Trauma is the main cause of death and disability. Patients with severe trauma have hemorrhagic shock, traumatic coagulopathy and other diseases, which increase the risk of death. Platelets are important in the hemostatic response, but their function is rapidly dysregulated in trauma patients, leading to traumatic coagulopathy, blood loss, and early death. In addition to their role in hemostasis, platelets act as coordinators of the initial immune response, which can lead to immunothrombosis, organ dysfunction, and increased late mortality. At present, the treatment of post traumatic platelet dysfunction is mainly based on early hemostasis, and late prevention and treatment of thrombosis and organ dysfunction. In this review, the characteristics, underlying mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment strategies of platelet dysfunction in different periods are summarized, to provide ideas for studying the mechanism of platelet dysfunction after trauma and the treatment strategy for trauma patients.

Nitrogen dioxide(NO 2)is a prevalent air pollutant that poses significant threats to the environment and human health,emphasizing the urgent need for high-performance NO 2 sensors for effective environmental monitoring at room temperature.Sensors based on metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising candidates for gas detection at room temperature,but their long-term stability remains a major challenge.In this study,a methylamine thiocyanate(MT)-doped FA 0.8Cs 0.2PbI 2Br(PVK)gas sensor(MT-PVK)was prepared using a simple one-step spin-coating method and ethyl acetate(EA)anti-solvent extraction technique.The crystalline structure,chemical composition,and particle morphology of the MT-PVK thin film were characterized.The MT-PVK thin film was then utilized as a gas sensor for NO 2 detection at room temperature.The results demonstrated that the sensor exhibited outstanding selectivity and reversibility at low concentrations of NO 2 gas,with a detection limit as low as 33 ppb(10-9,nL/L).For 10 ppm(10-6,μL/L)NO 2,the sensor showed rapid response and recovery time of only 1.6 s and 27 s,outperforming most traditional metal oxide NO 2 sensors.Furthermore,compared to the original PVK,the MT molecules significantly enhanced the structural and sensing stability of the MT-PVK sensor under high humidity conditions(55%±5%).These findings suggested that MT-doped FA 0.8Cs 0.2PbI 2Br perovskite gas sensors offered a promising pathway for the development of rapid-response gas sensing technologies suitable for room temperature operation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the targeting effect of folic acid-modified crebanine nanoparticles （FA-Cre@PEG- PLGA NPs， hereinafter referred to as “NPs”） combined with ultrasound irradiation on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo after administration， and explore the anti-tumor mechanism. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the proliferation of M109 cells， and the best ultrasound time was selected. Using human lung cancer A549 cells as a control， the targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation to M109 cells was evaluated by free folic acid blocking assay and cell uptake assay. The effects of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the migration， invasion， apoptosis， cell cycle and reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels of M109 cells were detected by cell scratch test， Transwell chamber test and flow cytometry at 1 h after 958401536@qq.com administration； the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP） were observed by fluorescence inverted microscope. A mouse subcutaneous tumor model of M109 cells was constructed， and the in vivo tumor targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation was investigated by small animal in vivo imaging technology. RESULTS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could significantly inhibit the proliferation of M109 cells， and the optimal ultrasound time was 1 h after administration. The free folic acid could antagonize the inhibitory effect of NPs on the proliferation of M109 cells， and combined with ultrasound irradiation could partially reverse this antagonism. Compared with A549 cells， the uptake rate of NPs in M109 cells was significantly higher （P＜0.01）， and ultrasound irradiation could promote cellular uptake. NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could inhibit the migration and invasion of M109 cells and block the cell cycle in the G0/G1 and G2/M phases. Compared with control group， the apoptosis rate of M109 cells and ROS level were increased significantly （P＜0.01）， while the MMP decreased significantly （P＜0.01） in the different concentration （100， 200， 300 μg/mL） groups of M109 cells. Compared with the mice in non-ultrasound group， the fluorescence intensity and tumor-targeting index of the tumor site in the 0 h ultrasound group were significantly enhanced （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation have a strong targeting effect on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo， the anti-tumor mechanism includes inhibiting cell migration and invasion， blocking cell cycle， and inducing apoptosis.

Neurosyphilis is a group of clinical syndromes caused by treponema pallidum invading the central nervous system and causing varying degrees of damage to the brain parenchyma, brain (spinal) membrane or spinal cord. Cerebral syphilitic gumma is the rarest form of neurosyphilis, and its clinical manifestations lack specificity, which is easily confused with other intracranial space occupying lesions on imaging. In this article, a patient with cognitive dysfunction, intracranial hypertension, and imaging findings similar to multicentric glioma was diagnosed as cerebral syphilitic gumma by serology, cerebrospinal fluid test and brain histopathology. The symptoms basically disappeared after treatment with standard penicillin. This report aims to raise awareness of cerebral syphilitic gumma in order to reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Objective By establishing a model to screen out patients with potentially large positional deviations based on their abdominal circumference,personalized solutions can be taken to address setup errors in these patients and ensure treatment efficacy.Methods A total of 81 patients treated at Tianjin People's Hospital from May 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects.The correlations between setup errors in the lateral,longitudinal,and vertical directions and abdominal circumference were analyzed.Subsequently,linear regression was performed for the direction with a significant correlation to abdominal circumference to establish a linear regression model.Finally,the 81 patients were divided into a normal setup group and an abnormal setup group with 0.7 cm as the critical value.A receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted,and the maximum Youden index was calculated to determine the optimal cutoff value for identifying patients prone to abnormal setup.Results The correlation analysis of abdominal circumference and setup errors in various directions showed that the correlation coefficient between abdominal circumference and longitudinal direction positioning error was 0.406 2,and the correlation was statistically significant and positively correlated.The correlation coefficients for abdominal circumference and the lateral as well as longitudinal directions were-0.117 5 and-0.067 47,respectively,with P values greater than 0.05,indicating no statistical significance.A linear regression model was established for abdominal circumference and longitudinal direction,and the results showed an R2of 0.165,with a regression coefficient B of 0.008(t=3.951,P<0.01),indicating that the model was well constructed.ROC curve analysis showed an area under the curve of 0.715,with a 95%confidence interval of 0.57-0.86 and a maximum Youden index of 0.478.The corresponding optimal cutoff value was determined to be at 87 cm,with sensitivity at 0.875 and specificity at 0.603.Conclusion The abdominal circumference is significant to diagnose whether the longitudinal setup error is abnormal.Patients with an abdominal circumference greater than 87 cm are more likely to experience abnormal positioning during radiotherapy,which is reflected in the longitudinal setup errors being the largest.It is recommended to provide individualized target area margins for patients with an abdominal circumference greater than 87 cm,or perform daily cone-beam computed tomography to correct setup errors,thereby ensuring target coverage and treatment efficacy.

BACKGROUND:Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative disease that has become one of the most common and frequent diseases threatening human health.At present,the initial diagnosis of the cervical spine and its surrounding structures mainly relies on the interpretation of medical images by radiologists,which not only requires a high level of technical requirements for operators,but also has the disadvantages of strong subjectivity,high labor intensity,and low efficiency.With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology,its powerful data processing and image recognition capabilities have shown broad application prospects in the medical field.Deep learning has also made certain progress in the research of spinal diseases.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the current status and research progress in the application of artificial intelligence technology in cervical spine imaging images in recent years,evaluating the performance of artificial intelligence models as well as future trends and challenges to be overcome.METHODS:The first author searched the relevant articles in WanFang,CNKI,and PubMed in June 2024.The Chinese search terms were"artificial intelligence,deep learning,cervical spine."English serach terms were"artificial intelligence,Al,cervical vertebrae,cervical."Finally,101 articles were included and analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Artificial intelligence technology can realize automatic segmentation of cervical vertebrae and measurement of curvature change by segmentation,classification,landmarks recognition of medical image parts,detect cervical vertebral fracture,nerve root,and spinal cord type cervical spondylosis,identify cervical spine ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament,and predict post-surgery related risk factors and cervical vertebra maturation classification.(2)Although artificial intelligence technology has shown great potential in the field of cervical spine research,it is still in the early stages of exploration and rapid development,with unlimited room for development and innovation.

Objective:To analyze the cost-effectiveness of high-flux hemodialysis compared to low-flux hemodialysis in the treat-ment of End-Stage Renal Disease(ESRD)patients.Methods:Based on a literature review,a cost-effectiveness analysis model was established,using the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio(ICER)as the outcome indicator to evaluate the economic value of high-flux versus low-flux hemodialysis.One-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were conducted to further assess the robustness of the results.Results:In the treatment of ESRD patients,compared to low-flux hemodialysis,the ICER of high-flux hemodialysis was 234 882 yuan per QALY.The key factors influencing the model results were the cost discount rate,ef-fect discount rate,utility value of high-flux hemodialysis,and treatment costs.Conclusion:Compared to low-flux hemodialysis,high-flux hemodialysis demonstrates a cost-effectiveness advantage at a willingness-to-pay threshold of three times GDP per capita.

Objective To analyze the correlation between hemoglobin(Hb),anemia,and sarcopenia in the elderly population in Chongqing communities.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on elderly individuals who underwent healthy examinations at 5 community health service centers in Chongqing from March to August 2023.Demographic characteristics,social factors,body composition measurement,grip strength,6-meter gait speed and blood tests were assessed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was utilized to evaluate the accuracy of Hb in predicting sarcopenia,and the Youden index was employed to determine the optimal Hb cut-off value for diagnosing sarcopenia and its components.Both unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the relationship between Hb and anemia with sarcopenia and its components.Results A total of 531 elderly populations were included,with an average age of(71.1±6.5)years.The overall prevalence of sarcopenia was 13.6%(72/531),including 29 males(40.3%)and 43 females(59.7%).Unadjusted analyses showed that Hb was correlated with sarcopenia,decreased muscle mass,slower gait speed,and reduced grip strength(P<0.05).After adjusting for all potential risk factors,Hb was still significantly associated with sarcopenia and reduced grip strength(P<0.05).For every 10 g/L increase in Hb,the risk of sarcopenia decreased by 2.3%,and the risk of reduced grip strength decreased by 1.7%(P<0.05).Anemia was correlated with sarcopenia,reduced muscle mass,and decreased grip strength in unadjusted analyses(P<0.05),while the correlation between anemia and reduced grip strength remained significant after adjustment for all potential risk factors(P<0.05).The optimal Hb cut-off value for diagnosing sarcopenia in males and females were 148 g/L and 128 g/L,respectively.Conclusions Hb is an independent risk factor for sarcopenia and reduced grip strength.Anemia is associated with sarcopenia,but is not an independent risk factor for sarcopenia.

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of transabdominal intestinal ultrasound (IUS) and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) for intestinal stenosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the imaging features of 51 IBD patients who underwent both IUS and MRE at Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University,between January 2021 and February 2025.With endoscopy as the gold standard,the diagnostic performance of the two methods was compared. Results The sensitivity (84.2% vs. 52.6%,P=0.008) and accuracy (66.7% vs. 45.1%,P=0.035) of IUS for stenosis were higher than those of MRE.In the localization of stenosis,IUS demonstrated higher sensitivity than MRE for detecting stenosis in the terminal ileum (78.6% vs. 35.7%,P=0.070) and colorectum (86.7% vs. 53.3%,P=0.060).Furthermore,IUS showed higher diagnostic accuracy than MRE for terminal ileum stenosis (70.6% vs. 29.4%,P=0.039).The intestinal wall thickness[(8.2±2.7) mm vs. (10.3±3.8) mm;t=3.20,P=0.002)] and stenosis inner diameter[(3.0±1.6) mm vs. (4.3±1.8) mm;t=2.15,P=0.035] measured by IUS were lower than those measured by MRE,with a moderate level of consistency (ICC:0.19-0.53).In addition,IUS demonstrated a higher detection rate for mesenteric fat hypertrophy (70.6% vs. 27.5%,Kappa=0.27,P=0.005),whereas MRE was more sensitive in detecting lymphadenopathy (90.2% vs. 56.9%,Kappa=0.16,P=0.080). Conclusions IUS is superior to MRE in the diagnosis and localization sensitivity for intestinal stenosis in IBD.However,the two methods showcase poor consistency in detecting and quantitating some inflammatory signs.IUS can be used as a first-line screening method for diagnosing intestinal stenosis in IBD patients,while its clinical application should be combined with specific needs to optimize diagnosis.
