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.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the cytotoxicity of four wild mushrooms involved in a case of Yunnan sudden unexplained death (YNSUD), to provide the experimental basis for prevention and treatment of YNSUD. METHODS: Four kinds of wild mushrooms that were eaten by family members in this YNSUD incident were collected and identified by expert identification and gene sequencing. Raw extracts from four wild mushrooms were extracted by ultrasonic extraction to intervene HEK293 cells, and the mushrooms with obvious cytotoxicity were screened by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The selected wild mushrooms were prepared into three kinds of extracts, which were raw, boiled, and boiled followed by enzymolysis. HEK293 cells were intervened with these three extracts at different concentrations. The cytotoxicity was detected by CCK-8 combined with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) Assay Kit, and the morphological changes of HEK293 cells were observed under an inverted phase contrast microscope. RESULTS: Species identification indicated that the four wild mushrooms were Butyriboletus roseoflavus, Boletus edulis, Russula virescens and Amanita manginiana. Cytotoxicity was found only in Amanita manginiana. The raw extracts showed cytotoxicity at the mass concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, while the boiled extracts and the boiled followed by enzymolysis extracts showed obvious cytotoxicity at the mass concentration of 0.4 mg/mL and 0.7 mg/mL, respectively. In addition to the obvious decrease in the number of HEK293 cells, the number of synapses increased and the refraction of HEK293 cells was poor after the intervention of Amanita manginiana extracts. CONCLUSIONS The extracts of Amanita manginiana involved in this YNSUD case has obvious cytotoxicity, and some of its toxicity can be reduced by boiled and enzymolysis, but cannot be completely detoxicated. Therefore, the consumption of Amanita manginiana is potentially dangerous, and it may be one of the causes of the YNSUD.

Objective:To explore the difference of lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood(PB)between aplastic anemia(AA)and hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome(hypo-MDS)patients,meanwhile to compare the clinical parameters obtained from PB and bone marrow(BM).Methods:The lymphocyte subsets in hypo-MDS(n=25)and AA(n=33)patients were investigated by flow cytometry.Meanwhile,the differences in PB cell counts,biochemical indicators,BM cell counts and abnormal chromosomes between the two groups were analyzed.Results:The percentage of CD8+T cells in A A group was significantly higher than that in hypo-MDS group(P=0.001),while the percentage of CD4+T cells and the CD4+/CD8+ratio in AA group were obviously lower than those in hypo-MDS group(P=0.015 and0.001,respectively).Furthermore,the proportion of CD4+andCD8+activated T(TA)cells,and memory Tregs in AA group was distinctly lower than those in hypo-MDS group(P=0.043,0.015 and 0.024,respectively).Nevertheless,the percentage of CD8+naive T(TN)cells in AA patients was remarkably higher(P=0.044).And hypo-MDS patients had declined lymphocyte counts(P=0.025),increased levels of total bilirubin(TBil),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),vitamin B12 and proportion of BM blasts than AA patients(P=0.019,0.023,0.027 and 0.045,respectively).Conclusion:In this study it was confirmed that the percentages of CD4+and CD8+TA cells,memory Tregs and CD8+TN cells were significantly different between AA and hypo-MDS patients,which provide an essential basis for the identification of these two diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Epothilone D on traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) in rats. METHODS: Forty-two SD rats were randomized to receive intraperitoneal injection of 1.0 mg/kg Epothilone D or DMSO (control) every 3 days until day 28, and rat models of TON were established on the second day after the first administration. On days 3, 7, and 28, examination of flash visual evoked potentials (FVEP), immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting were performed to examine the visual pathway features, number of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), GAP43 expression level in damaged axons, and changes of Tau and pTau-396/404 in the retina and optic nerve. RESULTS: In Epothilone D treatment group, RGC loss rate was significantly decreased by 19.12% (P=0.032) on day 3 and by 22.67% (P=0.042) on day 28 as compared with the rats in the control group, but FVEP examination failed to show physiological improvement in the visual pathway on day 28 in terms of the relative latency of N2 wave (P=0.236) and relative amplitude attenuation of P2-N2 wave (P=0.441). The total Tau content in the retina of the treatment group was significantly increased compared with that in the control group on day 3 (P < 0.001), showing a consistent change with ptau-396/404 level. In the optic nerve axons, the total Tau level in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group on day 7 (P=0.002), but the changes of the total Tau and pTau-396/404 level did not show an obvious correlation. Epothilone D induced persistent expression of GAP43 in the damaged axons, detectable even on day 28 of the experiment. CONCLUSION Epothilone D treatment can protect against TON in rats by promoting the survival of injured RGCs, enhancing Tau content in the surviving RGCs, reducing Tau accumulation in injured axons, and stimulating sustained regeneration of axons.

Objective To explore the association of cardiac disease associated genetic variants and the high incidence of Yunnan sudden unexplained death （YNSUD） in Yi nationality. Methods The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples collected from 205 Yi villagers from YNSUD aggregative villages （inpatient group） and 197 healthy Yi villagers from neighboring villages （control group）. Fifty-two single nucleotide variants （SNVs） of 25 cardiac disease associated genes were genotyped using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF-MS）. The SPSS 17.0 was used to analyze data. The pathogenicities of variants with differences between the two groups that have statistical significance were predicted by protein function prediction software PolyPhen-2 and SIFT. All villagers from inpatient group were given electrocardiogram （ECG） examination using a 12-lead electrocardiograph. Results The allele frequency and the genotype frequency of missense mutation DSG2 （rs2278792, c.2318G>A, p.R773K） of pathogenic genes of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy （ARVC） in inpatient group was higher than that in control group （P<0.05）. Abnormal ECG changes were detected in 71 individuals （34.6%） in the inpatient group, among which 54 individuals carried R773K mutation, including clockwise （counterclockwise） rotation, left （right） axis deviation, ST segment and T wave alteration and heart-blocking. Conclusion Definite pathogenic mutations have not been found in the 52 cardiac disease genes associated SNVs detected in Yi nationality in regions with high incidence of YNSUD. The cause of high incidence of YNSUD in Yi nationality needs further study.

Objective The level of lactic acid in blood can reflect the degree of ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue and cerebral perfusion pressure. The aim of this paper is to explore the value of blood lactate and lactate clearance in evaluating the survival rate and neurological outcome of patients with craniocerebral trauma. Methods The clinical data of 497 craniocerebral trauma patients admitted to our hospital from September 2017 to July 2018 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into groups with different 6 h lactate clearance rates and admission lactate levels, and the differences in mortality and outcome of neurological function in each group were compared. Results The serum admission lactate levels、serum lactate levels at 6 hours, 28-day mortality and 28-day poor nerve function prognosis rate of patients with different 6h lactate clearance rates were statistically significant differences(P < 0. 05). The efficacy of 6h lactic acid to predict the mortality rate of patients was better than that of admission lactic acid and 6h lactate clearance rate (Z=3.71、Z=3.95,P<0.05). However, in predicting the neurological function of patients, the lactate clearance rate is not better than blood lactate level at any time(Z=1.30，Z=0.81，P>0.05). Conclusion 6h lactic acid has the best ability to judge the mortality of patients while lactic acid clearance rate is not better than the blood lactate level at any time in predicting the neurological function of patients.

Cardiac arrest is the most critical condition for patients. Early identification of the cause of cardiac arrest and timely intervention on different causes are the key to treatment. Bedside ultrasound can simply, quickly, and effectively assess the cause of cardiac arrest, select the appropriate tracheal tube for the patient, confirm the position of the endotracheal tube, confirm the position of the endotracheal tube, and effectively evaluate the effect of mechanical ventilation and organ resuscitation after interventions. This article reviews bedside ultrasound in identifying the reversible causes of cardiac arrest, airway management, and evaluating organ function after resuscitation.

Objective A variety of miRNAs have been found to be involved in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer. This paper aim to investigate the clinical and biological relevance of miR-217 and the pathway by which miR-217 may be involved in progression in colorectal cancer. Methods According to the diameter of tumor, the tumor was divided into tumors>5 cm(n=22) and tumors≤5 cm(n=28); 18 cases of colorectal cancer I-II specimens and 32 of III-IV patients; according to median expression of miR-217, the specimens were divided into high expression group and low expression group. The expression of miR-217 in 50 colon cancer patients’ carcinoma and adjacent tissues was determined by qRT-PCR. Cells were grouped: overexpression control Group (transfected control mimic) and miR-217 overexpression group(transfected miR-217 mimic), low expression control group((transfected control inhibitor) and miR-217 low expression group(transfected miR-217 inhibitor), miR-217&ERK1/2 low expression group(transfected miR-217 inhibitor+U0126). MiR-217 and HCT116 cells were over expressed in SW480 cells,and miR-217 was knocked down. A series of biological function assays were performed to assess cell viability (cck-8 assay), clony formation ability (clony formation assay), proliferation (edu assay), Changes in ERK1/2 expression were measured at protein level, and the relationship between miR-217 and ERK1/2 in colorectal cancer cells was explored by relevant rescue experiments. Results Compared with colorectal adjacent noncancerous tissues, the expression of miR-217 was significantly decreased in carcinoma tissues(-1.360±0.645 vs 2.244±0.168, P<0.01); the expression of miR-217 in tumors with a diameter >5cm was significantly lower than that of tumors with a diameter ≤5cm(-1.718±0.272 vs -0.587±0.288, P<0.01); the expression of miR-217 in stage I-II colorectal cancer tissues was significantly higher than that stage III-IV(-0.413±0.330 vs -01.463±0.230, P<0.05); the expression of miR-217 in the miR-217 overexpression group was significantly higher than miR-217 overexpression control group(15.120±0.522 vs 1.004±0.003, P<0.01), and the number of clone formation was significantly less than that of the overexpression control group(199.30±15.62 vs 439.70±18.91, P<0.01) . In HCT116 cells, the expression of miR-217 in the miR-217low expression group was significantly lower than miR-217 low expression control group(0.2070±0.021 vs 1.006±0.003, P<0.01), and the number of clone formation was significantly higher than that control group(237.30±12.14 vs 117.00±7.00, P<0.01) . When miR-217 overexpressed in SW480, the protein expression of ERK1/2 decreased; when miR-217 was inhibited in HCT116, the protein expression of ERK1/2 increased. The number of colons in ERK1/2 low expression group was significantly lower than that miR-217&ERK1/2 low expression group(221.70±12.73 vs 108.00±5.51) , the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). Conclusion Low expression of miR-217 is observed in both colorectal cancer tissues and cells, and miR-217 can affect tumor cell proliferation in the progression of colorectal cancer partly by inhibiting the expression of ERK1/2.
