		                        			Objective:
		                        			To explore the association between lifestyle and fat mass index (FMI) in different positions of children and adolescents aged 7-18, so as to provide a scientific basis for health promotion in children and adolescents.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			A total of 1 531 students aged 7-18 was selected by intentional sampling from 4 schools in Tongzhou District, Beijing from September to December in 2020 and August in 2022. Questionnaire survey was used to collect lifestyle including dietary behavior, moderate to vigorous physical activity, smoke and drink behaviors, sleep time and sleep quality. Dual energy Xray absorptiometry was employed to assess fat mass, and calculated total, android, trunk, hip, gynoid and leg fat mass index (FMI). The ttest and Chisquare test were used to compare the differences of different lifestyle. Logistic regression was used to analysis association between lifestyle and body composition in different positions.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			Compared with healthy lifestyle, unhealthy lifestyle had higher risk for hightrunk FMI (OR=1.40, P<0.05). After adjusted for sex and age, unhealthy lifestyle had higher risk for hightotal FMI, highandroid FMI, hightrunk FMI (OR=1.37, 1.37, 1.50, P<0.05), compared with healthy lifestyle. Stratified analysis found the associations between unhealthy lifestyle and hightotal FMI, highandroid FMI, hightrunk FMI, and highthigh FMI were only significant in girls with 7-12 years old (OR=2.13, 2.46, 2.13, 2.13, P<0.05).
		                        		
		                        			Conclusions
		                        			Unhealthy lifestyle is associated with hightotal FMI, highandroid FMI and hightrunk FMI. A healthy lifestyle should be maintained during puberty, especially before puberty, to help children and adolescents reduce body fat and promote a balanced distribution of body composition.

		                        			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.

		                        			Background::Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and diameter, stiffness, and wave reflections, are independent and important clinical biomarkers and risk predictors for cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the present study was to establish nationwide reference values of carotid properties for healthy Chinese adults and to explore potential clinical determinants.Methods::A total of 3053 healthy Han Chinese adults (1922 women) aged 18-79 years were enrolled at 28 collaborating tertiary centers throughout China between April 2021 and July 2022. The real-time tracking of common carotid artery walls was achieved by the radio frequency (RF) ultrasound system. The IMT, diameter, compliance coefficient, β stiffness, local pulse wave velocity (PWV), local systolic blood pressure, augmented pressure (AP), and augmentation index (AIx) were then automatically measured and reported. Data were stratified by age groups and sex. The relationships between age and carotid property parameters were analyzed by Jonckheere-Terpstra test and simple linear regressions. The major clinical determinants of carotid properties were identified by Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and analyses of covariance.Results::All the parameters of carotid properties demonstrated significantly age-related trajectories. Women showed thinner IMT, smaller carotid diameter, larger AP, and AIx than men. The β stiffness and PWV were significantly higher in men than women before forties, but the differences reversed after that. The increase rate of carotid IMT (5.5 μm/year in women and 5.8 μm/year in men) and diameter (0.03 mm/year in both men and women) were similar between men and women. For the stiffness and wave reflections, women showed significantly larger age-related variations than men as demonstrated by steeper regression slopes (all P for age by sex interaction <0.05). The blood pressures, body mass index (BMI), and triglyceride levels were identified as major clinical determinants of carotid properties with adjustment of age and sex. Conclusions::The age- and sex-specific reference values of carotid properties measured by RF ultrasound for healthy Chinese adults were established. The blood pressures, BMI, and triglyceride levels should be considered for clinical application of corresponding reference values.

		                        			Objective:To evaluate the prognostic values of parameters from hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) after static cold storage (SCS) on short-term outcomes of kidney transplantation.Method:From February 2023 to October 2023, the authors retrospectively reviewed the clinical and HMP data of recipients undergoing adult deceased donor kidney transplantation at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University. HMP resistance and renal arterial anatomical variants were utilized for subgroup analysis. The primary endpoints were delayed graft function (DGF) and whether or not creatine level normalized. The secondary endpoints were the lowest creatine level within 1 month post-kidney transplantation, reduction extent of creatinine level, duration for creatine level to decline to the lowest and duration for creatinine normalization. Single and multiple variable analyses were utilized for examining the correlation between HMP parameters and short-term postoperative outcomes.Result:A total of 157 recipients were included for analysis. Mean serum creatinine level was (870.0±283.9) μmol/L and mean trough creatinine level within 1 month postoperatively (118.5±63.5) μmol/L. Sixteen recipients (10.2%) had delayed graft function (DGF) and creatinine failed to normalize in 10 receipients (6.4%). Average time for creatinine to decline to the lowest level within 1 month was (14.5±7.6) d (3~30 d) and average time for creatinine to normalize (6.4±5.8) d (1~30 d). Multiple variable regression analysis revealed that terminal resistant index was independently correlated with multiple events, including DGF ( P<0.01), whether or not creatinine level normalized within 1 month ( P=0.001), reduction extent of creatinine level ( P<0.01) and duration for creatinine normalization ( P=0.024) . Conclusion:Parameters of HMP after SCS are capable of predicting the short-term outcomes of kidney transplantation. Terminal resistant index is an independent risk factor for several prognostic events.

		                        			OBJECTIVE:
		                        			To evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of metoprolol standard dosing pathway (MSDP) in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
		                        		
		                        			METHODS:
		                        			In this multicenter, prospective, open label, single-arm and interventional study that was conducted from February 2018 to April 2019 in fifteen Chinese hospitals. A total of 998 hospitalized patients aged ≥ 18 years and diagnosed with ACS were included. The MSDP was applied to all eligible ACS patients based on the standard treatment recommended by international guidelines. The primary endpoint was the percentage of patients achieving the target dose at discharge (V2). The secondary endpoints included the heart rate and blood pressure at V2 and four weeks after discharge (V4), and percentage of patients experiencing bradycardia (heart rate < 50 beats/min), hypotension (blood pressure < 90/60 mmHg) and transient cardiac dysfunction at V2 and V4.
		                        		
		                        			RESULTS:
		                        			Of the 998 patients, 29.46% of patients achieved the target dose (≥ 95 mg/d) at V2. The total population was divided into two groups: target group (patients achieving the target dose at V2) and non-target group (patients not achieving the target dose at V2). There was significant difference in the reduction of heart rate from baseline to discharge in the two groups (-4.97 ± 11.90 beats/min vs. -2.70 ± 9.47 beats/min, P = 0.034). There was no significant difference in the proportion of bradycardia that occurred in the two groups at V2 (0 vs. 0, P = 1.000) and V4 (0.81% vs. 0.33%, P = 0.715). There was no significant difference in the proportion of hypotension between the two groups at V2 (0.004% vs. 0.004%, P = 1.000) and V4 (0 vs. 0.005%, P = 0.560). No transient cardiac dysfunction occurred in two groups during the study. A total of five adverse events (1.70%) and one serious adverse event (0.34%) were related to the pathway in target group.
		                        		
		                        			CONCLUSIONS
		                        			In Chinese ACS patients, the feasibility and tolerability of the MSDP have been proved to be acceptable.
