Objective To observe area of coagulation necrosis after microwave ablation(MWA)of rabbit liver showed on contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)in comparison with pathological findings.Methods Twenty-five healthy male experimental rabbits were equally randomly divided into L0,M0,H0,M7 and M14 groups.MWA was achieved with different power and time,and then CEUS and pathological examinations were performed,respectively.Four target areas of rabbit liver were ablated under 20 W for 1 min in L0 group,under 30 W for 1 min in M0 group and under 30 W for 3 min in H0 group,and the ablated areas were observed on the same day after MWA,while 2 target areas of rabbit liver were ablated under 30 W for 1 min in M7 and M14 groups,and the ablated areas were observed 7 days and 14 days after MWA,respectively.The ablated foci and ablated foci+edema band(inflammatory reaction band,IRB)showed on CEUS and pathology were compared,and their differences and changes with time going were analyzed.Results On the day of ablation,the extent of ablation foci,ablation foci+IRB as well as IRB in L0,M0 and H0 groups showed on CEUS were all larger than pathological findings under light microscopy(all P＜0.05),and the difference value of the length of the ablation foci between 2 methods increased sequentially among group L0,M0 and H0(all adjusted P＜0.05).Seven days after ablation,the area of ablation foci measured with CEUS in M 7 group was slightly larger than that measured with pathology(adjusted P=0.045),but no significant difference of the length nor the short diameter was found(both adjusted P＞0.05).Fourteen days after ablation,no significant difference of the length,the short diameter nor the area of ablation foci was detected between 2 methods in M14 group(all adjusted P＞0.05).The length,short diameter and area of ablation foci in M0 group measured with CEUS or pathology were all smaller than those in M 7 and M14 groups(all adjusted P＜0.05),while no significant difference was found between the latter 2 groups(all adjusted P＞0.05).Conclusion On the day of MWA of rabbit liver with different power and time settings,the areas of ablation foci,ablation foci+IRB and IRB showed on CEUS were larger than pathological findings.The range of ablation foci showed on CEUS 7 days after ablation was basically in line with pathology,indicating that CUES should be reexamined 7 days after ablation to evaluate the actual extent of coagulation and necrosis of ablation foci.

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 evaluate the potential causal relationship between inflammatory factors and PCa using the two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)method.Methods:We selected summary statistics of genome-wide association studies(GWAS)(n=14 824)on 91 inflammatory factors,with PCa as the outcome in the latest 9th edition of FinnGen database for MR analysis.We evaluated the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and PCa using the odds ratio(OR)and 95%confidence interval(CI)of such regression models as inverse variance weighting(IVW),MR-Egger regression,simple mode(SM),weighted mode(WM)and weighted median estimator(WME),with IVW as the main statistical method for this study.We further verified the results of MR by Bayesian analysis,and evaluated the heterogeneity of genetic instrumental variables,pleiotropic effects and sensitivity of single nu-cleotide polymorphisms(SNP)as instrumental variables to the exposure-outcome relationship by Cochran's Q test,MR-Egger intercept test and leave-one-out cross validation.Results:IVW showed that among the 91 inflammatory factors,interleukin-22 receptor A1(IL-22RA1)and sulfotransferase 1A1(ST1A1)were correlated positively with the risk of PCa;IL-22RA1:IVW(OR[95%CI]:1.12[1.00-1.25],P=0.04);ST1A1:IVW(OR[95%CI]:1.08(1.00-1.16),P=0.03),while Chemokine ligand 11(CXCL11)and interleukin 17 A(IL-17 A)negatively with the risk of PCa;CXCL11:IVW(OR[95%CI]:0.88[0.81-0.95],P=0.00);IL-17A:IVW(OR[95%CI]:0.91[0.84-0.98],P=0.02).No potential horizontal pleiotropy was detected by MR-Egger intercept analysis(P>0.05,IL-22RA1=0.885,ST1A1=0.949,CXCL11=0.391,IL-17A=0.884),nor biased SNPs in the MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier(MR-PRESSO)test(P>0.05,IL-22RA1=0.479,ST1A1=0.629,CXCL11=0.326,IL-17A=0.444),or heterogeneity P>0.05,IL-22RA1=0.543,ST1A1=0.677,CXCL11=0.336,IL-17A=0.494).Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis indicated no significant impact of individual SNP sites on the overall causal rela-tionship prediction,suggesting the reliable results of analysis.Conclusion:Among the 91 inflammatory factors,IL-22RA1 and ST1A1 have a positive causal relationship,while CXCL11 and IL-17A have a negative causal relationship with PCa.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Hip fractures are among the most common fractures in the elderly, presenting to be a leading cause of disability and mortality. Surgical treatment is currently the main treatment method for hip fractures. The incidence of perioperative malnutrition is increased after hip fractures in the elderly due to the comorbidities, decreased basal metabolic rate, accelerated protein breakdown, weakened anabolism and surgical stress. However, malnutrition not only increases the incidence of postoperative complications, but also leads to increased mortality, indicating an important role of perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. At present, there still lacks scientific guidance and application standards on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. Therefore, the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Expert consensus on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for elderly patients with hip fractures ( version 2023) according to evidence-based medical evidences and their clinical experiences. Fourteen recommendations were made from aspects of nutrition screening, nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention and nutrition monitoring to provide guidance for perioperative nursing management of nutrition in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Objective: To investigate the effects of retinoid-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) gene on proliferation and metastasis of human colon cancer cells． Methods: RORγ knockdown cell lines were constructed and the knockdown efficiency was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot assays ; MTT，colony formation，Transwell and wound healing assays were used to detect cell proliferation and metastasis ; the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins was detected by Western blot．The relationship between RORγ gene expression and immune cell infiltration in tumor microenvironment was analyzed using TIMER 2. 0 database. Results : The knockdown of RORγ enhanced the viability (F = 157. 40，P＜0. 01) ，clonogenesis (F = 61. 35，P＜0. 01) ，migration (F = 13. 00，P＜0. 01) ，invasion (F = 21. 26，P＜0. 01) and wound healing ability (F = 877. 2，P＜0. 01) of colon cancer cells，inhibited the expression of E-Cadherin，and promoted the expression of vimentin and N-Cadherin．TIMER 2. 0 database analysis showed that RORγ expression in colon adenocarcinoma ( COAD) tissues was associated with multiple immune cell infiltrates． Conclusion Downregulation of RORγ expression promoted the proliferation and metastasis of colon cancer cells.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of elderly patients with commu-nity-acquired bloodstream infection(CA-BSI),and provide basis for clinical treatment and prevention.Methods Medical records of elderly patients diagnosed with CA-BSI in a tertiary first-class hospital of Changsha from 2017 to 2021 were collected.Patients were divided into a survival group and a death group according to the prognosis after 30 days hospitalization.The differences in clinical data between two groups of patients were compared,and influen-cing factors for the prognosis in CA-BSI patients were analyzed.Results A total of 575 elderly CA-BSI patients were included in the analysis,with 535 cases in the survival group and 40 cases in the death group.Univariate ana-lysis results suggested that death of elderly CA-BSI patients was related to gender,age,history of hemodialysis,glucocorticoid usage,indwelling catheter,concomitant heart disease,albumin,creatinine,and sequential organ fai-lure assessment(SOFA)score(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis results suggested that old age(OR=1.062,95％CI:1.016-1.109),high SOFA score(OR=1.161,95％CI:1.067-1.262),glucocorti-coid usage(OR=6.006,95％CI:2.441-14.774)were independent risk factors for the death of elderly CA-BSI patients,while normal albumin(OR=0.942,95％CI:0.891-0.995)was a protective factor.Conclusion Elderly CA-BSI patients have high risks of death.It is necessary to improve the immunity of patients as well as use antimi-crobial agents and glucocorticoids rationally,so as to reduce the risk of death in patients.

Unlike healthy, non-transformed cells, the proteostasis network of cancer cells is taxed to produce proteins involved in tumor development. Cancer cells have a higher dependency on molecular chaperones to maintain proteostasis. The chaperonin T-complex protein ring complex (TRiC) contains eight paralogous subunits (CCT1-8), and assists the folding of as many as 10% of cytosolic proteome. TRiC is essential for the progression of some cancers, but the roles of TRiC subunits in osteosarcoma remain to be explored. Here, we show that CCT4/TRiC is significantly correlated in human osteosarcoma, and plays a critical role in osteosarcoma cell survival. We identify a compound anticarin-β that can specifically bind to and inhibit CCT4. Anticarin-β shows higher selectivity in cancer cells than in normal cells. Mechanistically, anticarin-β potently impedes CCT4-mediated STAT3 maturation. Anticarin-β displays remarkable antitumor efficacy in orthotopic and patient-derived xenograft models of osteosarcoma. Collectively, our data uncover a key role of CCT4 in osteosarcoma, and propose a promising treatment strategy for osteosarcoma by disrupting CCT4 and proteostasis.

Objective: To explore the mechanism of herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion in Crohn disease (CD) treatment by observing the effect of herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion on protein expressions of colonic M2 macrophage marker CD206, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) 2. Methods: Twenty-six specific pathogen free male rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group and a herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group. The CD model was prepared by enema with the mixture of 5％ (W/V) 2,4,6- trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) and 50％ ethanol at 2:1 (volume ratio). After the model was successfully prepared, rats in the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group received herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion at Qihai (CV 6) and bilateral Tianshu (ST 25). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of rat colon; immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression of colonic CD206 protein; Western blot, immunofluorescence, and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) technologies were used to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of colonic AMPK and TSC2. Results: Compared with the normal group, rats in the model group showed damaged colonic mucosa, missing of the epithelial layer, thickened submucosa, vascular proliferation, massive infiltration of monocytes and lymphocytes, and cracked ulcers that reached the muscle layer. Rats in the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group showed reduced intestinal inflammation and healing intestinal epithelium ulcers. Compared with the normal group, rat colonic CD206 protein expression, and the protein and mRNA expressions of colonic AMPK and TSC2 were decreased in the model group (all P<0.01); compared with the model group, rat colonic CD206 protein expression was increased (P<0.01), as well as the protein and mRNA expressions of AMPK and TSC2 in the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion can reduce intestinal inflammation in CD rats, increase colonic CD206 protein expression, and up-regulate the protein and mRNA expressions of colonic AMPK and TSC2.

Objective To investigate the relation between TMB and the efficiency of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods Studies were searched from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and Wanfang Database up to March 25, 2020. RevMan 5.3 software and STATA15.0 were used for analysis. Results Twelve literatures were involved, including 1209 patients. TMB significantly improved PFS (HR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.42-0.70, P < 0.001) but reduced the ORR (OR=4.41, 95%CI: 2.54-7.63, P < 0.001) of NSCLC patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. The subgroup analyses showed that the predictive value of TMB was significant in non-small cell lung cancer treated by PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with anti-CTLA-4 therapy or chemotherapy. No significant publication bias was observed by the Begg's test and Egger's test. Conclusion High tumor mutation burden may predict the improved PFS of non-small cell lung cancer by PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors treatment, but its predictive value for OS, ORR and long-term survival need more exploration.
