ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Wenshen Yangxue decoction combined with endometrial microstimulation in the treatment of infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS， syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis）. MethodsA randomized， positive-drug parallel-controlled， open-label clinical study was conducted. A total of 240 infertile PCOS patients with the syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned into 4 groups， with 60 patients in each group. The control group was treated with clomiphene citrate （50-100 mg·d^-¹， orally for 5-10 consecutive days） for ovulation induction. On the basis of the therapy in the control group， the Wenshen group was additionally treated with Wenshen Yangxue decoction （250 mL， warm oral administration， twice daily， in the morning and evening）， and the stimulation group received endometrial microstimulation during the early follicular phase. The combined group was treated with clomiphene citrate plus Wenshen Yangxue decoction （at the same dosages as aforementioned） and endometrial microstimulation. The course of treatment for all the groups was 3 menstrual cycles. The pregnancy rate， ovulation status， sex hormone levels， glucose metabolism indicators， coagulation function， endometrial thickness， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom scores， and adverse reactions were observed in each group. ResultsA total of 239 patients were included in the final analysis， with 59 patients in the Wenshen group and 60 patients in each of the other three groups. The pregnancy rates were 43.3%（26/60） in the combined group and 32.2%（19/60） in the Wenshen group， both significantly higher than that （10%） in the control group （χ²=17.56，P<0.01）. Compared with the control group， the combined and Wenshen groups had increased mature follicle rates （P<0.01）， while the Wenshen group showed a decreased luteinization rate （P<0.05）. All the groups exhibited significant reductions in TCM symptom scores after treatment， and the Wenshen and combined groups had lower scores than the control group （P<0.01）. No statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of adverse events among the four groups， and all the adverse events were mild. ConclusionWenshen Yangxue decoction combined with endometrial microstimulation can alleviate the TCM symptoms of infertile PCOS patients with the syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis， promote follicular maturation and ovulation， increase the cumulative pregnancy rate， and has good safety. It can provide new clinical evidence for the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of PCOS infertility.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of ozone combined with low-temperature plasma coagulation therapy on patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and its influence on inflammatory responses.Methods Ozone in combination with low-temperature plasma radio-frequency coagulation was applied to 75 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy in Pain Medicine Department of Capital Medical University Affiliated Beijing Anzhen Hospital from May 2022 to May 2023.Pain scores were assessed using Visual Analog Scale(VAS)and Neck Disability Index(NDI)before and two weeks after treatment.Enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay(ELISA)was used to analyze the level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6)and interferon-gamma(IFN-γ)before and two weeks after treatment.Results After treatment with ozone plus low-temperature plasma radiofrequency,VAS and NDI scores showed a significant decrease[VAS:5.36(4,7)vs.1.32(1,2),P＜0.000 1;NDI:32.72(24,70)vs.7.62(3.55,8.9),P＜0.000 1].Two weeks after surgical intervention,there was an effective reduction in the level of IL-6,TNF-αand IFN-γ alleviating the inflammatory re-sponse[IL-6:4.33(2.51,5.04)vs.3.49(2.08,4.43),P＜0.05;TNF-α:1.95(1.41,2.21)vs.1.61(1.02,2.03),P＜0.05;IFN-γ:1.84(1.18,2.47)vs.1.55(0.76,2.09),P＜0.05].Conclusions This Ozone combined with low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation is an effective technology for treatment of cer-vical spondylotic radiculopathy.

Objective:To investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on delayed extubation of patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).Methods:A total of 400 ATAAD patients who were admitted to our hospital from October 2021 to October 2023 and underwent surgical treatment were selected as the research objects. According to BMI, they were divided into obese group (BMI≥28 kg/m 2, 119 cases) and non-obese group (BMI<28 kg/m 2, 281 cases). The differences of preoperative clinical characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative data between the two groups were compared. Starting from transferring to the ICU and ending with the first successful extubation, The risk factors of postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation time ≥ 48 h in ATAAD patients were analyzed, and the predictive efficacy of related factors for postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation time ≥ 48 h in ATAAD patients was evaluated. Results:Compared with the non-obese group, the proportion of hypertension, diabetes, admission heart rate, admission systolic blood pressure, admission diastolic blood pressure and preoperative white blood cell count in the obese group were significantly increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamp time, operation time, red blood cell transfusion volume, invasive mechanical ventilation time, secondary operation rate and total hospitalization cost in the obese group were significantly higher than those in the non-obese group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, cardiopulmonary bypass time, ascending aortic cross-clamp time, operation time, age, hypertension, and red blood cell transfusion were related factors for postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation time ≥48 h in ATAAD patients ( P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that increased BMI ( OR=1.213, P<0.05) and increased age ( OR=1.020, P<0.05) were independent risk predictors of postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation time≥48 h in ATAAD patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve ( ROC) analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve ( AUC) of BMI for predicting the duration of postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation in ATAAD patients≥48 h was 0.682 ( P<0.05), and the best predictive cut-off value was 25.64 kg/m 2. Conclusion:BMI≥28kg/m 2 increases the difficulty of surgery and the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in ATAAD patients. BMI has a high predictive value for the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in ATAAD patients after surgery ≥48 h, and effective intervention measures can be formulated to improve the treatment effect of patients.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between positive asthma prediction index (API) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin (IL-13), IL-4, β 2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2), and type I Fc ε receptor β (FcER1B) genes in asthmatic children.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 102 asthmatic children under 5 years old admitted to Zhongshan Boai Hospital and Foshan First People′s Hospital (51 cases were API positive and 51 cases were API negative) from January 2020 to August 2023. Oral and buccal mucosal exfoliated cells were collected from the children, and genomic DNA was extracted using magnetic bead method. Four gene loci (IL-13 rs20541, IL-4 rs2243250, ADRB2 rs1042713, FcER1B rs569108) were genotyped using a matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between SNP typing at these four gene loci and API positivity in asthmatic children.Results:There was a statistically significant difference in the SNP typing and allele distribution frequency of IL-13 rs20541, IL-4 rs2243250, ADRB2 rs1042713, FcER1B rs569108 between the API positive and API negative groups of wheezing children (all P<0.05). Among API positive children, the proportion of IL-13 rs20541 site was higher in GG type, the proportion of IL-4 rs2243250 site was higher in TT type, the proportion of ADRB2 rs1042713 site was higher in AG type, and the proportion of FcER1B rs569108 site was higher in AA type; The results of logistic regression analysis showed that IL-13 rs20541 GG type, IL-4 rs2243250 TT type, FcER1B rs569108 AA type were associated with the risk of API positivity in asthmatic children (all P<0.05). Conclusions:IL-13, IL-4, and FcER1B genes are risk genes for the development of API positive wheezing in children under 5 years old. SNP typing of these genes can be used to evaluate the risk of API positivity in clinical practice.

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.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

The acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults have a higher rate of neurological injury and early death compared with atlas or axial fractures alone. Currently, the diagnosis and treatment choices of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults are controversial because of the lack of standards for implementation. Non-operative treatments have a high incidence of bone nonunion and complications, while surgeries may easily lead to the injury of the vertebral artery, spinal cord and nerve root. At present, there are no evidence-based Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults. To provide orthopedic surgeons with the most up-to-date and effective information in treating acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field of spinal trauma to develop the Evidence-based guideline for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults ( version 2023) by referring to the "Management of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults" published by American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) in 2013 and the relevant Chinese and English literatures. Ten recommendations were made concerning the radiological diagnosis, stability judgment, treatment rules, treatment options and complications based on medical evidence, aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults.
