The etiology of tumors is complex and influenced by multiple factors, including the host and environmental conditions. Allergy is primarily driven by the immune response of helper T cell 2 (Th2). Research has shown that the Th2 immune response is closely related to tumors, which is specifically manifested through Th2 antibodies, allergy-related effector cells and mediators within the tumors, as well as tumor immune-related functions. This internal interaction mechanism will increase the complexity and challenges associated with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of tumors and allergy. The formation of allergic constitution is shaped by both congenital and acquired factors, and its physical state is closely linked to the occurrence and progression of allergic diseases. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the relationship between tumors and allergic reactions from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution theory. Based on the four basic principles of the TCM constitution, including endowment inheritance theory, environment constraint theory, body-spirit composition theory, and life process theory, this exploration will focus on four aspects: genetic factors and internal disease causes, inflammatory environments and functional regulation, psychological disorders and emotional pathogenesis, as well as age structure and disease risk. Furthermore, from the perspective of constitution-disease relation of chronic disease prevention, this paper will discuss the significant importance of adjusting allergic constitution to improve both subjective symptoms and objective indicators of allergic reactions in tumor patients.

Phosphatidylinositol 4 kinases are the initial and key molecules of the phosphatidyl inositol signaling pathway.Among them,the phosphatidylinositol 4-kinaseⅢ β(PI4KⅢβ)is in-volved in the synthesis of the Golgi PI4P pool,playing a vital role in numerous physiological processes.Meanwhile,the en-zyme is an important host factor mediating the replication of some pathogenic RNA viruses,and participating in other patho-logical processes such as bacterial infection and malaria.In ad-dition,studies have shown that the function of PI4KⅢβ is regu-lated by numerous factors,including host and viral protein bind-ing partners.This review will discuss the structure and the phys-iopathology regulatory mechanism of PI4KⅢβ.

The implementation of amplicon sequencing and metagenomic sequencing methods in the whole-genome sequen-cing for MPXV testing was compared,to provide a technical reference for sequencing,tracing,and epidemic prevention and control of MPXV.For amplicon sequencing,targeted amplification of the viral whole genome was performed on MPXV DNA,and was followed by next-generation sequencing of the amplification products.For metagenomic sequencing,next-generation sequencing was performed directly on MPXV DNA.After the sequences were obtained,software such as CLC and IGV were used to analyze the effective data percentage,sequencing depth,and whole-genome sequencing coverage under different sequen-cing depths for both sequencing methods,to evaluate sequencing quality.Nextclade was used to analyze virus typing,muta-tions,and deletions.Subsequently,the similarity and completeness of sequences obtained through both sequencing methods were further compared.On the basis of mapping to the refer-ence sequence of strain MPXV-M5312_HM12_Rivers(Gen-Bank number NC_063383.1),the percentage effective data obtained from amplicon sequencing and metagenomic sequen-cing was 99.72％and 7.54％,respectively,with a sequencing depth range of 0× to 334 839 ×,and 44 × to 1 000 ×.On the basis of a sequencing depth of 10 ×,the site coverage of the above was 90.3％and 100％,respectively.IGV was used to validate the whole-genome coverage under different sequencing depths.The depth coverage of whole-genome sites for metagenomic sequencing was uniform,whereas that of the whole-genome sites for amplicon sequencing was uneven and significantly differed.Virus typing and sequence similarity analysis indicated that the viral sequences obtained with the two sequencing methods all belonged to the Ⅱb B.1 lineage of MPXV.Comparison with the reference sequence indicated that metagenomic sequencing identified 73 nucleotide mutation sites,whereas amplicon sequen-cing identified 68 mutation sites.Further analysis demonstrated that seven common mutation sites of Ⅱb B.1 were not detected in the amplicon sequencing,and two false positive private mutation sites were identified.Amplicon or metagenomic sequencing methods thus can be flexibly used in MPXV virus whole-genome sequencing.Amplicon sequencing yields more effective data,whereas metagenomic sequencing provides better uniformity of coverage and sequence accuracy.This study provides a prelimi-nary understanding of the efficacy of each method and may serve as a technical reference for improving the success rate of whole-genome sequencing of MPXV.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units，and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 147，36.3%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=928，29.3%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=369，11.7%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=296，9.4%）and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci（ n=192，6.1%）. The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）were 26.4%（303/1 147）and 66.7%（619/928），respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome，rifampin，compound sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%（2/369），and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions（ χ2=14.578， P=0.002），while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions（ χ2=15.195， P=0.002）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=13.519 and 12.136， P<0.001）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions（per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022）were higher than those in economically less advanced regions（per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=9.969 and 7.606， P=0.002和0.006）. Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China， Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time；the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China，with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

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.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of vericiguat in the treatment of heart failure （HF） by rapid health technology evaluation method， and provide reference for the selection and decision-making of clinical treatment plans. METHODS Chinese and foreign databases such as CNKI， PubMed and related health technology evaluation websites were searched by computer. Relevant researchers independently screened literature， extracted data， and comprehensively analyzed the results of the included literature based on literature quality evaluation. RESULTS A total of 17 pieces of literature were included， involving 12 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 5 pharmacoeconomic studies. The effectiveness analysis showed： for HF patients， compared with placebo， vericiguat （10 mg/d） significantly improved the EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire （EQ-5D） index and decreased the rate of hospitalization due to HF （P＜0.05）. For heart failure with reduced ejection fraction （HFrEF） patients， vericiguat reduced the incidence of hospitalization due to HF compared with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor （SGLT2i）（P＜0.05）； compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor， vericiguat significantly reduced the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF（P＜0.05）. For HFrEF patients with chronic kidney disease， vericiguat had a tendency to reduce the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF compared with neurohormone inhibitors. Safety analysis showed： vericiguat did not increase drug-related adverse reactions compared to placebo （P＞0.05）. Economic analysis showed： domestic studies indicated that vericiguat had a higher incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. CONCLUSIONS Vericiguat has good safety and efficacy in the treatment of HF but does not possess an economic advantage in the Chinese population.

Platycodonis Radix is the dry root of Platycodon grandiflorum of Campanulaceae, which has a variety of pharmacological effects and is a commonly used bulk Chinese medicine. In this study, the chloroplast genome sequences of six P. grandiflorum from different producing areas has been sequenced with Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform. The specific DNA barcodes were screened, and the germplasm resources and genetic diversity were analyzed according to the specific barcodes. The total length of the chloroplast genome of 6 P. grandiflorum samples was 172 260-172 275 bp, and all chloroplast genomes showed a typical circular tetrad structure and encoded 141 genes. The comparative genomics analysis and results of amplification efficiency demonstrated that trnG-UCC and ndhG_ndhF were the potential specific DNA barcodes for identification the germplasm resources of P. grandiflorum. A total of 305 P. grandiflorum samples were collected from 15 production areas in 9 provinces, for which the fragments of trnG-UCC and ndhG_ndhF were amplificated and the sequences were analyzed. The results showed that trnG-UCC and ndhG_ndhF have 5 and 11 mutation sites, respectively, and 5 and 7 haplotypes were identified, respectively. The combined analysis of the two sequences formed 13 haplotypes (named Hap1-Hap13), and Hap4 is the main genotype, followed by Hap1. The unique haplotypes possessed by the three producing areas can be used as DNA molecular tags in this area to distinguish from the germplasm resources of P. grandiflorum from other areas. The haplotype diversity, nucleotide diversity and genetic distance were 0.94, 4.79×10^-3 and 0.000 0-0.020 3, respectively, suggesting that the genetic diversity was abundant and intraspecific kinship was relatively close. This study laid a foundation for the identification of P. grandiflorum, the protection and utilization of germplasm resources, and molecular breeding.
