly better than that of control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Laser engraved personalized nasal patches can reduce the frequency of clinical nasal catheter displacement,nasal patch rolled edges and number of replacement,reduce the occurrence of nasal medical device related pressure injuries and medical adhesive-related skin lesions,and increase patients'comfort.

Objective To explore the effect of UBE2I and FCGR1A gene expressions on the incidence of acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)combined with active pulmonary tuberculosis(APTB),so as to provide basis for disease monitoring.Methods A total of 98 AIDS patients combined with APTB and 84 AIDS patients combined with latent tuberculosis infection(LTBI)were selected from the validated whole genome transcriptome dataset(GSE37250).The top 30 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)in the two groups of patients were screened.We established the PPI interaction network,transcription factor-differentially expressed gene(TF-DEG),DEG-miRNA,and environmental chemical regulation network of the top 30 DEGs.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves of 11 key DEGs were plotted and Logistic regression analysis was performed.Results There were 6 054 DEGs in the two groups of patients,and UBE2I was an important core node of the PPI interaction network.FCGR1A had the best predictive and indicative ability for AIDS combined with APTB.Univariate Logistic regression showed that high expressions of UBE2I and FCGR1A were risk factors for AIDS combined with APTB(P＜0.05).The regulatory network showed that VEGFB was a key gene in the TF-DEG network,participating in regulation with transcription factors such as SEPT9 and SMAD5.It targeted miRNAs such as hsa-mir-17-5p and hsa-mir-20a-5p,and was affected by environmental chemicals such as valproic acid and copper sulfate.Conclusion VEGFB plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AIDS combined with APTB.The abnormally high expressions of UBE2I and FCGR1A are associated with the disease progression of AIDS combined with APTB.The disease condition can be monitored by detecting the expression level of UBE2I and FCGR1A.

Objective To explore the changes in early serum calcium,serum phosphorus,and calcium-phosphorus product levels in patients with fractures and analyze their correlation with the fracture site.Methods 1 049 patients with fractures admitted to Sichuan Province Orthopedic Hospital from January 2021 to November 2023 were selected as the research subjects.According to the fracture location,they were roughly divided into two groups:upper body fracture(n=478)and lower body fracture(n=571).Carefully divided into ten groups:vertebral fracture(n=108),clavicle fracture(n=109),upper limb fracture(n=106),hand fracture(n=104),femoral neck fracture(n=103),femoral intertrochanteric fracture(n=106),patella fracture(n=101),lower limb fracture(n=103),foot fracture(n=105)and other fractures(n=104).Another 110 cases of healthy physical examination people during the same period were selected as the control group.Venous blood was drawn from all patients twice on the day of emergency within 24 to 48 hours after admission,serum calcium and serum phosphorus were measured,and the calcium-phosphorus product was calculated.Compare the changes in the levels of the three and analyzed their correlation with the fracture site.Results Compared with the control group,the serum calcium(2.27±0.12 mmol/L,2.19±0.12 mmol/L vs 2.35±0.10mmol/L),serum phosphorus(1.00±0.20mmol/L,1.08±0.19mmol/L vs 1.15±0.15mmol/L),and calcium-phosphorus product(28.10±6.00mg/dl,29.30±5.85mg/dl vs 33.41±4.87mg/dl)of fracture patients were all reduced on the day of emergency and 24 to 48 hours after admission,and the differences were statistically significant(t=6.804,12.501;7.475,3.722;8.964,7.115,all P＜0.01).Comparing upper and lower body fractures,serum calcium,serum phosphorus,and calcium-phosphorus product on the emergency day was lower in lower body fracture than in upper body fracture(t=4.129,5.931,6.660,all P＜0.01),24 to 48 hours after admission,only the serum calcium and calcium-phosphorus product were lower in lower body fracture than in upper body fracture(t=6.432,1.990,all P＜0.05),and the differences were statistically significant,respectively.Comparing along the time axis,24 to 48 hours after admission compared with the emergency day,both upper and lower body fractures showed a decrease in serum calcium and an increase in serum phosphorus(t=12.779,-5.730;16.919,-14.358),calcium-phosphorus product only increased in lower body fracture(t=-8.860),and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.01),respectively.Compared with the day of emergency,24 to 48 hours after admission for patients with fractures in different parts,except for vertebral fracture,serum calcium in the other nine groups decreased(t=6.233～11.349,all P＜0.01),except for upper limb fracture and hand fracture,the serum phosphorus in the other eight groups increased(t=-7.770～-3.327,all P＜0.01),the calcium-phosphorus product of vertebral fracture,femoral neck fracture,femoral intertrochanteric fracture,lower limb fracture,foot fracture,and other fractures increased(t=-5.819～-2.927,all P＜0.01),and the differences were statistically significant,respectively.Conclusion The serum calcium,serum phosphorus,and calcium-phosphorus product of patients with fractures all decreased on the day of emergency.24 to 48 hours later,the serum calcium of most patients continued to decrease while the serum phosphorus and calcium-phosphorus product gradually increased.The degree of change in their levels was related to the fracture site.
