Objective:To study the expression levels and clinical significance of microR-NA-183-5p(miR-183-5p)and thioesterase superfamily member 4(THEM4)in colon cancer tissues.Methods:A total of 96 patients with colon cancer who in Hebei China Petroleum Central Hospital gathered as the research objects.During the course of radical resection of colon cancer patients,the colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected.The relative expression levels of miR-183-5p and THEM4 mRNA in colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were detected.Analysis of the correlation between miR-183-5pand THEM4mRNA in colon cancer and their relation-ship with prognosis.COX regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of pa-tients with colon cancer.Results:Compared with adjacent normal tissues,the expression level of miR-183-5p in colon cancer tissues increased(P＜0.05),and the expression level of THEM4 mRNA decreased(P＜0.05).MiR-183-5p was negatively correlated with THEM4 mRNA expression in colon cancer tissue(r=-0.529,P＜0.05).The survival rate of the high expression group of miR-183-5p lower than that of the low expression group(P＜0.05),the survival rate of the high expression group of THEM4 was obviously higher than that of the low expression group(P＜0.05).TNM stage(Ⅲ-Ⅳ),high expres-sion of miR-183-5p and low expression of THEM4 were risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with colon cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The expression level of miR-183-5p in cancer tissues of patients with colon cancer is increased,and the expression level of THEM4 is decreased,both are closely relat-ed to the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients.

Objective To compare therapeutic efficacy of anticoagulation alone and combining with intervention for treating severe cerebral venous thrombosis(CVT).Methods Data of 65 severe CVT patients were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into anticoagulation group(n=32)or combined group(n=33)according to therapeutic methods.The modified Rankin scale(mRS)score at admission and discharge,the prognosis of patients,vascular recanalization rate as well as incidence of complications during follow-up period were compared between groups.Results No significant difference of mRS scores at admission was found between groups(P＞0.05),while mRS scores of combined group were lower than of anticoagulation group at discharge(P＜0.05).The rate of good prognosis at discharge(84.85%vs.59.38%),6 months after discharge(87.88%vs.65.63%)and 12 months after discharge(93.94%vs.75.00%)in combined group were all higher than those in anticoagulation group(all P＜0.05).The vascular recanalization rate in combined group was higher than that in anticoagulant group(100%vs.75.00%,P＜0.05).At the end of follow-up,no significant difference of complication incidence was found between groups(15.15%vs.18.75%,P＞0.05).Conclusion For patients with severe CVT,anticoagulation combined with interventional therapy could significantly alleviate clinical symptoms and improve prognosis compared with anticoagulation alone.

Objective To observe the value of stent implantation for treating idiopathic intracranial hypertension(IIH)complicated with venous sinus stenosis(VSS).Methods Data of 54 patients with IIH complicated with VSS who underwent stent implantation were retrospectively analyzed.The papillary edema grade,lumbar puncture-opening pressure(LP-OP)and trans-stenotic pressure gradient of venous sinus(ΔP)before and after stent implantation were compared,and the symptom improvement and treatment-related complications during the follow-up period were recorded.Results Totally 60 stents were successfully implanted in 54 patients.Before stent implantation,the papillary edema grade was 3(3,3),LP-OP was(391.39±92.62)mmH2O and the ΔP was 18.50(15.00,25.00)mmHg,which decreased to 1(0,1),(208.80±62.31)mmH2O and 1.25(0.88,2.55)mmHg after stent implantation,respectively,all with significant differences(all P＜0.001).Clinical symptoms improved after stent implantation in all 54 patients.At the end of follow-up,disappearance of headache,papillary edema,visual disorder,abducent nerve paralysis and tinnitus were noticed in 30(30/37,81.08%),38(38/45,84.44%),41(41/45,91.11%),8(8/10,80.00%)and 9 cases(9/10,90.00%),respectively.Treatment-related complications occurred in 4 cases(4/54,7.41%),all improved after intervention.Conclusion Stent implantation was effective and safe for treating IIH complicated with VSS.

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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of thermal ablation in treating solitary low-risk T2N0M0 papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and compare the outcomes of microwave ablation (MWA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Materials and Methods: This retrospective, single center study involved 34 patients (age: 40.0 ± 13.9 years; 28 female) who had low-risk T2N0M0 PTC with a maximum diameter >2 cm and ≤4 cm and underwent MWA (n = 15) or RFA (n = 19) from November 2016 to April 2023. The primary outcomes were the cumulative rate of disease progression and delayed surgery rates.In contrast, the secondary outcomes included changes in tumor size, cumulative rate of complete tumor disappearance, and complication rates. Results: The median follow-up period was 18.0 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 9.0–40.0 months). At 12 months, the median volume reduction rate of the ablation zone was 74.2% (IQR: 53.7%–86.0%). Disease progression was noted in two patients within 1 year, including one patient with local tumor progression post-RFA and one with a new tumor post-MWA, resulting in a constant cumulative disease progression rate of 8.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0%–19.8%) throughout the remaining follow-up period. Both patients were subsequently treated with additional ablation and did not require surgery. The cumulative rates of complete tumor disappearance at 1, 3, and 5 years were 4.0% (95% CI: 0%–11.4%), 26.8% (95% CI: 2.7%– 44.9%), and 51.2% (95% CI: 0%–79.1%), respectively. No significant differences were observed in the disease progression (P = 0.829) or complete tumor disappearance (P = 0.633) rates between the MWA and RFA groups. Complications occurred in 14.7% (5/34) of patients presenting with transient hoarseness. RFA had a higher but not statistically significant complication rate than MWA did (21.1% [4/19] vs. 6.7% [1/15]; P = 0.355). Conclusion Both MWA and RFA demonstrated promising short-term outcomes in terms of efficacy and safety in treating solitary low-risk T2N0M0 PTC, with no significant differences.

A dry suspension of Indigo Naturalis (IN) based on lactose-IN composite particles was designed by powder modification technology to meet the clinical needs of IN. The contact angle was used as an evaluation index to investigate the effects of the type of modifier lactose, the amount of lactose, and the co-grinding time of lactose and IN on the hydrophilicity of IN. The difference between IN before and after modification was compared through physical properties such as particle size and scanning electron microscope, as well as hydrophilic properties such as surface free energy and multiple light scattering. The optimal process of lactose-IN composite particles is as follows: after lactose is ground alone for 2 minutes, it is co-ground with IN at a ratio of 1∶1 for 6 minutes. The results of the investigation of powder properties show that the particle size d_0.9 of IN is reduced from 112.75 μm to 87.30 μm after modification. The BET and Langmuir specific surface areas decreased by 8.661 m²·g^-1 and 12.512 m²·g^-1, respectively. SEM shows that lactose is attached to the surface of modified IN (MIN); surface element analysis shows that Si, Ca, and Mg elements of MIN are smaller than IN, and O elements are larger. The infrared spectrum shows that the MIN possesses the characteristic peaks of both IN and lactose. Compared MIN with IN, the contact angle and the non-polar surface free energy decreased by 35.1° and 9.975 mJ·m^-2, respectively; the polar surface free energy and the surface free energy increased by 36.956 and 26.950 mJ·m^-2, respectively. The results of multiple light scattering showed that the light transmittance of MIN was 35% lower than that of IN, and the backscattered light intensity was increased by about 25%. Only one excipient was used to successfully prepare IN dry suspension with good wettability and suspending property, which provided a basis for the development of new preparations of IN.
