Neonatal sepsis is a global health problem that seriously affects the body health and life safety of newborns. It has a higher incidence in preterm infants,especially for early-onset sepsis (EOS) within 72 hours of birth. The diagnosis of neonatal EOS requires a series of examinations,and early and accurate diagnosis can improve clinical outcomes and reduce antibiotic overuse in a timely manner. At present,the commonly used biomarkers and traditional blood culture methods for EOS diagnosis have certain shortcomings,so it is urgent to find new molecular diagnostic methods. This article summarizes and compares the early and novel diagnostic methods of neonatal EOS,in order to provide a reference for clinical practice.

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.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate changes of myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD2) in inflammation-induced pain and acupuncture-mediated analgesia. METHODS: Mice were randomly divided into three groups by a random number table method: saline group (n=16), complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) group (n=24) and CFA+electroacupuncture (EA) group (n=26). Inflammation-induced pain was modelled by injecting CFA to the plantar surface of the hind paw of mice and EA was applied to bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) to alleviate pain. Only mice in the CFA+EA group received EA treatment (30 min/d for 2 weeks) 24 h after modelling. Mice in the saline and CFA groups received sham EA. von-Frey test and Hargreaves test were used to assess the pain threshold. Brain and spinal tissues were collected for immunofluorescence staining or Western blotting to quantify changes of MD2 expression. RESULTS: CFA successfully induced plantar pain and EA significantly alleviated pain 3 days after modelling (P<0.01). Compared with the CFA group, the number of MD2⁺/c-fos⁺ neurons was significantly increased in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord 7 and 14 days after EA, especially in laminae I - II_o (P<0.01). The proportion of double positive cells to the number of c-fos positive cells and the mean fluorescence intensity of MD2 neurons were also significantly increased in laminae I - II_o (P<0.01). Western blotting showed that the level of MD2 was significantly decreased by EA only in the hippocampus on day 7 and 14 (both P<0.01) and no significant changes were observed in the cortex, thalamus, cerebellum, or the brainstem (P<0.05). Fluorescence staining showed significant decrease in the level of MD2 in periagueductal gray (PAG) and locus coeruleus (LC) after CFA injection on day 7 (P<0.01 for PAG, P<0.05 for LC) and EA significantly reversed this decrease (P<0.01 for PAG, P<0.05 for LC). CONCLUSION The unique changes of MD2 suggest that EA may exert the analgesic effect through modulating neuronal activities of the superficial laminae of the spinal cord and certain regions of the brain.

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.

AIM To explore the ameliorative effects of Ziyin Mingmu Pills on mouse retinitis pigmentosa(RP)and the possible mechanism.METHODS The RP transgenic mice(rd10)were randomly divided into the model group,the Leding group(0.15 g/kg)and the low and high dose Ziyin Mingmu Pills groups(4.50,9.00 g/kg),in contrast to the C57BL/6 mice of the normal group,with 12 mice in each group.The mice had their retinal pathological changes detected by HE staining;their visual function detected by electroretinogram(ERG);their fundus conditions and retinal thickness detected by optical coherence tomography(OCT);their retinal blood perfusion detected by laser speckle blood flow technique;their mRNA expressions of Shh,Ptc,Smo,Gli1,N-myc and Cyclin mRNA detected by digital PCR;and their protein expressions of Shh,Ptc,Smo,Gli1,N-myc and Cyclin detected by immunofluorescence staining.RESULTS Compared with the normal group,the model group displayed pathological changes in the fundus and retina and decreased amplitudes of ERG a wave and b wave(P＜0.01);decreased retinal thickness(P＜0.01);decreased retinal blood perfusion(P＜0.01);and decreased retinal expressions of Shh,Ptc,Smo,Gli1,N-myc,Cyclin mRNA and protein(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the groups intervened with Ziyin Mingmu Pills or Leding shared improved pathological changes in the fundus and retina tissue,and increased retinal thickness(P＜0.01);increased retinal blood flow(P＜0.01);increased amplitudes of ERG a wave and b wave(P＜0.01);and increased retinal Shh,Ptc,Smo,Gli1,N-myc and Cyclin mRNA and protein expressions(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Ziyin Mingmu Pills can improve the fundus pathological changes and visual function to delay RP in mice because of their efficacy in ameliorating retinal thickness and blood flow possibly by activating Shh signaling pathway.

For the treatment of atrial fibrillation,Professor WU Wei innovatively put forward the theory of heart-blood-vessels trinity and the theory of stasis-toxin causing palpitation.It is believed that atrial fibrillation is caused by stasis and toxin,and affects the heart,blood and vessels.The core pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation is due to qi stagnation,blood stasis and toxin.The treatment for atrial fibrillation should be closely based on the pathogenesis,the therapeutic principles of treating from the perspective of stasis and together by removing toxin gradually is advocated.And the therapy of regulating qi,activating blood and removing stasis is also the way to remove toxin.The medication is based on the modified Taoren Honghua Decoction,which is mainly composed of Persicae Semen,Carthami Flos,Chuanxiong Rhizoma,Corydalis Rhizoma,Rehmanniae Radix,Paeoniae Radix Rubra,Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Jujubae Fructus,Puerariae Lobatae Radix,Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma,Ostreae Concha,Poria,and Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma.According to the characteristics of Lingnan climate and atrial fibrillation mostly being easy to affect the emotions,the pungent drugs in the prescription are usually removed,and the specific herbal pair of Puerariae Lobatae Radix-Nardostachyos Radix et Rhizoma is added to remove toxin according to the differentiation of disease.Moreover,for the treatment of atrial fibrillation,Professor WU Wei also adopts traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)external treatment such as foot bath,acupuncture and moxibustion,and physical-breathing exercise as well as health-care methods for comprehensive regulation,relieving the toxin and restoring the original qi.During the treatment atrial fibrillation,Professor WU Wei follows the principle of precise intervention and comprehensive regulation with Chinese medicine,so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating symptoms,restoring sinus rhythm and improving physical constitution.The thoughts of Professor WU Wei for the syndrome differentiation and treatment of atrial fibrillation will provide reference for the treatment of atrial fibrillation with TCM.
