To investigate the role of chamagogic polysaccharides (polysaccharides of Brassica rapa L., BRPs) against doxorubicin (DOX) cardiotoxicity and related mechanisms, H9c2 cells were selected for the study, and the effects of BRPs on DOX induced damage in H9c2 cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8); H9c2 cells were divided into the control group, the model group, and the drug group (0.5-3 mg·mL^-1); the control group was cultured under normal conditions, and the remaining groups were induced for 24 h by 1 μmol·L^-1 DOX after treatment. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry; the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured in each group; intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were detected. Western blot was used to detect the expression of proteins related to the apoptosis and transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway. Compared with the control group, DOX-induced H9c2 cell injury was characterized by decreased cell viability, increased apoptosis, elevated LDH and MDA levels, decreased SOD activity, significantly increased ROS levels, and significantly decreased MMP; the level of B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein decreased, and the level of Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) increased significantly; In the model group, the expression levels of Nrf-2, HO-1, quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) were reduced, and the expression levels of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase were significantly increased, Moreover, BRPs (0.5-3 mg·mL^-1) increased the protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1, and decreased the levels of Keap1 and phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. In summary, the ability of BRPs to protect H9c2 cells and inhibit apoptosis may be related to their regulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway to antagonize oxidative stress.

In this study,nine hybridoma cells secreting monoclonal antibodies against deltamethrin were prepared,and the monoclonal antibody 4D4E11 with best sensitivity was selected to develop indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) and gold nanoparticle-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for detection of deltamethrin. The optimal working buffer for ic-ELISA was 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.2 mol/L NaCl and 20％ methanol,while 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 1 mol/L NaCl,5‰Tween-20 and 10％methanol for LFIA. Under the optimal conditions,the half inhibition concentration (IC50) and limit of detection (IC10) of ic-ELISA were 10.60 ng/mL and 1.43 ng/mL respectively,and the limit of detection of the developed LFIA was 0.5μg/mL. The developed ic-ELISA and LFIA showed no cross-reactivities (CRs) with eight kinds of analogues of deltamethrin,which indicated the excellent specificity of proposed immunoassays. The average recoveries of the ic-ELISA in spiked tomato,cabbage and lettuce samples were 79.8％-92.6％with relative standard deviations of 0.8％-5.5％. The detection results of LFIA were consistent with the spiked concentrations in the range of 1-5 mg/kg. Meanwhile,the results of ic-ELISA and LFIA showed close correlation with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in the test of blind lettuce samples. The experimental results demonstrated that the two immunoassays proposed here were suitable for rapid detection of deltamethrin with high sensitivity and high accuracy.

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 compare the recanalization rate of 2-suture longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy(LIVE)with that of4-suture end-to-side vasoepididymostomy(ESVE).Methods:This retrospective case-control study included 127 cases of obstructive azoospermia(OA)treated by LIVE(n=87)or ESVE(n=40)in our Center of Reproductive Medicine from October 2013 to July 2024.We analyzed the clinical data and compared the age,testis volume,level of serum follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),operation time and postoperative recanalization rate between the two groups.Results:Spermatozoa were observed in 90(70.9％)of the 127 cases after surgery.There were no statistical differences in age,testis volume and FSH between the two groups of patients(all P＞0.05),and nor were there any serious surgical complications.The operation time was significantly longer in the ESVE than in the LIVE group(22.0[20.0-25.8]vs 17.0[15.0-23.0]min,P＜0.05),while the postoperative recanalization rate remarkably higher in the former than in the latter group(85.0％vs 64.4％,P＜0.05).Vasoepididymostomy was performed at the caput epididymis in 11 cases,with a higher recanalization rate in the ESVE than in the LIVE group(50.0％[1/2]vs 33.3％[3/9]).Conclusion:ESVE achieved a higher postoperative recanalization rate than LIVE in the treatment of OA,but its advanta-ges need further investigation.

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of liquiritigenin （LG） on intestinal flora in menopausal APP/PS1 mice. MethodsA total of forty 3-month-old female APP/PS1 mice were randomly divided into sham surgery group （n=20） and ovariectomy group （n=20）. Seven days after surgery， the ovariectomy group was randomly divided into ovariectomy control group （OVX， n=10）， ovariectomy + liquiritigenin treatment group （OVX + LG， n=10）， and the sham surgery group was randomly divided into liquiritigenin treatment group （LG， n=10） and reagent control group （Sham， n=10）， and ten C57BL/6J mice were taken as WT group. The dose of LG group and OVX + LG group was 30 mg•kg^-1•d^-1. After 90 days of drug treatment， fecal samples were gathered， genomes were extracted， and intestinal flora were analyzed by 16S rDNA Amplicon Sequencing. Morris water maze was performed to evaluate learning and memory abilities of mice. Immunofluorescence was used to observe the deposition of senile plaques （SP） in the brain of mice. ResultsThe results of water maze showed that LG significantly improved the learning memory ability of APP/PS1 mice with/without OVX （P<0.05）， and reduced the number of SPs in the brain of APP/PS1 mice with/without OVX， and the differences were statistically significant （P<0.000 1）. 16s rDNA sequencing analysis of the relative abundance of gut microbiota proved that LG treatment significantly increased the relative abundance of Firmicutes and Lactobacillus （P<0.05） and reduced the relative abundance of harmful bacteria belong to Bacteroidetes （P<0.05） in APP/PS1 mice intestines with/without menopause. After LG treatment， the relative abundance of Allobaculun elevated in the intestines of APP/PS1 mice， while declined in the intestines of menopausal APP/PS1 mice， but the difference was not statistically significant. LEfSe analysis revealed the bacteria with the most differential abundance of the gut microbiota of WT mice were Firmicutes， Bacillus， and Lactobacillales （P<0.05）； Lactobacillus reuteri had a greater influence on the LG group （P<0.05）； Bacteroidia， Bacteroidales and Bacteroides gathered in the intestines of mice in the Sham group （P<0.05）. Firmicutes and Allobaculum were the dominant in the WT group （P<0.05）； Bacteroides， Bacteroidia and Bacteroidales were more abundant in the Sham group（P<0.05）； Bacterroidaceae and Bacteroides had the most differential abundances in the OVX group （P<0.05）； Lactobacillaceae and Lactobacillus were more abundant in the intestines in the OVX + LG group （P<0.05）. ConclusionLG could improve the ratio of beneficial and harmful bacteria in the intestines of APP/PS1 mice before and after menopause. Liquiritigenin treatment showed consistent variations in intestinal flora in APP/PS1 mice with or without ovariectomy. It is presumed that menopausal APP/PS1 mice have lipid metabolism disorders which requires further study.
