To guide transfusion practice in critically ill children who often need plasma and platelet transfusions, the Transfusion and Anemia Expertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding (TAXI-CAB) developed Recommendations and Expert Consensus for Plasma and Platelet Transfusion Practice in Critically Ill Children. This guideline addresses 53 recommendations related to plasma and platelet transfusion in critically ill children with 8 kinds of diseases, laboratory testing, selection/treatment of plasma and platelet components, and research priorities. This paper introduces the specific methods and results of the recommendation formation of the guideline.

Background/Aims: Extended hepatectomy combined with caudate lobe resection has been approved for the radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. There was a lack of credible research on the clinical value of caudate lobectomy (CL) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma involving the hepatic hilus when combined with hepatectomy. We aimed to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of the combined procedure with those of only CL for curative resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma involving the hepatic hilus. Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma was conducted from January 2007 to December 2021. Patients who underwent radical resection were enrolled in this study. The short-term and long-term clinical outcomes of the groups were compared before and after propensity score matching (PSM). Results: A total of 282 patients were included. There were no statistically significant differences in perioperative clinical outcomes between the CL group and the non-CL group before and after PSM. Compared to patients in the non-CL group, patients in the CL group had significantly longer overall survival before and after PSM (p=0.007 before PSM, p=0.033 after PSM). Moreover, compared to the non-CL group, the CL group had longer disease-free survival before and after PSM (p<0.001 before PSM, p=0.019 after PSM). Conclusions The postoperative complications of the CL group were comparable to those of the non-CL group. CL improved the long-term survival of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma involving the hepatic hilus when combined with hepatectomy. Therefore, hepatectomy combined with caudate lobe resection should be performed for patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

With the widespread use of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacterial infections have become a significant threat to human health. Finding new antibacterial strategies that can effectively control drug-resistant bacterial infections has become an urgent task. Unlike small molecule drugs that target bacterial proteins, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) can target genes related to bacterial resistance, pathogenesis, growth, reproduction and biofilm formation. By regulating the expression of these genes, ASO can inhibit or kill bacteria, providing a novel approach for the development of antibacterial drugs. To overcome the challenge of delivering antisense oligonucleotide into bacterial cells, various drug delivery systems have been applied in this field, including cell-penetrating peptides, lipid nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles, which have injected new momentum into the development of antisense oligonucleotide in the antibacterial realm. This review summarizes the current development of small nucleic acid drugs, the antibacterial mechanisms, targets, sequences and delivery vectors of antisense oligonucleotide, providing a reference for the research and development of antisense oligonucleotide in the treatment of bacterial infections.

Under the trend of increasing aging， integrated elderly care and medical services is an important measure to optimize the supply of elderly care services and promote the good death of the elderly. Using the cooperative production theory and the classical grounded theory， a qualitative analysis was conducted on 38 cases of elderly palliative care and 25 cases of hospital-based palliative care under the integrated elderly care and medical services model from a hospital in Nanning City using Nvivo 20.0 software. This paper found that the integrated elderly care and medical services mode emphasized the deep integration of medical and elderly care services by integrating resources and improving service efficiency， to achieve the basic experience of comprehensive health care for the elderly. The promotion of these experiences has a positive significance for building a multi-agent cooperative production system， strengthening personnel training， perfecting the performance distribution mechanism， and further promoting the development of the national palliative care pilot.

Objective To mine the adverse drug event(ADE)signals of minocycline,to provide a reference for clinical drug safety.Methods The reporting odds ratio(ROR)method,proportional report ratio(PRR)method,the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency(MHRA)method,and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network(BCPNN)method were used to analyze the ADE reports of minocycline based on U.S.Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)registration data from first quarter 2004 to fourth quarter 2023,and the signal distribution,signal intensity,gender and age differences,and mortality based on standard MedDRA query(SMQ)were analyzed.Results A total of 16 871 ADE cases of minocycline were screened,and 364 positive ADE signals were mapped to 27 system organ classification(SOC),the most involved SOC were systemic diseases and various reactions at the administration site,skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases,various neurological diseases,etc,and the strong signals with the higher number of ADE cases were drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms(DRESS),polyarteritis nodosa and idiopathic intracranial hypertension,and compared to other drugs,the proportion of women with idiopathic intracranial hypertension caused by minocycline was higher(P＜0.05).At the same time,29 cases of ADE in children under 8 years old were obtained,involving 10 SOC,206 deaths and 1 046 associated ADE-related cases,and there were 1 565 cases of hypersensitivity ADE,and 88 PT signals under the hypersensitivity SMQ.Among them,DRESS,urticaria,anti-neutral cytoplasm antibody-positive vasculitis,and facial edema were reported in high numbers and with strong signals.Conclusion The risk of hypersensitivity events and autoimmune diseases should be vigilant in the clinical use of minocycline,and ophthalmic monitoring could be performed especially in female patients if necessary.Attention should be paid to ADE collection and monitoring of minocycline in children under 8 years old.

Objective To rapidly evaluate the effectiveness,safety and economy of edaravone in treating acute ischemic stroke(AIS),and to provide the evidence-based basis for clinical decision-making.Methods PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,CNKI and WanFang Data databases and the official website of health technology assessment(HTA)agency were electronically searched to collect HTA reports,systematic reviews/Meta-analysis and pharmacoeconomic studies of edaravone in the treatment of AIS from the inception to October 1,2024.Two reviewers independently screened the literature,extracted data,evaluated the quality,summarized the results,and qualitatively described and analyzed the results.Results A total of 12 literature were included,involving 9 systematic reviews/Meta-analysis and 3 pharmacoeconomic studies.In terms of efficacy,edaravone alone or in combination with conventional therapy(alteplase,ozagrel)increased efficiency,improved short-term neurological deficit scores and improved patients'ability to perform activities of daily living compared with placebo or conventional therapy(alteplase,ozagrel)(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between edaravone and placebo,routine treatment,or other neuroprotectants(P＞0.05).Combined with alteplase,it could reduce the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage compared to alteplase alone(P＜0.05),with no statistically significant difference in all-cause mortality(P＜0.05).Pharmacoeconomic studies showed that,edaravone does not have a cost-effectiveness advantage in the short term,but it may have a cost-effectiveness advantage from limited long-term studies.Conclusion Edaravone is effective and safe in the treatment of AIS,but there is limited research evidence and the conclusion still needs to be confirmed by further studies and clinical trials,and the economics need to be further evaluated.

Aim To study the effect of emetine on in-sulin secretion through glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor(GLP-1R).Methods Isolating rat islets were used to carry out insulin secretion experiment.Islets were incubated with different concentrations of emetine(2,10,50 μmol·L-1),different concentrations of glu-cose solution(2.8,11.1,16.7 mmol·L-1)or spe-cific GLP-1R antagonist Exendin(9-39).The amount of insulin secretion in the supernatant of each group was determined by an enzyme-linked radioimmunoas-say.Small molecule compounds were docked to GLP-1R(PDB code:5NX2)using SYBYL-X2.0 software.Results Emetine could promote insulin secretion in high glucose(11.1 mmol·L-1)in a dose-dependent manner.In low glucose(2.8 mmol·L-1),insulin secretion did not change after intervention of emetine.But in high glucose(11.1,16.7 mmol·L-1),insu-lin secretion significantly increased under the treatment of emetine in a glucose-dependent manner.The doc-king score of emetine and GLP-1R was Total Score=6.82,C Score=5,indicating that emetine had a good binding affinity with GLP-1R.Using Exendin(9-39)to block GLP-1R,the insulinotropic effect of emetine was reduced.Conclusion Emetine could promote in-sulin secretion,which is related to the activation of GLP-1R.
