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.

AIM: To optimize the technique of intravenous injection of Evans blue and retinal preparations in mice, improving the accuracy and repeatability of staining experiment of retinal preparations.METHODS: C57BL/6 male mice were intravenous injected with 10g/L(1%)Evans Blue 0.3mL and circulated in vivo for 10 or 20min, and the eyes were removed after sacrificed and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20, 40 or 60min. When failure of intravenous injection, the experiment was remediated by intraperitoneal injection of 1% Evans Blue 0.3mL, circulated in vivo for 3h and fixed for 60min to observe morphology, distribution and leakage of the retinal vessels. Besides, we compared the morphology, distribution and leakage of the retinal vessels after intravenous injection with those after intraperitoneal injection to determine the optimal conditions for in vivo circulation time and retinal preparations.RESULTS: After intravenous injection, compared to the retinal vascular condition under 20min in vivo circulation time of Evans blue and 20 or 40min of fixation, with 10min of in vivo Evans blue circulation and 60min of fixation, the morphology of retinal vascular was more intact with less retinal vascular leakage, and the vascular branches are clear. When intravenous injection failed, remediated results from intraperitoneal injection showed that the morphology and distribution of retinal vessels were intact. There was no significant difference in morphology, distribution and leakage of the retinal vessels after 3h of intraperitoneal Evans blue circulation compared to 10min intravenous Evans blue circulation.CONCLUSION: This experiment optimizes the protocol, improves the accuracy and reproducibility of retinal preparations, and provides a reference for the study of related retinal vascular diseases.

Objective:To observe the effect of acupuncture in regulating ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP),and discuss the action of acupuncture in intervening heroin-induced brain damage.Methods:Thirty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into a control group,a model group and an acupuncture group by using the random number table.Rats in the model and acupuncture groups received intramuscular heroin injection for successive 8 d at a progressively increased dose.Afterwards,the injection was suspended for 5 d for withdrawal.The heroin relapse rat model was established by repeating the drug addiction and withdrawal process for 3 times.The control group followed the step of the model establishment,but was given intramuscular injection of normal saline at the stage of addiction and no intervention at the stage of withdrawal;the model group was given intramuscular heroin injection at a progressively increased dose at the addiction stage and no intervention at the withdrawal stage;the acupuncture group was dealt in the same way as the model group at the addiction stage,but received acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20) and Dazhui (GV 14) at the withdrawal stage,with the needles retained for 30 min each time,1 session a day,for successive 5 d.On the 39th day,brain tissues were extracted from the hippocampus and ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the three groups of rats.The apoptosis of brain nerve cells was detected by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick and labeling (TUNEL).The mRNA and protein expressions of ubiquitin (Ub),ubiquitin protein ligase (E3) and 26S were examined by immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).Results:Compared with the model group,rat's hippocampus and VTA in the acupuncture group showed significantly fewer cells positively stained by TUNEL staining (P＜0.01),and its mRNA and protein expressions of Ub,E3,26S were significantly lower (P＜0.01).Conclusion:Reducing nerve cell apoptosis and regulating the mRNA and protein expressions of Ub,E3 and 26S in rat's hippocampus and VTA are possibly one of the action mechanisms of acupuncture in intervening heroin-induced brain damage.

Objective To compare the epidemiological characteristics and differences in brachialankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)among middle-aged residents between Shanghai and Inner Mongolia autonomous region (Inner Mongolia),and to observe the prevalence of arterial stiffness in the two populations.Methods A total of 922 volunteers aged between 45 and 59 from Shanghai and Inner Mongolia were selected by stratified cluster random sample method.BaPWV was measured and related data were collected.Results A total of 903 cases were enrolled in this study,including 441 from Shanghai and 462 from Inner Mongolia.The baPWV value of middle-aged residents in Inner Mongolia was higher than that in Shanghai [(1 548 ± 281) cm/s and (1 476 ± 254) cm/s,P ＜ 0.001].The abnormal rate of baPWV (baPWV ≥ 1 400 cm/s) in Inner Mongolia was also higher than that in Shanghai [67.5 ％ (312) and 57.4％ (253),P ＜0.001].The baPWV value of middle-aged men in Inner Mongolia was (1 568 ±299) cm/s,while it was (1 508 ± 260) cm/s in Shanghai,no statistical difference was found (P ＞ 0.05).The baPWV value of middle-aged women in Inner Mongolia was (1 534 ± 268) cm/s,which was higher than that of Shanghai [(1 468 ±252)cm/s,P ＜0.01].The abnormal rate of baPWV of middle-aged men in Inner Mongolia and Shanghai was 67.0％ (126/188) and 60.8％ (59/97),respectively (P ＞ 0.05).The abnormal rate of baPWV of middle-aged women in Inner Mongolia and Shanghai was 67.9％ (186/274) and 56.4％(194/344),respectively.Conclusions The difference of baPWV value and abnormal rate of baPWV of middle-aged residents between Inner Mongolia and Shanghai exists.Middle-aged people in Inner Mongolia should be more alert to the incidence of arteriosclerosis and cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.

Objective: To determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection in dogs and cats in Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, Eastern China, and to evaluate the main associated risk factors relating to exposure to T. gondii in this region. Methods: Sera from 160 dogs and 116 cats from Zhenjiang City were tested for anti-T. gondii antibodies using ELISA. The seropositivity by area of activity, sex and age was analyzed. Results: Overall, 21 dogs (13.1%) and 24 cats (20.7%) had antibodies to T. gondii. The infection rate in stray dogs (38.7%) and cats (28.6%) was significantly higher (P<0.05) than in household dogs (6.9%) and cats (18.2%). The seroprevalence in male dogs (14.8%) and cats (21.05%) were slightly higher than their female counterparts (11.4% in dogs and 20.0% in cats), but were not significantly differenent (P>0.05). A high proportion of dogs at 3 to 6 years of age were positive to T. gondii (20.0%) while cats with relatively high seropositivity rates were at 0 to 1 year of age (33.3%). Conclusions: The prevalence of T. gondii infection in dogs and cats in Zhenjiang City was high, which is probably the main source of T. gondii infection in this area.

Objective To investigate epidemiological characteristics and differences in anklebrachial index (ABI) among the natural population in Shanghai and Inner Mongolia,and to observe the prevalence of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD).Methods A total of 2604 volunteers from Shanghai and Inner Mongolia were selected by stratified cluster random sample.ABI was measured and related data were collected.Results The A BI value in Shanghai was 1.074 ± 0.095,while it was 1.062 ±0.075 in Inner Mongolia (P ＜ 0.001).The prevalence of lower extremity PAD in Shanghai was 4.2％,while it was 1.9％ in Inner Mongolia (P ＜ 0.01).For males,the ABI value in Shanghai was 1.078 ±0.105,and it was 1.075 ± 0.080 in Inner Mongolia (P ＞ 0.05).For females,the ABI value in Shanghai was 1.073 ±0.089,while it was 1.052 ±0.070 in Inner Mongolia (P ＜0.001).For males,the prevalence of lower extremity PAD of the in Shanghai was 4.7％,while it was 2.0％ in Inuer Mongolia (P ＜ 0.05).For females,the prevalence of lower extremity PAD of in Shanghai was 4.0％,while it was 1.8％ in Inner Mongolia (P ＜ 0.05).The ABI values in age group of ＜ 50 years in Shanghai and Inner Mongolia were 1.037 ± 0.082 and 1.055 ± 0.068,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).The prevalences of lower extremity PAD in age group of ＜50 years in Shanghai and Inner Mongolia were 7.6％ and 1.2％,respectively (P ＜0.001).There were no significant differences in ABI value and the prevalence of lower extremity PAD between Shanghai and Inner Mongolia in both age group of 50-69 years and ≥70 years (all P values ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The ABI value in Shanghai is higher than that in Inner Mongolia and the prevalence of lower extremity PAD in both males and females in Shanghai is significantly higher than that in Inner Mongolia.But they are lower than the level of western countries.In different age groups,the difference of the prevalence of lower extremity PAD between Shanghai and Inner Mongolia is only displayed in the age group of ＜ 50 years,which may be related to the limited sample size.The natural population in Shanghai exposed artery atherosclerotic disease risk factors may increase and we need to pay more attention to the lower extremity PAD.
