Objective To investigate the expression of Delta(24)-cholesteryl reductase(DHCR24)proteins in cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions(SILs)tissues and its value in different cervical lesion patho-logical diagnosis.Methods The expression of DHCR24,p16,and Ki-67 was quantitatively detected by immuno-histochemistry in 51 normal cervical tissues,44 LSILs,and 57 HSILs.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of DHCR24,p16,and Ki-67 proteins in evaluating the degree of SILs.Results The expression levels of DHCR24,p16 and Ki-67 protein were positively correlated with the progression of SILs(P<0.05).ROC analysis showed that the immunohistochemistry score cutoff value for DHCR24 between normal cervical tissue and LSIL was 0.1145,and between LSIL and HSIL was 0.1969.The sensi-tivity of DHCR24 in diagnosing LSIL was 79.55%,higher than that for p16 and Ki-67,which was 15.91%and 18.08%(P<0.05).The area under the ROC curve(AUC)for distinguishing normal cervical tissue from LSIL using a combination of DHCR24 and p16 was 0.932(95%CI:0.878～0.986),higher than that for p16 and Ki-67 combined,which was 0.861(95%CI:0.785～0.936).The AUC for distinguishing LSIL from HSIL using a combi-nation of DHCR24 and p16 was0.971(95%CI:0.946～0.997),higher than that for p16 and Ki-67 combined,which was 0.870(95%CI:0.790～0.949).Conclusions Both DHCR24 and p16 protein expression levels can pro-vide reference for the grading of SILs,and their combination can improve the diagnostic efficiency.The cutoff value derived from the ROC curve plotted by DHCR24 immunohistochemical staining intensity can improve the sensitivity of LSIL diagnosis.

Intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) combines electrophysiology with anatomy to monitor nerve function during thyroid surgery,and has become an important auxiliary technology for neuroprotection. After more than ten years of development,the technology has been widely applied and popularized in China,promoting the development of a number of new technologies in the industry. Combined with the questionnaire survey data of the Chinese Neural Monitoring Study Group,this paper aims to summarize the clinical effect of IONM technology, the application status and existing problems at home and abroad, and propose the possible future development direction.

BACKGROUND:Emodin has a variety of pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory,anti-viral and anti-oxidative stress,and also has a certain protective effect on sepsis-induced myocardial injury,but its mechanism of action is still unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether emodin can improve myocardial injury in septic mice by promoting autophagy.METHODS:Thirty-two male Kunming mice were divided into sham operation group(n=4),sham operation+emodin group(n=4),model group(n=8),model+emodin group(n=8),and emodin+3-methyladenine group(n=8).The myocardial injury model of septic mice was constructed by cecal ligation and puncture.3-methyladenine(10 mg/kg)was injected intraperitoneally 1 hour before modeling.Emodin(20 mg/kg)was injected intraperitoneally 30 minutes before modeling,and the other groups were injected with the same amount of normal saline at the same time point.Blood and myocardial samples were collected from all mice 24 hours after surgery.ELISA was used to detect the levels of brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin Ⅰ in serum.Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression of LC3B,Beclin-1,and p62 in myocardial tissue.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in myocardial tissue.Ultrasound was used to evaluate the cardiac function of mice.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the sham operation group,there was no significant difference in the levels of serum brain natriuretic peptide,cardiac troponin Ⅰ,and the protein expression of myocardial autophagy proteins LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ and p62 in the sham operation+emodin group(P＞0.05).(2)Compared with the sham operation+emodin group,the levels of serum brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin I were significantly increased in the model group(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the levels of serum brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin I were decreased in the model+emodin group(P＜0.05).(3)Compared with the model group,the expression of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ and Beclin-1 protein was increased and the expression of p62 protein was decreased in the myocardial tissue of the model+emodin group(P＜0.05).Compared with the model+emodin group,the expression of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ and Beclin-1 protein decreased and the expression of p62 protein increased in the emodin+3-methyladenine group(P＜0.05).(4)The myocardial fibers in the sham operation group were normal,the myocardial fibers in the model group were disordered with a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration,the myocardial fibers in the model+emodin group were slightly disordered,and some vacuolar changes were observed.The myocardial fibers were disordered,and more inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in the emodin+3-methyladenine group.(5)Compared with the sham operation group,the left ventricular short axis shortening rate and left ventricular ejection fraction were decreased in the model group(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the left ventricular short axis shortening rate and left ventricular ejection fraction were increased in the model+emodin group(P＜0.05).Compared with the model+emodin group,the left ventricular ejection fraction of emodin+3-methyladenine group was decreased(P＜0.05),and the left ventricular short axis shortening rate was reduced but not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(6)The above results indicate that emodin pretreatment can improve myocardial injury and myocardial dysfunction in septic mice by promoting autophagy.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is the most common clinical chronic liver disease with a global incidence of about 25%, which could progress to liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and posing a serious threat to human health. At present, China has not approved any therapeutic drugs for marketing, and the research and development of new drugs is imminent. It is difficult to achieve great efficacy with a single medication due to the complex mechanism of NAFLD. The combination of several drugs with different pharmacological mechanisms is an inevitable trend for the future treatment of NAFLD, which is expected to reduce the adverse effects of the drug and play a synergistic effect to produce better efficacy. This paper reviews the latest clinical research progress of NAFLD combined drugs, so as to provide a reference for the subsequent new drug development and clinical rational drugs application of NAFLD.

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.
