Objective:To prepare seven standard strains of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), including wild type (WT) strain, Beta variant, Delta variant, Omicron variants (BA.2, BA.5, BQ.1, XBB.1 branches), which could be used to apply for national standard strains.Methods:According to cytopathic effect (CPE), virus titer, whole-virus-genome-sequencing and detection of mycoplasma, the basic biological characteristics of clonal isolation were determined through plaque purification technology.Results:The CPE was mainly characterized by cell shrinkage and exfoliation in Vero cells after infection with seven 2019-nCoV clonal isolations (WT, Beta, Delta, Omicron, BA.2, BA.5, BQ.1 and XBB.1 branches). The result of mycoplasma detection were negative and titers of the clonal isolation from 2nd to 5th generations were stable at 10 5-10 8 TCID 50/ml; the electron microscope showed that the virions were all round or elliptical, with a diameter between 60 nm and 140 nm. The subtypes of 7 strains were identified by whole-virus-genome-sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, with genomic stability after the fifth successive generations of clonal isolation. Conclusions:The series clonal isolation of 2019-nCoV with typical CPE of coronavirus, clear morphological structure, good viral activity and stable genetic characteristics were prepared, and they could be used to apply for national standard strains.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.

Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

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 This study aims to develop and validate a dynamic web-based nomogram for predicting kinetophobia in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A prospective design was employed to selectively enroll 330 PCI patients admitted to a hospital in Hangzhou from December 2022 to July 2023.Single-factor analysis and Lasso regression were utilized to identify independent risk factors for kinesophobia post-PCI.Logistic regression was performed using R software,and a nomogram was constructed.The model was assessed through the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)and Hosmer-Lemeshow tests.Results There were 206 cases of kinesiophobia in 330 patients after PCI,and the incidence was 62.4％.Logistic regression analysis identified combined heart failure,emergency surgery,NYHA cardiac function grade,ADL level,sedentary behavior,Chinese version of PROMIS Physical Function Summary Table score,and Chinese version of Perceptive Social Support Scale score as independent influencing factors for kinesophobia after PCI(P＜0.05).The AUC value of the model was 0.821,with a sensitivity of 70.4％and specificity of 82.0％.The Hosmer-Lemeshow fit test yielded a non-significant result(x2=9.350,P=0.314).Calibration and decision curves demonstrated the model's favorable calibration and clinical practicability.The C-index of the nomogram prediction model was 0.778,0.774,and 0.800,respectively,by 5-fold cross-validation,10-fold cross-validation,and the Bootstrap method.Conclusion The dynamic nomogram model developed in this study effectively predicts kinesophobia in patients after PCI.It provides valuable references and support for clinical staff in early identification of high-risk patients,enabling the formulation of individualized health education strategies and exercise rehabilitation plans.
