Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

OBJECTIVE:Neuromuscular exercise is a new comprehensive rehabilitation therapy in recent years,but its effect on knee osteoarthritis is still controversial.The purpose of this paper is to systematically evaluate the efficacy of neuromuscular exercise on knee osteoarthritis pain and function. METHODS:The randomized controlled trials addressing neuromuscular exercise in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis pain and function were retrieved from PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,EBSCO,CNKI,Web of Science,China Biomedical Database(CBM),VIP,and WanFang Database.The retrieval time ranged from database inception to October 2023.The neuromuscular training group(experimental group)was given neuromuscular training or neuromuscular training as the main intervention;the control group was a blank group or given conventional rehabilitation.Outcome indicators included the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)score,walking time,knee stability,and the maximum number of knee flexion in 30 seconds.The risk of bias was evaluated by the Cochrane Collaboration tool and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS:A total of 11 randomized controlled trials were included,and 628 samples were extracted.The results of Meta-analysis showed that the experimental group was superior to the control group in terms of WOMAC pain score[standardized mean difference(SMD)=0.38,95%confidence interval(CI):0.08-0.69,P=0.01],knee stability(SMD=0.57,95%CI:0.23-0.92,P=0.001),the maximum number of knee joint flexion in 30 seconds(SMD=0.35,95%CI:0.05-0.65,P=0.02),and WOMAC physical function score(SMD=-0.79,95%CI:-1.30 to-0.28,P=0.002).In both groups,walking speed was increased and walking ability was improved in patients with knee osteoarthritis,but there was no significant difference(walking time:SMD=-0.22,95%CI:-0.48-0.03,P=0.09). CONCLUSION:Neuromuscular exercise can effectively improve knee joint pain,enhance the stability of the knee joint,and promote functional recovery in patients with knee osteoarthritis.However,more high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed to further confirm the research.

Ulcerative colitis （UC）， which is characterized by a complex and multifactorial etiology， remains one of the challenging disorders in the international field of digestive system diseases. In recent years， rectal administration preparations have made rapid progress in UC therapeutic applications. This study systematically reviews the dosage forms， mechanisms of action， and clinical applications of rectally-administered preparations for the treatment of UC. It is found that suppositories are the most commonly used dosage forms for rectal administration. The newer suppositories have the advantages of high bioavailability and good stability. Enemas can retain the drug in the intestine as much as possible to achieve the effects of diluting intestinal toxins， cleansing the bowel， and reducing inflammation. Gels can achieve a drug-sustained-release effect and effectively improve intestinal mucosal damage. The mechanism of action of this type of preparation is mainly to inhibit inflammatory cell infiltration， regulate intestinal microbial homeostasis， and increase the expression of tight-junction proteins， so as to play anti-inflammatory， regulate the intestinal bacterial flora， repair the intestinal mucosa， and other efficacies. The diversity of rectal administration forms provides a wide range of choices for the clinical treatment of UC， such as Mesalazine suppositories， Lianshao enemas， and temperature- sensitive gels loaded with drugs for UC.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of hot ironing with Haitongpi Formula （海桐皮方， HF） in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation （LDH） of cold-dampness obstruction type. MethodsA total of 70 patients with cold-dampness obstruction type LDH were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group， with 35 cases in each group. Both groups received three movements technique of Qinggong Spinal Manipulation （QSM） as the basis for treatment. In addition， the treatment group received hot ironing with HF， while the control group applied Diclofenac Sodium Gel externally. The treatment duration for both groups was 14 days. The clinical efficacy was compared between groups. Japanese Orthopedic Association （JOA） score， visual analog scale （VAS） for pain， pain pressure threshold （PPT） for lumbar positive response points， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom scores were compared， on day 7， and day 14 of treatment， as well as on day 7 and day 14 of follow-up. The lumbar curvature index （LCI） was also compared before treatment and on day 14 of treatment. Adverse reactions during the study were recorded for both groups. ResultsA total of 35 patients in the treatment group and 34 patients in the control group were included for final analysis. The clinical total effective rate of the treatment group （91.43%， 32/35） was significantly higher than that of the control group （82.35%， 28/34， P＜0.05）. Both the JOA score and PPT of the two groups increased on day 7 and day 14 of treatment， and on day 7 and day 14 of follow-up. VAS scores and TCM symptom scores both decreased. The LCI of both groups increased on day 14 of treatment （P＜0.01）. Compared with the control group at the same time points， on day 14 of treatment and day 7 and day 14 of follow-up， the treatment group had higher JOA scores and PPT， and lower VAS scores and TCM symptom scores. The LCI of the treatment group increased on day 14 of treatment （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. One case in the control group showed mild skin allergy， with no other adverse reactions observed in either group. ConclusionBased on three movements technique of QSM， hot ironing with HF shows better clinical efficacy than external Diclofenac Sodium Gel in the treatment of cold-dampness obstruction type LDH. It can significantly reduce lumbar pain， increase pain pressure threshold， improve clinical symptoms， lumbar function， and lumbar curvature， with good safety.

ObjectiveTo establish a geographical origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan， providing a new technical reference for the protection of Haiyuan's geo-authentic medicinal materials and its designation as a national geographical indication agricultural product. MethodsSamples of Foeniculi Fructus were collected from eight producing areas， including Minqin （Gansu）， Bozhou （Anhui）， Qingdao （Shandong）， Dezhou （Shandong）， Urumqi （Xinjiang）， Nujiang （Yunnan）， Gutuo （Inner Mongolia）， and Haiyuan （Ningxia）. Gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry （GC-IMS） was used to detect the volatile organic compounds （VOCs） in samples from these geographic origins. VOCs were qualitatively analyzed through dual matching with the National Institute of Standards and Technology （NIST） mass spectral database and the IMS drift time database. Using the Reporter module and Gallery Plot visualization tools within the LAV analytical platform， VOC fingerprint profiles characterizing geographic origins were constructed. A non-targeted analytical strategy was adopted， and 97 VOCs detected via GC-IMS were subjected to principal component analysis （PCA） and partial least squares discriminant analysis （PLS-DA） based on their differential distribution patterns to construct an origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan region. Key discriminative markers were screened using variable importance in projection （VIP） values greater than 1. ResultsA total of 97 VOCs were identified， including alcohols， aldehydes， ketones， esters， organic acids， terpenoids， ethers， alkenes， and benzenes. The PLS-DA model， based on VOCs data obtained by GC-IMS， effectively distinguished Foeniculi Fructus in Haiyuan region from those of other origins. During cross-validation， the model achieved a prediction parameter （Q²） of 0.976 and a goodness-of-fit parameter （R²） of 0.936， with no overfitting observed in permutation testing. Twelve key flavor markers with VIP > 1 were identified as characteristic indicators of Haiyuan origin. ConclusionA stable and highly predictive origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan was successfully established using GC-IMS technology， PLS-DA， and VIP-based marker screening. This model provides a novel technical strategy for accurately distinguishing Foeniculi Fructus in Haiyuan region from other regional varieties and offers new technical support for its protection as a geo-authentic medicinal material and a nationally designated geographical indication agricultural product in China.

Objective: To explore the independent effects and gender differences of different types of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on the co-occurrence of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide attempts (SA), so as to provide a reference for the precise prevention and control of self-harm in junior high school students. Methods: From May to June 2023, a total of 7 360 junior high school students were selected from 12 schools in three districts/counties of Chongqing using a combination of stratified cluster sampling and convenience sampling methods. Information on NSSI, SA, ACEs, and depressive symptom, as well as other related data were collected through the Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire (ANSAQ), suicide related section of the Chinese Adolescent Health related Behavior Questionnaire (Junior High School Version), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form ( CTQ- SF), and Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). Statistical analyses of the data were performed using the Chi-square test and multiple Logistic regression. Results: The detection rates of NSSI, SA, NSSI+SA and ACEs in junior high school students were 19.2%, 4.6%, 3.5% and 57.9% respectively. After controlling for factors such as gender, grade, family type, self rated family economic status, self rated academic performance, self rated academic pressure, number of close friends, and depressive symptom scores, results from the multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that junior high school students with physical abuse ( OR = 1.98, 95% CI =1.23-3.18), emotional abuse ( OR =2.83, 95% CI =1.92-4.19), sexual abuse ( OR = 1.70, 95% CI =1.07- 2.69 ), physical neglect ( OR =1.67, 95% CI =1.20-2.33) and witnessing domestic violence ( OR =2.10, 95% CI =1.41-2.87) in childhood had higher risks for the occurrence of NSSI+SA (all P <0.05). After stratification by gender, boys with sexual abuse in childhood had a high risk for the occurrence of NSSI+SA ( OR =2.17, 95% CI =1.06-4.43), whereas girls with emotional abuse ( OR =3.69, 95% CI =2.29-5.94), physical neglect ( OR =1.62, 95% CI =1.07-2.45) and witnessing domestic violence ( OR =2.17, 95% CI =1.41-3.34) in childhood had hgih risks for the occurrence of NSSI+SA (all P <0.05). Conclusions Different types of ACEs have different effects on the co-occurrence of self-harm in junior high school students and there are gender differences. When family interventions are conducted for the combined model, emphasis should be placed on aspects of emotional abuse and domestic violence while optimizing the interventions based on gender differences.

Ganoderic acid is a class of lanostane-type triterpenoids found in Ganoderma species, and is one of the most important pharmacologically active components in G. lucidum, exhibiting antioxidant, anti-neuropsychiatric, anti-tumor, and immune-enhancing properties. The content of ganoderic acid in G. lucidum is very low, and the traditional extraction process is complex, yielding minimal amounts at high cost. The biosynthetic pathway of G. lucidum triterpenoids(GLTs), including the synthesis of different structural forms of ganoderic acid from lanosterol, as well as the molecular regulatory mechanisms involving key regulatory enzyme genes and their functions, are not yet fully understood. With the continuous development of synthetic biology technologies, there has been a deeper understanding of the biosynthesis and metabolic regulation pathways of ganoderic acid and its derivatives at the molecular level. Research has explored the key regulatory enzyme genes related to ganoderic acid biosynthesis and their functions. Moreover, through the optimization of synthetic biology and culture conditions, large-scale production and preparation of GLTs at the cellular level have been achieved. This paper reviews and analyzes the latest research progress on the biosynthesis pathways and metabolic regulation of GLTs, focusing on the configuration of ganoderic acid and its derivatives, the biosynthetic pathways, key enzyme genes, transcription factors related to ganoderic acid biosynthesis, signal transduction mechanisms, and factors affecting triterpenoid biotransformation. This review is expected to provide a theoretical basis and technical reference for improving the efficient production of triterpenoid pharmacological components and the exploitation and utilization of G. lucidum resources.

Hongsheng Dan, historically referred to as the "surgical sacred medicine", is at risk of losing its refining technology in contemporary times. This study aimed to preserve and innovate this traditional non-heritage refining technology. By utilizing the analytic hierarchy process(AHP) combined with the entropy weight method, this study established the hierarchical structure model of refining process of Hongsheng Dan and conducted a single factor experiment and an L_9(3~4) orthogonal experiment to optimize the refining method of Hongsheng Dan. Additionally, the study employed infrared thermal imaging to monitor temperature variations of Hongsheng Dan during the refining process. The optimized refining parameters for Hongsheng Dan were established as follows: a slow fire temperature of 175 ℃ with a duration of 30 minutes, a strong fire temperature of 270 ℃ with a duration of 60 minutes, and a tail fire temperature of 180 ℃ with a duration of 15 minutes. The stability and feasibility of this optimized process were confirmed through validation tests. The research focused on the material transformation of Hongsheng Dan, starting from the material changes during the refining process of Hongsheng Dan and the synthesis of mercuric oxide from nitric acid. The study investigated elemental transformations, physical phase changes, and alterations in thermal properties. 78.98% of the mercury in Hongsheng Dan and 80.21% of the mercury in mercuric oxide from nitric acid were retained. The diffraction peak intensity of the(011) crystal plane of Hongsheng Dan was highest at approximately 30.07°, indicating that the(011) crystal plane had a preferred crystalline orientation. Furthermore, the temperature range for the alteration in thermal properties during the refining process of Hongsheng Dan was found to be between 80 ℃ and 130 ℃. This research not only optimized the refining technology of Hongsheng Dan but also pioneered the application of infrared thermal imaging to study temperature changes throughout the refining process. By exploring the material transformation patterns of Hongsheng Dan and the synthesis of mercuric oxide from nitric acid, the study provided technical support for the preservation and innovation of Hongsheng Dan.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the dynamic changes in serum microRNA-15b (miR-15b) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in preterm infants with mild or moderate-to-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), as well as their value in assessing short-term neurodevelopment. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical data of 156 preterm infants with BPD who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from January 2020 to February 2023. According to the severity of BPD, they were divided into a mild group (n=88) and a moderate-to-severe group (n=68). Serum levels of miR-15b and VEGF were measured on postnatal days 1, 7, 14, and 28. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to assess the dynamic changes in serum levels of miR-15b and VEGF. The mediating effect of VEGF between miR-15b and short-term neurological development was tested and analyzed using the stepwise regression method and the Bootstrap method. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. RESULTS: In the mild group, there was a significant reduction in the serum level of miR-15b and a significant increase in VEGF over time (P<0.05), while in the moderate-to-severe group, there was a significant increase in miR-15b and a significant reduction in VEGF over time (P<0.05). Serum miR-15b and VEGF levels were important factors influencing neurodevelopmental outcomes, showing independent correlations (P<0.001). The mediating effect analysis indicated that miR-15b indirectly affected short-term neurodevelopment by inhibiting VEGF expression [indirect effect: -0.705 (95%CI: -1.178 to -0.372)], with the indirect effect accounting for 54.36% of the total effect. CONCLUSIONS There are different changing trends in serum levels of miR-15b and VEGF in preterm infants with mild and moderate-to-severe BPD. miR-15b primarily influences neurodevelopment through VEGF.
