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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD30 antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) brentuximab vedotin (BV) combined with chemotherapy in children with refractory or relapsed classic Hodgkin′s lymphoma (R/R cHL).Methods:Clinical data (including age, gender, B symptoms, clinical stage, previous treatment, etc.) of the 10 R/R cHL children diagnosed and treated at Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from October 2021 to August 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different intensity of chemotherapy drugs, the dose of BV applied in the same course of treatment was 1.8 mg/kg for BV applied once every 3 weeks, and 1.2 mg/kg for BV applied once every 2 weeks. All 10 patients received at least 2 cycles of BV combined with chemotherapy and were evaluated every 2 cycles. The patients were followed up until May 31, 2024. The infusion reactions and adverse reactions after treatment were recorded.Results:In all 10 patients, there were 7 males and 3 females, the age ranged from 5.3-16.9 years, and there were 6 cases of refractory and 4 cases of relapsed. There were 6 cases of nodular sclerosis type, 2 cases of mixed cell type, 1 case of lymphocyte-rich type, and 1 case of lymphodepletion type. There were 5 cases of stage Ⅳ and 5 cases of stage Ⅲ. Previous treatment was mainly chemotherapy, 4 cases received radiotherapy and 1 case received programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody therapy. The follow-up time ranged from 9 to 27 months. A total of 43 courses with 49 doses of BV alone or combined with chemotherapy were recorded, and the number of courses was 2 to 10 times. All 10 children responded to the treatment, and 9 achieved complete remission. BV infusion was successfully completed in all cases. A total of 28 cases of grade 3 or above adverse events were recorded, mainly myelosuppression, all of which were related to chemotherapy and did not affect sequential treatment.Conclusion:Brentuximab vedotin has demonstrated efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in the treatment of refractory and relapsed CD30-positive Hodgkin′s lymphoma in children.

Gaucher Disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by high heterogeneity. This study aimed to further understand the correlation between clinical phenotypes and genotypes in GD patients through a retrospective analysis of 20 cases in Shanxi Bethune Hospital, including their clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, enzyme studies, and genetic results. Among the 20 GD patients, 16 were classified as Type Ⅰ GD with a median age of diagnosis of 24 years, and 4 were classified as Type Ⅲ GD with a median age of diagnosis of 19 years. All patients exhibited splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia, with 16 patients showing skeletal imaging changes, and 5 of them presenting with bone pain symptoms. Genetic analysis revealed 15 distinct mutations, predominantly missense mutations, with L483P being the most prevalent (35.7%), followed by V414L, L303I, and F252I. Mutation sites were predominantly located in exon 7. Noteworthy findings included the first report of the S310G mutation by our research group and the first occurrence of the K196R mutation in the Chinese population. Additionally, the N227S mutation was implicated in a potential association with neuropathy. Despite advancements, Uncertainties still exist in the correlation between clinical phenotypes and genotypes in GD patients.

Objective:To investigate effect of Gehua Jiecheng Decoction on IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in colon tissue of ulcerative colitis with"inflammatory to cancer transformation"(UC-UCAC)mice of spleen deficiency and damp-heat type.Methods:Ten from 80 SPF C57BL/6 male mice were randomly selected as blank group and other 70 mice were selected as model group.After establishment of spleen deficient damp-heat model,mice were randomly divided into model group(1st,2nd and 3rd cycle),Gehua Jiecheng Decoction high,medium and low doses groups and mesalazine group,with 10 pieces per group.UC-UCAC transformation model was further established with azo methane oxide solution(AOM)/sodium glucan sulfate(DSS).Each group was treated with corresponding drugs for 4 weeks.General state of mice was observed.Score of disease activity index(DAI)was calculated.HE staining was used to observe colonic mucosa pathology of mice.EGFR,IL-6,JAK2,STAT3 and p-STAT3 proteins and genes expressions in mice colon tissues were detected by Western blot,IHC and RT-qPCR,respectively.Results:Compared with blank group,mice in model group(3rd cycle)were generally in a worse state,colon mucosal tissue was cancerous,DAI score,target proteins and genes expressions were significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with model group(3rd cycle),general state of mice in all treatment groups were restored and colonic tissues pathology were improved to some extent.Target proteins and genes expressions in other treatment groups were significantly decreased except for Gehua Jiecheng Decoction low-dose group(P<0.01).Conclusion:Gehua Jiecheng Decoction may destroy tumor inflammatory microenvironment,repair damaged colonic mucosa tissue,delay inflamma-tion-cancer transformation process and prevent UCAC by inhibiting activation of IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the correlations of lumbar bone mineral density(BMD)and metabolic syndrome(MS)in adult males.Methods Data of low dose chest CT and quantitative CT of 13 490 adult males were retrospectively analyzed,and lumbar BMD were measured to judge whether MS existed and the degree of MS,and the correlations of lumbar BMD with MS or not and the degree of MS,as well as of lumbar BMD value and the related indicators of MS were assessed.Taken lumbar BMD as the dependent variable,the age,low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),blood uric acid(BUA),hemoglobin(Hb)and MS or not were included in multiple linear regression analysis to observe the impact of MS and related indicators on lumbar BMD.Results Among 13 490 adult males,3 900 were found with MS(MS group),while 9 590 were found without MS(non-MS group).Significant difference of lumbar BMD was detected between groups(P=0.001).Lumbar BMD values were negatively correlated with MS(rs=-0.025,P=0.004)and the degree of MS(rs=-0.038,P＜0.001),whereas positively correlated with abdominal obesity,high triglyceride and low HDL-C or not(rs=0.024,0.061,0.036,all P＜0.001)but negatively correlated with hypertension and hyperglycemia or not(rs=-0.135,-0.104,both P＜0.05).After adjustment of age,lumbar BMD of adult males was negatively correlated with MS or not as well as LDL-C(both P＜0.05),but positively correlated with BUA and Hb(both P＜0.001).Conclusion Lumbar BMD was associated with MS in adult males.

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.

Overexpression of Krüppel like factor 2 (Klf2) or Klf7 inhibits adipocyte formation. However, it remains unclear whether Klf2 regulates klf7 expression in adipose tissue. In this study, oil red O staining and Western blotting were employed to study the effect of Klf2 overexpression on the differentiation of chicken preadipocytes. The results showed that Klf2 overexpression inhibited the differentiation of chicken preadipocytes induced by oleate and the expression of pparγ, while promoted klf7 expression in chicken preadipocytes. Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between the expression data of klf2 and klf7 in the adipose tissue of both human and chicken. The results showed that there was a significantly positive correlation between the expression of klf2 and klf7 in adipose tissues (r > 0.1). Luciferase reporter assay showed that overexpression of Klf2 significantly promoted the activity of chicken klf7 promoter (-241/-91, -521/-91, -1 845/-91, -2 286/-91, -1 215/-91; P < 0.05). In addition, the activity of klf7 promoter (-241/-91) reporter in chicken preadipocytes was significantly positively correlated with the amount of klf2 overexpression plasmid transfected (T_au=0.917 66, P=1.074×10^-7). Moreover, Klf2 overexpression significantly promoted the mRNA expression of klf7 in chicken preadipocytes (P < 0.05). In conclusion, upregulation of klf7 expression might be one of the pathways that Klf2 inhibits chicken adipocyte differentiation, and the sequence from -241 bp to -91 bp upstream chicken klf7 translation start site might mediate the regulation of Klf2 on klf7 transcription.

Objective:In order to explore the impact of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)on the hospitalization of children with bronchiolitis and to improve clinicians′ understanding of the characteristics of bronchiolitis during the COVID-19 epidemic.Methods:This was a multicenter clinical study, and the data have been collected from 23 children′s medical centers in China.All the clinical data were retrospectively collected from children with bronchiolitis who were hospitalized at each study center from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021.The results included gender, age at hospitalization, length of stay, respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) test results, severity rating, ICU treatment, and the total number of children hospitalized with respiratory tract infection during the same period.The clinical data of children with bronchiolitis in 2019 before COVID-19 epidemic and in 2020、2021 during COVID-19 epidemic were statistically analyzed and compared.Results:According to a summary of data provided by 23 children′s medical centers, there were 4 909 cases of bronchiolitis in 2019, 2 654 cases in 2020, and 3 500 cases in 2021.Compared with 2019, the number of bronchiolitis cases decreased by 45.94% in 2020 and 28.70% in 2021.In 2019, 2020 and 2021, there were no significant differences in gender ratio, age, and duration of hospitalization.Compared with 2019, the ratio of bronchiolitis to the total number of hospitalizations for respiratory tract infection decreased significantly in 2020 and 2021( χ2=12.762, P<0.05; χ2=84.845, P<0.05).The proportion of moderate to severe bronchiolitis cases in both 2020 and 2021 was lower than that in 2019, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.054, P<0.05; χ2=8.109, P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of bronchiolitis cases requiring ICU treatment between 2019, 2020, and 2021 ( χ2=1.914, P>0.05).In 2019, a total of 52.60%(2 582/4 909) of children with bronchiolitis underwent RSV pathogen testing, and among them, there were 708 cases with RSV positive, accounting for 28.00%.In 2020, 54.14%(1 437/2 654) of children with bronchiolitis underwent RSV pathogen testing, and there were 403 cases with RSV positive, accounting for 28.04%.In 2021, 66.80%(2 238/3 500) of children with bronchiolitis underwent RSV pathogen testing, and there were 935 cases with RSV positive, accounting for 41.78%.Compared with 2019 and 2020, the RSV positive rate in 2021 showed a significant increase( χ2=99.673, P<0.05; χ2=71.292, P<0.05). Conclusion:During the COVID-19 epidemic, the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures reduced the hospitalization rate and severity of bronchiolitis, but did not reduce the positive rate of RSV detection.

Objective:To understand the cognition and training status of basic life support among medical staff in Linfen, Shanxi Province, and to provide reference for the development of targeted training strategies and programs.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted among medical staff in 12 county hospitals in Linfen, Shanxi Province by convenience sampling method. The survey included the general characteristics of departments and medical staff, previous basic life support training assessment and cognitive status.Results:A total of 839 medical staff were included, 756 (90.1%) completed the survey, 183 (24.2%) were doctors and 573 (75.8%) were nurses. Most personnel lacked awareness of environmental safety, emergency response system start-up, adequate compression, airway management, and electrical defibrillation.Conclusions:The cognitive status of basic life support of medical staff in Linfen county is not optimistic. It is necessary to construct an applicable precision training course and retraining assessment system to improve the cognitive level and practical operation ability.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) in urological inpatients during perioperation.Methods:The clinical data of 7 988 inpatients admitted to the Department of Urology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The cohort included 5 657 males and 2 331 females. The average age of the enrolled patients was (56.3±15.8) years old, and the body mass index was (23.8±3.2) kg/m 2. There were 1 628 malignant tumors patients and 6 360 non-malignant tumors patients in the cohort. Of all the patients, 7 725 cases received surgical treatment. All patients were scored with the Caprini Risk Assessment Model (2005) after admission and 1 655 cases were classified as very low risk, 2 940 cases were low risk, 2 922 cases were medium risk, 345 cases were high risk and 126 cases were very high risk. Patients with Caprini score ≥ 2 and/or clinical symptoms were examined by venous color Doppler ultrasound. CT pulmonary angiography was performed for patients with chest pain, chest tightness, decreased blood oxygen saturation and other symptoms suspected of pulmonary embolism according to clinical judgment to screen the incidence of VTE. Results:Among the 7 988 cases, 180 cases (2.25%, 180/7 988) with VTE were found by preoperative examination, including 1 case (0.01%, 1/7 988) with pulmonary embolism. There were 199 new cases with VTE after operation, and the incidence of new VTE after operation was 2.58% (199/7 725). Among them, pulmonary embolism was found in 7 cases, with a incidence of 0.09% (7/7 725). Only 7.92% (30/379) of the VTE patients had VTE-related symptoms. The operations with higher incidence of VTE were radical cystectomy, nephroureterectomy, radical prostatectomy and radical nephrectomy, with the incidence of 11.61% (13/112), 10.87 (10/92), 8.25% (16/194) and 6.16% (22/357) respectively.Conclusions:The incidence of VTE in hospitalized patients with urinary surgery in this study is much higher than previously reported. Most of the patients with VTE are asymptomatic. The operations with high incidence of VTE after operation are radical cystectomy, nephroureterectomy, radical prostatectomy and radical nephrectomy. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out VTE screening for hospitalized patients in urology department, which is helpful to realize early intervention of VTE and reduce the risk of VTE progression and pulmonary embolism.
