ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of a cold environment on the pathophysiological changes in dogs after abdominal gastrointestinal blast injury. MethodsEight healthy common-grade adult male Beagles were selected and randomly divided into a cold group and a normal temperature group, with 4 dogs in each group. Prior to surgery, Beagles dogs were fasted and deprived of water for 12 hours; after establishing a vein at the edge of the ear, propofol (2 mg·kg-1·min-1) was continuously infused using a microinfusion pump to maintain anesthesia. Tracheal intubation was performed while preserving spontaneous breathing, and the electroencephalogram bifrequency index was maintained at 40-60 to ensure stable anesthesia. A model of abdominal gastrointestinal blast injury in Beagle dogs was established using a multifunctional combat trauma modeling platform. After blast injury, the cold group was exposed to a cold chamber at -20 ℃ combined with 10% body surface area ice water immersion for 40 min, while the normal temperature group was kept in an environment at (25±2) ℃ for 40 min after blast injury. Vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation were monitored in both groups before blast injury, immediately after blast injury, and 40 min after blast injury. And arterial blood gas parameters, including pH, partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2), actual bicarbonate radical (HCO3-), lactic acid (Lac), and blood base excess (BEb), were measured. After the experiment, gastrointestinal tissues (gastric antrum and upper jejunum 5 cm distal to the suspensory ligament of the duodenum) were harvested for pathological analysis via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining combined with semi-quantitative scoring. ResultsPhysiological indicators showed that the body temperature of the cold group was significantly lower than that of the normal temperature group (P<0.01), and the heart rate and systolic blood pressure of the cold group were significantly higher than those of the normal temperature group (P<0.000 1). PaCO2 was markedly elevated and BEb was markedly decreased in the cold group relative to the normal temperature group (P<0.000 1), suggesting aggravated respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis. Pathological analysis showed that gastro-intestinal tissue damage was more severe in the cold group: the gastric mucosal epithelial shedding rate was > 60% (vs. <25% in the normal temperature group), the necrosis rate of the epithelial cells at the tips of intestinal villi reached more than 70% (vs. < 30% in the normal temperature group), and inflammatory cell infiltration involved the submucosa (vs. limited to the superficial mucosa in the normal temperature group). The semi-quantitative scoring results were consistent with the pathological analysis results, further confirming that the cold environment exacerbated gastrointestinal tissue damage caused by abdominal gastrointestinal blast injury. ConclusionA cold environment can exacerbate circulatory dysfunction and gastrointestinal tissue damage in Beagle dogs after blast injury, providing experimental evidence for early rewarming intervention for combat trauma in cold regions.

Objective:This study aimed to explore the status of radiological Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) among school-aged children in Chamdo City, Tibet, through a 3-year monitoring survey, providing epidemiological evidence for prevention and control strategies.Methods:The target areas for this study were Luolong, Bianba, and Basu counties in Chamdo City, Tibet Autonomous Region, identified as having the most severe historical cases of KBD. Children aged 7-12 years attending school were enrolled as study subjects. Anteroposterior X-ray films of the right-hand were taken, and radiological diagnoses were made based on the "Diagnosis of Kashin-Beck Disease" criteria (WS/T 207-2010). Two experienced researchers independently reviewed the X-rays, and intra- and inter-group consistency were assessed using weighted Kappa values and percentage agreement. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2017 and 2020 to describe the X-ray detection rates of KBD, and logistic regression analysis was employed to construct a predictive model of risk factors for radiological KBD cases.Results:In 2017, a total of 5,711 children aged 7-12 years in Chamdo City, Tibet, participated in the baseline cross-sectional survey (average age 9.2 years, 48.0% female), with 28 cases of radiological KBD. The age- and gender-standardized prevalence rate was 0.527%. In 2020, 6,771 participants (average age 9.3 years, 49.5% female) underwent a second cross-sectional survey, with 9 cases of radiological KBD and a standardized prevalence rate of 0.134%. Logistic regression analysis indicated that older age [ OR=2.439, 95% CI(1.299, 4.580), P=0.006] and female gender [ OR=8.157, 95% CI(1.016, 65.528), P=0.048] were independent risk factors for radiological KBD cases. Conversely, higher residential altitude, under the premise of Tibet's high altitude, was a protective factor [ OR=0.995, 95% CI(0.990, 0.999), P=0.032). Conclusion:The radiographically positive detection rate of KBD among school-aged children in Chamdo City, Tibet Autonomous Region, is at an extremely low level and showing a declining trend, reaching the historical standard in 2020. Considering the absence of positive signs in affected children, it suggests that local KBD has been effectively eliminated.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and interventions associated with drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room.Methods:Bases on the adverse drug reaction database from the emergency medicine center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, clinical data of patients who experienced drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room between November 2019 and November 2023 were collected, including gender, age, history of previous adverse drug reactions, allergy history, Charlson comorbidity index, medication details, information related to drug-induced anaphylaxis (onset time, clinical manifestations), interventions, outcomes, and follow-up. The clinical characteristics and interventions in these patients were analyzed.Results:During the study period, a total of 398 772 patients in the emergency infusion room in our hospital received intravenous infusion of drugs. Of them, 625 cases developed adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and 75 cases developed drug-induced anaphylaxis, accounting for 0.02% (75/398 772) of the total infusion patients and 12.0% (75/625) of all ADR cases. Of the 75 patients with anaphylaxis, 30 cases (40%) were classified as grade Ⅱ, and 45 cases (60%) as grade Ⅲ, with no grade Ⅳ cases. The most common drugs involved in 75 cases of anaphylaxis were anti-infective drugs (41 cases, 54.7%). Drug-induced anaphylaxis exhibited diverse clinical manifestations, with cardiovascular symptoms being the most common, primarily varying degrees of transient hypotension (67 cases, 89.3%), followed by systemic and neurological symptoms, including profuse sweating (31 cases, 41.3%) and dizziness (28 cases, 37.3%). All 75 patients with anaphylaxis were treated with measures such as discontinuation of medication, replacement of infusion sets, rapid assessment of circulation and respiration, and monitoring of vital signs, of which 65 (86.7%) received rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, 6 (8.0%) received intravenous injection of glucocorticoids, 3 (4.0%) received intramuscular injection of 0.5 mg epinephrine, and 2 (2.7%) received antihistamines. All 75 patients showed improvement in symptoms, and no sequelae or deaths were found.Conclusions:In the emergency infusion room, the severity of anaphylaxis is mainly grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ with a good prognosis after timely intervention. The treatment measures mainly focus on rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, and the use of epinephrine is relatively low.
