Objective To investigate the mechanism of fisetin inhibiting the activation of microglia NOD-like receptor family protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome in microglia and alleviating cognitive impairment after sepsis.Methods C57BL/6 mice were used to establish the sepsis model by cecal ligation and puncture.Mice were divided into four groups:the sham group,the sepsis group,the sepsis+caspase-1 knockout group(sepsis+Cas-1-/-group)and the sepsis+fisetin group.Evans blue was used to detect the permeability of blood-brain barrier(BBB).Morris water maze was used to evaluate the cognitive function of mice.Western blot assay and immunofluorescence double staining were used to detect the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome-related proteins including caspase-1,N-terminal fragment of the GSDMD(GSDMD-N),interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-18 and mitophagy-related proteins(Pink1,Parkin and LC3-Ⅱ)in brain tissue and microglia.Results Compared with the sham group,expression levels of caspase-1,GSDMD-N,IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly increased in the sepsis group(P＜0.05).Compared with the sepsis group,expression levels of caspase-1,GSDMD-N,IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly decreased in the sepsis+Cas-1-/-group(P＜0.05).The expression levels of Pink1,Parkin and LC3-Ⅱ were significantly higher in the sepsis+fisetin group than those of the sepsis group(P＜0.05),and expression levels of caspase-1,GSDMD-N,IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly lower(P＜0.05).After fisetin intervention,the permeability of BBB was decreased and the cognitive impairment(decreased escape latency and increased frequencies of crossing the platform)was alleviated in the sepsis+fisetin group compared with those of the sepsis group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Fisetin may alleviate central inflammation and cognitive impairment after sepsis by inhibiting the activation of microglial NLRP3 inflammasome through activating mitophagy.

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.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Previous research has shown maternal betaine supplementation alleviates fetal-derived hepatic steatosis. Therefore, this study examined the anti-inflammatory effect of maternal betaine intake in offspring mice and its mechanism.MATERIALS/METHODS: Female C57BL/6J mice and their offspring were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the treatment received during gestation and lactation: control diet (CD), fatty liver disease (FLD), and fatty liver disease + 1% betaine (FLD-BET). The FLD group was given a high-fat diet and streptozotocin (HFD + STZ), and the FLD-BET group was treated with HFD + STZ + 1% betaine. After weaning, the offspring mice were given a normal diet for 5 weeks and then dissected to measure the relevant indexes. RESULTS: Compared to the CD group, the offspring mice in the FLD group revealed obvious hepatic steatosis and increased serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α; maternal betaine supplementation reversed these changes. The hepatic mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-18, and Caspase-1 were significantly higher in the FLD group than in the CD group. Maternal betaine supplementation reduced the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing C-terminal caspase recruitment domain (ASC). Maternal betaine supplementation also reversed the increasing protein expressions of nitric oxide dioxygenase-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 in offspring mice exposed to HFD + STZ. Maternal betaine supplementation decreased the homocysteine (Hcy) and s-adenosine homocysteine (SAH) levels significantly in the livers. Furthermore, the hepatic Hcy concentrations showed significant inverse relationships with the mRNA expression of TNF-α, NLRP3, ASC, and IL-18. The hepatic SAH concentration was inversely associated with the IL-1β mRNA expression. CONCLUSIONS The lipotropic and anti-inflammatory effect of maternal betaine supplementation may be associated with the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome in the livers of the offspring mice.

【Objective】 To study the value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in the diagnosis and prediction of disease severity in adolescent atopic dermatitis (AD). 【Methods】 A total of 100 AD patients and 50 healthy individuals were selected from Dermatology Department of our hospital.The age, gender, blood routine results of all subjects were collected, and NLR and PLR were calculated.The diagnostic value of NLR and PLR for AD and severe AD was discussed by receiver operating curve (ROC), the relationship between NLR, PLR and the risk of AD was analyzed. 【Results】 The AUC of NLR and PLR in the diagnosis of AD was 0.780 and 0.769, with the best cutoff value at 2.95 and 98.50 respectively, and no significant difference in the predictive value between NLR and PLR was noticed (P>0.05). The proportion of NLR≥2.95, PLR≥98.50, red blood cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), white blood cell count (WBC) and eosinophils (E) in AD group were significantly higher than those in control group (all P<0.05). Before and after adjusting for confounding factors, the odds ratio (OR) of patients with NLR≥2.95 and PLR≥98.50 were 12.250 vs 6.048 and 5.525 vs 4.352, respectively.NLR, PLR and E in mild AD group were lower than those in severe AD group, and NLR and E in moderate AD group were lower than those in severe AD group, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The AUC of NLR and PLR in diagnosis of severe AD was respectively 0.712 and 0.675, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). NLR, PLR, RDW and E were positively correlated with SCORAD score, and the r values were 0.254, 0.198, 0.202 and 0.219 respectively. 【Conclusion】 The increase of NLR and PLR were the risk factors of AD, and had certain diagnostic value for AD and severe AD.

More and more relevant research results show that anatomical segmentectomy has the same effect as traditional lobectomy in the surgical treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (diameter<2.0 cm). Segmentectomy is more difficult than lobotomy. Nowadays, with the promotion of personalization medicine and precision medicine, three-dimensional technique has been widely applied in the medical field. It has advantages such as preoperative simulation, intraoperative positioning, intraoperative navigation, clinical teaching and so on. It plays a key role in the discovery of local anatomical variation of pulmonary segment. This paper reviewed the clinical application of three-dimensional technique and briefly described the clinical application value of this technique in segmentectomy.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and toxicity of oxaliplatin reintroduction combined with raltitrexed as second-line che-motherapy after the first-line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer patients. Methods:The 48 evaluable pa-tients with advanced colorectal cancer following disease progression prior to the first-line chemotherapy were treated with oxaliplatin and raltitrexed (raltitrexed 3 mg/m2 ivgtt d1, oxaliplatin 100-130 mg/m2 ivgtt d1, q21d). All 48 patients were divided into two groups:Group A, non-oxaliplatin-based regimens as the first-line chemotherapy, 20 cases;Group B, oxaliplatin-based regimens as the first-line chemotherapy, 28 cases. Each group was evaluated every two cycles. Results:The response rates (RR) of Groups A and B were 30.0%(6/20) and 32.1%(9/28), the disease control rates (DCR) were 80.0%(16/20) and 75.0%(21/28), the median progression free survival time (mPFS) was 6.5 and 7.0 months, and the median overall survival time (mOS) was 10 and 13 months, respectively. No statistical sig-nificance was observed between the two groups in their RR, CR, mPFS, and mOS (P=0.264, 0.514, 0.713, 0.788), respectively. The most common adverse effects observed wereⅠ-Ⅱgrades of bone marrow suppression, aminotransferase abnormality, and digestive toxici-ties. The incidence of neurotoxicity (Ⅰ-Ⅱgrades) between the two groups was similar. Conclusion:Instead of irinotecan combined with raltitrexed, oxaliplatin reintroduction combined with raltitrexed for second-line chemotherapy after the first-line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer patients is feasible.
