The incidence and mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in China are among the highest in the world, imposing a heavy social burden. Liver resection and liver transplantation are the primary radical treatments for HCC, although most patients are no longer able to meet the surgical requirements at initial diagnosis. Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (⁹⁰Y-SIRT) has the advantages of shrinking tumors, enlarging residual liver, regressing portal vein tumor thrombus and improving the quality of life, which can be used for conversion, downstaging and bridging therapy for HCC before surgical treatment, enabling patients regain the chance of radical treatment and reducing the postoperative recurrence rate. This review focuses on the clinical application and progress of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT in this field.

Objective To construct a key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury, and provide a basis for the implementation of such treatment and nursing. Methods The draft of the key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury was determined by literature review, case study, and field investigation. The indicators of the system were determined through two rounds of Delphi consultation and using the precedence chart method. According to the criteria of indicator evaluation, the reliability of expert opinions, and the opinions of the research group, the indicators were refined and evaluated. Results Twenty experts were included for two rounds of consultation via mailed inquiries, with a 100% effective response rate in both rounds. The expert authority coefficients were both 0.945, and the Kendall’s W values were 0.347 and 0.448, respectively (P < 0.05). Following the expert consultations, 1 indicator was deleted, 12 indicators were added, and 6 indicators were modified. The key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury established in this study included 4 first-level indicators, 17 second-level indicators, and 73 third-level indicators. The means of importance assignment for all indicators were > 4.00, and the coefficients of variation were < 0.25. Conclusion The key technical indicator system for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury established in this study is scientifically rigorous and practically grounded. The indicators demonstrate strong professional relevance and provide important guidance for in-hospital treatment and nursing of patients with nuclear radiation injury.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and outcomes of type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and compare with type 1 AIP.Methods:Clinical data of the patients diagnosed with type 2 AIP by the International Consensus on diagnostic criteria of AIP at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2001 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and type 1 AIP patients diagnosed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1985 to December 2016 were collected as controls. The clinical symptoms, treatments and follow-ups were analyzed.Results:A total of 25 patients with type 2 AIP were included, of which 16 cases (64.0%) were pathologically confirmed cases (13 cases by endoscopic ultrasound puncture, 2 cases by surgery, and 1 case by interventional puncture), and 9 cases (36.0%) were suspected. The average age of onset was 40 years old. Most patients ( n=23, 92.0%) had abdominal pain along with emaciation to a various degree. Among them, 3 cases primarily presented as acute pancreatitis. Two cases were diagnosed after surgery for pancreatic masses. Eighteen cases were complicated with inflammatory bowel disease, including 16 cases with ulcerative colitis, one case with Crohn's disease, and one case with indeterminate colitis. All patients had typical imaging manifestations, including 13 cases (52.0%) with diffuse pancreatic enlargement, 12 cases (48.0%) with focal or multifocal pancreatic lesions, and 5 cases (20.0%) with simultaneous focal pancreatic masses and diffuse enlargement. All patients had normal serum IgG4 levels, anti-neutropil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) positivity rate was 35.3% (6/17), and anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) positivity rate was 29.2% (7/24). Two surgical patients recovered well after surgery, and the other patients all achieved clinical and imaging relief after hormone therapy, and no recurrence was seen during follow-up. Compared with type 1 AIP, type 2 AIP had younger onset age, main manifestation as abdominal pain without jaundice, rare involvement with extra-pancreatic organs, the lesions mainly located in the intestine and normal IgG4 level with statistically significant differences. The recurrence rate of type 2 AIP was lower than that of type 1 AIP (0 vs 16%). Conclusions:Type 2 AIP has different clinical characteristics from type 1 AIP. Due to the lack of specific serum markers, the diagnosis is more difficult. It responds well to glucocorticoids and has a low recurrence rate.

Objective The aim is to utilize CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to construct Dmd gene mutant mice with a point mutation in exon 23 of the Dmd gene. Subsequently, the phenotypic changes of the mice in muscles and immune systems are analyzed and verified, providing an evaluation model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other related diseases.MethodsBased on the sequence characteristics of exon 23 of the Dmd gene, small guide RNA (sgRNA) was designed and synthesized. Cas9 mRNA, sgRNA fragments, and oligo donor DNA were microinjected into fertilized eggs of C57BL/6J mice. After transferring the fertilized eggs to surrogate mice, F0 generation mice were born. After mating with F0 generation mice, offspring mice were obtained, and Dmd gene positive mutant (Dmd^Mu/+) mice were obtained after genotype identification. Male hemizygous Dmd^Mu/+(Dmd^Mu/Y) mice were selected for phenotype validation. The body weight of live 3- and 9-month-old mice were recorded. Muscle tension was evaluated through the grid test. Hearts and semitendinosus muscles were collected, and the histopathological changes were observed using HE staining. Further, the expression of Dmd protein in muscle tissue of 9-month-old mice was analyzed by Western blotting.An acute inflammation model was established in Dmd^Mu/Y mice using lipopolysaccharide induction. Peripheral blood from the submandibular vein was collected, and the changes in the proportion of neutrophils and monocytes were detected by flow cytometry.Results The results of genome sequencing and Western blotting confirmed the successful construction of Dmd gene point mutant mice (Dmd^Mu/+ mice). Dmd protein expression was not detected in skeletal muscle and myocardium of Dmd^Mu/+ mice, and it was significantly reduced compared to wild-type C57BL/6J mice (P<0.05). Compared with wild-type mice of the same background, Dmd^Mu/Y mice at 3 and 9 months of age showed significant weight loss (P<0.01) and decreased muscle tension (P<0.05). 9-month-old Dmd^Mu/Y mice exhibited significant pathological changes in skeletal muscle and myocardium, including widening of intermuscular space. Under normal condition, compared with wild-type mice, the proportion of neutrophils and monocytes in the peripheral blood of 3-month-old Dmd^Mu/Y mice was significantly lower than that of wild-type mice (P<0.01). After lipopolysaccharide stimulation, the proportion of neutrophils in peripheral blood of 3-month-old Dmd^Mu/Y mice remained significantly lower compared to that of wild-type mice (P<0.01). The proportion of neutrophils in peripheral blood of 9-month-old Dmd^Mu/Y mice significantly decreased after lipopolysaccharide induction (P<0.01), with a trend of change observed in monocytes between groups.Conclusion The successful construction of the Dmd gene mutant mouse model has confirmed the vital function of Dmd gene in maintaining normal muscle tissue morphology and muscle tone. It preliminarily indicated that Dmd gene deletion could significantly reduce the proportion of neutrophils in peripheral blood, offering a new perspective for the study of immune system alterations in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients.

[Objective] To predict potential target genes for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) with stigmasterol and construct a relevant prognostic model, in order to reveal its antiglioma mechanism and the role of these target genes in the prognosis of GBM patients. [Methods] Differential expression genes in GBM and stigmasterol target genes were obtained via online databases. Venn diagram was used to select potential target genes for stigmasterol treatment of GBM, and enrichment analysis was performed using R language. Univariate COX regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis were made to select stigmasterol target genes related to the prognosis of GBM patients and construct a relevant prognostic model. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting analyses were used to detect the effect of stigmasterol on the expressions of related target genes. [Results] In this study, a total of 31 potential target genes for the treatment of GBM with stigmasterol were identified. Enrichment analysis showed that these target genes were associated with the activation of the G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathway and the regulation of lipid metabolism. Regression analysis identified two stigmasterol target genes, namely, fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) and alpha 1B adrenergic receptor (ADRA1B), which are associated with the prognosis of GBM. A prognostic model constructed based on these two genes could accurately predict the prognosis of GBM patients. Finally, stigmasterol inhibited the expressions of these two genes in GBM cells (FABP5: t=9.909, P=0.001; ADRA1B: t=3.319, P=0.029). [Conclusion] Stigmasterol’s anti-tumor effect may be linked to its regulation of GPCR signaling pathways and lipid metabolism. By inhibiting the expressions of FABP5 and ADRA1B, stigmasterol could potentially enhance the prognosis for GBM patients. Additionally, a prognostic model based on the expression levels of FABP5 and ADRA1B can be valuable for predicting patient outcomes and monitoring therapeutic efficacy in GBM.

IDD models were established in all groups except for the sham surgery group. After successful modeling, the sham surgery group and IDD group were given physiological saline by gavage, while the kidney tonifying and blood activating formula group was given 1.5 g/ml of kidney tonifying and blood activating formula by gavage for 3 consecutive weeks. QRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of circ0036763 and miR-583 in the nucleus pulposus cells of mice in each group, MTT was used to detect cell proliferation, and Western blot was used to detect the expression of PCNA, collagen Ⅰ, and collagen Ⅱ proteins.Results:The expression level of circ_0036763 in IDD nucleus pulposus cells decreased, while the expression level of miR-583 increased (all P<0.05); Overexpression of circ_0036763 can promote proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis of nucleus pulposus cells (all P<0.05); Circ_0036763 targets miR-583 and upregulates miR-583 reversible overexpression. Circ_0036763 enhances the proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis ability of IDD nucleus pulposus cells. Compared with the sham surgery group, the IDD group showed an increase in collagen Ⅰ protein expression and miR-583 expression levels (all P<0.05), while the cell A value, PCNA and collagen Ⅱ protein expression, and circ_0036763 expression levels decreased (all P<0.05); Compared with the IDD group, the Kidney Tonifying and Blood Activating Formula group showed a decrease in collagen Ⅰ protein expression and miR-583 expression levels (all P<0.05), while the cell A value, PCNA and collagen Ⅱ protein expression, and circ_0036763 expression levels increased (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The kidney tonifying and blood activating formula (Bushen Huoxue) may induce proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis of nucleus pulposus cells by regulating the circ_0036763/miR-583 axis.

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 identify the factors associated with frailty in lung transplant patients by a meta-analysis.Methods Computerized search was performed for studies on the influencing factors of frailty in lung transplant patients in the CNKI,WanFangData,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Elsevier ScienceDirect and CINAHL databases.The search was conducted from the time of database construction to November 2023.Literature screening,quality assessment,and data extraction were performed independently by 2 investigators,and Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software.Results 10 cohort studies,including 1 999 patients,were finally included,and 13 influencing factors were extracted,including advanced age(OR=1.05),female(OR=2.50),BMI(OR=0.38),diagnosis of primary pulmonary disease(OR=2.90),6MWD(OR=0.34),and lung allocation score(OR=0.69),FVC(OR=0.60),pre-transplant frailty(OR=0.81),hypoproteinemia(OR=4.12),hemoglobin(OR=0.50),anemia(OR=4.37),length of ICU stay(OR=1.24),and total length of stay(OR=1.05).Short Physical Performance Battery is an assessment tool for frailty in lung transplant patients,with an incidence of frailty in 24％before transplantation and 50％in post-transplantation.Fried Frailty Phenotype is an assessment tool for frailty in lung transplant patients,with a pre-transplant frailty incidence of 30％.Conclusion There are many factors involved in the incidence of frailty in lung transplant patients,and nursing staff should dynamically evaluate the frailty of lung transplant patients,and give individualized and precise interventions in combination with a multidisciplinary model to improve or delay the progression of frailty.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remote interventions with digital health technologies in lung transplant patients.Methods Databases,including CKNI,Wangfang,VIP,CMB,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Scopus and BMJ Best Practice were searched from their inception to July 2023.There were 2 researchers who independently screened and extracted the literature,and then evaluated quality of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.Results 10 studies with 1 262 patients were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with conventional intervention,remote intervention based on digital health technology could improve self-monitoring compliance of lung transplant patients[0R=0.64,95％CI(0.46,0.88),P=0.006],improve quality of life including mental health status[OR=3.08,95％CI(0.41,5.74),P=0.020]and physical health status[OR=3.81,95％CI(1.19,6.43),P=0.004].In terms of the intervention forms,the application-based remote intervention had better self-monitoring compliance,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.007).However,in terms of the comparison of readmission rate[OR=1.73,95％CI(0.98,3.04),P=0.060],anxiety[OR=-0.12,95％CI(-1.36,1.11),P=0.850],and depression[OR=0.62,95％CI(-0.80,2.03),P=0.390],the effect of intervention was unclear.Conclusion Remote intervention based on digital health technology can improve self-monitoring compliance and quality of life in lung transplant patients;applications are the optimal form of intervention.Limited by the quality and quantity of included studies and the heterogeneity of study results,more high-quality studies are needed to further verify the effects of digital health technology on readmission rates,anxiety and depression of lung transplant patients.
