This paper systematically summarizes the practical experience of the 2025 Dingri earthquake emergency medical rescue in Tibet. It analyzes the requirements for earthquake medical rescue under conditions of high-altitude hypoxia, low temperature, and low air pressure. The paper provides a detailed discussion on the strategic layout of earthquake medical rescue at the national level, local government level, and through social participation. It covers the construction of rescue organizational systems, technical systems, material support systems, and information systems. The importance of building rescue teams is emphasized. In high-altitude and cold conditions, rapid response, scientific decision-making, and multi-party collaboration are identified as key elements to enhance rescue efficiency. By optimizing rescue organizational structures, strengthening the development of new equipment, and promoting telemedicine technologies, the precision and effectiveness of medical rescue can be significantly improved, providing important references for future similar disaster rescues.

ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze an outbreak of rotavirus infectious diarrhea in a prison in Chongqing Municipality, to provide a basis for adult rotavirus surveillance and prevention, and to explore the public health problems in special settings. MethodsA retrospective survey was conducted to collect and analyze data on individual cases with diarrheal disease on-site. The clinical characteristics, as well as the temporal, spatial and geographical distribution patterns of the epidemic were described. Multi-pathogen detection tests were conducted both on diarrhea cases and environmental samples, with viral genotyping performed on positive samples. A case-control analysis was performed to identify the causes of the outbreak, and an SEIR model was adopted to predict the outbreak trend and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. ResultsA total of 65 cases were found among the inmates, with an attack rate of 2.03%. The predominant clinical manifestations included diarrhea (89.23%), watery stool (73.85%), and dehydration (18.46%). The epidemic curve indicated a “human-to-human” transmission pattern, with an average incubation period of 5‒6 days. The attack rates among chefs in the main canteen (80.00%, 8/10) and caterers (28.33%, 17/60) were significantly higher than those of other inmates （P<0.05）. Multi-pathogen polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing detected positive for group A rotavirus, with the viral genotyping identified as G9P [8] strain. Factors such as unprotected "bare-handed" food distribution among cases with diarrhea (OR=9.512, 95%CI: 4.261‒21.234) and close contact with diarrhea cases (OR=3.656, 95%CI: 1.719‒7.778) were the possible cause of the outbreak. The SEIR model (r₀=5, α=0.3, β₁=0.08, β₂=0.04) was constructed using prison inmates as susceptible population, aiming at fitting the initial transmission trend of the outbreak, and the epidemic rate declined rapidly after intervention measures were implemented (r_t≈0). ConclusionThis rare rotavirus infection diarrhea outbreak among adults in confined settings suggests that the construction of public health prevention and control systems in prison may be overlooked. Cross infection during meal processing and distribution in the canteens of such settings is likely to be the cause of the outbreak. Given the potential neglect of public heath system construction in special settings, it is imperative to enhance the surveillance and monitoring of rotavirus and other intestinal multi-pathogens among adults, as well as the construction of public health prevention and control systems in these special settings.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of atopic dermatitis in the elderly. METHODS: In this study, elderly patients with atopic dermatitis treated with dupilumab for at least 16 weeks in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2021 to October 2023 were retrospectively collected. Clinical indicators were compared before, during and after treatment, including pruritus numerical rating score (PNRS), eczema area and severity index (EASI), dermatology life quality index (DLQI) score, and the incidence of adverse events was recorded. The expression of interferon γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in peripheral blood were compared before treatment and after 16 weeks of treatment. RESULTS: A total of 90 elder patients with atopic dermatitis were included, EASI, PNRS and DLQI scores all showed a gradual downward trend during the treatment period, which was manifested as a rapid decline in the first 4 weeks after starting treatment, and then the decline gradually leveled off. The results of point-to-point comparison showed that EASI, PNRS and DLQI scores in 4 weeks after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.001); In the 16th week after treatment, the scores of the above therapeutic indicators were further reduced, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the 4th week (P < 0.01); The EASI score was significantly lower at each time point than the previous time point, indicating that the patients' skin lesions continued to improve significantly. The overall efficacy of dupliumab was evaluated. After 4 weeks of treatment, 62.89% of patients achieved EASI-50 (EASI score decreased by ≥50%), and 74.4% of patients' DLQI score decreased by ≥4 points. After 16 weeks of treatment, 57.8% of the patients achieved EASI-75, 32.2% achieved EASI-90, and the PNRS and DLQI scores of all the patients decreased by ≥4 points. After 16 weeks of treatment, the expression levels of IL-4 and IL-6 were (31.62±6.23) ng/L and (14.36±2.25) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.001), and the expression level of IFN-γ was (15.37±3.14) ng/L, which was higher than before treatment (P < 0.001).The main adverse reactions were conjunctivitis (2 cases), injection site reaction (3 cases) and multiple bacterial folliculitis of the back (2 cases), which could be alleviated by symptomatic treatment, and no serious adverse reactions occurred. CONCLUSION Dupilumab has shown good efficacy in the treatment of elderly atopic dermatitis, which can effectively improve clinical symptoms such as itching and skin lesions, improve the quality of life of patients, and no serious adverse reactions occurred during treatment, so it is safe and worthy of clinical promotion.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C₀), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug‍-‍drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

Homo- or heterodimeric compounds that affect dimeric protein function through interaction between monomeric moieties and protein subunits can serve as valuable sources of potent and selective drug candidates. Here, we screened an in-house dimeric natural product collection, and panepocyclinol A (PecA) emerged as a selective and potent STAT3 inhibitor with profound anti-tumor efficacy. Through cross-linking C712/C718 residues in separate STAT3 monomers with two distinct Michael receptors, PecA inhibits STAT3 DNA binding affinity and transcription activity. Molecular dynamics simulation reveals the key conformation changes of STAT3 dimers upon the di-covalent binding with PecA that abolishes its DNA interactions. Furthermore, PecA exhibits high efficacy against anaplastic large T cell lymphoma in vitro and in vivo, especially those with constitutively activated STAT3 or STAT3^Y640F. In summary, our study describes a distinct and effective di-covalent modification for the dimeric compound PecA to disrupt STAT3 function.

AIM:To explore the effects of CD38 on lysosome reformation and cholesterol efflux in macro-phages.METHODS:Bone marrow-derived macrophages from low-density lipoprotein(LDL)receptor knockout(LDLr-/-)mice were cultured as cell model.Live cell imaging system was applied to evaluate the effect of nicotinic acid adenine di-nucleotide phosphate(NAADP)on lysosome number.ELISA was conducted to measure NAADP level in macrophages.After the cells were treated with nicotinic acid(NA),RT-qPCR was conducted to detect CD38 mRNA expression,and Western blot was conducted to observe CD38 protein expression and phosphorylated transcription factor EB(TFEB)level.Laser scanning confocal microscopy was applied to evaluate the influence of CD38/NAADP signaling on lysosome number and cholesterol egression.RESULTS:NAADP remarkably increased lysosome number(P<0.05),and this effect was significantly inhibited by NAADP antagonist NED-19,Ca2+ chelator BAPTA,and calcineurin inhibitor CsA(P<0.05).CD38 markedly enhanced NAADP synthesis in macrophages(P<0.05).NAADP synthetic substrate NA prominently ele-vated the expression of CD38 mRNA and protein(P<0.05).NA significantly decreased the phosphorylated TFEB level;this effect was also attenuated by NED-19,BAPTA and CsA(P<0.05).Disrupting CD38/NAADP signaling pathway markedly inhibited NA-induced enhancement of lysosome number,lysosomal free cholesterol and cytosol cholesterol ester efflux in macrophages(P<0.05).NA-induced enhancement of lysosome number,lysosomal free cholesterol and cytosol cholesterol ester efflux abolished in LDLr/CD38 DKO macrophages(P<0.05),whereas these effects induced by NA were recovered after CD38 gene rescue.CONCLUSION:CD38 triggers lysosome reformation via TFEB and consequently pro-motes the efflux of lysosomal free cholesterol and cytosol cholesterol ester.

Purpose To investigate the effect of autophagy intervention on ferroptosis and drug resistance of colorectal canc-er cells and its molecular mechanism.Methods The human colorectal cancer cell lines HCT-8,COLO205,HCT-116,SW620,and SW480 were cultured.HCT-116 cells with moder-ate expression of LC3 were screened,and the expression differ-ences of LC3,p62,Keap1,Nrf2,GPX4 proteins,Fe2+,GSH,and MDA between them and OXA-resistant HCT-116/OXA cell lines were detected.The expression levels of LC3,p62,Keap1,Nrf2,GPX4,Fe2+,GSH and MDA were assessed in HCT-116/OXA cells through the intervention of autophagy and ferroptosis intervention agent combined with oxaliplatin.The proliferative activity and sensitivity to oxaliplatin in each group were detected by CCK-8 assay.Cell growth and invasion ability of each group were detected by plate cloning and Trans well assay.Results LC3,p62 and GPX4 expression levels of HCT-116 cells in the 5 groups were moderate.Compared with HCT-116 cells,HCT-116/OXA was less sensitive to oxaliplatin,and the proteins of p62,Nrf2 and GPX4 were highly expressed,LC3 and Keap1 were lowly expressed,and the expression of Fe2+,GSH and MDA were increased(P＜0.05).The levels of LC3,Keap1 protein,Fe2+and MDA in Rapa and Rapa+Fer-1 groups were higher than those in Fer-1 and control groups,while p62,Nrf2,GPX4 and GSH levels were lower.The expressions of GPX4 pro-tein and GSH in Rapa+Fer-1 group were lower than those in Rapa group(P＜0.05).In the autophagy inhibitor group,LC3,p62,Nrf2,GPX4 and GSH were highly expressed in the CQ and CQ+Erastin groups compared with the control and Eras-tin groups,while Keap1 protein,Fe2+and MDA were low.The levels of GPX4 protein and GSH in Erastin group were lower than those in the other three groups,and the levels of Fe2+and MDA were higher than those in the other three groups(P＜0.05).The combination of autophagy activator OXA showed that Rapa intervention group had higher chemical sensitivity to OXA,less number of migrating cells and lower cell proliferation activity than the other three groups.The sensitivity of Rapa+Fer-1 group to oxaliplatin was lower than that of Rapa group,but higher than that of Fer-1 group and control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between Fer-1 group and con-trol group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the cell activity,migration capacity and clonogenesis capacity of Erastin,CQ+Erastin and CQ groups were decreased when auto-phagy inhibitor was combined with OXA,and the Erastin group was the lowest,while the CQ+Erastin group was higher than the Erastin group,and lower than the CQ group(P＜0.05).Con-clusion In colorectal cancer,autophagy is involved in the regu-lation of ferroptosis,and intervention in autophagy can regulate ferroptosis in colorectal cancer cells through the p62-Keap1/Nrf2-GPX4 pathway,thereby reversing oxaliplatin resistance.

With reference to the training system in the United States, we can further improve the DBP specialist training system in China by perfecting the training system and related documents, constructing reasonable eligibility criteria, establishing a training pattern guided by post competency, improving the DBP assessment and evaluation system based on competency, and enhancing the certification of DBP physicians.

Objective:To develop a genotyping method for the Junior blood type and report on a rare blood type with Jr(a-).Methods:Healthy O-type RhD+ volunteer donors of the Shenzhen Blood Center from January to May 2021 ( n=1 568) and a pedigree with difficult cross-matching ( n=3) were selected as the study subjects. Serological methods were used for proband′s blood type identification, unexpected antibody identification, and antibody titer determination. Polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) method was used for typing the proband′s RHD gene. ABCG2 gene coding region sequencing and a PCR-SSP genotyping method were established for determining the genotypes of the proband and his family members and screening of Jra antigen-negative rare blood type among the 1 568 blood donors. Results:The proband′s ABO and RhD blood types were respectively determined as B and partial D (RHDDVI.3/RHD01N.01), Junior blood type Jra antigen was negative, and plasma had contained anti-D and anti-Jra. Sequencing of the ABCG2 gene revealed that the proband′s genotype was ABGG201N.01/ABGG201N.01 [homozygous c. 376C>T (p.Gln126X) variants], which is the most common Jr(a-) blood type allele in the Asian population. Screening of the voluntary blood donors has detected no Jr(a-) rare blood type. Statistical analysis of the heterozygotes suggested that the allelic frequency for ABCG2*01N.01 (c.376T) was 0.45%, and the frequency of Jr(a-) rare blood type with this molecular background was about 0.2‰. Conclusion:A very rare case of partial DVI.3 type and Jr(a-) rare blood type has been identified. And a method for identifying the Junior blood type through sequencing the coding regions of the ABCG2 gene and PCR-SSP has been established.

Objective To investigate whether activation of mitochondrial acetal dehydrogenase 2(ALDH2)alleviates hypoxic pulmonary hypertension by regulating the SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway.Methods Thirty 8-week-old C57 BL/6 mice were randomized into control,hypoxia,and hypoxia+Alda-1(an ALDH2 activator)group(n=10),and the mice in the latter two groups,along with 10 ALDH2 knockout(ALDH2-/-)mice,were exposed to hypoxia(10%O2,90%N2)with or without daily intraperitoneal injection of Alda-1 for 4 weeks.The changes in right ventricular function and pressure(RVSP)of the mice were evaluated by echocardiography and right ventricular catheter test,and pulmonary artery pressure was estimated based on RVSP.Pulmonary vascular remodeling,right ventricular injury,myocardial α-SMA expression,distal pulmonary arteriole muscle normalization,right ventricular cross-sectional area,myocardial cell hypertrophy,and right cardiac hypertrophy index were assessed with HE staining,immunofluorescence staining and WGA staining,and the expressions of ALDH2,SIRT1,PGC-1α,P16INK4A and P21CIP1 were detected.In pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells with hypoxic exposure,the effect of Alda-1 and EX527 on cell senescence and protein expressions was evaluated using β-galactose staining and Western blotting.Results The wild-type mice with hypoxic exposure showed significantly increased RVSP,right ventricular free wall thickness and myocardial expressions of P16INK4A and P21CIP1,which were effectively lowered by treatment with Alda-1 but further increased in ALDH2-/-mice.In cultured pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells,hypoxic exposure significantly increased senescent cell percentage and cellular expressions of P16INK4A and P21CIP1,which were all lowered by treatment with Alda-1,but its effect was obviously attenuated by EX527 treatment.Conclusion ALDH2 alleviates hypoxia-induced senescence of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells by upregulating the SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway to alleviate pulmonary hypertension in mice.
