Objective To investigate the probability and dosimetric risk factors of lung injury after sequential immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and thoracic radiotherapy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 139 patients who received sequential ICIs and thoracic radiotherapy in Xuzhou Cancer Hospital and Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between February 2020 and February 2024. The relationships of clinical factors and lung and heart volume dose parameters with grade ≥ 2 acute lung injury (ALI) in patients with thoracic tumors were studied using univariable (χ² test, t test, nonparametric test) and multivariable (binary logistic regression analysis) methods. The thresholds of dosimetric risk factors were determined using the receiver operating characteristic curves. Clinical factors included age, gender, smoking history, type of ICIs, cycle of ICI application, and the interval between ICI application and thoracic radiotherapy. Dose parameters included total radiotherapy dose, single dose, planning target volume, maximum dose of planning target volume, average dose of planning target volume, total lung volume, heart volume, and the V₅, V₁₀, V₁₅, V₂₀, V₂₅, V₃₀, V₃₅, and V₄₀ of lung and heart. Results The incidence of grade ≥ 2 ALI in the included cases was 36% (50/139). The χ² test did not find any statistically significant clinical factors. In the univariable and binary Logistic regression analysis, lung V₁₅ and V₂₀, heart V₁₅ and V₂₀, and lung volume were independent risk factors for the occurrence of grade ≥ 2 ALI in sequential ICIs and thoracic radiotherapy. The thresholds were 18.51% for lung V₁₅, 14.43% for lung V₂₀, 32.41% for heart V₁₅, and 17.74% for heart V₂₀. Conclusion For patients who are going to receive thoracic radiotherapy after ICIs, the thresholds of lung V₁₅ and V₂₀ and heart V₁₅ and V₂₀ in the radiotherapy plan are recommended to be less than 18.51%, 14.43%, 32.41%, and 17.74%, respectively, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of grade ≥ 2 ALI.

Objective To analyze the effects of different anastomotic methods on flap survival rate and wound healing factors of patients with transplantation of superficial branch perforator flap of superficial circumflex iliac artery(SCIA).Methods A total of 100 patients with skin defects of limbs admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to August 2022 were selected and divided into end-to-end anastomosis group(56 cases)and end-to-side anastomosis group(44 cases)according to different anastomosis methods.In the end-to-end anastomosis group,the end of the flap artery was anastomosed with the end of the aortic branch in the affected area.In the end-to-side anastomosis group,the end of recipient flap artery was anastomosed with the side of aorta.Patients in both groups were followed up for 6 to 12 months,the arterial caliber,lateral caliber and anastomosis time were compared between the two groups.The survival of the flap,the occurrence of venous crisis,the shape and function of the flap and donor area were observed.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the arterial caliber or lateral caliber of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The anastomosis time of patients in the end-to-end anastomosis group was significantly shorter than that in the end-to-side anastomosis group(P<0.05).All 56 cases in the end-to-end anastomosis group survived.In the end-to-side anastomosis group,venous crisis occurred in 4 cases,with venous thrombosis,2 cases survived after re-anastomosis,2 cases were changed to abdominal pedicled flap when venous crisis occurred again,the appearance and function of the flap and donor area were satisfactory 6 months to 1 year after surgery(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in color,thickness,vascular distribution or flexibility of donor area of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in pain,appearance,vitality and recreation of recipient area of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The application of different arterial anastomosis methods in the transplantation of superficial branch perforator flap of SCIA for the treatment of skin and soft tissue defects of limbs is safe and reliable,the postoperative survival of the flap is good,the healing is not affected by the anastomosis method,and the appearance of the affected area is satisfactory,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To analyze the application value of MCV,MCH and HbA2 in screening for thalassemia in the population of childbearing age in Quanzhou area,and to determine the optimal screening cut-off value of relevant indicators in this area. Methods:2725 couples of childbearing age were included in the study and underwent routine blood test,capillary hemoglobin electrophoresis,and α and β thalassemia gene test. Statistical methods were used to analyze the distribution of thalassemia genotypes,and compare the performance of MCV,MCH,and HbA2 in screening various types of thalassemia. According to the ROC curve,the best cut-off values of MCV,MCH and HbA2 in screening for thalassemia in this area were determined. Results:In this study,a total of 1801 thalassemia carriers were detected,including 1341 cases of α-thalassemia,420 cases of β-thalassemia,and 40 cases of αβ compound thalassemia. The most common genotypes of α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia were--SEA/αα and β654/βN,respectively. ROC curves were drawn to evaluate the performance of MCV,MCH and HbA2 in screening for α-thalassemia,mild β-thalassemia,αβ compound thalassemia,silent α-thalassemia,mild α-thalassemia,and intermediate α-thalassemia. The maximum areas under the curves (AUC) were 0.747,0.865,0.724,0.486,0.812,0.841;0.747,0.846,0.703,0.479,0.796,0.903;0.613,0.980,0.909,0.465,0.674,0.996,respectively;and the best cut-off values corresponding to the three screening indicators were 76.15fl,71.95fl,77.35fl,86.15fl,75.41fl,61.15fl;24.35pg,21.51pg,25.45pg,28.65pg,24.01pg,20.51pg;2.45％,3.05％,3.55％,3.25％,2.45％,1.65％,respectively.

Objective:To explore the prognostic factors of primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) in the era of novel agents.Methods:The clinical data of 66 patients with pPCL treated at the Department of Haematology, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University from 2011 to 2022 were retrospectively collected to analyze their prognostic factors.Results:Among the 66 patients with pPCL, the median age was 59 (range: 29-79) years. The median overall survival (OS) duration was 19.0 (95% CI 10.4-27.6) months, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) duration was 11.0 (95% CI 6.5-15.6) months. The median OS and PFS were significantly longer in patients with the best post-treatment response of very good partial remission (VGPR) or better than in patients with a response of partial remission (PR) or worse (median OS: 33.0 months vs 6.0 months, P<0.001; median PFS: 16.0 months vs 3.0 months, P<0.001). OS was significantly longer in patients who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation than in those who did not undergo transplantation (49.0 months vs 6.0 months, P=0.002), and there was a trend toward a longer PFS in patients who underwent transplantation than in those who did not undergo transplantation (19.0 months vs 8.0 months, P=0.299). The median OS and PFS were significantly longer in patients who received maintenance therapy than in those who did not receive maintenance therapy (median OS: 56.0 months vs 4.0 months, P<0.001; median PFS: 20.0 months vs 2.0 months, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that hypercalcemia was an independent risk factor ( HR=3.204, 95% CI 1.068-9.610, P=0.038) for patients with pPCL, while receiving maintenance therapy ( HR=0.075, 95% CI 0.022-0.253, P<0.001) and post-treatment response of VGPR or better ( HR=0.175, 95% CI 0.048-0.638, P=0.008) were independent protective factors for patients with pPCL. Conclusions:In the era of novel agents, hypercalcemia, receiving maintenance therapy, and post-treatment response of VGPR or better are independent prognostic factors for pPCL.

Objective To establish a finite element model of the hallux valgus foot and study the stress and displacement changes in the first and second rays of the hallux valgus under different tensile forces.Methods Foot CT images of a patient with hallux valgus were imported into Mimics to reconstruct a three-dimensional(3D)skeletal model of the foot.The 3-matic software was used to mesh the reconstructed model and generate the volume mesh.The optimized model was imported into ANSYS for finite element analysis.The relationship between the tensile forces and the stress/displacement of the first and second rays of the hallux valgus was verified by changing the size and direction of the tensile forces.Results Tensile forces of different magnitudes and directions were applied to the first proximal phalanx.When the force was less than 12 N,with an increase in tension,the displacement of the first phalange changed more significantly.For every 2 N increase in tension,the displacement increased by approximately 1 mm.When the force was greater than 12 N,with an increase in tension,the stress on the first phalange increased,whereas the displacement only changed slightly.In addition,when the magnitude of the force remained unchanged at 12 N and the direction of the force changed at intervals of 15°,the stress and stress distributions of the first and second rays changed with direction,and the displacement also changed accordingly.When the direction of the force was perpendicular to that of the second phalanx,the displacement of the first phalanx increased.Conclusions Finite element analysis technology can vividly and accurately analyze the stress and displacement changes of the first and second rays of hallux valgus under different tensile forces,and it lays a foundation for the design of hallux valgus orthoses.

Objective To explore the prediction of hospital indoor microbial concentration in air based on real-time indoor air environment monitoring data and machine learning algorithms.Methods Four locations in a hospital were selected as monitoring sampling points from May 23 to June 5,2022.The"internet of things"sensor was used to monitor a variety of real-time air environment data.Air microbial concentration data collected at each point were matched,and the gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT)was used to predict real-time indoor microbial concentra-tion in air.Five other common machine learning models were selected for comparison,including random forest(RF),decision tree(DT),k-nearest neighbor(KNN),linear regression(LR)and artificial neural network(ANN).The validity of the model was verified by the mean absolute error(MAE),root mean square error(RMSE)and mean absolute percentage error(MAPE).Results The MAPE value of GBDT model in the outpa-tient elevator room(point A),bronchoscopy room(point B),CT waiting area(point C),and nurses'station in the supply room(point D)were 22.49％,36.28％,29.34％,and 26.43％,respectively.The mean performance of the GBDT model was higher than that of other machine learning models at three sampling points and slightly lower than that of the ANN model at only one sampling point.The mean MAPE value of GBDT model at four sampling points was 28.64％,that is,the predicted value deviated from the actual value by 28.64％,indicating that GBDT model has good prediction results and the predicted value was within the available range.Conclusion The GBDT machine learning model based on real-time indoor air environment monitoring data can improve the prediction accuracy of in-door air microbial concentration in hospitals.

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.
