From October 2021 to February 2023, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of six patients (three male and three female, median age: 54 years, age range: 29-73 years) with mast cell leukemia (MCL) diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (The Mastocytosis Collaborative Network of China). All patients had acute MCL, with at least one C-finding present. The main clinical presentations were hypoalbuminemia ( n=4), fatigue ( n=3), fever ( n=2), abdominal discomfort ( n=2), osteolytic lesions ( n=2), dizziness ( n=1), skin flushing ( n=1), and weight loss ( n=1). Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy were noted in six and three patients, respectively. Six patients were strongly positive for CD117, five were positive for CD30 and CD25, and four were positive for CD2. Four patients had a normal karyotype and two patients had an abnormal karyotype. Gene mutations were detected in 4/6 cases. The median serum tryptase level was 24.9 (range: 20.1-171.9) μg/L. Two patients were treated with venetoclax and azacitidine for induction (one patient achieved partial remission by combination with afatinib, while there was no remission after combination with dasatinib in the other patient). Two patients did not achieve complete remission despite treatment with cladribine and imatinib, respectively. One patient treated with interferon combined with glucocorticoids was lost to follow-up, and one patient abandoned treatment. The follow-up time ranged from 1.1 to 21.7 months. Three patients died and two survived. Overall, MCL is a rare subtype of systemic mastocytosis with heterogeneous clinical course, and these patients have poor outcome. A better understanding of the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of MCL is urgently needed.

Objective:To investigate the application value of modified multivisceral trans-plantation (MMT) in chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) secondary to autoimmune enteril leiomyositis (AEL).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinico-pathological data of a recipient who was admitted to Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital Affiliated to Tsinghua University on February 2022 and underwent MTT for CIPO secondary to AEL were collected. The recipient was a male, aged 29 years old. Results of preoperative histopathological examination showed that there were muscle plexus and ganglion cells in the rectum, sigmoid colon, ascending colon, intrinsic muscle layer of ileum, and a small amount of submucosal layer. There was also a small amount of chronic inflammatory cell infiltration in the muscle, indicating a high possi-bility of diagnosis of neurogenic CIPO.Results:(1) Surgical situations. The operation time was 14 hours and 30 minutes, and the cold ischemia time was 9 hours and 30 minutes. The intra-operative blood product dosage included 14 U of red blood cells, 1 400 mL of fresh frozen plasma, and two therapeutic doses of platelets. (2) Postoperative histopathological examination. Results of postoperative histopathological examination showed chronic inflammation and local erosion of the small intestine and duodenal mucosa, with scattered disappearance of the focal mucosal muscle layer; There is a large infiltration of CD3 + and CD8 + lymphocytes in the lamina propria, especially in the muscularis propria. In severe lesions, there is infiltration of ribbon lymphocytes in the subserosal and muscular layers; Muscle fiber degeneration, reduction, and fibrosis. Deposition of pigment granules in the cytoplasm of smooth muscle cells; No abnormalities were found in the intermuscular, submu-cosal ganglia, and Cajal cells; Fibrosis of the serosal layer with local cellulose exudation; Chronic inflammation of the colonic mucosa, scattered and focal lymphocyte infiltration in the local muscle layer, and myositis related changes. Pathological diagnosis was secondary CIPO induced by AEL. (3) Postoperative immune rejection, recurrence and treatment. Results of colonoscopy and histopatholo-gical examination at postoperative 8 days showed acute cellular rejection. The cell count of reci-pient′s B lymphocytes, CD3 + lymphocytes, CD4 + lymphocytes, and CD8 + lymphocytes were 27.00×10 3, 373.00×10 3, 179.00×10 3 and 142.00×10 3 cell/mL, respectively. Anti-immune rejection treatment was performed using tacrolimus, rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin, methylprednisolone mycophenolate mofetil, and monoclonal antibodies against basil. The cell count of recipient′s B lymphocytes, CD3 + lymphocytes, CD4 + lymphocytes, and CD8 + lymphocytes at postoperative 57 days were 0.72×10 3, 239.59×10 3, 89.28×10 3 and 91.53×10 3 cell/mL, respectively. Results of colonoscopy and histopathological examination at postoperative 79 days showed the recurrence of AEL. The cell count of recipient′s B lymphocytes, CD3 + lymphocytes, CD4 + lymphocytes, and CD8 + lymphocytes were 0.32×10 3, 264.92×10 3, 46.95×10 3 and 169.54×10 3 cell/mL, respectively. The tacrolimus and methylprednisolone were used for treatment. Results of colonoscopy and histopathological examina-tion at postoperative 89 days showed AEL recurrence without remission. The cell count of recipient′s B lymphocytes, CD3 + lymphocytes, CD4 + lympho-cytes, and CD8 + lymphocytes were 0.28×10 3, 187.00×10 3, 55.52×10 3 and 92.45×10 3 cell/mL, respec-tively. The tacrolimus and methylprednisolone were used for treatment. Results of colonoscopy and histopathological examination at postoperative 92 days showed the intestinal mucosa had returned to a normal state. (4) Postoperative oral feeding time and time to get rid of parenteral nutrition. The recipient began oral feeding at postoperative 28 days and eliminated parenteral nutrition at postoperative 35 days. (5) Follow-up. The recipient was discharged 114 days after surgery and as of the follow-up deadline, the graft function was good. The recipient maintained a low-fat, high sugar, and high protein diet, completely consumed orally, with a body mass index of 22 kg/m 2, and has returned to normal work. Conclusion:MMT can be used for the treatment of CIPO secondary to AEL.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 85 newly diagnosed patients with follicular lymphoma (FL), as well as the prognostic value of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in patients with FL aged ≥ 60 years old.Methods:The clinical data and prognosis of 85 newly diagnosed FL patients admitted from August 2011 to June 2022 were collected. The clinical features, laboratory indicators, therapeutic efficacy, survival and prognostic factors of patients were statistically analyzed, and the prognosis of patients was stratified using various geriatric assessment tools.Results:① The patients with FL were mostly middle-aged and older, with a median age of 59 (20-87) years, including 41 patients (48.2%) aged ≥60 years. The ratio of male to female was 1∶1.36. Overall, 77.6% of the patients were diagnosed with Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, and 17 cases (20.0%) were accompanied by B symptoms. Bone marrow involvement was the most common (34.1%). ②Overall, 71 patients received immunochemotherapy. The overall response rate was 86.6%, and the complete recovery rate was 47.1% of 68 evaluated patients. Disease progression or relapse in the first 2 years was observed in 23.9% of the patient. Overall, 14.1% of the patients died during follow-up. ③Of the 56 patients receiving R-CHOP-like therapies, the 3-year and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 85.2% and 72.8%, respectively, and the 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 95.9% and 88.8%, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that age ≥60 years old ( HR=3.430, 95% CI 1.256-9.371, P=0.016), B symptoms ( HR=5.030, 95% CI 1.903-13.294, P=0.016), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) <45.25 ( HR=3.478, 95% CI 1.299-9.310, P=0.013), Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) high-risk ( HR=2.918, 95% CI 1.074-7.928, P=0.036), and PRIMA-prognostic index (PRIMA-PI) high-risk ( HR=2.745, 95% CI 1.057-7.129, P=0.038) significantly predicted PFS. Moreover, age ≥60 years old and B symptoms were independent risk factors for PFS. Progression of disease within 24 months (POD24) significantly predicted OS in the univariate analysis. Conclusions:FL is more common among middle-aged and older women. Age, B symptoms, PNI score, FLIPI high-risk, PRIMA-PI high-risk, and POD24 influenced PFS and OS. The CGA can be used for treatment selection and risk prognostication in older patients with FL.

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.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To evaluate our self-designed pre-positioned 3D honeycomb guide device in the internal fixation with percutaneous cannulated screws for femoral neck fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 60 patients with femoral neck fracture who had been treated with cannulated screw fixation at Department of Orthopaedics, Kunshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2019 to June 2022. According to the difference in intraoperative positioning for placement of cannulated screws, the patients were divided into a study group of 30 cases whose placement of cannulated screws was assisted by our self-designed pre-positioned 3D honeycomb guide device, and a control group of 30 cases whose cannulated screws were positioned freehand. In the study group, there were 17 males and 13 females with an age of (44.9±9.2) years, and 2 cases of type Ⅱ, 18 cases of type Ⅲ, and 10 cases of type Ⅳ by the Garden classification. In the control group, there were 11 males and 19 females with an age of (43.5±7.9) years), and 1 case of type Ⅱ, 16 cases of type Ⅲ, and 13 cases of type Ⅳ by the Garden classification. Closed reduction and inverted triangle internal fixation with 3 cannulated screws were conducted for all fractures. The Garden crossline index, operation time, fluoroscopy frequency, needle drillings, fracture healing time, and Harris hip functional score at the last follow-up were compared between the 2 groups. The postoperative imaging indicators in the 2 groups were measured, including screw spacing, distance from screw to neck cortex, screw coverage area, parallel deviation between screws, and deviation from screw to neck axis.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (14.4±1.9) months after surgery. In the study group, operation time [(33.1±5.5) min], fluoroscopy frequency [(13.7±2.2) times], needle drillings [(3.7±0.6) times], distance from screw to neck cortex [(12.4±2.8) mm], parallel deviation between screws in the anteroposterior view (2.2°±1.1°), parallel deviation between screws in the lateral view (2.4°±1.0°), deviation from screw to neck axis in the anteroposterior view (4.0°±0.9°) and deviation from screw to neck axis in the lateral view (3.2°±0.8°) were all significantly smaller than those in the control group [(46.5±8.6) min, (23.1±5.2) times, (11.0±2.2) times, (19.0±3.3) mm, 6.5°±2.6°, 7.1°±2.9°, 7.7°±2.6°, and 9.2°±3.1°] (all P<0.05). The screw spacing [(45.7±5.8) mm] and screw coverage area [(74.1±10.9) mm 2] in the study group were both significantly larger than those in the control group [(31.3±7.7) mm and (55.5±9.0) mm 2] ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in Garden crossline index, fracture healing time, follow-up time, or Harris hip functional score at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Follow-ups revealed 1 case of bone non-union in the study group and 2 cases of bone non-union and screw withdrawal in the control group, but no such complications as infection, deep vein thrombosis, screw penetration or rupture, or femoral head necrosis in either group. Conclusion:In the internal fixation with percutaneous cannulated screws for the treatment of femoral neck fractures, our self-designed pre-positioned 3D honeycomb guide device can shorten surgical time, significantly reduce fluoroscopy frequency and needle drillings, and effectively improve accuracy of screw placement.
