Threatened abortion is a common disease of obstetrics and gynecology and one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in TCM obstetrics and gynecology， Western medicine obstetrics and gynecology， and pharmacology to deeply discuss the advantages of TCM and integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment as well as the medication plans for threatened abortion. After discussion， the experts concluded that chromosome， endocrine， and immune abnormalities were the key factors for the occurrence of threatened abortion， and the Qi and blood disorders in thoroughfare and conception vessels were the core pathogenesis. In the treatment of threatened abortion， TCM has advantages in preventing miscarriages， alleviating clinical symptoms and TCM syndromes， relieving anxiety， regulating reproductive endocrine and immune abnormalities， personalized and diversified treatment， enhancing efficiency and reducing toxicity， and preventing the disease before occurrence. The difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with traditional Chinese and Western medicine lies in identifying the predictors of abortion caused by maternal factors and the treatment of thrombophilia. Recurrent abortion is the breakthrough point of treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is urgent to carry out high-quality evidence-based medicine research in the future to improve the modern diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with TCM.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of 125I seeds implantation combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of primary liver cancer. Methods:A retrospective analysis of data from 40 patients with primary liver cancer at the Northern Theater General Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 (26 males, 14 females, age 41 to 82 years) was performed. Among them, 21 patients were in treatment group and underwent 125I seeds implantation combined with TACE treatment, while 19 patients were in control group and received TACE treatment. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels between the two groups were compared, effective rate and disease control rate (DCR) of the two groups were analyzed, and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were observed. Data were analyzed by using Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Results:Two months after 125I seeds implantation, the effective rates of treatment group and control group were 76.19%(16/21) and 8/19, respectively ( χ2=4.83, P=0.028); the DCRs were 90.48%(19/21) and 11/19, respectively ( χ2=4.21, P=0.040). AFP levels in both groups decreased significantly, with treatment group showing a greater decrease rate (0.87(0.84, 0.90) and 0.66(0.65, 0.67); z=5.42, P<0.001). No serious adverse reaction was observed in either group. The median OS of treatment group and control group were 18.2 and 10.6 months, respectively ( χ2=10.98, P=0.037); the median PFS of the two groups were 8.4 and 6.1 months, respectively ( χ2=7.54, P=0.041). Conclusion:125I seeds implantation combined with TACE treatment can exert a synergistic and enhancing effect in the treatment of primary liver cancer.

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 study the serological and molecular biological characteristics and differences of occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) between blood donors and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.Methods:Nineteen OBI samples from blood donors and Nineteen OBI samples from CHB patients were collected, and named as group A and group B, respectively. Chemiluminescence method was used for hepatitis B five items detection. Real-time PCR method was used for HBV DNA quantification, and S gene was amplified by nested PCR and sequenced by DNA sequencing.Results:The level of HBV DNA in group A was significantly lower than that in group B ( P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in the serological result between the two groups. The mutation rate in the " a" determinant of S gene in group B was significantly higher than that in group A ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with CHB patients, OBI blood donors have lower levels of viral replication and less chance of S gene mutation, and the use of highly sensitive nucleic acid detection reagents and method during blood screening can maximize the safety of blood transfusion.

Objective:To explore the application of nested PCR in the detection of occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) in blood donors, and improve the detection rate of OBI in blood screening before blood transfusion.Methods:From July 2021 to August 2022, 37 blood donors who donated blood in our center were found to have HBsAg- and nucleic acid testing (NAT)+ by serological tests and nucleic acid amplification tests. The CT value of nucleic acid amplification test was recorded, and the HBV DNA was quantitatively detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR; Conventional PCR primers and nested PCR primers were designed to amplify HBV S gene and pre-S gene using conventional PCR and nested PCR respectively, and gene sequencing was performed for the amplification result.Results:Among the 37 HBsAg- and NAT+ blood donors, 33 nucleic acid detection CT values were in the gray area, and the fluorescent quantitative PCR detection of HBV DNA value was negatively correlated with the nucleic acid detection CT value; 37 cases of HBsAg-, NAT+ blood donors could not be amplified by conventional PCR. After using nested PCR, 34 cases could detect the S gene of HBV virus, and 28 cases could detect the pre S gene of HBV virus; The amplified bands were all HBV genome bands by gene sequencing.Conclusions:The plasma HBV viral load of HBsAg- and NAT+ blood donors was very low; nested PCR has high sensitivity, which can improve the detection rate of HBV S gene and pre-S gene, and has certain application value for the pre transfusion screening and follow-up research of OBI.

Objective:The serological characteristics and S gene sequencing of intermittent detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA from an unpaid blood donor were analyzed to provide a basis for correct interpretation of intermittent detection of HBV DNA from blood donors and better guarantee of blood safety.Methods:The samples of blood donors with intermittent detection of HBV DNA were collected for two blood donations. ELISA was used to detect HBsAg and NAT screening for HBV DNA. Electrochemical luminescence method was used to detect five items of hepatitis B. Nested PCR was used to amplify the HBV S gene, and gene sequencing was performed. Genotype and mutation were compared and analyzed.Results:HBsAg was negative in both samples by ELISA.NAT result were non-reactive once and reactive once. Hepatitis B e antibody (Anti-HBe) and hepatitis B core antibody (Anti-HBc) were positive. The same S gene sequence was obtained from two samples of the donor by amplification and sequencing, and the genotype was HBV genotype C. No mutation was found in the reference sequence comparison with S gene.Conclusions:The donor has occult HBV infection (OBI), which is manifested as intermittent detection by routine screening nucleic acid detection reagent, which is easy to miss HBV detection and seriously affects the safety of transfusion. Sensitive screening reagents and method are very important for the safety of blood transfusion.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 125I seeds implantation for lymph nodes metastasis (LNM) from radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma (RAIR-DTC), and to verify the computer three-dimensional treatment planning system (TPS) from the dosimetry accuracy in assisting seeds implantation to treat LNM. Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 17 RAIR-DTC patients with LNM admitted to the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from December 2016 to January 2019 (8 males, 9 females, median age 58 years). All patients underwent preoperative TPS planning design, CT-guided puncture and 125I seeds implantation (seed activity 14.8-25.9 MBq). The dosimetric results of postoperative validation were compared with those of preoperative planning, including the dosimetric parameters such as target volume before and after surgery and the dose received by 90% and 100% gross tumor volume (GTV) ( D90, D100), the percentage received by 100% and 150% of the prescription dose ( V100, V150), homogeneity index (HI). All patients underwent CT after 6 months to compare the LNM size, serum thyroglobulin (Tg) level, and the improvement of complications before and after treatment. Efficacies were divided into complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD). Paired t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test were used to analyze the data. Results:Among 17 patients, a total of 226 125I radioactive seeds were implanted. Among them, 1 achieved CR, 10 achieved PR, 4 were with SD, and 2 were with PD. The diameter of LNM was 1.40(0.65, 3.05) cm before treatment and was 0.40(0.21, 0.91) cm 6 months after treatment ( z=-3.95, P<0.05). The Tg before treatment was 23.50(20.94, 72.92) μg/L and was 8.90(3.20, 40.22) μg/L 6 months after treatment ( z=-5.009, P<0.001). Tg antibody were all negative. There were 90.90% (20/22) of patients had slightly lower D90 than the prescribed dose ((12 378.8±3 182.0) vs (12 497.8±1 686.4) cGy; t=0.251, P>0.05). The postoperative dose parameters D100 and V150 ((6 881.5±1 381.8) cGy, (58.5±18.4)%) were both lower than those of preoperative plan ((8 085.8±2 330.0) cGy, (66.5±17.7)%; t values: 8.913, 3.032, both P<0.05), and the remaining indicators were not significantly different from those of the preoperative plan ( t values: 0.251, 1.493, z values: from -1.604 to -0.593, all P>0.05). Conclusions:According to the TPS preoperative plan, 125I seeds implantation for treating RAIR-DTC LNM can achieve the expected dose distribution, and the short-term tumor local control is effective. It is a safe and effective treatment method.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of 125I seeds implantation (RSI) for treatment of lymph nodes metastases (LNM) in patients with 131I refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma (RAIR-DTC).Methods A total of 42 RAIR-DTC patients with LNM (14 males,28 females,median age 49 years) who underwent RSI guided by CT from January 2015 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent CT and their serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels were measured 2,4 and 6 months post-treatment.The LNM size and serum Tg levels before and after treatment were compared,and the curative effect of RSI for complications was observed.Paired t test,x2 test,repeated measurement analysis of variance,Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the data.Results Two patients (4.76％) achieved complete remission,9(21.43％) achieved partial remission,29(69.05％) had no change,2(4.76％) were with progressive disease in all 42 patients.Thetotal effective rate was 95.24％ (40/42).The LNM diameter post-treatment was (1.39±0.75) cm,significantly lower than that before treatment ((1.99±0.38) cm;t=5.557,P＜0.01).The Tg level 2,4 and 6 months posttreatment was (53.24± 14.05),(33.17±7.61) and (25.93± 10.91) μg/L,respectively,which was significantly lower than that before treatment ((57.72± 15.23) μg/L;F =23.612,all P＜0.05).The age,sex,metastatic site,and the number of seeds implanted in each lesion were not the influencing factors on RSI (x2 values:0.569-15.884,rs =0.277,all P＞0.05).The LNM size was the influencing factor on RSI (x2=4.524,P＜0.05).Conclusions 125I RSI can significantly alleviate the clinical symptoms of RAIR-DTC patients with LNM,and the LNM size has relevance for the treatment effect.The clinical follow-up time of serum Tg level can be extended to 6 months or even longer.
