Objective:To investigate the influence of changes in the cognitive load of anesthesia residents on the teaching effectiveness of high-fidelity scenario simulation.Methods:Eighty-seven anesthesia residents in a grade-A tertiary hospital from February to November 2022 were divided into groups A, B, and C according to the random number method. Three cases were selected from the anesthesia crisis resource teaching case library for high-fidelity simulation training for the three groups, respectively, using the crossover design to control the order of the cases. Each round of training consisted of pre-training instruction, simulation teaching, and post-training summarization and analysis. After three rounds of simulation teaching, cognitive load, anxiety status, test scores, and non-technical skills were evaluated for all the study participants. SPSS 20.0 was used to perform analysis of variance with repeated measures and Pearson's correlation analysis.Results:All the three groups showed significantly higher cognitive load and anxiety scores during the first-round simulation training than during the second-round and third-round simulation trianing. The test scores were significantly lower in the first round [(87.07±5.66), (88.38±5.41), (89.07±6.17)] than in the second round [(95.69±2.29), (96.10±2.08), (96.07±2.60)] and the third round [(96.34±1.45), (96.38±1.50), (96.17±1.73); all P<0.05]. The non-technical skill scores were also significantly lower in the first round [(37.24±7.58), (38.69±7.27), (39.24±8.74)] than in the second round [(46.17±5.55), (47.07±5.59), (47.59±6.74)] and the third round [(47.17±5.21), (48.48±5.38), (48.24±6.83); all P<0.05]. For simulations with the same cases, the trainees showed significantly higher cognitive load and anxiety scores and significantly lower test scores and non-technical skill scores in the first round than in the second and third rounds ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Anesthesia residents have higher levels of cognitive load and anxiety in the first scenario simulation training, which can reduce learning outcomes, and repeated simulation training can reduce trainees' cognitive load and anxiety.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of TACE combined with propranolol for treating giant infantile hepatic hemangioma(IHH).Methods Ten infants with giant IHH who underwent TACE combined with propranolol were retrospectively enrolled.The technical success rate,complications and recurrence were recorded.The therapeutic effect was evaluated according to clinical symptoms and changes of IHH volume before and 6 months after TACE.Results Totally 15 times of TACE were successfully performed in 10 infants,with technical success rate of 100%.Bleomycin-lipiodol emulsion+poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)+coil embolization were performed in 3 cases,while bleomycin-lipiodol emulsion+PVA embolization were performed in 7 cases.Complications of TACE included subcutaneous hematoma around the puncture site in 1 case and transient hypothermia within 24 h after TACE in 2 cases,all alleviated after symptomatic treatments.No other complication occurred.Six months after the last TACE,significantly effective was observed in 9 cases(9/10,90.00%),while effective was noticed in 1 case(1/10,10.00%),with total therapeutic effective rate of 100%.No serious complication such as gallbladder necrosis,liver necrosis,death,nor recurrence of hepatic hemangioma occurred during follow-up.Conclusion TACE combined with propranolol was effective and safe for treating giant IHH.

Objective To investigate the effect of ethanolic extract of Cichorium glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.on fecal bile acid profiles in high-fat-diet-induced obese mice.Methods Twenty-four 6-week-old C57 BL/6 male mice were divided randomly into normal,model,drug-administration,and metformin groups.Mice in the normal group were fed a regular diet and mice in the other three groups were given high-fat diets.The drug-administration group was gavaged with 10 mL/kg ethanol extract of Cichorium glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.daily,and the metformin group was gavaged with 10 mL/kg metformin daily.After 10 weeks,livers were collected to measure hepatic total triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C),and high-density lipoprotein(HDL)-C.Feces were collected and analyzed.Results Body weight(P＜0.0001),liver TG(P＜0.05),and TC(P＞0.05)were all significantly higher in model mice compared with normal mice,while LDL-C(P＞0.05)and HDL-C(P＜0.001)were significantly lower,indicating abnormal weight gain and lipid metabolism.Alcoholic extract of Cichorium glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.significantly reduced body weight(P＜0.0001),liver TG(P＜0.0001),serum TG(P＜0.05),TC(P＜0.01),and LDL-C(P＜0.05)in mice.Methodsological validation showed that the current method could accurately quantify 52 bile acids in feces.Analysis of the concentration of each type of bile acid revealed that alcoholic extract of Cichorium glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.significantly increased the secondary/primary bile acid ratio(P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the bile acid metabolic pattern was significantly altered in all groups.Eight differential bile acids were screened in the drug-administration group relative to the model group using variable importance of projection＞1 and P＜0.05.A search of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database revealed that the differential bile acids were mainly involved in the secondary bile acid biosynthesis pathway.Correlation analysis showed that four differential bile acids,deoxycholic acid(r,=0.6445,P＜0.001),isolithocholic acid(r,=0.5879,P＜0.01),3β-deoxycholic acid(r,=0.6649,P＜0.001),and ω-rhamnoglutaric acid(rs=0.5387,P＜0.01),in feces were strongly positively correlated with body weight.Conclusions Cichorium glandulosum Boiss.et Huet.alcoholic extract may play a role in weight reduction and amelioration of dyslipidemia by modulating secondary bile acid biosynthesis and altering fecal bile acid metabolic profiles.

Two new nor-ent-halimane diterpenes and three previously unreported nor-clerodane diterpenes,designated callicain-tides A-E(1-5),were isolated from Callicarpa integerrima.Compounds 1 and 2 feature a distinctive 5/6-membered ring system,while compounds 3-5 are characterized by progressively truncated carbon skeletons,containing 18,17,and 16 carbons,respectively.In addition,four known compounds 6-9 were also identified.Their structures were elucidated using advanced spectroscopic tech-niques,including nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR),high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(HR-ESI-MS),ultra-violet(UV),infrared radiation(IR),optical rotatory dispersion(ORD),DP4+analysis and electronic circular dichroism(ECD),sup-ported by quantum chemical calculations.Compounds 1-9 were evaluated for their anti-MRSA activity.Among them,compound 6 demonstrated significant anti-MRSA activity,with a minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of 16 μg·mL-1.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 308-nm excimer lamp and 308-nm excimer laser in the treatment of pediatric vitiligo.Methods:Clinical data were collected from children with stable vitiligo who received targeted phototherapy at the Department of Dermatology of Xijing Hospital from 2010 to 2015, and retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated with either 308-nm excimer laser or 308-nm excimer lamp, and all were given topical drugs. The treatment lasted for at least 3 months, and follow-up for at least 6 months. The severity of vitiligo was assessed using the Vitiligo Area and Severity Index (VASI) score. The efficacy was evaluated after 3 months of treatment, and at least a 50% reduction in the VASI score (VASI50) was defined as "effectiveness". A logistic regression model was constructed using treatment efficacy as the dependent variable to screen factors related to the treatment outcome. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare skewed data before and after treatment. Adverse reactions during treatment were recorded to evaluate the safety of targeted phototherapy.Results:A total of 194 children with stable vitiligo were included, comprising 103 males (53.1%) and 91 females (46.9%), with the age being 6 to 14 (10.2 ± 2.3) years. Among them, 138 (71.1%) received 308-nm excimer laser therapy, while 56 (28.9%) received 308-nm excimer lamp therapy. The VASI score ( M [ Q1, Q3]) was 0.12 (0.05, 0.40) at the baseline, significantly decreased to 0.06 (0.02, 0.19) after 3 months of treatment ( Z = 12.02, P < 0.001). After 3 months of treatment, 52 patients achieved VASI50, and 30 achieved VASI75, resulting in an overall response rate of 42.3% (82/194). Specifically, in the 308-nm excimer laser group, 38 patients achieved VASI50 and 26 achieved VASI75, with a response rate of 46.4% (64/138) ; in the 308-nm excimer lamp group, 14 patients achieved VASI50 and 4 achieved VASI75, yielding a response rate of 32.1% (18/56). Univariate logistic regression analysis indicated that lesions located on the head and neck or the trunk were more prone to repigmentation compared with those on the limbs ( OR = 3.56, 95% CI: 1.15 - 11.02, P = 0.027; OR = 6.58, 95% CI: 1.81 - 23.96, P = 0.004, respectively) ; additionally, facial lesions around the eyes were more prone to repigmentation compared with lesions on other facial areas ( OR = 4.58, 95% CI: 1.10 - 19.11, P = 0.037), and hair involvement in vitiligo lesions on the head and neck made repigmentation less likely to occur compared with lesions without hair involvement ( OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.13 - 0.75, P = 0.010). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the periorbital region was the most favorable site for repigmentation among facial areas ( OR = 5.37, 95% CI: 1.18 - 24.34, P = 0.029), and hair involvement in vitiligo lesions on the head and neck was an independent risk factor for phototherapy-induced repigmentation ( OR = 0.28, 95% CI: 0.08 - 0.96, P = 0.042). Among the 194 patients treated with targeted phototherapy for 3 months, 33 experienced short-term treatment-related adverse reactions, including erythema, blisters, desquamation, itching, and pain; most adverse reactions were mild, and no severe adverse reactions were observed. Conclusion:Targeted phototherapy using 308-nm excimer laser or 308-nm excimer lamp was safe and effective for the treatment of pediatric vitiligo.

A 9-year-old male child presented with red plaques on the left upper limb for more than 5 years without obvious subjective symptoms. Topical glucocorticoids and calcineurin inhibitors did not markedly improve his condition. Skin examination showed dark red map-like plaques with clear borders on the extensor side of the left upper limb, with a few white scales attached to the surface and satellite lesions at the edge. There were no obvious abnormalities in routine blood and urine tests or immunological examinations. Histopathological examination revealed dense infiltration of abundant lymphocytes and plasma cells in the upper and middle dermis, with some inflammatory cells infiltrating the fat septa and focal formation of lymphoid follicles; immunohistochemical study showed positive staining for CD3 in interfollicular regions, CD20 in the follicular center, and CD38 in plasma cells, as well as for IgG Kappa chain and IgG Lambda chain; periodic acid-Schiff staining and acid-fast staining both showed negative results. A diagnosis of childhood benign lymphoplasmacytic plaque was made. The patient was treated with topical halometasone cream once a day in the morning, topical tacrolimus ointment once a night, and oral traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. After 6 months of follow-up, the skin lesions became slightly flat, slightly lighter in color, and no new lesions occurred. Treatment and follow-up were ongoing.

Objective We systematically analyze the changes in the count and function of platelet at the early sepsis based on clinical study and single cell sequencing.Methods Clinical data of sepsis patients at the early stage were collected and had been compared between different prognostic groups in the prospective case-control study.The independent risk factors of death were analyzed by logistic regression,and the predictive efficacy of clini-cal indicators was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The healthy volunteers and sepsis patients were recruited.Clinical researchers collected peripheral venous blood samples for sorting cell samples to carry out single-cell RNA sequencing(sc-RNA seq).Through bioinformatics techniques,we analyzed the changes in platelet count,the significantly differential-expressed genes and its enriched functional signaling pathways in the early stages of sepsis.Results(1)A total of 224 patients were enrolled,with a 90 day survival rate of 70.5%.Compared with the survival group,the count of platelet and MAP in the death group at the early stage of sepsis were significantly lower,but the plasma lactate content and SOFA score were significantly higher.(2)Based on single cell sequencing technology,cells are annotated as six groups.The proportion of innate immune cells(neutrophils,monocytes,and dendritic cells)was significantly increased in the early stage of sepsis compared to the healthy volun-teers(2.15∶1),while platelets significantly decreased(0.31∶1).(3)Through bioinformatics technology,CD41/CD42a/CD61 was identified as platelet specific molecules,with significantly increased expression levels in sepsis.Three molecules can distinguish platelets together.(4)771 genes were significantly upregulated and 1101 genes were significantly downregulated in platelets of patients with sepsis,including core molecules involved in physiological functions such as cell adhesion,chemotaxis,and immune response.Functional analysis suggests that differentially expressed genes are enriched in coagulation,immune functions and cell death,participating in oxidative phosphory-lation,leukocyte chemotaxis,iron death,and NOD like receptor signaling pathways.Conclusion Reduced platelet count is associated with poor prognosis in the early stage of sepsis.The specific high expression molecules CD41/CD42a/CD61 that are significantly upregulated in platelets can serve as biomarkers for platelets.Platelets not only mediate cell adhesion and coagulation cascade,but also participate in functional changes such as immune cell chemotaxis,inflammatory response,and the pathological death of inflammatory cells.

Objective This study investigated the role of P2Y1-small conductance Ca2+-activated K+channel(SK3)channels in platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α-positive(PDGFRα+)cells in gastrointestinal motility in functional dyspepsia(FD).Methods Thirty rats were divided into control,model,and inhibitor groups(n=10 each group).The model and inhibitor groups were used to establish FD rat model,and the inhibitor group received MRS2500 via caudal injection.Behavioral and gastrointes-tinal assessments were conducted at the end of the experiment.Gastrointestinal electrophysiology was recorded,and gastric an-trum samples were analyzed histopathologically.Western blotting and qPCR were used to measure PDGFRα,C-kit(a specificity indicator for interstitial cells of Cajal),P2Y1,and SK3 expression levels.Immunofluorescence staining was used to assess pro-tein colocalization,and calcium assay kits were used to evaluate Ca2+flux.Results Following model establishment,experimental rats presented reduced activity,weight gain,and food intake,accompanied by decreased gastrointestinal motility and decreased expression of PDGFRα,C-kit,P2Y1,and SK3 in the gastric antrum.After MRS2500 treatment,FD rats presented increased weight gain and food consumption,with improved gastrointestinal motility.The expression of PDGFRα,P2Y1,and SK3 contin-ued to decrease,whereas C-kit expression and Ca2+levels increased.Notably,there was no coexpression of PDGFRα with C-kit,but significant coexpression of P2Y1 and SK3 was observed.Conclusion Stressors such as dietary factors and emotional dis-tress may increase inhibitory neurotransmitter release in gastrointestinal tissues,leading to reduced Ca2+sensitivity of the SK3 channel in PDGFRα+cells,affecting gastrointestinal motility in FD.

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 current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.
