Objective To establish a scientific, comprehensive, and operable community resilience evaluation index system for emergent major infectious diseases. Methods Based on the social ecosystem theory, a preliminary evaluation index system was formed by using content analysis and boundary analysis. The index system was then supplemented and revised through panel discussions. The final index system and index weights were clarified by two rounds of Delphi method. Results The expert positive coefficient, expert authority coefficient, and expert coordination coefficient of the two rounds of expert consultations were examined. According to the screening principle of the “threshold method”, the indicators were screened, and the weights of each indicator were determined in the second round of Delphi expert consultation. The analysis of the reliability of the indicator system showed Cronbach's α= 0.399 , indicating that the indicator system had a relatively high reliability. Factor analysis was carried out on 7 primary indicators, and the measure of sampling adequacy (MSA) values were all greater than 0.5, which passed the validity test. Conclusion A set of evaluation index system that can accurately reflect the resilience level of communities with emergent major infectious diseases has been constructed, including 7 primary indicators, 21 secondary indicators, 54 tertiary indicators, and 108 tertiary indicators, which has realized the quantitative evaluation of the hidden resilience level of communities.

The polycomb repressive deubiquitinase complex(PR-DUB)is a member of the polycomb group protein involved in the epigenetic modification of chromosomes by regulating histone modifications.The polycomb repressive complex 1(PRC1)and PR-DUB complex protect active genes from aberrant si-lencing through a balance of ubiquitination and deubiquitination modifications of H2AK119Ub.The deu-biquitination function of the PR-DUB complex is associated with the promotion of gene activation and the establishment of transcriptionally permissive chromatin states,in addition to the activation of enhancers and the facilitation of DNA damage repair at double-strand breaks.Additional sex combs-like 1(ASXL1)serves as an epigenetic scaffold for the assembly of chromatin-modifying complexes and tran-scription factors involved in epigenetic regulation.BRCA1-associated protein 1(BAP1)acts as a deubiq-uitinating enzyme to remove ubiquitination modification of substrates.The PR-DUB complex consists of a core dimer and other cofactors.BAP 1 forms a core dimer with ASXL1,and other subunits interact to reg-ulate the targeting and functioning of the PR-DUB complex.ASXL1 and BAP1 are the two subunits most relevant to the deubiquitination function of the PR-DUB complex,and the DEUBAD domain of ASXL1 activates BAP1 to exert its deubiquitination function to hydrolyze H2AK119Ub1.Understanding the struc-ture and interaction mechanism of ASXL1 and BAP1 is essential to study the mechanism of deubiquitina-tion specific to the PR-DUB complex.In humans,mutations in the components of the PR-DUB complex frequently cause a variety of hematologic neoplasms.Mutations in the ASSXL1 gene often result in prema-ture termination of protein translation,mostly due to the absence of the C-terminal PHD domain.The in-teraction of mutated ASXL1 or BAP1,epigenetic factors,and targets or signaling pathways such as Akt/mTOR in PR-DUB is now considered as a possible mechanism to promote the development of hematologi-cal tumors.This is crucial for the research and development of new specific targeted therapeutic agents a-gainst potential therapeutic targets.In this paper,focusing on ASXL1 and BAP1,we will introduce the structure and function of the PR-DUB complex,and its mechanism in the occurrence of hematological tumor diseases,and systematically summarize the potential targeted therapeutic drugs,with a view to pro-viding scientific references for the research of the PR-DUB complex in the prevention and treatment of he-matological diseases.

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 summarize the imaging features of severe unilateral transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus thromboses, and evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravascular interventional therapy in them.Methods:Thirty-seven patients with severe unilateral transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus thromboses clinically mainly manifested as intracranial hypertension and accepted endovascular intervention in Department of Interventional Radiology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2012 to September 2022 were chosen; their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and imaging features were summarized. Short-term efficacy was evaluated according to blood flow restoration degrees and pressure gradient reduction in the occlusive sinus and modified neurological symptoms before and after endovascular intervention. Hospitalized complications were observed; safety and long-term efficacy were evaluated according to postoperative clinical follow-up and imaging results 6-12 months after endovascular intervention.Results:(1) Preoperative brain MRI and (or) CT showed different degrees of swelling of the brain tissues, with the affected side as the target; mixed signals/density shadow could be seen in the blocked transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus; venous cerebral infarction or post-infarction cerebral hemorrhage could be combined in some patients. MRV, CTV and DSA showed poor or completely occluded transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus while normal in the contralateral side; obvious thrombus filling-defect was observed in the occluded venous sinus after mechanical thrombolysis. (2) Occlusive sinus blood flow was restored in all patients after endovascular intervention, and pressure gradient of the occlusive segment decreased from (16.6±3.3) mmHg before to (2.8±0.8) mmHg after endovascular intervention. Before discharge, clinical symptoms of all patients were significantly improved (modified Rankin scale [mRS] scores of 0 in 30 patients, 1 in 5 patients, 2 in 1 patient and 3 in 1 patient), and 2 patients had unilateral limb movement disorder (muscle strength grading III and IV, respectively). All patients received clinical follow-up for (9.6±3.0) months. At the last follow-up, neurological function obviously improved compared with that before endovascular intervention, without new neurosystem-related symptoms (mRS scores of 0 in 30 patients, 1 in 6, and 2 in 1 patient). In 34 patients received MRV or DSA follow-up, 28 had complete recanalization of occlusive sinus and 6 had partial recanalization, without obvious stenosis or recurrent occlusion.Conclusions:Severe unilateral transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus thrombosis can cause local intracranial venous blood stasis, and then cause "increased regional venous sinus pressure", which is manifested as unilateral brain tissue swelling and even venous cerebral infarction or post-infarction cerebral hemorrhage. Early diagnosis and endovascular intervention can obviously improve the prognosis of these patients, enjoying good safety.
