Forensic medicine has been designated as a first-level discipline,presenting new opportunities and challenges for the development of forensic medicine.Since the 1980s,the establishment of foren-sic medicine discipline and the cultivation of high-level forensic talents have become hot topics in the development of forensic medicine in China.Since the 13th Five-Year Plan,the forensic team of Shanxi Medical University has been aiming at the forefront,proposing the development goals of"Five First-class"and the discipline development path"Six Major Achievements".It has selected benchmark disci-plines,identified gaps in disciplinary development,unified thoughts,formulated completion timelines,concentrated superior resources,assigned tasks to individuals,and created an"Organized Fill-in-the-Blank Format"forensic medicine discipline construction model with the characteristics of the new era.The construction model of forensic medicine has achieved good results in the goals,discipline frame-work,scientific research,talent cultivation,discipline team and platform construction,forming a rela-tively complete discipline construction and management system,and accumulating valuable experience for the construction of first-level discipline and high-level talent cultivation of forensic medicine.

Objective:To explore the clinical outcome of internal fixation in the treatment of AO C-type distal radius fracture accompanied with dorsoulnar fragment involving 1/8 to 1/3 of the articular surface of the lunate facet.Methods:A total of 55 patients of AO C-type distal radius fracture accompanied with dorsoulnar fragment involving 1/8 to 1/3 of the articular surface of the lunate facet from July 2017 to July 2022 in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University were retrospectively analyzed. In the volar plate group (volar locking plate treatment alone), there were 22 cases, 11 males and 11 females, aged 56.7±10.1 years, 10 C1 type, 7 C2 type and 5 C3 type. There were 15 patients in the volar plate+dorsal plate group (treated with volar locking plate combined with dorsal plate), including 6 males and 9 females, aged 55.7±8.1 years old, 4 C1 type, 5 C2 type and 6 C3 type. In the volar plate+dorsal screw group (treated with volar locking plate combined with dorsal screw), there were 18 cases, 8 males and 10 females, aged 53.5±11.6 years, 7 cases of C1 type, 5 cases of C2 type, and 6 cases of C3 type. The operation time, postoperative radiographic indicators, wrist range of motion (ROM), disability of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and postoperative complications were evaluated and compared between the three groups.Results:All operations were successfully completed. Patients were followed up for 14.9 ± 2.2 months (range, 12-18 months), and the fracture healing time was 12.4±2.3 weeks (range, 9-16 weeks). The operative time of patients in the volar plate group, volar plate+dorsal plate group and volar plate+dorsal screw group was 54.3±7.6 min, 70.7±5.9 min and 65.8± 7.1 min, respectively. Patients in the volar plate group had less operative time ( F=27.04, P<0.001). The residual displacement of the dorsoulnar fragment in sagittal, coronal, and axial CT scans in the three groups were (1.3±0.8 mm, 0.6±0.4 mm, 0.7±0.4 mm), (1.1±0.8 mm, 0.6±0.4 mm, 0.6±0.6 mm), (1.4±0.8 mm, 0.7±0.4 mm, 0.7±0.5 mm). The displacement of the dorsoulnar fragment of the two groups of combined volar and dorsal internal fixation was smaller than that of the volar plate group ( P<0.05). The ROM of wrist flexion of the three groups at 3 months after operation were 44.2°±4.6°, 47.7°±5.9°, 48.8°±5.1°, the ROM of wrist extension were 39.8°±6.2°, 44.3°± 4.6°, 44.7°±5.1°, the wrist DASH scores were 23.0±4.2, 20.1±4.1 and 19.4±3.0, and the VAS were 2.3±1.2, 1.6±1.3 and 1.3±1.0, respectively. The ROM of wrist flexion and extension and DASH score in volar plate+dorsal plate group were better than those in volar plate group ( P<0.05). The ROM of wrist flexion and extension, DASH score and VAS in the volar plate+dorsal screw group were better than those in the volar plate group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in terms of the wrist ROM, DASH score and VAS at 12 months after operation among the three groups ( P>0.05). There were 2 patients in the volar plate group with reduction loss, 3 patients with wrist chronic pain; 1 patient in the volar plate combined with dorsal plate group with dorsal tendon irritation, and no complications in the volar plate combined with dorsal screw group. Conclusion:For AO C-type distal radius fractures accompanied with a dorsoulnar fragment involving 1/8 to 1/3 of the articular surface of the lunate facet, the use of combined volar and dorsal internal fixation can improve the reduction accuracy and stability of the dorsoulnar fragment, and contribute to the early rehabilitation of postoperative wrist joint function. The effect of combined dorsal screw is comparable to that of dorsal plate internal fixation, but the complications of screw internal fixation are less.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential mechanism of the effect of ginkgo flavone aglycone （GA） against doxorubicin （DOX）-induced cardiotoxicity. METHODS The male ICR mice were randomized into control group （CON group）， model group （DOX group） and GA+DOX group （GDOX group）， with 12 mice in each group. The DOX group was injected with DOX solution at a dose of 3 mg/kg via tail vein every other day， and the GDOX group was given GA suspension intragastrically at a dose of 100 mg/kg every day+DOX solution at a dose of 3 mg/kg via tail vein every other day， for 15 consecutive days. After the end of administration， the serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase（AST）， creatine kinase（CK）， creatine kinase isoenzyme（CK- MB） and lactate dehydrogenase（LDH） in mice were detected in each group. Based on the metabolomics method， UHPLC-Q- Exactive Orbitrap HRMS method was used； based on principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares- discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）， the differentially expressed metabolites （DEMs） were screened using the criteria of variable importance in the projection≥1， fold change of peak area＞1 and P＜0.05； biological analysis was conducted based on databases such as HMDB and PubChem. RESULTS Compared with CON group， serum levels of AST， CK， CK-MB and LDH were increased significantly in DOX group （P＜0.05）； compared with DOX group， the serum levels of the above indicators （except for CK-MB） were decreased significantly in GDOX group （P＜0.05）. PCA and OPLS-DA showed that myocardial tissue samples of CON group， DOX group and GDOX group were isolated completely. After database matching， 37 common DEMs were identified， among which 17 DEMs were significantly up-regulated in the DOX group and significantly down- regulated in the GDOX group， and 8 DEMs were significantly down-regulated in the DOX group and significantly up-regulated in the GDOX group； pathway enrichment involved the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids， arachidonic acid metabolism， linoleic acid metabolism， taurine and hypotaurine metabolism； the key metabolites in the above pathways included docosahexaenoic acid， arachidonic acid， phosphatidylcholine （16∶0/18∶3） and taurine. CONCLUSIONS GA may regulate the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids， arachidonic acid metabolism and other metabolic pathways by acting on the core metabolites such as docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid， thus alleviating the cardiotoxic effects of DOX.

Objective:To establish the standard of nursing quality in bone oncology department, and provide the basis for scientific evaluation of nursing quality in bone oncology department.Methods:On the theoretical basis of Donabedian′s three-dimensional quality model of "structure-process-outcome", and through literature review and semi-structured interview method, the "evaluation index of nursing quality in bone oncology department" was preliminatively formulated from November 2022 to June 2023. The Delphi method was used to select 31 experts from 31 third-level A hospitals and nursing colleges in 27 provinces or municipalities across the country for two rounds of correspondence consultation. The criteria were screened and modified to determine the evaluation criteria of nursing quality in bone tumor specialty.Results:The questionnaire recovery rate of 2 rounds of expert consultation was 100.00%, the authority coefficient of 2 rounds of expert consultation was 0.93, and the coefficient of variation of 1, 2 and 3-grade standards were all less than or equal to 0.25. The Kendall′s coefficient of concordance of the primary standards of the two rounds of expert consultation were both 0.088, in the secondary standards were 0.103 and 0.140, in the tertiary standards were 0.119 and 0.110. Through 2 rounds of expert letter consultation, the evaluation criteria for the quality of care in bone tumor specialties were divided into three levels, including 3 primary standards (structural quality criteria, process quality criteria and outcome quality criteria), 21 secondary standards and 80 tertiary standards.Conclusions:The construction process of nursing quality standard in bone oncology department is scientific and reliable, reflecting specialty characteristics, and can provide scientific basis for the evaluation of nursing quality in bone oncology department and standardize nursing behavior.

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.

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.

Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) is a recognition protein for N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A), mediating the stability of downstream mRNA, and is a promising anti-tumor target. Based on the lead compound 1g from previous screening, this study designed and synthesized 52 IGF2BP2 small molecule inhibitors using thiazole hydrazone as the parent nucleus. Among them, 9g, 10g, 37g, 47g and 52g showed good inhibitory activities. This work represents an initial exploration in the development of small molecule inhibitors targeting IGF2BP2, using thiazolehydrazone as the core structure. It lays a foundation for subsequent related research.

Objective: To identify the risk factors in mortality of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods: Second analysis of the data collected in the "efficacy of pulmonary surfactant (PS) in the treatment of children with moderate to severe PARDS" program. Retrospective case summary of the risk factors of mortality of children with moderate to severe PARDS who admitted in 14 participating tertiary PICU between December 2016 to December 2021. Differences in general condition, underlying diseases, oxygenation index, and mechanical ventilation were compared after the group was divided by survival at PICU discharge. When comparing between groups, the Mann-Whitney U test was used for measurement data, and the chi-square test was used for counting data. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the accuracy of oxygen index (OI) in predicting mortality. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for mortality. Results: Among 101 children with moderate to severe PARDS, 63 (62.4%) were males, 38 (37.6%) were females, aged (12±8) months. There were 23 cases in the non-survival group and 78 cases in the survival group. The combined rates of underlying diseases (52.2% (12/23) vs. 29.5% (23/78), χ²=4.04, P=0.045) and immune deficiency (30.4% (7/23) vs. 11.5% (9/78), χ²=4.76, P=0.029) in non-survival patients were significantly higher than those in survival patients, while the use of pulmonary surfactant (PS) was significantly lower (8.7% (2/23) vs. 41.0% (32/78), χ²=8.31, P=0.004). No significant differences existed in age, sex, pediatric critical illness score, etiology of PARDS, mechanical ventilation mode and fluid balance within 72 h (all P>0.05). OI on the first day (11.9(8.3, 17.1) vs.15.5(11.7, 23.0)), the second day (10.1(7.6, 16.6) vs.14.8(9.3, 26.2)) and the third day (9.2(6.6, 16.6) vs. 16.7(11.2, 31.4)) after PARDS identified were all higher in non-survival group compared to survival group (Z=-2.70, -2.52, -3.79 respectively, all P<0.05), and the improvement of OI in non-survival group was worse (0.03(-0.32, 0.31) vs. 0.32(-0.02, 0.56), Z=-2.49, P=0.013). ROC curve analysis showed that the OI on the thind day was more appropriate in predicting in-hospital mortality (area under the curve= 0.76, standard error 0.05,95%CI 0.65-0.87,P<0.001). When OI was set at 11.1, the sensitivity was 78.3% (95%CI 58.1%-90.3%), and the specificity was 60.3% (95%CI 49.2%-70.4%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, sex, pediatric critical illness score and fluid load within 72 h, no use of PS (OR=11.26, 95%CI 2.19-57.95, P=0.004), OI value on the third day (OR=7.93, 95%CI 1.51-41.69, P=0.014), and companied with immunodeficiency (OR=4.72, 95%CI 1.17-19.02, P=0.029) were independent risk factors for mortality in children with PARDS. Conclusions: The mortality of patients with moderate to severe PARDS is high, and immunodeficiency, no use of PS and OI on the third day after PARDS identified are the independent risk factors related to mortality. The OI on the third day after PARDS identified could be used to predict mortality.

To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in China. A small sample self-controlled study before and after treatment was conducted to retrospective analysis patients with moderate to severe AD treated with dupilumab in the department of dermatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from July 2020 to March 2022. Dupilumab 600 mg was injected subcutaneously at week 0, and then 300 mg was injected subcutaneously every 2 weeks. The condition was evaluated by SCORAD(severity scoring of atopic dermatitis), NRS(numerical rating scale), DLQI(dermatology life quality index) and POEM(patient-oriented eczema measure). The improvement of SCORAD, NRS, DLQI and POEM was analyzed by paired t test and non-parametric paired Wilcoxon. The results showed that a total of 67 patients with moderate to severe AD received dupilumab treatment, of which 41 patients (the course of treatment was more than 6 weeks) had reduced the severity of skin lesions, improved quality of life and reduced pruritus. A total of 23 patients completed 16 weeks of treatment. At 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks, SCORAD, NRS, DLQI and POEM decreased compared with the baseline, and the differences were statistically significant. SCORAD (50.13±15.19) at baseline, SCORAD (36.08±11.96)(t=6.049,P<0.001) at week 4,SCORAD (28.04±11.10)(t=10.471,P<0.001) at week 8, SCORAD (22.93±9.72)(t=12.428,P<0.001) at week 12, SCORAD (16.84±7.82)(t=14.609,P<0.001) at week 16, NRS 7(6,8) at baseline, NRS 4(3,5)(Z=-3.861,P<0.001) at week 4, NRS 2(1,4)(Z=-4.088,P<0.001) at week 8, NRS 1(0,2)(Z=-4.206,P<0.001) at week 12, NRS 2(0,2)(Z=-4.222,P<0.001) at week 16, DLQI (13.83±5.71) at baseline, DLQI (8.00±4.02)(t=6.325,P<0.001) at week 4, DLQI (5.61±3.50)(t=8.060,P<0.001) at week 8, DLQI (3.96±1.99)(t=8.717,P<0.001) at week 12, DLQI (2.70±1.89)(t=10.355,P<0.001) at week 16, POEM (18.04±6.41) at baseline, POEM (9.70±4.70)(t=7.031,P<0.001) at week 4, POEM (7.74±3.48)(t=8.806,P<0.001) at week 8, POEM (6.35±3.33)(t=10.474,P<0.001) at week 12, POEM (4.26±2.51)(t=11.996,P<0.001) at week 16. In the 16th week, 100%(23 patients), 91.3%(21 patients), 34.8%(8 patients) and 8.7%(2 patients) of 23 patients reached SCORAD30, SCORAD50, SCORAD70, and SCORAD90 statuses, respectively. There were 82.6%(19 patients), 95.7%(22 patients) and 95.7%(22 patients) of 23 patients with NRS, DLQI and POEM improved by≥4 points compared with baseline. Twelve patients with AD who continued to receive dupilumab after 16 weeks showed further improvement in skin lesions. The adverse events were conjunctivitis and injection site reaction. In conclusion, dupilumab is an effective and safe treatment for moderate and severe AD. However, the longer-term efficacy and safety require further studies involving larger sample sizes and a longer follow-up time.
