To guide transfusion practice in critically ill children who often need plasma and platelet transfusions, the Transfusion and Anemia Expertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding (TAXI-CAB) developed Recommendations and Expert Consensus for Plasma and Platelet Transfusion Practice in Critically Ill Children. This guideline addresses 53 recommendations related to plasma and platelet transfusion in critically ill children with 8 kinds of diseases, laboratory testing, selection/treatment of plasma and platelet components, and research priorities. This paper introduces the specific methods and results of the recommendation formation of the guideline.

【Objective】 To investigate the association between genetic variations in the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) gene and BP responses to sodium and potassium intake. 【Methods】 A total of 514 subjects from 124 families were recruited in Meixian County, Shaanxi Province, in 2004, resulting in the establishment of a "salt-sensitive hypertension study cohort" . The subjects followed a dietary regimen which involved a normal diet for 3 days, a low-salt diet for 7 days, a high-salt diet for 7 days, and a high-salt potassium-supplemented diet for 7 days. BP measurement was conducted at different intervention periods, and peripheral blood samples were collected. Additionally, eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the GLP-1R gene were genotyped using the MassARRAY detection platform. 【Results】 The GLP-1R gene SNP rs9462472 exhibited a significant association with systolic BP, diastolic BP, and mean arterial pressure response to high-salt intervention. Similarly, SNP rs2268637 showed a significant association with systolic BP response to high-salt intervention. Furthermore, SNP rs2268637 was significantly associated with systolic BP and mean arterial pressure responses to high-salt plus potassium supplementation intervention. 【Conclusion】 Our findings indicate a significant association of genetic variations in the GLP-1R gene with BP responses to sodium and potassium intake. This suggests that the GLP-1R gene plays a role in the regulation of BP salt sensitivity and potassium sensitivity.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety between thermal ablation combined with synchronous transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)and TACE in patients with liver metastasis of neuroendocrine tumors of different pathologic grades.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors admitted to Department of Interventional Radiology,Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University from Nov 1,2006 to Jul 31,2022.The patients were divided into synchronous ablation group and TACE group according to treatment mode and subgroups according to pathological grade.The lesions were evaluated by postoperative imaging examination.The patients were followed up until Jul 31,2023,and surgery-related complications were recorded.The endpoint of prognosis were progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS).Results A total of 86 patients with neuroendocrine tumor were collected,including 34 patients in simultaneous ablation group and 52 patients in TACE group.According to WHO classification,21 patients at G1 stage,45 patients at G2 stage and 20 patients at G3 stage were included.No serious postoperative complications occurred in all patients.The median OS was 47.0(95%CI:31.2-62.8)months in the TACE group and 56.0(95%CI:8.3-73.4)months in the synchronous ablation group,with no statistical difference between the two groups(P=0.50).The median PFS was 18.0(95%CI:6.0-30.0)months in the TACE group and 29.0(95%CI:10.0-48.0)months in the synchronous ablation group,with no statistical difference between the two groups(P=0.22).Of the 45 patients at G2 stage,27 received TACE with a median OS of 47.0 months,and 18 received synchronous ablation with a median OS of 59.0 months,and there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P=0.45).The median PFS was 12.0 months in the TACE group and 32.0 months in the synchronous ablation group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0.03).Conclusion Comparing with TACE,simultaneous ablation can delay disease progression in patients with liver metastasis of neuroendocrine tumors to a certain extent and has good safety,especially for patients with liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors with intermediate or low grade.

Objective To explore the effect and prognostic factors of intravenous thrombolysis combined with Trevo stent mechanical thrombectomy in the treatment of ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 120 patients with ischemic stroke diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as research objects and divided into two groups according to random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.Both groups were given basic treatment,the control group was given intravenous thrombolytic therapy,and the observation group was given intravenous thrombolytic therapy combined with mechanical thrombectomy with Trevo stent.The clinical efficacy of the two groups was observed,and the patients were divided into a good prognosis group(46 cases)and a poor prognosis group(74 cases)according to the prognosis.Clinical data such as gender,age,BMI,combined hypertension,combined diabetes,smoking,treatment methods,complete vascular recirculation rate,preoperative NIHSS score and postoperative NIHSS score of the two groups were collected.The independent prognostic factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression.Results The total effective rate of the study group was significantly higher 88.33％(53/60)than that of the control group 73.33％(44/60),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Univariate analysis showed that there were no statistically significant differences in gender,BMI,diabetes mellitus,and preoperative NIHSS score between the two groups(P＞0.05),while there were statistically significant differences in age,hypertension,smoking,treatment style,complete vascular revasculosity,and postoperative NIHSS score between the two groups(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,treatment style and complete vascular revasculopathy rate were independent factors affecting the prognosis of ischemic stroke patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Intravenous thrombolysis combined with mechanical thrombectomy with Trevo stent can improve the clinical efficacy and prognostic quality of ischemic stroke patients in the time window of intravenous thrombolysis.In addition,the prognosis of patients with ischemic stroke is also closely related to the age of patients and the rate of complete vascular recirculation after surgery.

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 explore the correlation between peripheral blood B cell count and clinical features and prognosis of patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:The relationship of peripheral blood B cell count with clinical features,laboratory indexes and prognosis in 67 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL was retrospectively analyzed.Results:Patients were divided into low B-cell count group(B cell＜0.1 × 109/L,n=34)and high B-cell count group(B cell≥0.1 × 109/L,n=33)according to the median B cell count values.Compared with the high B cell count group,the low B cell count group had a higher proportion of patients with Lugano stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ,elevated LDH,elevated β2-MG and IPI score 3-5 and increased CRP(P=0.033,0.000,0.023,0.001,0.033).The peripheral CD3+and CD4+cell counts of patients in the low B cell count group were significantly lower than those in the high B cell count group(P=0.010,0.017).After initial treatment,overall response rate(ORR)and complete remission(CR)rate in high B cell count group were significantly higher than those in low B cell count group(P=0.032,0.013).The median follow-up time of patients was 23(2-77)months,progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)of patients in the high B cell count group were significantly better than those in the low B cell count group(P=0.001,0.002).Univariate analysis showed that pretreatment low B cell count in the peripheral blood was associated with shortened PFS and OS(HR=4.108,P=0.002;HR=8.218,P=0.006).Multivariate analysis showed that low B cell count was an independent prognostic factor for shortened PFS(HR=3.116,P=0.037).Conclusion:Decreased peripheral blood B cell count in newly diagnosed DLBCL patients is associated with high-risk clinical features and may affect the efficacy of immunochemotherapy,which is associated with poor clinical prognosis.

Objective To investigate the presence of pepsin and trypsin in the middle ear effusion of children with acute suppurative otitis media(ASOM).Methods Middle ear effusion samples were collected from 71 children with ASOM at Children's Hospital of Xuzhou.According to the characteristics of the middle ear effusions,the effu-sion was divided into serous and mucous types.The pH testing,Western Blotting(WB),and enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay(ELISA)were performed.Results ① There were 49.29％(35/71)of ASOM patients had a posi-tive RSI score(＞13).② The positive rate of pepsin in ASOM children was 49.29％(35/71),and the positive rate of trypsin was 42.25％(30/71).In addition,the positive rate of pepsin in RSI-positive children was 100％(35/35),and the positive rate of trypsin was 60％(21/35).There was no significant difference in the positive rate of pepsin and trypsin between serous and mucous middle ear effusion(P＞0.05).③ The pepsin concentration was 47.80(39.80,69.30)ng/ml and the trypsin concentration was 291.87±20.45 ng/ml in middle ear effusion of chil-dren with ASOM who had a positive WB test,and the trypsin concentration was significantly higher than pepsin(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between the pepsin and the trypsin concentrations in serous and mu-cous middle ear effusion(P＞0.05).④ The pH value of mucous middle ear effusion was 7.39±0.28,and the pH value of serous middle ear effusion was 7.36±0.26.There was no significant difference between the pH value in se-rous and mucous middle ear effusion(P＞0.05).Conclusion The detection rates of pepsin and trypsin in middle ear effusion of children with ASOM were high which has important diagnostic value for children with ASOM combined with LPRD.

Objective To investigate the relationship of miRNA gene polymorphisms with blood pressure(BP)responses to the sodium and potassium diet intervention.Methods In 2004,we recruited 514 participants from 124 families in seven villages of Baoji,Shaanxi Province,China.All subjects were given a three-day normal diet,followed by a seven-day low-salt diet,a seven-day high-salt diet,and finally a seven-day high-salt and potassium supplementation.A total of 19 miRNA single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)were selected for analysis.Results Throughout the sodium-potassium dietary intervention,the BP of the subjects fluctuated across all phases,showing a decrease during the low-salt period and an increase during the high-salt period,followed by a reduction in BP subsequent to potassium supplementation during the high-salt diet.MiR-210-3p SNP rs 12364149 was significantly associated with systolic BP(SBP),diastolic BP(DBP)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)responses to low-salt diet.MiR-4638-3p SNP rs6601178 was significantly associated with SBP while miR-26b-3p SNP rs115254818 was significantly associated with MAP responses to low-salt intervention.In addition,miR-26b-3p SNP rs115254818 was significantly correlated with SBP,DBP and MAP responses to high-salt intervention.MiR-1307-5p SNPs rs1 1191676 and rs2292807 were associated with SBP and MAP responses to high-salt diet.MiR-4638-3p SNP rs6601178,miR-210-3p SNP rs12364149,miR-382-5p SNP rs4906032 and rs4143957 were significantly associated with SBP response to high-salt diet.In addition,miR-26b-3p SNP rs115254818 was significantly associated with SBP,DBP and MAP responses to potassium supplementation.MiR-1307-5p SNPs rs11191676,rs2292807,and miR-19a-3p SNP rs4284505 were significantly associated with SBP responses to high-salt and potassium supplementation.Conclusion miRNA gene polymorphisms are associated with BP response to sodium and potassium,suggesting that miRNA genes may be involved in the pathophysiological process of salt sensitivity and potassium sensitivity.

The structure of N-glycans on specific proteins can regulate innate and adaptive immunity via sensing environmental signals. Meanwhile, the structural diversity of N-glycans poses analytical challenges that limit the exploration of specific glycosylation functions. In this work, we used THP-1-derived macrophages as examples to show the vast potential of a N-glycan structural interpretation tool StrucGP in N-glycoproteomic analysis. The intact glycopeptides of macrophages were enriched and analyzed using mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycoproteomic approaches, followed by the large-scale mapping of site-specific glycan structures via StrucGP. Results revealed that bisected GlcNAc, core fucosylated, and sialylated glycans (e.g., HexNAc₄Hex₅Fuc₁Neu5Ac₁, N₄H₅F₁S₁) were increased in M1 and M2 macrophages, especially in the latter. The findings indicated that these structures may be closely related to macrophage polarization. In addition, a high level of glycosylated PD-L1 was observed in M1 macrophages, and the LacNAc moiety was detected at Asn-192 and Asn-200 of PD-L1, and Asn-200 contained Lewis epitopes. The precision structural interpretation of site-specific glycans and subsequent intervention of target glycoproteins and related glycosyltransferases are of great value for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for different diseases.
