Objective To establish a new animal model of filum terminale traction tethered cord syndrome to explore its pathogenesis.Methods Sixteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into the traction group and the sham group,with 8 rabbits in each group.The traction group used silk thread to establish a model of filum terminale traction tethered cord syndrome,while the sham group only cut the filum terminale without traction.After 8 weeks,the behavioral Talov score,lumbosacral MRI examination,somatosensory evoked potential detection,urodynamic index test and pathological analysis were completed.Results At the 8th week after surgery,the hindlimb injury was obvious in the traction group,and the Talov scores at the 4th and 8th weeks after operation were lower than those in the sham group(P<0.001).The lumbosacral MRI results at 8 weeks after surgery showed that the distal filum terminale was pulled by silk thread,with bladder abnormal enlargement in sagital MRI in the traction group,while axial MRI showed the spinal cord within the spinal canal was subjected to mechanical forces in the downward and dorsal directions;the sagittal and axial MRI of the sham group showed that the spinal cord was located in the middle of the spinal canal and the bladder size was normal.At the 8th week after surgery,the amplitude in the traction group was significantly lower than that in the sham group(P<0.001),and the amplitude decreased by more than 50% .The overall latency period in the traction group was slightly longer than that in the sham group(P<0.05).The results of urodynamic examination showed that the maximum bladder capacity in the traction group was significantly higher than that in the sham group(Z=-3.361,P<0.001),the bladder pressure was significantly lower than that in the sham group(Z=-3.361,P<0.001),and the bladder compliance was significantly higher than that in the sham group(P<0.001).Pathological staining showed that the traction of the filum terminale on the spinal cord led to nerve tissue damage and degeneration of bladder epithelial cells.Conclusion This study successfully established a model of filum terminale traction tethered cord syndrome of New Zealand white rabbits,which can provide reference for exploring the pathogenesis of tethered cord and understanding the pathological process of spinal cord injury.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of andrographolide(AG)on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells(HK-2 cells).Methods HK-2 cells were treated with LPS to simulate the in vitro HK-2 injury model of sepsis.The cells were further treated with AG of 5,10,20,40 μmol/L and randomly divided into control group,LPS group,LPS+dimethyl sulfoxide group(DMSO group),and AG group.Cell viability was detected by the CCK-8 method,and the optimal concentrations of LPS and AG were screened.Cell morphological change,the levels of kidney injury markers,including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL),kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1),malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH)and reactive oxygen species(ROS),as well as the expression levels of ferroptosis regulatory proteins such as solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11),glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)and ferritin in each group were compared,and the pro-tective effect of AG treatment on the cells was evaluated.Results Compared with the control group,the cell viabi-lity and GSH content decreased significantly in HK-2 cells treated with 10 μg/mL LPS;cell shrinkage and adhesion ability were poor;the contents of oxidative products MDA and ROS,as well as the levels of kidney injury markers NGAL and KIM-1 increased significantly,while expression levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 protein decreased;ferritin expression level increased;differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Compared with LPS group,the cell viability,GSH content,as well as protein expression levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 increased significantly after AG intervention,while ferritin expression level decreased,differences were all significant(all P＜0.05).MDA content,ROS fluorescence intensity,and the levels of kidney injury markers NGAL and KIM-1 decreased sig-nificantly,difference were all significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion AG has a protective effect on LPS-induced HK-2 cell injury,possibly by activating SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway,reducing oxidative stress,up-regulating antioxi-dant enzyme activity,and alleviating ferroptosis.

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.
