Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

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.

Objective:To explore the effects of miR-21-5p exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on apoptosis of human granular cells.Methods:A granular cell apoptosis model was constructed by treating KGN cells with different concentrations (0 μmol/L, 30 μmol/L, 60 μmol/L, and 100 μmol/L) of phosphoramide nitrogen mustard for 48 h. The mRNA and protein levels of bax and bcl2 were detected using qPCR and Western blotting, respectively. The apoptosis rate was measured using flow cytometry to screen for the optimal concentration of phosphoramide nitrogen mustard for constructing an apoptosis model. Hsa-miR-21-5p overexpression plasmid was used for instantaneously transfecting human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and the expression level of hsa-miR-21-5p was detected by qPCR. The miR-21-5p exosomes were separated and identified by flow cytometry and electron microscope. Different concentrations (5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL and 15 μg/mL) of miR-21 exosomes were added into successful KGN cell apoptosis model to overexpress miR-21. The mRNA and protein levels of bax and bcl2 were detected using qPCR and Western blotting, respectively. PKH-26 was used to trace the position of human granular cells. Results:The levels of bax mRNA and protein in KGN cells treated with 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard were significantly higher than those in the 0 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group (all P<0.001), while the levels of bcl2 mRNA and protein were significantly higher than those in the 0 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group ( P=0.005, P<0.001). The apoptosis rate of KGN cells after 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard intervention was (38.10±2.90)%, while the apoptosis rate of KGN cells after 30 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard intervention was (16.75±2.55)%, they were all significantly higher than that of the 0 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard intervention group ( P=0.020, P=0.006). Hsa-miR-21-5p was transiently transfected into human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells, and the expression of has-miR-21-5p was higher than that in control group detected by qPCR ( P<0.001). The positive rate of surface protein CD9, CD63 and CD81 was 14.9%, 16.4% and 31.4%. The exosome was observed as "tea tray" or "concave hemisphere" by electron microscope. The exosome labeled by PKH-26 entered the granular cells and exerted biological effects. There was no statistically significant difference in bax mRNA expression levels between the 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 15 μg/mL empty plasmid exosomes groups and the 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group (all P>0.05). However, the expression levels of bax mRNA in the 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 15 μg/mL miR-21-5-p exosomes groups were lower than those in the 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group ( P=0.008, P=0.003, P<0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression of bcl2 mRNA among the groups (all P>0.05). From the perspective of protein levels, there was no statistically significant difference in BAX protein expression between the 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 15 μg/mL empty exosomes groups and 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group (all P>0.05), while the 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 15 μg/mL miR-21-5-p exosomes groups showed a decrease in BAX protein expression compared with the 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression of BCL2 protein among the intervention groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Hsa-miR-21-5p exosomes derived from human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells can effectively exert the anti-apoptotic effect.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a mindfulness-based psychosomatic intervention on depression, anxiety, fear of childbirth (FOC), and life satisfaction of pregnant women in China. METHODS: Women experiencing first-time pregnancy ( n = 104) were randomly allocated to the intervention group or a parallel active control group. We collected data at baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1), 3 days after delivery (T2), and 42 days after delivery (T3). The participants completed questionnaires for the assessment of the levels of depression, anxiety, FOC, life satisfaction, and mindfulness. Differences between the two groups and changes within the same group were analyzed at four time points using repeated-measures analysis of variance. RESULTS: Compared with the active control group, the intervention group reported lower depression levels at T2 ( P = 0.038) and T3 ( P = 0.013); reduced anxiety at T1 ( P = 0.001) and T2 ( P = 0.003); reduced FOC at T1 ( P < 0.001) and T2 ( P = 0.04); increased life satisfaction at T1 ( P < 0.001) and T3 ( P = 0.015); and increased mindfulness at T1 ( P = 0.01) and T2 ( P = 0.006). CONCLUSION The mindfulness-based psychosomatic intervention effectively increased life satisfaction and reduced perinatal depression, anxiety, and FOC.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of hand controlled rhythm music therapy on unilateral spatial neglect for stroke patients. MethodsFrom September, 2020 to September, 2022, 52 patients with unilateral spatial neglect after stroke in Wuxi Central Rehabilitation Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 26) and observation group (n = 26). Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation, and the observation group accepted hand controlled rhythm music therapy in addition, for eight weeks. Before and after treatment, the patients were assessed with Chinese Behavioral Inattention Test-Hong Kong version (CBIT-HK) routine tests (line crossing, letter cancellation, star cancellation, line bisection, figure and shape copying, and representational drawing) and modified Barthel Index (MBI). ResultsAfter treatment, six scores of CBIT-HK routine tests and the scores of MBI increased in both groups (|t| > 3.077, P < 0.05), and they were higher in the observation group than in the control group (|t| > 2.639, P < 0.05). ConclusionHand controlled rhythm music therapy could effectively alleviate the symptoms of unilateral spatial neglect after stroke, and improve the activities of daily living.

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.
