This paper systematically summarizes the practical experience of the 2025 Dingri earthquake emergency medical rescue in Tibet. It analyzes the requirements for earthquake medical rescue under conditions of high-altitude hypoxia, low temperature, and low air pressure. The paper provides a detailed discussion on the strategic layout of earthquake medical rescue at the national level, local government level, and through social participation. It covers the construction of rescue organizational systems, technical systems, material support systems, and information systems. The importance of building rescue teams is emphasized. In high-altitude and cold conditions, rapid response, scientific decision-making, and multi-party collaboration are identified as key elements to enhance rescue efficiency. By optimizing rescue organizational structures, strengthening the development of new equipment, and promoting telemedicine technologies, the precision and effectiveness of medical rescue can be significantly improved, providing important references for future similar disaster rescues.

Background Chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) can effectively alleviate type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this process, the underlying mechanism in its association with the epigenetic regulation of DNA methylation in the promoter regions of glucose metabolism key enzyme genes remains unclear yet. Objective To investigate the effects of CIHH on expression and promoter region methylation of key enzyme genes related to glucose metabolism in diabetes mice, and to explore the underlying mechanism by which CIHH regulates glucose metabolism. Methods Forty C57BL/6J male mice were divided randomly into a normobaric normoxic control (NN/CON) group, a chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia intervention control (CIHH/CON) group, a normobaric normoxic diabetic model (NN/DM) group, and a chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia intervention diabetic model (CIHH/DM) group. The mice in the NN/DM and the CIHH/DM groups were fed for 7 weeks with high-fat and high-sugar diet. Subsequently, these mice were intraperitoneally injected consecutively with 50 mmol·L⁻¹ streptozotocin (STZ) for 5 d at a dose of 40 mg·kg⁻¹ (body weight) per day to create T2DM model mice. The mice in the CIHH/DM and the CIHH/CON groups were intervened by simulating hypobaric hypoxia at 5000 m altitude for 6 h per day, while the mice in the NN/DM and the NN/CON groups were always placed in a normobaric normoxic environment. All mice were continuously treated for 4 weeks, and blood glucose were monitored during this period. After the CIHH intervention experiment, the glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity of mice were evaluated. A set of indicators involved in key glycolytic enzymes glucokinase (GK) and pyruvate kinase (PK), as well as key gluconeogenic enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxyl kinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P) were measured in the liver of mice, including enzyme activity, relative mRNA expression level, and DNA methylation level in the gene promoter regions. Results Compared with the mice in the NN/DM group, the blood glucose levels of the mice in the CIHH/DM group decreased after the 25^th day of the CIHH intervention (P<0.05). Regarding the diabetic glucose tolerance curves, the area under the curve (AUC) of the mice in the CIHH/DM group was lower than that of the NN/DM group (P<0.05). Compared with the mice in the NN/DM group, the mice in the CIHH/DM group showed that the serum insulin content and HOMA of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IRI) decreased (P<0.05), the enzyme activities of GK and PK increased and the relative mRNA expression levels of their genes were up-regulated (P<0.05), while the enzyme activities of PEPCK and G6P decreased and the relative mRNA expression levels of their genes were down-regulated (P<0.05) in liver. The average DNA methylation levels in the promoter regions of GK, PK, PEPCK, and G6P genes in liver of mice in each group were not significantly different (P>0.05), and their correlations with mRNA expression levels were also not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion CIHH intervention may reduce blood glucose level, improve glucose tolerance, alleviate insulin resistance, and regulate the key enzyme activities of glucose metabolism and the relative mRNA expression of their corresponding genes in T2DM mice, but the above phenomena are not related to the DNA methylation levels in the promoter regions of these key enzymes.

Anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of clinic application, in which the star molecules have always been the hotspot of modern drug research, but they are limited by the solubility, stability, targeting, bioactivity or toxicity of the monomer components of traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor star molecules and other pharmacokinetic problems, which hinders the traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor star molecules for further clinical translation and application. Currently, the nanosystems prepared by supramolecular technologies such as molecular self-assembly and nanomaterial encapsulation have broader application prospects in improving the anti-tumor effect of active components of traditional Chinese medicine, which has attracted extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad. In this paper, we systematically review the research progress in preparation of supramolecular nano-systems from anti-tumor star molecule of traditional Chinese medicine, and summarize the two major categories and ten small classes of carrier-free and carrier-based supramolecular nanosystems and their research cases, and the future development direction is put forward. The purpose of this paper is to provide reference for the research and clinical transformation of using supramolecular technology to improve the clinical application of anti-tumor star molecule of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of the emm genotypes and virulence genes with the isolation sites of Group A Streptococcus (GAS). Methods:It was a retrospective study.The specimens were collected from children with impetigo in Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from 2006 to 2008 for GAS isolation and identification.A total of 24 GAS strains were isolated from 16 children with impetigo, among which 7 pairs of strains were isolated from the throat and skin of 7 children, and 1 pair of strains was isolated from the vulva and skin of one child, and the remaining 8 GAS strains were isolated from the skin pus samples of 8 children.Polymerase chain reaction was applied to detect the emm genotypes and 13 virulence genes ( speA, speB, speC, speF, speG, speH, speI, speJ, speK, speL, speM, smeZ and ssa). The correlation of the emm genotypes and virulence genes with the isolation sites of GAS strains was analyzed. Results:In this study, four emm genotypes were detected, including emm1.0 (15/24), emm12.0 (4/24), emm22.0 (2/24) and emm160.0 (1/24), and one subtype emm12.19 (2/24) was detected as well.The carrying rates of 13 virulence genes speA, speB, speC, speF, speG, speH, speI, speJ, speK, speL, speM, smeZ and ssa were 58.3%, 100%, 91.7%, 100%, 50.0%, 12.5%, 54.2%, 66.7%, 16.7%, 25.0%, 12.5%, 100% and 91.7%, respectively.All strains carried 5 to 11 virulence genes and they all carried speB, speF and smeZ.There were significant differences in the carrying rate of speA and speJ among the strains with different emm genotypes (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the distribution of virulence genes between skin isolates and pharyngeal isolates, including the 5 pairs of strains carrying the emm1.0 genotype (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The distribution of virulence gene of GAS in children with impetigo is significantly correlated with the emm genotype, rather than the isolation site.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab in pediatric myasthenia gravis (MG).Methods:Case series study. The clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, treatment plans and prognosis of 27 pediatric MG patients treated with rituximab from June 2013 to June 2023 at Children′s Medical Center of Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively collected.Results:There were 5 males and 22 females in 27 MG children. The onset age was 2.1 (1.6, 4.8) years, ranging from 8 months to 11 years. The clinical classification included 20 children (74%) of ocular MG and 7 children (26%) of generalized MG. Seventeen children (63%) had positive MG-related pathogenic antibodies, including 17 children of anti-AchR antibody and 1 of them also had anti-MuSK antibody. Rituximab was used as first-line immunosuppressant in 13 children, second-line immunosuppressant in 13 children and third-line immunosuppressant in 1 child. Immunosuppressants used before rituximab including 8 children of cyclosporine, 3 children of tacrolimus, 1 child of azathioprine, 1 child of mycophenolate mofetil and 1 child of cyclosporine combined with azathioprine. Rituximab was used for at least half a year with a follow-up period of more than 12 months. At the last follow-up after rituximab treatment, all children achieved improved or above, 14 children (52%) achieved complete stable remission, 7 children (26%) achieved pharmacologic remission, 1 child (4%) achieved minimal manifestations, and 5 children (18%) improved. After rituximab treatment, 27 children all could reduce the immunomodulation therapy and shorten the course of glucocorticoid therapy, and 22 children (81%) had stopped the glucocorticoid therapy. Among the 14 children with poor efficacy of other immunosuppressants, rituximab had complete stable remission of 7 children. The most common adverse reaction was respiratory infection (4 children (15%)). Only 2 children had allergic reaction to rituximab and got better after symptomatic treatment.Conclusions:Rituximab has good efficacy and tolerance in pediatric MG. Early application of rituximab can improve the prognosis and shorten the course of glucocorticoid treatment.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of miR-125b promoting invasion,metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of gastric cancer cells.Methods The expression of miR-125b in gastric cancer and its adjacent tissues was studied by qRT-PCR.After upregulating or downregulating miR-125b in gastric cancer cells,the protein expressions of DKK3 and SERPINA4 were detected by Western blotting.Dual luciferase reporting assay was used to verify whether miR-125b can target DKK3 and SERPINA4.MKN45 cells were co-transfected with miR-125b inhibitor and target gene siRNA.Migration and invasion experiments were conducted to explore whether miR-125b can regulate the biological function of MKN45 cells through DKK3 and SERPINA4.Then,the regulatory mechanism of SRF on miR-125b was investigated.Finally,by in vivo experiments,the expression of SRF in gastric cancer cells was upregulated or downregulated by lentivirus transfection;the number of lung metastases in nude mice was detected to explore the effect of SRF on gastric cancer cell metastasis.Results In this study,the expression of miR-125b increased in gastric cancer tissues,which was correlated with clinical stage and lymph node metastasis.Dual luciferase reporting experiments showed that DKK3 and SERPINA4 were the direct targets of miR-125b in gastric cancer cells,and could activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,thereby promoting the transcription process of EMT-related transcription factors Twist1 and Slug,inducing the occurrence of EMT,and promoting the metastasis of gastric cancer.In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that SRF promoted the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells by positively regulating the expression of miR-125b.Conclusion Taken together,SRF/miR-125b axis promotes the EMT and metastasis of gastric cancer cells,and these regulators represent new potential therapeutic targets or biomarkers for gastric cancer.

Objective To reduce the mechanical impact caused by postoperative creep and relaxation of tendon grafts by pre-setting high-strength sutures using suture weaving.Methods Fresh pig tendo calcaneus specimens were used to prepare 30 anterior cruciate ligament tendon grafts,and they were randomly divided into control group,2-strand suture implantation group,and 4-strand suture implantation group,with 10 tendon grafts in each group.The control group were not given suture implantation in the tendon grafts,and the 2-and 4-strand suture implantation groups were pre-set 2 and 4 strands of high-strength No.2 sutures,respectively.The tendon grafts in each group were subjected to 1,100,500,1 000,1 500,2 000,2 500,and 3 000 fatigue tests in turn,and the relaxation was recorded.Finally,the tendon grafts in each group were pulled to failure at a constant rate of 5 cm/min,and the traction force when the relaxation reached 5 mm,i.e.the failure load,was recorded.Results The relaxation of tendon grafts after each fatigue test was significantly lower in the 2-and 4-strand suture implantation groups than that in the control group,and the relaxation was significantly lower in the 4-strand suture implantation group than that in the 2-strand suture implantation group(all P＜0.05).The failure loads of tendon grafts were significantly higher in the 2-and 4-strand suture implantation groups than that in the control group,and the failure load was significantly higher in the 4-strand suture implantation group than that in the 2-strand suture implantation group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Pre-setting high-strength sutures in tendon grafts by suture weaving can effectively improve the mechanical properties of tendon grafts.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.

Coronary perforation is when a contrast agent or blood flows outside a blood vessel through a tear in a coronary artery.In this case,we reported a case of percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary calcified lesions,which led to iatrogenic coronary perforation and cardiac tamponade after the use of Shockwave balloon to treat intracoronary calcified nodules,and the management of PCI-related CAP was systematically reviewed through the literature.

Objective:To observe the inhibitory effect of dobutamine on proliferation of FLT3-ITD mutated acute myeloid leukemia(AML)cells and explore the feasibility of dobutamine as a monotherapy or in combination with quizartinib for the treatment of this type of AML.Methods:FLT3-ITD mutant cell lines MOLM13 and MV4-11 were cultured in vitro and divided into control group,dobutamine treatment group,quizartinib treatment group,and dobutamine combined with quizartinib treatment group.Cell viability,ROS levels,and apoptosis rate were detected by CCK-8,Flow cytometry,respectively,as well as the expression of YAP1 protein by Western blot.Results:Both dobutamine and quizartinib inhibited the proliferation of FLT3-ITD mutant AML cell lines.Compared with the control group,the dobutamine group exhibited a significant increase in ROS levels(P＜0.01),an increase in apoptosis rates(P＜0.05),and a decrease in YAP1 protein expression(P＜0.05).Compared with the dobutamine group,the combination of quizartinib and dobutamine significantly reduced cell viability(P＜0.05),increased ROS levels(P＜0.01),and decreased YAP1 expression(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Dobutamine as a monotherapy can inhibit the proliferation of FLT3-ITD mutated AML cells,inducing apoptosis.Additionally,the combination of quizartinib enhances the targeted inhibitory effect on FLT3-ITD mutated AML.The mechanism may involve the inhibition of YAP1 protein expression in AML cells of this type,leading to an increase in ROS levels and exerting its anti-tumor effects.
