An analytical method based on ultra high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry(UHPLC-HRMS/MS)and high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry(HPLC-TQ MS)was established to reveal the characteristics of various sulfur mustard analogs with different active thiol molecules in CWC Schedule 1.A.04.Firstly,the toxic agents were prepared by micro-directed synthesis,and then the differences of the reactivity and abundance of formed adducts between different sulfur mustards and glutathione(GSH),cysteine(Cys)and N-acetylcysteine(NAC)in incubation solution,plasma and cell were investigated,respectively.The results indicated that all target sulfur mustards could react with three kinds of thiol molecules.The content of Cys and sulfur mustard adducts in plasma was higher than that of GSH and sulfur mustard adducts,while NAC and sulfur mustard adducts might have fewer types of adducts due to low content or poor mass spectrometry response.Additionally,the content of GSH and sulfur mustard adducts in exposed cells was higher than that of Cys,which should be due to the significant difference in the content of thiol molecules in plasma and cells.

Objective:The main purpose of this study is to analyse the current situation and inequity status of children's medical security in China from the vision of children first.Methods:Using data from the China Family Panel Studies 2020 and based on the framework of universal health coverage cube,multivariate regression is used to analyse the differences in medical security between children and adults and among groups of children.Results:The participation rate of children in China is 80.96%,out-of-pocket ratios are 64.71%and 90.09%for inpatient and outpatient groups respectively.In terms of participation rate,insured children are less than that of adults(OR=0.434,P<0.01);within children's groups,attending school(OR=2.075,P<0.01)significantly increases children's participation rate,while left-behind by parent(s)(OR=0.791,P<0.05)significantly decrease children's participation rate.With respect to service and cost coverage,children have higher out-of-pocket ratios compared to adults(β=0.066,P<0.01);within children's groups,children eged 6 years and older have lower out-of-pocket medical expenses(β<-0.316,P<0.01),children with higher family income(β<-0.022,P<0.05),participated(β=-0.033,P<0.01),and hospitalized(β=-0.270,P<0.01)have lower out-of-pocket ratios.Conclusion:Double in equality exists in children's medical security in China.The level of children's health security in China is significantly lower than that of adults;within children's groups,children aged 0~5 years,not in school,left-behind by parent(s),and from lower-income families are more vulnerable.It is proposed to focus on increasing the participation rate of children through measures such as optimizing the contribution for children and launching family joint insurance.Policy design should also consider the needs of children and raise the level of children's benefits.Meanwhile,the focus should be on helping vulnerable groups in children,so as to ultimately achieve"children first"in health security.

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.

The detailed knowledge of the morphological structure, drainage pathways and patterns, the first tier lymph node of the cardiac lymphatic and its relationship with the circulatory system has not yet been completed. Although, the cardiac lymphatics had been described with renewed interest in past years, which was attributed to the transparent nature of lymphatic vessels that are difficult to be observed. In this study, cardiac lymphatics of the goat heart were perfused by a direct microinjecting technique with a radiopaque mixture. This demonstrated the subepicardial and subendocardial lymph capillary networks communicating with transmyocardial lymph vessels and then entering to subepicardial collecting lymph vessels that were directed toward the atrio-ventricular sulcus where they form a confluence from which the main cardiac lymph channels. We also found that: 1) the quantity and caliber of collecting lymph vessels varied in each goat heart; 2) drainage patterns of lymph vessels in the goat heart were different in individuals; 3) the first tier lymph node that each major lymph vessel drained to was different; and 4) multiple lymphatic-venous anastomosis sites have been confirmed to exist in the subepicardium of the left and right ventricles of each goat heart, which may be the morphological structure to accelerate the return of intercellular fluid to the venous system during excessive exercise of the heart. Therefore, the information may provide reference for further study in physiological and pathological conditions of the human heart.
