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 clinical effectiveness of the standardized peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) implantation procedure in the management of parenteral nutrition infusion routes.Methods:Patients were enrolled from January 2018 to January 2020 and were divided into the study and control groups, receiving standard operating procedures of PICC or insertion through below elbow with or without ultrasonic guidance. The differences in the success rate of PICC insertion, catheter indwelling time, incidence rate of complications, and patient satisfaction were compared.Results:A total of 943 subjects were included. The study group and the control group were comparable in terms of baseline characteristics such as disease type, body mass index and prevalence of nutritional risk. The overall success rate was 100% in both groups. The first-attempt success rate in the study group was higher compared with the control group (92.6% vs 72.2%, χ 2 = 66.229, P < 0.001), and the catheter indwelling time was longer ([25.4 ± 2.3] d vs [21.6 ± 3.1] d, t = 21.271, P < 0.001). The incidence rate of short-term complications in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (3.50% vs 11.52%, χ 2 = 21.490, P <0.001), while there was no significant difference in the incidence rate of long-term complications between the two groups (6.78% vs 8.85%, χ 2 = 1.388, P = 0.239). Conclusion:Establishing and implementing the standardized operating procedure of PICC is an effective method to improve the management of parenteral nutrition infusion routes.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of standard treatment with or without adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with highly malignant non-metastatic prostate cancer.Methods:In this prospective non-randomized controlled study, consecutive non-metastatic prostate cancer patients with pathologically proven Gleason score of 9-10 or Gleason score of 5 admitted to Peking University First Hospital were enrolled. Four to six cycles of chemotherapy using docetaxel ± carboplatin regimen were added or not after standard radical therapy. The primary end point was 5-year event-free survival (EFS), and the secondary end points were distant metastasis-free survival (MFS), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related adverse events. The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method. The differences between two groups were analyzed by log-rank test.Results:A total of 176 patients were consecutively enrolled from November 2019 to January 2022 of which 138 patients received only standard radical therapy (control group), and 38 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy after standard radical therapy (chemotherapy group). The median follow-up time was 13.4 (2.0-34.0) months. All patients survived. The 30-month EFS rates in the chemotherapy and control groups were 100% and 85.6%, respectively ( P=0.064). There were no events in the chemotherapy group, while there were 12 cases of events in the control group, including 6 cases of biochemical recurrence and 6 cases of imaging progression. The 30-month MFS rates in two groups were 100% and 91.9%, respectively ( P=0.205). After the 1 vs. 2 propensity score matching, the EFS and MFS rates in two groups were 100% vs. 85.7% ( P=0.056), and 100% vs. 92.2% ( P=0.209), respectively. The incidence rates of grade 2 and above urinary toxicity in the chemotherapy and control groups were 2.6% and 7.2% ( P=0.354), respectively. The incidence rates of grade 2 and above rectal toxicity were 5.3% and 5.1% ( P=0.711), respectively. Grade 3 and above chemotherapy-related toxicity in the chemotherapy group were leukopenia (31.6%), thrombocytopenia (2.6%) and alopecia (13.2%). Conclusion:The addition of adjuvant chemotherapy after standard radical therapy tends to improve the overall EFS of patients with highly malignant prostate cancer, and the adverse effects are tolerable, which should be confirmed by long-term follow-up results.

Objective:Partial stereotactic ablative boost radiotherapy(P-SABR)is a method to deliver SABR boost to the gross tumor boost volume(GTVb), followed by conventionally fractionated radiotherapy to the whole tumor area(GTV). GTVb is the max volume receiving SABR while ensuring the critical organ-at-risk(OAR)falloff to 3 GyE/f. We investigated the potential advantage of proton therapy in treating bulky non-small cell lung cancer(the tumor length greater than 8 cm).Methods:Nine patients with bulky NSCLC treated with photon P-SABR in our institute were selected. For the treatment planning of proton therapy, the GTVb target area was gradually outwardly expanded based on the photon GTVb target area until the dose to critical OARs reached 3 GyE/f. The GTV and CTV areas remained the same as photon plan. A proton intensity-modulated radiation treatment plan(proton-IMPT), a photon intensity-modulated radiation treatment plan(photon-IMRT)and a photon volumetric modulated arc therapy(photon-VMAT)were created for each patient, respectively. The dosimetric parameters of different treatment plans were compared.Results:The volume ratio of GTVb-photon and GTVb-proton to GTV was(25.4±13.4)% and(69.7±30.0)%,respectively( P<0.001). In photon-IMRT, photon-VMAT, and proton-IMPT plan groups, the mean dose of CTV was(76.1±4.9)Gy, (78.2±3.6)Gy, and(84.7±4.9)Gy, respectively; the ratio of tumor volume with Biologic Effective Dose(BED)≥ 90 Gy to GTV volume was(70.7±21.7)%, (76.8±22.1)%,and(97.9±4.0)%,respectively. The actual dose and BED to the tumor area of the proton-IMPT plan group were significantly higher than those of the photon plan group(both P<0.05). Besides, the OARs dose was significantly decreased in the proton-IMPT group, with(49.2±22.0)%, (56.8±19.0)% and(16.1±6.3)% of the whole lung V5 for photon-IMRT, photon-VMAT and proton-IMPT, respectively(all P<0.001). Conclusions:Larger GTV boost target volume, higher BED and reduced OARs dose can be achieved in proton plans compared with photon plans. Proton P-SABR is expected to further improve the local control rate of bulky NSCLC with fewer adverse effects.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy for all metastases in patients with metachronous oligo-metastatic prostate cancer after radical treatment.Methods:From October 2011 to February 2021, 41 patients with prostate cancer with less than 5 metastases after radical treatment were retrospectively analyzed in a single center. The median age at radiotherapy was 68 (57-81) years. Forty patients (98%) received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). There were 28 patients in the hormone sensitive (HSPC) group and 13 patients in the hormone resistant (CRPC) group. The median initial PSA was 24.4 (7.4-399.0) ng/ml. Tumor stage: T 2 stage 11 patients, T 3 stage 27 patients, T 4 stage 3 patients.30 patients were in N 0 stage and 11 patients in N 1 stage. Gleason score was 7 in 12 patients, 8 in 9 patients, 9 in 18 patients, and 10 in 2 patients.33 patients were treated with surgery, and 8 patients were treated with radiotherapy. The time span from diagnosis to metastasis was 3.1 (0.2-1.8) years. Conventional imaging examination (CT/ MRI/bone scan) before radiotherapy was used in 7 patients, and PSMA PET/CT examination was used in 34 patients.The median PSA before radiotherapy was 1.3(0.1-33.8) ng/ml. There were 62 metastases in 41 patients, including 1 lesion in 28 patients, 2 lesions in 9 patients, 3 lesions in 2 patients, and 5 lesions in 2 patients. Fifty-four patients had bone metastases and eight had retroperitoneal lymph node metastases. Twenty-two bone metastases were located in the pelvis, 18 in the vertebral body, 12 in the ribs, one in the femur and one in the sternum.The median metastatic volume was 5.8(0.2-81.7) cm 3.Daily image-guided rotational intensity modulated radiotherapy was used to cover all metastases.Dose segmentation modes include 37.5Gy/7.5Gy/5F, 60Gy/3Gy/20F, 65-70Gy/2.6-2.8Gy/25F.The median biological effective dose (BED 3) was 120 (67-147) Gy. The primary endpoint was biochemical progression-free survival (BPFS), the secondary endpoints were acute and late toxic side effects, local relapse-free survival (LPFS), and overall survival (OS). Results:The median follow-up time was 21 months (range 5-72 months). All patients completed radiotherapy, and 16 patients had grade 1 to 2 acute toxicity and side effects, and no grade 3 or above acute and late stage side effects. 1-year LPFS was 97.1%.The 1-year and 2-year BPFS were 77.5% and 59.2%, respectively. The median BPFS time was 29 months (range 13.9-44.2 months). Univariate analysis showed that the HSPC group ( P<0.001) and the group with total metastatic volume ≤ 5.8cm 3 ( P=0.010) had higher BPFS. The median BPFS time was 37 months in the retroperitoneal lymph node metastases subgroup and 17 months in the bone metastases subgroup ( P=0.141). In the HSPC group, the median BPFS was 30(22-38) months. After radiotherapy, PSA decreased in all 28 patients, and increased in 6 patients. The median BPFS was 12(4-18) months. In the CRPC group, the median BPFS was 4(0-8) months. PSA decreased in 10 patients (76.9%) after radiotherapy, and PSA decreased in 6 patients. The median BPFS was 5(3-28) months. Three patients’PSA did not decrease after radiotherapy, and they were treated with new endocrine therapy drugs, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other systemic therapy. Conclusions:For patients with metachronous metastases after radical treatment, full coverage radiotherapy has good safety and high local control rate. HSPC patients and patients with low tumor load could be recommended to receive radiotherapy for all metastatic lesions preferentially, and patients with only retroperitoneal lymph node metastases may have better prognosis after radiotherapy than patients with bone metastases.

Nutritional support is one of the core issues in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Recently, with continued advances in this field, more and more evidences were found in the strategies, methods and routes of nutritional support for patients with SAP. Meanwhile, with deeper understanding of pathogenesis and metabolic characteristics of severe patients in acute phase, we may have a better understanding in the strategies of nutritional support from the pathogenesis and pathophysiology aspects. In this paper, we discuss the hotspots and challenges over recent year in the nutritional support of SAP. We aim to give a clear insight into current progress and help to individualize the nutritional program.

Objective:To investigate the dynamic change of nutritional risk in hepatological surgical patients during hospitalization.Methods:Anthropometric measurement and laboratory examination were conducted within 24 hours both after admission and before discharge. NRS 2002 was used to assess patients' nutritional status. The correlation between nutritional status and clinical outcomes was also analyzed.Results:A total of 600 patients were included in the study, among whom 401 were with benign diseases and 199 with malignant tumors. Compared with those values at admission, patients' weight, BMI, grip strength, calf circumference and main serum protein indicators decreased significantly at discharge ( P<0.05). The incidence of nutritional risk at discharge was 57.3%, higher than that at admission ( χ 2=6.512, P=0.011). The incidence of nutritional risk showed a significant increase during hospitalization in hepatological surgery patients ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Hepatological surgery patients were at high nutritional risk, which increased during hospitalization. The whole-course nutrition management of surgical patients should be given more attention.

Objective:To explore the amplitude of normal kidney motion in the 3D direction and its influencing factors under free-breathing condition.Methods:Clinical data of 28 patients with a KPS score≥80 who received 4D CT scan from March 2018 to March 2019 were collected. All patients were diagnosed with liver, pancreatic or lung tumors. The kidney was outlined and the geometric center and 3D coordinate values were recorded. The motion of bilateral kidneys in each direction and the 3D direction was calculated. The volume of kidney and surrounding organs, age, sex, height and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. Clinical data were statistically compared by t-test or nonparametric test. Results:The motion of the left and right kidneys in the the sup-inf (SI) direction were the largest up to (8.39±3.18) mm and (7.71±3.55) mm. The motion amplitudes of bilateral kidneys in male patients were significantly larger than those of the female counterparts in the left-right (LR), SI and 3D directions (all P<0.05). The motion amplitudes of bilateral kidneys in patients taller than 165 cm were significantly larger than those of their counterparts with a height of ≤165 cm (all P<0.05). Patients with a BMI≥25 kg/m 2 had significantly larger motion amplitudes of the left kidney in the LR and ant-post (AP) directions compared with those of normal weight counterparts (all P<0.05). The motion amplitude of the left kidney in the AP direction in patients with the left kidney volume of >180 cm 3 was significantly larger than that of patients with smaller left kidney volume ( P=0.014). Age was not significantly associated with kidney motion in each direction ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Kidney motion mainly occurs in the SI direction. The kidney motion amplitudes in male and taller patients are larger. Special attention should be paid to the use of breath motion control device to decrease the normal tissue damage.

Objectives:To investigate the efficacy and toxicity of the full coverage radiation to primary and all metastatic lesions in patients with oligometastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).Methods:Forty-four patients with oligometastatic CRPC was retrospective analyzed from Oct. 2011 to Jun. 2017 at Peking University 1 st Hospital. Before radiotherapy, average age was 72(57-86), the median value of initial PSA was 38.545 (6.640-1 066.000)ng/ml, the median value of PSA nadir after initial androgen deprivation therapy(ADT) was 0.259(0.011-18.762)ng/ml, the time interval between initial ADT to diagnosis of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer(mCRPC) was 12(4-96) months, and the median PSA value pre-radiotherapy was 3.765(2.040-187.000) ng/ml. There were 23(52.3%)patients with Gleason score 9-10 and 15(34.0%) patients with Gleason score 8. At the time of initial diagnosis, there was 41(93.2%) cases with stage T 3-T 4, 23(52.3%)cases with lymph node metastasis, and 29 (63.9%) case with distant metastasis. The number of metastatic foci before radiotherapy was 1 in 22(50.0%)cases, 2 in 12(27.3%)cases, 3 in 6(13.6%)cases and 4 in 4(9.1%)cases. There were 3 cases of pelvic lymph node metastasis (6.8%), 9 cases of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis(20.5%), 21 cases of bone metastasis(47.7%), 11 cases of bone metastasis+ lymph node metastasis(25.0%), and no visceral metastasis. Image-guided volumetric modulated arc therapy(IGRT-VMAT) was used to fully cover primary and metastatic foci. The prostate and seminal vesicle were routinely underwent 76Gy/38 fractions, and the bioequivalent dose(BED 3) was 126.67 Gy. For those with pelvic lymph node metastasis, the drainage area of pelvic lymph node was 46Gy/23 fractions. According to the tolerance of different normal tissues around the lesions, the median BED 3 of local radiotherapy dose in the metastatic foci was 112.26(91.14-140.77)Gy. The efficacy and side effects of all these patients were recorded. Kaplan-meier method was used to analyze the overall survival and the new metastasis-free survival. Results:Only 1 patient had grade 3 urinary tract obstruction and underwent indwelling catheter. All the other patients had grade 1-2 toxic and side effects. After a median follow-up of 34.5(9-96) months, the PSA-nadir after radiotherapy was 0.088(0.003-132.000)ng/ml. Forty(90.9%) patients showed a decrease in PSA after radiotherapy, and 34(77.3%) cases. showed a decrease of >80%. The 1, 3, and 5-year overall survival rates were 90.9%, 54.5%, 36.8%, the 1, 3, and 5-year new metastasis free survival rates were 47.7%, 25.0%, 12.9%, respectively.Conclusion:The full coverage radiotherapy to primary and metastatic lesions showed high PSA response rate, the satisfactory survival and tolerable toxicity in oligometastatic CRPC patients.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of hemoglobin changes in prostate cancer patients during radiotherapy combined with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and analyze the relationship between the hemoglobin changes and long-term prognosis.Methods:The changes of hemoglobin levels in 145 prostate cancer patients treated with radiotherapy combined with ADT in Department of Radiation Oncology of Peking University First Hospital from November 2011 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) was employed for conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist was utilized for endocrine therapy.Results:The median hemoglobin reduction during radiotherapy combined with ADT was 8 g/L. The higher the baseline level of hemoglobin, pelvic irradiation and GS score before radiotherapy, the more obvious the decrease of hemoglobin during treatment (all P<0.001). Pelvic radiotherapy significantly increased the decline tendency of hemoglobin throughout the combined treatment (86.8% vs. 72.8%, P=0.05). The duration of endocrine therapy before radiotherapy and the hemoglobin changes during endocrine therapy alone were not significantly correlated with the degree of hemoglobin decline during subsequent radiotherapy ( P=0.53 and 0.837). The biochemical failure-free survival did not significantly differ between patients with significant and mild hemoglobin reduction ( P=0.686). Conclusions:The baseline level of hemoglobin before radiotherapy is negatively correlated with the decrease of hemoglobin during combined therapy. Pelvic radiotherapy is positively correlated with hemoglobin reduction during combined therapy. Hemoglobin reduction during combined therapy is not associated with the long-term biochemical failure-free survival of patients.
