Tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)are the predominant cell group in the tumor microenvironment(TME)and are the most important regulatory cells of immune system suppression and tumor cell proliferation in TIME.Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2(SHP-2)is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase that plays an important role in the transmission of signals from the cell surface to the nucleus.SHP-2 is a key intracellular regulatory factor mediating cell proliferation and differentiation and is involved in a variety of growth factor and cytokine signaling pathways linking the cell surface to the nucleus.Recent studies have shown that SHP-2 is a key enzyme in determining the function of TAMs,but because of its variable function,it plays different or even opposite roles in different solid TMEs.This paper reviews the function of SHP-2 in TAMs and related solid tumors to provide a comprehensive reference for tumor immunity and targeted therapy research.

Objective:To evaluate the residual risk (RR) of transfusion transmitted HIV (TT-HIV) after the implementation of nucleic acid amplification test (NAT) in blood screening test among blood centers in China.Methods:The data of blood donors and HIV infection markers from 2017 to 2020 were collected from 28 blood centers via the Platform of Comparison of blood establishments Practice in Chinese Mainland. The new infection rate/window period mathematical model was used for two types of blood screening strategies, namely, two rounds ELISA plus individual NAT take turn with pooling NAT (2ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT) and two ELISA plus one round pooling NAT (2ELISA+ MP-NAT), and the RR of HIV infection was estimated also based on first donors (FDs) and repeated donors (RDs) in different blood donation years. T-test analyses were conducted for comparing TT HIV RR among FDs and RDs in different blood donation years with two blood screening strategies, and the variation trend of RR in HIV test was observed.Results:From 2017 to 2020, the RR of FDs in 2ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT blood screening strategy was 2.869/10 6 person-year, 3.795/10 6 persons-year, 3.879/10 6 person-year, and 2.890/10 6 person-year respectively. The RR of RDs was 1.797/10 6 person-year, 1.502/10 6 person-year, 1.857/10 6 person-year, and 1.483/10 6 person-year respectively. Significant difference exists between RR of FDs and RDs, with F=9.898 and p<0.05. In 2ELISA+ MP-NAT strategy, the RR of FDs was 3.508/10 6 person-year, 1.868/10 6 person-year, 2.204/10 6 person-year, and 1.765/10 6 person-year respectively. The RR of RDs was 0.948/10 6 person-year, 0.926/10 6 person-year, 0.748/10 6 person-year, and 0.682/10 6 person-year respectively. Statistical difference existed between RR of FDs and RDs, with F=17.126 and P<0.05. There was no significant difference between the RR of FDs in these two strategies with F=3.493 and P>0.05, while there was a difference between the RR of RDs in these two strategies with F=24.516 and P<0.05, and a difference between the RR of total donors (TDs) in these two strategies F=20.216 and P<0.05. Conclusions:The RR of TT HIV significantly decreased after the introduction of NAT into blood test among blood centers in China. There were some differences in the RR of HIV testing among different blood screening strategies. There could be significant differences in the RR of HIV testing among different groups of blood donors. Compared with FDs, RDs is the low risk group for HIV.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) based on permissive high stroke volume variation (SVV) guidance on residual liver function in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy.Methods:A total of 100 elderly patients of either sex, aged 65-80 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-24.9 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, with Child-Pugh grade A or B, scheduled for elective laparoscopic hepatectomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=50 each) by the random number table method: SVV-guided GDFT group (group SG) and CVP-guided fluid replacement group (group C). Intraoperative fluid management was divided into 2 stages.The first stage was from the start of surgery to the completion of liver resection, the SVV was maintained at 13%-20% in group SG, and the low CVP was maintained at 0-5 cmH 2O in group C. The second stage was from completion of liver resection to the end of the operation, SVV was maintained at 9%-13%, additional hydroxyethyl starch 3 ml/kg was given or repeatedly administered when SVV>13% (for 5 min) or when the response to previous fluid replacement was positive (SVV increased by more than 10%), and the infusion rate was slowed down when the SVV was 9%-13% in group SG, and CVP was maintained at 5-12 cmH 2O in group C. Mean arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded on admission to the operating room, at skin incision (T 1), at the start of liver resection (T 2), at completion of liver resection (T 3) and at the end of operation (T 4). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, transfusion volume, urine volume and levels of serum lactic acid before operation and at the end of operation were recorded.Blood samples from the median cubital vein were collected at T 0-4 to measure blood glucose and cortisol concentrations.The concentrations of serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin and albumin were measured before operation, at 1, 3 and 5 days after operation, and prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time and Fib were recorded.The concentrations of serum interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and C-reactive protein were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before operation and at the end of operation, and the postoperative complications and length of hospital stay were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, mean arterial pressure and heart rate were significantly decreased at T 2, 3, blood loss was reduced, transfusion volume and urine volume were increased, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time were shortened at the end of operation, serum concentrations of interleukin-6 and lactic acid and concentrations of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in serum at 5 days after operation were decreased, and the length of hospital stay was shortened in group SG ( P<0.05). Conclusions:GDFT based on permissive high SVV guidance can improve residual liver function in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy.

Objective:To learn about the status of thyroid function and intelligence quotient (IQ) of children in areas with different iodine nutrition levels in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and to explore the health risk of children with median urinary iodine of 200 - 299 μg/L, and to provide a basis for scientific iodine supplementation.Methods:In May 2019, in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Altay Prefecture and Kashgar Prefecture were selected, where the median urinary iodine of children aged 8 to 10 years were 100 - 199 and 200 - 299 μg/L for three consecutive years (2017 - 2019). A stratified random sampling method was used to select 400 children aged 8 to 10 years in each of the two regions, urine and blood samples were collected to detect urinary iodine and thyroid function [thyrotropin stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT 4), free triiodothyronine (FT 3), anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), and anti-thyroperoxidase antibody (TPOAb)]. At the same time, children's IQ was measured and determined by Second Revision of Combined Raven's Test (CRT-C2) in China and Second Revision of Combined Raven's Test for Children-the Rural, in China (CRT-RC2). Results:The median urinary iodine of children aged 8 to 10 years in Altay Prefecture and Kashgar Prefecture was 188.6 and 250.1 μg/L, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in thyroid function indexes TSH and FT 3 levels between the two regions ( Z = - 0.58, t = 0.49, P > 0.05), while there was statistically significant difference in FT 4 level ( t = 60.08, P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in TgAb positive rate [3.6% (14/394), 4.0% (16/399)] between the two regions (χ 2 = 0.11, P = 0.736), but the difference of TPOAb positive rate [9.6% (38/394), 30.6% (122/399)] was statistically significant (χ 2 = 53.93, P < 0.001), while the difference of dual antibody positive rate [0.8% (3/394), 2.0% (8/399)] was not statistically significant ( P = 0.134). There was no statistically significant difference in the detection rates of subclinical hypothyroidism [8.9% (35/394), 11.0% (44/399)], subclinical hyperthyroidism [1.0% (4/394), 1.3% (5/399)] and hyperthyroidism [0.3% (1/394), 0.8% (3/399)] in children between the two regions ( P > 0.05). The IQ results of children in the two regions were 96.55 ± 11.36 and 89.57 ± 12.35, respectively, and there was no significant difference between them ( t = 2.79, P = 0.095). Conclusions:The thyroid function status of children is similar in the two regions with median urinary iodine of 100 - 199 μg/L and 200 - 299 μg/L in children aged 8 to 10 years, but the TPOAb positive rate is significantly different. Children whose iodine nutritional level is at or above the appropriate level have no obvious changes in intelligence. It is suggested that median urinary iodine at 200 - 299 μg/L is a relatively safe iodine nutrition state.

Osteofacial compartment syndrome (OCS) is one of the serious complications in traumatic orthopedics. If not treated in time, OCS may result in irreversible damage to nerve and muscle,even amputation or death in serious condition. 5P presents to be the classic clinical diagnosis of OCS, but it is highly subjective and cannot timely and accurately judge the progression of the disease. Intracompartment pressure manometry is the main auxiliary method for the diagnosis of OCS. Although there are many manometry methods, there is still no authoritative pressure threshold as the diagnosis standard. Clinicians often aggressively perform fasciotomy to avoid serious complications, leading to unnecessary fasciotomy. The authors retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with OCS treated at Air Force Hospital of Eastern Theater of PLA from March 2010 to March 2020 and found that some patients with OCS had gradual alleviation of clinical symptoms after appropriate conservative treatments such as brace releasing, limb stabilization and swelling subsidence, with no need of fasciotomy. However, the symptoms of some patients progressively aggravated after the above-mentioned traditional treatments and timely fasciotomy was required. The authors graded the severity of OCS and proposed for the first time the OCS grading criteria according to quantitative clinical results and quantitative indicators such as ratio of mean blood flow velocity of bilateral arteries and pulse wave changes, aiming to take corresponding intervention measures for patients with different OCS classifications, carry out more precise treatment and avoid unnecessary fasciotomy.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of distracting external fixator for tibiofibular fractures combined with osteofascial compartment syndrome.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 62 patients with tibiofibular fractures combined with osteofascial compartment syndrome admitted to Air Force Hospital from Eastern Theater of PLA from March 2009 to March 2019, including 47 males and 15 females, aged 20-78 years[(47.1±13.4)years]. There were 30 patients with tibia shaft fractures, 17 with tibia plateau fractures and 15 with tibia distal fractures. The fractures were classified as type 4A in 18 patients, type 4B in 24 and type 4C in 20 according to AO/OT classification. Distracting external fixation was performed for 30 patients(Group A)and calcaneal tuberosity traction for 32 patients(Group B). Levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), urea nitrogen(BUN), creatine kinase(CK)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)of the injured limb were compared between the two groups during traction. Additionally, the fasciotomy rate, time of damage control treatment(observation interval from trauma to stage II definitive surgery), time of stage II definitive surgery, internal fixation modalities of stage II definitive surgery, rate of needle tract infection and rate of non-planned secondary surgery were compared between the two groups. The limb function was assessed using Johner-Wruhs scoring system at the last follow-up.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-22 months[(15.1±2.7)months]. Level of CK in Group A was 315.6(140.0, 531.5)U/L, significantly lower than that in Group B[465.5(277.0, 1240.5)U/L]( P<0.05). The two groups revealed no statistical differences in levels of BUN, CK and LDH( P>0.05). The fasciotomy rate in Group A[40%(12/30)]was higher than that in Group B[34%(11/32)], but the difference was statistically insignificant( P>0.05). The time of stage II definitive surgery in Group A was(68.5±17.1)minutes, significantly lower than that in Group B[(89.0±15.1)minutes]( P<0.05). The rate of non-planned secondary surgery in Group A[3%(1/30)]was lower than that in Group B[25%(8/32)]( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in time of damage control treatment, internal fixation modalities of stage II definitive surgery and rate of needle infection between the two groups( P>0.05). According to Johner-Wruhs scoring system, the function in Group A were excellent in 17 patients, good in 5, fair in 2 and poor in 6 at the last follow-up, with the excellent rate of 73%. However, the difference was not statistically significant when compared to Group B: excellent in 13 patients, good in 3, fair in 7 and poor in 9, with the excellent rate of 50%( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with calcaneal tuberosity traction, the distracting external fixation of tibiofibular fractures combined with osteofascial compartment syndrome can attenuate soft tissue damage during the traction and shorten the time of stage II definitive surgery by maintaining intraoperative fracture reduction.

Background:
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is the most common thyroid dysfunction, and its relationship with blood pressure (BP) has been controversial. The aim of the study was to analyze the association between SCH and newly-diagnosed hypertension.
Methods:
Based on data from the Thyroid disease, Iodine nutrition and Diabetes Epidemiology (TIDE) study, 49,433 euthyroid individuals and 7,719 SCH patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled. Patients with a history of hypertension or thyroid disease were excluded. SCH was determined by manufacturer reference range. Overall hypertension and stage 1 and 2 hypertension were diagnosed according to the guidelines issued by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association in 2017.
Results:
The prevalence of overall hypertension (48.7%), including stage 1 (28.9%) and 2 (19.8%) hypertension, increased significantly in SCH patients compared with euthyroid subjects. With elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level, the hypertension prevalence also increased significantly from the euthyroid to different SCH subgroups, which was more profound in females or subjects aged <65 years. The age- and sex-specific regression analysis further demonstrated the same trends in the general population and in the 1:1 propensity matched population. Similarly, several BP components (i.e., systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial BP) were positively associated with TSH elevation, and regression analysis also confirmed that all BP components were closely related with SCH in female subjects aged <65 years.
Conclusion
The prevalence of hypertension increases for patients with SCH. SCH tends to be associated with hypertension and BP components in females younger than 65 years.
