Objective To explore the dynamic changes and mechanisms of neurological and cognitive functions in mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Totally 60 12⁃month⁃old Balb/ c mice were divided into control group (10 in group) and TBI group (50 in group). TBT model mice were divided into 5 subgroups according to the time of model construction, including model 1 day, model 1 day, model 3 day, model 7 day, model 14 days and model 28 days group with 10 in each group. At the 29th day of the experiment, neurological scores and step down tests were carried out. After the test, the mice were sacrificed for brains which were detected by immunohistochemistry staining, inflammatory cytokine tests and Western blotting. Results Compared with the control group, the neurological scores of mice in TBI group increased, and then decreased after the 7th day when the scores reached the peak. However, the latency of step down errors was lower than control group, and the number of step down errors was higher than control group which had no changes. Compared with the control group, the expression of lonized calcium⁃binding adapter molecule 1(IBA1), chemokine C⁃X3⁃C⁃motif ligand1 (CX3CL1), C⁃X3⁃C chemokine receptor 1(CX3CR1), NOD⁃like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), and phosphorylation nuclear factor(p⁃NF)⁃κB in TBI group increased and reached to the peak at the 7th day, and then started to decrease. At the same time, the levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin⁃6(IL⁃6) and tumor necrosis factor⁃α(TNF⁃α) first increased to the peak, and then began to decrease. However, compared with the control group, the expression of amyloid β(Aβ) protein and p⁃Tau protein in the model group continued to increase at all time. Conclusion The TBI model caused continuous activation of microglia along with inflammatory response, which first increased and then decreased, resultsing in neurological scores changes. In addition, the inflammatory response may act as a promoter of Aβ protein deposition and Tau protein phosphorylation, leading to cognitive impairment in mice.

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.

Epigenomic imbalance drives abnormal transcriptional processes,promoting the onset and progression of cancer.Although defective gene regulation generally affects carcinogenesis and tumor suppression networks,tumor immunogenicity and immune cells involved in antitumor responses may also be affected by epigenomic changes,which may have significant implications for the development and application of epigenetic therapy,cancer immunotherapy,and their combinations.Herein,we focus on the impact of epigenetic regulation on tumor immune cell function and the role of key abnormal epigenetic processes,DNA methylation,histone post-translational modification,and chromatin structure in tumor immunogenicity,and introduce these epigenetic research methods.We emphasize the value of small-molecule inhibitors of epigenetic modulators in enhancing antitumor immune responses and discuss the challenges of developing treatment plans that combine epigenetic therapy and immuno-therapy through the complex interaction between cancer epigenetics and cancer immunology.

The toxic pathogen theory, an important part of the theories of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), began in the Qin and Han dynasties, formed in the Jin, Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties, developed rapidly in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and conti-nued to develop in contemporary times based on the achievements of its predecessors. The continuous exploration, practice, and inheri-tance of many medical practitioners over the generations have facilitated the enrichment of its connotation. The toxic pathogen is violent, fierce, dangerous, prolonged, rapid in transmission, easy to hurt the internal organs, hidden, and latent, with many changes, and it is closely related to the development of tumor diseases. TCM has a history of thousands of years in the prevention and treatment of tumor diseases. It is gradually realized that the etiology of tumor is mainly attributed to the deficiency of healthy Qi and excess of to-xic pathogen, and the struggle between healthy Qi and toxic pathogen runs through the whole course of tumor, with the deficiency of healthy Qi as the prerequisite and the invasion of toxic pathogen as the root of the occurrence. The toxic pathogen has a strong carcinogenic effect and is involved in the whole process of tumor development, which is closely related to the malignant behaviors of tumors, including proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. This study discussed the historical origin and modern interpretation of the toxic pathogen theory in the prevention and treatment of tumors, with aims of sorting out the theoretical system based on the toxic pathogen theory in the treatment of tumor diseases, and illustrating the importance of the toxic pathogen theory in the treatment of tumors in the context of modern research on pharmacological mechanisms and the development and marketing of relevant anti-tumor Chinese medicinal preparations.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) DHRS4-AS1 and disease-free survival in osteosarcoma patients and the mechanisms of its effect on proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma cells in vitro.Methods:The data of DHRS4-AS1 transcriptome levels and survival status of osteosarcoma patients in GEPIA database were collected since the database was established, and the patients were divided into high DHRS4-AS1 expression group and low DHRS4-AS1 expression group based on the median DHRS4-AS1 transcriptome level, with 59 cases in each group, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the disease-free survival of the two groups. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of DHRS4-AS1 in osteosarcoma cell lines MG-63, HOS, 143B, U-2OS, Saos2 and normal osteoblast cell line hFOB1.19, and the osteosarcoma cell line with the lowest DHRS4-AS1 expression level was selected for subsequent experiments. The plasmid carrying DHRS4-AS1 sequence and the plasmid carrying negative control sequence were transfected into the selected osteosarcoma cells as DHRS4-AS1 group and control group. CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation of each group of cells, and the absorbance value was used as the cell proliferation ability; cell scratch assay was used to detect the migration of each group of cells. The bioinformatics website starBase V2.0 was used to predict the target genes of DHRS4-AS1, and the dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between DHRS4-AS1 and the target genes. The expression levels of target genes and downstream genes of osteosarcoma cells in control group and DHRS4-AS1 group were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting.Results:Survival analysis showed that the disease-free survival of osteosarcoma patients in the high DHRS4-AS1 expression group in GEPIA database was superior to that of the low DHRS4-AS1 expression group ( P < 0.001). Compared with normal osteoblastic hFOB1.19 cells, the expression level of DHRS4-AS1 was low in all osteosarcoma cells (all P < 0.01), with the lowest expression level of DHRS4-AS1 in U-2OS cells ( P < 0.001). Cell proliferation ability was reduced in U-2OS cells of the DHRS4-AS1 group after 1, 2, 3 and 4 d of culture compared with the control group (all P < 0.05). The migration rate of U-2OS cells in the DHRS4-AS1 group was lower than that in the control group [(31±6)% vs. (63±4)%, t = 4.38, P = 0.005]. starBase V2.0 website predicted that DHRS4-AS1 complementarily bound to miRNA-411-3p (miR-411-3p); dual luciferase reporter gene assay showed that miR-411-3p overexpression reduced the luciferase activity of the wild-type DHRS4-AS1 reporter gene ( P < 0.001), but had no effect on the luciferase activity of the mutant DHRS4-AS1 reporter gene ( P > 0.05). qRT-PCR showed that the relative expression of miR-411-3p in U-2OS cells of the DHRS4-AS1 group was low (0.22±0.06 vs. 1.06±0.23, t = 3.55, P = 0.012) and the relative expression of metastasis suppressor MTSS1 mRNA was high (5.58±1.03 vs. 1.06±0.22, t = 4.28, P = 0.005) compared with the control group; Western blotting showed that MTSS1 expression was elevated, and the expression levels of cell proliferation phenotype proteins CDK3 and cyclin C and cell migration phenotype proteins ZEB2 and KLF8 were low. Conclusions:Osteosarcoma patients with high expression of lncRNA DHRS4-AS1 have better disease-free survival, and its expression is low in osteosarcoma cell lines. DHRS4-AS1 may promote MTSS1 gene expression and inhibit cell proliferation and migration by targeting and down-regulating miR-411-3p expression in osteosarcoma cells.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of recurrence after resection of thigh soft tissue malignant tumors and the evaluation of the postoperative lower limb function.Methods:A total of 211 patients who underwent thigh soft tissue malignant tumor resection in the Department of Orthopaedics of the second affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Zhejiang University from May 2011 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 117 males and 94 females, aged 53 (43, 65) years. There were 59 cases of atypical/well-differentiated liposarcoma, 30 cases of other types of liposarcoma, 33 cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, 19 cases of fibrosarcoma, 12 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma, 12 cases of leiomyosarcoma, 9 cases of synovial sarcoma, and 37 cases of others. The tumor involvement of muscle, bone, blood vessel, nerve tissue and intermuscular compartment, postoperative Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) functional score and recurrence were recorded. The relationship between anatomical structure and postoperative recurrence was analyzed by Cox logistic regression to determine risk factors; the cumulative recurrence rate of different compartment groups (medial compartment, anterior compartment, and posterior compartment) were compared; The Box plot was used to compare the postoperative function of patients with resection of different anatomical structures (e.g., vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, femur, etc.).Results:A total of 34 out of 211 patients relapsed, with a recurrence rate of 16.1%. The recurrence time ranged from 2.6 months to 91.6 months after operation, with a median recurrence time of 37.0 (18.2, 52.8) months. Three independent risk factors were found to be associated with recurrence, namely: pathological grade [ HR=3.86, 95% CI(1.75, 8.51)], involvement of vastus intermedius [ HR=3.05, 95% CI(1.53, 6.06)], and involvement of vastus medialis [ HR=3.17, 95% CI(1.56, 6.41)]. The recurrence rate of patients with anterior chamber tumor resection was 35.3%, which was higher than that of patients without tumor resection (16.2%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.020). There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between patients with medial chamber tumor resection and patients without tumor resection ( P>0.05). The recurrence rate of patients with posterior compartment tumor resection was 12.3%, which was lower than that of unresectable patients (37.6%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.002).The postoperative MSTS score of 167 patients averaged 26±3.2 points (9-30 points). After intraoperative resection of part of the femur, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and rectus femoris, the patient's function was relatively poor [corresponding median MSTS score: 25 (23, 28), 26 (24 28), 26 (24,28), 26(24, 27)]. Conclusion:The risk factors for local recurrence after resection of thigh soft tissue malignant tumors include: pathological grade of the tumor, and whether the vastus intermedius or vastus medialis is involved. Anterior compartment tumors have a higher recurrence rate after surgery. If the tumor involves the above-mentioned anatomical structures, more attention should be paid to the risk of local recurrence after surgery.

Objective:To study the effect of PAD (presentation-assimilation-discussion) class applied in the standardized residency training of dermatovenereology on improving residents' practical operation ability.Methods:A total of 120 residents taking the standardized residency training of dermatovenereology in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from November 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects and divided into two groups according to the time order of admission, among which, 60 residents enrolled from November 2018 to November 2019 were selected as the control group, and 60 residents enrolled from December 2019 to December 2020 were selected as the experimental group. The control group adopted the traditional standardized residency training mode, and the experimental group adopted the teaching mode of PAD class. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. The results of theoretical knowledge assessment and skill operation assessment were compared between the two groups by t test, the evaluation of teaching effect was compared between the two groups by chi-square test, and the satisfaction of teaching was compared between the two groups by rank sum test. Results:The theoretical knowledge [(45.38±4.14) points], skill operation [(42.35±4.32) points] and total score [(88.74± 7.69) points] of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group [(39.62 ± 4.15) points, (36.25±4.27) points, (77.96±7.52) points, respectively], with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The evaluation of teaching effect in the experimental group showed that 49 residents (81.67%) believed that their learning interest had been stimulated; 51(85.00%) improved their self-learning ability; 47(78.33%)improved their ability of analyzing and solving problems; 50(83.33%) improved their doctor-patient communication ability; 49(81.67%) improved their clinical thinking ability; 52(86.67%) improved their teamwork ability; and 50(83.33%) improved their literature retrieval ability. The results of satisfaction showed that the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group in sense of responsibility, teaching methods, teaching contents and self-evaluation. Conclusion:The application of PAD class in the standardized residency training of dermatovenereology plays a positive role in mobilizing the learning enthusiasm of residents and cultivating their independent learning ability, and can significantly improve the practical operation and theoretical awareness of residents.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of dislocation after resection and reconstruction of tumors involving pelvic area II, and to try to propose intraoperative and postoperative techniques to prevent its occurrence.Methods:From March 2011 to March 2021, 122 patients with resection and reconstruction involving pelvic area II were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 17 had postoperative dislocation, 32 had pelvic area II, and 31 had pelvic area I+II. There were 40 cases in the pelvic area II+III, and 19 cases in the pelvic area I+II+III. There were 49 female patients and 73 male patients; the mean age was 47 years (9-73 years). The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score of lower extremity patients after reduction was evaluated, and the clinical characteristics of dislocation, such as dislocation direction, dislocation time and reduction method, were counted and analyzed, and feasible prevention measures were analyzed based on the imaging characteristics after resection and reconstruction. dislocation method.Results:Among the 122 patients, there were 17 cases of dislocation, and the dislocation rate was 13.7%. Among them, 12 cases were anterior dislocation, accounting for 70.6% of anterior dislocation; 5 cases were posterior dislocation, and the proportion of posterior dislocation was 29.4%, difference (χ 2=4.52, P=0.033). There were 12 cases of dislocation within 3 months after operation, accounting for 70.6%; 1 case of dislocation occurred in 5 months after operation, and the other 4 cases of dislocation occurred for more than one year. The MSTS score of the dislocation patients after reduction was 56.1±15.6% (20%-80%). Combined with postoperative imaging examinations, the feasible methods for preventing dislocation include: The anteversion angle of the acetabular cup can be appropriately reduced (0°-10°); The acetabular cup can be appropriately shifted to the rear of the rotation center; Appropriately reducing the anteversion angle of the femoral neck prosthesis, the combination of the three can reduce the occurrence of femoral-acetabular prosthesis impingement; at the same time, the affected limb is controlled in a neutral position with strict nail shoes after surgery to avoid the occurrence of external rotation. Conclusion:The dislocation after tumor resection and reconstruction in pelvic area II is mostly anterior dislocation. Postoperative CT scan of the pelvis shows that the space between the neck of the femoral stem prosthesis and the lower edge of the acetabulum is small, which is prone to impingement. If the anteversion angle of the acetabular cup is appropriately reduced, the acetabular prosthesis is appropriately displaced posteriorly, and the anteversion angle of the femoral neck is reduced by 5°, the possibility of femoral-acetabular impingement can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative dislocation.

Liraglutide is an analog of glucagon⁃like peptide⁃1 and plays an important role in the treatment of diabetes. But the specific mechanism of liraglutide in improving the function of pancreatic β cells is still unclear. Therefore, high glucose (33 mmol/ L) was used to induce islet MIN6 cells for 48 hours to establish a high glucose injury model in this study. The CCK⁃8 assay was used to detect cell viability, and the results showed that the viability of MIN6 cells in the high glucose group decreased (P<0. 05) compared with the control group, and the cell viability increased after liraglutide treatment (P<0. 05). Using the mouse insulin detection kit and ATP content detection kit, we found that both the insulin re⁃ lease (P<0. 01) and ATP content decreased (P<0. 001) in the high glucose group compared with the control group, and after liraglutide treatment both insulin release (P < 0. 05) and ATP content (P < 0. 001) increased. We used the mitochondrial membrane channel pore (MPTP) fluorescence detection kit in MIN6 cells and found that the green fluorescence intensity of the high glucose group was significant⁃ ly decreased (P<0. 001) compared with the control group, and after liraglutide treatment the green fluo⁃ rescence intensity was significantly increased (P<0. 001). The DCFH⁃DA probe combined with flow cy⁃ tometry was used to detect the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We found that compared with the control group, the ROS level in the high glucose group was significantly increased (P<0. 001), and de⁃ creased by liraglutide treatment (P<0. 01). Intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities in the cell superna⁃ tant were measured, and the levels of MDA and LDH were significantly increased (P<0. 05), and the levels of SOD and CAT were significantly decreased (P<0. 01) in the high glucose group compared with the control group. After liraglutide treatment, the levels of MDA and LDH were decreased (P<0. 05), and the levels of SOD and CAT were increased (P<0. 05). The results of Western blotting showed that the expression of UCP2 was upregulated in the high glucose group (P<0. 01) compared with the control group, and after liraglutide treatment the expression of UCP2 decreased (P<0. 05). The results indica⁃ ted that liraglutide has significant effects in high⁃glucose induced mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress and insulin secretion in MIN6 cells, which will provide a theoretical basis for clinical utilization of liraglu⁃ tide.

Objective:To observe the stability of severe acute respiratory syrdrome coronavirus （SARS-CoV-2） in cell cultures at different temperatures so as to provide basic data and scientific basis for the research and control of COVID-19 epidemic. Methods:The Vero E6 cells inoculated with SARS-CoV-2. According to TCID₅₀， SARS-CoV-2 with different dilution （10^-1， 10^-3， 10^-5， 10^-6）were stored at 37 °C， 22.5 °C， and 4 °C for one to seven days， and then infectious titer was determined by micro cytopathogenic effect assay， observing cytopathic effect （CPE）， and real-time fluorescence quantitative testing. Results:SARS-CoV-2 was stable under 4 °C. The infectivity of high concentration （10^-1 dilution） under 22.5 °C for seven days gradually decreased， while lower concentration completely lost infectivity after one day. The virus lost infectivity when stored at 37 °C for more than one day. Conclusion:SARS-CoV-2 is highly stable at 4 °C， sensitive to heat， and related to virus concentration.
