Objective To investigate the application value of quantitative parameters MRFDGmax and SUVmax in the stages of hepatitis,liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in rats by whole-body dynamic 18 F-FDG PET/CT Patlak imaging.Methods Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into four groups of six rats each,which were the normal group,hepatitis group,liver fibrosis group and cirrhosis group.According to the experimental grouping,rats in each group were induced by the CC14 oil solution complex method.Whole-body dynamic 18 F-FDG PET/CT patlak imaging was performed on each group of rats separately at the completion of induction.After the imaging was com-pleted,the MRFDGmax,SUVmax and CT values of the livers of each group were analyzed;subsequently,the serum of rats in each group was extracted for the detection of liver function indexes(AST,ALT and ALP),and HE staining was performed on the livers of rats in the normal,hepatitis and cirrhosis groups,and Masson staining was performed on those in the liver fibrosis group;the α-SMA expression in the liver tissues of each group was analyzed by immu-nohistochemical method.The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA,two independent samples t-test and Pearson correlation analysis.Results MRFDGmax,SUVmax values were statistically significant differences among normal,hep-atitis,liver fibrosis and cirrhosis groups(F=84.54,38.35,P＜0.001).The difference in CT values between liver fibrosis and cirrhosis groups was not statistically significant(t=-0.407,P=0.693),and the difference was statistically significant when compared between the rest of the groups(F=112.25,P＜0.001).Compared with the normal group,AST,ALT and ALP of the experimental group showed a staged increase,and the differences were statistically significant(F=93.32,64.63,145.03,P＜0.001).HE staining showed that hepatocytes of the normal group were neatly arranged and structurally intact;a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated the hepa-titis group with steatosis;pseudo lobe formation was observed in the cirrhosis group.Masson staining of the liver fi-brosis group showed collagen fiber proliferation and thickening of the peritoneum.Immunohistochemistry test results showed that α-SMA expression increased in hepatitis group,liver fibrosis group and cirrhosis group,with a staged increase,and the difference was statistically significant(F=80.57,P＜0.001).Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between SUVmax and MRFDGmax(r=0.967,P＜0.01).α-SMA was positively correlated with AST,ALT and ALP in the hepatitis,liver fibrosis and cirrhosis groups,respectively(r=0.924,0.756,0.934,P＜0.01).Conclusion Whole-body dynamic 18F-FDG PET/CT Patlak imaging has application value in monitoring hepatitis,liver fibrosis and cirrhosis stages through quantitative parameters MRFDGmax and SUVmax changes.

ObjectiveTo understand the protective effect of pentavalent rotavirus （RV） vaccine in preventing infectious diarrhea among infants and young children， and to provide a basis for formulating prevention and control strategies for this population. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted to follow up resident children born in Pinghu City from January 2019 to June 2021 for two years. Data on morbidity and pentavalent RV vaccine inoculation were collected to analyze the incidence density of rotavirus infection among children inoculated with different doses of the pentavalent RV vaccine， and to calculate the vaccine protection rate. ResultsA total of 5 141 resident children were surveyed， with a RV vaccination rate of 31.63% and a full vaccination rate of 30.83%. There were 154 cases of RV infection， with an incidence density of 1 392.69/100 000 person-years. Among the 875 migrant children （17.02%）， the full vaccination rate was 20.46%， while among the 4 266 local children （82.98%）， the full vaccination rate was 32.96%. The difference in full vaccination rate between migrant children and local children was statistically significant （χ²=53.209， P<0.001）. The proportions of boys and girls were 51.94% and 48.06%， respectively， with a full vaccination rate of 29.74% and 32.01%， respectively； and the difference was not statistically significant （χ²=3.111， P=0.078）. The proportions of children with normal birth weight and abnormal birth weight were 91.56% and 8.44%， respectively， with a full vaccination rate of 31.82% and 20.05%， respectingly； and the difference was statistically significant （χ²=25.852， P<0.001）. Among the 3 515 children who were not vaccinated with the pentavalent RV vaccine， 118 of which were infected， with an incidence density of 1 503.32/100 000 person-years （with an incidence rate of 3.36%）. Among the 41 children who were partially vaccinated （received only 1-2 doses）， the incidence density was 1 058.54/100 000 person-years （with an incidence rate of 2.44%）. Among the 1 585 fully vaccinated children， 35 of which were infected， with an incidence density of 1 123.96/100 000 person-years （with an incidence rate of 2.21%）； and the difference in incidence rate was statistically significant （χ²=4.988， P=0.026）. The protection rate for partial vaccination was 28.00% （95%CI：22.00%‒33.50%）， while for full vaccination was 35.10% （95%CI： 29.80%‒40.00%）. ConclusionPentavalent RV vaccination can effectively prevent rotavirus infection in infants and young children， in which the full vaccination is more effective than partial vaccination. It is recommended to strengthen the monitoring of circulating RV strains in the city， develop more targeted vaccines， and increase the RV vaccine coverage rate and full vaccination rate among infants and young children through the expansion of the national immunization program and enhancement of public education， so as to effectively reduce the incidence of infectious diarrhea in infants and young children.

A combined epidemic prediction method based on multi-source data fusion is presented to address the common problems of low accuracy,weak generalization,single structure,poor nonlinear processing ability,and long prediction time in traditional epidemic prediction models.The collected multi-source epidemic data are normalized and subjected to feature selection using principal component analysis.An ARIMA-GM-BPNN model for pandemic prediction is constructed by combining ARIMA model,grey GM model and BPNN.The fitting values of the first two prediction models are used as inputs to BPNN for model training.After sufficiently integrating the data and combining the advantages of different prediction models,the optimal combined model is obtained and used for forecasting the incidence and trend of epidemics.Experimental results show that the combined model exhibits excellent fitting performance,with predicted incidences and trends consistent with the real conditions.The proposed approach improves prediction accuracy and generalization capabilities,and it can provide reliable data support for epidemic prediction and control.

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 study the relationship between ABO subtype, para-Bombay blood group and genotype, so as to explore the possible molecular mechanism of these two blood groups, and provide accurate genetic detection targets and theoretical basis for the accurate identification of ABO blood group. 【Methods】 First, the serology of 24 200 patients with blood type identification in the Ruijin Hospital from February to December in 2022 were analyzed, as well as 10 ambiguous ABO samples from other hospitals(3 were suspected ABO subtype and 7 were suspected para-Bombay blood group). Then ABO subtypes and para-Bombay blood groups were directly sequenced or post-clonal sequencing was performed to analyze ABO, FUT1 and FUT2 gene sequences. 【Results】 Among the 24 200 patients underwent blood type identification, 7 cases of ABO subtypes were detected. Among the 10 ambiguous samples sent by other hospitals, 2 of ABO subtypes, 1 of normal type A, and 7 of para-Bombay blood type were detected. In total, we identified blood types as follows: 1) 9 ABO subtypes: Ael(AEL.02/O.01.02), AelB(AEL.05/B.01), three of B3(2 of B3.03/O.01.01, 1 of B3.03/O.01.02), B(A)(BA.02/O.01.01), ABweak(A1.02/BW.07), Bweak(BW.31 /O.01.02), A2Bweak(A2.05 /BW.31); 2) 7 para-Bombay blood group: ABm^h (FUT1^*01N.13/FUT1^*01N.13), 4 of Am^h (3 of FUT1^*01N.06/FUT1^*01N.13, 1 of FUT1^*01N.13/FUT1^*01N.13); two of Bm^h (FUT1^*01N.06 /FUT1^*01N.06, FUT1^*01N.06/FUT1^*01N.13), all of FUT2 of the 7 cases were FUT2^*01/FUT2^*01. 【Conclusion】 Clinical ABO blood group variant samples need to be identified in combination with serological and molecular biology to improve the accuracy of identification, thus providing a reference for safe blood transfusion, organ transplantation, and the prediction and prevention of fetal-maternal immune hemolytic disease.

Objective To monitor and evaluate the synergistic antitumor effects of programmed death-1(PD-1)checkpoint inhibitor combined with radiation therapy through whole-body dynamic 18 F-Fluorodeoxy glucose positron emission computed tomography(18F-FDG PET/CT)and Patlak multi-parametric analysis.Methods B16F10 mel-anoma dual-tumor mouse model was established and randomly divided into control,PD-1 monoclonal antibody,ra-diation-only,and combination groups(n=6).Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging was performed before and 24 hours post-treatment.The changes of maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax)and metabolic rate of FDG(MRFDG)changes were analyzed and compared.Mice were then euthanized,tumors excised and underwent histo-pathology with HE,CD8,Ki-67 staining to assess immune infiltration and proliferation.Distal tumor volumes were monitored during treatment.Results At 24 hours post-treatment,in the primary tumors,SUVmax and MRFDG values increased compared to pre-treatment in the control group(P＜0.000 1),while they decreased in the combination treatment group(P＜0.000 1),with statistically significant differences.In the distal tumors,SUVmax and MRFDG values increased compared to pre-treatment in the control group,PD-1 monoclonal antibody group,and radiothera-py-alone group.The SUVmax differences were statistically significant in the control group before and after treatment(P＜0.000 1).MRFDG values in the distal tumors showed statistically significant differences in all three groups(P＜0.01 or P＜0.000 1).In the combination treatment group,SUVmax and MRFDG values in the distal tumors de-creased significantly compared to pre-treatment(P＜0.000 1).Post-treatment comparison of SUVmax and MRFDG values in the distal tumors showed that statistically significant differences in SUVmax and MRFDG values were observed among all groups except between the radiotherapy-alone and PD-1 monoclonal antibody groups(all P＜0.05).Im-munohistochemistry results showed that the mean absorbance value of CD8 T lymphocytes in the distal tumor was significantly higher than that in the other three groups(P＜0.001);the mean absorbance value of Ki-67 immuno-histochemistry in the distal tumor proliferation index was significantly lower than that in the other three groups(P＜0.001).Conclusion The synergistic effects of combined treatment reduced distal tumor growth.Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT Patlak multi-parametric imaging can monitor the synergistic effects of PD-1 antibody and radiotherapy in B16F10 melanoma,providing reliable imaging parameters for optimizing combinatorial therapies.

Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

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 observe the effect and mechanism of Tanhuo Prescription on regulating the activation of M1 microglia and alleviating brain tissue injury in rats with cerebral ischemia.Methods:Male SD rats were divided into sham-operation group, model group, Tanhuo Prescription high-(3.68 g/kg), medium-(1.84 g/kg), low-dosage(0.92 g/kg) groups, and ginaton group (0.06 g/kg) using random number table method. Except for the sham-operation group, the other groups established cerebral ischemia rat models using the middle cerebral artery occlusion method. The balance beam walking test was used to evaluate the symptoms of neurological deficit. MRI-T2 mapping was used to measure the damage to brain tissue. LFB staining was used to observe the damage to nerve fibers. HE staining was used to observe the damage to nerve cell, and Iba-1 and CD16/Iba-1 immunofluorescence staining were used to observe the condition of microglial activation.Results:Compared with the model group, the scores of balance beam walking ability of rats in Tanhuo Prescription high-dose group and ginaton group at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after ischemia were significantly improved ( P<0.05, P<0.01). The scores of balance beam walking ability of rats in Tanhuo Prescription low- and medium- dose groups at 72 h after ischemia were improved ( P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the T2 values of the cortex and striatum around the infarct of rats in Tanhuo Prescription high-dose group and ginaton group were significantly reduced ( P<0.05, P<0.01), and the T2 values of the striatum around the infarct of rats in Tanhuo Prescription low- and medium- dose groups were significantly reduced ( P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the LFB IOD of the cortex, striatum and outer capsule around the infarct decreased in the Tanhuo Prescription high-,low-dose group and ginaton group ( P<0.01). The LFB IOD of striatum around infarct decreased in medium- dose Tanhuo Prescription group ( P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the pathological injury degree of the striatum around the infarct of rats in Tanhuo Prescription low- ,medium-, and high-dose groups decreased, and the cell density decreased ( P<0.05, P<0.01). The density of the cortical and striatum cells around the infarct of rats in ginaton group increased ( P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the number of Iba-1 and CD16/Iba-1 positive cells in the cortex and striatum around the infarct decreased in Tanhuo Prescription medium-, high-dose and ginaton groups ( P<0.01). The number of CD16/Iba-1 positive cells in the cortex and striatum around the infarct of rats in Tanhuo Prescription low-dose group decreased ( P<0.01), and the number of Iba-1 positive cells in the striatum around the infarct of rats in Tanhuo Prescription low-dose group decreased ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Tanhuo Prescription can improve the symptoms of neurological deficits in rats with cerebral ischemia, reduce the neuropathological damage in the cerebral area around ischemic infarction, and inhibit the activation of M1 microglia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of choledocholithiasis com-bined with periampullary diverticulum and influencing factor for difficult cannulation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 1 920 patients who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis in 15 medical centers, including the First Hospital of Lanzhou University, et al, from July 2015 to December 2017 were collected. There were 915 males and 1 005 females, aged (63±16)years. Of 1 920 patients, there were 228 cases with periampullary diverticulum and 1 692 cases without periampullary diverticulum. Observation indicators: (1) clinical characteristics of patients with choledocholithiasis; (2) intraoperative and postoperative situations of patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis; (3) influencing factor analysis for difficult cannulation in patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) or M( Q1, Q3), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. The Logistic regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Clinical characteristics of patients with choledocholithiasis. Age, body mass index, cases with complications as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diameter of common bile duct, cases with diameter of common bile duct as <8 mm, 8?12 mm, >12 mm, diameter of stone, cases with number of stones as single and multiple were (69±12)years, (23.3±3.0)kg/m 2, 16, (14±4)mm, 11, 95, 122, (12±4)mm, 89, 139 in patients with choledocholithiasis combined with periampullary diverticulum, versus (62±16)years, (23.8±2.8)kg/m 2, 67, (12±4)mm, 159, 892, 641, (10±4)mm, 817, 875 in patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary diver-ticulum, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=?7.55, 2.45, χ2=4.54, t=?4.92, Z=4.66, t=?7.31, χ2=6.90, P<0.05). (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations of patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis. The balloon expansion diameter, cases with intraoperative bleeding, cases with hemorrhage management of submucosal injection, hemostatic clip, spray hemostasis, electrocoagulation hemostasis and other treatment, cases with endoscopic plastic stent placement, cases with endoscopic nasal bile duct drainage, cases with mechanical lithotripsy, cases with stone complete clearing, cases with difficult cannulation, cases with delayed intubation, cases undergoing >5 times of cannulation attempts, cannulation time, X-ray exposure time, operation time were 10.0(range, 8.5?12.0)mm, 56, 6, 5, 43, 1, 1, 52, 177, 67, 201, 74, 38, 74, (7.4±3.1)minutes, (6±3)minutes, (46±19)minutes in patients with choledocholithiasis combined with periampullary diverticulum, versus 9.0(range, 8.0?11.0)mm, 243, 35, 14, 109, 73, 12, 230, 1 457, 167, 1 565, 395, 171, 395, (6.6±2.9)minutes, (6±5)minutes, (41±17)minutes in patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary diverticulum, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=6.31, χ2=15.90, 26.02, 13.61, 11.40, 71.51, 5.12, 9.04, 8.92, 9.04, t=?3.89, 2.67, ?3.61, P<0.05). (3) Influencing factor analysis for difficult cannulation in patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis. Results of multivariate analysis showed total bilirubin >30 umol/L, number of stones >1, combined with periampullary diverticulum were indepen-dent risk factors for difficult cannulation in patients with periampullary diverticulum who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis ( odds ratio=1.31, 1.48, 1.44, 95% confidence interval as 1.06?1.61, 1.20?1.84, 1.06?1.95, P<0.05). Results of further analysis showed that, of 1 920 patients undergoing ERCP for choledocholithiasis, the incidence of postoperative pancreatitis was 17.271%(81/469) and 8.132%(118/1 451) in the 469 cases with difficult cannulation and 1 451 cases without difficult cannula-tion, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=31.86, P<0.05). In the 1 692 patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary diverticulum, the incidence of postopera-tive pancreatitis was 17.722%(70/395) and 8.250%(107/1 297) in 395 cases with difficult cannula-tion and 1 297 cases without difficult cannulation, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=29.00, P<0.05). In the 228 patients with choledocholithiasis combined with peri-ampullary diverticulum, the incidence of postoperative pancreatitis was 14.865%(11/74) and 7.143%(11/154) in 74 cases with difficult cannulation and 154 cases without difficult cannulation, respectively, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=3.42, P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with patients with choledocholithiasis not combined with periampullary divertioulum, periampullary divertioulum often occurs in choledocholithiasis patients of elderly and low body mass index. The proportion of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is high in choledocholithiasis patients with periampullary diverticulum, and the diameter of stone is large, the number of stone is more in these patients. Combined with periampullary diverticulum will increase the difficult of cannulation and the ratio of patient with mechanical lithotripsy, and reduce the ratio of patient with stone complete clearing without increasing postoperative complications of choledocholithiasis patients undergoing ERCP. Total bilirubin >30 μmol/L, number of stones >1, combined with periampullary diverticulum are independent risk factors for difficult cannulation in patients of periampullary diverticulum who underwent ERCP for choledocholithiasis.
