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.

This is the first reported case of a female with monkeypox infection in Kunming City,Yunnan Province.An epi-demiological investigation was conducted to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of monkeypox epidemics in China,especially for early detection in females in accordance with the"Monkeypox prevention and control program(2023 ver-sion)".Diagnosis was performed as described in the"Monkeypox Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines(2022 version)".Speci-mens were collected for laboratory testing.The epidemiological investigation determined that the female patient had sexual in-tercourse with her newly married husband once before disease onset and the husband hid his history of male homosexual sex.The laboratory test results of the woman and her husband were positive for the nucleic acid of the monkeypox virus.Both had typical clinical symptoms,including rash.The epidemiological investigation,clinical symptoms,laboratory test results,and previous epidemic data of monkeypox in Yunnan province confirmed the woman as the first female infected with monkeypox in Yunnan Province and her husband was the presumed source of infection.

Abstract: Transfection of Plasmodium falciparum is helpful to study the function of its genes, such as drug resistance. However, transgenic manipulation has been very challenging, mainly due to the high A/T base sequence structure (A+T content of about 82%) and low transfection efficiency of the Plasmodium genome. Electroporation-based transfection of Plasmodium falciparum has been successfully applied in the study of certain genes, and electroporation by preloading is currently the preferred method for introducing foreign DNA into Plasmodium falciparum. The site-directed editing of Plasmodium genes mostly adopts the method of two-plasmid transfection. It is generally believed that successful transfection of Plasmodium requires a large amount of high-purity plasmid DNA and an accurate transfection system. In addition to the evaluation of the current commonly used electrotransfection methods, this paper also introduces a new transfection method, namely lyse-reseal erythrocytes for transfection (LyRET). This paper also review the role of factors such as plasmid DNA concentration, the use of transfection reagents, the setting of transfection parameters, the addition of fresh red blood cells, and the markers of successful transfection in improving the success rate and efficiency of Plasmodium transfection, in the hope of providing a reference for study in this field.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between left and right atrial diameters and fetal biological growth parameters of normal fetuses in middle and late trimester, and to establish normal reference and Z-score model for left and right atria.Methods:Three hundred and ninety-two fetuses in middle and late trimester were prospectively selected from July 2022 to October 2022 in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital.Non-cardiac biometric parameters included biparietal diameter (BPD), femoral length (FL), and gestational age (GA) based on menstrual age were assessed.Left and right atrial widths (LAW, RAW) and atrial lengths (LAL, RAL) at end-systole, left and right atrial areas (LAA, RAA) at end-systole and the heart area (HA) at end-diastole were measured in standard apical four-chamber or basal four-chamber view. The ratio of RA and LA transverse diameters (RAW/LAW), the ratio of RA and LA length diameters (RAL/LAL), ratio of RA and LA area (RAA/LAA), spherical index of the ratio of RA and LA length to transverse diameter (RASI, LASI), ratio of LA and RA area to heart area (LAA/HA, RAA/HA) were calculated. The best regression equation was established using GA, BPD and FL as independent variables and LAL, LAW, LAA, RAL, RAW, RAA as dependent variable. The correlation between the standard deviation (SD) and the independent variables GA, BPD and FL was analyzed, and then the above statistics were used to calculate the corresponding Z-score for each variable of RA and LA using the regression equation.Results:①Significant positive correlations were found between LAW, RAW, LAL, RAL, LAA and RAA with the increase of GA, BPD and FL, and the highest degree of correlation between RAA, LAA and GA was denoted ( r=0.927, 0.920, all P<0.001). ②Taking GA as an example, there was no significant correlation between RAL/LAL, RAW/LAW and GA ( r=-0.064, 0.077; all P>0.05). RAA/LAA showed a very weak positive correlation with GA ( r=0.106, P=0.037), with normal reference values of 1.002±0.091, 1.091±0.093, 1.059±0.090, respectively. Interestingly RAL/LAL was found close to 1, while RAW/LAW and RAA/LAA were always >1. No significant correlations were found between LAA/HA, RAA/HA and GA ( r=0.003, 0.056; all P>0.05), with normal reference values of 0.155±0.026, 0.163±0.026, respectively, and RAA/HA was found larger than LAA/HA. LASI showed a very weak positive correlation with GA ( r=0.112, P=0.027), while there was no significant correlation between RASI and GA ( r=0.003, P>0.05), the normal reference values were 1.068±0.113, 0.980±0.105, respectively. ③The SD of LAL, LAW, etc.showed a simple linear relationship with the independent variables. Taking RAA and GA as examples, the linear regression equation for RAA was Y=-1.690+ 0.107 0GA ( r=0.927, P<0.001) and the linear regression equation for RAA-SD was Y=-0.107+ 0.010 4GA ( r=0.320, P<0.001). The Z-scores for LAL, LAW, LAA, RAL, RAW and RAA were relatively constant with the growth of GA, BPD and FL, with the corresponding Z-scores for GA were -1.817~3.631( r=0.000 3), -1.605~2.995( r<-0.000 1), -1.700~3.107( r<0.000 1), -1.617~3.466( r=0.000 1), -1.491~3.025( r<-0.000 1), -1.566~3.104( r=0.000 2), respectively. Conclusions:This study preliminarily establish the reference value ranges and Z-score of atrial diameters in normal fetuses during middle and late trimester, providing a reference basis for accurate quantitative evaluation of fetal atrial development and analysis of fetal congenital heart abnormalities, and contributing to the early detection of pathological conditions leading to abnormal atrial size.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for postoperative delirium in colorectal cancer patients based on Meta-analysis.Methods:A computer search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and China Biology Medicine disc, and literatures on influencing factors of postoperative delirium of colorectal cancer published by each database until April 6, 2022 were selected. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the quality of the literature using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) . Stata 15.0 statistical software was used to conduct a Meta-analysis of the included literatures.Results:A total of 19 articles were included, including 5 295 patients. The Meta-analysis results showed that the combined odds ratio ( OR) values and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of various factors for postoperative delirium in colorectal cancer patients were advanced age [1.10 (1.06-1.14) ] , male [2.29 (1.81-4.44) ] , alcohol abuse [3.14 (1.63-6.06) ] , preoperative physical condition grading (≥level 3) [1.47 (1.13-1.91) ] , comorbidities [1.59 (1.16-2.17) ] , history of mental illness [7.86 (4.57-13.54) ] , history of cerebrovascular disease [5.74 (3.78-8.72) ] , cognitive impairment [3.31 (1.20-9.08) ] , albumin [0.81 (0.66-0.99) ] , perioperative blood transfusion [2.29 (1.41-3.69) ] and C-reactive protein [2.24 (1.11-4.53) ] , all P<0.05. Conclusions:The risk factors for delirium in colorectal cancer patients after operation are old age, male, alcoholism, preoperative physical condition grading≥level 3, combined diabetes and other basic diseases, history of mental disease, history of cerebrovascular disease, cognitive dysfunction, low albumin, perioperative blood transfusion and elevated C-reactive protein.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between the levels of D-dimer and inflammatory factors C-reactive protein（CRP）and prognosis in patients with 2019 novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia（COVID-19）.Methods The clinical data of a total of 242 patients with COVID-19 who were treated in hospital from February 4th 2020 to February 18th 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the classification standard,the patients with COVID-19 were divided into common patients(131 cases), severe patients（88 cases）, and critical patients（23 cases）. The difference between the levels of D-dimer and CRP in patients with pneumonia of different severity and clinical outcomes was compared and the correlation between D-dimer and CRP was analyzed.ResultsThe levels of D-dimer and CRP in severe and critical patients were significantly higher than those in common patients(P<0.05). The levels of CRP in critical patients were significantly higher than those in severe patients(P<0.05). These two indicator levels of patients who died of COVID-19 within 30 dayswere significantly higher than those who survived. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the levels of D-dimer were positively correlated with the levels of CRP(r=0.649，P<0.05).ConclusionD-dimer and CRP are highly expressed in severe and critical patients, and the severe abnormality of the two indicators in the early stage of COVID-19 predicted the poor prognosis. D-dimer and CRP have certain clinical value in evaluating the severity and prognosis of COVID-19.

Objective: To investigate the relationships of intracranial compartment volumes with the severity of clinical symptoms before surgery, and the degree of symptom improvement one year after cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)shunt surgery in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus(iNPH). Methods: Twenty-one patients meeting the diagnosis criteria of international guidelines of iNPH and undergoing CSF shunt surgery in Department of Neurosurgery in our hospital from 2016 to 2017 were included.All patients underwent brain MRI measurement before surgery, and were evaluated by using 3-meter timed up and go test(TUG), minimum mental state examination(MMSE), idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus grading scale(iNPHGS)and modified Rankin scale(mRS)before and one year after CSF shunt procedures.The ventricular volume, brain volume, pericerebral CSF volume, total intracranial volume and Evans' index were measured in the pre-operative imaging of the brain.The following four pre-operative intracranial compartment volumes were calculated: the relative ventricular volume, brain volume ratio, pericerebral CSF volume ratio and the ratio of ventricular volume to pericerebral CSF volume. Results: The scores of gait, cognitive function and urinary function were improved after surgery in iNPH patients(all P<0.05). There were no significant difference in the correlation of intracranial compartment volumes(the relative ventricular volume, brain volume ratio, pericerebral CSF volume ratio and the ratio of ventricular volume to pericerebral CSF volume)and Evans' index with the severity of clinical symptoms including gait, cognitive function and urinary function before surgery, and with the degree of symptom improvement one year after surgery in iNPH patients(all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in intracranial compartment volumes between patients having improvement in mRS, TUG, MMSE and iNPHGS and patients having no improvement one year after surgery in iNPH patients(all P>0.05). Conclusions Patients with iNPH can benefit from CSF shunt surgery and have improvements of clinical symptoms including gait, cognitive function and urinary function.Preoperative intracranial compartment volumes(the relative ventricular volume, brain volume ratio, pericerebral CSF volume ratio and the ratio of ventricular volume to pericerebral CSF volume)and Evans' index have no correlations with the severity of clinical symptoms before surgery, and have no correlations with the degree of symptom improvement one year after surgery in iNPH patients.For this reason, preoperative intracranial compartment volumes and Evans' index cannot be used to predict whether or not CSF shunt surgery can improve specific clinical symptoms.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence and significance of preeclampsia with different degrees of gestational hypertension on infant hearing.METHODS: Totally 1046 newborns whose mothers had a history of pre-eclampsia with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy were divided into groups according to the severity of pre-eclampsia and whether they were premature or not from Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2017 in the Forth Hospital of Shijiazhuang.Hearing tests were conducted and compared with newborns whose mothers had no history of pre-eclampsia with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.RESULTS: Of the 14 741 infants studied,57 were finally diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss,with a total abnormality rate of 0.39%(57/14 741).Among them,34 infants with pre-eclampsia without hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy had an abnormality rate of 0.25%.There were 12 infants with mild preeclampsia in their mothers,with an abnormality rate of 1.47%.There were 11 infants whose mothers had severe preeclampsia,with an abnormality rate of 4.76%.There were significant differences between mild group and control group,severe group and control group,and severe group and mild group(P<0.01).Among the term infants,33 cases were finally diagnosed as sensorineural hearing loss,with a total abnormality rate of 0.26%.Among them,21 full-term infants with pre-eclampsia without hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy had an abnormality rate of 0.18%.There were 7 infants whose mothers had mild preeclampsia,with an abnormality rate of 1.30%.There were 5 infants with severe preeclampsia,with an abnormality rate of 3.91%.There were significant differences between mild group and control group,severe group and control group,and severe group and mild group(P<0.01,P< 0.01,P<0.05,respectively).Among premature infants,a total of 24 cases were finally diagnosed as sensorineural hearing loss,with an overall abnormality rate of 1.09%.Among them,there were 13 infants with preeclampsia whose mothers had no hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy,with an abnormality rate of 0.71%.There were 5 infants with mild preeclampsia in their mothers,with an abnormality rate of1.81%.There were 6 infants with severe preeclampsia,with an abnormality rate of 5.83%.There was no significant difference between the mild group and the control group(P>0.05),but there was significant difference between the severe group and the control group,and between the severe group and the mild group(P<0.01 and P<0.05,respectively).CONCLUSION: Premature infants with severe hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy and preeclampsia are at high risk of hearing impairment.The higher the degree of hypertension,the higher the rate of hearing impairment.The emphasis should be put on strengthening the hearing monitoring and follow-up of such children.

Objective To explore the relationship between the values of total tumor perfusion parameters in primary hepatocellular carcinoma and tumor volume and peritumoral perfusion parameters,and analyze its correlation with liver ChildPugh classification.Methods Forty-seven patients with primary liver cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to January 2015 were selected to perform 320 row volume CT perfusion imaging.The parameters of hepatic artery perfusion(HAP),portal vein perfusion(PVP) and hepatic perfusion index(HAPI) in tumor and peritumoral liver tissues were calculated based on total tumor measurement.The relationship between tumor perfusion parameters and ChildPugh classification of liver function,tumor volume and total tumor perfusion parameters,total tumor perfusion parameters and peritumoral perfusion parameters were analyzed.Results There was no correlation between tumor volume and total tumor perfusion parameters,peritumoral perfusion parameters (P ＞ 0.05),and there was no correlation between total tumor perfusion parameters and peritumoral perfusion parameters(P ＞0.05).There were significant differences between HAP,PVP and HAP of total tumor perfusion in different liver Child-Pugh classifications(P ＜ 0.05).With the increase of Child-Pugh classification of liver function,the HAP and HAPI of tumor gradually increased while PVP gradually decreased (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There is no correlation between tumor volume,total tumor perfusion parameters and peritumoral perfusion parameters.There is also no correlation between total tumor perfusion parameters and peritumoral perfusion parameters.There are significant differences in perfusion parameters between different Child-Pugh classifications of liver function,and the perfusion parameters obtained by the total tumor measurement can be used as the imaging indexes to reflect liver reserve function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnosis and management of penile fracture.

METHODSFrom June 1993 to May 2017, 46 cases of penile fracture were treated in our hospital, averaging 33.5 (25－42) years of age and 3.45 (1－10) hours in duration, of which 41 occurred during sexual intercourse, 4 during masturbation and 1 during prone sleeping, 4 with hematuria, but none with dysuria or urethral bleeding. Hematoma was confined to the penis. Emergency surgical repair was performed for all the patients, 45 under spinal anesthesia and 1 under local anesthesia, 16 by coronal proximal circular incision and the other 30 by local longitudinal incision according to the rupture location on ultrasonogram. The tunica albuginea ruptures averaged 1.31 (0.5－2.5) cm in length, which were sutured in the "8" pattern for 6 cases and with the 3－0 absorbable thread for 18 cases. The skin graft or negative pressure drainage tube was routinely placed, catheters indwelt, and gauze used for early pressure dressing. In the recent few years, elastic bandages were employed for 3－5 days of pressure dressing and antibiotics administered to prevent infection. The stitches and catheter were removed at 7 days after surgery.

RESULTSShort-term postoperative foreskin edema occurred in 14 of the 16 cases of circular degloving incision, but no postoperative complications were observed in any of the cases of local incision. Twenty-eight of the patients completed a long-term follow-up of 49.4 (10－125) months, which revealed good erectile function, painless erection, and satisfactory sexual intercourse.

CONCLUSIONSFor most penile fractures, local longitudinal incision is sufficient for successful repair of the tunica albuginea, with mild injury, no influence on the blood supply or lymph reflux, and a low rate complications. It therefore is obviously advantageous over circular degloving incision except when the cavernous body of urethra is to be explored, which necessitates circular degloving incision below the coronal groove.
