Aim To explore the feasibility of the cloud exposure system for in vitro exposure experiments on inhalation toxicology.Methods Calu-3 cells cultured at the air-liquid interface(ALI)were exposed to three concentrations of lipopolysaccha-ride(LPS):high,medium,and low(800,400,200 mg·L-1)by the cloud exposure system,and phosphate buffer solu-tion(PBS)was used as a negative control group for one expo-sure,while the high concentration of LPS was used to expose Calu-3 cells for five times.Calu-3 cells were exposed to phos-phate buffer solution(PBS)once as negative control group and to high concentration of LPS solution for five times,and the ac-tivity of Calu-3 cells,the release of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),TEER,mucin MUC5AC,and the expression of inflam-matory factors IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α were detected 3 h and 24 h after the end of the exposure,respectively.Results Compared with the PBS-negative control group,after exposure to the Calu-3 cell model at the air-liquid interface with three concentrations of LPS,high,medium,and low,there were no significant changes in the activity and LDH release,but the cellular electrical resist-ance value was reduced,and the barrier function of the cells was impaired;with the increase of the exposure concentration,the LPS promoted the expression of the cellular mucin MUC5AC,which led to a decrease in the expression of cellular IL-6,IL-8,and a decrease in the expression of TNF-α.Expression of IL-6 and IL-8 decreased and TNF-α expression increased;as the fre-quency of exposure increased,LPS inhibited the expression of mucin and increased the expression of IL-6;an increase in the frequency of exposure along with a prolongation of post-exposure assay time resulted in an increase in the expression of cellular IL-8 and TNF-a.Conclusions The ALI cloud exposure ap-proach can effectively reflect the cellular response to positive subjects,and this in vitro exposure can be used in subsequent exposure experiments to evaluate the inhalation toxicity of com-pounds.

In the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation with radiofrequency ablation,it is often necessary to add the ablation of external trigger foci of pulmonary vein on the basis of annular pulmonary vein isolation,including linear ablation,BOX ablation and fragmentation potential ablation.The isthmus of mitral valve is the most important component of linear ablation,but it is difficult to reach the isthmus of mitral valve for complete blockade by conventional radiofrequency ablation.The guide catheter was transported through the inferior vena cava to the coronary sinus,and the injection of Marshall vein anhydrous ethanol for ablation could achieve epicardial and myocardial block in the mitral isthmus,and the ablation combined with the endocardial patch ablation in the mitral isthmus could significantly improve the ablation effect,but there were disadvantages such as Marshall vein and coronary vein injury,high surgical cost and long time.This paper reports a case of persistent atrial fibrillation treated by self-made perforated balloon with Marshall intravenous anhydrous ethanol combined with individualized ablation strategy.No major adverse cardiovascular events or recurrence of atrial fibrillation occurred during 6 months of follow-up after discharge.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for late-onset hemorrhagic cystitis(LOHC)after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT),the risk factors for the progression of LOHC to severe LOHC,and the effect of LOHC on survival.Methods:The clinical data of 300 patients who underwent allo-HSCT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The relevant clinical parameters that may affect the occurance of LOHC after allo-HSCT were selected for univariate and multivariate analysis.Then,the differences in overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)between different groups were analyzed.Results:The results of multivariate analysis showed that the independent risk factors for LOHC after allo-HSCT were as follows:age≤45 years old(P=0.039),intensified conditioning regimen with fludarabine/cladribine and cytarabine(P=0.002),albumin ≤ 30 g/L on d30 after transplantation(P=0.007),CMV-DNA positive(P=0.028),fungal infection before transplantation(P=0.026),and the occurrence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD(P=0.006).In the transplant patients who have already developed LOHC,the occurance of LOHC within 32 days after transplantation(P=0.008)and albumin ≤ 30 g/L on d30 after transplantation(P=0.032)were independent risk factors for the progression to severe LOHC.The OS rate of patients with severe LOHC was significantly lower than that of patients without LOHC(P=0.041).Conclusion:For the patients aged ≤ 45 years old and with intensified conditioning regimen,it is necessary to be vigilant about the occurrence of LOHC;For the patients with earlier occurrence of LOHC,it is necessary to be vigilant that it develops into severe LOHC.Early prevention and treatment of LOHC are essential.Regular monitoring of CMV-DNA and albumin levels,highly effective antiviral and antifungal therapies,and prevention of aGVHD are effective measures to prevent the occurrence and development of LOHC.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of primary poor graft function (PGF) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with myeloid malignancies and the impact of primary PGF on survival. Methods:The clinical data of 146 patients with myeloid malignancies who underwent allo-HSCT in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively studied. Some relevant clinical parameters which may affect the development of primary PGF after allo-HSCT were selected for univariate and multivariate analysis,as well as performed survival analysis. Results:A total of 9 patients (6.16％) were diagnosed with primary PGF,and their medium age was 37(28-53) years old. Among them,1 case underwent matched sibling donor HSCT,1 case underwent matched unrelated donor HSCT,and 7 cases underwent HLA-haploidentical related donor HSCT. Moreover,5 cases were diagnosed as cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection,and 3 cases as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that CD34+cell dose<5×106/kg and pre-transplant C-reactive protein (CRP)>10 mg/L were independent risk factors for occurrence of the primary PGF after allo-HSCT in patients with myeloid malignancies. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate of primary PGF group was 52.5％,which was significantly lower than 82.8％ of good graft function group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Making sure pre-transplant CRP≤10 mg/L and CD34+cell dose ≥5×106/kg in the graft may have an effect on preventing the occurrence of primary PGF after allo-HSCT. The occurrence of primary PGF may affect the OS rate of transplant patients,and early prevention and treatment are required.

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 explore the effect of Shexiang Baoxin pill on cardiac tissue angiogenesis in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR).Method Twenty 12 week old male SHR were randomly divided into experimental group and model group,with 12 week old male SD rats as the normal control group.The experimental group rats were orally administered with Shexiang Baoxin pill(45 mg·kg-1)daily,and their blood pressure was monitored using a non-invasive tail artery blood pressure gauge every four weeks.Eight weeks later,cardiac tissue was taken for platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(PECAM-1/CD31)immunofluorescence staining to observe CD31 expression level.Use protein blotting to detect the expression levels of myocardial endothelial growth factor(VEGF),myocardial endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGF-R2),basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-Akt)/protein kinase B(Akt)proteins.Result There was significant increase in blood pressure between the experimental group,model group and normal group at the same time point(all P＜0.01),but there was no statistically significant difference in blood pressure changes between the experimental group and model group at the same time point(all P＞0.05).The CD31 expression rates of the normal group,model group and experimental group were(3.79±0.84)％,(2.54±0.42)％and(3.56±0.49)％;VEGF levels were 0.95±0.10,0.73±0.08 and 0.94±0.15;VEGF-R2 levels were 0.85±0.10,0.61±0.14 and 0.80±0.10;bFGF levels were 0.84±0.04,0.51±0.21 and 0.74±0.14;p-Akt/Akt levels were 0.85±0.15,0.57±0.13 and 0.80±0.20,respectively.The differences between the normal group and the model group,as well as the experimental group and the model group,were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Shexiang Baoxin pill can promote the neovascularization of microvessels in the heart tissue of spontaneously hypertensive rats,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of PI3K/Akt phosphorylation,upregulation of bFGF,VEGF and their receptor VEGF-R2 in myocardial tissue.

Microplastics(MPs)are emerging contaminants in aquatic environments characterized by their polar structure,small particle size(Typically less than 5 mm),large surface area,good stability,and resistance to biodegradation.They pose adverse effects on the normal physiological activities of aquatic organisms and can accumulate in biota,including humans.Therefore,there is an urgent need for rapid and accurate quantitative analysis of MPs in water environments.In this study,Raman spectroscopy combined with partial least squares(PLS)was employed for rapid and accurate quantitative analysis of polyethylene(PE)and polystyrene(PS)MPs in real water samples.Initially,33 simulated water samples containing different concentrations of MPs were prepared,and their Raman spectra were collected.Six spectral preprocessing methods(Normalization,multiplicative scatter correction,standard normal variate transformation,first derivative,second derivative,and wavelet transform)were investigated for their impact on the predictive performance of PLS calibration models.Subsequently,three variable selection methods including synergy interval partial least squares(SiPLS),variable importance in projection(VIP)and mutual information(MI)were employed to optimize the input variables of the PLS calibration model.The predictive capability of the PLS calibration model was evaluated and validated using leave-one-out cross-validation.Under the optimal conditions of spectral preprocessing,variable selection,input variables and latent variables,the wavelet transform-partial least squares(WT-PLS)calibration model based on distilled water was established,and the contents of PE and PS in real water samples were predicted with prediction correlation coefficients(R2p)of 0.9540 and 0.8472 for PE and PS,respectively,and prediction errors(Errorp)of 0.0690 and 0.1126,respectively.Furthermore,a mixed sample MI-PLS calibration model was developed,demonstrating the best predictive performance in real water samples(With R2p values of 0.9776 and 0.9755 for PE and PS,respectively,and Errorp values of 0.0360 and 0.0392,respectively).This method provided a novel approach and new methodology for quantitative analysis of MPs and other organic pollutants in real water samples.
