The number of patients with reduced blood volume due to haemorrhage, fractures, severe infections, extensive burns and tumours is increasing, and traditional blood products are no longer able to meet the increasing clinical demand. Therefore, plasma substitutes have become particularly important in fluid resuscitation, especially artificial colloidal solutions, which have a sustained volume expansion time and a good volume expansion effect, and can significantly improve the circulatory status of patients. This article aims to review the classification of artificial colloidal plasma substitutes and their research progress in clinical practice, in order provide a more rigorous, professional and standardized reference for medicine.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound imaging characteristics combined with clinical indicators in assessing the prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for patients who underwent pancreatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) from September 2017 to October 2023 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and were diagnosed with PDAC based on pathological findings. Various parameters were recorded, including CA19-9 levels, tumor size, location, morphologic features, echogenicity, presence of internal cystic components, dilatation of the main pancreatic duct, peripheral vascular invasion, CEUS characteristics, presence or absence of liver metastasis, and treatment methods. In April 2024, patient survival information was obtained through telephone follow-up or review of medical records. Based on the results of the cox regression model analysis, a nomogram model of the risk of death was developed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model. The calibration curves were plotted to evaluate the accuracy of the model, and clinical decision curves were used to evaluate the clinical benefit of the model.Results:This study included a total of 207 patients with PDAC. As of April 2024, 71 patients were alive and 136 died, with a median survival time of 14 months (95% CI: 12 -17). Multivariate analysis confirmed that the elevated CA19-9 ( HR=1.689, 95% CI: 1.102-2.588), tumor size >4 cm ( HR=1.641, 95% CI: 1.159-2.322), taller-than-wide shapes ( HR=1.450, 95% CI: 1.019-2.065), incomplete hypo-enhancement ( HR=1.618, 95% CI: 1.100-2.380), and liver metastasis ( HR=1.687, 95% CI: 1.175-2.423) were independent risk factors for survival in patients with PDAC. A nomogram model was further constructed for 6-month, 12-month and 3-year survival of patients with PDAC. The areas under the ROC curve were 0.679, 0.705 and 0.815, respectively. The calibration curves suggested that the model was more accurate, and the clinical decision curves showed that the model had a better clinical benefit. Conclusion:The combined use of ultrasound imaging characteristics and clinical indicators could effectively predict the prognosis of PDAC patients. Specifically, tumor size >4 cm, taller-than-wide shapes, incomplete hypo-enhancement, elevated CA19-9, and the presence of liver metastasis are correlated with poorer survival outcomes. The nomogram model constructed on the basis of these factors can be used to assess the survival of patients with PDAC.

Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury(CIRI)is a pathophysiological process affecting the prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Its mechanism is complex and remains unclear.Long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)are a class of non-coding RNA(ncRNA).Early studies of LncRNA focused on their relationship with tumor-related diseases,but recent studies have found that they are also closely related to the pathological process of CIRI.LncRNA participate in the damage and repair processes of CIRI by affecting oxidative stress,autophagy,and apoptosis of the nervous system,as well as the inflammatory response and other mechanisms.They can regulate the progression of CIRI in a positive or negative way,and they play an important role in the related signaling pathways.This review focuses on the mechanisms bv which LncRNA regulate CIRI.

Aim To explore the effect of the classical famous prescription Dahuang Zhechong pill(DHZCP)on relieving liver cirrhosis by regulating the stress fiber remodeling mediated by mechanistic signaling pathway and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods Mice were randomly divided into the control group,model group,DHZCP low-dose group,DHZCP high-dose group,and Colchicine-positive control group.The liver cirrhosis mouse model was constructed by intrap-eritoneal injection of olive oil-solubilized CCl4.HE staining and serologic markers were used to reflect liver injury.Masson staining was used to evaluate collagen deposition in liver tissue.ELISA was applied to detect vasoactive molecules and cancer indicators.Atomic force microscopy was employed to detect liver tissue stiffness.Color Doppler diagnostic instrument was used to assess portal blood flow velocity.Western blot was utilized to detect ROCK2 expression and phosphoryla-tion of YAP,Cofilin,and MLC.Results The liver tis-sues in the model group had obvious inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen deposition,accompanied by significant elevation of serum transaminases and fibrosis indexes.Similarly,vasoactive molecules and cancer in-dicators were elevated,and the mechanoregulatory pro-tein ROCK2 expression and phosphorylation of Cofilin and MLC were elevated,with YAP being strongly de-phosphorylated.Both low and high doses of DHZCP re-versed the pathological changes,serological indices,and inhibited the activation of the stress fiber(SF)re-modeling mechanistic signaling pathway.Conclusion DHZCP effectively ameliorates liver tissue lesions in mice with liver cirrhosis,and its mechanism may be re-lated to the inhibition of SF remodeling mechanistic signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of circulating free DNA(cfDNA)combined with interleukin 10(IL-10)in predicting central nervous system infiltration(CNSI)in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:The clinical data of 63 patients with DLBCL in our hospital from May 2021 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The 63 patients were divided into CNSI group(15 cases)and non-CNSI group(48 cases)base on whether CNSI occurred.The age,sex,Ann Arbor stage,ECOG score,IPI risk,CNS-IPI risk,number of extranodal sites involved,bone marrow involvement,hypertrophic disease,B symptoms,source cells,glucose quantification,Pandy test,cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)chlorine,CSF nucleated cell count,CSF protein,peripheral blood cfDNA,and IL-10 status were compared between the two groups.The correlation between cfDNA,IL-10 in peripheral blood and CSF protein was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of peripheral blood cfDNA and IL-10 on secondary CNSI in DLBCL patients.The last follow-up was on November 30,2023.Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the time of secondary CNSI in the non-CNSI group.Results:The IPI risk,CNS-IPI risk,number of extranodal sites involved,and CSF protein in the CNSI group were significantly higher than those in the non-CNSI group(all P＜0.05).The levels of cfDNA and IL-10 in peripheral blood of CNSI group were significantly higher than those of non-CNSI group(both P＜0.01).cfDNA and IL-10 in peripheral blood were both positively correlated with CSF protein(r=0.402 4,0.315 1).ROC curve analysis showed that peripheral blood cfDNA and IL-10 had certain predictive value for CNSI,and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.829 and 0.742,respectively.The AUC of the combined detection was 0.910,with a sensitivity of 80.00％and a specificity of 93.70％.The diagnostic efficacy was significantly higher than that of the two prediction values alone.The median follow-up time was 20(6-31)months.Non-CNSI patients were grouped based on peripheral blood cfDNA combined with IL-10 positive or negative pairs.The time of secondary CNSI in positive group was significantly shorter than that in negative group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:cfDNA and IL-10 in peripheral blood of DLBCL patients with CNSI are significantly increased,and the combined detection of cfDNA and IL-10 has good predictive value for CNSI.

The number and types of drug abuse are increasing all over the world.The detection of drug suspects and biological samples of drug users plays an important role in forensic medicine.Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)has the characteristics of fingerprint recognition,high sensitivity,high accuracy,fast and nondestructive,and is not interfered by water molecules.SERS has been widely used in detection of trace drugs and drugs in complex matrices.This paper introduced the types of SERS substrates applied to drug detection and the development status of portable SERS instruments.The research progresses of SERS in drug detection in the past five years were reviewed,focusing on the types of SERS detected drugs,the design of enhanced substrates,detection methods and detection limits.Finally,the application prospect of SERS technology in drug detection was discussed to provide reference for the development of drug detection technology in the future.

A novel analytical method was developed in this study by combining online solid phase extraction with ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(Online SPE-UPLC-MS/MS)for simultaneous determination of 50 kinds of steroid hormones in surface water.Specifically,after high-speed centrifugation of 4 mL water samples,the supernatant was directly injected into an Oasis HLB online SPE column for enrichment and purification.Subsequently,the target compounds were transferred to the analytical column via valve switching for separation and analysis.The chromatographic separation was performed on a Thermo Acclaim RSLC C18 column(100 mm×2.1 mm,2.2 μm),using a mobile phase composed of 5 mmol/L ammonium fluoride aqueous solution and acetonitrile.Mass spectrometric detection was conducted in positive ion mode,utilizing multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)with quantification achieved by the internal standard method.The method validation demonstrated that the limits of detection(LOD)for the 50 kinds of steroid hormones ranged from 0.02 to 0.50 ng/L,while the limits of quantification(LOQ)were between 0.08 and 1.67 ng/L.The average recoveries in surface water samples at spiked concentrations of 5,20 and 200 ng/L were between 74.1％and 119％,with relative standard deviations(RSDs)of 0.2％to 9.9％.This method was applied to analyze 11 surface water samples collected from sites surrounding a pharmaceutical and chemical industrial park.A total of 44 kinds of steroid hormones were detected,with concentrations ranging from 0.11 to 88.6 ng/L,revealing the presence of hormone contamination in the environmental waters surrounding industrial areas.Compared with the traditional offline SPE methods,the proposed online SPE technique significantly reduced sample volume requirements and pretreatment time,while minimizing the loss of target compounds during the pretreatment process.Moreover,compared to reported online SPE techniques,this method achieved high-throughput analysis of multiple classes of steroid hormones,with lower detection limits and higher recoveries.Overall,this method provided rapid sample preparation,high sensitivity,and excellent stability,making it suitable for the direct analysis of trace steroid hormones in surface water.
