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.

Infertility is gradually becoming a major problem affecting health worldwide, and male factors also play an important role in infertility. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are ultramicro membranous vesicles released by cells during activation or apoptosis, which play an important role in cell communication. Relevant studies have shown that extracellular vesicles contain a variety of bioactive substances and participate in infertility related pathophysiological processes by influencing the content of intercellular transmission. Therefore, we reviewed the relationship between extracellular vesicles and male infertility, and expounded the occurrence and potential treatment of male infertility from another perspective.

Objective:To analyze the change trend of survival rate after hip fragility fracture in Tianjin Hospital from 2015 to 2021, and the influence of gender, marital status, age and number of complications on survival rate.Methods:From January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2021, a total of 12,570 patients with fragility fracture of hip were retrieved, including 3,934 males and 8,636 females. The age at admission was 74.11±9.50 years and 74.62±8.99 years respectively. By comparing the ID number with the Tianjin population information database, 2,054 cases died, including 804 males and 1,250 females, aged 81.34±7.88 years and 81.92±7.42 years respectively at the time of death. Acquire the patient's survival status, calculate the cumulative survival rate at 3 month intervals, study the change rule of the cumulative survival rate over time, and use Kaplan-Meier method to calculate the cumulative survival rate of the whole population and the impact of gender, marital status, age, and number of complications on the survival rate.Results:The median survival time of all the dead people after fracture was 13(3, 31) months, including 11(2, 27) months for males and 15(4, 32) months for females. Joinpoint regression showed that 9 months after the hip fragility fracture was the break point of the survival rate. The mortality rate changed significantly within 9 months after fracture (the annual change rate was 47%), and slowed down 9 months later (the annual change rate was 1%). There was a statistically significant difference in trend detection before and after the break point ( P<0.05). The age at admission was 80.11±7.71 years for the dead and 73.36±9.01 years for the non dead, with a statistically significant difference ( t=31.80, P<0.001). After normalization, the number of complications was 0.20±0.93 among the dead and 0.00±0.87 among the non dead, with a statistically significant difference ( t=88.81, P<0.001). The survival rate of men after hip fracture is lower than that of women, the number of people without spouse is lower than that of people with spouse, the number of people with more than 70 years old is lower than that of people with less than 70 years old, and the number of complications ≥2 people is lower than that of people with less than 1 complication, all of which are statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The survival rate within 9 months after the occurrence of hip fragility fracture decreased significantly, and it needs to be tracked and managed for at least 9 months to effectively reduce the risk of death; Male, no spouse, age>70 years old, number of complications ≥2 will increase the risk of death after hip fragility fracture, leading to reduced survival rate of patients.

Life sciences are the disciplines most closely related with human beings. As experimental disciplines, life sciences develop rapidly and highly intersect in many scientific fields. Under the "double first-class" initiative, the comprehensive development-oriented talent training system has put forward an urgent need for life sciences literacy and comprehensive ability training of college students. Taking the reform of liberal education curriculum system as an opportunity, we developed a series of eight life sciences practical liberal courses for students with non-biology majors. The courses cover all sub-disciplines or directions of life sciences, and aim to foster interdisciplinary talents with life sciences knowledge and literacy, as well as practical and innovative abilities. These courses could serve as references for experimental teaching centers in colleges and universities to set up practical liberal and experimental courses.

Objective:The study aimed to evaluate the effect of systemic-pulmonary shunt(SPS) on the infants with tetralogy of Fallot(TOF) with hypoplasia pulmonary arteries.Methods:Among 949 infants less than three-year-old who underwent surgical intervention between January 2010 and December 2015, 853 infants underwent one-stage primary repair(group Ⅰ), whereas 96 infants underwent SPS(group Ⅱ). Among them, 546 were males and 403 were females. The average age and average weight at operation were 13 months and 9.4 kg, respectively. 20.8% infants had clinical symptoms before operation. Perioperative and follow-up parameters were assessed including age, weight, sex, transcutaneous oxygen saturation(SPO 2), preoperative clinic symptom, ratio of McGoon, NAKATA index, Z score of pulmonary annulus, left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD). Results:There were 28(3.0%) early postoperative deaths in the whole group. And no significant difference in mortality was found between group Ⅰ(2.9%) and group Ⅱ(3.1%). Compared with group Ⅰ, age and weight were significantly lower in patients in group Ⅱ[(0.95±0.56)years old vs.(1.09±0.59)years old] and[(8.6±1.8)kg vs.(9.5±2.1)kg], respectively. Patients in group Ⅱ had a lower SPO 2(0.75±0.09 vs. 0.85±0.09) and was more prone to appear hypoxic spell(30.2% vs. 19.7%) than patients in group Ⅰ. Patients in group Ⅱ had a more poor development in pulmonary artery. The ratio of McGoon, NAKATA index and Z score of pulmonary annulus in group Ⅱ were significantly less than that in group Ⅰ[1.4±0.3 vs. 1.9±0.5, (124±43)mm 2/m 2 vs.(222±88)mm 2/m 2 and-4.3±2.6 vs.-2.3±2.1], respectively. There was no difference of extubation time bewteen two groups. SPO 2 rose significantly from 0.75 to 0.83 after SPS. And after SPS, the diameter of main pulmonary artery, the ratio of McGoon, NAKATA index and Z score of pulmonary annulus increased significantly from 6.4 mm, 1.42, 126.4 mm 2/m 2 and -4.3 to 9.2 mm, 1.83, 212.6 mm 2/m 2 and -2.4, respectively. Moreover, LVEDD also increased significantly from 21.2 mm to 24.5 mm after SPS. Conclusion:SPS is safe and effective for little infants with anoxic spell and hypoplasia pulmonary arteries. SPS can improve oxygenation significantly and delay the age for radical surgery. SPS also promote the growth of the pulmonary arteries, pulmonary valve annulus and left ventricular, and it facilitates the preservation of pulmonary valve annulus and reduce the rate of transannular patching in a portion of infants.

Objective To investigate the applicate effects in the treatment of left coronary artery abnormality originated from pulmonary artery(ALCAPA) with two perfusion methods of Medium-low temperature-full flow and Low-temperature-low flow.Methods From April 2010 to August 2018, 51 children with ALCAPA were treated with direct coronary artery trans-plantation in Beijing Anzhen Hospital.According to the circulated perfusion method, All of cases were divided into two groups:the Medium-low temperature full flow(group A) and Low-temperature low flow(group B); All patients underwent ALCAPA correct operation under general anesthesia by intravenous inhalation and extracorporeal circulation , and the combined cardiac malformations at the same period.Results The whole of 51 children, including 27 males and 24 females, the aweraged age was(29.19 ±19.43)months(8-36 months), the aweraged weight was(11.73 ±9.99)kg(7.4 -35.0 kg).The cardiotho-racic ratio(C/T) was 0.70 ±0.09.In group A, 24 patients, including 13 males and 11 females, the aweraged age 3 -36 (28.64 ±16.30) months, the aweraged weight 7.4-31.0(12.25 ±10.33) kg, and the cardiothoracic ratio(C/T) 0.71 ± 0.07.Group B included 27 patients, including 15 males and 12 females, the aweraged age 5-31(25.85 ±16.60) months, the aweraged weight 6.7-35.0(10.38 ±3.67)kg, and the cardiothoracic ratio(C/T) of 0.69 ±0.06.The postoperative ear-ly death were 5 cases in the whole group, there were 3 cases in group A and 2 cases in group B, all of them were died of low cardiac output syndrome.Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) support for 7 cases of 5 in group A and 2 in group B. There was no statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality between the two groups(P >0.05).The Intraoperative extracorporeal circulation time, ascending aorta occlusion time, the number and amount of myocardial cold arrest fluid perfu-sion, postoperative extracorporeal circulation assistance time, the incidence of ventricular fibrillation, ICU residence time, and ventilator assistance time were significantly lower in group B than group A, all with statistically significant differences(P<0. 05).A total of 42 cases were followed up after the operation, the follow-up time 17(3-29) months and the left ventricular e-jection fraction increased from 0.53 ±0.15 to 0.66 ±0.14(P<0.05), there was no statistically significant difference between two groups.Conclusion The perfusion modes of Low-temperature-low flow in the correct operation of ALCAPA can effectively shorten the time of aortic occlusion , improve the effect of intraoperative myocardial protection , reduce intraoperative visual field return blood volume, and reduce postoperative low cardiac output.To improve the curative effect of operation.

The correct differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) is essential for the myelination and remyelination processes in the central nervous system. Determining the regulatory mechanism is fundamental to the treatment of demyelinating diseases. By analyzing the RNA sequencing data of different neural cells, we found that cyclin-dependent kinase 18 (CDK18) is exclusively expressed in oligodendrocytes. In vivo studies showed that the expression level of CDK18 gradually increased along with myelin formation during development and in the remyelination phase in a lysophosphatidylcholine-induced demyelination model, and was distinctively highly expressed in oligodendrocytes. In vitro overexpression and interference experiments revealed that CDK18 directly promotes the differentiation of OPCs, without affecting their proliferation or apoptosis. Mechanistically, CDK18 activated the RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway, thus promoting OPC differentiation. The results of the present study suggest that CDK18 is a promising cell-type specific target to treat demyelinating disease.
