Objective:To explore the relationship between the expression of long chain non coding ribonucleic acid (LncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (LncRNA SNHG1) and microRNA (miR)-143-3p in nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) tissue and clinical pathological features and prognosis.Methods:A prospective selection was made from 97 HSCC patients admitted to the Handan Central Hospital from March 2016 to March 2018. Surgical resection of HSCC tissue and normal mucosa tissue adjacent to cancer were taken, and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of LncRNA SNHG1 and miR-143-3p. The patient′s survival status was followed up after leaving the hospital. We compared the differences in the expression of LncRNA SNlHG1 and miR-143-3p in HSCC tissues with different clinical pathological parameters, analyzed the correlation between LncRNA SNHG1 and miR-143-3p expression, and the relationship between LncRNA SNHG1 and miR-143-3p expression and the prognosis of HSCC patients.Results:The expression of LncRNA SNHG1 in HSCC tissue was higher than that in normal mucosa tissue adjacent to cancer ( P<0.05), and the expression of miR-143-3p was lower than that in normal mucosa tissue adjacent to cancer ( P<0.05). The expression of LncRNA SNHG1 in cancer tissues of HSCC patients with tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage Ⅲ, low to medium differentiation, and lymph node metastasis was higher than that of HSCC patients with TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, high differentiation, and no lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05), and the expression of miR-143-3p was lower than that of HSCC patients with TNM stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, high differentiation, and no lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). The expression of LncRNA SNHG1 in HSCC tissues is negatively correlated with the expression of miR-143-3p ( r=-0.522, P<0.05). The 5-year cumulative survival rate of HSCC patients with high expression of LncRNA SNHG1 was lower than that of HSCC patients with low expression of LncRNA SNHG1 ( P<0.05), and the 5-year cumulative survival rate of HSCC patients with low expression of miR-143-3p was lower than that of HSCC patients with high expression of miR-143-3p ( P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that TNM stage Ⅲ and high expression of LncRNA SNHG1 were risk factors for poor prognosis in HSCC patients (all P<0.05), while high expression of miR-143-3p was a protective factor ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of LncRNA SNHG1 is upregulated and miR-143-3p is downregulated in HSCC tissues, with a negative correlation between the two, which is related to the malignant pathological characteristics and poor prognosis of HSCC.

Background In recent years, radiation diagnosis and treatment technology has been increasingly applied and popularized in the medical field, and the status of radiation health protection has attracted widespread attention. Objective To understand the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of radiological health protection in radiation workers in Jiading District of Shanghai. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 441 radiation workers from 33 medical institutions in Jiading District, Shanghai to conduct a questionnaire survey from May to August 2023. Basic information and radiation protection associated knowledge, attitude, and behavior were collected from the study participants, and the scores of knowledge, attitude, and behavior were calculated. Factors affecting the behavior were evaluated by multiple linear regression. Results A total of 441 subjects were included in this study, with an age range of 22-71 years, 53.06% male and 46.94% female. In terms of knowledge, the correct response rate of the study subjects to the seven questions on the basics of radiation protection ranged from 44.22%-96.60%, with the lowest rate of 44.22% for the question on "radiation stochastic effect diseases". The subjects acquired knowledge about radiation hygiene mainly through vocational training (98.41%), and wanted to acquire knowledge mainly about the basics of nuclear and radiation (76.42%). In terms of attitude, the recognition level (strongly agree/agree) of the study subjects on the six attitude questions ranged from 73.47% to 96.37%, in which only 56.92% of the radiological staff at tertiary hospitals believed that the radiation dose they were exposed to at work would be hazardous to their health, and 73.85% believed that it was necessary to participate in training on knowledge of radiological protection, both lower than those in other levels of hospitals. In terms of behavior, the implementation rate (always/often) of the five behavioral questions by the study participants ranged from 75.28% to 91.84%, and there was a statistically significant difference in the total behavioral scores of the study participants by levels of hospitals (P=0.015). The results of multiple linear regression showed that gender, age, and radiation work permit associated with the behavioral scores of the study subjects. Conclusion In Jiading District, Shanghai, the coginitive rate of radiation workers' basic knowledge of theoretical protection still needs to be improved, and occupational training should be carried out in a targeted manner; the attitude of radiation workers varies by levels of hospitals, and the publicity and education of workers at tertiary hospitals in particular should be strengthened; and the supervision and management of male, senior, and non-certified radiation workers in hospitals of different levels should be enhanced.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of silencing RNA-373(mir-373)on the proliferation and apoptosis of laryngeal cancer cells and its mechanism.METHODS Laryngeal cancer cells were divided into control group,overexpression group and silence group.Stable overexpression group and silence group were established by cell transfection.MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation,TUNEL method was used to detect the apoptotic ability,cell invasion was detected by Transwell chamber,cell migration was detected by cell scratch test,Western blot was used to detect the expression of β-Catenin,c-myc,CyclinD1,MMP-9,bc1-2 and Bax in Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.RESULTS Compared with over expression group,the expression of mir-373 in silence group was significantly decreased(t=15.062,P<0.05).Compared with the overexpression group,the apoptosis rate was higher and the proliferation rate was lower in the silencing group at different time points(t=31.025,16.453,22.475,29.672,P<0.05).Compared with overexpression group,the invasion ability and migration number of cells in silencing group were lower(t=35.254,37.205,P<0.05).Compared with overexpression group,the expression levels of β-Catenin,c-myc,CyclinD1,MMP-9,bc1-2 protein in silencing group were lower,and Bax protein was higher(t=4.218,5.307,4.609,5.005,4.328,3.984,P<0.05).CONCLUSION Silencing mir-373 may promote apoptosis and inhibit invasion,proliferation and migration of laryngeal cancer cells by promoting Bax expression,inhibiting the expression of β-Catenin,c-myc,CyclinD1,MMP-9 and bc1-2,and blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

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.

BACKGROUND: The clinical importance of hypokalemia is likely underrecognized in Chinese dialysis patients, and whether its clinical effect was mediated by serum albumin is not fully elucidated. This study aimed to explore the association between serum potassium and mortality in dialysis patients of a Chinese nationwide multicenter cohort, taking albumin as a consideration. METHODS: This was a prospective nation-wide multicenter cohort study. Restricted cubic splines were used to test the linearity of serum potassium and relationships with all-cause (AC) and cardiovascular (CV) mortality and a subsequent two-line piecewise linear model was fitted to approach the nadir. A mediation analysis was performed to examine relations of albumin to potassium and mortalities. RESULTS: A total of 10,027 patients were included, of whom 6605 were peritoneal dialysis and 3422 were hemodialysis patients. In the overall population, the mean age was 51.7 ± 14.8 years, 55.3%(5546/10,027) were male, and the median dialysis vintage was 13.60 (4.70, 39.70) months. Baseline serum potassium was 4.30 ± 0.88 mmol/L. After a median follow-up period of 26.87 (14.77, 41.50) months, a U-shape was found between potassium and mortality, and a marked increase in risk at lower potassium but a moderate elevation in risk at higher potassium were observed. The nadir for AC mortality risk was estimated from piecewise linear models to be a potassium concentration of 4.0 mmol/L. Interestingly, the significance of the association between potassium and mortality was attenuated when albumin was introduced into the extended adjusted model. A subsequent significant mediation by albumin for potassium and AC and CV mortalities were found ( P < 0.001 for both), indicating that hypokalemia led to higher mortality mediated by low serum albumin, which was a surrogate of poor nutritional status and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS Associations between potassium and mortalities were U-shaped in the overall population. The nadir for AC mortality risk was at a potassium of 4.0 mmol/L. Serum albumin mediated the association between potassium and AC and CV mortalities.

Objective:To learn about the iodine nutritional status of pregnant women in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, and to provide evidence for scientific supplementation of iodine of pregnant women.Methods:From May 2016 to July 2020, five sampling districts were divided in each county (district) of Suqian City according to the oriation of east, west, south, north and center each year. One township (street) was selected from each district, and 20 pregnant women who lived in the local area for more than half a year were selected from each township (street). The 30 g of household salt samples of pregnant women and 5 ml of urine samples at random once were collected to test the salt iodine and urinary iodine content.Results:A total of 2 483 household salt samples of pregnant women were tested, and the median salt iodine was 23.9 mg/kg; among them, 2 454 were iodized salt, and the coverage rate of iodized salt was 98.8%; the qualified iodized salt was 2 383, the qualified rate of iodized salt was 97.1%, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 96.0%. There were statistically significant differences in coverage rate of iodized salt, qualified rate of iodized salt and consumption rate of qualified iodized salt between different years (χ 2 = 10.55, 13.23, 11.37, P < 0.05). A total of 2 483 urine samples of pregnant women were tested, and the median urinary iodine was 167.6 μg/L, which was at the appropriate iodine level. However, the median urinary iodine of pregnant women in 2020 was 146.7 μg/L, lower than the WHO/UNICEF/ICCIDD recommendation standard (150 μg/L). The differences of median urinary iodine of pregnant women in different years, pregnancy periods and regions were statistically significant ( H = 26.08, 8.17, 19.87, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The coverage rate of iodized salt, qualified rate of iodized salt and consumption rate of qualified iodized salt in Suqian City , meet the national standard for eliminating iodine deficiency disorders. Iodine nutrition of pregnant women in Suqian City is at an appropriate iodine level, but some pregnant women may have iodine deficiency.

【Objective】 To discuss and summarize the choice of the operation plan and evaluation of curative effect of spasmodic cerebral palsy. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 80 patients with spastic cerebral palsy treated by neurosurgery in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University were collected retrospectively and analyzed statistically. Eighty patients were followed up for 12 to 52 months, with an average follow-up of 21.3 months. The muscle tension grading, spasm index, range of motion, Holden walking ability and postoperative complications were compared one year after surgery. 【Results】 Totally 64 cases received selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR) combined muscle strength muscle tension adjustment method (MMA) and 16 cases selective peripheral neurotomy combined muscle strength muscle tension adjustment method. The grade and spasm index of muscle tension decreased significantly one year after operation (P<0.001). The range of joint motion and Holden walking ability were significantly improved (P<0.001). Transient urination disorder occurred in two cases (2.5%), and limb sensation disorder in two cases (2.5%), all of which were improved within three months. Weakness of dorsiflexion of foot in one case (1.25%). 【Conclusion】 Selective partial neurotomy and muscle tension adjustment is a safe and effective surgical method to treat spasmodic cerebral palsy. Real-time evaluation of muscle tension and ankle clonus changes during the operation is an important factor to ensure the postoperative efficacy.

【Objective】 To compare the application of modified selective posterior rhiotomy of spinal nerve with traditional rhiotomy in the treatment of spastic cerebral palsy and to evaluate the efficacy and complications of the two surgical methods. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 52 patients with spastic cerebral palsy were analyzed retrospectively. Among them 23 cases were treated with traditional selective posterior rhiotomy and the remaining 29 cases with modified selective posterior rhiotomy. Operation time, amount of blood loss, proportion of root after spinal nerve amputation, postoperative complications, spasm index, ankle clonus, and Holden walking ability at 1 year after operation were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 The operation time of modified selective posterior rhiotomy was longer than that of conventional surgery (P<0.05). There was no difference in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, spasm index one year after surgery, or Holden walking ability between the two groups (P>0.05). The proportion of root was smaller in the modified group than in the traditional group (P<0.05). The improved group was superior to the traditional group in the disappearance of ankle clonus (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Modified selective posterior rhiotomy has more advantages in eliminating ankle clonus. It is a safe and effective surgical improvement method to evaluate the changes of muscle tension and ankle clonus to quantitatively cut the posterior root of spinal nerve during the operation. This can reduce the proportion of the posterior root of spinal nerve during the operation, and keep the anatomical and functional basis for reducing the occurrence of surgical complications.
