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 analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of pediatric patients with dual genetic diagnoses (DGD). Methods: Clinical and genetic data of pediatric patients with DGD from January 2021 to February 2022 in Peking University First Hospital were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results: Among the 9 children, 6 were boys and 3 were girls. The age of last visit or follow-up was 5.0 (2.7,6.8) years. The main clinical manifestations included motor retardation, mental retardation, multiple malformations, and skeletal deformity. Cases 1-4 were all all boys, showed myopathic gait, poor running and jumping, and significantly increased level of serum creatine kinase. Disease-causing variations in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene were confirmed by genetic testing. The 4 children were diagnosed with DMD or Becker muscular dystrophy combined with a second genetic disease, including hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, spinal muscular atrophy, fragile X syndrome, and cerebral cavernous malformations type 3, respectively. Cases 5-9 were clinically and genetically diagnosed as COL9A1 gene-related multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 6 combined with NF1 gene-related neurofibromatosis type 1, COL6A3 gene-related Bethlem myopathy with WNT1 gene-related osteogenesis imperfecta type XV, Turner syndrome (45, X0/46, XX chimera) with TH gene-related Segawa syndrome, Chromosome 22q11.2 microduplication syndrome with DYNC1H1 gene-related autosomal dominant lower extremity-predominant spinal muscular atrophy-1, and ANKRD11 gene-related KBG syndrome combined with IRF2BPL gene-related neurodevelopmental disorder with regression, abnormal movement, language loss and epilepsy. DMD was the most common, and there were 6 autosomal dominant diseases caused by de novo heterozygous pathogenic variations. Conclusions: Pediatric patients with coexistence of double genetic diagnoses show complex phenotypes. When the clinical manifestations and progression are not fully consistent with the diagnosed rare genetic disease, a second rare genetic disease should be considered, and autosomal dominant diseases caused by de novo heterozygous pathogenic variation should be paid attention to. Trio-based whole-exome sequencing combining a variety of molecular genetic tests would be helpful for precise diagnosis.

AIM:To observe the clinical effect of different concentration of fluorometholone eye drops on severe mixed vernal keratoconjunctivitis in children.METHODS: A total of 50 cases(100 eyes)of children with severe mixed vernal keratoconjunctivitis treated in the outpatient department of our hospital from March to September, 2022 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 25 cases(50 eyes)who were treated with 0.1% fluorometholone eye drops combined with 0.05% cyclosporine eye drops(Ⅱ), while 25 patients(50 eyes)in group B were treated with 0.02% fluorometholone eye drops combined with 0.05% cyclosporine eye drops(Ⅱ). After 1mo of treatment, SPEED questionnaire score, corneal fluorescein staining(FL)score, tear break-up time(TBUT), Schirmer I test(SⅠt), R-scan, non-invasive tear meniscus height(NIKTMH), corneal optical density and other ocular parameters of the two groups were observed, and the occurrence of adverse reactions were recorded.RESULTS: After 1mo of treatment, there were significant differences in SPEED score, FL score and R-scan results between the two groups(all P<0.05), and no differences in TBUT, SⅠt and NIKTMH results(all P>0.05). However, there were statistical significance in corneal optical density in different corneal depth and diameter ranges(all P<0.05). After 1mo of treatment, there was no significant difference in intraocular pressure between the two groups(16.21±2.90mmHg vs. 16.05±2.75mmHg, P>0.05), and no obvious adverse reactions occurred during treatment.CONCLUSION: The 0.1% fluorometholone eye drops can effectively treat severe mixed vernal keratoconjunctivitis in children, and its effect is better than 0.02% fluorometholone eye drops.

We conducted a prospective study to assess the non-inferiority of adjuvant chemotherapy alone versus adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as an alternative strategy for patients with early-stage (FIGO 2009 stage IB-IIA) cervical cancer having risk factors after surgery. The condition was assessed in terms of prognosis, adverse effects, and quality of life. This randomized trial involved nine centers across China. Eligible patients were randomized to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or CCRT after surgery. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). From December 2012 to December 2014, 337 patients were subjected to randomization. Final analysis included 329 patients, including 165 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group and 164 in the adjuvant CCRT group. The median follow-up was 72.1 months. The three-year PFS rates were both 91.9%, and the five-year OS was 90.6% versus 90.0% in adjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT groups, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the PFS or OS between groups. The adjusted HR for PFS was 0.854 (95% confidence interval 0.415-1.757; P = 0.667) favoring adjuvant chemotherapy, excluding the predefined non-inferiority boundary of 1.9. The chemotherapy group showed a tendency toward good quality of life. In comparison with post-operative adjuvant CCRT, adjuvant chemotherapy treatment showed non-inferior efficacy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer having pathological risk factors. Adjuvant chemotherapy alone is a favorable alternative post-operative treatment.

ObjectiveTo explore the practical value of environment-friendly sample release agent combined with ultrasound in the preparation of pathological tissue sections. MethodsFrom February 2013 to December 2022， 2 518 pathological specimens submitted by Foshan Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the study objects. Two samples of the same specimen were randomly divided into two groups： the environment-friendly fast group， in which the pathological tissue sections were made by using the environment-friendly sample release agent combined with ultrasound； and the traditional group， in which formaldehyde， ethanol and xylene were used to make slices in the conventional way. The differences of hematoxylin （HE） staining effect， immunohistochemistry （IHC） staining effect and MDM2 gene detection result of atypical lipomatous tumor/highly differentiated liposarcoma （ALT/WDL） tissue sections between the two groups were compared. Results① The wax of the two groups' pathological tissues was dehydrated well and the tissue hardness was moderate. After HE staining， the sections of the two groups were intact， without cracks and tremor marks， and the contrast between nucleus and cytoplasm was appropriate， with good transparency， uniform staining， and no tissue loss. The excellent rate and score of HE staining in the environmental fast group were higher than those in the traditional group， but the difference was not statistically significant （χ² = 3.125，P₁ = 0.070；t = 0.965，P₂ = 0.334）. ②After IHC staining of the two groups of sections， the positive location of the cells was accurate， the staining was specific and uniform， the staining intensity was moderate， the staining sensitivity was good， and there was no tissue loss. The excellent rate of IHC staining and the positive rate of IHC staining in the environmental fast group were lower than those in the traditional group， but the difference was not statistically significant （χ₁² = 2.769，P₁ = 0.092；χ₂² = 0.800，P₂ = 0.375）. ③The background and outline of the two groups of WDL tissue sections were clear， the staining was uniform， the cells were clear and visible， the nuclear boundary was clear， the hybridization signal was clear and bright under the background fluorescence， and there was no miscellaneous signal. The two groups of sections were hybridized successfully， and MDM2 showed positive amplification. The number of cells successfully hybridized in the environment-friendly fast group was lower than that in the traditional group， but the difference was not statistically significant （t = 1.414，P = 0.230）. ConclusionsThe tissue treatment method of using environment-friendly sample release agent combined with ultrasound can ensure the detection effect of HE staining， IHC staining and MDM2 gene detection of pathological tissue sections， and is more efficient and environment-friendly， suitable for promotion and use in hospitals at all levels.

Objective To observe the effect of transversus abdominis plane block(TAPB)combined with patients controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)on the analgesia of patients after splenectomy.Methods A retrospective study method was conducted.A total of 63 patients who underwent splenectomy+pericardial vascular dissection in the department of general surgery of Nanchang No.9 Hospital from January to December 2021 were selected as the study objects.The patients were divided into TAPB combined with PCIA group(33 cases)and alone PICA group(30 cases)according to different postoperative analgesia techniques,and the postoperative analgesia effect was compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in sex,age,height,body mass,Child-Pugh grade and American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)grade.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative blood transfusion volume in TAPB combined with PCIA group were increased compared with alone PICA group[operation time(minutes):85.0(32.5)vs.82.5(40.0),intraoperative blood loss(mL):500(300)vs.425(500),intraoperative blood transfusion(mL):400(300)vs.300(525)],the incidence of postoperative abdominal infection and incisional infection tended to decrease compared with alone PICA group[abdominal infection:18.2％(6/33)vs.20.0％(6/30),incisional infection:21.2％(7/330)vs.23.3％(7/30)],but there was no significant difference between the two groups(both P>0.05).The visual analogue score(VAS)decreased gradually over time in both groups,and VAS in TAPB combined with PCIA group was significantly lower than that in PICA group at 6,12,24,48 and 72 hours after operation[4.0(1.0)vs.6.0(3.0),3.0(2.0)vs.4.0(2.0),2.0(1.5)vs 3.5(1.5),1.0(1.0)vs.2.0(1.5),1.0(1.0)vs.2.0(2.0),all P<0.05],the total number of PCIA compressions in TAPB combined with PCIA group was significantly lower than that of alone PICA group(times:2.64±1.19 vs.3.67±1.67,P<0.05).Conclusion The analgesic effect of TAPB combined with PCIA after splenectomy and devascularization is better than that of PCIA alone.

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in the elderly patients is currently a major health challenge worldwide, with excessive consumption of medical resources, high incidence of complications as well as suboptimal outcome and prognosis. Hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) has been the mainstream treatment for FNF in the elderly, but the conventional surgical approaches and techniques are still confronted with a series of bottlenecks such as dislocation, limp and limb length discrepancy. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) for HJA (DAA-HJA) has been a major new choice in the field of joint replacement, which achieves improved clinical effectiveness of HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF, due to the fact that DAA approach involves the neuromuscular interface and accords with the idea of soft tissue retention and enhanced recovery after surgery. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of standard technique and procedure of DAA-HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF. Therefore, relevant experts from the Hip Joint Group of Chinese Orthopedics Association of Chinese Medical Association, Youth Arthrology Group of Orthopedic Committee of PLA, Orthopedic Committee of Chongqing Medical Association, Branch of Orthopedic Surgeons of Chongqing Medical Doctor Association and Sport Medicine Committee of Chongqing Medical Association were organized to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the technical standard of direct anterior hip arthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fracture ( version 2023)" based on evidence-based medicine. This consensus mainly proposed 13 recommendations covering indications, surgical plans, prosthesis selections, surgical techniques and processes, and postoperative management of DAA-HJA in elderly patients with FNF, aiming to promote standardized, systematic and patient-specific diagnosis and treatment to improve the functional prognosis of the patients.
