Objective:To compare the CT image characteristics of pneumoconiosis large shadow and primary lung cancer mass, and analyze the value of CT image characteristics in the differential diagnosis of pneumoconiosis large shadow and primary lung cancer.Methods:In September 2022, 43 patients with stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis who were hospitalized in Zibo Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 and 52 patients with primary lung cancer who were confirmed by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University during the same period were selected as the investigation objects, and the image characteristics of pneumoconiosis large shadow or lung cancer mass and surrounding tissues in the chest CT images of the two groups were compared. Univariate analysis, cluster analysis and cross analysis were used to screen out statistically significant indicators as independent variables, and pneumoconiosis and lung cancer as dependent variables for logistic regression analysis.Results:There were statistically significant differences between large shadow of pneumoconiosis and primary lung cancer mass in single factor CT imaging, such as irregular shape of lesions, CT attenuation value, calcification, cavitation, spiculation, liquefactive necrosis, satellite lesions, adjacent emphysema, short spicules, and pleural thickening ( P<0.05). CT value ≥92 HU (abnormal CT attenuation value), calcification, peripheral satellite lesions, pleural thickening, parapunctal emphysema, spines on the lesion margin, irregular lesion morphology were typical features of stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis, with multiple features of aggregation. The typical features of lung cancer were liquefaction necrosis, round or quasi-round appearance, cavitation and interlobar pleura. A logistic regression model was constructed using satellite lesions, spiculation, pleural thickening, and lesion abnormal CT attenuation value had an R2 of 0.880 and an accuracy of 95.3% for differentiation. Conclusion:Abnormal CT attenuation value, calcification, peripheral satellite lesions, pleural thickening, spiculation at the edges, liquefaction necrosis, interlobar pleura involvement, and cavitation can distinguish the large shadow of stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis from lung cancer mass.

Objective To investigate the impact of succinate dehydrogenase(SDH)on the modulation of human sperm functions.Methods The isolated human sperm were co-incubated with different concentrations(10,20,40 mmol/L)of SDH inhibitor disodium malonate for one or two hours.The activity of the SDH was measured by commercially available reagent kit,while the protein level of the SDH catalytic subunit SDHA was determined through Western blot analysis.Sperm functions were analyzed:1)The impact of disodium malonate on important mo-tility parameters of un-capcitated sperm including progressive motility rate(PR),total motility(TM),average pathvelocity(VAP)and the ability of capacitated sperm to penetrate viscous media were be assessed using a com-puter aided semen analysis system.2)Effect of disodium malonate on sperm survival rate was evaluated using the Eosin-Nigrosin microscopy.3)The incidence of acrosome reaction in capacitated sperm was be detected by PSA-FITC staining assay following disodium malonate treatment.Results Disodium malonate had no effect on expression of SDH catalytic subunit SHDA protein in human sperm.However,it inhibited the catalytic activity of the SDH,sperm forward motility,total motility,and the ability of sperm to penetrate viscous media.These inhibitory effects were positively correlated with the concentration of disodium malonate.Furthermore,disodium malonate had no any influence on the occurrence of spontaneous acrosome reaction in capacitated sperm.Conclusions Disodium mal-onate impairs human sperm motility by inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase activity.

Objective To verify the safety and efficacy of a new portable extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)system(Xijing Advanced Life Support System JC-Ⅲ)in large animals.Methods A total of 10 healthy small fat-tail sheep underwent veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VA-ECMO)support by carotid arterial-jugular catheterization to evaluate the performance of the JC-Ⅲ ECMO system.Systemic anticoagulation was achieved by continuous infusion of heparin.Active coagulation time(ACT)was recorded every 2 hours during the experiment,and the ACT was maintained between 200-250 s.Centrifugal pump speed is set at 3 000-3 500 r/min.The changes of hemoglobin,blood cell counts,hematocrit,liver and kidney function were monitored before and 24 h after ECMO initiation,respectively.After the experiment,the pump and oxygenator were dissected to probe the thrombosis.Results The success rate of VA-ECMO operation was 100％,and there was no hemolysis,pump thrombosis and oxygenator thrombosis after 24 h of ECMO.Before and after the operation,there were no significant changes in indicators such as hemoglobin content,white blood cell counts,platelet counts,alanine aminotransferase concentration,aspartate aminotransferase concentration,urea,creatinine,high-sensitivity troponin Ⅰ,and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(all P＞0.05).Conclusions This in vivo study confirms that Xijing Advanced Life support System JC-Ⅲ is safe and effective.

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 value of 18F-FDG PET/CT combined with conventional imaging modalities in the evaluation of the depth of tumor invasion, regional lymph node metastasis, distant organ and lymph node metastasis (TNM staging), and the adjacent structure invasion of rectal cancer. Methods:Fifty-four patients (28 males, 26 females, age (65.8±11.0) years) with pathologically confirmed rectal cancer admitted to the Affiliated Qingdao Central Hospital of Qingdao University between September 2019 and June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. 18F-FDG PET/CT examination, conventional imaging modalities including high-resolution MRI (HR-MRI), chest CT plain scan, upper abdominal MRI or CT plain scan+ enhanced examination were performed within 2 weeks before or after the rectal cancer being confirmed. The TNM staging and adjacent structural invasions including circumferential resection margin (CRM), extramural vascular invasion (EMVI), anal sphincter complex involvement were evaluated by 18F-FDG PET/CT and conventional imaging modalities separately or in combination, and those results based on imaging were compared with the pathological results or clinical follow-up results. χ2 test was used to compare the differences of diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy between the 18F-FDG PET/CT or conventional imaging modalities and combined examination. Results:The accuracy for T staging and the sensitivity and accuracy for N staging of the combined examination were 96.30%(52/54), 98.65%(73/74) and 93.91%(185/197), respectively, which were significantly higher than those of 18F-FDG PET/CT (85.19%(46/54), 66.22%(49/74), 81.73%(161/197); χ2 values: 3.97, 26.88, 13.66, all P<0.05). The specificity (91.06%, 112/123) and accuracy of the combined examination for N staging were higher than those of the conventional imaging modalities (77.24%(95/123), 83.76%(165/197); χ2 values: 8.81, 10.23, both P<0.05). The sensitivity and accuracy of the combined examination for M staging were higher than those of the conventional imaging modalities (97.01%(65/67) vs 73.13%(49/67), 95.95%(71/74) vs 68.92%(51/74); χ2 values: 15.05, 18.66, both P<0.001). The sensitivities of the combined examination in evaluating CRM and EMVI were 100%(22/22) and 95.00%(19/20), and the accuracies were 98.15%(53/54) and 96.30%(52/54), all of which were higher than those of 18F-FDG PET/CT (CRM: 54.55%(12/22), 74.07%(40/54); EVMI: 30.00%(6/20), 74.07%(40/54); χ2 values: 12.94, 13.08, 18.03, 10.56, all P<0.01). The accuracy of the combined examination in evaluating EMVI was higher than that of the conventional imaging modalities (85.19%(46/54); χ2=3.97, P=0.046). Conclusion:18F-FDG PET/CT combined with conventional imaging modalities can improve the diagnostic efficacy for TNM staging and assessment of adjacent structural invasion in rectal cancer.

ObjectiveThe objective is to investigate the possibility of isocenter dual-guided resetting of surface guided radiation therapy （SGRT） combined with image guided radiation therapy （IGRT） in postoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer. To assess the setup error accuracy between the new resetting mode and the traditional resetting mode. MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on breast cancer patients who underwent ELEKTA infinity accelerator radiotherapy in sun yat-sen university cancer center from July 13， 2021 to October 15， 2022. According to different reset methods， the patients were divided into a simulation group （41 cases） and a dual-guided group （40 cases）. The simulation group was reset using a simulator， CBCT scans were performed and setup errors were recorded during the first treatment； The dual-guided group was guided by AlignRT and combined with CBCT for isocenter dual-guided resetting， and the setup error obtained by CBCT registration was recorded. The global setup errors of chest region of interest （CROI） ， the local residual errors of supraclavicular region of interest （SROI） and the resetting time of the two reset methods were calculated and compared respectively. The advantages of the CBCT error distribution in the dual-guided resetting of SGRT combined with IGRT were analyzed. ResultsThe median of the global setup errors （X/cm， Y/cm， Z/cm， Rx°， Ry°， Rz°） of the simulation group and the median of the dual-guided group in the CROI were statistically significant （P<0.05） except the Rz and Ry directions. The local residual errors of the two groups of the SROI were calculated. The median of the errors of X/cm， Y/cm， Z/cm， Rx°， Ry°， Rz° were statistically significant （P<0.05） except the X and Y axis. The resetting time of the simulation group was significantly longer than that of the dual-guided group （238.64±28.56） s， t=-24.555， P=0.000， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05）. The CBCT error distribution of the dual-guide group was analyzed， and it was found that the absolute values of translation errors of X， Y and Z axis were all within 0.4 cm， while the proportions of ≤ 0.3 cm were 95%， 93% and 93%， respectively. The proportions of rotation errors of Rx， Ry and Rz ≤ 1.5 ° were 90%， 93% and 90%， respectively. ConclusionIn postoperative radiotherapy of breast cancer， SGRT combined with IGRT for isocenter dual-guided resetting can effectively correct the rotational setup errors and residual errors， and improve the accuracy of radiotherapy with less resetting time and high feasibility， which compared with the traditional simulator resetting mode. This precise， unmarked resetting method can be widely used in clinical practice.

Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristic of a COVID-19 outbreak caused by 2019-nCoV Omicron variant BF.7 and other provinces imported in Shenzhen and analyze transmission chains and characteristics. Methods: Field epidemiological survey was conducted to identify the transmission chain, analyze the generation relationship among the cases. The 2019-nCoV nucleic acid positive samples were used for gene sequencing. Results: From 8 to 23 October, 2022, a total of 196 cases of COVID-19 were reported in Shenzhen, all the cases had epidemiological links. In the cases, 100 were men and 96 were women, with a median of age, M (Q₁, Q₃) was 33(25, 46) years. The outbreak was caused by traverlers initial cases infected with 2019-nCoV who returned to Shenzhen after traveling outside of Guangdong Province.There were four transmission chains, including the transmission in place of residence and neighbourhood, affecting 8 persons, transmission in social activity in the evening on 7 October, affecting 65 persons, transmission in work place on 8 October, affecting 48 persons, and transmission in a building near the work place, affecting 74 persons. The median of the incubation period of the infection, M (Q₁, Q₃) was 1.44 (1.11, 2.17) days. The incubation period of indoor exposure less than that of the outdoor exposure, M (Q₁, Q₃) was 1.38 (1.06, 1.84) and 1.95 (1.22, 2.99) days, respcetively (Wald χ²=10.27, P=0.001). With the increase of case generation, the number and probability of gene mutation increased. In the same transmission chain, the proportion of having 1-3 mutation sites was high in the cases in the first generation. Conclusions: The transmission chains were clear in this epidemic. The incubation period of Omicron variant BF.7 infection was shorter, the transmission speed was faster, and the gene mutation rate was higher. It is necessary to conduct prompt response and strict disease control when epidemic occurs.
