		                        			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 investigate the correlation between subjective hearing impairment and cognitive function in the elderly in the community of Changzhou City.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 1 132 elderly people recruited from 4 communities in Changzhou City from August to October in 2023 were selected as the research objects. The social demographic and cognitive function were collected, cognitive function was assessed using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), while the connected test, replica cube, and clock draw in the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) were selected to assess visuospatial and executive function. The subjects were divided into the no-hearing impairment group (726 subjects) and hearing impairment group (406 subjects) according to the self-reported hearing impairment of the elderly. The basic data of the two groups and the differences in different cognitive domains were analyzed, and the correlation between subjective hearing impairment and cognitive function of the elderly in the community was analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:The incidence of cognitive impairment in the hearing impairment group was significantly higher than that in the no-hearing impairment group (20.2% vs 6.6%), the scores of location orientation, memory, attention and calculation, recall, language ability, clock draw, and the total score of MMSE, visuospatial and executive function in the hearing impairment group were all significantly lower than those in the normal hearing group [(4.76±0.78) vs (4.91±0.45) points, (2.79±0.59) vs (2.90±0.36) points, 4 (3, 5) vs 5 (4, 5) points, 2 (1, 3) vs 2 (2, 3) points, 8 (7, 9) vs 9 (8, 9) points, 2 (2, 3) vs 3 (2, 3) points, 27 (24, 29) vs 27 (26, 29) points, 3 (2, 3) vs 3 (2, 4) points] (all P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between subjective hearing impairment and cognitive function impairment in community-dwelling elderly ( OR=3.544, 95% CI: 2.410-5.213) ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence of cognitive impairment is higher in the community-dwelling elderly with subjective hearing impairment, and hearing impairment is a positive correlation factor of cognitive impairment.

		                        			Objective:To explore the levels of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and lymphocyte activating gene 3 (LAG-3) in the immune microenvironment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), their relationship with clinicopathological features, and their impact on prognosis.Methods:The tumor tissue sections and formaldehyde fixed paraffin embedded tissues from 174 DLBCL patients diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from February 2012 to August 2017 were retrospectively collected. The tissue chips were prepared, and the immunohistochemistry (IHC) method was used to detect the expressions of PD-1 and LAG-3 proteins in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) of tissue chips [including whether they were positive (positive for IHC score 1-9 points, negative for 0 point) and expression level (high expression was 4-9 points on IHC score, low expression was 0-3 points)]. The relationship between the expression levels of PD-1 and LAG-3 and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients was analyzed. Spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the expression levels of PD-1 and LAG-3. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) curves of patients with different expression levels of PD-1 and LAG-3, and log-rank test was used for comparison between the groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the influencing factors of OS and PFS in patients.Results:Of the 174 DLBCL patients, 95 (54.6%) were male and 79 (45.4%) were female; the median age was 60 years old (5-87 years old). The proportions of patients with PD-1 and LAG-3 positive in TIL of tumor tissues were 79.3% (138/174) and 78.8% (137/174), and the proportions of patients with high expression were 35.6% (62/174) and 37.9% (66/174), respectively. Among patients with bone marrow involvement, the proportion of patients with high expression of PD-1 [62.5% (15/24) vs. 32.5% (39/120), P= 0.006], the proportion of patients with high expression of LAG-3 [54.2% (13/24) vs. 32.5% (39/120), P= 0.050] were higher than those without bone marrow involvement. The expression levels of PD-1 and LAG-3 were not associated with gender, age, clinical stage, international prognostic index score, functional status (PS) score, lactate dehydrogenase level, whether there were B symptoms, whether it was intranodal, tumor length, whether it was germinal center B cell type, number of extranodal involvement sites, and whether it was treated with R-CHOP regimen (all P > 0.05). There was a positive correlation between PD-1 and LAG-3 expression levels in TIL of tumor tissues ( r = 0.202, P = 0.008). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that PS score (>2 points vs. ≤2 points: HR = 5.458, 95% CI 2.082-14.307, P = 0.001), R-CHOP regimen treatment (no vs. yes: HR = 2.181, 95% CI 1.086-4.379, P = 0.028) were independent influencing factors of OS, and PS score (>2 points vs. ≤2 points: HR = 3.913, 95% CI 1.579-9.698, P = 0.003), R-CHOP regimen treatment (no vs. yes: HR = 2.609, 95% CI 1.412-4.819, P = 0.024), LAG-3 expression level (low expression vs. high expression: HR = 0.531, 95% CI 0.283-0.995, P = 0.048) were independent influencing factors of PFS. There were no statistical differences in PFS and OS between patients with high and low PD-1 expression levels in TIL (both P > 0.05). PFS and OS in patients with high LAG-3 expression were worse than those in patients with low expression (both P < 0.05). OS in patients with high expressions of PD-1 and LAG-3 was worse than that in patients with low expressions of PD-1 and LAG-3 ( P = 0.044). Conclusions:The expression levels of PD-1 and LAG-3 in TIL of DLBCL patients' tumor tissues are related to bone marrow involvement, which are not related to most other clinicopathological features, and the prognosis of patients with high expressions of PD-1 and LAG-3 is poor.

		                        			Objective:To explore the related influencing factors of interstitial pneumonia (IP) in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) patients treated with R-CHOP-like chemotherapy regimen.Methods:The clinical data of 377 CD20 + B-NHL patients in Minhang Branch of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Hospital from January 2014 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether rituximab was used, patients were divided into R-CHOP-like chemotherapy group (275 cases) and CHOP-like chemotherapy group (102 cases). The incidence of IP in patients stratified according to different clinical factors was analyzed, and logistic multivariate regression was used to analyze the risk factors of IP. Results:Thirty-eight out of 377 patients (10.08%) developed IP; the incidence rates of IP in the R-CHOP-like chemotherapy group and the CHOP-like chemotherapy group were 13.09% (36/275) and 1.96% (2/102), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 10.169, P < 0.01). There were statistical differences in the incidence rates of IP between patients with or without rituximab, with or without liposomal doxorubicin in the regimen, and with or without grade Ⅳ neutropenia occurred during the treatment [13.09% (36/275) vs. 1.96% (2/102), 18.18% (22/ 121) vs. 6.25% (16/256), 15.43% (27/175) vs. 5.45% (11/202), all P < 0.01]. Logistic regression analysis showed that the application of rituximab ( OR = 6.761, 95% CI 1.369-33.711, P = 0.020) and grade Ⅳ neutropenia ( OR = 7.443, 95% CI 2.132-8.199, P = 0.001) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of IP. Conclusions:R-CHOP-like chemotherapy regimen increases the occurrence of IP in patients with B-NHL. The use of rituximab and grade Ⅳ neutropenia are independent risk factors for the occurrence of IP.

		                        			Objective To understand the level of bactericidal antibodies against Neisseria meningitidis and their rate of protection in children aged between 3 and 23 months, in Liuzhou, in 2012. Methods Convenience sampling was performed in Liujiang, Rong'an and Sanjiang Counties from May through August, 2012. The inclusion criteria for 603 subjects were:Children aged between 3 and 23 months;no history of meningococcal meningitis;no vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C;more than 30 days from the last vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A. Demographic information and immunization history of the subjects were obtained using questionnaires. Venous blood samples (2.0 ml each) were collected and levels of Neisseria meningitides antibodies determined using a Serum Bactericidal Assay (SBA). The geometric mean titer (GMT) of serum bacterial antibodies was positive when it was greater than or equal to 1∶2 and protective when greater than 1∶8. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare differences in the positive and protective rates of serum antibodies of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A and Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C, among children with different demographic characteristics. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare differences in the GMT of serum antibodies of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A and Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C, among children with different demographic characteristics. Results Of 603 subjects, 325 (53.9%) were female and 278 (46.1%) were male; 276 (45.8%), 143 (23.7%) and 184 (30.5%) subjects were administered, respectively, no treatment, 1 dose vaccine and 2 doses vaccine. The GMT of serum antibodies against group A Neisseria meningitidis was 1∶1.11, the positive rate was 7.6% (46) and the protective rate was 2.0% (12). The GMT of antibodies in children receiving 1 vaccine dose was 1∶1.16 and the protective rate was 3.5% (5), both values higher than those in children receiving 2 vaccine doses (GMT: 1∶1.2, protective rate: 3.5% (5)). However, these differences were not statistically significant (GMT: H=0.64, P=0.728; protective rate: Fisher's exact test, P= 0.080). The GMT of antibodies in children receiving 1 and 2 doses of meningococcal polysaccharide vaccines were 1∶1.12 and 1∶2.30, respectively (≤180 d). The GMT of serum antibodies for group C meningococcal vaccine was 1∶1.18 and its positive and protective rates were 14.6% (88) and 2.2% (13), respectively. Conclusion Children aged between 3 and 23 months are susceptible to Neisseria meningitidis groups A and C. The immune effectiveness of group A meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine is relatively poor in this age group and their antibody levels decreased rapidly.
