Objective: To establish and validate a whole blood (WB) supply model, thereby providing practical experience for the clinical application of WB in domestic trauma emergency care and informing the development of a wartime blood supply system for the military. Methods: A “10×24” WB supply model was established by formulating blood collection protocols, storage standards, and transfusion criteria. Multiple WB samples were tested under specific storage conditions to assess key indicators at different time points, including red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), and platelet counts, hemoglobin concentration, coagulation parameters (PT, APTT, TT, FIB), coagulation factor activity, thromboelastography (TEG) parameters, and electrolyte levels. Additionally, clinical data from hemorrhagic patients who met the criteria for WB transfusion and were admitted between March and July 2024 were analyzed to evaluate WB transfusion volume. Results: RBC counts and hemoglobin levels remained stable in WB stored at 4℃ for up to 10 days. However, platelet counts and coagulation function (PT, APTT) significantly declined with prolonged storage, while potassium levels increased. From March to July 2024, the model was successfully applied to 23 patients with acute hemorrhage, with a median WB transfusion volume of 543 mL. A detailed case study of a severe traumatic hemorrhagic shock patient was reported, who was successfully treated with 5.5 units of refrigerated WB combined with component blood. Conclusion: The “10×24” WB supply model demonstrated acceptable changes in critical quality parameters under strict management and a 10-day rotation cycle. This model effectively supports the treatment of acute hemorrhage and holds promise for integration into the future wartime blood supply system of the military.

Objective: To explore the correlation between Diabetes Complication Severity Index(DCSI), C-reactive protein/albumin ratio(CAR) and death in patients with diabetic foot ulcer(DFU) and to clarify their predictive value for all-cause death in DFU patients. Methods: Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 354 DFU patients who were treated in the Endocrinology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from July 2019 to December 2022. Based on survival status during follow-up, patients were divided into a survival group(n=268) and a death group(n=86). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for all-cause death in DFU patients. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were plotted to evaluate the predictive value of DCSI, CAR, and their combination for all-cause death in DFU patients. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to explore the impact of different DCSI and CAR levels on survival in DFU patients. Results: Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that older age, history of hypertension, higher Wagner classification levels, and elevated levels of CRP, Scr, FDP, DCSI score, and CAR were associated with a higher risk of death in DFU patients(P<0.05). Higher levels of HGB, HCT, ALB, or eGFR were associated with a lower risk of death. Patients receiving combined insulin and oral hypoglycemic medication had a lower risk of death compared to those receiving only insulin therapy(P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that older age, higher levels of Scr, DCSI, and CAR were independent risk factors for all-cause death in DFU patients, while higher levels of ALB and combined insulin and oral hypoglycemic therapy were protective factors. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC values for DCSI, CAR, and their combination were 0.652, 0.633, and 0.686, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed that patients with high DCSI scores(≥4.5) had a lower survival rate compared to those with lower DCSI scores(<4.5). Similarly, patients with high CAR levels(≥0.124) had a lower survival rate compared to those with lower CAR levels(<0.124). Conclusion High levels of DCSI and CAR are independent risk factors for all-cause death in DFU patients. DCSI, CAR, and their combination have predictive value for all-cause mortality in DFU patients.

Microplastics(MPs)have attracted growing attention worldwide as an increasingly prevalent environmental pollutant.In addition,chicken meat is currently the most widely consumed kind of poultry in the global market.Consumer demand for chicken is on the rise both at home and abroad.As a result,the safety of chicken raising has also received significant attention.The lungs play an essential role in the physiological activities of chickens,and they are also the most vulnerable organs.Lung injury is difficult to repair after the accumulation of contaminants,and the mortality rate is high,which brings huge economic losses to farmers.The research on the toxicity of MPs has mainly focused on the marine ecosystem,while the mechanisms of toxicity and lung damage in chickens have been poorly studied.Thus,this study explored the effects of exposure to polystyrene microplastics(PS-MPs)at various concentrations for 42 d on chicken lungs.PS-MPs could cause lung pathologies and ultrastructural abnormalities,such as endoplasmic reticulum(ER)swelling,inflammatory cell infiltration,chromatin agglutination,and plasma membrane rupture.Simultaneously,PS-MPs increased the expression of genes related to the heat shock protein family(Hsp60,Hsp70,and Hsp90),ER stress signaling(activating transcription factor 6(ATF6),ATF4,protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase(PERK),and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit α(eIF2α)),pyroptosis-related genes(NOD-,LRR-and pyrin domain-containing protein 3(NLRP3),apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain(ASC),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase 1(Caspase1),and gasdermin-D(GSDMD)),and the inflammatory signaling pathway(nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB),inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),and cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)).The above results showed that PS-MP exposure could result in lung stress,ER stress,pyroptosis,and inflammation in broilers.Our findings provide new scientific clues for further research on the mechanisms of physical health and toxicology regarding MPs.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of secukinumab in the treatment of moderate to severe the adults with plaque psoriasis.Methods:The clinical data from 183 adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis treated with secukinumab were collected.The patients received subcutaneous injections of secukinumab once a week at weeks 0,1,2,3,and 4,followed by an injection every 4 weeks,with each dose of 300 mg.The follow-up period was 52 weeks.The psoriasis area and severity index(PASI),body surface area(BSA),investigator global assessment(IGA),and dermatology life quality index(DLQI)scores of the patients with psoriasis were caculated.The clinical efficacy and safety of secukinumab in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis were evaluated,and the influencing factors were analyzed.Results:Compared with week 0,the PASI、BSA、IGA and DLQI scores of the patients were significantly decreased at weeks 4,12,24,and 52 of secukinumab treatment(P<0.05).After treated with secukinumab,the percentages of the patients achieving PASI 75,PASI 90,and PASI 100 at week 4 were 95.6%,84.2%,and 47.5%,respectively;at week 12,they were 97.3%,95.6%,and 78.7%,respectively;at week 24,they were 97.8%,96.7%,and 84.2%,respectively;and at week 52,they were 98.4%,97.8%,and 83.6%,respectively.The percentages of the patients with BSA≤1%at weeks 4,12,24,and 52 were 80.9%,94.5%,95.6%,and 94.0%,respectively.The percentages of the patients with IGA score of 0/1 at week 4,12,24,and 52 were 86.3%,97.3%,96.7%,and 95.6%,respectively.The percentages of the patients with DLQI score of 0/1 at weeks 4,12,24,and 52 were 76.6%,89.1%,92.9%,and 91.8%,respectively.At week 4 of secukinumab treatment,there were significant differences in age,body mass index(BMI),disease duration,baseline PASI score,and history of previous biologic treatment between the patients in two groups(P<0.05).At week 24 of secukinumab treatment,there were significant differences in age and BMI between the patients in two groups(P<0.05).At week 4,BMI≥25 kg·m-2,disease duration≥10 years,baseline PASI score≥10,and a history of previous biologic treatment were risk factors affecting the recovery of the patient(P<0.05).At week 24,age≥40 years was a risk factor affecting the recovery of the patient(P<0.05).During the treatment period,44 out of 183 psoriasis patients reported 49 adverse reactions,and the adverse reaction rate was 24.0%.No serious adverse events or fatal adverse reactions occurred.The adverse reactions included upper respiratory tract infections in 23 cases,eczema-like skin lesions in 10 cases,skin fungal infections in 6 cases,urticaria in 3 cases,mild liver function abnormalities in 2 cases,folliculitis in 2 cases,conjunctivitis in 2 cases,and otitis media in 1 case.Conclusion:Secukinumab treatment for the adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis is rapid-acting and has lasting efficacy.The BMI,disease duration,baseline PASI score,history of previous biologic treatment,and age are the factors influencing the clinical efficacy of secukinumab.The overall safety is good,and secukinumab may be used as a first-line treatment option for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between positive asthma prediction index (API) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin (IL-13), IL-4, β 2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2), and type I Fc ε receptor β (FcER1B) genes in asthmatic children.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 102 asthmatic children under 5 years old admitted to Zhongshan Boai Hospital and Foshan First People′s Hospital (51 cases were API positive and 51 cases were API negative) from January 2020 to August 2023. Oral and buccal mucosal exfoliated cells were collected from the children, and genomic DNA was extracted using magnetic bead method. Four gene loci (IL-13 rs20541, IL-4 rs2243250, ADRB2 rs1042713, FcER1B rs569108) were genotyped using a matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between SNP typing at these four gene loci and API positivity in asthmatic children.Results:There was a statistically significant difference in the SNP typing and allele distribution frequency of IL-13 rs20541, IL-4 rs2243250, ADRB2 rs1042713, FcER1B rs569108 between the API positive and API negative groups of wheezing children (all P<0.05). Among API positive children, the proportion of IL-13 rs20541 site was higher in GG type, the proportion of IL-4 rs2243250 site was higher in TT type, the proportion of ADRB2 rs1042713 site was higher in AG type, and the proportion of FcER1B rs569108 site was higher in AA type; The results of logistic regression analysis showed that IL-13 rs20541 GG type, IL-4 rs2243250 TT type, FcER1B rs569108 AA type were associated with the risk of API positivity in asthmatic children (all P<0.05). Conclusions:IL-13, IL-4, and FcER1B genes are risk genes for the development of API positive wheezing in children under 5 years old. SNP typing of these genes can be used to evaluate the risk of API positivity in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of artificial intelligence(AI)technique in delineating target volume for patients with lung cancer during radiotherapy.Methods:A total of 60 patients with lung cancer who received radiotherapy in Pingxiang People's Hospital from September 2021 to March 2023 were selected,and they were divided into control group and observation group by random envelope method,with 30 cases in each group.The control group outlined target volume as conventional method.The observation group adopted deep learning technique to conduct train,and then,UNet network model was output and was used to complete automatic delineation for the target volume of radiotherapy for patients.The near-term efficacy,planning target region volume,radiation dose of target volume,volume and dose of organ at risk(OAR),survival time and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results:The objective relief rate(ORR)of observation group was 70.0％(21/30)after intervention,which was higher than that[46.67％(14/30)]of control group,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=5.691,P＜0.05).The radiation doses of internal target volume(ITV)and planning target volume in observation group were lower respectively than those in control group(t=4.591,4.934,P＜0.05),and the differences of them were significant,respectively.The volume percentages(V20,V5)of the exposed radiation dose that were higher than 20 Gy and 5 Gy in normal lung tissue,the exposed mean lung dose(MLD)of bilateral lungs and the exposed dose of 1cc volume(D1cc)of bilateral lungs in observation group were all lower than those in control group,the differences were statistically significant(t=5.249,4.571,6.092,5.339,P＜0.05),respectively.There was no statistical significance in the incidence of adverse reaction between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The application of AI technique in delineating target volume of radiotherapy for lung cancer can improve ORR,which is helpful to decrease the planning target volume,D95 and conformal index,and reduce the volume and dose of OAR.It does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

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.
