Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is a common autoimmune disease with synovitis as core pathological manifestation,with strong injury and high disability rate,which can not be cured completely at present.Recent studies have shown that tumor necro-sis factor receptor-related factor 6(TRAF6),as a ubiquitin ligase E3,plays a key role in autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases through a variety of pathways.This article reviews structure,function,ubiquitin regulation of TRAF6 and research progress of pathogenesis of RA.

Malignant hyperthermia(MH)is a rare perioperative disease with autosomal dominant inheritance,and its pathogenesis involves specific gene mutations.Its clinical feature is that conventional anesthetics can trigger abnormally high metabolic reactions in skeletal muscles.Although the incidence of this disease is low,the condition is dangerous,progresses rapidly,and has a high mortality rate;Its treatment relies on early diagnosis,timely application of the specific drug Dantrolene Sodium,and rapid and orderly comprehensive symptomatic supportive treatment.MH is a critical perioperative emergency that can occur during surgery.It presents with symptoms such as hyperpyrexia,metabolic acidosis,rhabdomyolysis,and dysfunction of multiple organ systems.If not treated promptly,it can quickly lead to life-threatening arrhythmias and cardiac arrest.This condition serves as an essential teaching example in anesthesia crisis resource management.As an effective teaching method,scenario simulation exercises can comprehensively enhance medical staff's personal technical,non-technical,and teamwork abilities through simulating emergency scenarios,teaching assessments,and retrospective discussions,especially suitable for comprehensive management training of fatal diseases.Many countries internationally have incorporated simulation exercises for MH into their routine teaching and training systems.The effectiveness of teaching and training for anesthesiologists in MH and their ability to handle anesthesia crisis events have been continuously improved through a periodic training model.This article systematically reviews the research progress and practical experience of scenario simulation exercises in emergency training for MH,with a focus on exploring how to establish a scenario simulation exercise plan for emergency application and comprehensive symptomatic support treatment of Dantrolene Sodium based on the actual situation in China,providing reference for improving the teaching and training quality of MH and other clinical crisis events.

OBJECTIVE To observe the current status and influencing factors for the water contamination of humid-ification tanks of ventilators of the patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation.METHODS Totally 139 hu-midified water samples were collected from the patients who received invasive mechanical ventilation in The First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from Jul.2024 to Nov.2024.The humidified water samples were collected,cultured and identified on Day 1,3,5 and 7 after humidification tanks replacement.RESULTS Among the 139 samples,25 were tested positive for pathogens,with the positive test rate 17.99%;the positive test rate was highest(33.33%,8/24)in respiratory intensive care unit.The positive test rate was 12.90%on Day 1,18.42%on Day 3,15.00%on Day 5 and 26.67%on Day 7,showing an upward trend.The result of bacterial culture showed that the percentage of isolated Burkholderia cepacia was highest(36.00%).The result of analysis of the related factors for positive test of humidified water samples showed that the sample adding pattern was as-sociated with the isolation rate(P<0.05).Only 1 case was diagnosed with ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP)after the humidified water was detected with pathogens and varied in the pathogens.CONCLUSIONS There is an association between the status of water contamination of the ventilator humidification tanks and usage duration of humidification tank.It is necessary to attach great importance to the contamination of humidification tanks,carry out standard management,and implement the prevention and control measures in an all-round way.

Objective To investigate the correlation between thyroid hormone(TH)sensitivity and diabetic kidney disease(DKD)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 949 T2DM patients with normal thyroid function were selected from the National Standardized Metabolic Disease Management Center database of our hospital between May 2020 and October 2024.All the patients were divided into DKD group(n=466)with urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR)≥30 mg/g and simple T2DM group(n=483)with UACR<30 mg/g.Free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4),thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),thyroid feedback quantification index(TFQI),thyroid stimulating hormone resistance index(TT4RI),thyroid stimulating hormone index(TSHI),FT3/FT4 were compared between the two groups.Results Body mass index(BMI),DM duration,subcutaneous fat area(SFA),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinine(Scr),UACR,TSHI and FT4 were higher(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while FT3,TFQI was lower in DKD group than in T2DM group(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that TT4RI was positively correlated with Scr(P<0.05),and FT3/FT4 was negatively correlated with UACR(P<0.05)in DKD group.TT4RI was positively correlated with UACR in T2DM group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that FT3,BUN and BMI were influencing factors for DKD.The model formula was established as follows:DKD=0.711+0.102×BMI-0.002×SFA+0.138×BUN+0.007×Scr-0.578×FT3-0.089×FT4+0.750×TFQI-0.277×TSHI,which can forecasted the risk of DKD occurrence by 10%.The receiver operator characteristic curve evaluated the area under the curre of the above model formula as 0.705,the sensitivity was 49.1%,the specificity was 80.3%,and the cut-off value was 0.464.Conclusions With normal thyroid function,impaired central and peripheral TH sensitivity is correlated with T2DM combined with DKD,and elevated FT3 is a protective factor for T2DM combined with DKD.
