Objective To construct trajectory models of care-seeking patterns for type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients,analyze the influencing factors of different trajectories,and explore the fasting blood glucose control levels of T2DM patients with different trajectories.Methods A retrospective cohort study was carried out on 18088 T2DM patients who had health records and been involved in the diabetic management in Community Health Service Center of Minhang District,Shanghai from 2006 to 2009.Starting from Jan 1,2010,participants were followed up until Dec 31,2019,with complete follow-up information.Group-based trajectory modelling(GBTM)was employed to identify and construct the fluctuation trajectory of fasting blood glucose in the patients.Bayesian information criterion(BIC),average posterior probability(AvePP)and other evaluation indicators were used to select the optimum subgroup number model.Then the differences in demographic characteristics,health status,family history,fasting blood glucose,BMI,etc were compared among different categories.Multinational logistic regression model was constructed to explore the influencing factors of different fluctuation trajectories.Cox regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between the long-term trajectories of care-seeking patterns and fasting blood glucose control level.Results Using GBTM analysis,we constructed the optimal Model 4 to categorize 18088 T2DM patients with community health records into five distinct trajectory subgroups:continuous non-attendance group(22.29%),low-level increasing group(15.09%),high-level slowly decreasing group(14.18%),high-level rapidly decreasing group(14.90%),and continuous regular attendance group(33.54%).With the continuous regular attendance group serving as the reference,gender,age,place of residence,baseline comorbidity of hypertension,baseline fasting plasma glucose level,and BMI were found to influence the community attendance trajectories of T2DM patients(P<0.05).After adjusting for confounding factors,Cox regression analysis revealed that compared to the continuous non-attendance group,the low-level increasing group,high-level slowly decreasing group,and continuous regular attendance group had better glycemic control,with HRs of 0.37(95%CI:0.34-0.39),0.72(95%CI:0.67-0.78),and 0.78(95%CI:0.73-0.84),respectively.The glycemic control level in the high-level rapidly decreasing group was comparable,with an HR of 1.06(95%CI:0.99-1.12).Conclusion Based on the optimal model,the community medical treatment trajectories of T2DM patients showed different dynamic characteristics.Factors such as gender,residence,hypertension,and weight loss may influence these varying trajectories.Regular community visits and follow-up may help control blood glucose levels.

Objective:To observe and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel as first-line treatment for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer in China, and to explore the prognosis-related molecules in pancreatic cancer based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tumor tissues.Methods:From December 2018 to December 2020, patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer were recruited to accept albumin-bound paclitaxel as first-line treatment in the oncology departments of 24 hospitals in East China. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and treatment related adverse events, and the secondary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Adverse effects were graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 5.0 (CTCAE 5.0). NGS sequencing on the primary or metastatic tissue samples of pancreatic cancer obtained through surgical resection or biopsy was performed.Results:This study recruited 229 patients, including 70 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) and 159 patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). The disease control rate was 79.9% and the objective response rate is 36.3%.The common adverse effects during treatment were anaemia (159 cases), leucopenia (170 cases), neutropenia (169 cases), increased aminotransferases (110 cases), and thrombocytopenia (95 cases), and the incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia is 12.2% (28/229). The median follow-up time was 21.2 months (95% CI: 18.5-23.1 months). The median PFS (mPFS) was 5.3 months (95% CI: 4.37-4.07 months) and the median OS (mOS) was 11.2 months (95% CI: 9.5-12.9 months). The mPFS of patients with LAPC was 7.4 months (95% CI: 6.6-11.2 months), and their mOS was 15.5 months (95% CI: 12.6-NA months). The mPFS of patients with mPC was 3.9 months (95% CI: 3.4-5.1 months), and their mOS was 9.3 months (95% CI: 8.0-10.8 months). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that clinical stage ( HR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.06-2.04), primary tumor site ( HR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.48-0.86), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score ( HR=2.66, 95% CI: 1.53-4.65), and whether to combine radiotherapy ( HR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.42-1.00) were independent influencing factors for the PFS of these patients. The primary tumor site ( HR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.48-0.95), ECOG score ( HR=5.82, 95% CI: 3.14-10.82), and whether to combine radiotherapy ( HR=0.58, 95% CI: 0.35-0.96) were independent influencing factors of the OS of these patients. The most frequent gene mutations in these advanced stage pancreatic patients were KRAS (89.66%), TP53 (77.01%), CDKN2A (32.18%), and SMAD4 (21.84%) by NGS of tumor tissues from 87 pancreatic cancer patients with sufficient specimens. Further analysis revealed that mutations in CDKN2B, PTEN, FGF6, and RBBP8 genes were significantly associated with an increased risk of death ( P＜0.05). Conclusion:Albumin-bound paclitaxel as first-line treatment demonstrated feasible anti-tumor efficacy and manageable safety for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer in China.

AIM:To investigate the effects of mitogen-inducible gene 6(MIG6)overexpression on palmitic acid(PA)-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated steatosis in hepatocytes.METHODS:A mouse model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis was established by feeding twenty C57BL/6J mice a high-fat diet for 26 weeks.The mice were ran-domly divided into two groups:normal diet control group and high-fat diet group,and their livers were retained for subse-quent experiments.The PA was used to induce lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells and AML12 cells,and the cells were di-vided into two groups:BSA(10%BSA)group and PA(500 μmol/L PA)group.The MIG6 overexpression was induced by transfecting HepG2 and AML12 cells with human and mouse MIG6 overexpression plasmids,respectively.The cells were divided into four groups according to their different treatment conditions:(1)negatiive+BSA group(transfected with nega-tive control plasmid+10%BSA);(2)MIG6+BSA group(transfected with MIG6 overexpression plasmid+10%BSA);(3)negative+PA group(transfected with negative control plasmid+500 μmol/L PA);(4)MIG6+PA group(transfected with MIG6 overexpression plasmid+500 μmol/L PA).Lipid accumulation in hepatocytes was assessed by oil red O staining,and RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of MIG6 in liver tissues.The protein levels of MIG6,lipid synthesis-related molecules fatty acid synthase(FASN)and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1(SREBP1),and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78)and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP)in hepatocytes were detected using Western blot.RESULTS:High-fat diet increased the triglyceride content in the liver tissue of C57BL/6J mice induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes and suppressed the mRNA expression level of MIG6(P<0.01).PA intervention increased the protein levels of lipid synthesis-related molecules such as FASN and SREBP1,and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers GRP78 and CHOP in hepatocytes,but inhibited MIG6 protein levels(P<0.01).We transfected hepatocytes with MIG6 overexpression plasmid,which significantly increased MIG6 protein levels,decreased GRP78 and CHOP protein levels in hepatocytes(P<0.01),significantly attenuated PA-induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes,and down-regulated FASN and SREBP1 protein levels(P<0.01).These results indicate that MIG6 overexpression inhibited PA-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and attenuated lipid accumulation in hepato-cytes.CONCLUSION:Overexpression of MIG6 inhibits lipid accumulation in hepatocytes by suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress.

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.

Talent is one of the basic and strategic supports for building a modern socialist country in all aspects. Since the 1980s, the establishment of forensic medicine major and the cultivation of innovative talents in forensic medicine have become hot topics in higher education in forensic medicine. Over the past 43 years, the forensic medicine team of Shanxi Medical University has adhered to the joint education of public security and colleges, and made collaborative innovation, forming a training mode of "One Combination, Two Highlights, Three Combinations, Four in One" for innovative talents in forensic medicine. It has carried out "5+3/X" integrated reform, and formed a relatively complete talent training innovation mode and management system in teaching, scientific research, identification, major, discipline, team, platform and cultural construction. It has made a historic contribution to China's higher forensic education, accumulated valuable experience for the construction of first-class major and first-class discipline of forensic medicine, and provided strong support for the construction of the national new forensic talent training system. The popularization of this training mode is conducive to the rapid and sustainable development of forensic science, and provides more excellent forensic talents for national building, regional social development and the discipline construction of forensic science.

Objective: To investigate the cytomorphological and immunocytochemical features of tumor cells in the ascites of ovarian plasmacytoma (SOC). Methods: Specimens of serous cavity effusions were collected from 61 tumor patients admitted to the Affiliated Wuxi People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2015 to July 2021, including ascites from 32 SOC, 10 gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas, 5 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas, 6 lung adenocarcinomas, 4 benign mesothelial hyperplasia and 1 malignant mesothelioma patients, pleural effusions from 2 malignant mesothelioma patients and pericardial effusion from 1 malignant mesothelioma. Serous cavity effusion samples of all patients were collected, conventional smears were made through centrifugation, and cell paraffin blocks were made through centrifugation of remaining effusion samples. Conventional HE staining and immunocytochemical staining were applied to observe and summarize cytomorphological characteristics and immunocytochemical characteristics. The levels of serum tumor markers carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) were detected. Results: Of the 32 SOC patients, 5 had low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSOC) and 27 had high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). 29 (90.6%) SOC patients had elevated serum CA125, but the difference was not statistically significant between them and patients with non-ovarian primary lesions included in the study (P>0.05); The serum CEA was positive in 9 patients with gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma and 5 patients with lung adenocarcinoma, and the positive rate was higher than that in SOC patients (P<0.001); The serum CA19-9 was positive in 5 patients with gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma and 5 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and the positive rate was higher than that in SOC patients (P<0.05). The serum CA125, CEA and CA19-9 were within the normal range in 4 patients with benign mesothelial hyperplasia. LGSOC tumor cells were less heterogeneous and aggregated into small clusters or papillary pattern, and psammoma bodies could be observed in some LGSOC cases. The background cells were fewer and lymphocytes were predominant; the papillary structure was more obvious after making cell wax blocks. HGSOC tumor cells were highly heterogeneous, with significantly enlarged nuclei and varying sizes, which could be more than 3-fold different, and nucleoli and nuclear schizophrenia could be observed in some cases; tumor cells were mostly clustered into nested clusters, papillae and prune shapes; there were more background cells, mainly histiocytes. Immunocytochemical staining showed that AE1/AE3, CK7, PAX-8, CA125, and WT1 were diffusely positively expressed in 32 SOC cases. P53 was focally positive in all 5 LGSOCs, diffusely positive in 23 HGSOCs, and negative in the other 4 HGSOCs. Most of adenocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract and lung had a history of surgery, and tumor cells of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tend to form small cell nests. Immunocytochemistry can assist in the differential diagnosis of mesothelial-derived lesions with characteristic "open window" phenomenon. Conclusion: Combining the clinical manifestations of the patient, the morphological characteristics of the cells in the smear and cell block of the ascites can provide important clues for the diagnosis of SOC, and the immunocytochemical tests can further improve the accuracy of the diagnosis.

Objective: To understand the population structure of food-borne Staphylococcus (S.) aureus in China. Methods: Whole genome sequencing was used to analyze 763 food-borne S. aureus strains from 16 provinces in China from 2006 to 2020. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST), staphylococcal protein A gene (spa) typing, and staphylococcal chromosome cassettemec (SCCmec) typing were conducted, and minimum spanning tree based on ST types (STs) was constructed by BioNumerics 7.5 software. Thirty-one S. aureus strains isolated from imported food products were also included in constructing the genome phylogenetic tree. Results: A total of 90 STs (20 novel types) and 160 spa types were detected in the 763 S. aureus isolates. The 72 STs (72/90, 80.0%) were related to 22 clone complexes. The predominant clone complexes were CC7, CC1, CC5, CC398, CC188, CC59, CC6, CC88, CC15, and CC25, accounting for 82.44% (629/763) of the total. The STs and spa types in the predominant clone complexes changed over the years. The methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) detection rate was 7.60%, and 7 SCCmec types were identified. The ST59-t437-Ⅳa (17.24%, 10/58), ST239-t030-Ⅲ (12.07%, 7/58), ST59-t437-Ⅴb (8.62%, 5/58), ST338-t437-Ⅴb (6.90%, 4/58) and ST338-t441-Ⅴb (6.90%, 4/58) were the main types in MRSA strains. The genome phylogenetic tree had two clades, and the strains with the same CC, ST, and spa types clustered together. All CC7 methicillin sensitive S. aureus strains were included in Clade1, while 21 clone complexes and all MRSA strains were in Clade2. The MRSA strains clustered according to the SCCmec and STs. The strains from imported food products in CC398, CC7, CC30, CC12, and CC188 had far distances from Chinese strains in the tree. Conclusions: In this study, the predominant clone complexes of food-borne strains were CC7, CC1, CC5, CC398, CC188, CC59, CC6, CC88, CC15, and CC25, which overlapped with the previously reported clone complexes of hospital and community-associated strains in China, suggesting that close attention needs to be paid to food, a vehicle of pathogen transmission in community and food poisoning.
