Bacterial biofilms gave rise to persistent infections and multi-organ failure, thereby posing a serious threat to human health. Biofilms were formed by cross-linking of hydrophobic extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), such as proteins, polysaccharides, and eDNA, which were synthesized by bacteria themselves after adhesion and colonization on biological surfaces. They had the characteristics of dense structure, high adhesiveness and low drug permeability, and had been found in many human organs or tissues, such as the brain, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and skeleton. By releasing pro-inflammatory bacterial metabolites including endotoxins, exotoxins and interleukin, biofilms stimulated the body’s immune system to secrete inflammatory factors. These factors triggered local inflammation and chronic infections. Those were the key reason for the failure of traditional clinical drug therapy for infectious diseases.In order to cope with the increasingly severe drug-resistant infections, it was urgent to develop new therapeutic strategies for bacterial-biofilm eradication and anti-bacterial infections. Based on the nanoscale structure and biocompatible activity, nanobiomaterials had the advantages of specific targeting, intelligent delivery, high drug loading and low toxicity, which could realize efficient intervention and precise treatment of drug-resistant bacterial biofilms. This paper highlighted multiple strategies of biofilms eradication based on nanobiomaterials. For example, nanobiomaterials combined with EPS degrading enzymes could be used for targeted hydrolysis of bacterial biofilms, and effectively increased the drug enrichment within biofilms. By loading quorum sensing inhibitors, nanotechnology was also an effective strategy for eradicating bacterial biofilms and recovering the infectious symptoms. Nanobiomaterials could intervene the bacterial metabolism and break the bacterial survival homeostasis by blocking the uptake of nutrients. Moreover, energy-driven micro-nano robotics had shown excellent performance in active delivery and biofilm eradication. Micro-nano robots could penetrate physiological barriers by exogenous or endogenous driving modes such as by biological or chemical methods, ultrasound, and magnetic field, and deliver drugs to the infection sites accurately. Achieving this using conventional drugs was difficult. Overall, the paper described the biological properties and drug-resistant molecular mechanisms of bacterial biofilms, and highlighted therapeutic strategies from different perspectives by nanobiomaterials, such as dispersing bacterial mature biofilms, blocking quorum sensing, inhibiting bacterial metabolism, and energy driving penetration. In addition, we presented the key challenges still faced by nanobiomaterials in combating bacterial biofilm infections. Firstly, the dense structure of EPS caused biofilms spatial heterogeneity and metabolic heterogeneity, which created exacting requirements for the design, construction and preparation process of nanobiomaterials. Secondly, biofilm disruption carried the risk of spread and infection the pathogenic bacteria, which might lead to other infections. Finally, we emphasized the role of nanobiomaterials in the development trends and translational prospects in biofilm treatment.

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 investigate the effect of CD8+CD28-T cells on acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD)after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(haplo-HSCT).Methods:The relationship between absolute count of CD8+CD28-T cells and aGVHD in 60 patients with malignant hematological diseases was retrospectively analyzed after haplo-HSCT,and the differences in the incidence rate of chronic graft-versus host disease(cGVHD),infection and prognosis between different CD8+CD28-T absolute cells count groups were compared.Results:aGVHD occurred in 40 of 60 patients after haplo-HSCT,with an incidence rate of 66.67％.The median occurrence time of aGVHD was 32.5(20-100)days.At 30 days after the transplantation,the absolute count of CD8+CD28-T cells of aGVHD group was significantly lower than that of non-aGVHD group(P=0.03).Thus the absolute count of CD8+CD28-T cells at 30 days after transplantation can be used to predict the occurrence of aGVHD to some extent.At 30 days after transplantation,the incidence rate of aGVHD in the low cell count group(CD8+CD28-T cells absolute count＜0.06/μl)was significantly higher than that in the high cell count group(CD8+CD28-T cells absolute count ≥0.06/μl,P=0.011).Multivariate Cox regression analysis further confirmed that the absolute count of CD8+CD28-T cells at 30 days after transplantation was an independent risk factor for aGVHD,and the risk of aGVHD in the low cell count group was 2.222 times higher than that in the high cell count group(P=0.015).The incidence of cGVHD,fungal infection,EBV infection and CMV infection were not significantly different between the two groups with different CD8+CD28-T cells absolute count.The overall survival,non-recurrent mortality and relapse rates were not significantly different between different CD8+CD28-T cells absolute count groups.Conclusion:Patients with delayed CD8+CD28-T cells reconstitution after haplo-HSCT are more likely to develop aGVHD,and the absolute count of CD8+CD28-T cells can be used to predict the incidence of aGVHD to some extent.The absolute count of CD8+CD28-T cells after haplo-HSCT was not associated with cGVHD,fungal infection,EBV infection,and CMV infection,and was also not significantly associated with the prognosis after transplantation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of E-cadherin and β-catenin and calcium phosphorus metabolism and carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Methods A total of 112 patients with diabetic nephropathy admitted to the hospital from May 2019 to No-vember 2022 were selected as the study group,and were divided into a carotid artery calcification group(n=44)and a non-carotid artery calcification group(n=68)according to the results of bilateral carotid artery col-or Doppler ultrasound.In addition,90 healthy people who underwent physical examination in the hospital dur-ing the same period were selected as the control group.Serum E-cadherin,β-catenin,calcium phosphorus me-tabolism levels were detected and compared.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between serum E-cadherin,β-catenin and calcium phosphorus metabolism in patients with diabetic nephropa-thy.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum E-cad-herin and β-catenin for carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of carotid artery calcification in patients with di-abetic nephropathy.Results The levels of glycosylated hemoglobin,serum phosphorus,calcium-phosphorus product,parathyroid hormone(iPTH),creatinine,alkaline phosphatase and β-catenin in the study group were higher than those in the control group,and the level of E-cadherin was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The levels of serum phosphorus,serum calcium,calcium phosphorus product,iPTH,creatinine,al-kaline phosphatase and β-catenin in the carotid artery calcification group were higher than those in the non-ca-rotid artery calcification group,and the level of E-cadherin was lower than that in the non-carotid artery calci-fication group(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum E-cadherin level in patients with di-abetic nephropathy was negatively correlated with serum phosphorus,serum calcium,calcium phosphorus product,iPTH,creatinine and alkaline phosphatase(r=-0.453,-0.654,-0.365,-0.490,-0.411,-0.377,all P＜0.001).The level of serum β-catenin was positively correlated with serum phosphorus,serum calcium,calcium phosphorus product,iPTH,creatinine,and alkaline phosphatase(r=0.444,0.345,0.421,0.398,0.651,0.622,all P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum E-cad-herin,β-catenin and their combination for predicting carotid artery calcification in diabetic nephropathy were 0.844(95％CI 0.795-0.894),0.853(95％CI 0.801-0.901)and 0.901(95％CI 0.801-0.901),respec-tively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum E-cadherin(OR=3.789,95％CI 2.055-6.983),β-catenin(OR=4.104,95％CI 1.795-9.385),calcium phosphorus product(OR=2.998,95％CI 1.895-4.743)and iPTH(OR=2.713,95％CI 1.787-4.118)were the influencing factors of carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy(P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of β-catenin is increased and the level of E-cadherin is decreased in patients with diabetic nephropathy.β-catenin and E-cadherin are closely related to calcium phosphorus metabolism and carotid artery calcification,which could be used as effec-tive indicators to evaluate carotid artery calcification in patients with diabetic nephropathy.The combination ofβ-catenin and E-cadherin has a higher predictive value for carotid artery calcification.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of growth differentiation factor-11(GDF-11)and S100 calcium binding protein A4(S100A4)and the severity and disease outcome in diabetic nephropathy(DN)patients.Methods A total of 95 DN patients admitted to the hospital from May 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study group,and 110 healthy people were selected as the healthy group.The DN patients were divided into mild group(n=66)and severe group(n=29)according to the severity of the disease.The patients were followed up for half a year after discharge,and were divided into good prognosis group(n=64)and poor prognosis group(n=31)according to the prognosis.Serum GDF-11 and S100A4 lev-els were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to ex-plore the relationship between serum GDF-11,S100A4 levels and the severity of the disease.Receiver operat-ing characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum GDF-11 and S100A4 for dis-ease outcome in DN patients,and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of disease outcome in DN patients.Results The levels of serum GDF-11 and S100A4 in mild group and severe group were higher than those in healthy group,and those in severe group were higher than those in mild group(P＜0.05).Serum GDF-11 and S100A4 levels were positively correlated with the severity of DN patients(P＜0.05).The good prognosis group had significantly lower serum levels of GDF-11 and S100A4 than the poor prognosis group(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum GDF-11 and S100A4 in predicting the outcome of DN patients was 0.785 and 0.839,respectively,and the AUC of combined prediction was 0.902.The proportion of type 2 diabetes(T2DM)duration,glomerular grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ,interstitial inflammation score 2,interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy(IFTA)score 2-3 points,estimate glomerular filtration rate＜60 mL/(min·1.73 m2)and the levels of total cholesterol,triglyceride,low-density lipoprotein choles-terol,24 h urinary protein,glycosylated hemoglobin,C-peptide,hematocrit,and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the good prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis showed that the duration of T2DM ≥12.0 years,IFTA score ≥2 points,GDF-11≥700.82 ng/mL,S100A4 ≥ 211.53 ng/L were risk factors for poor prognosis in DN patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum S100A4 and GDF-11 are highly expressed in patients with diabetes mellitus,and are related to the severity and outcome of the disease,which are expected to be potential markers for eval-uating the condition and prognosis of diabetes mellitus.

Pancreatic cancer patients often have complaints such as upper abdominal pain and obstructive jaundice when seeking diagnosis and treatment. However, acute pancreatitis as a rare initial clinical manifestation of pancreatic cancer is often overlooked in clinical practice. This oversight often leads to a delayed diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, uncertainty in treatment strategies, and significantly affects patients′ quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment, and active follow-up are crucial for patients with acute pancreatitis as an initial symptom of pancreatic cancer. Upon admission to such patients, common causes such as gallstones, alcohol abuse, and hyperlipidemia should be initially ruled out. Evaluation with tumor markers, CT and MRI, and endoscopic ultrasound are essential to confirm the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. For patients with mild pancreatitis, managing peripancreatic inflammation first before radical resection of pancreatic cancer could reduce postoperative complications. Moreover, pancreatitis serves as a high-risk factor for pancreatic cancer, so it is crucial to closely follow up patients with pancreatitis to detect pancreatic cancer early.

Objective:To explore the changes of serum levels of angiopoictin-1(Angpt1)and endothelin-1(ET-1)in patients with newly-onset atrial fibrillation(AF)after heart valve replacement,and analyze their clinical sig-nificance.Methods:A total of 130 patients who underwent heart valve replacement in our hospital from January 2020 to March 2022 were divided into no AF group(n=72)and AF group(n=58)according to presence of AF within 7d after surgery.Serum levels of Angpt1 and ET-1 were detected by ELISA in two groups;the correlation between serum Angptl and ET-1 was analyzed by Pearson method in AF patients;ROC curve analysis was used to analyze the predictive value of serum Angpt1 and ET-1 levels for postoperative AF in these patients;Logistic re-gression was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative AF in these patients.Results:The left atrial diameter(LAD),proportion of NYHA class Ⅳ and cardiopulmonary bypass time in AF group were significantly higher than those of no AF group(P＜0.05 or＜0.01).One day after surgery,compared with no AF group,serum Angpt1 level significantly reduced and ET-1 level significantly increased in AF group(P＜0.001 both).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that serum Angpt1 level was significant inversely correlated with ET-1 level in AF pa-tients(r=-0.366,P=0.005).ROC analysis indicated that area under the curve(AUC)of combined detection of serum Angpt1 and ET-1 in predicting AF after heart valve replacement was significantly higher than those of each single detection(Z=2.761,1.998,P=0.006,0.046).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that LAD,NYHA class Ⅳ,cardiopulmonary bypass time and postoperative ET-1 were independent risk factors for postoperative AF in these patients(OR=1.471～1.739,P＜0.05 or＜0.01),while postoperative Angpt1 was its independent protective factor(OR=0.634,P=0.004).Conclusion:Serum Angpt1 level significantly reduces and ET-1 level significantly increases in patients with newly-onset AF after heart valve replacement.Combined detec-tion of Angpt1 and ET-1 levels possesses high predictive value for postoperative AF.

Jumonji domain-containing protein D3(JMJD3)is a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase that specif-ically removes transcriptional repression marks di-and tri-methylated groups from lysine 27 on histone 3(H3K27me2/3).The erasure of these marks leads to the activation of some associated genes,thereby influencing various biological processes,such as development,differentiation,and immune response.However,comprehensive descriptions regarding the relationship between JMJD3 and inflammation are lacking.Here,we provide a comprehensive overview of JMJD3,including its structure,functions,and involvement in inflammatory pathways.In addition,we summarize the evidence supporting JMJD3's role in several inflammatory diseases,as well as the potential therapeutic applications of JMJD3 inhibitors.Additionally,we also discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with investigating the functions of JMJD3 and developing targeted inhibitors and propose feasible solutions to provide valuable insights into the functional exploration and discovery of potential drugs targeting JMJD3 for inflammatory diseases.

Mannitol-calcium chloride metal organic framework (MOF) cocrystal significantly improved the tabletability of β-mannitol and could be developed as a new tablet filler. However, mannitol monomer was found in the product during the scale-up production of the excipient, which significantly affected the functional properties of the excipient. In this study, we intend to quantify the multi-component eutectic system of mannitol-calcium chloride. In this experiment, the MOF cocrystal excipient mannitol-calcium chloride cocrystal was used as the model compound, and infrared spectrum was collected. Based on partial least squares regression (PLSR) method, the abnormal bands were removed and the spectrum was preprocessed by normalization. The quantitative correction model of mannitol-calcium chloride MOF cocrystal content in cocrystal excipients was established and compared by two different variable screening methods, genetic algorithm (GA) and competitive adaptive reweighting algorithm (CARS). Two different variable screening methods, GA method and CARS method, were used to screen out 160 and 14 variables, respectively. The mannitol-calcium chloride cocrystal model established by CARS-PLSR method had the best performance, and the average relative error (MRE) and corrected root mean square error (RMSEC) of the model were 0.008 8 and 0.892 5, respectively, the determination coefficient (R²) of the model was increased from 0.978 3 to 0.994 4. The quantitative method of eutectic system established in this study has high prediction accuracy, fast detection speed and good stability, which is of great significance for optimizing the preparation process conditions and quality control methods of such eutectic excipients.
