Objective To investigate the effect of cinobufacini on inhibiting colorectal cancer metastasis by regula-ting the polarization of M2 macrophages.Methods THP-1 was induced into M0 type macrophages.The condi-tioned medium of HCT116 cells was collected to stimulate M0 type macrophages.The polarization of M2 type mac-rophages was observed by flow cytometry,real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA experiments.The conditioned me-dium of M0 type macrophages and HCT116-Mφ cells was collected to stimulate HCT116 cells.The ability of migra-tion and invasion was observed by wound healing assay and Transwell assay.The effect of cinobufacini on the via-bility of HCT116 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay.The conditioned medium of HCT116 and HCT116+cinobufa-cini was collected to stimulate M0 type macrophages.The polarization of M2 type macrophages was observed by flow cytometry,real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA experiments.The conditioned media of HCT116-Mφ cells and(HCT116+cinobufacini)-Mφ cells were collected to stimulate HCT116 cells.The changes of migration and inva-sion ability were observed by wound healing assay and Transwell assay.Results After stimulation of M0 type mac-rophages in HCT116 cell conditioned medium,the morphology of M0 macrophages turned into fusiform cells,the proportion of CD11b+CD206+cells increased,and the expression of M2 macrophage markers IL-10 and TGF-β in-creased.The migration and invasion ability of HCT116 cells were significantly enhanced after stimulation in the conditioned medium of HCT1 16-Mφ cells.After the addition of cinobufacini,not only the polarization proportion of M2 macrophages decreased,but also the metastatic effect mediated by M2 macrophages was inhibited.Conclusion HCT116 cells can induce the polarization of M2 macrophages,while cinobufacini can inhibit the tumor metastasis mediated by M2 macrophages by inhibiting the polarization of M2 macrophages.

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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with Ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-ALL) .Methods:Patients with Ph-ALL who underwent CAR-T therapy followed by allo-HSCT from March 2018 to August 2023 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were included, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Of the 21 patients, 14 were male and 7 were female. The median age at the time of CAR-T therapy was 22 (6-50) years. Seven patients had ABL1-like rearrangements, and 14 had JAK-STAT rearrangements. Prior to CAR-T therapy, 12 patients experienced hematologic relapse; 7 were multiparameter flow cytometry minimal residual disease (MFC-MRD) -positive and 2 were MFC-MRD-negative. CAR-T cells were derived from patients’ autologous lymphocytes. Nine patients were treated with CD19 CAR-T cells, and 12 were treated with CD19/CD22 CAR-T cells. After assessment on day 28 after CAR-T therapy, 95.2% of the patients achieved complete remission, with an MRD-negative remission rate of 75%. Nineteen patients developed grade 0–2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and 2 patients suffered grade 3 CRS, all cases of which resolved after treatment. All patients underwent allo-HSCT after CAR-T therapy. The median time from CAR-T therapy to allo-HSCT was 63 (38-114) days. Five patients experienced relapse after CAR-T therapy, including four with hematologic relapse and one with molecular relapse. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rates in the ABL1 and JAK-STAT groups were (83.3±15.2) % and (66.6±17.2) %, respectively ( P=0.68) . The 3-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were (50.0±20.4) % and (55.6±15.4) % in the ABL1 and JAK-STAT groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in 3-year OS or RFS between the two groups. Conclusions:CAR-T therapy followed by allo-HSCT leads to rapid remission in most patients with Ph-ALL and prolongs leukemia-free survival.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the clinicopathological features of maxillofacial granular cell tumors (GCT) with the aid of immunohistochemical staining. METHODS: Seven cases of maxillofacial GCT were retrospectively collated, and the microscopic morphology of maxillofacial GCT was analyzed. The expression of S-100, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), SOX-10, CD68, actin, desmin, and Ki-67 in GCT was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The cases were observed in the follow-ups after clinical treatment. RESULTS: All seven GCT tumors lacked envelopes and were poorly defined. Microscopically, the sizes of the tumor cells were large and appeared with inconspicuous cell membranes, forming a syncytium-like appearance. The cytoplasm was filled with characteristic eosinophilic granules. The immunohistochemical results showed that six cases were NSE-positive, five cases were S-100-positive, seven cases were CD68-positive, five cases were SOX-10-positive, one case was actin-positive, and seven cases were desmin-negative. The Ki-67 index did not exceed 5% in all cases. In the follow-up sessions, none of the six cases presented a recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Maxillofacial GCT has a characteristic histological structure. Immunohistochemical S-100, CD68, and other indicators can assist in diagnosis, and the prognosis is good after clinical resection.

Objective To establish the quality standard of compound Yuhong suppository. Methods Angelica dahurica, colophony and Sophora flavescens Alt. were identified by thin layer chromatography（TLC）method. The contents of sulfadiazine and dyclonine hydrochloride were determined by HPLC with diode array detection method. The mobile phase was methanol-0.02 mol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate (adjusted to pH 3.3 with phosphoric acid) for gradient elution. The detection wavelength was 280 nm for sulfadiazine and dyclonine hydrochloride. Results The three Chinese traditional medicines were identified by TLC with clear spots. The linear ranges of sulfadiazine and dyclonine hydrochloride were good in 12.40-99.20 μg/ml (r=0.999 9) and 2.56-20.48 μg/ml (r=0.999 9). The average recovery was (99.21±0.43) % (n=9) and (99.54±0.68) % (n=9). Conclusion This method is accurate, sensitive, and reproducible. It can be used as a standard method for the quality control of compound Yuhong suppository.

Objective:To explore the influence of blood pressure during peri-thrombolysis period (from admission to 24 h after thrombolysis) in intracranial hemorrhage, improvement of neurological function, primary endpoint event (recurrence of symptomatic stroke) and secondary endpoint events (complex cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, and all-cause death) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 422 patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase during hospitalization at National Center for Stroke in Lianyungang from January 2015 to March 2019 were followed up for 90 d. According to the quintile of mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures during peri-thrombolysis period, they were divided into group of blood pressure <130.00 mmHg (Q1), group of blood pressure of 130.00-140.49 mmHg (Q2), group of blood pressure of 140.50-147.99 mmHg (Q3), group of blood pressure of 148.00-158.00 mmHg (Q4), and group of blood pressure >158.00 mmHg (Q5), and group of blood pressure <71.30 mmHg (G1), group of blood pressure of 71.30-76.19 mmHg (G2), group of blood pressure of 76.20-81.89 mmHg (G3), group of blood pressure of 81.90-90.79 mmHg (G4), group of blood pressure >90.79 mmHg (G5). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyse were used to evaluate the relations of blood pressure with postoperative intracranial hemorrhage and neurological function improvement. Kaplan-Meier curve, Log-rank test and multivariate Cox proportional risk model were used to evaluate the relations of blood pressure with primary endpoint event and secondary endpoint events.Results:(1) After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of postoperative intracranial hemorrhage in patients from Q2 was significantly lower than that in patients from Q5 ( OR= 0.160, 95%CI: 0.031-0.827, P=0.029). (2) After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of postoperative improvement of nerve function in patients from Q2 and Q3 was significantly higher than that in patients from Q5 ( OR=2.144, 95%CI: 1.043-4.407, P=0.038; OR=2.224, 95%CI: 1.105-4.479, P=0.025); the probability of postoperative improvement of nerve function in patients from G3 and G4 was significantly higher than that in patients from G5 ( OR= 2.153, 95%CI: 1.081-4.287, P=0.029; OR=2.182, 95%CI: 1.131-4.210, P=0.020). (3) After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Cox proportional risk model showed that the risk of primary endpoint event in patients from Q1 and Q2 was significantly lower than that in patients from Q5 ( HR=0.079, 95%CI: 0.010-0.613, P=0.015; HR=0.211, 95%CI: 0.062-0.724, P=0.013). (4) After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate Cox proportional risk model showed that the risk of secondary endpoint events in patients from Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 was significantly lower than that in patients from Q5 ( HR=0.246, 95%CI: 0.100-0.607, P=0.002; HR=0.360, 95%CI: 0.177-0.732, P=0.005; HR=0.448, 95%CI: 0.246-0.817, P=0.009; HR=0.467, 95%CI: 0.252-0.867, P=0.016). Conclusion:The risks of postoperative intracranial hemorrhage, primary endpoint event and secondary endpoint events in patients with acute ischemic stroke decrease with the decrease of systolic blood pressure during peri-thrombolysis period; moderate blood pressures (systolic blood pressure: 130.00-147.99 mmHg; diastolic blood pressure:76.20-90.79 mmHg) are beneficial for improvement of neurological function.

Objective Most common infected bacteria were found to analyze their effects on clinical characteristics and 3-year outcome of patients with diabetic foot ulcer ( DFU ) . Methods Materials of cases with positive bacterial culture were selected from DFU patients. 203 cases were infected with the most common 6 strains of mono-bacteria, and 62 cases were infected with multi-bacteria. Data were grouped according to the most common 6 infected bacteria. The outcomes of healing, recurrence, amputation, cardiac events, cerebrovascular events and death were calculated of 3 years after hospitalization. Clinical characteristics of mono-and multi-infected groups and these 6 mono-bacterial infection groups, and risk factors to outcome were analyzed. Results No significant difference was found in baseline clinical characteristics, cardiac and cerebrovascular events, and death during follow-up between mono-and multi-infected groups. The most common 6 infected bacteria were staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, proteus, enterococcus faecalis, escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae. Among these groups, there were no significant differences of baseline clinical characteristics and recurrence, cardiac and cerebrovascular events, and death except for the foot ulcer and foot ulcer related prognosis. In staphylococcus aureus infected group, severe lower extremity arterial disease (8.5％), Wagner grade 3-5 (48.9％), moderate and severe infection rate (34.0％) were significantly lower than other groups, and the healing rate ( 93. 6％) was higher than other groups ( all P<0.05). Severe lower extremity arterial disease, cardiac function grading over 3(NYHA), eGFR<60 ml·min-1· (1.73 m2)-1, duration of DFU over 30 days were the main risk factors for ulcers′healing. Wagner grade over 3 was main risk factor for minor amputation. Severe lower extremity arterial disease, Hb<90g/L were the main risk factors for major amputation. Cardiac function grading over 3 ( NYHA ) was main risk factor for cardiac events, and also for death. ALB<30 g/L was main risk factor for death (all P<0.05). Conclusion DFU patients infected with different strains of bacteria were significantly different in foot ulcer and healing rate, while not in cardiac and cerebrovascular events and death.

Objective To explore the efficacy of two treatment methods for thoracic tuberculosis.Methods According to the different surgical methods,61 patients with thoracic tuberculosis were randomly divided into A group (31 cases) and B group (30 cases).A group was treated with simple thoracic tuberculosis soft tissue lesions removed,and B group was treated with focus removal + rib resection + muscle flap packing.The operation time,pain time,extubation time,hospital stay,wound fluid,cure rate and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time,pain time,hospital stay time of A group were shorter than those of B group [(35.0 ± 11.0)minvs.(50.0 ±9.5)min,(1.8±1.3)d vs.(4.2 ±2.4)d,(12.5 ±3.4)d vs.(18.8 ±5.7)d],the differences were statistically significant (t =6.257,4.275,5.334,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the extubation time,wound effusion,cure rate and recurrence rate between the two groups [(5.8 ± 3.1) d vs.(5.5 ± 2.8) d,2 cases vs.1 case,100.0％ vs.100.0％,6.4％ vs.3.3％,t =8.691,x2 =9.867,13.674,15.871,all P ＞ 0.05].Conclusion Analysis of the specific situation should be individualized on the chest wall tuberculosis,in the case of rib destruction,the focus should be removed + rib resection + muscle flap packing,if there is no rib destruction,simple chest wall tuberculosis soft tissue lesions removal is more safe,because it is less traumatic for patients.

Aim To isolate and characterize the human circulating fibrocytes from human peripheral blood and explore the effects of curcumin on human circulating fi-brocytes.Methods The cells were isolated and puri-fied by density gradient centrifugation,and identified by flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry .Then , CCK-8 and flow cytometry were used to study the effect of curcumin on the proliferation as well as COL I ex-pression of human circulating fibrocytes,respectively. Results After being isolated the cells expressed CD34,CD45 and COLⅠ,among which 79.7% were both CD45 and collagen I positive,typical of human circulating fibrocytes.Curcumin could exert regulatory effects on proliferation of human circulating fibrocytes. Exposure of the cells to curcumin for as short as 24 hours promoted their growth,while prolonged treatment (72 h ) significantly inhibited cell propagation and downregulated the COLⅠ levels,best manifested at a concentration as high as 20 μmol · L-1 .Conclusion The proliferation of cells and COLⅠexpressions can be effectively inhibited by curcumin with the prolonged action period and high concentrations.
