Objective To elucidate the mechanisms of trauma-induced coagulopathy(TIC),clarify the specific pathogenic factors and pathophysiological processes,and discover the effective diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets.Methods Transcriptomic data of traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs).Coagulation-related genes(CRGs)from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)were intersected with DEGs.Machine learning algorithms,including least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)and random forest(RF),were applied to identify key genes.The CIBERSORT algorithm was used to analyze the correlation between key genes and immune cell infiltration.Through consensus clustering,subtype analysis was conducted on trauma patients to compare the infiltration of immune cells.A rat model of traumatic hemorrhagic shock was established to validate coagulation function and the expression of key genes.Results The dataset included samples from 17 healthy controls and 478 patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock.A total of 6 315 DEGs were identified under the screening criterion of corrected P<0.05.Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)showed that the up-regulated DEGs were significantly enriched in the glucose metabolism pathway,while the down-regulated DEGs were enriched in the immune reaction-related pathways.Through cross-analysis of DEGs and CRGs,a total of 65 differentially expressed coagulation-related genes(DE-CRGs)were screened out.GO functional enrichment showed that these genes were mainly located in secreting granular membranes and platelet α-granules,and were involved in physiological processes such as blood coagulation,regulation of body fluid levels,and wound healing.KEGG pathway analysis revealed that these genes were significantly enriched in pathways such as platelet activation,complement and coagulation cascade reactions,Rap1 signaling pathway,and human cytomegalovirus infection.Six key DE-CRGs were identified through machine learning.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis indicated that these genes had good diagnostic efficacy.CIBERSORT analysis revealed a significant correlation between key genes and immune cell infiltration.Patients were classified into two subtypes based on the six key genes:subtype A was rich in CD8+T cells and activated NK cells,presented an immune-active state;subtype B was mainly composed of monocytes and resting NK cells,with insufficient activation of immune pathways.Animal experiments on rats showed that hemorrhagic shock can lead to coagulation dysfunction.The results of qRT-PCR further confirmed that the expression trend of key genes was consistent with the results of bioinformatics analysis.Conclusion In this study,through transcriptomics and machine learning methods,six key genes closely related to TIC were systematically screened out,namely GNA13,PIK3R3,ITGAM,MAPK14,PPP1CC and LYN,and their close connections with coagulation function and immune infiltration were revealed.Animal experiments have further verified the value of these genes as potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Objective To elucidate the regulatory effects of titanium surface modification on the immune function of immature dendritic cells(imDCs),different crystalline nanomorphologies were constructed on titanium surface to investigate the mechanobiological response of imDCs to nanomorphologies with different crystalline phases.Methods Nanomorphologies with different crystalline phases were constructed on the titanium surface by anodic oxidation and calcination.The changes of the cytoskeleton F-actin,cell adhesion and morphology of imDCs cultured on nanomorphologies with different crystalline phases were observed by fluorescence staining.The relative gene expression of adhesion molecules was detected by quantitative real-time PCR.The migration behaviors of imDCs were observed using real-time live-cell imaging,and the membrane fluidity was detected by fluorescence polarization.Results Nanomorphologies with different crystalline phases,namely amorphous phase,anatase and rutile,were obtained on the titanium surface by anodic oxidation and calcination.The cytoskeleton of imDCs on nanomorphologies with different crystalline phases was remodeled.The spreading area of cells on anatase crystalline phase was relatively small,which was(353.3±148.5)μm2.The number of adherent cells was the largest,which was 587±132.The expression of adhesion molecules such as CD11a,integrin β2,ICAM1,and VCAM1 were also increased in cells which cultured on anatase crystalline phase.The imDCs cultured on anatase crystalline phase were equipped with strong migration ability.The accumulative migration distance was(383.6±177.7)μm,and the Euclidean migration distance was(51.82±50.13)μm.The membrane fluidity was relatively weak,and the fluorescence polarization was 0.348 5±0.041 8.Conclusions imDCs can respond to nanomorphologies with different crystalline phases on the titanium surface and exhibit different biomechanical behaviors.The results might provide a theoretical basis for the design of titanium biomaterials with immunomodulatory functions.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Recent studies have shown that the physiological homeostasis of oral mucosal cells is regulated by the circadian clock.Dis-ruption or dysfunction of the circadian clock is closely associated with the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC).Research based on the circadian clock offers a novel perspective on the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies for OSCC.However,there is current-ly limited research on this topic,and people generally have insufficient understanding and recognition of the circadian clock.Given the complexity and challenges of circadian clock which is the fourth dimension of medical research,we organize relevant experts based on summarizing the current research results of circadian clock in the pathogenesis and precision diagnosis and treatment of OSCC,combining the scientific principles of the circadian clock's role and their long-term research experience,then summarizes and recommends the con-sensus opinions for the research of circadian clock in the pathogenesis mechanism and precision diagnosis and treatment of human OSCC,with the hope of providing guidance for the basic research and clinical application of circadian clock or circadian rhythm in the pathogene-sis mechanism and precision diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial squamous cell carcinoma.
