AIM:Using bioinformatics analysis and experiment validation to explore the differential expres-sion genes related to abnormal lipid metabolism in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and the molecular mechanism of pachymaran affecting pyroptosis through squalene epoxidase(SQLE)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like re-ceptor protein 3(NLRP3)/gasdermin D(GSDMD)signaling pathway.METHODS:(1)The GEO,GSEA,DAVID,STRING and GEPIA databases were employed to screen abnormal lipid metabolism-related differentially expressed genes in HCC.(2)The tumor tissues from HCC patients(n=9)were collected to verify the differential expression of SQLE.(3)The inhibitory effect of pachymaran on the viability of human HCC cell line HepG2 was measured by CCK-8 assay.(4)The HepG2 cells were divided into control group and pachymaran(800 mg/L)group.The cell migration was analyzed by wound-healing assay,and RT-qPCR was used to measure SQLE mRNA expression.(5)The HepG2 cells with overexpres-sion of SQLE(OE-SQLE)were divided into 5 groups as follows:control group,overexpression negative control(OE-NC)group,OE-SQLE group,OE-NC+pachymaran group,and OE-SQLE+pachymaran group.The mRNA and protein expres-sion levels of SQLE and pyroptosis-related factors were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Colorimetric method and ELISA were used to measure lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-18 levels.The necrosis of HepG2 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.RESULTS:The SQLE gene was screened through bioinformatics analysis,and its mRNA expression was significantly increased in tumor tissues from HCC patients(P＜0.01).In cell experiments,treatment with 800 mg/L pachymaran for 48 h had a significant inhibitory effect on HepG2 cell viability,and the expres-sion of SQLE mRNA was reduced(P＜0.01).After overexpression of SQLE,the mRNA and protein levels of pyroptosis-re-lated factors,necrotic rate,and LDH,IL-1β and IL-18 levels were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).After treatment with pachymaran,the above indicators were significantly increased(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The SQLE is abnormal-ly highly expressed in HCC,and pachymaran can affect the growth of HCC cells by activating the NLRP3/GSDMD pyropto-sis pathway through SQLE.

Objective:To investigate the comorbidity status of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia (the"three diseases") among residents aged≥40 in Liaoning Province, and to explore the correlation between the comorbidity and cardiovascular disease mortality.Methods:This investigation was a prospective cohort study. From February 2017 to March 2019, a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to carry out a baseline survey of 18 758 permanent residents aged≥40 years in Liaoning Province. Demographic information and history of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were collected and followed up every year. Death was mainly identified by linkage to the Population Death Information Registration Management System. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the association between the comorbidity of the "three diseases" and cardiovascular disease mortality risk.Results:A total of 18 758 residents aged≥40 in Liaoning Province were included, with an age of (60.3±9.9) years and 7 325 males (39.1%). The comorbidity rate of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia was 6.7% (1 256/18 758), and the standardized prevalence rate was 5.4%. The comorbidity rate increased with age (P<0.001), which was higher in women than in men, and more significant in urban areas than in rural areas (all P<0.001). The comorbidity of "three diseases" accounted for 39.3% (1 256/3 198), 18.7% (1 256/6 710), and 11.8% (1 256/10 653) in patients with diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, respectively. With a follow-up of (4.3±0.6) years, 463 people died of cardiovascular disease. The mortality rate of cardiovascular disease in the comorbidity of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia was 8.74/1 000 person-years. After adjusting potential confounders, Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis showed that compared with normal individuals, the hazard ratio of cardiovascular disease mortality in patients with the "three diseases" was 2.55 (95% CI: 1.63-3.99). Conclusion:The prevalence of comorbidity of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia among residents aged≥40 in Liaoning Province was relatively high, and the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality in patients with the "three diseases" was increased.

Objective To investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of chemotherapy induced by nimotuzumab(NTZ)combined with TP regimen and sequential concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor positive(EGFR-positive)locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods A total of 48 patients with stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ A nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were prospectively enrolled,and were randomized into two groups:NTP(NTZ+docetaxel/albumin-paclitaxel+cisplatin)group and TP(Docetaxel/albumin-paclitaxel+cisplatin)group(24 cases per group)by random number table method.After 2 or 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy in NTP group,NTZ was sequentially used in combination with cisplatin for concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the EGFR expression level,exploring EGFR expression intensity and the therapeutic effect of NTZ in NTP group patients.Meanwhile,short-term efficacy,withdrawal rate and toxic side effects were compared between the two groups after induction chemotherapy.Results In NTP group,the positive expression rate of EGFR was 100％,and EGFR expression intensity significantly correlated with the efficacy of NTZ-combined induction therapy(P<0.05).After induction chemotherapy,the objective response rate(ORR)of cervical lymph nodes in NTP group was significantly higher than that in TP group(75％vs.45.8％,P=0.039).The primary lesion ORR and overall(primary lesion and cervical lymph node)ORR showed no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Comparison of adverse reactions between the two groups during induction therapy:leukopenia and gastrointestinal reaction in NTP group were lower than those in TP group(P<0.05),but rash was higher than those in TP group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in liver function,hemoglobin and thrombocytopenia between two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions EGFR expression intensity varies in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues,with higher levels indicating greater clinical benefit of combined induction therapy with NTZ.NTZ combined with TP induction regimen demonstrates good short-term efficacy and safety for cervical lymph nodes in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

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 explore the application of time series models based on meteorological factors in the population density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province. Methods　The density of Aedes albopictus in different habitats in 18 cities and counties of Hainan Province from 2017 to 2022 was monitored monthly using the double-mosquito net trapping index and the Breteau index. Mann-Kendall trend test was used to analyze the temporal trends of the two density indices; Spearman's correlation analysis was employed to assess the correlation strength between each meteorological factor and the two indexes, eliminating unrelated variables, and further selecting the final variables through the full-subset regression method. Three time-series models were constructed for the two density indices, with root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and other accuracy metrics used to determine the optimal model; predictions for the density indices for 2023-2024 were made. All statistical analyses were performed in R (4.3.1). Results　The net trapping and Breteau indices showed an overall decrease over the years (Z-values of Mann-Kendall trend test were -6.15 and -4.03, respectively, and P<0.05). The meteorological factor most strongly associated with the trap index was the monthly average minimum temperature; monthly mean minimum temperature and monthly mean relative humidity were strongly correlated with the Breteau index. Based on various evaluation indicators, the multivariate time series model demonstrated the highest accuracy. The study predicts one to two peaks in both the trap index and Breteau Index for the years 2023 and 2024, with peak periods occurring between June to September and May to September, respectively. The predicted value for 2023 aligns with the measured value, demonstrating outstanding predictive accuracy. Conclusions　This study has introduced meteorological factors into the seasonal time series model, allowing for more accurate predictions of the density of Aedes albopictus in Hainan Province from 2023 to 2024, providing a model framework for the prevention and control of dengue fever in Hainan Province.
