To guide transfusion practice in critically ill children who often need plasma and platelet transfusions, the Transfusion and Anemia Expertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding (TAXI-CAB) developed Recommendations and Expert Consensus for Plasma and Platelet Transfusion Practice in Critically Ill Children. This guideline addresses 53 recommendations related to plasma and platelet transfusion in critically ill children with 8 kinds of diseases, laboratory testing, selection/treatment of plasma and platelet components, and research priorities. This paper introduces the specific methods and results of the recommendation formation of the guideline.

Tumor drug resistance is an important problem in the failure of chemotherapy and targeted drug therapy, which is a complex process involving chromatin remodeling. SWI/SNF is one of the most studied ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes in tumorigenesis, which plays an important role in the coordination of chromatin structural stability, gene expression, and post-translation modification. However, its mechanism in tumor drug resistance has not been systematically combed. SWI/SNF can be divided into 3 types according to its subunit composition: BAF, PBAF, and ncBAF. These 3 subtypes all contain two mutually exclusive ATPase catalytic subunits (SMARCA2 or SMARCA4), core subunits (SMARCC1 and SMARCD1), and regulatory subunits (ARID1A, PBRM1, and ACTB, etc.), which can control gene expression by regulating chromatin structure. The change of SWI/SNF complex subunits is one of the important factors of tumor drug resistance and progress. SMARCA4 and ARID1A are the most widely studied subunits in tumor drug resistance. Low expression of SMARCA4 can lead to the deletion of the transcription inhibitor of the BCL2L1 gene in mantle cell lymphoma, which will result in transcription up-regulation and significant resistance to the combination therapy of ibrutinib and venetoclax. Low expression of SMARCA4 and high expression of SMARCA2 can activate the FGFR1-pERK1/2 signaling pathway in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma cells, which induces the overexpression of anti-apoptosis gene BCL2 and results in carboplatin resistance. SMARCA4 deletion can up-regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by activating YAP1 gene expression in triple-negative breast cancer. It can also reduce the expression of Ca²⁺ channel IP3R3 in ovarian and lung cancer, resulting in the transfer of Ca²⁺ needed to induce apoptosis from endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria damage. Thus, these two tumors are resistant to cisplatin. It has been found that verteporfin can overcome the drug resistance induced by SMARCA4 deletion. However, this inhibitor has not been applied in clinical practice. Therefore, it is a promising research direction to develop SWI/SNF ATPase targeted drugs with high oral bioavailability to treat patients with tumor resistance induced by low expression or deletion of SMARCA4. ARID1A deletion can activate the expression of ANXA1 protein in HER2+ breast cancer cells or down-regulate the expression of progesterone receptor B protein in endometrial cancer cells. The drug resistance of these two tumor cells to trastuzumab or progesterone is induced by activating AKT pathway. ARID1A deletion in ovarian cancer can increase the expression of MRP2 protein and make it resistant to carboplatin and paclitaxel. ARID1A deletion also can up-regulate the phosphorylation levels of EGFR, ErbB2, and RAF1 oncogene proteins.The ErbB and VEGF pathway are activated and EMT is increased. As a result, lung adenocarcinoma is resistant to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). Although great progress has been made in the research on the mechanism of SWI/SNF complex inducing tumor drug resistance, most of the research is still at the protein level. It is necessary to comprehensively and deeply explore the detailed mechanism of drug resistance from gene, transcription, protein, and metabolite levels by using multi-omics techniques, which can provide sufficient theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of poor tumor prognosis caused by mutation or abnormal expression of SWI/SNF subunits in clinical practice.

ObjectiveBased on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), we investigated the brain activity characteristics of gross motor tasks in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and motor dysfunctions (MDs) to provide a theoretical basis for further understanding the mechanism of MDs in children with ASD and designing targeted intervention programs from a central perspective. MethodsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 48 children with ASD accompanied by MDs were recruited into the ASD group and 40 children with typically developing (TD) into the TD group. The fNIRS device was used to collect the information of blood oxygen changes in the cortical motor-related brain regions during single-handed bag throwing and tiptoe walking, and the differences in brain activation and functional connectivity between the two groups of children were analyzed from the perspective of brain activation and functional connectivity. ResultsCompared to the TD group, in the object manipulative motor task (one-handed bag throwing), the ASD group showed significantly reduced activation in both left sensorimotor cortex (SMC) and right secondary visual cortex (V2) (P<0.05), whereas the right pre-motor and supplementary motor cortex (PMC&SMA) had significantly higher activation (P<0.01) and showed bilateral brain region activity; in terms of brain functional integration, there was a significant decrease in the strength of brain functional connectivity (P<0.05) and was mainly associated with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and V2. In the body stability motor task (tiptoe walking), the ASD group had significantly higher activation in motor-related brain regions such as the DLPFC, SMC, and PMC&SMA (P<0.05) and showed bilateral brain region activity; in terms of brain functional integration, the ASD group had lower strength of brain functional connectivity (P<0.05) and was mainly associated with PMC&SMA and V2. ConclusionChildren with ASD exhibit abnormal brain functional activity characteristics specific to different gross motor tasks in object manipulative and body stability, reflecting insufficient or excessive compensatory activation of local brain regions and impaired cross-regions integration, which may be a potential reason for the poorer gross motor performance of children with ASD, and meanwhile provides data support for further unraveling the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of MDs in the context of ASD and designing targeted intervention programs from a central perspective.

hippocampus and HT22 cells of hypoxia pre-acclimated(HPC)mice and their relationship with neuroprotection.Methods(1)Thirty-six male Institute of Cancer Research(ICR)mice were randomly divided into three groups according to the random number table method of complete randomization:the control group,the hypoxia group and the hypoxia preconditioning group,with 12mice in each group.Mice in the control group were not exposed to hypoxia,mice in the hypoxia group were exposed to hypoxia once,and mice in the hypoxia preconditioning group were exposed to hypoxia four times.Immediately after the end of hypoxia treatment,all mice were decapitated and killed and hippocampal tissues were isolated and preserved in groups.(2)HT22 cells were cultured in medium containing 10％foetal bovine serum and 100 U/ml penicillin-streptomycin.When cell confluence was greater than 90％,they were transferred to 24-well plates for culture and then processed in 2 batches.6 pmol disordered small interfering RNA(siRNA),MALAT1 siRNA(siMALAT1),NEAT1 siRNA(siNEAT1),siMALAT1+siNEAT1 were transfected into the negative control group,siMALAT1 group,siNEAT1 group,and siMALAT1+siNEAT1 group of the first batch of HT22 cells one by one by transfection reagent,and the blank group did not have any treatment;then they were cultured under normal conditions(5％CO2 and 95％air)for 48 h.In the second batch of HT22 cells,6 pmol of disordered siRNA,disordered siRNA,siMALAT1,siMALAT1,siNEAT1 and siNEAT1 were transfected one by one correspondingly to the negative control group and the negative control+oxygen-glucose deprived/reoxygen(OGD/R)group,siMALAT1 group,siMALAT1+OGD/R,siNEAT1 group,siNEAT1+OGD/R group.48 h after transfection,HT22 cells of negative control group,siMALAT1 group and siNEAT1 group were cultured under normal conditions(5％CO2 and 95％air),and the cells of negative control+OGD/R group,siMALAT1+OGD/R group and siNEAT1+OGD/R group were treated with OGD/R.That is,under low oxygen conditions(1％O2+5％CO2+94％N2)exposure for 8 h,and then culture under normal conditions for 16 h.(3)The real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and Western blot was

mRNA(F=50.64)and NR2B protein(F=41.24)in the hippocampus of mice in the three groups were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The relative expression of MALAT1([1.68±0.06]vs.[1.00±0.08]),NR2B mRNA([1.26±0.06]vs.[1.00±0.01]),and NR2B protein([1.47±0.05]vs.[1.00±0.01])was increased in the hypoxia group as compared to the control group(all P＜0.05),whereas the relative expression of NEAT1([1.02±0.10]vs.[1.00±0.03])were not statistically significant(P＞0.05),and the relative expression of MALAT1([1.12±0.13]vs.[1.00±0.08])and NEAT1([2.88±0.10]vs.[1.00±0.03])were increased in hypoxic preconditioned group.Compared with hypoxia group,the relative expression of NR2B mRNA([0.54±0.07]vs.[1.26±0.06])and NR2B protein([1.17±0.07]vs.[1.47±0.05])were decreased(both P＜0.05).(2)The differences in the relative expression of NR2B mRNA(F=36.92)and NR2B protein(F=56.98)after transfection of HT22 cells in the five groups were statistically significant(both P＜0.05).Compared with the negative control group,siMALAT1 group(NR2B mRNA:[2.04±0.08]vs.[0.94±0.04],NR2B protein:[1.72±0.13]vs.[0.93±0.02]),siNEAT1 group(NR2B mRNA:[2.15±0.13]vs.[0.94±0.04],NR2B protein:[1.87±0.46]vs.[0.93±0.02]),siMALAT1+siNEAT1 group(NR2BmRNA:[2.09±0.16]vs.[0.94±0.04],NR2B protein:[2.07±0.30]vs.[0.93±0.02])showed the relative NR2B mRNA and NR2B protein expression were increased(all P＜0.05).(3)Differences in relative expression of haematopoietin breakdown product(145/150 kDa)protein(F=12.43),haematopoietin breakdown product(120 kDa)protein(F=7.15),and activated cysteamine protease protein 3 protein(F=6.61)were statistically significant in the 6 groups of HT22 cells transfected and treated with OGD/R(all P＜0.05).Compared with the siMALAT1 group,the siMALAT1+OGD/R group had 145/150kDa([1.42±0.48]vs.[0.85±0.34]),120 kDa([1.33±0.37]vs.[0.52±0.19])haematopoietin catabolism products and activated cysteamine protease protein 3([2.43±0.35]vs.[1.15±0.24])relative expression increased(all P＜0.05);compared with the negative control+OGD/R group,the siMALAT1+OGD/R group showed an increase in 145/150kDa([1.42±0.48]vs.[1.23±0.17]),120 kDa([1.33±0.37]vs.[0.80±0.21])relative expression of haematopoietin breakdown products and activated cysteamine protease protein 3([2.43±0.35]vs.[1.46±0.39])increased(all P＜0.05);compared with the siNEAT1 group,the siNEAT1+OGD/R group had a higher expression of 145/150 kDa([1.28±0.44]vs.[0.87±0.32]),120 kDa([0.81±0.36]vs.[0.63±0.16])relative expression of haematopoietic proteolytic products and activated cysteamine protease protein 3([1.51±0.45]vs.[1.01±0.27])increased(all P＜0.05).(4)The difference in HT22 cell survival rate among the 6 groups was statistically significant(F=5.54,P＜0.05).Compared with the negative control group,HT22 cell survival was decreased in the siMALAT1,siNEAT1,siMALAT1+OGD/R and siNEAT1+OGD/R groups([0.65±0.40],[0.76±0.35],[0.24±0.17],[0.23±0.16]vs.[0.84±0.04],all P＜0.05);cell viability was reduced in the siMALAT1+OGD/R group compared with the siMALAT1 group([0.24±0.17]vs.[0.65±0.40],P＜0.05);and cell viability was reduced in the siNEAT1+OGD/R group compared with the siNEAT1 group([0.23±0.16]vs.[0.76±0.35],P＜0.05).Conclusion HPC increased the expression of MALAT1 and NEAT1 in the hippocampus of mice,and MALAT1 and NEAT1 may participate in the neuroprotective effect of mice after ischemia and hypoxia by affecting the expression of NR2B.

Objective To explore the hearing and cochlear histomorphological changes in APP/PS1 transgenic mice during the process of AD and to determine whether the occurrence and development of AD affect their hearing function.Methods APP/PS1 transgenic mice and wild type littermates were selected at the ages of4,8 and 12 months.Changes to the auditory function of APP/PS1 transgenic mice over time were detected by immunofluorescence staining and auditory brainstem response(ABR)test.Results Compared with the control group,the 4-month-old APP/PS1 transgenic mice had a significantly increased number of Aβ plaques in the hippocampus,indicating that AD symptoms were already present at this time.At the ages of 4,8 and 12 months,there was no significant difference in the hearing threshold between APP/PS1 transgenic mice and wild type mice.Histomorphological examination of the cochlea showed no significant difference in key cells of he inner ear,such as cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion,between the two groups of mice.An ABR test showed that the hearing threshold of both APP/PS1 transgenic mice and wild type littermates increased significantly with age,and both groups showed age-related hearing loss.Conclusions There was age-related hearing loss in APP/PS1 transgenic mice,but the occurrence and development of AD had little effect on their auditory functions.

Objective:To better evaluate the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) based on liver transient elastography.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 6 961 patients without hepatitis, who underwent liver transient elastography examination at the Department of Hepatology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from November, 2021 to April, 2022 were included. The patients were categorized into normal and mild, moderate, severe MAFLD groups according to FibroTouch controlled attenuation parameters (CAP). The CAP values among different body mass index (BMI) groups were compared using analysis of variance. The distribution characteristics and the incidence of MAFLD in different age, gender, body mass index(BMI), blood glucose and lipids groups using the chi-square test.Results:The total detection rate of MAFLD and severe MAFLD in the population with a BMI≥28.0 kg/m 2 was 99.6% and 71.8%, respectively. The detection rate of MAFLD in people with normal BMI was 28.4%. The detection rate of MAFLD in women of childbearing age or in the perimenopausal period were both significantly lower than that in men of the same age (40.3% vs 54.9%, χ 2=20.78, P<0.001; 43.1% vs 58.4%, χ 2=27.43, P<0.001), but there was no statistically significant difference in MAFLD detection rate between postmenopausal women and men of the same age. The detection rates of MAFLD in the group with abnormal blood glucose and lipids were both significantly higher than those in the group with normal blood glucose and lipids [69.7%(196/281) vs 35.2%(2 354/6 680), χ 2=138.36, P<0.001; 54.3%(1 696/3 124) vs 37.1%(1 420/3 837), χ 2=207.99, P<0.001]. Conclusion:Non-hepatitis patients had a higher prevalence of MAFLD. The BMI, gender, age, blood glucose, and lipids levels are all strongly associated with MAFLD.

Objective to explore the risk assessment potential of oxLDL in patients with T2DM combined with PTB.Methods A prospective study was conducted,which included 60 cases of simple hyperlipidemia,100 cases of PTB,100 cases of T2DM,and 100 cases of T2DM combined with PTB.These patients visited the outpatient department of our center from June 2022 to June 2023.The PTB group,T2DM group,and T2DM combined with PTB group were further divided into subgroups based on normal blood lipids(40 cases)and hyperlipidemia(60 cases),totaling 360 cases in the case group.Additionally,a control group consisting of 60 healthy individuals was included.The age range for inclusion in the study was between 35 to70 years old.Venous blood samples were collected from each group to detect HbA1c,INS,FSG,CHOL,TG,HDL,LDL,ApoA I and Apo B.OxLDL levels were measured using the ELISA method.Differences in levels between groups were compared.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to assess the association between oxLDL levels and PTB as well as T2DM combined with PTB.Results There were no statistically significant differences in BMI,blood sugar,blood lipids,and insulin resis-tance between the T2DM hyperlipidemia subgroup and the T2DM combined with PTB hyperlipidemia subgroup.The oxLDL level in the T2DM hypertipidemia subgroup was more than double that of the control group,while the oxLDL level in the subgroup with normal blood lipids was significantly higher than that of the control group.Moreover,both the T2DM combined with PTB hyperlipidemia subgroup and simple hyperlipidemia group exhibited significantly elevated levels of oxLDL compared to the control group;however,there were no statistically significant differences when compared to the PTB hyperlipidemia subgroup.Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive linear corre-lation between TG and LDL with oxLDL in both the T2DM hyperlipidemia subgroup and the T2DM combined with PTB hyperlipidemia subgroup(R=0.352,P<0.05).Additionally,CHOL and LDL levels in the PTB hyperlipid-emia subgroup also showed a significant positive correlation with oxLDL(R=0.441,P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that having oxLDL levels more than double that of the control group was an independent risk factor for both PTB and T2DM combined with PTB(P<0.05).Conclusion The significantly elevated levels of oxLDL may serve as a potential risk factor for the comorbidity of T2DM and PTB.It is recommended to consider oxLDL levels exceeding twice those of the control group as a clinically meaningful pathological threshold for further assessment.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

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.
