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 investigate the factors affecting the quality of cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor. 【Methods】 The quality test results of cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor in Xuzhou Central Blood Station from 2017 to 2020 were selected and compared. The fresh frozen plasma (FFP) was stratifying by storage time following whole blood collection: less than 2h, 2~4 h, 4~6 h, and 6~8 h; by gender: males and females; by blood group: A, B, O, and AB groups; by age: 18~30, 30~45, and 45~60 ages; by preparation method: centrifugation and siphonage. The contents of fibrinogen (FIB) and factor Ⅷ in cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor in each group were compared. 【Results】 The content of FIB and factor Ⅷ in females were higher than those in males(P<0.05). The content of factor Ⅷ differed statically by blood groups (P<0.05), which was lower in group O than others [graup A(180.5±75.2)IU, graup B(155.1±59.4)IU, graup O(109.3±46.4)IU, graup AB(168.5±65.1)IU]. The content of factor Ⅷ increased with age statistically (P<0.05). The content of FIB prepared by centrifugation [(373.3±126.1)mg] was superior to siphonage [(309.4±85.6)mg] (P<0.05), while the content of factor Ⅷ prepared by siphonage [(172.4±71.3)IU] was superior to centrifugation [(124.0±49.1)mg] (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Gender and preparation method are the influencing factors of FIB. Gender, age, blood group and preparation method are the influencing factors of the content of factor Ⅷ. The FFP prepared by whole blood preserved with the ACD (citrate, sodium citrate and glucose) solution at any time within 8h after the collection has no impact on the quality of cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor.

Objective To understand the cognition and attitude of patients, medical staff and medical examination people on biobanks and their willingness to donation. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 452 individuals, including patients, medical staff and people receiving health checkup at a hospital in Beijing from July to September, 2017. The questionnaire assessed the respondents′demographic data, general knowledge about biobanking and the factors influencing their willingness to donate specimens to biobanks. Pearson′s Chi-square test, student t test or ANOVA were used for univariate analysis. Additionally, the linear regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were used for multivariate analyses. Results A total of 452 questionnaires were delivered, and the effective questionnaires amounted to 440, including 196 medical staff, 123 patients and 121 health checkup individuals. The awareness score of biobanks was significantly different among the medical staff, patients and health checkup individuals ( P < 0. 05 ) . After adjustment for potential risk factors, we found that the population characteristics and the experience of participation in a medical research were the independent beneficial factors of the awareness score. The percentage of the willingness of donation in medical staff, health checkup individuals and patients were 83. 7%, 76. 9% and 70. 7%, respectively. The results of univariate analyses suggested that the population characteristics, education level, health conditions, the history of blood donation, and the experience of participation in a medical research were significantly associated with the willingness to donate ( all P <0. 05 ) . Population characteristics and health conditions were independently relevant to the willingness of donation, after multivariate analyses of logistic regression. Conclusions Despite the strong willingness to donate biospecimens, patients and health checkup individuals lack knowledge of biobanking. It is apparent that we need to strengthen promotions and to encourage the ethics and humanities to improve the knowledge of biosample donation, for healthy development of hospital-based biobanks.

Objective:
To investigate the histomorpholgic spectrum, immunophenotypic, and molecular genetic features of Sertoli cell tumor, not otherwise specified (SCT, NOS) of the testis.
Methods:
Seven cases of SCT, NOS of the testis were analyzed(4 from Peking University Third Hospital and 3 from Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital) between 2008 and 2017. The histopathologic features were examined based on HE staining, and EnVision method was used for immunohistochemistry staining of calretinin, inhibin, β-catenin, cyclinD1, CD10, CKpan, neuroendocrine markers, WT1, Melan A, vimentin, SALL4, GATA3, PAX8, and S-100 protein. Mutational analysis of exon 3 of the CTNNB1 gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified sequences and direct sequencing was performed.
Results:
Patients ages ranged from 22 to 65 years (mean 43 years). The clinical manifestation in all was a slowly enlarging, painless testicular mass.The maximum diameter of the tumor ranged from 1.5 cm to 3.0 cm (mean 2.1 cm). Sectioning usually disclosed a tan-gray to white mass with vague lobular cut-surface. Microscopically, the tumors were well circumscribed and non-encapsulated; the tumor cells were rearranged in multiple growth patterns from diffuse solid sheets to trabeculae and cords, ribbon and solid or hollow tubules setting in variable amount of acellular fibrous stroma. Two cases showed acellular collagenous stroma constituted >50% of the tumor confirming to the diagnosis of sclerosing SCT. One case demonstrated a prominent myxoid stromal change. The tumor cells typically had moderate amounts of pale to lightly eosinophilic cytoplasm, 2 tumors had variable cells with abundant lipid-rich cytoplasm, and 1 other tumor showed scattered aggregates of multinucleated tumor cells. The tumor cells were bland-appearing without any evidence of atypia, mitoses were noted in 2 tumors (both were 1/50 HPF), but necrosis was absent. Immunohistochemical staining results as follows: vimentin (diffuse, 7/7), CD10 (diffuse membrane, 7/7); diffuse β-catenin nuclear and cytoplasm staining in 5 of 7 cases, and all the 5 cases showed diffuse cyclin D1 nuclear staining, β-catenin membrane staining in 2 of 7 cases, CKpan (5/7, focal or diffuse), calretinin (focal, 5/6), inhibin (focal, 3/7), synaptophysin (focal, 2/6), CD56 (focal or diffuse, 4/5), WT1 (diffuse nuclear, 4/5), and S-100 protein (diffuse, 3/7), and chromogranin A, Melan A, PAX8, GATA3 and SALL4 all were negative. Molecular genetic studies of PCR and direct sequencing showed CTNNB1 mutations in 4 of 7 (4/7) cases, 4 of the four mutation-carrying cases showed diffuse β-catenin nuclear and cytoplasm immunoreactivity and diffuse cyclin D1 nuclear immunoreactivity in the tumor cells.
Conclusions
SCT, NOS of the testis typically shows significant heterogeneities in both morphology and immunohistochemistry, thus causing differential diagnostic confusions. Molecular analyses showed mutations of exon 3 of CTNNB1 in more than half of these tumors, and nuclear accumulation of β-catenin and over expression of cyclin D1 can be useful for the differential diagnosis of SCT, NOS.

Objective:
To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, immunophenotypes, molecular genetics, and diagnostic and differential diagnostic features of biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS).
Methods:
Three cases of BSNS were retrieved, the histomorphology, immunophenotype and molecular genetics were analyzed with review of literature.
Results:
There were 2 male and 1 female patient aged 45, 29 and 40 years, respectively.Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations showed a large polypoid mass occupying the sinonasal cavity in all 3 patients. Microscopically, these tumors were un-circumscribed and composed of cellular spindle-shaped cells arranged in long and interlaced fascicles. A hemangiopericytoma-like growth pattern was frequently identified. The overlying hyperplastic respiratory epithelium invaginated down into the tumor forming a cystic (2 cases), glandular (1 case) structures and inverted in a papilloma-like (1 case)pattern, and foci of eosinophilic metaplasia were also noted in 2 of the three cases. The tumor nuclei were bland-appearing, mitoses were scarce and necrosis was absent. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed co-expression of neural and myogenic markers in all the 3 cases, including that 3/3 showed diffuse and strong positivity of S-100 protein, 3/3 positivity of smooth muscle actin (1 diffuse and 2 focal), 1/2 diffuse positivity of calponin, 1/3 focal positivity of desmin, and 1/1 focal positivity of MyoD1.In addition, 1 detected for β-catenin showed focal nuclear positivity. None of the 3 showed positivity to cytokeratin, CD34 or SOX10 in the tumor cells.Ki-67 showed an index <5%, 10% and <2%, respectively. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed rearrangements of PAX3 gene in all 3 cases. In case 3, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, followed by Sanger sequencing, demonstrated an in-frame fusion between PAX3 and FOXO1.Follow-up information (range 3-15 months)showed no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis in three cases.
Conclusions
BSNS is a newly described entity which can be readily confused with a variety of benign and malignant spindle cell tumors encountered in the sinonasal cavity; immunohistochemistry co-expression of neural and myogenic markers and PAX3 gene rearrangement can help distinguish this tumor from its many mimickers.
