Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum procalcitonin(PCT),interleukin-6(IL-6),C-reactive protein/albumin(CRP/ALB)and microRNA-335-5p(miR-335-5p)for bowel obstruction after colorectal cancer(CRC)surgery.Methods A total of 100 CRC patients admitted to the hospital and under-went surgical treatment from July 2022 to July 2023 were selected to observe whether intestinal obstruction occurred in patients 1 week after surgery,and they were divided into the intestinal obstruction group(13 ca-ses)and the non-intestinal obstruction group(87 cases)according to the occurrence of intestinal obstruction.The clinical data and serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB,miR-335-5p levels of the two groups were compared,and Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of intestinal obstruc-tion after CRC surgery.The predictive value of serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB,miR-335-5p for the occurrence of intestinal obstruction after CRC surgery was analyzed.Results Postoperative serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB and miR-335-5p levels were higher than the preoperative levels in CRC patients(P＜0.05).Among 100 pa-tients for CRC surgery,a total of 13(13.00％)d eveloped intestinal obstruction within 2 weeks after surgery.The proportions of rectal tumor and clinical stage Ⅲ、miR-335-5p were higher in the intestinal obstruction group than those in the non-intestinal obstruction group,and the proportion of laparoscopic surgery was lower than that in the non-intestinal obstruction group(P＜0.05).Serum PCT,IL-6,and CRP/ALB levels were higher in the intestinal obstruction group than those in the non-intestinal obstruction group,miR-335-5p level was lower than that in the non-intestinal obstruction group(P＜0.05).Serum PCT,IL-6 and CRP/ALB were independent risk factors for the occurrence of intestinal obstruction after CRC surgery(P＜0.05),and miR-335-5p was a protective factor(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB,miR-335-5p and the combined detection for predicting the occurrence of intestinal obstruction after CRC sur-gery was 0.818,0.805,0.862,0.938,and 0.980,and AUC of the combined detection was higher than that of single detection(ZPCT-combined detection-2.193,ZIL-6 combined detection-2.210,Z CRP/ALB combined detection=2.188,ZmiR-335-5p combined detection=2.437,P＜0.05).Conclusion Postoperative serum PCT,IL-6,CRP/ALB and miR-335-5p of CRC patients have a certain predictive value for the occurrence of intestinal obstruction in patients,and the combined detection could largely improve the accuracy of predicting the occurrence of postoperative intes-tinal obstruction.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of low-dose recombinant interleukin-2(rIL-2)therapy on immunocyte subsets and its side effects in children with solid tumor.Methods:A total of 22 children(11 males and 11 females)with solid tumor in our department from December 2012 to November 2017 were selected,with a median age of 9(3-16)years old when starting IL-2 therapy.ALL surgeries and chemotherapy of children had been completed before low-dose rIL-2 therapy,and 17 cases achieved complete remission(CR)and 5 cases achieved partial remission(PR).A low-dose rIL-2 therapy was given 1 month after chemotherapy for 1 year:4 × 105 IU/(m2·d),s.c.for every other day,3 times per week.The immunocyte subsets were detected every 3 months until the end of treatment,meanwhile,disease condition and therapy-related side effects were followed up.Results:After low-dose rIL-2 therapy in 22 children,the absolute values of CD3+T cells,CD3-CD56+natural killer cells,CD3+CD4+helper T cells(Th)and CD3+CD8+cytotoxic T cells were up-regulated remarkably,as well as Th/suppressor T cells(all P＜0.05).While,there were no significant differences in absolute value and proportion of CD4+CD25+CD127-Treg cells during therapy.Among the 17 children who achieved CR before rIL-2 therapy,14 cases continued to maintain CR after therapy,while 3 cases relapsed,and with 2 died after treatment abandonment.The 5 children who achieved PR before low-dose rIL-2 therapy were evaluated CR by PET/CT scan after treatment.In the early stage of low-dose rIL-2 therapy,1 child developed skin rashes at the injection sites,and 2 children ran a slight to mild transient fever.Their symptoms disappeared without any organ damage after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion:Low-dose rIL-2 therapy has good drug tolerance,and changes the distribution of anti-tumor immune-cell subgroup in peripheral blood of children with solid tumor remarkably without up-regulation of absolute value and ratio of Treg cells.

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.

Based on the principle of magnetic anastomosis technique, the design of magnetic anastomosis system for endoscopic tissue clamping is proposed. The system includes a semi-ring magnet, a special structure transparent cap and a detachable push rod. With the help of the existing digestive endoscopy and endoscopic tissue gripper, the endoscopic close clamping and anastomosis of the bleeding or perforated tissue can be completed. After the anastomosis, the magnet falls off and is discharged through the digestive tract. Animal experiments showed that the system was easy to use, the fistula was clamped firmly, the magnet was discharged for 7~21 days, and there was no magnet retention and digestive tract obstruction. Further safety verification, optimization of endoscopic operation, the system can be used in clinical trial.

Objective:To study the cut-off values of urinary microalbumin (mAlb), transferrin (TRF) and α1-microglobulin (α1-MG) during pregnancy in pre-eclampsia (PE) with proteinuria.Methods:A total of 210 pregnant women were enrolled in Renji Hospital from January 2016 to December 2019, including 92 (43.8%) cases of PE pregnant women and 118 (56.2%) cases of normal pregnant women. According to the diagnostic test evaluation method, the positive predictive values, negative predictive values and accuracy of non-pregnant cut-off values of urinary mAlb, TRF and α1-MG for the quantitative determination of 24-hour proteinuria were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to determine the optimal cut-point values of urinary mAlb, TRF and α1-MG during pregnancy.Results:(1) The diagnostic study of non-pregnant adults urinary mAlb, TRF and α1-MG cut-off values for the determination of 24-hour proteinuria value: when urinary mAlb was 30.0 mg/L, TRF was 2.5 mg/L, α1-MG was 12.5 mg/L as the cut-off value, the positive predictive values of the corresponding 24-hour proteinuria value≥ 300 mg were 88.1% (89/101), 88.2% (90/102) and 78.9% (75/95), its negative predictive values were 97.2% (106/109), 98.1% (106/108) and 85.2% (98/115), its diagnostic accuracy were 92.9% (195/210), 93.3% (196/210) and 82.4% (173/210), respectively. As the 24-hour proteinuria value≥ 300 mg was the golden standard, there were significant differences between the diagnostic method of the non-pregnant cut-off value of urinary mAlb, TRF and the golden standard ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the diagnostic method of the non-pregnant cut-off value of urinary α1-MG and the golden standard ( P>0.05). (2) Research on the ROC curve and the optimal cut-point value of urinary mAlb, TRF and α1-MG value: as the 24-hour proteinuria value≥ 300 mg as the criterion, the ROC curve of urinary mAlb, TRF and α1-MG were 0.992, 0.984 and 0.907, respectively. The optimal cut-point values of urinary mAlb, TRF and α1-MG were 86.5 mg/L (Youden index=0.927), 5.5 mg/L (Youden index=0.923), and 15.4 mg/L (Youden index=0.687). (3) The diagnostic study of the optimal cut-point value of urinary mAlb, TRF and α1-MG for the determination of 24-hour proteinuria value: according to the ROC results, when urinary mAlb was 86.5 mg/L, urinary TRF was 5.5 mg/L, and urinary α1-MG was 15.4 mg/L as the cut-off value, the positive predictive values of the corresponding 24-hour proteinuria value≥300 mg were 98.9% (86/87), 95.7% (88/92), 87.7% (71/81), and its negative predictive values were 95.1% (117/123), 96.6% (114/118), 83.7% (108/129), and its accuracy were 96.7% (203/210), 96.2% (202/210), 85.2% (179/210). As the 24-hour proteinuria value≥ 300 mg was the golden standard, there was no significant difference between the diagnostic method of the best cut-off values of urinary mAlb, TRF, α1-MG and the golden standard ( P>0.05). Conclusion:It is recommended to define the cut-off values of mAlb, TRF and α1-MG as 86.5 mg/L, 5.5 mg/L and 15.4 mg/L, respectively, during pregnancy.

Objective To verify the feasibility and safety of stomach tumor marker localization based on magnetic tracer technique in dogs.Methods Six male Beagle dogs were examined by gastroscopy.Then tracer magnets were sent to the "tumor" locations assumed in advance and fixed near the "tumors" by endoscopic soft tissue clamp.Laparoscopic gastric tumor localization was performed under general anesthesia 24 hours later.The tracer magnet was placed near the tumor on the surface of the stomach through the operating hole after the conventional establishment of laparoscope puncture parallel mirror to explore the tracer magnet.After the two magnets were attracted,the location of the tracer magnet seen under the laparoscope was the location of the gastric tumor,so as to complete the labeling and positioning of the lesion.Results All the 6 Beagle dogs were successfully implanted with tracer magnets under gastroscopy.Twenty-four hours after the gastroscopy,the pursuit magnet was successfully implanted during laparoscopic surgery.The two magnets automatically attracted each other and formed a sandwich structure of "tracer magnet-gastric wall-pursuit magnet ",which completed the location and identification of gastric tumor under the laparoscopy.Conclusion Gastroscopy combined with laparoscopy based on magnetic tracer technique is simple,accurate,safe and feasible.

Objective:To design magnets to locate colorectal neoplasms based on magnetic tracer technology, and to test its feasibility and safety by animal experiments.Methods:The magnets used for endoscopic localization of colorectal tumors consist of a tracer magnet and a pursuit magnet, both of which are ring-shaped Nd-Fe-B magnets. Eight healthy Beagle dogs were used as animal models. Tumor locations were assumed in the different parts of the colon and rectum under colonoscopy. The tracer magnet was sent to the hypothetical tumors by endoscopic soft tissue clamp and fixed near the tumors. After 24 hours, laparoscopic surgery was performed under general anesthesia. The pursuit magnet was inserted near the resected colon or rectum through the main operating hole. The tracer magnet was absorbed to the pursuit magnet to identify the location of tumors.Results:The tracer magnet and pursuit magnet were successfully designed and processed. The suction force between the tracer magnet and the pursuit magnet at zero distance was 16 N. All the 8 Beagle dogs successfully received indwelling of magnets under colonoscopy, and no magnets fell off after 24 hours. After the placement of pursuit magnet under laparoscopy, the two magnets attracted each other rapidly and accurately, and successfully completed localization of tumor site without any damage during the operation.Conclusion:Colonoscopy combined with laparoscopy for colorectal neoplasms localization based on magnetic tracer technique is simple, accurate, safe and feasible.

Objective:To study the feasibility of establishing gastrointestinal anastomosis by magnetic compression technique in rabbits.Methods:Ten healthy New Zealand rabbits were selected as models for gastrointestinal anastomosis by magnetic compression technique. Daughter and parent magnets suitable for gastrointestinal anastomosis in rabbits were designed and manufactured. A daughter magnet was inserted into the stomach through the purse fistula in the lack of blood vessel area of gastric body, and was pushed into the duodenum along the intestinal tract. And then a parent magnet was inserted through the stomach fistula. The daughter and parent magnets were automatically attracted and pressed the gastric and intestinal walls after they were adjusted in the proper position. The stomach fistula was closed with purse string suture. After ischemia, necrosis, detachment of the tissues between magnets, gastrointestinal anastomosis was established, and the magnets and necrotic tissues were expelled together from the body through the digestive tract. Survival of experimental animals was observed. Anastomotic specimens were obtained one month after operation. The blasting pressure of anastomotic stoma was measured, and the healing of anastomotic stoma was observed with naked eyes.Results:According to the pre-designed operative route, 10 New Zealand rabbits all successfully completed the operation and survived one month after surgery. No complications occurred during perioperative period. The operation time was 35.80±4.71 min (range 28.00-43.00 min), and the magnet discharge time was 11.40±1.56 days (range 9.00-14.00 days). Anastomotic specimens were obtained one month after the operation. Gross observation showed that the anastomotic stoma of gastrointestinal bypass anastomosis healed well, and the surrounding tissues adhered slightly. The anastomotic bursting pressure was 103.00±7.95 mmHg (range 94.00-113.00 mmHg) (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa).Conclusion:The establishment of gastrointestinal anastomosis by magnetic compression technique in rabbits is simple and effective.

Objective:To investigate the pathological characteristics and the clinical significance of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)-infected pneumonia (termed by WHO as coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19).Methods:Minimally invasive autopsies from lung, heart, kidney, spleen, bone marrow, liver, pancreas, stomach, intestine, thyroid and skin were performed on three patients died of novel coronavirus pneumonia in Chongqing, China. Hematoxylin and eosin staining (HE), transmission electron microcopy, and histochemical staining were performed to investigate the pathological changes of indicated organs or tissues. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted to evaluate the infiltration of immune cells as well as the expression of 2019-nCoV proteins. Real time PCR was carried out to detect the RNA of 2019-nCoV.Results:Various damages were observed in the alveolar structure, with minor serous exudation and fibrin exudation. Hyaline membrane formation was observed in some alveoli. The infiltrated immune cells in alveoli were majorly macrophages and monocytes. Moderate multinucleated giant cells, minimal lymphocytes, eosinophils and neutrophils were also observed. Most of infiltrated lymphocytes were CD4-positive T cells. Significant proliferation of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelia and focal desquamation of alveolar epithelia were also indicated. The blood vessels of alveolar septum were congested, edematous and widened, with modest infiltration of monocytes and lymphocytes. Hyaline thrombi were found in a minority of microvessels. Focal hemorrhage in lung tissue, organization of exudates in some alveolar cavities, and pulmonary interstitial fibrosis were observed. Part of the bronchial epithelia were exfoliated. Coronavirus particles in bronchial mucosal epithelia and type Ⅱ alveolar epithelia were observed under electron microscope. Immunohistochemical staining showed that part of the alveolar epithelia and macrophages were positive for 2019-nCoV antigen. Real time PCR analyses identified positive signals for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. Decreased numbers of lymphocyte, cell degeneration and necrosis were observed in spleen. Furthermore, degeneration and necrosis of parenchymal cells, formation of hyaline thrombus in small vessels, and pathological changes of chronic diseases were observed in other organs and tissues, while no evidence of coronavirus infection was observed in these organs.Conclusions:The lungs from novel coronavirus pneumonia patients manifest significant pathological lesions, including the alveolar exudative inflammation and interstitial inflammation, alveolar epithelium proliferation and hyaline membrane formation. While the 2019-nCoV is mainly distributed in lung, the infection also involves in the damages of heart, vessels, liver, kidney and other organs. Further studies are warranted to investigate the mechanism underlying pathological changes of this disease.
