ObjectiveTo screen key genes associated with neuroblastoma （NB） diagnosis and prognosis using the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database， and to investigate the expression and clinical significance of nucleoporin 93 （NUP93） in NB tissues. MethodsNB gene chip data （GSE73517， GSE49710， GSE19274） were retrieved from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes （DEGs） commonly upregulated in high-risk groups were screened. The R2 database was then used to assess the prognostic value of DEGs that were commonly upregulated in the MYCN amplification group. Finally， NUP93 expression levels in the tissues from 60 NB， 25 ganglioneuroblastoma （GNB）， and 26 ganglioneuroma （GN） cases were measured by immunohistochemistry . ResultsTwenty-five DEGs were identified as commonly upregulated in high-risk groups. Among these， 10 genes （SIVA1， NUP93， STIP1， LSM4， RAI14， MYOZ3， KNTC1， TNFRSF10B， TACC3 and CEP152） showed significantly higher expression in MYCN-amplified subgroups （P＜0.05）. Survival analysis revealed that high NUP93 expression was associated with shorter overall survival （HR = 4.0， 95% CI： 3.0，5.3， P = 1.80 × 10⁻³⁴）. Immunohistochemistry results revealed that NUP93 expression in NB tissues was significantly higher than in GNB and GN tissues （P＜0.001）. NUP93 expression was positively correlated with high mitosis-karyorrhexis index （MKI； P=0.040）， poor differentiation （P＜0.001）， and MYCN expression （r_s = 0.793， P ＜0.001）. ConclusionsHigh expression of NUP93 is associated with high MKI and poor differentiation， and predicts unfavorable prognosis in patients with NB， suggesting it may promote tumor progression by regulating MYCN. NUP93 has the potential to be a novel diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for NB.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of the review and comment on inpatient medical orders in Beijing municipal hospitals， and to put forward countermeasures and suggestions for further improving related work. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the current situation of the review and comment on inpatient medical orders in 22 Beijing municipal hospitals. The statistical analysis was conducted for the survey results. RESULTS A total of 22 questionnaires were distributed， with recovery effective rate of 100%. The 22 hospitals carried out inpatient medical order comment， but their proportion varied among hospitals （0.88%-98.54%）； medical order comment mainly focused on antibiotics， proton pump inhibitors， anesthetic drugs/class Ⅰ psychotropic drugs， auxiliary drugs and other categories； 205 pharmacists participated in the comment of inpatient medical orders， most of whom hold intermediate or higher professional titles （89.27%）； 21 hospitals conducted inpatient medical order comment and feedback the results to relevant departments/responsible persons， but the intervention situation was not the same. Eighteen hospitals had carried out the review of inpatient medical orders； reviewed drug category was roughly the same as the category involved in the medical order comment； review content involved the suitability of administration routes， dosage， etc. The review was conducted mainly through the cooperation of audit software and pharmacists. CONCLUSIONS The comment and review of inpatient medical orders in Beijing municipal hospitals carried out in an orderly manner， and preliminary results have been achieved； at the same time， it is necessary to further increase the ability of participating pharmacists， improve audit standards， optimize pre-audit （No.ZYLX201805） software， and promote rational drug use among hospitalized patients through doctor-pharmacist collaboration.

BackgroundPatients after percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） are prone to experience depression， which has been shown to significantly affect patients' quality of recovery in postoperative period. Resourcefulness plays an important role between stress and depression， yet there is insufficient research evidence on the predictive effect of intellectual resourcefulness levels on depressive symptoms among patients undergoing PCI. ObjectiveTo investigate the cross-lagged effect between level of resourcefulness and depressive symptoms among patients after PCI， so as to provide references for alleviating depressive symptoms in patients after PCI. MethodsA total of 363 patients who had undergone PCI in Tangshan Gongren Hospital from September to December 2019 were selected using random sampling technique. All participants were subjected to complete Chinese Resourcefulness Scale （CRS） and Chinese version of Cardiac Depression Scale （C-CDS） at both baseline and two years after PCI. A structural equation model was constructed to determine the cross-lagged effect between the level of resourcefulness and depressive symptoms in patients. ResultsMale patients scored higher on CRS （t=-19.871， P<0.01） and lower on C-CDS （t=25.557， P<0.01） after two years of PCI compared with female patients after PCI. Correlation analysis indicated that the baseline CRS score was positively correlated with two years after PCI CRS score （r=0.550， P<0.01）， C-CDS score of baseline was positively correlated with two years after PCI C-CDS score （r=0.524， P<0.01）， baseline CRS score was negatively correlated with C-CDS scores at both baseline （r=-0.717， P<0.01） and two years after PCI （r=-0.472， P<0.01）， and two years after PCI， CRS score was negatively correlation with C-CDS score （r=-0.618， P<0.01）. The cross-lagged analysis revealed that baseline CRS score significantly predicted CRS score of two years after PCI （β=0.382， P<0.01） and C-CDS score of two years after PCI （β=-0.200， P<0.01）. Baseline C-CDS score significantly predicted C-CDS score of two years after PCI （β=0.381， P<0.01） and CRS score of two years after PCI （β=-0.235， P<0.01）. There was a reciprocal relationship between baseline CRS score and baseline C-CDS score （β=-0.717， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe established cross-lagged model yields the presence of a reciprocal prediction of level of resourcefulness and depressive symptoms measured in patients at two time points. The higher the baseline level of resourcefulness， the lighter the depressive symptoms experienced by patients two years after PCI surgery.The more severe the baseline depressive symptoms， the lower the patients' level of resourcefulness two years after PCI surgery.［Funded by Project of Hebei Provincial Department of Science and Technology （number， 182777154）］

Objective To explore the value of quantitative CT(QCT)for assessing complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods Totally 220 T2DM patients were included and divided into uncomplicated group(n=40),mono-complicated group(n=84)and multi-complicated group(n=96).Bone mineral density(BMD)of L2—L4,as well as visceral adipose tissue(VAT)and subcutaneous adipose tissue(SAT)area were collected using QCT and compared among groups.The operator characteristic curves were drawn,and the area under the curves(AUC)were calculated to observe the value of QCT indicators and comprehensive model based on clinical indicators and QCT indicators for evaluating complications of T2DM.Decision curve analysis(DCA)and clinical impact curve(CIC)analysis were used to analyze the clinical application value of the comprehensive model.Results Significant differences of patients’age,lumbar BMDs and areas of VAT were found among 3 groups(all P＜0.05).The AUC of comprehensive model for differentiating uncomplicated group from mono-complicated group,uncomplicated group from multi-complicated group and mono-complicated group from multi-complicated group was 0.753,0.865,and 0.761,respectively,higher than that of BMD,VAT and SAT area(all P＜0.05).DCA and CIC analyses showed that comprehensive model yielded clinical benefits and had good clinical applicability for assessing complications of T2DM.Conclusion QCT was valuable for assessing complications of T2DM.

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 compare the clinical efficacy between fusion with anterior plate and cross screw (APCS) via the anterolateral approach and that with posterior plate (PP) via the posterior approach in ankle arthrodesis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 64 patients (64 feet) with end-stage ankle arthritis who had been admitted to Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Honghui Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2017 to March 2021. They were 24 males and 40 females with an age of (57.7±5.5) years; by the Kellgren-Lawrence staging, 25 cases were in grade Ⅲ and 39 ones in grade Ⅳ. According to the different surgical approaches and internal fixation methods, the patients were divided into a APCS group of 31 cases subjected to the fusion with APCS via the anterolateral approach and a PP group of 33 cases subjected to the fusion with PP via the posterior approach. The clinical efficacy was compared between the 2 groups and between preoperatoion and postoperation in terms of talus center migration (TCM), sagittal talar migration (STM), foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM), and visual analog scale (VAS).Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative baseline data between the 2 groups of patients, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). In the PP group, the postoperative STM [(4.45±2.21)] mm was significantly smaller than the postoperative one [(7.22±4.22)] mm ( P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in the postoperative comparisons of TCM and STM between the 2 groups, in the comparison between postoperative TCM and preoperative TCM in the PP group, or in the comparisons between postoperative and preoperative TCM and STM in the APCS group ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (28.1±6.8) months. At the last follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the FAAM life score, FAAM exercise score, or VAS pain score ( P>0.05). The FAAM life score, FAAM motor score, and VAS pain score at the last follow-up were significantly improved in all the patients compared with the preoperative values ( P<0.05). Fusion failure was found in only 1 patient in the APCS group. Conclusion:Both PP and APCS fusion techniques can lead to similarly fine clinical outcomes in ankle arthrodesis, but PP may lead to a significant correction of sagittal talar migration.

This study aims to establish a multiplex TaqMan fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)assay for Pasteurella multocida(P.multocida).Specific primers and fluorescent labeling probes were designed based on the sequences of five podoplanar genes of P.multocida hyaC-hyaD,bcbD,dcbF,ecbJ,and fcbD in the NCBI database.We adjusted the annealing temperature by gradient setting,optimized the primer and probe concentrations by matrix method,constructed standard curves,and performed specificity,sensitivity and reproducibility tests,and finally established mul-tiplexed TaqMan qPCR assays for these five genes.The results showed that the established assay had a good linear relationship between the amplification curves.The sensitivity of this method was high,10-100 times higher than that of ordinary PCR;the specificity was strong,and there was no amplification curve in the DNA detection of eight pathogenic bacteria such as Bacillus,Proteus mirabilis,Staphylococcus aureus,and Rhizoctonia rad iodurans.This assay had a good linear rela-tionship,and the coefficients of variation for Ct values of the inter-and intra-group reproducibility tests were all less than 3％,and the detection rate of this assay was 11.25％higher than the con-ventional PCR assay through the detection of 90 clinical samples.The method established in this study is able to detect P.multocida rapidly and sensitively,which is important for its rapid clinical and laboratory diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the progress of clinical diagnosis and treatment of diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy (CNO) of foot and ankle to provide reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: The research literature on diabetic CNO of foot and ankle at home and abroad was widely reviewed, and the stages and classification criteria of CNO were summarized, and the treatment methods at different stages of the disease course were summarized. RESULTS: CNO is a rapidly destructive disease of bone and joint caused by peripheral neuropathy, which leads to the formation of local deformities and stress ulcers due to bone and joint destruction and protective sensory loss, which eventually leads to disability and even life-threatening. At present, the modified Eichenholtz stage is a commonly used staging criteria for CNO of foot and ankle, which is divided into 4 stages by clinical and imaging manifestations. The classification mainly adopts the modified Brodsky classification, which is divided into 6 types according to the anatomical structure. The treatment of diabetic CNO of foot and ankle needs to be considered in combination with disease stage, blood glucose, comorbidities, local soft tissue conditions, degree of bone and joint destruction, and whether ulcers and infections are present. Conservative treatment is mainly used in the active phase and surgery in the stable phase. CONCLUSION The formulation of individualized and stepped treatment regimens can help improve the effectiveness of diabetic CNO of foot and ankle. However, there is still a lack of definitive clinical evidence to guide the treatment of active and stable phases, and further research is needed.

Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic disease characterized by small vessel wall inflammation and cellulose necrosis mediated by ANCA. Renal injury caused by AAV is called ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis (AAGN). The paper reported a case of AAV with renal damage combined with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The patient was an elderly male with clinical manifestations of hematuria and uremia. Renal pathological examination showed AAV and renal injury. This case is the first report in China while reviewing the relevant literature, and it is still inconclusive whether this is an overlap of the two diseases or a specific pathological type of HIV-associated nephritis. We believe that AAV has the potential to occur in HIV-infected patients, so clinicians should not ignore the phenomenon of ANCA positivity in HIV-infected patients, and the follow-up of such patients needs to be enhanced. Clinical and renal pathological examinations are the main methods to diagnose HIV infection with AAV. At the same time, there are no clear guideline guidelines on how to administer immunosuppressive therapy for such patients who have immunodeficiency and are at higher risk of opportunistic infections, and in whom to make the best possible outcomes.
