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 application effect of exercise rehabilitation based on the Health Participation Model in patients with lung cancer surgery.Methods A total of 108 patients with lung cancer hospitalised in our hospital between January and December 2022 were randomly divided into two groups:a control group and a intervention group,with 54 patients per group.The control group was offered with routine exercise rehabilitation,while patients in the research group underwent exercise rehabilitation based on the Health Participation Model.Results One month after discharge,the research group showed higher levels in the first second maximum expiratory volume(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),maximum ventilatory volume(MVV)and FEV1/FVC ratio in comparison with those in the control group(all P<0.001).The total score of postoperative rehabilitation quality and the scores of its dimensions were all higher in the research group than those in the control group one month after discharge(all P<0.001),except the dimension of psychological support.Conclusion Incorporation of the Health Participation Model into the postoperative rehabilitation program for lung cancer patients can improve lung function and promote the postoperative rehabilitation.

We report a case of a pregnant woman with 46,XX karyotype and positive sex-determining region on the Y chromosome ( SRY) gene and her female fetus. Ultrasound examination at 12 +6 gestational weeks indicated a thickened fetal nuchal translucency, and 46, XX with a positive SRY gene was detected in the fetus through quantitative fluorescent-polymerase chain reaction and amniotic fluid karyotype. However, the ultrasound showed that the gender of the fetus was female, which was inconsistent with the phenotype of male syndrome with 46, XX combining positive SRY gene. The fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed that the short arm of the Y chromosome translocated to the long arm of one of the X chromosomes, namely Yp11.3-Xq28. In addition, a copy number variation at Yp11.31p11.2 copy (about 1 MB) was found by chromosomal microarray analysis, which validated the result of FISH and was consistent with the mother. After genetic counseling, the parents chose to continue the pregnancy to full term, and no abnormalities were found in the infant during the follow-up.

Enteral nutrition (EN) is an important way in the treatment of Crohn′s disease (CD) . Although the exact pathogenesis of CD is still unknown, CD patients have some significant pathological features compared with healthy population, including intestinal flora dysbiosis, excessive intestinal mucosal inflammation, intestinal mucosal damage, mesenteric fat abnormality, etc. This review explores the mechanism of EN in the treatment of CD in order to better understand the role of EN in modifying CD disease progression and to promote the clinical management of CD.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the advantages and technical limitations of various molecular genetic techniques in the diagnosis of two infants featuring all-round developmental retardation. METHODS: The two patients were initially screened by using chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). For patient 1, his parents were also subjected to CMA analysis, and the data was analyzed by using ChAS and UPD-tool software. For patient 2, methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR) was carried out. RESULTS: Patient 1 was diagnosed with maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) type Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) by CMA and UPD-tool family analysis. His chromosomes 15 were of maternal UPD with homology/heterology. Patient 2 was diagnosed with deletion type PWS by combined CMA and MS-PCR. CONCLUSION Correct selection of laboratory methods based on the advantages and limitations of various molecular techniques can help with diagnosis of genomic imprinting disorders and enable better treatment and prognosis through early intervention.

Objective: To investigate the diagnosis and treatment for enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) in China, and to explore the prognostic factors of ECF. Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted based on the Registration System of Chinese Gastrointestinal Fistula and Intra-Abdominal Infections to collect the clinical data of ECF patients from 54 medical centers in 22 provinces/municipalities from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. The clinical data included patient gender, age, length of hospital stay, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, underlying diseases, primary diseases, direct causes of ECF, location and type of ECF, complications, treatment and outcomes. All medical records were carefully filled in by the attending physicians, and then re-examined by more than two specialists. The diagnosis of ECF was based on the clinical manifestations, laboratory/imaging findings and intraoperative exploration. Results: A total of 1521 patients with ECF were enrolled, including 1099 males and 422 females, with a median age of 55 years. The top three primary diseases of ECF were malignant tumors in 626 cases (41.2%, including 540 gastrointestinal tumors, accounting for 86.3% of malignant tumors), gastrointestinal ulcers and perforations in 202 cases (13.3%), and trauma in 157 cases (10.3%). The direct causes of ECF were mainly surgical operation in 1194 cases (78.5%), followed by trauma in 156 (10.3%), spontaneous fistula due to Crohn′s disease in 92 (6.0%), radiation intestinal injury in 41 (2.7%), severe pancreatitis in 20 (1.3%), endoscopic treatment in 13 (0.9%) and 5 cases (0.3%) of unknown reasons. All the patients were divided into three groups: 1350 cases (88.7%) with simple ECF, 150 (9.9%) with multiple ECF, and 21 (1.4%) with combined internal fistula. Among the patients with simple ECF, 438 cases (28.8%) were jejuno-ileal fistula, 313 (20.6%) colon fistula, 170 (11.2%) rectal fistula, 111 (7.3%) duodenal fistula, 76 (5.0%) ileocecal fistula, 65 (4.3%) ileocolic anastomotic fistula, 55 (3.6%) duodenal stump fistula, 36 (2.4%) gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula, 36 (2.4%) esophagogastric/esophagojejunal anastomotic fistula, 29 (1.9%) gastric fistula and 21 (1.4%) cholangiopancreatiointestinal. Among all the simple ECF patients, 991 were tubular fistula and 359 were labial fistula. A total of 1146 patients finished the treatment, of whom 1061 (92.6%) were healed (586 by surgery and 475 self-healing) and 85 (7.4%) died. A total of 1043 patients (91.0%) received nutritional support therapy, and 77 (6.7%) received fistuloclysis. Infectious source control procedures were applied to 1042 patients, including 711 (62.0%) with active lavage and drainage and 331 (28.9%) with passive drainage. Among them, 841 patients (73.4%) underwent minimally invasive procedures of infectious source control (replacement of drainage tube through sinus tract, puncture drainage, etc.), 201 (17.5%) underwent laparotomy drainage, while 104 (9.1%) did not undergo any drainage measures. A total of 610 patients (53.2%) received definitive operation, 24 patients died within postoperative 30-day with mortality of 3.9% (24/610), 69 (11.3%) developed surgical site infection (SSI), and 24 (3.9%) had a relapse of fistula. The highest cure rate was achieved in ileocecal fistula (100%), followed by rectal fistula (96.2%, 128/133) and duodenal stump fistula (95.7%,44/46). The highest mortality was found in combined internal fistula (3/12) and no death in ileocecal fistula. Univariate prognostic analysis showed that primary diseases as Crohn′s disease (χ²=6.570, P=0.010) and appendicitis/appendiceal abscess (P=0.012), intestinal fistula combining with internal fistula (χ²=5.460, P=0.019), multiple ECF (χ²=7.135, P=0.008), esophagogastric / esophagojejunal anastomotic fistula (χ²=9.501, P=0.002), ECF at ileocecal junction (P=0.012), non-drainage/passive drainage before the diagnosis of intestinal fistula (χ²=9.688, P=0.008), non-drainage/passive drainage after the diagnosis of intestinal fistula (χ²=9.711, P=0.008), complicating with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (χ²=179.699, P<0.001), sepsis (χ²=211.851, P<0.001), hemorrhage (χ²=85.300, P<0.001), pulmonary infection (χ²=60.096, P<0.001), catheter-associated infection (χ²=10.617, P=0.001) and malnutrition (χ²=21.199, P<0.001) were associated with mortality. Multivariate prognostic analysis cofirmed that sepsis (OR=7.103, 95%CI:3.694-13.657, P<0.001), complicating with MODS (OR=5.018, 95%CI:2.170-11.604, P<0.001), and hemorrhage (OR=4.703, 95%CI: 2.300-9.618, P<0.001) were independent risk factors of the death for ECF patients. Meanwhile, active lavage and drainage after the definite ECF diagnosis was the protective factor (OR=0.223, 95%CI: 0.067-0.745, P=0.015). Conclusions The overall mortality of ECF is still high. Surgical operation is the most common cause of ECF. Complications e.g. sepsis, MODS, hemorrhage, and catheter-associated infection, are the main causes of death. Active lavage and drainage is important to improve the prognosis of ECF.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) before definitive operation on postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) in patients with enterocutaneous fistula (ECF).Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinical data of 264 ECF patients (181 with euthyroidism and 83 with NTIS) who underwent definitive operation in the Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command between April 2014 and November 2016 were collected.After definitive operation,86 with SSI and 178 without SSI were respectively allocated into the SSI group and non-SSI group.Observation indicators:(1) risk factor analysis of postoperative SSI;(2) effect of preoperative NTIS on postoperative SSI;(3) predictive power of serum free triiodothyronine 3 (FT3) level on postoperative SSI.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x-± s and was analyzed using the t test.Count data were described as absolute number or percentage,and were analyzed using the chi-square test.The comparison of ordinal data was done by the nonparamentric test.The multivariate analysis was done using the logistic regression model.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn,and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated for analyzing predictive power of serum FT3 level on postoperative SSI.Results (1) Risk factor analysis of postoperative SSI:cases with volume of preoperative intestinal fluid loss through fistula stoma ＜ 200 mL/24 hours,from 200 to 500 mL/24 hours and ＞ 500 mL/24 hours,preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) level,cases with surgical site located in stomach and duodenum,small intestine,ileocolon and colorectum,cases with open surgery and laparoscopic surgery were respectively 65,15,6,(119±36)g/L,5,50,31,36,58,28 in the SSI group and 135,27,16,(125±39)g/L,11,91,53,71,127,51 in the non-SSI group,with no statistically significant difference between groups (x2 =0.471,t =1.202,x2 =0.332,0.422,P＞0.05).Cases with preoperative single.and multiple fistula stoma,serum albumin (Alb) level,cases with preoperative NTIS,volume of intraoperative blood loss ＜ 300 mL and ≥ 300 mL,operation duration ＜ 3 hours and ≥ 3 hours were respectively 57,29,(35±.8)g/L,36,67,19,53,33 in the SSI group and 146,32,(37±9)g/L,47,161,17,140,38 in the non-SSI group,with statistically significant differences between groups (x2 =8.089,t =2.422,x2 =6.426,7.746,8.547,P＜0.05).Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative multiple intestinal fistula and NTIS were independent factors affecting occurrence of postoperative SSI in ECF patients (odds ratio =1.873,2.464,95％ confidence interval:1.052-2.671,1.120-4.392).(2) Effect of preoperative NTIS on postoperative SSI:incidence of preoperative multiple intestinal fistula,proportion of cases with preoperative enteral nutrition time ＞3 months,incidence of postoperative SSI,postoperative superficial and deep incision infection rates and organ/space infection rate were respectively 31.3％ (26/83),72.3％ (60/83),43.4％ (36/83),9.6％ (8/83),21.7％(18/83),7.2％ (6/83) in patients with NTIS and 19.3％(35/181),57.5％(104/181),27.6％(50/181),11.6％(21/181),3.9％(7/181),8.8％ (16/181) in patients with euthyroidism,with statistically significant differences in incidence of multiple intestinal fistula,proportion of cases with preoperative enteral nutrition time ＞ 3 months,incidence of postoperative SSI,superficial and deep incision infection rates (x2 =4.603,5.319,6.426,4.256,4.377,P＜0.05),and no statistically significant difference in organ/space infection rate (x2=0.193,P＞0.05).(3) Predictive power of serum FT3 level on postoperative SSI:the ROC curve showed that optimal cut-off point of serum FT3 predicting postoperative SSI was 3.5 pmol/L,AUC,sensibility and specificity were respectively 0.75,72.6％ and 68.7％.Conclusion The presence of NTIS is associated with occurrence of postoperative SSI in patients with ECF before definitive operation,and optimal cut-off point of serum FT3 predicting postoperative SSI is 3.5 pmol/L.

OBJECTIVETo analyze a fetus with abnormal cardiac ultrasound by using various techniques and explore its genotype-phenotype correlation.

METHODSLymphocytes derived from umbilical cord blood sample were subjected to G-banding analysis. Short tandem repeats quantitative fluorescence PCR (STR-QF-PCR) was used for analysis of fetal DNA as an auxiliary test. Low-coverage whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to detect chromosomal deletion/duplication which exceeded 100 kb in size.

RESULTSThe karyotype of the fetus was 47,XN,+mar. As detected by STR-QF-PCR, the copy number of GATA178F11 locus on chromosome 18 was 4, and the duplicated fragment was derived from the mother. WGS suggested that the fetus to be 46,XN,dup(18p11.21p11.32).seq [GRCh37/hg19](10 001-15 378 887)× 4, with the duplicated fragment spanning approximately 15.38 Mb.

CONCLUSIONThe cardiac malformation of the fetus may be attributed to the partial duplication of chromosome 18p. Combined cytogenetic and molecular methods can facilitate prenatal detection of genetic abnormalities.

OBJECTIVETo assess the association of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor(GPER) gene polymorphism with social function of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

METHODSThe social function of 135 children with ADHD were assessed by Weiss Functional Impairment Scale-Parent form (WFIRS-P). The coding region of GPER gene of all patients was subjected to Sanger sequencing. The association of polymorphisms with the social function of the ADHD children was analyzed.

RESULTSIn the case group, the social function scores of Learning and School and Risky Activities of boys were significantly higher than those of girls (t=2.704, P=0.008; t=2.289, P=0.027). No significant difference was found in the genotypic frequencies of the c.-9T/C and c.789G/A loci between different genders. But the learning and school scores of those with a TC genotype for the c.-9T to C locus were significantly higher than those with a TT genotype (t= 2.159, P=0.033).

CONCLUSIONFor children with ADHD, the social function of Learning and School of those with a TC genotype of the GPER gene c.-9T/C locus is more severely damaged compared with those with a TT genotype.
