Acute Gelsemium poisoning is a systemic disease primarily affecting the central nervous system and respiratory symptoms caused by the ingestion of a substantial amount of Gelsemium within a short period. It manifests as sudden onset and rapid progression, primarily caused by accidental ingestion due to misidentification, and posing significant health risks. The compilation of the Technical Plan for Emergency Health Response to Acute Gelsemium Poisoning describes in detail the specialized practice and technical requirements in the process of handling acute Gelsemium poisoning, including accident investigation and management, laboratory testing and identification, in-hospital treatment, and health monitoring. The guidelines clarify key procedures and requirements such as personal protection, investigation elements, etiology determination, medical rescue, and health education. The key to acute Gelsemium poisoning investigation lies in promptly identifying the toxin through exposure history, clinical manifestations, and sample testing. Because there is no specific antidote for Gelsemium poisoning, immediate removal from exposure, rapid elimination of the toxin, and respiratory monitoring are critical on-site rescue measures. Visual identification of food or herbal materials, followed by laboratory testing to determine Gelsemium alkaloids in samples is a rapid effective screening method. These guidelines offer a scientific, objective, and practical framework to support effective emergency responses to acute Gelsemium poisoning incidences.

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.

Abstract：Objective To improve the replication level of varicella⁃zoster virus（VZV）in human diploid cell line MRC⁃5 and increase the yield of VZV vaccine by reducing the expression of interferon（IFN）related genes via optimizing the cell line MRC⁃5. Methods Interferon receptor 1（IFNAR1）silenced MRC⁃5 cell line（MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃）was constructed by CRISPR／Cas9 gene editing technology，which was determined for the relative expression of IFNAR1 mRNA，and for those of mRNA of IFN related genes IFNβ and OAS1 after VZV infection by qRT⁃PCR to evaluate the effect of gene silencing. Gene mutation sequences were further identified by sequencing of the silenced sites. The replication of VZV in MRC⁃5 and MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃ cell lines was compared 168 h after VZV infection by using qRT⁃PCR and plaque formation unit（PFU）assay， to evaluate the effect of MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃cell line on VZV replication. Results The growth status of MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃ cell line wasconsistent with that of MRC ⁃ 5 cells，and the relative expression of IFNAR1 mRNA decreased by 73%；The relative expressions of IFNβ and OAS1 mRNA in MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃ cell line were 61% and 90% lower than those in MRC⁃ 5 cells respectively after VZV infection；In addition，168 h after VZV infection，the level of DNA replication and the titer of VZV increased by 5. 7 folds and 4 folds respectively. Conclusion The successful establishment of MRC⁃5IFNAR1⁃ cell line may be a potential scheme to increase the yield of vaccines based on human diploid cells，and provided a reference for expanding production of VZV vaccine.

Objective:To explore the effect of core stability training on rehabilitation of patients after lumbar fusion.Methods:From June 2018 to December 2019, 90 patients with lumbar fusion admitted to Wuxi Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were divided into control group and training group according to the method of random number table, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine postoperative rehabilitation nursing, while the training group carried out postoperative core stability training nursing. The rehabilitation effects of the two groups were observed.Results:The scores of Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) in the training group were lower than those in the control group at 2, 4, 12 and 24 weeks postoperatively, and the difference were statistical ( P<0.05) . The scores of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in the training group 12 and 24 weeks after operation were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The core stability training nursing is helpful to improve the functional recovery after lumbar fusion, reduce the degree of postoperative pain, and then increase the rehabilitation effect of patients.

Objectives:To investigate the clinical and genetic features of young Chinese patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) .Methods:In this cross-sectional study, anonymous questionnaires were distributed to patients with MPN patients nationwide. The respondents were divided into 3 groups based on their age at diagnosis: young (≤40 years) , middle-aged (41-60 years) , and elderly (>60 years) . We compared the clinical and genetic characteristics of three groups of MPN patients.Results:1727 assessable questionnaires were collected. There were 453 (26.2%) young respondents with MPNs, including 274 with essential thrombocythemia (ET) , 80 with polycythemia vera (PV) , and 99 with myelofibrosis. Among the young group, 178 (39.3%) were male, and the median age was 31 (18-40) years. In comparison to middle-aged and elderly respondents, young respondents with MPN were more likely to present with a higher proportion of unmarried status (all P<0.001) , a higher education level (all P<0.001) , less comorbidity (ies) , fewer medications (all P<0.001) , and low-risk stratification (all P<0.001) . Younger respondents experienced headache (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.007; MF, P=0.001) at diagnosis, had splenomegaly at diagnosis (PV, P<0.001) , and survey (ET, P=0.052; PV, P=0.063) . Younger respondents had fewer thrombotic events at diagnosis (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.011) and during the survey (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.003) . JAK2 mutations were found in fewer young people (ET, P<0.001; PV, P<0.001; MF, P=0.013) ; however, CALR mutations were found in more young people (ET, P<0.001; MF, P=0.015) . Furthermore, mutations in non-driver genes (ET, P=0.042; PV, P=0.043; MF, P=0.004) and high-molecular risk mutations (ET, P=0.024; PV, P=0.023; MF, P=0.001) were found in fewer young respondents. Conclusion:Compared with middle-aged and elderly patients, young patients with MPN had unique clinical and genetic characteristics.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) using a conditioning regimen based on total body irradiation (TBI) and rabbit anti-human thymocyte globulin (rATG) in the management of chemotherapy-resistant advanced peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) .Methods:Clinical data of 11 patients with chemotherapy-resistant advanced PTCL who underwent haplo-HSCT with a TBI+rATG-based conditioning regimen at the Department of Hematology, Shanghai Liquan Hospital and Shanghai Zhaxin Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, from September 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:①Among the 11 patients (six males and five females), with a median age of 40 years (range: 22-58 years), there were six cases of PTCL, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), three cases of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), one case of large-cell transformation of mycosis fungoides (MF-LCT), and one case of T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL). According to the Lugano staging system, all patients were in stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ, and eight patients had B symptoms. Before transplantation, the median number of prior lines of chemotherapy was 4 (range: 2-10), and all patients had progressive disease (PD). The median time from diagnosis to transplantation was 17 months (range: 6-36 months). ②The conditioning regimen consisted of a TBI dose of 10 Gy, administered at 2 Gy on day -8 and 4 Gy from day -7 to day -6, rATG was administered at a daily dose of 2.5 mg/kg from day -5 to day -2. Etoposide (VP-16) was given at a dose of 15 mg/kg/d from day -5 to day -4, while cyclophosphamide (CTX) was administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg/d from day -3 to day -2. In patients with central nervous system involvement, etoposide and cyclophosphamide were replaced with thiotepa (TT) at a dose of 5 mg/kg/d from day -5 to day -4. Additionally, cytarabine (Ara-C) was added at a dose of 2.0 g/m 2 twice a day from day -3 to day -2 into the conditioning. ③Successful engraftment was achieved in all patients, with a median time to neutrophil engraftment of 14.5 d (range: 11-16 d) and a median time to platelet engraftment of 13 days (range: 8-18 days). Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) occurred in one patient (grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ), and another patient experienced grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD. Among the eight survivors, four developed chronic GVHD (cGVHD). ④Post-transplantation, nine patients achieved complete response (CR). ⑤Hematopoietic suppression occurred in all patients after conditioning, with three experiencing diarrhea, four developing mucositis, three exhibiting elevated transaminase/bilirubin levels, and seven developing infectious complications. These non-hematologic adverse events were effectively managed. ⑥At one year post-transplantation, the non-relapse mortality (NRM) was (22.5±14.0) %, the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was (20.2±12.7) %, and overall survival (OS) rate was (72.7±13.4) %, and disease-free survival (DFS) rate was (63.6±14.5) % . Conclusion:TBI+rATG-based conditioning regimen for haplo-HSCT is an effective and safe treatment approach for patients with chemotherapy-resistant advanced PTCL.

OBJECTIVES: To improve the understanding of the clinical phenotypes and genetic characteristics of nephronophthisis (NPHP) and related syndromes in children. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data of eight children with NPHP and related syndromes who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Pediatrics of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, from January 2018 to November 2022. The clinical characteristics and genetic testing results were analyzed. RESULTS: Among these eight children, there were five boys and three girls, with an age of onset ranging from 15 months to 12 years. All 8 children exhibited different degrees of renal function abnormalities when they attended the hospital. Among the eight children, two had the initial symptom of delayed development, two had the initial symptom of anemia, and two were found to have abnormal renal function during physical examination. The extrarenal manifestations included cardiovascular abnormalities in two children, skeletal dysplasia in two children, liver dysfunction in one child, retinitis pigmentosa in one child, and visceral translocation in one child. All eight children had renal structural changes on ultrasound, and four children had mild to moderate proteinuria based on routine urine test. Of all eight children, five had NPHP1 gene mutations and one each had a gene mutation in the NPHP3, IFT140, and TTC21B genes, and four new mutation sites were discovered. CONCLUSIONS Children with NPHP and related syndromes often have the initial symptom of delayed development or anemia, and some children also have extrarenal manifestations. NPHP and related syndromes should be considered for children with unexplained renal dysfunction, and high-throughput sequencing may help to make a confirmed diagnosis.

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.
