BACKGROUND:Bone relies on the close connection between blood vessels and bone cells to maintain its integrity.Bones are in a physiologically hypoxic environment.Therefore,the study of angiogenesis and osteogenesis in hypoxic environment is closer to the microenvironment in vivo. OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of Wenshen Tongluo Zhitong(WSTLZT)formula on H-type bone microvascular endothelial cell/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell co-culture system in hypoxia environment and its related mechanism. METHODS:Enzyme digestion method and flow sorting technique were used to isolate and identify H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells.Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and obtained by bone marrow adhesion method.H-type bone microvascular endothelial cell/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell hypoxic co-culture system was established using Transwell chamber and anoxic culture workstation.WSTLZT formula powder was used to intervene in each group at a mass concentration of 50 and 100 μg/mL.The angiogenic function of H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells in the co-culture system was evaluated by scratch migration test and tube formation test.The osteogenic differentiation ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the co-cultured system was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining.The protein and mRNA expression changes of PDGF/PI3K/AKT signal axis related molecules in H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells in the co-cultured system were detected by Western Blotting and q-PCR,respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the normal oxygen group,the scratch mobility and new blood vessel length of H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells were significantly higher(P<0.05);the osteogenic differentiation capacity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was higher(P<0.05);the expression of PDGF/PI3K/AKT axis-related molecular protein and mRNA increased(P<0.05)in the hypoxia group.(2)Compared with the hypoxia group,scratch mobility and new blood vessel length were significantly increased in the H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells(P<0.05);bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells had stronger osteogenic function(P<0.05);the expression of PDGF/PI3K/AKT axis-related molecular proteins and mRNA further increased(P<0.05)after treatment with different dose concentrations of WSTLZT formula.These findings conclude that H-type angiogenesis and osteogenesis under hypoxia may be related to the PDGF/PI3K/AKT signaling axis,and WSTLZT formula may promote H-type vasculo-dependent bone formation by activating the PDGF/PI3K/AKT signaling axis,thereby preventing and treating osteoporosis.

【Objective】 To compare the effects of 3 rehydration methods before blood donation on the prevention of on-site and delayed blood donation-related vasovagal response (VVR) . 【Methods】 From January to June 2021, 6 250 whole blood donors in 6 fixed blood donation sites signed informed consent and were divided into 198 clusters according to donor sites and dates, then they were randomly assigned to receive either oral rehydration salts (ORS), sugar water, or water group, and each drank 500 mL of ORS, sugar water or water within 20 minutes before blood donation. The researchers recorded the actual intervention accepted on site, and recorded the immediate VVR and related information. At rest after blood donation, donors submitted an electronic questionnaire containing socio-demographic information. At 48 hours after blood donation, the researchers called back every donor to record delayed VVR and related information. Logistic regression based on intention to treat (ITT) was used to analyze the difference of the incidence of VVR among the three groups, and the average treatment effect on treated (ATT) was calculated. PASS 2021was used to estimate the sample size and R (4.2.0) for statistical analysis. 【Results】 The cumulative incidence of blood donation-related VVR was 2.67% (2.29%-3.11%) among street whole blood donors under the 3 rehydration methods, in which, the incidence of immediate and delayed VVR was 1.02% (0.79%-1.31%) and 1.65% (1.36%-2.01%) respectively. ITT analysis found that ORS were more effective than water in reducing the incidence of delayed VVR【OR=0.59,95% CI[0.37,0.94]】.There was no significant difference in the incidence of immediate VVR between any two groups (P > 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the incidence of delayed VVR in the sugar water group compared with the water group (P > 0.05). There was a difference of -0.013 (【95% CI[-0.022, -0.004]】or -0.008【95% CI[-0.017, -0.000]】in the incidence of delayed VVR in the ORS group compared with water group or sugar water group, the difference was significant (P<0.05). The cumulative VVR of the three groups showed similar results to the delayed VVR. 【Conclusion】 Drinking ORS before blood donation is the most effective rehydration method to prevent delayed VVR. The next step is to establish the predictive model of delayed VVR to screen the susceptible population and provide them with ORS before blood donation, while other population can choose any liquid they like, thus achieving personalized blood donation-related VVR prevention and control.

【Objective】 To explore the model of "One Core, Multiple Elements" emergency blood donation volunteer team (referred to as the Model) . 【Methods】 The Nanjing City Voluntary Blood Donation Joint Meeting serves as the core, with diverse entities including party committees, government departments, district governments, social organizations, enterprises, blood donors, etc. Following the principles of "emergency response in emergencies, wartime readiness, combining regular and wartime efforts," and adhering to the framework of the Model, the emergency blood donation volunteer team system in Nanjing was constructed. 【Results】 1) After the construction of the Model (2018—2022), the total number of emergency blood donation volunteers in Nanjing City increased by 191% compared to the pre-construction period (2013—2017), with an average annual blood donation of 20 929, showing significant differences (P<0.05). 2) After the construction of the Model, the number of emergency blood donation during the winter and summer increased by 206% and 185%, respectively, compared to the pre-construction period, demonstrating significant differences (P< 0.05) .3) Prior to the construction of the Model, Nanjing lacked a relatively stable emergency volunteer team. After the construction, Nanjing established a total of 5 relatively stable volunteer teams, with the district-level government and township personnel accounting for the highest proportion (52.96%), followed by medical personnel (23.95%), enterprise team (11.10%), State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission team (7%), and Nanjing municipal government team (4.98%). 4) Following the Model, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Nanjing successfully initiated two Level Ⅱ blood emergency responses, with emergency blood donations reaching 23 041. 【Conclusion】 The Model can effectively ensure the blood supply in Nanjing region during emergencies.

Objective:To analyze the levels of serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1),soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(sVCAM-1),and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity in the patients with maintenance hemodialysis(MHD),and to discuss their relationships with coronary artery calcification(CAC).Methods:The clinical materials from 102 MHD patients(MHD group)were retrospectively analyzed.Additionally,74 volunteers underwent routine health examination at the same time(health examination group)were selected.The CAC scores(CACs)of the patients in MHD group were detected by multi-slice computed tomography(MSCT),and the patients were categorized into non-calcification group,mild calcification group,moderate calcification group,and severe calcification group.The general data and serum levels of sICAM-1,sVCAM-1,and SOD activities of the subjects in two groups were compared.The levels of calcium(Ca),phosphorus(P),parathyroid hormone(PTH),sICAM-1,sVCAM-1,and SOD activities in serum of the patients with different degrees of calcification were analyzed.Pearson's correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations between the levels of sICAM-1,sVCAM-1,and SOD activity in serum of the MHD patients and CACs.Results:Compared with health examination group,the levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in serum of the patients in MHD group were significantly increased(P<0.01),and the SOD activity was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with non-calcification group,the levels of PTH,sICAM-1,and sVCAM-1 in serum of the MHD patients in mild,moderate,and severe calcification groups were significantly increased(P<0.05),and the SOD activities were significantly decreased(P<0.05);the levels of P in serum of the MHD patients in moderate and severe calcification groups were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with mild calcification group,the levels of P,PTH,sICAM-1,and sVCAM-1 in serum of the MHD patients in moderate and severe calcification groups were significantly increased(P<0.05),and the SOD activities significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with moderate calcification group,the levels of sICAM-1,sVCAM-1,and P in serum of the MHD patients in severe calcification group were significantly increased(P<0.05),and the SOD activity was significantly decreased(P<0.05).The SOD activity in serum of the MHD patients was negatively correlated with CACs(r=-0.484,P<0.01),while the levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were positively correlated with CACs(r=0.441,P<0.01;r=0.561,P<0.01).Conclusion:The levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 and activity of SOD in serum of the MHD patients are abnormal.With the decreasing of the SOD activity and increasing of the levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1,the degree of CAC in the MHD patients is aggravated.

Objective To analyze three-dimensional(3D)radiographic characterizations of bone island(BI)in jaw using cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT).Methods CBCT data from four thousand patients were selected,reconstructed and analyzed using NNT 10.0 software.The sagittal,coronal and axial planes were used to analyze the 3D radiographic characteristics of BIs,including the localization,shape,density,boundary,the relationship between BIs and tooth and bone cortex,diameter and anatomical structures and complications involved.Their relationship with gender were analyzed.Results A total of 803 people had BIs,with the prevalence rate of 20.08%,including 338 males with 389 BIs and 465 females with 526 BIs.Both males and females had a dominant BI,and the ratio between male and female was 1∶1.38,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The BIs of both male and female mostly occurred in the mandibular premolars and molars area,and appeared irregular in shape,dense and contact with lingual bone cortex.Mostly BIs were apical type and with unclear boundary.The mean maximum diameter of mesial/distal direction was greater than buccal/lingual direction(P＜0.05).The most commonly involved anatomy structure was the inferior alveolar neural canal,cortical infil-tration and mental foramen.Conclusion There are no significant differences between males and females in the three-dimensional image characteristics of BIs in Chinese populations.CBCT can accurately and comprehensively analyze the 3D radiographic characteris-tics of BI and its relationship with the surrounding teeth and bone.

Apart from individual genetic background, unhealthy lifestyle and diet, etc., nutrition also plays an important role in the occurrence and progression of gastrointestinal tumors. Although some patients with gastrointestinal tumors can be satisfied with the traditional nutritional support, it is apparently inadequate for the systemic management of all patients. Precision nutrition support, also known as personalized nutrition support, refers to safe and efficient individualized nutrition intervention based on the investigation of individual genetic background, life characteristics, metabolic indicators, intestinal microbial characteristics, and physiological status factors through big data analysis for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. This review focuses on the relationship between nutrition and gastrointestinal tumors and discusses the progress of precision nutrition support therapy in the gastrointestinal tumors. Based on this, we hope to achieve effective personalized intervention protocols, and improve the clinical outcome and the overall oncology care of gastrointestinal tumors.

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 investigate the clinical value of deep learning model based on contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) video in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant liver tumors.Methods:Between May 2010 and June 2022, 1 213 patients who underwent CEUS examination for liver masses in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were retrospectively collected, and the enrolled patients were divided into training and independent test cohorts with December 31, 2021 as the time cut-off. In the training cohort, the TimeSformer algorithm was used as the infrastructure, and multiple fixed-time segments were obtained from CEUS arterial videos by using the sliding window of the video, and the classification results of the entire video were obtained after fusing the features of multiple segments, so as to build a deep learning model based on CEUS videos. In the independent test cohort, ROC curves were used to verify the validity of the model and compared with three radiologists with different CEUS experience (R1, R2, and R3, with 3, 6, and 10 years of CEUS experience, respectively).Results:A total of 1 213 patients with liver masses were included in the study, including 1 066 patients in the training cohort (426 cases of malignancy) and 147 patients in the independent test cohort (50 cases of malignancy). The area under curve (AUC)value of deep learning model was 0.93±0.01 in the training cohort and 0.89±0.01 in the independent test cohort, and the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were 80.42%, 74.19%, 92.00%, 94.52% and 65.71%, respectively. Among the three radiologists, R1 had the lowest diagnostic performance, with accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of 67.83%, 51.61%, 98.00%, 97.96% and 52.13%, respectively, while the above indicators of R3 were 82.52%, 76.36%, 94.00%, 95.95% and 68.12%, respectively. McNemar′s test showed that the difference between R1 and the deep learning model was statistically significant ( P<0.001), while the differences between R2 and R3 and the deep learning model were not statistically significant ( P=0.720, 0.868). In addition, the analysis time of the model for a single case was (340.24±16.32)ms, while the average analysis time of radiologists was 62.9 s. Conclusions:The deep learning model based on CEUS can better identify benign and malignant liver masses, and may reach the diagnostic level of experienced radiologists.
