Despite significant advances in the field of critical care medicine over the past three decades, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) remains the primary temporary mechanical circulatory support modality for patients with acute severe circulatory failure. With the accumulation of clinical experience and the increasing maturity of operational techniques in V-A ECMO, its technical management—particularly hemodynamic management—has become a key factor influencing patient outcomes. To further improve patient survival, the Chinese Critical Care Ultrasound Study Group, in collaboration with the Hemodynamic Therapy of Critical Care Collaborative Group and the Critical Care Medicine Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, organized experts in critical care medicine to develop the Consensus on Hemodynamic Management in Adult Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (2026 Edition). Based on years of clinical experience and the latest evidence-based medical evidence, this consensus formulates 15 systematic recommendations covering the entire process of V-A ECMO, including initiation, management during support, and weaning, aiming to promote standardized application of hemodynamic management in V-A ECMO.

Objective By observing the regulatory effect of Strengthening Spleen and Eliminating Cancer Formula on N6-methyladenosine(m6A)methyltransferase,To explore the effect of Strengthening Spleen and Eliminating Cancer Formula on inhibiting the IRX5 m6A level in colorectal cancer(CRC),the regulatory effect on N6-methyladenosine(m6A)methyltransferase was observed.Methods Clinically,m6A hypermethylated genes in colorectal cancer was analyzed by m6A sequencing of pathological tissues from five CRC patients after radical surgery,looking for protein detection indexes for validation.23 BALB/c nude mice were selected and injected with HCT116 cells to establish a nude-mouse transplantation model of human colorectal cancer.They were divided into Model group,Western medicine group(5-fluorouracil group),Chinese medicine group(Jianpi Xiaoai Formula low-dose group,Jianpi Xiaoai Formula high-dose group),with 6 rats in each group,5 rats in control group.The tumor volume of all groups was compared.The overall methylation level of m6A was detected by colorimetric method.The protein expression levels of METTL3,METTL14,and WTAP,in tumor were detected by Western blot.The SRAMP website was used to predict the m6A sites of IRX5.HCT116 cells were treated with oe-NC,oe-METTL3,sh-NC,and sh-METTL3.The expression of IRX5 protein was detected by Western blot.HCT116 cell line was treated with Jianpi Xiaoai Formula drug-containing serum,and transfected with oe-METTL3 and oe-IRX5.The group was set as followed:control group,Jianpi Xiaoai Formula drug-containing serum group,Jianpi Xiaoai Formula drug-containing serum group+oe-NC,Jianpi Xiaoai Formula drug-containing serum group+oe-METTL3,Jianpi Xiaoai Formula drug-containing serum group+oe-IRX5,cell cloning experiment and Transwell experiment were performed to detect cell proliferation,migration and invasion ability of each group.The protein expression levels of METTL3 and IRX5 were detected by Western blot.Results The results of m6A sequencing of genes showed that the m6A methylation level increased in patients with CRC,and the m6A methylation levels of SOX1 and IRX5 were significantly elevated.Compared with the model group,the tumor volume of Jianpi Xiaoyou Formula high-dose group,low-dose group and 5-Fu group decreased significantly(P<0.01),and the tumor inhibition effect was more obvious with the increase of Jianpi Xiaoai Formula concentration(P<0.01).The methylation level of m6A in Jianpi Xiaoai Formula high dose group,low dose group and 5-Fu group decreased significantly(P<0.01).The SRAMP website predicted that IRX5 contained multiple m6A sites.Overexpression of METTL3 promoted the expression of IRX5 protein(P<0.001),while knockdown of METTL3 inhibited the expression of IRX5 protein(P<0.001).The drug-containing serum of Jianpi Xiaoai Formula could inhibit the protein expression of METTL3 and IRX5(P<0.05)and inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of HCT116(P<0.01).Overexpression of METTL3 and IRX5 reversed the inhibitory effect of Jianpi Xiaoai Formula on HCT116 evil phenotype(P<0.01).Conclusion Jianpi Xiaoai Formula may inhibit METTL3 expression mediated IRX5 low expression to inhibit the progression of colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression levels and combined detection efficiency of serum mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean platelet volume (MPV), and tumor gene ( WT-1) in elderly patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). METHODS: One hundred elderly MDS patients admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were selected as observation group, and eighty healthy subjects during the same period were selected as control group. The levels of MCV, MPV and WT-1 were detected, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the value of combined detection of the three indicators in the prediction of MDS. The expression and correlation of MCV, MPV and WT-1 in elderly patients with MDS were analyzed and evaluated. RESULTS: The levels of MCV, MPV, and WT-1 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (all P <0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that MCV was positively correlated with MPV and WT-1 (r =0.724, 0.733), while MPV was positively correlated with WT-1 (r =0.731). MCV, MPV, and WT-1 were independent influencing factors for elderly MDS (all P <0.05). The combined detection of the three indicators had the largest area under the curve (AUC) (0.873, 95%CI : 0.776-0.893) in the diagnosis of elderly MDS, with a sensitivity of 95.00%, a specificity of 90.00%, and Youden index of 0.850. The diagnostic value was significantly higher than that of a single indicator (both P <0.05). The levels of MCV, MPV, and WT-1 in severe patients were significantly higher than those in mild patients (all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that high expression of MCV, MPV, and WT-1 were influencing factors of severe elderly MDS. The ROC curve analysis showed that the combined diagnosis of MCV, MPV and WT-1 had the largest AUC for predicting severe MDS in elderly patients (0.897, 95%CI : 0.709-0.926), and the sensitivity and specificity were 93.18% and 91.07%, respectively (P <0.05). CONCLUSION MCV, MPC, and WT-1 are highly expressed in elderly patients with severe MDS. These three indicators can reflect the bone marrow hematopoietic function status of the subjects. However, compared with single indicator detection, the combined detection of the three indicators is more effective in diagnosis. It has certain advantages in elderly MDS and disease staging, and its promotion and application value is higher.

Objectives: To investigate the role of donor change in the second hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT2) for hematological relapse of malignant hematology after the first transplantation (HSCT1) . Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with relapsed hematological malignancies who received HSCT2 at our single center between Mar 1998 and Dec 2020. A total of 70 patients were enrolled[49 males and 21 females; median age, 31.5 (3-61) yr]. Results: Forty-nine male and 21 female patients were enrolled in the trial. At the time of HSCT2, the median age was 31.5 (3-61) years old. Thirty-one patients were diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, 23 patients with ALL, and 16 patients with MDS or other malignant hematology disease. Thirty patients had HSCT2 with donor change, and 40 patients underwent HSCT2 without donor change. The median relapse time after HSCT1 was 245.5 (26-2 905) days. After HSCT2, 70 patients had neutrophil engraftment, and 62 (88.6%) had platelet engraftment. The cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment was (93.1±4.7) % in patients with donor change and (86.0±5.7) % in patients without donor change (P=0.636). The cumulative incidence of CMV infection in patients with and without donor change was (64.0±10.3) % and (37.0±7.8) % (P=0.053), respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute graft versus host disease was (19.4±7.9) % vs (31.3±7.5) %, respectively (P=0.227). The cumulative incidence of TRM 100-day post HSCT2 was (9.2±5.1) % vs (6.7±4.6) % (P=0.648), and the cumulative incidence of chronic graft versus host disease at 1-yr post-HSCT2 was (36.7±11.4) % versus (65.6±9.1) % (P=0.031). With a median follow-up of 767 (271-4 936) days, 38 patients had complete remission (CR), and three patients had persistent disease. The CR rate was 92.7%. The cumulative incidences of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) 2 yr after HSCT2 were 25.8% and 23.7%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of relapse, OS, and DFS was (52.6±11.6) % vs (62.4±11.3) % (P=0.423), (28.3±8.6) % vs (23.8±7.5) % (P=0.643), and (28.3±8.6) % vs (22.3±7.7) % (P=0.787), respectively, in patients with changed donor compared with patients with the original donor. Relapses within 6 months post-HSCT1 and with persistent disease before HSCT2 were risk factors for OS, DFS, and CIR. Disease status before HSCT2 and early relapse (within 6 months post-HSCT1) was an independent risk factor for OS, DFS, and CIR post-HSCT2. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that changing donors did not affect the clinical outcome of HSCT2.

Objective: To investigate the association between physical exercise and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in people infected with HBV. Methods: The information about the 3 813 participants infected with HBV, including the prevalence of NAFLD, prevalence of physical exercise and other covariates, were collected from the National Science and Technology Major Project of China during 2016-2020. The logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between physical exercise and NAFLD in HBV infected patients, and subgroup analysis was performed to identify the effect modifiers. Results: A total of 2 259 HBV infected participants were included in the final analysis and 454 (20.10%) had NAFLD. After adjusting for covariates, we found that moderate physical exercise was a protective factor for NAFLD (OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.46-0.94). Subgroup analysis suggested that the protective effect of moderate physical exercise on NAFLD might be stronger in women (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.36-1.01), those <45 years old (OR=0.24, 95%CI: 0.06-0.80), those who had low education level (OR=0.16, 95%CI: 0.04-0.49), those who had low annual income (OR=0.39, 95%CI: 0.16-0.89 for <30 000 yuan RMB; OR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.40-1.00 for 30 000-80 000 yuan RMB), those who had hypertension (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.21-0.88), those with BMI ≥24.0 kg/m² (OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.43-1.01), those who had more daily fruit or vegetable intake (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.38-0.97), those who had more daily meat intake (OR=0.49, 95%CI: 0.23-0.97), and those who had no smoking history (OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.45-0.95) or passive smoking exposure (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.37-0.97). Conclusions: Among HBV infected patients, moderate physical exercise was negatively associated with the prevalence of NAFLD. Women, young people, those who had low education level, those who had low annual income, those with hypertension, those with high BMI, those who had more daily fruit or vegetable and meat intakes, and those who had no smoking history or passive smoking exposure might be more sensitive to the protective effect.
