[Objective] To investigate the differences in metabolomics between apheresis platelets stored at 4℃ and at 22℃ with agitation, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the cold storage of apheresis platelets. [Methods] Samples were collected at four time points (d1, d5, d10, d15) for platelets stored at 4℃ (experimental group) and two time points (d1, d5) for platelets stored at 22℃ with agitation (control group). Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology was used to detect changes in platelet metabolome levels under different storage conditions. Platelet functional activity was assessed by thromboelastography (TEG) for maximum amplitude (MA) values and flow cytometry for CD62P activation rates. [Results] Metabolites in the glycolytic pathway, key metabolites in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (citrate, α-ketoglutarate), metabolites in the purine metabolism pathway (adenine, inosine monophosphate, guanine, etc.) and amino acid metabolites significantly decreased by d5 in the control group, whereas they remained stable in the experimental group. The content of fatty acid metabolites, such as prostaglandin G2, 13(S)-HOTrE, and linoleic acid, significantly increased in the control group. Statistically significant differences in MA values were observed between the two groups at d1 and d5 (P<0.05). However, in the experimental group, as the storage time extended, the MA values at d10 and d15 showed no significant difference compared to the control group at d5 (P>0.05). The CD62P activation rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Additionally, the CD62P activation rate of platelets in the 22℃ group increased rapidly from d1, while it rose gradually in the 4 ℃ group. [Conclusion] Platelets stored at 4 ℃ exhibit more stable metabolic activity and slower functional deterioration, which is beneficial for extending the effective storage period of platelets.

Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is an irreversible sensorineural hearing loss that severely endangers workers’ health, making early screening crucial. This article reviewed the research progress on early screening methods for occupational NIHL, introduced the testing mechanisms of three core screening methods—tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry —and summarized their clinical application advantages and limitations. It is proposed that multimodal combined detection (e.g., the combination of tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, and extended high-frequency audiometry) can significantly improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of early screening. Meanwhile, future studies with prospective cohort design are encouraged to verify the long-term monitoring value of each method and to strengthen the joint development of screening technologies with cutting-edge approaches such as machine learning, in order to further improve screening efficiency and provide stronger protection for workers’ hearing health.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of five fetuses with Harlequin ichthyosis (HI).
METHODS:
Five fetuses with HI diagnosed at Guangdong Women and Children Hospital between 2017 and 2024 were selected as study subjects. Clinical and laboratory data were collected and reviewed. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out, and candidate variants were verified by bioinformatic analysis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the hospital (Ethics No.: 202401024).
RESULTS:
The five fetuses had presented with ectropion, eclabium and contracture and flexion of fingers and toes. WES revealed that all had harbored compound heterozygous or homozygous variants of the ABCA12 gene. Among the eight types of variants, five were unreported previously.
CONCLUSION
The compound heterozygous or homozygous variants of the ABCA12 gene probably underlay the HI in the five fetuses. Clinicians should be vigilant about the possibility of HI in fetus with ectropion, eclabium, and contracture and flexion of fingers and toes.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of clobazam in the additional treatment of refractory epilepsy in children, and provide reference for clinically safe and rational drug use. METHODS The literatures about additional clobazam treatment for refractory epilepsy in children were searched from PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang database during the inception to November 2023. After literature screening and data extraction, the quality of included literature was evaluated according to quality evaluation tool for methodological evaluation indicators of non-randomized controlled trial, and then meta-analysis of single-group rate and sensitivity analysis were performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Finally, 18 one-arm studies were included, with a total of 1 424 children. The results showed that compared with before additional treatment, the proportion of patients with seizures-free (proportion of patients with seizure reduction of 100%) was 24%[95%CI (0.18,0.32), P<0.000 01] after conversion; the proportion of patients with seizure reduction ≥75% was 32%[95%CI(0.25,0.40), P<0.000 1] after conversion; the proportion of patients with seizure reduction ≥50% was 53%[95%CI(0.44,0.61),P<0.000 01]; the proportion of patients with seizure reduction <50% or no change was 35%[95%CI(0.24,0.49),P=0.04] after conversion; the proportion of patients with seizure increase was 9%[95%CI(0.05,0.18),P<0.000 01] after conversion. The proportion of patients with adverse reactions was 31%[95%CI(0.23,0.40),P<0.000 1] after conversion; the proportion of patients with discontinuation due to adverse reactions was 10%[95%CI(0.07, 0.15), P<0.000 01] after conversion. The common adverse drug reactions were drowsiness, fatigue and behavior change, etc. The results of the sensitivity analysis showed that the study was robust. CONCLUSIONS Clobazam is an effective additional therapy for refractory epilepsy in children, but its adverse effects should be vigilant.

Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment effect and prognostic factors of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is an ambispective cohort study. From August 2005 to December 2022,data of 510 patients who diagnosed with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and underwent surgical resection at the Hepatobiliary Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively collected. In the cohort,there were 324 males and 186 females,with an age of ( M (IQR)) 63(13)years (range:25 to 85 years). The liver function at admission was Child-Pugh A (343 cases,67.3%) and Child-Pugh B (167 cases,32.7%). Three hundred and seventy-two(72.9%) patients had jaundice symptoms and the median total bilirubin was 126.3(197.6) μmol/L(range: 5.4 to 722.8 μmol/L) at admission. Two hundred and fourty-seven cases (48.4%) were treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage or endoscopic nasobiliary drainage before operation. The median bilirubin level in the drainage group decreased from 186.4 μmol/L to 85.5 μmol/L before operation. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to identify the influencing factors for R0 resection,and Cox regression was used to construct multivariate prediction models for overall survival(OS) and disease-free survival(DFS). Results:Among 510 patients who underwent surgical resection,Bismuth-Corlett type Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients accounted for 71.8%,among which 86.1% (315/366) underwent hemi-hepatectomy,while 81.9% (118/144) underwent extrahepatic biliary duct resection alone in Bismuch-Corlett type Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients. The median OS time was 22.8 months, and the OS rates at 1-,3-,5-and 10-year were 72.2%,35.6%,24.8% and 11.0%,respectively. The median DFS time was 15.2 months,and the DFS rates was 66.0%,32.4%,20.9% and 11.0%,respectively. The R0 resection rate was 64.5% (329/510), and the OS rates of patients with R0 resection at 1-,3-,5-and 10-year were 82.5%, 48.6%, 34.4%, 15.2%,respectively. The morbidity of Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ-Ⅴ complications was 26.1%(133/510) and the 30-day mortality was 4.3% (22/510). Multivariate Logistic regression indicated that Bismuth-Corlett type Ⅰ-Ⅲ ( P=0.009), hemi-hepatectomy and extended resection ( P=0.001),T1 and T2 patients without vascular invasion (T2 vs. T1: OR=1.43 (0.61-3.35), P=0.413;T3 vs. T1: OR=2.57 (1.03-6.41), P=0.010;T4 vs. T1, OR=3.77 (1.37-10.38), P<0.01) were more likely to obtain R0 resection. Preoperative bilirubin,Child-Pugh grade,tumor size,surgical margin,T stage,N stage,nerve infiltration and Edmondson grade were independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS of hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients without distant metastasis. Conclusions:Radical surgical resection is necessary to prolong the long-term survival of hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients. Hemi-hepatectomy and extended resection,regional lymph node dissection and combined vascular resection if necessary,can improve R0 resection rate.
