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 explore the role of mobile phone addiction and anxiety symptoms in the relationship between childhood psychological abuse and depressive symptoms among college students, in order to provide a basis for mental health promotion. Methods: From February to May 2023, a stratified random sampling method was used to select 1 799 freshmen to juniors from a university in Wuhu City, Anhui Province. The questionnaire survey was conducted using the 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2), Child Psychological Maltreatment Scale (CPMS), Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS), 2-item General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-2). Correlations among each variable were analyzed, and the chain mediating effect of mobile phone addiction and anxiety symptoms was explored. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptoms among college students was 9.7%, and the positive detection rate of childhood psychological abuse was 28.6%. Depressive symptoms were positively correlated with childhood psychological abuse, mobile phone addiction and anxiety symptoms ( r =0.28, 0.32, 0.27, P <0.01). Childhood psychological abuse was positively correlated with mobile phone addiction and anxiety symptoms ( r =0.29, 0.71, P <0.01). Mobile phone addiction and anxiety symptoms were positively correlated ( r =0.30, P <0.01). Childhood psychological abuse could effectively predict depressiove symptoms, mobile phone addiction and anxiety symptoms ( β =0.08, 0.06, 0.66, P <0.01). Mobile phone addiction and anxiety symptoms had a chain mediating effect between childhood psychological abuse and depression symptoms, with a total indirect mediating effect (effect=25.27%, P <0.05), accounting for 72.44% of the total effect. Conclusions Mobile phone addiction and anxiety symptoms play a chain mediating role between childhood psychological abuse and depressive symptoms. Focusing on childhood psychological abuse, mobile phone addiction and anxiety among college students are beneficial for depression symptoms prevention.

Börjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS) is a rare X-linked intellectual disability. The main features of the patients include intellectual disability/global developmental delay, characteristic face, anomalies of fingers and toes, hypogonadism, linear skin hyperpigmentation, and tooth abnormalities in female patients, and obesity in male patients. A case of BFLS caused by a novel mutation of PHF6 gene who was treated in the Department of Pediatrics, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University was reported. The 11 months old girl presented the following symptons: Global developmental delay, characteristic face, sparse hair, ocular hypertelorism, flat nasal bridge, hairy anterior to the tragus, thin upper lip, dental anomalies, ankyloglossia, simian line, tapering fingers, camptodactylia, and linear skin hyperpigmentation. The gene results of the second-generation sequencing technology showed that there was a novel heterozygous mutation site c.346C>T (p.Arg116*) of the PHF6 (NM032458.3), variation rating as pathogenic variation. During the follow-up, the patient developed astigmatism, strabismus, awake bruxism, and stereotyped behavior, and the linear skin hyperpigmentation became gradually more evident. The disease is lack of effective therapy so far.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations and determine the molecular etiology for three KCNMA1-related neurological disorders.Methods:A retrospective clinical data analysis was performed on 3 patients with clinically and genetically diagnosed neurological diseases related to KCNMA1 gene variants who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Pediatrics, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2020 to December 2022.Results:Case 1, a 4-year-old and 8-month-old female, was diagnosed with " episodes of head-raising and lowering for 11 months". The electroencephalogram (EEG) showed background theta rhythm in the occipital area, with mainly sharp waves and peaks in the bilateral central, parietal, occipital and temporal areas. Slow waves were scattered or paroxysmal, affecting the central, parietal, and temporal areas on the right side. Levetiracetam was given as an anti-epileptic treatment, and the seizures were completely controlled. Physical examination revealed unclear articulation and short stature. The patient′s mental development has been delayed since childhood. After 2 years of rehabilitation treatment, his motor development was normal and his language development was slightly delayed. Whole-exome sequencing found a novel c. 1807A>G (p.Thr603Ala) mutation in the KCNMA1 gene, which was graded likely pathogenic (LP). Case 2, a male, 1 year and 4 months old, went to the hospital because of " recurrent stupor attacks for more than 6 months". Nearly 20 epileptic events were detected on the electroencephalogram. Levetiracetam, sodium valproate and clonazepam were administered successively. Seizure treatment, complete seizure control. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed poor cerebellar development. Development was lagging behind that of normal children of the same age. Whole-exome sequencing found a novel c. 756C>A (p.Phe252Leu) mutation in the KCNMA1 gene, which was graded LP. Case 3, a 16-month-old female, went to the hospital because of " trembling upper limbs, slurred speech for more than 10 years, and unsteady gait for 8 years." The electroencephalogram showed no abnormalities, and brain MRI showed cerebellar atrophy. Physical examination: unclear speech, unsteady grasping of objects with both hands, muscle strength of limbs level 4, and ataxic gait. Whole-exome sequencing found a novel c. 1051T>C (p.Ser351Pro) mutation in the KCNMA1 gene, which was graded LP.Conclusions:The core phenotypes of KCNMA1 gene mutation-related neurological diseases include epilepsy, neurodevelopmental disorders and paroxysmal dyskinesia, and cerebellar atrophy is common in brain MRI.

Objective: To examine the associations between plasma n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the second trimester and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among Chinese pregnant women. Methods: Based on data from the Tongji-Shuangliu Birth Cohort enrolled from 2017 to 2019 in the Shuangliu Maternal and Child Health Hospital, it conducted a case-control study among 269 GDM cases who were diagnosed by 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, and 538 non-GDM controls matched at a 1∶2 ratio on maternal age and gestational weeks. The age range of the 807 women was 18-40 years. Fasting plasma n-3 PUFAs were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the second trimester (24-28 weeks). Participants were categorized into quartiles (Q1-Q4) of plasma n-3 PUFAs based on distributions in the control group. Conditional logistic regression models were applied to estimate the associations between plasma n-3 PUFAs and GDM. Results: The median (interquartile) relative concentrations of plasma n-3 PUFA C22∶5n-3 was significantly lower in women with GDM 0.87 (0.72, 1.07) compared with women without GDM 0.94 (0.75, 1.19)(P=0.001). Plasma n-3 PUFA C22∶5n-3 was inversely associated with GDM, with an OR (95%CI) of 0.75 (0.62-0.90) for each SD increase of relative concentration. Compared with the Q1 group, the OR values and 95%CIs of Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups were 0.97 (0.62-1.51), 0.72 (0.45-1.15), and 0.54 (0.32-0.90), respectively (P_trend<0.05). However, there were no significant associations of C18∶3n-3, C20∶5n-3, C22∶6n-3, and total n-3 PUFAs with GDM. Conclusion: Plasma n-3 PUFA C22∶5n-3 was inversely associated with GDM during the second trimester.

Objective:To observe the effect of project-based learning (PBL) in the clinical teaching of radiation physics.Methods:Thirty-two residents specializing in radiotherapy were included in the study. In the experimental group ( n=16), PBL was adopted, while traditional clinical teaching method was employed in the control group ( n=16). After the rotation, the assessment was conducted, as well as a questionnaire survey was performed, including five aspects: overall satisfaction, understanding of radiation physics knowledge, learning motivation, learning burden, and learning efficiency. Results:The assessment score in the experimental group was 86.31±5.41, which was higher than 75.28±5.91 in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. Residents in the experimental group were satisfied with the effect of PBL.Conclusion:Compared with the traditional teaching method, PBL can improve the learning motivation, efficiency, and performance of radiotherapy residents, which is highly recognized by the residents.

OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of glucose metabolism disorders on the short-term prognosis in neonates with asphyxia. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data of the neonates with asphyxia who were admitted to 52 hospitals in Hubei Province of China from January to December, 2018 and had blood glucose data within 12 hours after birth. Their blood glucose data at 1, 2, 6, and 12 hours after birth (with an allowable time error of 0.5 hour) were recorded. According to the presence or absence of brain injury and/or death during hospitalization, the neonates were divided into a poor prognosis group with 693 neonates and a good prognosis group with 779 neonates. The two groups were compared in the incidence of glucose metabolism disorders within 12 hours after birth and short-term prognosis. RESULTS: Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had a significantly higher proportion of neonates from secondary hospitals (48.5% vs 42.6%, CONCLUSIONS Recurrent hyperglycemia in neonates with asphyxia may suggest poor short-term prognosis, and it is necessary to strengthen the early monitoring and management of the nervous system in such neonates.

Representativeness has long been a contentious topic in epidemiology. The review starts with defining representativeness in epidemiology and describing fundamental epidemiological concepts including study population, source population, target population, internal validity, and external validity. In addition, it elaborates the role and practicality of representativeness in four major epidemiological study designs including cross-sectional, cohort, case-control, and intervention studies. In summary, representativeness is an important consideration in cross-sectional studies of investigating disease or health status in the target population, but cannot be overstated in epidemiological studies for causal inferences regarding exposure-outcome relationships or intervention effects.
