		                        			OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of total alkaloids of Corydalis Rhizoma (TAC) on the regulation of cuproptosis in rats with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) based on silence information regulator 1(Sirt1)/tumor protein 53(P53)signaling pathway. METHODS DCM rat model was induced by high-fat and high-sugar diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Thirty-two model rats were randomly divided into model group, TAC low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (7, 10.5, 14 mg/kg), with 8 rats in each group. An additional 8 rats were assigned to normal control group. Related drugs or normal saline were administered intragastrically in each group, once a day, for 4 weeks. After the last medication, the fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels of the rats were measured. The levels of myocardial creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum and myocardial tissue of rats were all detected. The pathological morphology, fibrosis degree, and Cu2+ deposition of myocardial tissue in rats were observed. The levels of Cu2+ and glutathione (GSH) in myocardial tissue, the expressions of Sirt1/P53 signaling pathway-related proteins [Sirt1, P53, solute carrier family 7 membrane 11 (SLC7A11)], and iron-sulfur cluster-related proteins [ferredoxin 1 (FDX1), lipoic acid synthetase (LIAS), aconitase 2 (ACO2), NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S8 (NDUFS8), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (DLAT), dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase (DLST)], and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) were all determined. RESULTS Compared with normal control group, the model group exhibited significantly elevated levels of FBG, CK, CK-MB and LDH in both serum and myocardial tissue, as well as increased 2+ levels of Cu in myocardial tissue and the expression of P53 and HSP70 proteins (P<0.05); the level of GSH and the expression levels of Sirt1, SLC7A11, FDX1, LIAS, ACO2, NDUFS8, DLAT, and DLST proteins in myocardial tissue were all significantly decreased (P<0.05); the myocardial tissue exhibited severe pathological damage, with numerous inflammatory cell infiltrations and significant fibrosis, as well as increased deposition of Cu2+. Compared with model group, most of the above quantitative indicators in rats were significantly reversed in TAC groups (P<0.05); the pathological damage to the myocardial tissue was alleviated, with reduced fibrosis and Cu2+ deposition. CONCLUSIONS TAC can ameliorate DCM in rats, and its mechanism of action may be related to activating the activity of the Sirt1/P53 signaling pathway, promoting the chelation of GSH with Cu2+, and inhibiting cuproptosis of cardiomyocyte.

		                        			 Aim To investigate the effect of colchicine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) and its related mechanisms. Methods The EndMT model was established by treating HUVECs with LPS. Cell proliferation rate was detected by CCK-8 assay, cytotoxicity was detected by LDH assay, and the optimal drug concentration was screened. The cells were divided into the normal control group, the normal control + colchicine (10 nmol • L) group, the LPS (10 mg • L) model group, and the LPS + colchicine (10 nmol • L) group. The morphologic changes of the cells were observed under an inverted microscope, the cell migration ability was detected by Transwell assay, and the ability of tube formation was analyzed by tube formation assay. The expression of endothelial markers (CD31/ VE-cadherin) and mesenchymal cell markers (a-SMA/FSP-1) were detected by Western blot. NF-KB inhibitor was used to detect the changes in related signaling pathways. Results CCK-8 and LDH experiments showed that 10 nmol • L colchicine was the optimal concentration. LPS could induce morphological changes in HUVECs, and colchicine could reverse morphological changes in HUVECs to a certain extent. Transwell experiment showed that the migration ability of HUVECs in the LPS treatment group was significantly enhanced (P < 0. 05), and colchicine could significantly reverse this phenomenon (P < 0. 05) . Tube formation experiment showed that LPS decreased the endothelial tube formation ability of HUVECs (P < 0. 05), while colchicine treatment markedly improved LPS-induced tube formation defects (P < 0. 05) . Western blot assay showed that after colchicine co-cultured with LPS, the expression levels of CD31 and VE-cadherin significantly increased compared with the model group (P < 0. 05), while the expression levels of a-SMA and FSP-1 significantly decreased compared with the model group (P < 0. 05) . During the induction of EndMT by LPS, colchicine could inhibit the activation of the NF-KB/Snail signaling pathway. Conclusions Colchicine can effectively inhibit EndMT induced by LPS, and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of the NF-KB/Snail signaling pathway.

		                        			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 evaluate the safety and efficacy of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) in the perioperative period of congenital choledochal cysts in children.Methods:This is a multicenter prospective randomized controlled study. The clinical data of 273 pediatric congenital choledochal cysts(CCC) patients who underwent surgery at 14 medical centers with complete follow-up data were collected through the medical data analysis platform. Among them, 123 cases in ERAS group were managed perioperatively in strict accordance with ERAS mode, and 150 cases in conventional group were managed according to traditional mode. The length of hospital stay,time to first farting, time to complete feeding, the incidence of complications, cost and readmission rate within 30 days,stress indexes and liver function were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with the conventional group, median time to start farting (2.0 d vs. 3.0 d, P<0.001), median time to complete feeding (5.0 d vs. 7.0 d, P<0.001), median postoperative hospitalization time (6.0 d vs. 9.0 d, P<0.001),the median total length of stay(13.0 d vs. 15.0 d, P<0.001) were shorter,the median hospitalization cost (37,000 yuan vs.43,000 yuan P<0.001) was lower, and stress indexes recovered quickly. The incidence of postoperative hospital stay and readimission rate within 30 d were not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to implement ERAS for children with CCC in the perioperative period, which can reduce stress response, speed up recovery,and save medical costs.

		                        			We wished to establish an expert consensus on late stage of critical care (CC) management. The panel comprised 13 experts in CC medicine. Each statement was assessed based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) principle. Then, the Delphi method was adopted by 17 experts to reassess the following 28 statements. (1) ESCAPE has evolved from a strategy of delirium management to a strategy of late stage of CC management. (2) The new version of ESCAPE is a strategy for optimizing treatment and comprehensive care of critically ill patients (CIPs) after the rescue period, including early mobilization, early rehabilitation, nutritional support, sleep management, mental assessment, cognitive-function training, emotional support, and optimizing sedation and analgesia. (3) Disease assessment to determine the starting point of early mobilization, early rehabilitation, and early enteral nutrition. (4) Early mobilization has synergistic effects upon the recovery of organ function. (5) Early functional exercise and rehabilitation are important means to promote CIP recovery, and gives them a sense of future prospects. (6) Timely start of enteral nutrition is conducive to early mobilization and early rehabilitation. (7) The spontaneous breathing test should be started as soon as possible, and a weaning plan should be selected step-by-step. (8) The waking process of CIPs should be realized in a planned and purposeful way. (9) Establishment of a sleep-wake rhythm is the key to sleep management in post-CC management. (10) The spontaneous awakening trial, spontaneous breathing trial, and sleep management should be carried out together. (11) The depth of sedation should be adjusted dynamically in the late stage of CC period. (12) Standardized sedation assessment is the premise of rational sedation. (13) Appropriate sedative drugs should be selected according to the objectives of sedation and drug characteristics. (14) A goal-directed minimization strategy for sedation should be implemented. (15) The principle of analgesia must be mastered first. (16) Subjective assessment is preferred for analgesia assessment. (17) Opioid-based analgesic strategies should be selected step-by-step according to the characteristics of different drugs. (18) There must be rational use of non-opioid analgesics and non-drug-based analgesic measures. (19) Pay attention to evaluation of the psychological status of CIPs. (20) Cognitive function in CIPs cannot be ignored. (21) Delirium management should be based on non-drug-based measures and rational use of drugs. (22) Reset treatment can be considered for severe delirium. (23) Psychological assessment should be conducted as early as possible to screen-out high-risk groups with post-traumatic stress disorder. (24) Emotional support, flexible visiting, and environment management are important components of humanistic management in the intensive care unit (ICU). (25) Emotional support from medical teams and families should be promoted through"ICU diaries"and other forms. (26) Environmental management should be carried out by enriching environmental content, limiting environmental interference, and optimizing the environmental atmosphere. (27) Reasonable promotion of flexible visitation should be done on the basis of prevention of nosocomial infection. (28) ESCAPE is an excellent project for late stage of CC management.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of newly-treated patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).Methods:Clinical data of 117 newly-treated PCNSL patients who were admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University, the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, and Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College from August 2009 to February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients' age, sex, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) physical status (PS) score, pathological type, involvement of deep brain tissue, number of lesions, cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration, International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group (IELSG) score, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) score, treatment strategy, and response after the first-line therapy were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models to identify the independent influencing factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of PCNSL patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.Results:In 117 newly-treated PCNSL patients, 59 cases (50.4%) presented with increased intracranial pressure or focal neurological symptoms at diagnosis; there were 65 cases (55.6%) with single lesions and 52 cases (44.4%) with multiple lesions; 1 patient (0.9%) had lymphoma of T-cell origin, and 116 cases (99.1%) had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Among 95 evaluable patients, 41 patients (43.2%) achieved complete remission (CR), 20 patients (21.1%) achieved partial remission (PR), 16 patients (16.8%) achieved stable disease (SD), and 18 patients (18.9%) had progressive disease (PD). In 117 patients with median follow-up of 66.0 months (95% CI 57.9-74.1 months), the median PFS and OS were 17.4 months (95% CI 11.5-23.3 months) and 45.6 months (95% CI 20.1-71.1 months), respectively. The 2-, 3- and 5-year PFS rates were 41.2%, 28.6% and 19.3%, and OS rates were 63.7%, 52.4% and 46.3%, respectively. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline high-risk MSKCC score group was an adverse prognostic factor for PFS ( P = 0.037), and the first-line chemotherapy with ≥4 cycles of high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX), HDMTX in combination with rituximab, ≥4 cycles of rituximab in combination with HDMTX, and achieving CR or ≥PR after the first-line treatment reduced the risk of disease progression and prolonged the PFS time (all P <0.01); age >60 years old, ECOG-PS score of 2-4 points, elevated cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration, high-risk IELSG score, and high-risk MSKCC score were adverse prognostic factors for OS, and ≥4 cycles of HDMTX and achieving CR or ≥PR after the first-line treatment were favorable factors for OS. Multivariate Cox regression analysis verified that rituximab in combination with HDMTX (yes vs. no: HR = 0.349, 95% CI 0.133-0.912, P = 0.032) and achieving ≥PR after the first-line chemotherapy (yes vs. no: HR = 0.028, 95% CI 0.004-0.195, P < 0.001) were independent favorable factors for PFS; age >60 years old (>60 years old vs. ≤60 years old: HR = 10.878, 95% CI 1.807-65.488, P = 0.009) was independent unfavorable factor for OS, while ≥4 cycles of HDMTX treatment (≥4 cycles vs. <4 cycles: HR = 0.225, 95% CI 0.053-0.947, P = 0.042) was independent favorable factor for OS. Conclusions:The older the PCNSL patients at initial treatment, the worse the prognosis. Intensive and continuous treatment for achieving deeper remission may be the key for improving the outcome of PCNSL patients.

		                        			Objective To investigate the effect of total alkaloids of Rhizoma Corydalis(TAC)on the expression of silencing information regulator 1(Sirt1)/tumor suppressor P53 protein signaling pathway-related proteins in the hippocampus of rats with chronic cerebral ischemia(CCH),and to explore its mechanism.Methods The rats were randomly divided into Sham operation group,model group,TAC high-dose group(14 mg/kg)and TAC low-dose group(7 mg/kg),with 6 rats in each group.A modified bilateral common carotid artery permanent occlusion method(BCCAO)was used to establish a rat model of CCH,and only bilateral common carotid arteries were separated in the Sham group.After the modeling was completed,each group was given the corresponding drug or isotonic saline by gavage,once a day,and the treatment lasted for 14 days.Hematoxycin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the hippocampus of rats,in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridinetriphate-biotin nick end labeling assay(TUNEL)was used to detect neuronal apoptosis,and Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect expression of Sirt1,P53,P53 positive apoptosis regulator(PUMA),B-cell lymphocytoma-2(Bcl-2)protein,Bcl-2-related X protein(BAX),respectively in the hippocampus of rats.Results(1)There were significant differences in the number of apoptotic cells and apoptosis rate among the four groups(F-values were 71.417 and 76.835,respectively,both P<0.01).There were statistically significant differences in the mean integral optical density values of Sirt1,P53,PUMA,BAX and Bcl-2 protein positive expression areas among the four groups(F-values were 1 178.390,42.465,867.413,110.656 and 131.801,all P<0.01).There were significant differences in the relative expression levels of Sirt1,P53,PUMA,BAX and Bcl-2 among the four groups(F-values were 9.497,11.863,58.552,186.855 and 12.466,all P<0.01).(2)Compared with the Sham operation group,the neuronal arrangement of brain tissue in the hippocampus of the model group was disordered,the nuclear consolidation increased,and the glial cells and inflammatory cells increased significantly,and the number and apoptosis rate of neurons in the hippocampus of the model group increased significantly(respectively[10.8±1.5]cells vs.[2.0±0.9]cells and[35.5±4.5]%vs.[6.2±2.6]%;both P<0.05),and the average integral optical density values of the positive expression areas of Sirt1 and Bcl-2 proteins decreased significantly(84.6±6.6 vs.244.6±4.9,138.5±6.7 vs.210.9±10.0;both P<0.05),the average integral optical density values of P53,PUMA and BAX proteins were significantly increased(156.8±11.6 vs.93.5±11.6,151.3±3.3 vs.38.0±4.0,87.0±5.0 vs.38.4±5.5;all P<0.05),the relative expression levels of Sirt1 and Bcl-2 proteins were significantly decreased(0.51±0.07 vs.0.74±0.07,0.36±0.03 vs.0.53±0.05;both P<0.05),and the relative expression levels of P53,PUMA and BAX proteins were significantly increased(0.37±0.06 vs.0.21±0.02,0.62±0.06 vs.0.23±0.02,1.08±0.06 vs.0.45±0.03;all P<0.05).(3)Compared with the model group,the hippocampal tissue structure of the high-dose and low-dose TAC groups was relatively compact and uniform,the neurons were neatly arranged,and the cell structure was relatively clear and complete,while the number of neuronal apoptotic cells and the apoptosis rate decreased significantly(respectively[3.8±0.7]cells vs.[6.2±1.2]cells,[12.4±2.8]%vs.[20.2±3.9]%;both P<0.05),and the average integrated optical density values of the positive expression areas of Sirt1 and Bcl-2 proteins(the high-dose and low-dose TAC groups:Sirt1 150.0±4.8,131.3±1.3,and Bcl-2 207.1±7.4,169.5±3.9,respectively)were significantly increased(both P<0.05),the average integral optical density values of P53,PUMA and BAX proteins were significantly decreased(the high-dose and low-dose TAC groups:P53 105.9±8.8,115.5±9.0,and PUMA56.8±5.1,74.4±3.9,and BAX40.5±5.6,48.4±5.0,respectively,all P<0.05),the relative expression levels of Bcl-2 protein(the high-dose and low-dose TAC groups:0.53±0.05,0.47±0.02,respectively)were significantly increased(P<0.05),the relative expression levels of P53(the high-dose and low-dose TAC groups:0.21±0.02,0.24±0.04,respectively),PUMA(the high-dose and low-dose TAC groups:0.36±0.02,0.28±0.04,respectively)and BAX proteins(the high-dose and low-dose TAC groups:0.52±0.02,0.54±0.03,respectively)were significantly decreased(all P<0.05),the relative expression level of Sirt1 protein in the TAC high-dose group was significantly decreased(0.71±0.05,P<0.05),and the relative expression level of Sirt1 protein in the TAC low-dose group was not statistically significant(0.52±0.08,P>0.05).Conclusion TAC can alleviate neuronal damage and reduce the apoptosis rate of neurons in the hippocampus of CCH rats,and the mechanism may be related to the activation of Sirt1/P53 pathway,inhibition of P53 protein activity,and thus the expression level of apoptosis-related proteins in the downstream of TAC.
