Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

Objective To explore the risk factors of anal fistula after incision and drainage surgery for perianal abscess,and establish an individualized predictive nomogram model.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 224 patients with perianal abscess who underwent incision and drainage surgery in Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi University of Chinese Medicine from May 2020 to January 2023,according to whether anal fistula occurred within 3 months after surgery,there were 169 cases in the non anal fistula group and 55 cases in the anal fistula group.Single factor method and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were applied to analyze the influencing factors of anal fistula after incision and drainage of perianal abscess,a nomogram risk model was constructed using independent risk factors to predict the occurrence of anal fistula after incision and drainage of perianal abscess,and the consistency and differentiation of the model were verified.Results The proportions of male,diabetes,deep abscesses,intestinal origin of pathogenic bacteria,and abscesses in anal fistula group were higher than those in non anal fistula group(P＜0.05).Male,diabetes,deep abscess,intestinal origin of pathogenic bacteria,and history of abscess were independent risk factors for anal fistula after incision and drainage of perianal abscess(P＜0.05).The ideal curve of the nomogram model fitted well with the correction curve,indicated that the measured values were basically consistent with the predicted values.The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was 0.946(95％CI=0.914-0.979),indicated that the column plot model has good predictive discrimination.Conclusion The independent risk factors for anal fistula after incision and drainage surgery of perianal abscess include male,diabetes,deep abscess,intestinal origin of pathogenic bacteria,and history of abscess.The construction of related nomogram model can guide clinical screening of high-risk groups to a certain extent.

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.

Cbf-14 is a novel antimicrobial peptide composed of 14 amino acids.An optimized reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method with electrospray-ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LC-ESI-QTOF/MS) method was developed for separation, identification and characterization of structurally related peptide impurities in Cbf-14 gel.Chromatographic separation was carried out on an Agilent ZORBAX SB-Phenyl column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm), with acetonitrile-20 mmol/L ammonium formate buffer (adjusted to pH 3.0 with formic acid) as eluent using gradient elution.Under the established conditions, Cbf-14 and its structurally related peptide impurities were well separated; and a total of 24 impurities were detected and identified, of which 5 were impurities in the preparation manufacturing process and 19 were stressed products.Based on high resolution mass spectrometry analysis, the origins and formation mechanisms of these impurities were located.The obtained results are useful for the establishment of the manufacturing process, storage condition and quality control of Cbf-14 gel.

Objective: To screen the chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients among the high-risk groups in Jing'an district of Shanghai, and provide suggestions for the screening and analysis of CKD. Methods: Retrospective analysis was used to analyze the disease status of high-risk groups of CKD who participated in community screening from July 2016 to November 2018. A total of 25 199 subjects underwent two laboratory examinations at intervals of more than 3 months. The CKD was diagnosed in high-risk groups according to the diagnostic criteria, and the patients with CKD were classified and stratified. The screening population was divided into groups according to gender, age and medical history to compare the difference in the detection rate of CKD. Results: There were 788 CKD patients diagnosed previously in this screening population, and 3 713 CKD patients were confirmed by this district-level hospitals screening. Potential CKD patients were 4.71 times as many as previously known CKD patients. The CKD detection rate was 14.73%. The CKD detection rate of female high-risk group was higher than that of male (16.00% vs 13.00%, χ²=44.213, P<0.001). The CKD detection rate in the elderly group (≥65 years old) was higher than that in the non-elderly group (14.94% vs 13.76%, χ²=4.001, P=0.046). The CKD detection rate in high-risk group with hypertension, hyperuricemia and family history of chronic nephritis was significantly higher than those in the group without such diseases (all P<0.05). Conclusions The number of patients detected in high-risk groups of CKD is 4.71 times as much as previously known patients, indicating that it is very necessary to carry out CKD screening in community high-risk group. Women, elder, hypertension, hyperuricemia, and a family history of chronic nephritis are independent risk factors for patients at high risk of CKD.

Objective To determine the effect of COMMD7 inhibition on invasion and migration in liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs),and investigate the possible mechanism.Methods After LCSCs were infected by shRNA lentiviral vectors of COMMD7,adhesion assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the invasion and migration,and phalloidin staining was employed to observe the morphological changes.Western blotting was adopted to measure the expression of E-cadherin,N-cadherin and Vimentin.Results COMMD7 knockdown significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of LCSCs.The relative cell quantity of adhesion was 1.00 ± 0.12 and 2.35 ± 0.20 respectively in control cells and infected cells,suggesting there were significantly more adhesive cells in the infected group (P ＜ 0.05).The relative cell quantity per visual field of migration was 1.00 ±0.04 and 0.24±0.03,and that of invasion was 1.00 ±0.05 and 0.24 ±0.04 respectively in the control cells and infected cells,and there were significantly less invasive and migrated cells in the infected group (P ＜0.05).What's more,COMMD7 knockdown also induced some morphological changes of cells corresponding to the weakened abilities of migration and invasion.All the changes above were associated with up-regulation of E-cadherin (P ＜ 0.05) and down-regulation of N-cadherin and Vimentin (P ＜0.05),the molecules related to mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET).Conclusion COMMD7 knockdown inhibits the invasion and migration in LCSCs,which may be through its regulation on the MET course.

Objective: To explore the impact of different atorvastatin doses on platelet function and highreactivity in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after emergent percutaneouscoronary intervention (PCI) therapy.
Methods:A total of 120 STEMI patients with emergent PCI therapy were randomly divided into 2 groups:Standard group, the patients received atorvastatin 20 mg/day and Intensive group, the patientsreceived atorvastatin 40 mg/day, all patients were treated for 7 days. n=60 in each group. Blood lipids and biochemistry were examined before PCI and 7 days after atorvastatin treatment respectively;platelet fibrin clot strength induced by ADP (MAADP), AA and ADP induced platelet inhibition rate were measured by thrombelastography (TEG) test.
Results: With 7 days treatment, compared with Standard group, Intensive group showed decreased MAADP (38.40±17.40) mm vs (45.70±14.50) mm, P<0.05. On day 7 of atorvastatin treatment, compared with Standard group, Intensive group had reduced occurrence rate of high ADP reactivity (18.3%vs 31.7%), P<0.05. The occurrence rate of high AA reactivity was similar between 2 groups (13.3%vs 18.3%), P>0.05. The patients were followed-up for 3 months and the end point events including unstable angina, non-fatal MI, in-stent restenosis, in-stent thrombosis, and cardiovascular death or target vessel revascularization were similar between 2 groups, P>0.05.
Conclusion: Early stage and short term administration of high dose atorvastatin could obviously inhibit platelet activity in STEMI patients after emergent PCI;such intensive atorvastatin treatment had no reduction on end point events in 3 months follow-up period.

Objective To develop a machine simultaneously integrating mechanized environmental cleaning and automatic mollusciciding and to evaluate its effectiveness of field application,so as to provide a novel Oncomelania hupensis snail control technique in the large?scale marshlands. Methods The machine simultaneously integrating mechanized environmental clean?ing and automatic mollusciciding,which was suitable for use in complex marshland areas,was developed according to the mech?anization and automation principles,and was used for O. hupensis snail control in the marshland. The effect of the machine on environmental cleaning and plough was evaluated,and the distribution of living snails was observed at various soil layers follow? ing plough. The snail control effects of plough alone and plough followed by mollusciciding were compared. Results The ma?chine could simultaneously complete the procedures of getting vegetation down and cut vegetation into pieces,plough and snail control by spraying niclosamide. After plough,the constituent ratios of living snails were 36.31% ,25.60% ,22.62% and 15.48% in the soil layers at depths of 0-5,6-10,11-15 cm and 16-20 cm respectively,and 61.91% living snails were found in the 0-10 cm soil layers. Seven and fifteen days after the experiment,the mortality rates of snails were 9.38% and 8.29% in the plough alone group,and 63.04% and 80.70% in the plough + mollusciciding group respectively(c27 d = 42.74,c215 d =155.56,both P values < 0.01). Thirty days after the experiment,the densities of snails were 3.02 snails/0.1 m2 and 0.53 snails/0.1 m2 in the soil surface of the plough alone group and the plough + mollusciciding group,which decreased by 64.92% and 93.60% ,respectively,and the decrease rate of snail density was approximately 30% higher in the plough + mollusciciding group than that in the plough alone group. Conclusions The machine simultaneously integrating mechanized environmental cleaning and automatic mollusciciding achieves the integration of mechanical environmental cleaning and automatic niclosamide spraying in the complex marshland areas,which provides a novel technique of field snail control in the large?scale setting in Chi?na.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of COMMD7,a hepatocellular carcinoma gene,promoting human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HePG2 cells)proliferation and migration.Methods The specific siRNA (small interference RNA)was designed for COMMD7 gene,siRNA transfected HepG2 cells was set as Si-HePG2 group,and the PTEN inhibitor treating group (Si +BpV-HePG2),the control group (HePG2),the empty vector group (HePG2 was infected empty vector,N-HePG2 group)were also set up.qRT-PCR was per-formed to evaluate the mRNA expression changes of COMMD7 and PTEN,and Western blot was performed to test the expression changes of COMMD7,PTEN,p-AKT,and AKT.MSP method was performed to detect methylation level.CCK8 was performed to test cell proliferation a-bility.Transwell was performed to detect the invasion of cells.Results The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression of COMMD7 gene in Si-HePG2 group was lower (0.101 times)than the control group and the N-HePG2 group,and the expression of PTEN gene was higher (2.841 times)than the control group and the N-HePG2 group,and all the results above were of statistically singificant difference (P <0.05). The results of Western blot showed that in Si-HePG2 group,the expression of COMMD7 reduced obviously,the expression of PTEN increased and the expression of p-AKT was significantly inhibited.In Si +Bpv-HePG2 group,the expression of PTEN was significantly inhibited and the expression of p-AKT was increased.The result of MSP showed that compared with the control group and the N-HePG2 group,Si-HePG2 group was more obviously demethylated,which indecated that the expression of COMMD7 gene could induce PTEN demethylation.The results of CCK8 showed that the proliferation in Si-HePG2 group was decreased compared with the control group,N-HePG2 group and Si +BpV-HePG2 group,and the difference was singificant (P <0.05).The results of Transwell showed that the numbers of cell permeating septum in Si-HePG2 group,N-HePG2 group,control group and PTEN group were (17.4 ±2.7),(36.2 ±3.2),(41.6 ±4.5)and (47.6 ±1.8)respec-tively,which were obviously decreased with a significant difference (P <0.05).Conclusion siRNA interference decreased the expression of COMMD7.It can induced the demethylation of PTEN gene in HePG2 and increase the expression of PTEN gene to inhibit PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,thus decreasing the proliferation,migration and invasion ability of HePG2 cells.
