Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

Objective:To investigate the application value of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 18F prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT combined with the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmin) of biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) in predicting pathological upgrading after radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer. Methods:The data of 89 patients with localized prostate cancer treated at Beijing Hospital from April 2019 to October 2023 were retrospectively analysed. The average age of patients was (68.4±7.0) years old, with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 7.7 (5.4, 12.9) ng/ml, prostate volume of 34.6 (26.9, 47.1) ml, tumor diameter of 1.3 (1.0, 1.8) cm, prostate imaging reporting and data system(PI-RADS) score of 5 in 29 cases (32.6%), clinical stage ≥T 3 in 13 cases (14.6%). There were 31 cases (34.8%) in group 1 of targeted biopsy International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP)grading groups, 36 cases (40.4%) in group 2, 11 cases (12.4%) in group 3, and 11 cases (12.4%) in group 4. All patients underwent 18F-PSMA PET/CT and bpMRI examinations before RP. The index lesion, identified as the highest Gleason score in pathological whole-mount sections, were outlined. SUVmax and ADCmin values were calculated from the images' region of interest. Pathological upgrading was defined as the post-RP grade group higher than the targeted-biopsy grade group. Clinical data of patients with and without pathological upgrading were compared. Spearman correlation coefficient analysis was used to assess the correlation between SUVmax and ADCmin. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the factors influencing pathological upgrading. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was employed to assess the predictive value of each indicator for pathological upgrading. Results:Among the 89 cases, 31 cases (34.8%) experienced pathological upgrading. Compared with the patients without pathological upgrading, the SUVmax [11.3 (8.1, 16.4) vs. 6.7 (4.6, 9.2)], SUVmax/ADCmin ratio [3.1 (2.0, 4.6) vs. 1.4 (0.9, 2.1)], PSA [9.8 (6.3, 15.6) ng/ml vs. 7.1 (5.1, 10.5) ng/ml], PSA density [0.3 (0.2, 0.5) ng/ml 2 vs. 0.2 (0.1, 0.3) ng/ml 2], and post-RP ISUP grade group [≥3 group 17 cases (54.8%) vs. 13 cases(22.4%) ]were higher in patients with pathological upgrading, while ADCmin [3.8 (3.0, 5.3) ×10 -4 mm 2/s vs. 5.2 (3.6, 6.1)×10 -4 mm 2/s] and targeted biopsy ISUP grade group [≤2 group 27 cases(87.1%) vs. 40 cases(69.0%) ] were lower (all P<0.05). Spearman analysis showed a negative correlation between SUVmax and ADCmin ( R = -0.227, P = 0.032). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that SUVmax ( OR = 1.108, 95% CI 1.020-1.238), ADCmin ( OR=0.607, 95% CI 0.390-0.874), and SUVmax/ADCmin ratio ( OR = 1.815, 95% CI 1.282-2.949) independently predicted pathological upgrading. The AUC of the SUVmax/ADCmin ratio for predicting pathological upgrading (AUC = 0.817) was higher than that of SUVmax (AUC = 0.774) and ADCmin (AUC=0.686), indicating a higher predictive efficiency. Conclusions:SUVmax, ADCmin, and SUVmax/ADCmin ratio can independently predict pathological upgrading in targeted biopsy of prostate cancer. The SUVmax/ADCmin ratio has a stronger predictive value for pathological upgrading.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT PRIMAY score combined with multiparameter MRI (mpMRI) PI-RADS score for clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa). Methods:The data of 63 patients with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy at Beijing Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 70 (64, 75) years old with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 8.46 (5.40, 14.80) ng/ml. All patients underwent 18F-PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI examination before surgery, and pathological large sections of prostate specimens were made after surgery. The prostate lesions were diagnosed and located by two radiologists and one pathologist respectively. Lesions with Gleason scores (GS)≥3+ 4 from the surgical pathology were diagnosed with CsPCa, and lesions with negative or GS=6 were diagnosed with non-CsPCa. The PSMA PET/CT images were evaluated using the PRIMARY study criteria (5-level PRlMARY score): no pattern (score of 1), diffuse transition zone or central zone(not focal) (score of 2), focal transition zone(score of 3), focal peripheral zone(score of 4), or an SUV max of at least 12 (score of 5). The degree of uptake of imaging agent in prostate lesions was semi-quantitatively evaluated using lesion-to-background ratios (LBR) of SUV max. MpMRI was evaluated according to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2.1. The patients were divided into CsPCa group and non-CsPCa group based on patients and lesions. Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used to compare the differences between groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent predictive factors of CsPCa. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal diagnostic threshold for each independent predictor. Predictive models were constructed for PRIMARY score, PI-RADS score, and their combined application, and the diagnostic performance of each model for CsPCa was compared. Results:Of all 63 patients, there were 54 cases in CsPCa group (85.7%) and 9 cases in non-CsPCa group (14.3%).There was significant difference between CsPCa group and non-CsPCa group in the serum PSA level [9.64 (6.1, 15.3) ng/ml vs. 5.6 (4.6, 7.6) ng/ml]( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in age [71 (64, 75) years vs. 65 (63, 69) years], and number of lesions [2 (1, 2) vs. 2 (1, 3)] (all P>0.05). Of all 109 lesions, there were 81 lesions in CsPCa group(including 49 lesions with Gleason score = 3+ 4, 16 lesions with Gleason score=4+ 3, 14 lesions with Gleason score = 8, and 2 lesions with Gleason score>8) and 28 lesions in non-CsPCa group(including 14 lesions with Gleason score = 3+ 3 and 14 with benign prostate lesions). There was significant difference between CsPCa group and non-CsPCa group in PRIMARY score [4 (3, 5) vs. 2 (1, 4)], LBR [2.69 (2.08, 4.48) vs. 1.89 (1.45, 2.48)], PI-RADS score [4 (3, 5) vs. 2 (2, 3)] (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the lesion distribution including the number of lesions located in the transition zone [15(18.5%) vs. 8(28.6%)] and in the peripheral zone[66(81.5%) vs. 20(71.4%)]( P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that PRIMARY score ( OR=2.134, 95% CI 1.429-3.187) and PI-RADS score ( OR=2.689, 95% CI 1.618-4.469) were independent predictors of CsPCa (both P<0.01). ROC curves analysis revealed that the cut-off value for diagnosing CsPCa was both 3 for PRIMARY score and PI-RADS score. The accuracy for PRIMARY score, PI-RADS score, and their combined complication in diagnosing CsPCa was 72%, 67%, and 83%, respectively. The sensitivity was 72%, 63%, and 91%, and the specificity was 75%, 79%, and 57%, respectively. The positive predictive value was 89%, 89%, and 86%, and the negative predictive value was 48%, 42%, and 70%, respectively. The area under the curve of the PRIMARY score, PI-RADS score, and their combined complication of the ROC curve for CsPCa were 0.733 (95% CI 0.624-0.842), 0.708 (95% CI 0.599-0.817), and 0.743 (95% CI 0.623-0.862), respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of their combined complication was higher than PRIMARY score or PI-RADS score alone (both P<0.01). Conclusions:Both the 18F-PSMA PET/CT PRIMAY score and the mpMRI PI-RADS score have good diagnostic value for CsPCa. The combined application of the two imaging parameters can improve the accuracy, sensitivity, and negative predictive value, which have a higher diagnostic efficiency of CsPCa.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous immunotherapy(SCIT)using dust mites in children with allergic asthma.Methods In a prospective randomized controlled study,98 children with dust mite-induced allergic asthma were randomly divided into a control group(n=49)and an SCIT group(n=49).The control group received inhaled corticosteroid treatment,while the SCIT group additionally received a standardized three-year SCIT regimen.The two groups were compared based on peripheral blood eosinophil percentage,visual analogue score(VAS),total medication score,Asthma Control Test/Childhood Asthma Control Test scores,fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO),and lung function before treatment,and at 6 months,1 year,2 years,and 3 years after treatment.Adverse reactions were recorded post-injection to evaluate the safety of SCIT.Results Compared with pre-treatment levels,the SCIT group showed a significant reduction in the percentage of peripheral blood eosinophils,VAS,total medication score,and FeNO,while lung function significantly improved,and asthma control levels were better 3 years after treatment(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the SCIT group showed more significant improvement in all evaluated indicators 3 years after treatment(P<0.05).A total of 2 744 injections were administered,resulting in 157 cases(5.72%)of local adverse reactions and 4 cases(0.15%)of systemic adverse reactions,with no severe systemic adverse events.Conclusions SCIT is an effective and safe treatment for allergic asthma in children.

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.
