Background: The association of changes in metabolic syndrome (MetS) with cognitive function remains unclear. We explored this association using prospective and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies. Methods: MetS components including high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), systolic blood pressure (SBP), waist circumference (WC), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and triglycerides were measured at baseline and two follow-ups, constructing a MetS index. Immediate, delayed memory recall, and cognitive function along with its dimensions were assessed by immediate 10- word recall test (IWRT) and delayed 10-word recall test (DWRT), and mini-mental state examination (MMSE), respectively, at baseline and follow-ups. Linear mixed-effect model was used. Additionally, the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of MetS was conducted and one-sample MR was performed to assess the causality between MetS and cognitive function. Results: Elevated MetS index was associated with decreasing annual change rates (decrease) in DWRT and MMSE scores, and with decreases in attention, calculation and recall dimensions. HDL-C was positively associated with an increase in DWRT scores, while SBP and FPG were negatively associated. HDL-C showed a positive association, whereas WC was negatively associated with increases in MMSE scores, including attention, calculation and recall dimensions. Interaction analysis indicated that the association of MetS index on cognitive decline was predominantly observed in low family income group. The GWAS of MetS identified some genetic variants. MR results showed a non-significant causality between MetS and decrease in DWRT, IWRT, nor MMSE scores. Conclusion Our study indicated a significant association of MetS and its components with declines in memory and cognitive function, especially in delayed memory recall.

Objective To compare the effects of intraoperative manual reduction and Kirschner wire prying reduction in the treatment of completely displaced supracondylar Gartland type Ⅲ fracture of humerus in children.Methods Forty-four children with completely displaced supracondylar Gartland type Ⅲ fracture of humerus who came to our hospital from September 2021 to April 2022 were selected and randomly divided into the prying group and the manual group,with 22 cases in each group.The operation time,number of intraoperative fluoroscopy,fracture healing time,curative effect 6 months after operation and postoperative complications(infection,ulnar nerve injury,myositis ossificans,elbow inversion deformity)were compared between the two groups.Results All 44 children completed surgery,without incision cases.In the manual group,2 children were dissatisfied with manual reduction after repeated attempts and finally changed to Kirschner wire prying reduction,who were excluded in the follow-up study.The operation time was(39.59±5.59)minutes in the prying group,which was shorter than that of(57.50±9.28)minutes in the manual group;the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy was(7.73±1.98)in the prying group,which was less than that of(15.60±3.20)in the manual group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Six months after operation,there was no significant difference in the excellent and good rate of curative effect between the two groups(P>0.05).All the fractures healed from 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.There was no significant difference in the healing time or incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion For completely displaced supracondylar Gartland type Ⅲ fracture of humerus in children,Kirschner wire prying reduction can shorten operation time and reduce intraoperative fluoroscopy,which is a safe,convenient,reliable reduction method with less traumas.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of fluorescent laparoscopy versus conventional laparoscopy for living-donor hepatectomy and explore the application value of fluorescent cholangiography in pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LT) using left lateral lobe.Methods:From October 2016 to August 2023, retrospective analysis was conducted for the relevant clinical data from 302 recipients of laparoscopic left lateral lobe donor hepatectomy. There were 90 cases in conventional laparoscopy group and 212 cases in fluorescent laparoscopy group. After propensity score matching (PSM), 88 patients were enrolled into each group. The perioperative data such as operative duration, donor liver thermal ischemic time, number of graft bile duct openings, liver function parameters and complication rates at Day 1/3 postoperation of donors and recipients were compared between two groups. SPSS 27.0 statistical software was utilized for analysis. Independent sample t, Mann-Whitney U and chisquare tests were utilized for examining the inter-group differences. Results:In fluorescent laparoscopy group, the proportion of grafts with a single open left hepatic duct was 84.1 %(74/88) versus 70.5% (62/88) in conventional laparoscopy group with statistically significant difference ( P=0.031). No statistically significant inter-group differences existed in postoperative liver function recovery or short-term postoperative complications ( P>0.05 ). No statistically significant inter-group differences existed in short-term postoperative liver function recovery or hospitalization length ( P> 0.05). In terms of biliary complications, fluorescent laparoscopy group had no biliary complications while the incidence of biliary complications was 3.4% (3/88) in conventional laparoscopy group. However, inter-group difference was statistically insignificant ( P>0.05 ) . Conclusions:Living-donor LT using left lateral lobe under fluorescent laparoscopy may enhance the surgical safety for both donors and recipients.

Objective To explore the correlation between colorectal cancer tissue Janus kinase 2(JAK2)gene mutations and T cytokine 3(TCF3)protein expression with clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis,and to provide laboratory reference indicators for early evaluation of the illness severity and prognosis of colorectal cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 50 colorectal cancer patients who were admitted from January 2016 to April 2021 and retained colon cancer and adjacent tissue wax blocks.Basic information,clinical and pathological features such as TNM staging,lymph node metastasis,and 3-year survival prognosis of the patients were collected.The wax blocks of colon cancer and adjacent tissues of patients were detected,in which Taqman fluorescence probe method was applied to detect the distribution of JAK2 gene at the rs2230724 locus AA,AG,and GG genotypes in colon cancer tissues,and immunohistochemistry method was applied to detect the positive expression rate of TCF3 protein in colon cancer and adjacent tissues.The basic information,JAK2 rs2230724 gene mutation,and TCF3 protein expression of patients with different clinical and pathological characteristics were compared,and the influencing factors of clinical and pathological characteristics of colon cancer was analyzed by logistic regression model.Kaplan Meier survival curve was applied to compare the survival prognosis of patients with JAK2 gene mutations and TCF3 protein expression in colorectal cancer tissue,and Cox regression model was applied to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.Results The positive expression rate of TCF3 protein in colon cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues(P＜0.05).The age,BMI,proportion of GG genotype at rs2230724 locus of JAK2 gene and positive expression rate of TCF3 protein in TNM stage Ⅲ colon cancer patients were higher than those in TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients(P＜0.05);The age,BMI,smoking rate,proportion of GG type at the rs2230724 locus of JAK2 gene in colon cancer tissue,and positive expression rate of TCF3 protein in patients with lymph node metastasis were higher than those without lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05);The results of the logistic regression model analysis showed that the influencing factors of clinical pathological features such as TNM staging and lymph node metastasis in colon cancer were age,mutation of JAK2 gene rs2230724 site in colon cancer tissue,and positive expression rate of TCF3 protein(P＜0.05).The Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis showed that patients with JAK2 gene rs2230724 GG genotype and TCF3 protein positivity in colon cancer tissue had higher cumulative all-cause mortality rates(P＜0.05).The results of univariate and multivariate Cox regression model analysis showed that independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients include JAK2 gene rs2230724 site GG type,TCF3 protein positive expression,TNM stage Ⅲ,lymph node metastasis,and age.Conclusion The proportion of JAK2 gene rs2230724 GG type and TCF3 protein expression in colorectal cancer tissues are related to their clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis,and can be used as reference indicators for evaluating clinical pathological characteristics and predicting prognosis of colorectal cancer.

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 investigate the effects of dynamic lung compliance(Cdyn)-guided indi-vidual positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP)titration on pulmonary function in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.Methods Sixty-eight elderly patients were selected for laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer,37 males and 31 females,aged 65-79 years,BMI<30 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ.The patients were divided into two groups using the random number table method:individualized PEEP group(group P)and control group(group C),34 patients in each group.In group P,the patients received recruitment maneuvers and PEEP titration test at immediately after intubation,immediately after establishing pneumoperitoneum-Trendelenburg position and immediately after pneumoperitoneum.The patients in group C received PEEP 5 cmH2 O during procedure.The three best titra-tion PEEP and the actual tidal volume(VT)in group P were also recorded.PaO2,PaCO2,PETCO2 10 mi-nutes after the tracheal intubation(T1),10 minutes(T2)and 1 hour(T3)after establishing pneumoperito-neum-Trendelenburg position,at the end of the surgery but before extubation(T4)were recorded,and the oxygenation index(OI),physiological dead space to tidal volume(Vd/VT),alveolar arterial oxygen differ-ence(A-aDO2),driving pressure,and Cdyn were calculated.Concentrations of interleukin-8(IL-8),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),Clara cell secretoyr protein(CC16)and lung alveolar surface active sub-stances-D(SP-D)in the serum samples were determined by ELISA before anesthesia induction(T0)and 10 minutes after extubation(T5).Postoperative pulmonary complications(PPCs)were also recordrd.Results The individualized PEEP of Cdyn?guided PEEP titration was 4 cmH2O. Compared with group C, the PaO2 and OI in group C were significantly increased at T4, the Cdyn was significantly increased at T1,T3, and T4, the driving pressure was significantly decreased at T1 -T4, the serum concentration of CC16 was significantly decreased at T5 ( P < 0. 05). There were no significant differences in PaCO2, PET CO2,A?aDO2, and Vd/ VT between the two groups. There was no severe PPCs in the two groups. Conclusion Pressure?controlled ventilation modes combined with Cdyn?guide PEEP titration can increase the Cdyn, reduce thedriving pressure, and improve OI at the end of the operation, reduce the concentrations of CC16 at postop?eration, improve pulmonary function in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.
