Transfusion and Anemia Expertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding developed a strategy for platelet and plasma infusion management in critically ill children based on systematic reviews and consensus meetings of international multidisciplinary experts. One good practice statement and six expert consensus statements were proposed for plasma and platelet transfusions in critically ill children following severe trauma, traumatic brain injury, and/or intracranial hemorrhage. This article introduces the specific methods and basis for the formation of recommendations in this part of the guide.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of mitochondrial calcium uniporter （MCU） on the cytoskeleton of pancreatic ductal epithelial cells in a mouse model of acute pancreatitis （AP） induced by caerulein （CAE）， to analyze the role of MCU in the development of AP， and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. MethodsIn the in vivo experiment， wild-type male C57BL6/J mice， aged 4 weeks， were randomly divided into control group and AP group， with 6 mice in each group. The mice in the AP group were given intraperitoneal injection of CAE to establish a model of AP， and those in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of an equal volume of normal saline. Serum and pancreatic tissue samples were collected after 24 hours of modeling. HE staining was used to observe pancreatic histopathological changes； Western Blot was used to measure the expression levels of MCU， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， and acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 （ASCL4）； kits were used to measure the serum level of amylase. In the in vitro experiment， the human pancreatic ductal epithelial cell line HPDE6-C7 was co-cultured with CAE for 24 hours to establish an in vitro AP model， and the cells were divided into control group， CAE group， RR （an MCU activity inhibitor） group， CAE+RR group， Fer-1 （an ferroptosis inhibitor） group， CAE+Fer-1 group， Erastin （an ferroptosis inducer） group， and CAE+Erastin group. CCK-8 assay was used to observe the influence of different agents on cell viability； Western Blot was used to measure the expression levels of MCU， GPX4， and ASCL4； immunofluorescence assay was used to measure reactive oxygen species （ROS）， actin cytoskeleton， and monolayer permeability； kits were used to measure the concentrations of malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， Fe²⁺， and total iron. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsIn the in vivo experiment， compared with the control group， the AP group had significant increases in pancreatic histopathological score， the serum level of amylase， and the expression levels of MCU and ASCL4， as well as a significant reduction in the expression of GPX4 （all P<0.05）. In the in vitro experiment， compared with the control group， the CAE group had significant increases in the expression levels of MCU and ASCL4， a significant reduction in the expression of GPX4， and significant increases in the concentrations of Fe²⁺， total iron， and MDA， the green fluorescence intensity of ROS， and monolayer permeability， as well as a significant reduction in the concentration of GSH （all P<0.05）， with the presence of actin cytoskeleton disruption. Compared with the CAE group， the CAE+RR group had a significant increase in the expression level of GPX4， a significant reduction in the expression level of ASCL4， and significant reductions in the concentrations of Fe²⁺， total iron， and MDA， the green fluorescence intensity of ROS， and monolayer permeability and a significant increase in the concentration of GSH （all P<0.05）， with alleviation of actin cytoskeleton disruption. Compared with the CAE group， the CAE+Fer-1 group had significant reductions in the concentrations of Fe²⁺， total iron， and MDA， the green fluorescence intensity of ROS， and monolayer permeability and a significant increase in the concentration of GSH （all P<0.05）， with alleviation of actin cytoskeleton disruption. Compared with the CAE group， the CAE+Erastin group had significant increases in the concentrations of Fe²⁺， total iron， and MDA， the green fluorescence intensity of ROS， and monolayer permeability and a significant reduction in the concentration of GSH （all P<0.05）， with aggravation of actin cytoskeleton disruption. ConclusionDuring the onset of AP， MCU mediates oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis and leads to the disruption of the pancreatic ductal epithelial barrier， which may be one of the possible pathogeneses of AP.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and mechanisms of Sini San in the treatment of depression and liver injury based on gut microbiota. MethodsThirty-two male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into a normal group， model group （M）， Sini San group （MS， 2.5 g·kg^-1）， and fluoxetine group （MF， 2 mg·kg^-1）. Except for the normal group， rats in the other three groups were subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS）. After 8 weeks， the open-field test and sucrose preference test were conducted. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect serum corticosterone （CORT）， adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH）， corticotropin-releasing factor （CRF）， lipopolysaccharide （LPS）， Zonulin， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， γ-aminobutyric acid （GABA） levels in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex， and brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） levels in the hippocampus. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect hippocampal BDNF mRNA expression. Serum alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） levels were measured using the ultraviolet lactate dehydrogenase method. The ultrastructure of the intestinal epithelium was observed by electron microscopy， and gut microbiota in rat feces were analyzed using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the sucrose preference of rats in the model group was significantly reduced （P0.01）， whereas it was significantly increased in the Sini San group compared with the model group （P0.05）. Compared with the normal group， hippocampal GABA protein levels and BDNF mRNA expression in the model group were significantly decreased （P0.05）， and compared with the model group， both were significantly increased in the Sini San group （P0.05， P0.01）. Compared with the normal group， serum LPS and Zonulin levels in the model group were significantly increased （P0.05， P0.01）， and compared with the model group， Zonulin levels in the Sini San group were significantly decreased （P0.05）. No obvious changes were observed in the ultrastructure of the jejunal mucosa among groups. Compared with the normal group， widened and blurred tight junctions， sparse and shortened microvilli， and mitochondrial swelling with cristae disruption in epithelial cells were observed in the ileal and colonic mucosa of the model group， which were markedly improved in the Sini San and fluoxetine groups. The results of 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing showed that Sini San improved CUMS-induced dysbiosis of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria. Correlation analysis indicated that Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria were significantly correlated with depression-related indicators， liver function， and intestinal mucosal permeability. ConclusionSini San exerts antidepressant and hepatoprotective effects by improving Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria and inhibiting the increase in intestinal mucosal permeability in CUMS rats.

OBJECTIVES: We present a new low-dose CT reconstruction method using sub-pixel and anisotropic diffusion. METHODS: The sub-pixel intensity values and their second-order differences were obtained using linear interpolation techniques, and the new gradient information was then embedded into an anisotropic diffusion process, which was introduced into a penalty-weighted least squares model to reduce the noise in low-dose CT projection data. The high-quality CT image was finally reconstructed using the classical filtered back-projection (FBP) algorithm from the estimated data. RESULTS: In the Shepp-Logan phantom experiments, the structural similarity (SSIM) index of the CT image reconstructed by the proposed algorithm, as compared with FBP, PWLS-Gibbs and PWLS-TV algorithms, was increased by 28.13%, 5.49%, and 0.91%, the feature similarity (FSIM) index was increased by 21.08%, 1.78%, and 1.36%, and the root mean square error (RMSE) was reduced by 69.59%, 18.96%, and 3.90%, respectively. In the digital XCAT phantom experiments, the SSIM index of the CT image reconstructed by the proposed algorithm, as compared with FBP, PWLS-Gibbs and PWLS-TV algorithms, was increased by 14.24%, 1.43% and 7.89%, the FSIM index was increased by 9.61%, 1.78% and 5.66%, and the RMSE was reduced by 26.88%, 9.41% and 18.39%, respectively. In clinical experiments, the SSIM index of the image reconstructed using the proposed algorithm was increased by 19.24%, 15.63% and 3.68%, the FSIM index was increased by 4.30%, 2.92% and 0.43%, and the RMSE was reduced by 44.60%, 36.84% and 15.22% in comparison with FBP, PWLS-Gibbs and PWLS-TV algorithms, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method can effectively reduce the noises and artifacts while maintaining the structural details in low-dose CT images.

Objective To study the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT)on nutritional status and postoperative recovery in patients after gastric cancer surgery.Methods Sixty patients diagnosed with gastric cancer between January 1,2023,and December 30,2023,at the hospital in the department of gastroin-testinal and gland surgery were included in this study.Patients were randomly divided by drawing lots into ei-ther the observation group(received routine care plus CBT—based nursing program)or the control group(received routine care),with 30 patients in each group.Nutritional indicators and postoperative recovery out-comes were compared between the two groups.Results After the intervention,patients in the observation group showed significantly higher levels of albumin and hemoglobin compared to the control group(P＜0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference in prealbumin levels between the two groups(P＞0.05).Furthermore,patients in the observation group scored higher on the Quality of Recovery-40 scale in terms of emotional state,physical comfort,psychological support,and overall score compared to the control group(P＜0.05).After the intervention,the observation group showed significantly lower HADS scores com-pared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion CBT demon-strates significant positive effects in improving nutritional status and postoperative recovery quality in gastric cancer patients.CBT improves patients'emotional state,thereby affecting appetite and nutritional status,and promotes postoperative physical function recovery.

To develop a portable transport vehicle for single injured soldier in field warfare,so as to meet the target of completing emergency transshipment for single injured solider in both peacetime and wartime.The main body of the transport vehicle consists of a general stretcher and an additional wheel device.The stretcher provides a supporting platform for lying down and prone position of injured solider.The device of additional wheel is a foldable portable structure with two-wheels,which composed of 2 wheels,2 sets of frames,a crossbeam,connecting rods,buckles,and hooks.When transport task for injured solider needs to be performed,it can be connected to the stretcher to be expanded as a stretcher cart for transporting injured solider.In normal times,it can be folded for storage in a backpack.The use of the portable transport vehicle for single injured soldier in field warfare can reduce the number of personnel who carries out the stretcher from 2-3 person to 1 person,and can significantly reduce the frequency of transport,and shorten the overall time of transport,and remarkably improve efficiency of transport.Moreover,the scores of medical members for the performance of labor-saving and the recommendation level of transport vehicle in this study were higher than general stretcher,and the differences were significant(t=9.52,3.60,P<0.05).This transport vehicle has a reasonably structural design,favorable portability and safety.It can greatly improve the efficiency of transporting injured solider under limited conditions,and enhance the possibility that successfully rescue injured solider,and meet the requirement of grass-roots unit of army for practical combat in transporting injured solider,which is a suitable transport tool.

Objective:To evaluate the role and molecular mechanism of laminin β1(LAMB1)in cortical neurons in regulation of glutamate receptors.Methods:Recombinant lentivirus(LV-shLamb1)-mediated knockdown of LAMB1 expression in mouse primary cortical neurons was performed,followed by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot to detect changes in F-actin,glutamate receptor subtypes(AMPA receptors GluR1/GluR2,NMDA receptors NR1/NR2A),and ERK-related protein expression in cortical neurons.Results:LV-shLamb1 significantly inhibited LAMB1 expression in mouse cortical neurons.Concurrently,LV-shLamb1 markedly increased F-actin polymerization,as well as the expression of AMPA receptor subunits GluR1 and GluR2,and NMDA receptor subunits NR1 and NR2A.Further,Western blot detection showed that the phosphorylation level of ERK was significantly increased after LV-shLamb1 infec-tion.Conclusion:LAMB1 is expressed in cortical neurons.Suppression of LAMB1 expression in mouse cortical neu-rons activates the ERK pathway,which in turn promotes the polymerization of the cytoskeletal protein F-actin and the expression of glutamate receptors.This suggests that LAMB1 may regulate F-actin homeostasis and glutamate receptor levels through the ERK pathway,thereby playing a potentially important role in neuronal function.

Objective:To investigate the application and effect of a competency-oriented teaching model in standardized nutritional diagnosis and treatment training for clinical physicians.Methods:A blended teaching method combining online and offline lectures was used to teach core knowledge and skills of clinical nutrition among clinical physicians by implementing a step-by-step "popularization-strengthening-deepening" strategy. The number of nutritional consultations, the improvement in nutritional diagnosis and treatment among clinical physicians, and the degree of satisfaction after training were used as assessment indices.Results:Compared with the data in 2021, the number of annual nutritional consultations was increased by 21.41% in 2022 and 53.18% in 2023. A total of 281 clinical physicians received online deepening course training, among whom 237 (84.34%) completed the online clinical nutrition knowledge test, with a mean score of (86.17±5.48) points and a pass rate of 81.86% (194/237). The online training received a satisfaction rate of 80.39%.Conclusions:The training program designed with competency-based objectives, systematic content, and diverse methodologies can significantly enhance the standardized thinking and capabilities of clinical physicians in nutritional diagnosis and treatment.
