Hyperkalemia is one of the common ion metabolism disorders in clinical practice. Hyperkalemia is defined as serum potassium higher than 5.0 mmol/L according to the guidelines at home and abroad. Acute severe hyperkalemia can cause serious consequences, such as flaccid paralysis, fatal arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest. The use of renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system inhibitors, β-blockers and diuretics, low-sodium and high-potassium diets, and the presence of related comorbidities increase the occurrence of hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia risk exist in all clinical departments, but there is a lack of a standardization in the management of multi- department cooperation in hospital. Therefore, a number of domestic nephrology and cardiology department experts have discussed a management model for multi-department cooperation in hyperkalemia, formulating the management standard on hospital evaluation, early warning, diagnosis and treatment, and process. This can promote each department to more effectively participate in nosocomial hyperkalemia diagnosis and treatment, as well as the long-term management of chronic hyperkalemia, improving the quality of hyperkalemia management in hospital.

Osteoscarcopenia (OS) is a common degenerative syndrome in the elderly, which is caused by a decrease in both bone and muscle mass during the aging process, leading to osteoporosis and sarcopenia, a decrease in body balance, and a risk of falls and fractures, posing a serious threat to the quality of life and lifespan of the elderly. Osteoskeletal dystrophy increases with age, and its occurrence is higher in females than that in males. At present, there is no unified diagnostic standard, making it impossible to achieve early detection and intervention. The commonly used diagnostic methods include quantitative computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), muscle mass bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), as well as daily gait speed (UGS), short physical performance battery (SPPB), timed start test (TUG), and biochemical evaluation indicators to improve early diagnosis and screening. Due to the fact that both bones and muscles belong to the motor system, osteoporosis and sarcopenia share common pathogenic factors in genetics, endocrine, paracrine, and fat infiltration, which interact and regulate each other, inducing the occurrence of osteoscarcopenia. Osteoporosis and sarcopenia, two age-related diseases, share the same pathogenesis and regulatory pathways, as well as common drug targets. For example: somatostatin α‑actin-3, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ coactivation factor-1α (PGC-1α), myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF2C), sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1), protoadhesion 7 (PCDH7) and methyltransferase like 21C (METTL21C), osteocalcin and bone derived bone factor gap junction connexin 43 (Cx43), growth hormone (GH), sex hormones, and diseases (such as tumors, diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, cardiovascular disease, anemia, disability, inflammatory disease), aging, nutrition, and poor living habits are closely related to osteosarcopenia. Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and microstructural degeneration of bone tissue, while sarcopenia is characterized by loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, both of which often coexist in the elderly population. Exercise regulates muscle and skeletal cytokines such as myostatin (MSTN) and irisinβ‑aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA), brain derived neutrophil factor (BDNF), interleukin, prostaglandin E2, Wnt, osteocalcin (OCN), and transforming growth factor‑β (TGF‑β) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) interfere with each other to prevent and treat osteoscarcopenia. Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway can simultaneously regulate the growth and metabolism of bones and muscles, and promote osteoblast proliferation, maturation, and mineralization by increasing OPG/RANKL, which is beneficial for bone mass increase and induces proliferation of muscle satellite cells, stimulating and promoting increased muscle synthesis. NF‑κB pathway is the main regulatory factor for inflammation mediated muscle atrophy. Meanwhile, NF‑κB DNA can participate in RANKL inducing osteoclast differentiation in bone tissue, thereby reducing bone mass. Although exercise and nutrition can improve the symptoms of osteoporosis, they cannot be completely cured, and there are no specific drugs in clinical practice that can cure sarcopenia. Because osteoscarcopenia has a common crosstalk mechanism in the aging process, it is of great significance to prevent osteoscarcopenia by improving bone mass and muscle content through exercise, nutrition, and medication.

Objective To analyze the risk factors and survival status of Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)infection in pa-tients with aplastic anemia(AA)after haploid allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(Haplo-HSCT).Methods Clinical data of 78 AA patients who underwent Haplo-HSCT in the hematology department of a hospital from January 1,2019 to October 31,2022 were analyzed retrospectively.The occurrence and onset time of EBV viremia,EBV-related diseases(EBV diseases),and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders(PTLD)were ob-served,risk factors and survival status were analyzed.Results Among the 78 patients,38 were males and 40 were females,with a median age of 33(9-56)years old;53 patients experienced EBV reactivation,with a total inci-dence of 67.9%,and the median time for EBV reactivation was 33(13,416)days after transplantation.Among pa-tients with EBV reactivation,49 cases(62.8%)were simple EBV viremia,2 cases(2.6%)were possible EBV di-seases,and 2 cases(2.6%)were already confirmed EBV diseases(PTLD).Univariate analysis showed that age 1<40 years old at the time of transplantation,umbilical cord blood infusion,occurrence of acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD)after transplantation,and concurrent cytomegalovirus(CMV)infection were independent risk fac-tors for EBV reactivation in AA patients after Haplo-HSCT.Multivariate analysis showed that concurrent CMV in-fection was an independent risk factor for EBV reactivation in A A patients after Haplo-HSCT(P=0.048).Ritu-ximab intervention before stem cell reinfusion was a factor affecting the duration of EBV reactivation(P<0.05).The mortality of EBV viremia,EBV diseases,and PTLD alone were 8.2%,50.0%,and 100%,respectively.The 2-year overall survival rate of patients with and without EBV reactivation were 85.3%,and 90.7%,respectively,difference was not statistically significant(P=0.897).However,patients treated with rituximab had 2-year lower survival rate than those who did not use it,with a statistically significant difference(P=0.046).Conclusion EBV reactivation is one of the serious complications in AA patients after Haplo-HSCT,which affects the prognosis and survival of patients.

Soluble programmed cell death 1 ligand 1(PD-L1)in the serum includes exosomal,mi-crovesical and secreted forms of PD-L1.Previous studies have shown that the level of exosomal PD-L1 in the serum significantly correlated with the prognosis of various cancers.However,current analysis detects all forms of PD-L1 in the serum as a whole,without distinguishing exosomal PD-L1 from other forms.In this study,a specific detection method for exosomal PD-L1 was established based on surface plasmon res-onance.This method first captures PD-L1 by antibody recognition and immobilizes it on the surface of the detection chip.Then,α-hemolysin was recruited to form multiple oligomers on the exosomal membrane.This method quantifies the content of exosomal PD-L1 by monitoring the signal change during the binding process of α-hemolysin,effectively reducing background noises and amplifying the signal.The linear range before signal amplification with α-hemolysin was 0.035-2.208 pg/mL,and after signal amplifica-tion,it was 0.004-0.552 pg/mL.Methodological validation showed that this method has good specifici-ty,sensitivity,and repeatability,and has certain clinical application prospects.

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.

Neurospine 2024;21(3):1014-1028
Objective:
Recent studies indicate that 3 morphological types of atlanto-occipital joint (AOJ) exist in the craniovertebral junction and are associated with type II basilar invagination (BI) and atlanto-occipital instability. However, the actual biomechanical effects remain unclear. This study aims to investigate biomechanical differences among AOJ types I, II, and III, and provide further evidence of atlanto-occipital instability in type II BI.
Methods:
Models of bilateral AOJ containing various AOJ types were created, including I-I, I-II, II-II, II-III, and III-III models, with increasing AOJ dysplasia across models. Then, 1.5 Nm torque simulated cervical motions. The range of motion (ROM), ligament and joint stress, and basion-dental interval (BDI) were analyzed.
Results:
The C0–1 ROM and accompanying rotational ROM increased progressively from model I-I to model III-III, with the ROM of model III-III showing increases between 27.3% and 123.8% indicating ultra-mobility and instability. In contrast, the C1–2 ROM changes were minimal. Meanwhile, the stress distribution pattern was disrupted; in particular, the C1 superior facet stress was concentrated centrally and decreased substantially across the models. The stress on the C0–1 capsule ligament decreased during cervical flexion and increased during bending and rotating loading. In addition, BDI gradually decreased across the models. Further analysis revealed that the dens showed an increase of 110.1% superiorly and 11.4% posteriorly, indicating an increased risk of spinal cord impingement.
Conclusion
Progressive AOJ incongruity critically disrupts supportive tissue loading, enabling incremental atlanto-occipital instability. AOJ dysplasia plays a key biomechanical role in the pathogenesis of type II BI.
