Objective:To investigate the correlation between transabdominal bowel ultrasongraphy (TBUS) parameters and disease activity of ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods:The results of TBUS, endoscopy and laboratory tests of 68 UC patients (108 examinations) who visited the Department of Gastroenterology of the Second Hospital (Eastern Campus) of Hebei Medical University From January 2022 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to Mayo endoscopic score (MES), there were 10 cases of remission (MES=0) and 98 cases of active phase (MES>0); patients in active phase further classified into 16 cases of mild (MES=1), 19 cases of moderate (MES=2), and 63 cases of severe (MES=3). The TAUS parameters were compared between patients in remission and active phases. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the TBUS parameters including bowel wall thickness (BWT), Limberg score, wall layer stratification, fat wrapping and endoscopic activity score, laboratory inflammatory indicators. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was applied to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the TBUS parameters and laboratory inflammatory indicators in identifying remission under endoscopy. Independent sample t-test and Fisher′s exact probability method were used to compare the two groups. Results:The BWT of patients in remission was significantly thinner than that of patients in active phase ((2.99±0.41) mm vs. (5.66±1.57) mm, t=-5.34, P<0.001). The proportions of patients in remisson with Limberg score ≤2, normal wall layer stratification, and absence of fat wrapping were significantly higher than those of patients in active phase (10/10 vs. 34/98, 10/10 vs. 48/98, 10/10 vs. 41/98, Fisher′s exact test, P<0.001, =0.002, =0.001). BWT, Limberg score, wall layer stratification, and fat wrapping were positively correlated with MES ( r=0.676, 0.677, 0.441, and 0.493, all P<0.001). BWT and Limberg score were moderate positively correlated with C-hypersensitive reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and fecal calprotectin (BWT: r=0.561, 0.420 and 0.458, all P<0.001; Limberg score: r=0.576, 0.469 and 0.403, all P<0.001), and were negatively correlated with serum albumin and hemoglobin (BWT: r=-0.604 and -0.453, both P<0.001; Limberg score: r=-0.573 and -0.532, both P<0.001). The results of ROC analysis showed that BWT achieved the best predictive efficacy in identifying endoscopic remission, and the best cut-off value was 3.45 mm (area under the curve was 0.972, 95% confidence interval: 0.944 to 1.000, P<0.001), with a sensitivity of 93.9% and specificity of 100.0%. Conclusions:TBUS parameters can accurately reflect disease activity in UC. It is a powerful tool for UC monitoring. The BWT<3.45 mm is the best cut-off value in prediction of endoscopic remission.

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 observe the short-term efficacy and adverse reactions of dicycloplatin in the treatment of malignant tumors. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in our hospital from January 2017 to August 2018 using dicycloplatin to treat patients with malignant tumors. The efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated after at least 2 cycles of chemotherapy. Results Among the 20 patients with an average of 4 cycles of chemotherapy, 1 had complete remission (CR), 4 had partial remission (PR), 7 had stable diseases (SD), 8 had progression (PD). The total efficacy was 25%. The control rate was 60%. The KPS scores for quality of life was higher than that before treatment (P<0.05). The main adverse effects during chemotherapy were bone marrow suppression, gastro-intestinal reactions. The incidence of leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, reduced hemoglobin, nausea vomiting and liver damage was 45%, 35%, 50%, 20%, and 5%, respectively. Conclusion Dicycloplatin-based chemotherapy has a good curative effect on malignant tumors, and the adverse reactions are mild and tolerable, which deserves further clinical observation and application.

Objective: Adiponectin (APN) is an endogenous cytokine that mediates the development and progression of various tumors through its receptors (AdipoRs). The present study aimed to detect the expression and distribution of APN and its receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). Moreover, we explored whether the locoregional expression of APN was reg-ulated by HIF-1α in the hypoxic microenvironment. Methods: The expression and distribution of APN and its receptors in TSCC tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemical. Lentiviral expression vector for HIF-1α shRNA was constructed and stably transfected in TSCC cells to knock down HIF-1α expression. The mRNA and protein expression levels of APN and its receptors were detected using RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively, after hypoxic treatment. Results: The locoregional expression of APN and AdipoR1, but not AdipoR2, was upregulated at the early stages of T1, T2, and/or N0 stage, respectively, in tumor tissues compared to that in control paracancer-ous tissues (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expression of APN and AdipoR1, but not AdipoR2, in TSCC cells was up-regulated on hypoxic treat-ment. Moreover, the expression of APN and AdipoR1 was down-regulated after shRNA knockdown of HIF-1α under hypoxia. Conclu-sions: The APN-AdipoR1 signaling pathway was activated and regulated by HIF-1α in the hypoxic environment of TSCC tissues.

Objective To explore the application of WeChat-based intervention in out-of-hospital continuous nursing for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS). Methods Totally 80 ALS patients hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2016 to October 2017 were selected by convenient sampling and divided control(n=40) and study(n=40) groups according to the random number table. Patients in the control group received conventional health guidance at discharge, while patients in the study group underwent WeChat-based intervention on this basis. ALS Functional Rating Scale(ALS-FRS) was used to evaluate the effects of intervention. Results The ALS-FRS score of the study group six months post intervention was (20.1±6.5), higher than(13.4±3.2) of the control group, and there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.01). Conclusions As a major approach of communication in continuous nursing, WeChat delays the progression of ALS patients,which is worth promoting in clinical practice.

In order to search for new antiplatelet agents with higher potency, a series of tetramethylpyrazine ( TMP) /chalcone hybrids ( 2-26) were synthesized and evaluated based on the principle of bioisostere and hybrid-ization. They exerted inhibitory activity against adenosine diphosphate ( ADP )-induced and arachidonic acid ( AA)-induced platelet aggregation to varied extent. Among them, compound 8 was the most potent with IC50 of 0. 14 mmol/L on ADP-induced platelet aggregation ( 9. 1 folds of TMP and 10. 5 folds of chalcone ) and 0. 09 mmol/L on AA-induced platelet aggregation ( 8. 8 folds of TMP and 10. 0 folds of chalcone) , which was superior to clinically used anti-platelet drug aspirin ( ASP, IC50 =0. 15 mmol/L) .
