Objective:Cardiac arrest (CA) represents a significant public health challenge, posing a substantial threat to individual health and survival. To enhance the survival rates of patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), Baoan District in Shenzhen City has undertaken exploratory initiatives and practical interventions, yielding promising preliminary outcomes.Methods:1.Innovate emergency medical services by developing a "four-circle integration" system that connects to the hospital. This system encompasses the social emergency medical system, the out-of-hospital emergency medical system, the in-hospital emergency medical service system, and the intensive care treatment system. 2.Develop a comprehensive model for the construction of a social emergency medical training system, characterized by party leadership, government oversight, departmental coordination, professional guidance, technological support, and community involvement, termed the "Baonan Model." Additionally, establish evaluation criteria to assess the effectiveness of the social emergency medical training system in Baonan District; 3. Develop a cardiac arrest registration system and a social emergency medical training management system for Baonan District; 4. Enhance the proficiency in treatment techniques and the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among emergency medical professionals; 5. Strengthen and advance the development of a "five-minute social rescue network" to address the critical "emergency window period." .Result:In Baonan District, 9.18% of the public is trained in emergency medical skills. The bystander CPR rate for OHCA is 26.11%, AED use is at 4.78%, the 30-day survival rate is 6.31%, and the discharge survival rate is 4.44%.Conclusion:The implementation of the aforementioned measures can substantially enhance the survival rate of patients experiencing OHCA at the time of discharge.

Objective To explore the automated identification and diameter measurement methods for inferior vena cava (IVC) based on clinical ultrasound images of IVC. Methods An automated identification and localization method based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm was proposed. Tracking algorithm was used for identifying and continuously locating to improve the efficiency and accuracy of measurement. Tests were conducted on 18 sets of ultrasound data collected from 18 patients in intensive care unit (ICU),with clinicians' measurements as the gold standard. Results The recognition accuracy of the automated method was 94.44％ (17/18),and the measurement error of IVC diameter was within the range of±1.96s (s was the standard deviation). The automated method could replace the manual method. Conclusion The proposed IVC automated identification and localization algorithm based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm has high recognition success rate and IVC diameter measurement accuracy. It can assist clinicians in identifying and locating IVC,so as to improve the accuracy of IVC measurement.

An innovative on-site real-time avian influenza virus(AIV)detection method was estab-lished by integratingrecombinase-aided amplification(RAA)with the clustered regularly inter-spaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein(Cas)system.After analy-zing 120 sequences of the M gene of avian influenza viruses of different subtypes publicly available on NCBI,the RAA primers and crRNA were designed based on the identified highly conserved segment and used for RAA nucleic acid amplification.After the amplified products were transferred to a CRISPR/Cas13a detection system,the fluorescence values were monitored throughout the re-action process to indicate the results.The sensitivity and specificity of the RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a method were validated using gradient dilutions(106-100 copies/μL)of positive plasmids and sev-en other avian viruses.Fifty clinical samples were tested using this method and compared with the national standard fluorescence RT-PCR method.The results indicated that the detection limit for RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a method was 102 copies/μL,a two-fold improvement over the standard RAA.Specificity assay showed the established method only detected AIV with no cross-reactivity with other seven avian viruses.Compared to the national standard fluorescence RT-PCR method,this method exhibited 100％specificity,95.24％accuracy,and 98.00％consistency in detection of clinical samples.In conclusion,a universal and rapid RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a for detection of AIV was established with the capacity of achieving detection within 60 minutes at 37 ℃,which provides a rapid,sensitive,and specific on-site detection method for AIV.

We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of single-course initial regimens in patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). In this trial (NCT01823315), 276 patients were analyzed. Patients were allocated to three initiated regimens: single-course methotrexate (MTX), single-course MTX + dactinomycin (ACTD), and multi-course MTX (control arm). The primary endpoint was the complete remission (CR) rate by initial drug(s). The primary CR rate was 64.4% with multi-course MTX in the control arm. For the single-course MTX arm, the CR rate was 35.8% by one course; it increased to 59.3% after subsequent multi-course MTX, with non-inferiority to the control (difference -5.1%,95% confidence interval (CI) -19.4% to 9.2%, P = 0.014). After further treatment with multi-course ACTD, the CR rate (93.3%) was similar to that of the control (95.2%, P = 0.577). For the single-course MTX + ACTD arm, the CR rate was 46.7% by one course, which increased to 89.1% after subsequent multi-course, with non-inferiority (difference 24.7%, 95% CI 12.8%-36.6%, P < 0.001) to the control. It was similar to the CR rate by MTX and further ACTD in the control arm (89.1% vs. 95.2%, P =0.135). Four patients experienced recurrence, with no death, during the 2-year follow-up. We demonstrated that chemotherapy initiation with single-course MTX may be an alternative regimen for patients with low-risk GTN.

Objective:To investigate the effect of sodium octanoate on renal-intestinal ischemia- reperfusion injury (IRI) after resuscitation from traumatic cardiac arrest in pigs.Methods:Twenty-two miniature piglets with a body weight of (37.6±2.5)kg were divided into three groups according to the random-number table method: normal group ( n=7), IRI group ( n=7) and IRI-treated group ( n=8). A renal-intestinal IRI model of the pig was established by allowing femoral artery to bleed through blood pump at a rate of 2 ml·kg -1·min -1 until cardiac arrest, followed by whole blood transfusion through the femoral vein at a rate of 5 ml·kg -1·min -1 after observation for 6 minutes, and 50% of total blood loss was reinfused before resuscitation. Both the IRI group and IRI-treated group were with IRI model, while normal group was just monitored without induction of IRI. Besides, IRI-treated group was injected intravenously with sodium octanoate (30 mg/kg) for 1 hour at 5 minutes after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). (1) The rate of resuscitation success, survival rate at 4, 24 hours after resuscitation, blood loss when reaching cardiac arrest criteria and resuscitation time when reaching the ROSC criteria were compared in the three groups. (2) Levels of serum creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen (BUN), intestinal fatty acid binding protein (iFABP) and diamine oxidase (DAO) were measured before resuscitation and at 1, 2, 4, 24 hours after resuscitation. (3) The animals were sacrificed at 24 hours post-resuscitation to harvest renal and intestinal tissues rapidly. TUNEL test was applied for the cellular apoptosis index. Prussian blue was used to detect the rate of iron deposition. Western blot analysis was used to measure levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member4 (ACSL4). Results:In three groups, all pigs survived. There was no significant difference in blood loss or resuscitation time between IRI group and IRI-treated group (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in levels of SCr, BUN, iFABP or DAO before resuscitation and at 1, 2, 4, 24 hours after resuscitation in normal group (all P>0.05). But their levels were gradually increased at 1, 2, 4, 24 hours after resuscitation from that before resuscitation in IRI group and IRI-treated group (all P<0.01). Among three groups, levels of SCr, BUN, iFABP and DAO had no significant difference before resuscitation (all P>0.05), but showed obvious increase in IRI group and the IRI-treated group at 1, 2, 4, 24 hours after resuscitation compared with normal group, especially in IRI group (all P<0.01). In normal group, IRI group and IRI-treated group after 24 hours for resuscitation, the cellular apoptosis index of renal tissues was (2.3±0.8)%, (44.0±5.4)% and (13.8±4.3)%; the cellular apoptosis index of intestinal tissues was (2.6±0.9)%, (61.3±10.4)% and (20.8±3.7)%; the rate of iron deposition of renal tissues was (0.6±0.1)%, (3.9±1.0)% and (1.7±0.3)%; the rate of iron deposition of intestinal tissues was (0.8±0.1)%, (4.9±0.9)% and (2.1±0.5)% (all P<0.01). The cellular apoptosis index and rate of iron deposition of both renal and intestinal tissues were the highest in IRI group. The renal-intestinal expression of GPX4 in IRI group and IRI-treated group was lower than that in normal group at 24 hours after resuscitation (all P<0.05), with the lowest in IRI group. The renal-intestinal expression of ACSL4 in IRI group and IRI-treated group was higher than that in normal group at 24 hours after resuscitation (all P< 0.01), with the highest in IRI group. Conclusion:Sodium octanoate can reduce renal-intestinal IRI after resuscitation from traumatic cardiac arrest in pigs, the mechanism for which is probably due to that sodium octanoate can inhibit cellular apoptosis and reduce ferroptosis by regulating the expression levels of GPX4 and ACSL4.
