OBJECTIVE:
Emerging evidence suggests that exposure to ultrafine particulate matter (UPM, aerodynamic diameter < 0.1 µm) is associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Previous studies have found that Shenlian (SL) extract possesses anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties and has a promising protective effect at all stages of the atherosclerotic disease process. In this study, we aimed to investigated whether SL improves UPM-aggravated myocardial ischemic injury by inhibiting inflammation and cell apoptosis.
METHODS:
We established a mouse model of MI+UPM. Echocardiographic measurement, measurement of myocardialinfarct size, biochemical analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), histopathological analysis, Transferase dUTP Nick End Labeling (TUNEL), Western blotting (WB), Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and so on were used to explore the anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects of SL in vivo and in vitro.
RESULTS:
SL treatment can attenuate UPM-induced cardiac dysfunction by improving left ventricular ejection fraction, fractional shortening, and decreasing cardiac infarction area. SL significantly reduced the levels of myocardial enzymes and attenuated UPM-induced morphological alterations. Moreover, SL significantly reduced expression levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1. UPM further increased the infiltration of macrophages in myocardial tissue, whereas SL intervention reversed this phenomenon. UPM also triggered myocardial apoptosis, which was markedly attenuated by SL treatment. The results of in vitro experiments revealed that SL prevented cell damage caused by exposure to UPM combined with hypoxia by reducing the expression of the inflammatory factor NF-κB and inhibiting apoptosis in H9c2 cells.
CONCLUSION
Overall, both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that SL attenuated UPM-aggravated myocardial ischemic injury by inhibiting inflammation and cell apoptosis. The mechanisms were related to the downregulation of macrophages infiltrating heart tissues.

Objective:To investigate the impact of postoperative complications on adverse outcomes following curative-intent resection for gallbladder cancer (GBC).Methods:The multi-center real-world study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 629 patients with GBC, who were admitted to 14 medical centers including The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, from April 2020 to April 2024 were collected. There were 225 males and 404 females, aged (64±10)years. Patients underwent open curative-intent resection for GBC. Observation indicators: (1)surgery, postoperative complica-tions and adverse outcomes; (2) analysis of risk factors affecting postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and population attributable fraction (PAF). Missing data in predictor variables were addressed using multiple imputation with chained equations, while cases with missing outcome variables were addressed using the "multiple imputation then deletion (MID)" strategy. The severity of multicollinearity among independent variables was assessed using the variance inflation factor (VIF) test. Multivariable possion regression models with log link and robust error variance were construc-ted incorporating restricted cubic splines (3 knots) to address nonlinear relationships in continuous variables, calculating adjusted relative risk ( RR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval ( CI). Adjusted PAF was calculated for each imputed dataset using the AF package of R software, with subsequent pooling performed according to Rubin's rules. Results:(1) Surgery, postoperative complications and adverse outcomes. All 629 patients underwent curative-intent resection for GBC, of which 143 cases had postoperative complications, including 68 cases of intra-abdominal ascites, 39 cases of pulmonary infection, 21 cases of bile leakage, 12 cases of intra-abdominal hemorrhage, 11 cases of liver failure, 10 cases of pan-creatic fistula, 10 cases of wound infection, 10 cases of gastroparesis, 7 cases of cholangitis, 7 cases of sepsis. The same patient could have more than one kind of complication. Of 629 patients, there were 19 cases of postoperative 90-day death and 11 cases of missing data, 42 cases with post-operative 90-day reoperation and 7 cases with missing data, 44 cases with postoperative 90-day readmission and 3 cases with missing data, 155 cases with prolonged postoperative hospital stay and 3 cases with missing data. (2) Analysis of risk factors affecting the postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and PAF. Results of multivariate analysis showed that pulmonary infection and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day mortality ( RR=3.74, 12.15, 95% CI as 1.18-11.83, 1.98-74.48, P<0.05). Pulmonary infection demons-trated the highest PAF as 4.61% (95% CI as 3.94%-5.28%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, and intra-abdominal hemorrhage were independent risk factors for post-operative 90-day reoperation ( RR=4.80, 3.62, 3.46, 4.99, 95% CI as 2.49-9.26, 1.42-9.21, 1.34-8.92, 1.55-16.06, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 8.65% (95% CI as 8.22%-9.08%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, bile leakage, and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day readmission ( RR=6.20, 3.33, 14.33, 95% CI as 3.21-11.95, 1.33-8.35, 3.72-55.28, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 9.11% (95% CI as 8.85%-9.37%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, liver failure, and wound infection were independent risk factors for prolonged postoperative hospital stay ( RR=2.29, 2.21, 2.26, 2.14, 3.35, 95% CI as 1.63-3.23, 1.41-3.46, 1.32-3.86, 1.11-4.13, 1.70-6.60, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 6.03% (95% CI as 5.71%-6.35%, P<0.05). Conclusion:Pulmonary infection is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day mortality after curative-intent resection for GBC, while intra-abdominal ascites is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day reoperation, postoperative 90-day readmission, and prolonged postoperative hospital stay.

Objective:To investigate the influencing of preoperative total bilirubin (TBil) on perioperative complications of hepatolithiasis receiving liver resection.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 300 patients with hepatolithiasis who were admitted to 2 medical centers from January 2010 to January 2022 were collected. There were 115 males and 185 females, aged (54±13)years. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and the independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and the chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Variables with P<0.10 in the univariate analysis were included into the multivariate analysis. Univariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model,and multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic stepwise regression model with backward Wald method. Continuous variables were converted into categorical variables based on commonly reported cutoff values when conducting Logistic regression analysis. Results:(1) Comparison of clinical data of patients with different preoperative TBil. Of 300 patients with hepatolithiasis, there were 252 cases with low level of preoperative TBil as 14.4(11.1,19.7)μmol/L, and there were 48 cases with high level of preoperative TBil as 44.0(31.3,59.8)μmol/L. Of the pati-ents with low level of preoperative TBil, neutrophils percentage was 62%±10%, cases with intra-operative blood transfusion was 29, and cases undergoing anatomical liver resection was 166. Of the patients with high level of preoperative TBil, neutrophils percentage was 70%±11%, cases with intraoperative blood transfusion was 22, and cases undergoing anatomical liver resection was 15. There were significant differences in cases classified as>grade 2 of ASA classification, neutrophils percentage, cases with intraoperative blood transfusion and cases undergoing anatomical liver resection between patients with low and high level of preoperative TBil ( t=5.182, χ2=33.669, 18.775, P<0.05). (2) Comparison of perioperative complications of patients with different preoperative TBil. Of the 252 patients with low level of TBil, there were 151 cases with complications including 35 cases of serious complications, there was 1 case with postoperative liver failure, the duration of postoperative hospital stay was 13.0(10.0,16.0)days. Of the 48 patients with high level of TBil, there were 32 cases with complications including 17 cases of serious complications, there were 6 cases with postoperative liver failure, the duration of postoperative hospital stay was 14.0(10.0,18.8)days. There were significant differences in cases with serious complications and cases with postoperative liver failure between patients with low and high level of preoperative TBil ( χ2=13.041, 20.879, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors influencing postoperative serious complications in patients undergoing liver resection. Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, body mass index (BMI), preoperative TBil and volume of intraoperative blood loss were independent factors influencing postoperative serious complications in patients undergoing liver resection for hepatolithiasis ( odds ratio=3.852, 2.358, 2.935, 5.135, 95% confidence interval as 1.478?9.979, 1.110?5.009, 1.398?6.158, 2.088?12.626, P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with high level of preoperative TBil have a significantly increased risk of postoperative serious complications and liver failure who receive liver resection for hepatolithiasis. Age, preoperative BMI, TBil and volume of intraoperative blood loss are independent factors influencing postoperative serious complications in patients undergoing liver resection for hepatolithiasis.

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB) is a malignant pediatric tumor requiring new therapies. Accumulating evidence has confirmed that micro RNAs play critical roles in NB metastasis. Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is capable of inhibiting the growth of NB cells. The primary objective of the current investigation was to characterize a newly discovered microRNA, miR-32-5p, in terms of the functional role, underlying mechanism of action, and potential synergistic therapeutic impact in the context of NB metastasis. Materials and methods: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting were employed to assess the expression levels of miR-32-5p and its target, vacuolar protein sorting 4B (VPS4B). Furthermore, Transwell assay was utilized to evaluate in vitro cell migration and invasion, whereas a metastasis xenograft model was established in nude mice via caudal vein injections. Results: Gene Expression Omnibus database and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that miR-32-5p was downregulated in human NB samples and NB cell lines, in comparison with the normal tissue and cell lines. Inhibiting miR-32-5p induced the migration and invasion of NB cells, whereas overexpression of miR-32-5p prevented the migration and invasion in NB cell lines. Furthermore, VPS4B was identified as the direct target of miR-32-5p and the miR-32-5p reduction associated with NB metastasis upregulated the expression of VPS4B. Conversely, overexpression of VPS4B reversed the suppressive effects ofmiR-32-5p onNB cells. Moreover, miR-32-5p increased the sensitivity to DHA both in NB cells and in the metastasis xenograft model of nude mice. Conclusions: The downregulation of miR-32-5p in NB regulates NB metastasis by targeting VPS4B. Moreover, miR-32-5b can improve the sensitivity of DHA in the xenograft mouse model.

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.
