Traumatic massive abdominopelvic hemorrhage presents significant clinical challenges due to its complex anatomy, deep-seated and predominantly non-compressible bleeding sites, difficulties in early recognition, and rapid disease progression. Patients are often complicated with shock and coagulopathy, making timely intervention extremely critical. Despite continuous advances in treatment techniques for trauma, clinical practice still faces significant challenges, including insensitive early warning systems, limited assessment means, suboptimal selection and timing of hemostatic interventions, insufficient multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaboration, and imperfect hemostasis strategy based on anatomical stratification. Focusing on the treatment chain of "early warning-assessment-hemostasis-support", the authors reviewed key challenges in managing massive abdominopelvic hemorrhage including the establishment of early warning criteria, standardization and intelligentization of focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST), standardized application of (REBOA), optimization of MDT collaborative mechanisms, and integration of anatomy-based hemostatic strategies, and proposed optimization pathways, aiming to improve the success rate in managing traumatic massive abdominopelvic hemorrhage.

Objective:To investigate the effects of chronic stress during pregnancy on depressive behavior and DNA methylation of insulin-like growth factor-2 ( IGF-2 )/long non-coding RNA ( lncRNA ) H19 in hippocampus of female offspring rats.Methods:A total of 32 SPF female SD rats were divided into model group and control group according to the random number table. The rats in the model group were treated with chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) to establish the depression model, and the rats in the control group were fed normally.On the 7th day of stress stimulation, all female rats mated with male rats. One day before stress stimulation and 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 days after stress stimulation, blood samples were collected from the inner canthus vein of the rats to determine the plasma corticosterone concentration. Eight female pups were randomly selected from each group on postnatal day 28(PND28) and postnatal day 42 (PND42). Plasma corticosterone concentration was measured after angular vein blood collection. At PND42, the depression-like behavior of female pups in the two groups was measured by sucrose preference test, tail suspension test and forced swimming test. The expression of IGF-2/H19 and related transferases in hippocampus of offspring rats was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Methyl target technology was used to capture and sequence 19 CpG sites of IGF-2 differentially methylated region(DMR) fragment 2, 8 CpG sites in H19 imprinting control region (ICR) fragment 1 and 15 CpG sites in H19-ICR fragment 2, and calculate the methylation level of each CpG site. SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis of relevant data by repeated measurement ANOVA, t test and non-parametric test. Results:(1) The data of plasma corticosterone content of the two groups of female rats at different times were analyzed by repeated measurement variance.The results showed that the the interaction effect between time and group was not significant ( F=2.997, P=0.066), and the main effect of time was significant ( F=4.44, P=0.010). The main effect of group was significant ( F=41.40, P=0.001). According to the independent effect analysis of factors between groups, on the 14th, 21st, and 28th days of stress, the plasma corticosterone concentration of the model group was higher than that of the control group (all P<0.001). (2) In the sucrose preference test, the total liquid consumption (11.10(10.38, 11.58) mL, 13.55(12.00, 15.77) mL, Z=-3.055, P=0.002), 1% sucrose water consumption ((5.50±1.30) mL, (8.56±2.04) mL, t=-3.582, P=0.003) and 1% sucrose preference percentage ( (51.35±8.69) %, (62.11±8.05) %, t=-2.576, P=0.022) of female pups in the model group were significantly lower than those in the control group. (3) The duration of immobility in tail suspension test ((126.95±39.89) s, (54.30±25.00) s, t=4.375, P=0.001) and forced swimming test ((7.97±6.66) s, (1.85±2.12) s, t=2.478, P=0.037) of female offspring in the model group were longer than those in the control group. (4) The expression of IGF-2 mRNA ((0.46±0.24), (1.00±0.00), t=3.821, P=0.019) and H19 mRNA ((0.60±0.25), (1.00±0.00), t=3.574, P=0.007) in hippocampus of female pups in the model group were lower than those of control group. The relative expression of IGF-2 protein in female offspring of model group was lower than that in control group ((0.77±0.04), (1.00±0.00), t=9.876, P=0.01). The relative expression of CCTC-binding factor (CTCF) mRNA ((1.29±0.12), (1.00±0.00), t=-4.850, P=0.003) and protein ((1.90±0.28), (1.00±0.00), t=-5.513, P=0.005) were higher than those in the control group. (5) The methylation levels of three CpG sites in the IGF-2 DMR region of female offspring in the model group were lower than those in the control group ( t=-3.21, -3.00, -3.34, all P<0.05), located at chr1215831028, chr1215831055 and chr1215831205, respectively. The methylation level of IGF-2 DMR fragment was lower than that of the control group ( t=-3.453, P=0.048). The relative expression levels of DNMT3A mRNA ( t=5.102, P=0.002), DNMT3A ( t=10.213, P<0.001) and DNMT3B ( t=4.169, P=0.014) in female offspring of the model group were lower than those in the control group. Conclusion:Chronic stress during pregnancy causes depression and despair in female offspring mice, and the mechanism may be related to the decrease of methylation level of imprinted gene IGF-2 DMR caused by the decrease of methyltransferase expression.

Objective:To investigate the association of metabolic syndrome(MS) with cardiovascular disease(CVD) mortality and all-cause mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent peritoneal dialysis from January 1, 2013 to July 31, 2021 in the Shaoxing People′s Hospital. Patients were divided into MS group and non-MS group. The differences in baseline biochemical variables, comorbidities, and clinical outcomes between the two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used to obtain survival curves, the Cox regression model was used to evaluate the influence of MS for survival rates, and the inverse probability of treatment weighting(IPTW) was used to eliminate influence of the confounders in the groups.Results:A total of 494 peritoneal dialysis patients were enrolled in this study, which were divided into MS group( n=266) and non-MS group( n=228). The total median follow-up time was(31±22) months. At baseline, the standard mean difference( SMD) in smoking history, drinking history, CVD history, prevalence of chronic glomerulonephritis, left ventricular ejection fraction, B-type natriuretic peptides, hemoglobin, blood calcium, hypersensitive C-reactive-protein, intact parathyroid hormone, ultrafiltration and 4 h dialysate/plasma creatinine in the two groups were greater than 0.1. Their SMD decreased to under 0.1 after IPTW, showing a good balance between the two groups. The analysis of the survival curve of Kaplan Meier showed that the cumulative survival rate and cumulative CVD survival rate in MS group were significantly lower than those in non-MS group before and after IPTW( P<0.05). After IPTW was used to eliminate the effect of confounders, multivariate Cox regression analysis still displayed that MS was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality( HR=1.824, 95% CI 1.121-2.968, P=0.015) and CVD mortality( HR=2.470, 95% CI 1.324-4.609, P=0.004)in peritoneal dialysis patients. Conclusion:The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is high in peritoneal dialysis patients. MS is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and CVD mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Background The pathogenesis of beryllium-induced pulmonary fibrosis is unknown and there is no specific treatment for the disease as yet. MicroRNA (miRNA) may play a role in the process of beryllium-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Objective To construct a microRNA-21 (miR-21) interfering cell line, and to investigate the effect of miR-21 on beryllium sulfate (BeSO₄)-induced fibrosis in human lung adenocarcinoma alveolar basal epithelial cells (A549 cells) and its potential mechanism. Methods The miR-21 target genes were predicted by the online database miRBase and verified by experiments using dual luciferase reporter gene. After transfecting A549 with miR-21interference lentivirus, puromycin was used to select a stable cell line. An in vitro model of pulmonary fibrosis was established using BeSO₄ infecting A549 cells with a concentration of 10 μmol·L⁻¹ and an exposure time of 48 h. Then the treated cells were divided into control group, model group, miR-21 interference group, and miR-21 interference control group. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the relative expression level of miR-21 gene. Western blotting was used to detect the relative expression levels of TGF-β1/Smads pathway related proteins [Smad2, Smad3, p-Smad2, p-Smad3, Smad7, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)], myofibrosis cell marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), andextracellular matrix collagen-I (COL-I) and collagen-Ⅲ (COL-Ⅲ). Results The miRBase predicted that miR-21 had a binding site with Smad7, and the results of the dual luciferase reporter gene experiment showed that the target gene of miR-21 was Smad7. The construction of miR-21 interfered with A549 cell line was successful. Compared with the control group, the relative expression of miR-21 gene in the model group increased by 97.57%; the relative expression of Smad7 protein in the model group decreased by 15.48%; the relative protein expression of Smad2, Smad3, p-Smad2, p-Smad3, TGF-β1, α-SMA, COL-I, and COL-Ⅲ increased by 13.55%, 35.72%, 18.35%, 35.75%, 25.52%, 31.58%, 24.61%, and 11.66% respectively (P<0.05). Compared with the interference control group, the miR-21 gene expression level in the interference group decreased by 28.96%; the relative expression of Smad7 protein increased by 19.07%; the relative protein expression of Smad2, Smad3, p-Smad2, p-Smad3, TGF-β1, α-SMA, COL-I, and COL-Ⅲ decreased by 8.01%, 19.95%, 14.56%, 19.37%, 11.95%, 10.96%, 18.81%, and 31.36% repectively (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the gene abd protein expression levels of each gene between the model group and the interference control group (P>0.05). Conclusion In an in vitro model of pulmonary fibrosis induced by beryllium compounds, miR-21 may promote fibrosis by targeting Smad7 to regulate the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effect of chronic stress of pregnant rats on the gut microbiota of female rats and offspring, and explore the role of intestinal microbiota in chronic stress during pregnancy.Methods:In November 2019, SPF-grade healthy adult SD rats were selected. 16 female rats were randomly divided into control group and model group, with 8 in each group; 12 male rats were randomly divided into model mating group (8) and control mating group (4) . A model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) during pregnancy was established. Blood samples were collected from the iliac vein of the female rats 1 day before and 1, 7, and 14 days after the CUMS protocol, and measured for plasma corticosterone content by radioimmunoassay. After the stress was completed, fresh feces of the female rats were collected for testing. The offspring's fresh stool samples were collected on postnatal day 20 (PND20) , and they were divided into control offspring group and model offspring group samples. The sequence of 16S rRNAV3-V4 regions of microorganisms in the feces of offspring was determined by Illumina MiSeq technique; and the interaction between microbial community structure and diversity were analyzed.Results:The content of plasma corticosterone in the model group was higher than that in the control group on the 7th and 14th day of stress ( P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the Sobs index, Chao index, ACE index and Shannon index of the model group were decreased ( P<0.05) . The number of unique species abundance (OTU) in the control group was 130, and 91 in the model group. The relative abundance of female Firmicutes in the control group (64.87%) was higher than that in the model group, and the relative abundance of Bacteroides (31.72%) was lower than that of the model group (46.35%) . The Sobs index, Chao index, ACE index, Simpson index and Shannon index of the control offspring group were higher than those of the model offspring group ( P<0.05) . The number of unique OTUs in the model offspring group was 75, and 93 in the control offspring group. The relative abundance of Firmicutes (60.24%) in the control offspring group was higher than that of the model offspring group (52.95%) . Conclusion:Chronic stress during pregnancy can not only lead to the disorder of intestinal flora in female rats, but also lead to the change of intrauterine environment, thus affecting the diversity of intestinal flora in offspring.

Background Studies have shown that stress during pregnancy can affect the growth and development of fetuses and offspring, and this effect has sex differences, but the results are controversial, and there are few studies on the emotional damage of offspring of different sexes caused by stress during pregnancy. Objective This experiment is designed to observe the effect of chronic stress during pregnancy on emotional damage of offspring of different sexes. Methods Thirty-two SD female rats were randomly divided into a model group and a control group (16 rats in each group), 24 male rats were divided into a model mating group (n=16) and a control mating group (n=8). Each rat of the model group was reared in a single cage and received chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) for 28 d, including hot water swimming for 5 min, cold water swimming for 5 min, tail pinching for 2 min, crowding for 24 h, moist bedding for 24 h, cage shaking for 30 min, and space restriction for 2 h. One stressor was administered daily and the same stressor did not repeat within 7 d. Blood was collected from the endocanthal vein of the two groups of female rats 1 d before and 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 d after stress, the plasma was separated by centrifugation, and ¹³¹I radioimmunoassay was used to measure plasma corticosterone concentration. On postnatal day 21 (PND21), 16 offspring rats (half male and half male) were randomly selected from each group, their plasma corticosterone concentration was measured on PND28 and PND42, and their emotional damage was measured on PND42. Results The plasma corticosterone levels of dams in the model group on the 14th, 21th, and 28th days of stress [(394.02±97.40), (444.12±90.43), and (463.71±107.75) μg·L⁻¹] were higher than those in the control group [(285.63±81.64), (341.78±48.39), and (320.42±84.76) μg·L⁻¹] (all P< 0.05). On PND28 and PND42, the plasma corticosterone levels in the female model offspring group [(543.30±90.21) and (530.76±83.10) μg·L⁻¹] were higher than those in the female control offspring group [(397.77±64.27) and (325.78±61.03) μg·L⁻¹] (both P<0.05). In the sugar water preference test, the total fluid consumption [(10.74±1.28) mL], sugar water consumption [(5.50±1.30) mL], and 1% sucrose preference percentage [(20.36±3.41) %] in the female model offspring group were lower than those in the female control offspring group [(13.74±2.06) mL, (8.56±2.04) mL, and (62.11±8.05) %] (all P<0.05). In the open field test, the horizontal score, vertical score, and cleaning times of the male model offspring group were lower than those of the male control offspring group (all P<0.05). In the tail suspension test, the immobility time of the female and male model offspring groups [(126.95±39.88) and (70.24±28.98) s] was longer than the control offspring groups of the same sex [(54.30±24.99) and (38.63±18.91) s] (both P<0.05), and the duration of immobility time in the female model offspring group was longer (t=3.253, P=0.006). In the forced swimming test, the immobility time of the female model offspring group [(7.97±6.66) s] was longer than that of the female control offspring group [(1.85±2.12) s] (t=2.478, P=0.037). On PND42, the plasma corticosterone level of female offspring was negatively correlated with total fluid consumption, sugar water consumption, and 1% sucrose preference percentage (r=−0.621, r=−0.728, r=−0.699; P<0.05), and positively correlated with immobility time in the tail suspension test and immobility time in the forced swimming test (r=0.571, r=0.712; P<0.05), However, there was no correlation between plasma corticosterone and emotional indicators on PND42 in male offspring (P>0.05). Conclusion Chronic stress during pregnancy causes emotional damage to the offspring, and female offspring show depression-like behaviors.
