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.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the common chronic complication of diabetes, which can lead to foot ulcers, gangrene, and amputation in severe cases, seriously affecting their quality of life. DPN belongs to the category of "arthralgia", "hemorrhoids" and other categories of TCM, and the main pathogenesis is the deficiency of qi and blood, yin and yang, and the obstruction of the meridians by phlegm and stasis. Clinically, DPN is more common with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Based on the theory of "qi meridian constant communication" in the Huang Di Nei Jing, this article proposed that for patients with DPN with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, the treatment should be based on the principle of "invigorating qi and activating blood circulation, dissolving stasis and arthralgia", so that the patients' qi meridian can be accessible, delay the disease progression, and provide reference for the TCM treatment of DPN.

By organizing and studying on the original works of LI Wenrong， this paper aimed to explore his theories and methods for treating liver diseases. LI Wenrong believes that the liver is easily prone to physiological disturbances， difficult to pacify， and can be compared to a “chariot” that moves horizontally and vertically， acting as a “general” for both civil and military affairs. Pathologically， liver diseases tend to spread to other organs， resulting in ever-changing pathological changes， often affecting emotional health. In terms of therapeutic methods， LI Wenrong proposes ten methods including draining fire to calm the liver， nourishing water to moisten wood， clearing metal to calm the liver， calming gallbladder and harmonizing liver， subduing yang with shell-drug， treating liver diseases by supplementing spleen， soothing the liver with sweetness， astringing the liver with sourness， relieving the liver with spiciness， and draining the liver with excess-fire. These methods have great guidance and reference value for contemporary clinical practice in traditional Chinese medicine.

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) patients can be classified into low-risk and high-risk patients based on the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO) staging and scoring system. High-risk patients have a higher risk of resistance to single-agent chemotherapy and require combination chemotherapy. Even worse, there are some high-risk patients who develop resistance to combination chemotherapy or experience recurrence after cure. These patients exhibit strong heterogeneity and pose significant challenges to subsequent treatment, thus attracting considerable attention in recent years. Therefore, this article aims to review the risk factors and treatment strategies for high-risk resistant and recurrent GTN patients, in order to provide a basis for early identification of high-risk patients and their precise treatment.

Children and adults differ significantly in physiology,biochemistry and immune function,which leads to sig-nificant differences in blood transfusion strategies between children and adults.To guide the clinical transfusion practice of pediatric patients and improve the prognosis of children,the National Health Commission organized the formulation and re-lease of the health industry standard Guideline for Pediatric Transfusion(WS/T 795-2022).This paper will briefly introduce some concepts that help understand of the Standard and the preparation process of the Standard,and explain and interpret the preparation of the"scope","general provisions"and"factors to consider"of the Standard,hoping to contribute to the understanding and implementation of the Standard.

With the continuous development of identification technologies such as mass spectrometry,omics,and antibody technology,post-translational modification(PTM)has demonstrated increasing potential in medical research.PTM as a novel chemical modification method provides new perspectives for the research on dis-eases.Succinylation as a novel modification has aroused the interest of more and more researchers.The available studies about succinylation mainly focus on a desuccinylase named sirtuin 5.This enzyme plays a key role in mod-ification and has been preliminarily explored in cardiovascular studies.This paper summarizes the influencing fac-tors and regulatory roles of succinylation and the links between succinylation and other PTMs and reviews the re-search progress of PTMs in the cardiovascular field,aiming to deepen the understanding about the role of this modification and give new insights to the research in this field.

Objective: The TCGA molecular subtype of endometrial cancer (EC) is widely applied, among which the copy-number high (CNH) subtype has the poorest prognosis. However, the heterogeneity of this subtype remains elusive. In this study, we aimed to identify heterogeneous immune subtypes in CNH EC and explore their prognostic significance. Methods: We collected 60 CNH EC cases in the TCGA database and performed unsupervised cluster analysis based on the enrichment scores of immune-related gene signatures to identify immune subtypes. We described their immune characteristics and prognoses and conducted differential gene analysis and lasso regression to identify a prognostic biomarker, GZMM. For experimental validation, we performed immunohistochemical staining of GZMM in 39 p53-positive EC surgical samples. Results: We defined two immune subtypes, immune-hot (IH) and immune-cold (IC), which differed in immune cell infiltration, cytokine and chemokine expression and prognosis. The IH subtype has significantly stronger immune activation than the IC subtype, showing a significant infiltration of immune effector cells and high expression of relevant chemokines, with better prognosis. Moreover, the immunohistochemical staining of GZMM in a cohort of 39 p53-positive EC surgical samples confirmed GZMM as a unique prognostic biomarker, with high expression in both tumor cells and lymphocytes predicting a better prognosis. Conclusion Our study revealed heterogeneous immune subtypes in CNH EC and identified GZMM as a prognostic biomarker. The stratified classification strategy combining molecular and immune subtypes provides valuable insights for future clinical practice.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase and its rearrangements occur in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), resulting in signal dysregulation in kinase domain. As a new generation of potent ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), Brigatinib was approved in China in March 2022 as a treatment for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with ALK rearrangement positive. Brigatinib significantly improved the survival, cranial efficacy and quality of life compared to Crizotinib in clinical trials. Brigatinib is generally well tolerated. Brigatinib has been one of the preferred treatments and an addition of options in ALK-rearranged NSCLC. Pulmonary toxicity is one of the adverse effects observed during the treatment of TKIs and deserves the intense attention of clinicians, despite of its low incidence rate. Pulmonary toxicity reported during the treatment of Brigatinib has shown distinct clinical presentations, such as early-onset (median time to onset, 2 days) and rapid tolerance and reversibility of symptoms. In view of this, the concept of early-onset pulmonary events (EOPEs) was proposed and established during the submission for regulatory review and approval. We focused on clinical characteristics, potential mechanism of etiology, and management strategies of EOPEs to provide clinicians evidence for better clinical decision support.
