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 investigate the relationship between serum autotaxin,copeptin,lipopolysaccharide binding protein(LBP)and prognosis in patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis(HBV-DC)complicated with liver failure(LF).Methods 143 patients with HBV-DC complicated with LF who admitted to our hospital from February 2018 to August 2023 were selected as the research objects.Patients were followed up for 90 d,patients were divided into death group(55 cases)and survival group(88 cases)according to the prognosis,the levels of serum Autotaxin,Copeptin and LBP were compared between two groups.The clinical data of patients with HBV-DC complicated with liver failure were collected,the prognostic factors of HBV-DC complicated with LF patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression models.The clinical value of serum Autotaxin,Copeptin and LBP alone or in combination in predicting the prognosis of patients with HBV-DC complicated with LF were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results 143 patients with HBV-DC complicated with LF 90 d follow-up,55 died,and 88 survived,with a mortality rate of 38.46％.Compared with survival group,the serum levels of Autotaxin,Copeptin and LBP in death group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with survival group,the proportion of hospitalization time ≥14 d,the proportion of ascites,the proportion of hepatic encephalopathy,alanine aminotransferase,total bilirubin and model for end-stage liver disease(MELD)score in death group were significantly increased(P＜0.05),and albumin was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),there was no significant difference in age,gender,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,serum creatinine,platelet count and fibrinogen(P＞0.05).Elevated total bilirubin,concurrent hepatic encephalopathy,elevated MELD score,and elevated serum Autotaxin,Copeptin,and LBP levels were risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with HBV-DC complicated with LF(P＜0.05).ROC curve results showed that,the area under the curve(AUC),sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of serum Autotaxin,LBP and Copeptin in predicting poor prognosis of patients with HBV-DC complicated with LF were 0.930,85.45％and 88.64％,respectively,which were significantly better than those of single index detection.Conclusion The high expression of serum Autotaxin,Copeptin and LBP are related to the risk of short-term death in patients with HBV-DC complicated with LF,and the combined detection has a high clinical predictive value for the occurrence of short-term death in patients with HBV-DC complicated with LF.

Objective:To understand the current status of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted with a multi-stage stratified sampling method to select 150 streets or townships from 10 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities (East: Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Hainan; Central: Henan; West: Chongqing, Shaanxi, Guizhou, and Xinjiang; Northeast: Liaoning). From May 2022 to April 2023, a total of 21 470 children, including community-based children aged 0.5 to<3.0 years receiving child health care and kindergarten-based children aged 3.0 to<7.0 years, were surveyed. They were divided into 3 age groups: infants (0.5 to<1.0 year), toddlers (1.0 to<3.0 years), and preschoolers (3.0 to<7.0 years). Basic information such as sex and date of birth of the children was collected, and peripheral blood samples were obtained for routine blood tests and serum ferritin measurement. The prevalence rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were analyzed, and the prevalence rate differences were compared among different ages, sex, urban and rural areas, and regions using the chi-square test.Results:A total of 21 460 valid responses were collected, including 10 780 boys (50.2%). The number of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers were 2 645 (12.3%), 6 244 (29.1%), and 12 571 (58.6%), respectively. The hemoglobin level was (126.7±14.8) g/L, and the serum ferritin level was 32.3 (18.5, 50.1) μg/L. The overall rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were 10.4% (2 230/21 460), 28.3% (6 070/21 460), and 3.9% (845/21 460), respectively. The prevalence rate of anemia was higher for boys than for girls (10.9% (1 173/10 780) vs. 9.9% (1 057/10 680), χ2=5.58, P=0.018), with statistically significant differences in the rates for infants, toddlers and preschoolers (18.0% (475/2 645), 10.6% (662/6 244), and 8.7% (1 093/12 571), respectively, χ2=201.81, P<0.01), and the rate was significantly higher for children in rural than that in urban area (11.8% (1 516/12 883) vs. 8.3% (714/8 577), χ2=65.54, P<0.01), with statistically significant differences in the rates by region ( χ2=126.60, P<0.01), with the highest rate of 15.8% (343/2 173) for children in Central region, and the lowest rate of 5.3% (108/2 053) in Northeastern region. The prevalence rates of iron deficiency were 33.8% (895/2 645), 32.2% (2 011/6 244), and 25.2% (3 164/12 571) in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, respectively, and 30.0% (3 229/10 780) in boys vs. 26.6% (2 841/10 680) in girls, 21.7% (1 913/8 821), 40.0% (870/2 173), 27.1% (2 283/8 413), 48.9% (1 004/2 053) in Eastern, Central, Western, and Northeastern regions, respectively, and each between-group showed a significant statistical difference ( χ2=147.71, 29.73, 773.02, all P<0.01). The prevalence rate of iron-deficiency anemia showed a significant statistical difference between urban and rural areas, 2.9% (251/8 577) vs. 4.6% (594/12 883) ( χ2=38.62, P<0.01), while the difference in iron deficiency prevalence was not significant ( χ2=0.51, P=0.476). Conclusions:There has been a notable improvement in iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China, but the situation remains concerning. Particular attention should be paid to the prevention and control of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia, especially among infants and children in the Central, Western, and Northeastern regions of China.

This study aims to systematically review the efficacy and safety of Shufeng Jiedu Capsules in the treatment of influenza. The randomized controlled trial(RCT) of Shufeng Jiedu Capsules alone or in combination with conventional western medicine for treating influenza were retrieved from PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, SinoMed, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, and ClinicalTrails.gov. The data analysis was performed in RevMan 5.4.1. The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the involved RCT, and GRADEpro GDT to assess the quality of the evidence. A total of 11 RCTs involving 1 836 patients were included in this study. Compared with conventional western medicine, Shufeng Jiedu Capsules/Shufeng Jiedu Capsules + conventional western medicine improved the response rate(RR=1.09, 95%CI[1.03, 1.15], P=0.002), shortened the time to relief of cough, and increased the 3-day sore throat relief rate, whereas there was no significant difference in the time to fever abatement, the time to relief of sore throat, 3-day cough relief rate, or 3-day runny nose relief rate. Subgroup-analysis showed that Shufeng Jiedu Capsules + conventional western medicine improved the response rate(RR=1.11, 95%CI[1.08, 1.15], P<0.000 01), shortened the time to relief of cough, and increased the 3-day relief rate of symptoms(cough, sore throat, and runny nose) compared with conventional western medicine alone, while there was no significant difference in the time to fever abatement or the time to relief of sore throat. Shufeng Jiedu Capsules alone could not improve the response rate(RR=0.97, 95%CI[0.93, 1.02], P=0.19). In addition, Shufeng Jiedu Capsules/Shufeng Jiedu Capsules + conventional western medicine vs conventional western medicine were no significant difference in adverse reactions(RR=0.98, 95%CI[0.57, 1.69], P=0.95). The available evidence suggests that Shufeng Jiedu Capsules is effective and safe in the treatment of influenza, and the combination of Shufeng Jiedu Capsules with conventional western medicine can accelerate the relief of symptoms. However, since the number and quality of the included studies were low, the above findings remained to be further verified by multicenter RCT with large sample sizes.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

Objective: The docking and superantigen activity sites of staphylococcal enterotoxin-like W (SElW) and T cell receptor (TCR) were predicted, and its SElW was cloned, expressed and purified. Methods: AlphaFold was used to predict the 3D structure of SElW protein monomers, and the protein models were evaluated with the help of the SAVES online server from ERRAT, Ramachandran plot, and Verify_3D. The ZDOCK server simulates the docking conformation of SElW and TCR, and the amino acid sequences of SElW and other serotype enterotoxins were aligned. The primers were designed to amplify selw, and the fragment was recombined into the pMD18-T vector and sequenced. Then recombinant plasmid pMD18-T was digested with BamHⅠand Hind Ⅲ. The target fragment was recombined into the expression plasmid pET-28a(+). After identification of the recombinant plasmid, the protein expression was induced by isopropyl-beta-D- thiogalactopyranoside. The SElW expressed in the supernatant was purified by affinity chromatography and quantified by the BCA method. Results: The predicted three-dimensional structure showed that the SElW protein was composed of two domains, the amino-terminal and the carboxy-terminal. The amino-terminal domain was composed of 3 α-helices and 6 β-sheets, and the carboxy-terminal domain included 2 α-helices and 7 antiparallel β-sheets composition. The overall quality factor score of the SElW protein model was 98.08, with 93.24% of the amino acids having a Verify_3D score ≥0.2 and no amino acids located in disallowed regions. The docking conformation with the highest score (1 521.328) was selected as the analysis object, and the 19 hydrogen bonds between the corresponding amino acid residues of SElW and TCR were analyzed by PyMOL. Combined with sequence alignment and the published data, this study predicted and found five important superantigen active sites, namely Y18, N19, W55, C88, and C98. The highly purified soluble recombinant protein SElW was obtained with cloning, expression, and protein purification. Conclusions: The study found five superantigen active sites in SElW protein that need special attention and successfully constructed and expressed the SElW protein, which laid the foundation for further exploration of the immune recognition mechanism of SElW.

Objective:To study the short-term (≤3 months) efficacy and safety of esophageal triamcinolone acetonide filling combined with short-course oral methylprednisolone for the prevention of esophageal stenosis after large-area endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) (≥3/4 circumference).Methods:A total of 14 patients with 15 early esophageal lesions who received ESD after evaluation from June 2021 to September 2022 in Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine were enrolled. All received regular esophageal triamcinolone acetonide filling combined with oral methylprednisolone for 7 weeks until the lesions completely recovered by regenerated squamous epithelium (>95%). Patients with esophageal stricture were treated with additional endoscopic dilatation. The stenosis rate, the interval between the first endoscopic dilation and the completion of ESD, the number of esophageal triamcinolone acetonide filling, the healing time after ESD, and the speed and method of squamous epithelium regeneration were observed. The secondary observations were adverse events such as bleeding and perforation after ESD and adverse events related to steroid hormone.Results:No adverse events occurred after ESD in 14 patients. Only 1 patient developed esophageal stenosis, the incidence of stenosis was 7.1% (1/14). The interval between the first dilation and ESD was 39 days. Thirteen patients achieved squamous epithelium regeneration without stenosis or adverse events related to steroid hormone. The median number of esophageal triamcinolone acetonide filling was 6.5 times (4.0-14.0 times), the median healing time was 40 days (32-94 days), and the median healing speed was 0.61 cm2/d (0.30-1.55 cm2/d).Conclusion:Esophageal triamcinolone acetonide filling combined with short-course oral methylprednisolone for the prevention of esophageal stenosis after large-area ESD is effective and safe in the short-term follow-up.

Objective To establish and validate the nomogram prediction model of degenerative lumbar disc disease in young and middle-aged people.Methods From January 2020 to March 2022,232 young and middle-aged people who were examined with MRI of lumbar intervertebral disc and standard standing position lumbar anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films in Suzhou Ninth Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University were selected as the study subjects.Collecting the factors that may affect the occurrence of degenerative lumbar disc disease in young and middle-aged people,the people were divided into degenerative disease group(n=78)and non-degenerative disease group(n=154)according to the presence or absence of degenerative lumbar disc disease.Influencing factors were compared between the two groups,the independent influencing factors screened out by multifactor logistic regression,the nomograph model was constructed by R software,and the model verified.Results Among 232 young and middle-aged people included in this study,78(33.6%)had degenerative lumbar disc diseases.The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the increase of BMI,sedentariness,the increase of IL-1β level were the risk factors of degenerative lumbar disc disease in young and middle-aged people;the increase of pelvic incidence angle and the increase of miRNA-142-3p level were protective factors for degenerative lumbar disc disease in young and middle-aged people(P<0.05).The nomogram model was constructed according to the results of multifactor analysis.ROC results showed that AUC was 0.889(95%CI 0.844-0.933,P<0.05),the average absolute error of internal validation was 0.017,the prediction curve was basically fitted with the standard curve,and the H-L goodness of fit test showed that the model was consistent(P>0.05).The decision curve shows that the clinical benefit rate is the highest when the model prediction probability threshold is 0.16-0.80.Conclusions Degenerative lumbar disc disease in young and middle-aged people is affected by such factors as BMI,sedentariness,and incidence angle of pelvis,and the nomogram model established based on this has high differentiation and accuracy of prediction.
