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.

In infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia(sBPD),severe pulmonary lobar emphysema may occur as a complication,contributing to significant impairment in ventilation.Clinical management of these infants is extremely challenging and some may require lobectomy to improve ventilation.However,prior to the lobectomy,it is very difficult to assess whether the remaining lung parenchyma would be able to sustain adequate ventilation postoperatively.In addition,preoperative planning and perioperative management are also quite challenging in these patients.This paper reports the utility of selective bronchial occlusion in assessing the safety and efficacy of lobectomy in a case of sBPD complicated by severe right upper lobar emphysema.Since infants with sBPD already have poor lung development and significant lung injury,lobectomy should be viewed as a non-traditional therapy and be carried out with extreme caution.Selective bronchial occlusion test can be an effective tool in assessing the risks and benefits of lobectomy in cases with sBPD and lobar emphysema.However,given the technical difficulty,successful application of this technique requires close collaboration of an experienced interdisciplinary team.

A boy,aged 7 months,presented with severe global developmental delay(GDD),refractory epilepsy,hypotonia,nystagmus,ocular hypertelorism,a broad nasal bridge,everted upper lip,a high palatal arch,and cryptorchidism.Genetic testing revealed a de novo heterozygous missense mutation of c.364G>A(p.E122K)in the EEF1A2 gene,and finally the boy was diagnosed with autosomal dominant developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 33 caused by the EEF1A2 gene mutation.This case report suggests that for children with unexplained infancy-onset severe to profound GDD/intellectual disability and refractory epilepsy,genetic testing for EEF1A2 gene mutations should be considered.This is particularly important for those exhibiting hypotonia,nonverbal communication,and craniofacial deformities,to facilitate a confirmed diagnosis.
10.The Roles of m6 A Modification in the Resistance of Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Chinese Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 2024;40(11):1513-1521
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and deadly malignancies world-wide,with many patients failing to benefit sustainably from emerging immunotherapies and targeted thera-pies due to drug resistance.Current commonly used biomarkers,such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP ),tumor mutation burden (TMB),and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1),lack efficacy in indica-ting the outcomes of HCC immunotherapy and targeted therapy.Therefore,identifying effective biomark-ers to accurately predict therapeutic efficacy is crucial for optimizing clinical decision-making.Recent studies have shown that N6-methyladenosine (m6 A) modification,one of the most common and important RNA modifications in eukaryotes,plays a significant role in the HCC resistance to immunotherapy and targeted therapy.We summarize the research progress regarding to the roles and mechanisms of m6 A modification and its functional proteins in the resistance to immunotherapy and targeted therapy in HCC,and also discuss the potential application of m6 A modification as biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of these treatments.
