As a new type of immunosuppressant，iguratimod can mediate the anti-inflammatory signaling pathway by inhibiting the proliferation of inflammatory cells and reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines， and play the role of anti-inflammatory. It can affect the proliferation of immune cells and the expression of immune factors，reduce the production and deposition of immune complexes in the body，and play the role of immune regulation. It can regulate bone metabolism by mediating signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin，Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-κB and osteoprotegerin/nuclear factor-κB receptor activating factor ligand， and play a role in bone protection. It can inhibit pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the expression of transforming growth factor β1/ Smad2/3 signaling pathway，tumor necrosis factor-α，interleukin-1，interleukin-6，matrix metalloproteinase-9 and other inflammatory cytokines in lung tissue，and inhibiting the expression of collagen and fibronectin. Its efficacy and safety have been confirmed in the clinical application of rheumatoid arthritis and primary Sjogren syndrome and included in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. It has also shown good efficacy in the clinical application of other connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and ankylosing spondylitis，and no obvious safety risks have been found.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression level of Golgi transport 1A （GOLT1A） in thyroid carcinoma and its effects on the proliferation， migration， invasion， and epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） of thyroid carcinoma cells. MethodsThe expression of GOLT1A in thyroid carcinoma was analyzed online by tumor immune estimation resource （TIMER）， the University of Alabama at Birmingham cancer data analysis portal （UALCAN）， gene expression profiling interactive analysis 2 （GEPIA2）. The expression level of GOLT1A in thyroid carcinoma cells was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RTFQ-PCR） and western blot. Cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay， colony formation assay， and transwell assay were used to detect the effects of GOLT1A expression on the proliferation， migration， and invasion of thyroid carcinoma cells. Western blot assay was used to detect the effect of GOLT1A on the expression of EMT-related genes including E-cadherin， vimentin， and N-cadherin. ResultsThe online analysis of GEPIA2， TIMER， and UALCAN showed that the expression of GOLT1A was higher in thyroid carcinoma than in normal tissues， and the expression of GOLT1A in thyroid carcinoma cells was significantly higher than in normal control cells. Knockdown of GOLT1A inhibited TPC1 cell proliferation， migration， and invasion. The expression of E-cadherin increased and the expressions of N-cadherin and vimentin decreased in GOLT1A knockdown TPC1 cells. Overexpression of GOLT1A promoted BCPAP cell proliferation， migration， and invasion. The expression of E-cadherin decreased and the expressions of N-cadherin and vimentin increased in GOLT1A overexpression BCPAP cells. ConclusionGOLT1A is highly expressed in thyroid carcinoma and can promote the proliferation， migration， and invasion of thyroid carcinoma cells.

Objective To explore the levels of serum forkhead transcription factor 1(FOXO1)and autoph-agy-related gene 7(ATG7)in elderly patients with severe pneumonia and their relationship with short-term prognosis.Methods A total of 122 elderly patients with severe pneumonia admitted to the hospital from Au-gust 2020 to August 2022 were selected as the case group,and 105 elderly people who came to the hospital for physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group.The serum levels of FOXO1 and ATG7 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The patients were divided into the survival group(n=91)and the death group(n=31)according to whether they died within 28 days after the diagnosis of severe pneumonia.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predic-tive value of serum FOXO1 and ATG7 levels for short-term mortality in elderly patients with severe pneumo-nia.The influencing factors for short-term mortality in elderly patients with severe pneumonia were explored by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results The serum FOXO1 and ATG7 levels in the case group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.615,29.591,P＜0.05).The serum expression levels of FOXO1 and ATG7 in the death group were higher than those in the survival group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=10.029,9.399,P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum FOXO1 and ATG7 for predicting short-term mortality in elderly pa-tients with severe pneumonia was 0.733(95％CI:0.673-0.799)and 0.826(95％CI:0.756-0.893),respec-tively,and the AUC of FOXO1 combined with ATG7 for predicting short-term mortality in elderly patients with severe pneumonia was 0.908(95％CI:0.862-0.949).FOXO1 and ATG7 were positively correlated with acute physiology chronic health evaluation(APACHE Ⅱ)score(r=0.693,0.627,P＜0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression showed that APACHE Ⅱ score ≥22.56(OR=3.589,95％CI:1.714-7.515),FOXO1 ≥10.67 ng/mL(OR=2.529,95％CI:1.232-5.193),ATG7 ≥16.35 pg/mL(OR=2.875,95％CI:1.414-5.845)were risk factors for death in elderly patients with severe pneumonia(P＜0.05).Con-clusion Serum levels of FOXO1 and ATG7 are significantly increased in elderly patients with severe pneumo-nia,and both could be used to evaluate the short-term prognosis of elderly patients with severe pneumonia.

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.

Methods: The demographic features, life style, status of smoking and smoking cessation in hypertensive patients were collected from 69 community health centers in Nanshan District from 2017 to 2019. The gender- and age-specific prevalence of smoking and smoking cessation was estimated among hypertensive patients, and the factors affecting hypertensive patients' smoking and smoking cessation were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 4 385 patients with hypertension were enrolled, with a mean age of (58.41±11.19) years, and the participants included 2 265 men (51.65%) and 2 120 women (48.35%). There were 724 current smokers, and the prevalence of current smoking was 16.51%, with 29.71% prevalence in males and 2.41% in females. There were 424 hypertensive patients quitting smoking, and the prevalence of smoking cessation was 36.93%, with 38.20% prevalence in males. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified male ( OR=12.885, 95%CI: 9.567-17.354 ) and drinking ( OR=2.567, 95%CI: 2.118-3.111 ) as facilitating factors for current smoking among hypertensive patients, and increasing age (OR=0.723, 95%CI: 0.642-0.815) and high exercise frequency (OR=0.881, 95%CI: 0.817-0.950) as barrier factors, while male ( OR=7.309, 95%CI: 3.304-16.165), increasing age ( OR=1.381, 95%CI: 1.120-1.703 ), unmarried ( OR=1.819, 95%CI: 1.329-2.490 ), divorced ( OR=7.837, 95%CI: 1.254-48.975 ), retired ( OR=1.545, 95%CI: 1.095-2.180 ), unemployed (OR=1.801, 95%CI: 1.057-3.066), and high exercise frequency ( OR=1.221, 95%CI: 1.096-1.360 ) were identified as facilitating factors for smoking cessation among hypertensive patients and widowed ( OR=0.285, 95%CI: 0.089-0.906 ), high educational level ( OR=0.766, 95%CI: 0.619-0.949 ), and drinking ( OR=0.488, 95%CI: 0.368-0.647 ) as barrier factors. Conclusions The prevalence of smoking is lower, and the prevalence of smoking cessation is higher among hypertensive patients than among general populations in Nanshan District. Young and middle-aged, employed, widowed men with a high educational level are key populations for tobacco control, and alcohol consumption control and intensified exercises are important measures to reduce the prevalence of smoking and improve the prevalence of smoking cessation.

Objective: To investigate the status and identify the influencing factors of smoking behaviors among residents in Nanshan District, Shenzhen City, so as to provide insights into tobacco control. Methods: Permanent residents at ages of more than 18 years were recruited from 17 communities in Nanshan District, Shenzhen City using the stratified multistage random sampling method from July to November, 2018. Participants' demographic features, smoking, smoking cessation and exposure to secondhand smoke were collected using the Individual Questionnaire for 2018 Chinese Adult Chronic Disease and Nutrition Surveillance. The factors affecting current smoking were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 1 700 questionnaires were allocated, and 1 625 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.59%. The respondents included 714 men and 911 women, with a male to female ratio of 1∶1.27, and had a mean age of ( 45.13±13.59 ) years. The prevalence of current smoking was 15.51%, with 28.15% prevalence in men and 5.60% in women. The mean age of starting daily smoke was ( 21.00±5.52 ) years, and the mean daily smoking frequency was (13.53±9.15) cigarettes/d. The prevalence of smoking cessation was 6.58%, with 10.64% in men and 3.40% in women, and the prevalence of exposure to secondhand smoke was 41.42%, including 46.63% in men and 37.32% in women. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that an educational level of junior high school ( OR=1.683, 95%CI: 1.088-2.602 ), an educational level of high school/technical secondary school/vocational school (OR=1.687, 95%CI: 1.185-2.402), an occupation of farmers ( OR=2.514, 95%CI: 1.404-4.500 ), and an occupation of commercial and service personnel ( OR=1.939, 95%CI: 1.093-3.439 ) were associated with current smoking.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of apatinib combined with first-line chemotherapy and maintenance therapy of only apatinib in patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 56 newly diagnosed patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer in the Fifth People′s Hospital of Dalian City from January 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 27 patients (experimental group) were treated with first-line chemotherapy combined with apatinib, and 29 patients (control group) were treated with first-line chemotherapy alone. In experimental group, the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 1 day before chemotherapy and 1 day after chemotherapy were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method. Response evaluation criteria in solid tumor (RECIST) was used to evaluate the efficacy. The occurrence of adverse reaction was recorded. The patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months, and progression-free survival and 1-year survival were recorded.Results:The objective response rate, median progression-free survival time and 1-year survival rate in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group: 81.5% (22/27) vs. 55.2% (16/29), 10.5 months vs. 8.5 months and 81.5% (22/27) vs. 55.2% (16/29), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); there was no statistical difference in disease control rate between 2 groups ( P>0.05). In experimental group, the patients with complete response and partial response after chemotherapy were classified as effective subgroup (22 cases), and the patients with stationary disease and progressive disease were classified as ineffective subgroup (5 cases). There were no statistical difference in VEGF and VEGFR-2 before chemotherapy between 2 subgroups ( P>0.05). The VEGF and VEGFR-2 in effective subgroup were significantly lower than those in ineffective subgroup: (275.34 ± 16.15) ng/L vs. (330.24 ± 23.21) ng/L and (89.35 ± 4.34) ng/L vs. (112.34 ± 5.45) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). There were no uncontrollable adverse reactions in 2 groups, and there was no statistical difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Application of apatinib in first-line therapy and maintenance therapy for patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer can improve clinical efficacy and survival benefit with controllable adverse reactions.
