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: This study used cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to compare the characteristics of left ventricular remodeling in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) with those of patients with essential hypertension (EH) and healthy controls (HCs). Materials and Methods: This prospective study enrolled 35 patients with PA, in addition to 35 age- and sex-matched patients with EH, and 35 age- and sex-matched HCs, all of whom underwent comprehensive clinical and cardiac MRI examinations. The analysis of variance was used to detect the differences in the characteristics of left ventricular remodeling among the three groups. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were used to determine the relationships between left ventricular remodeling and the physiological variables. Results: The left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (EDVi) (mean ± standard deviation [SD]: 85.1 ± 13.0 mL/m2 for PA, 75.9 ± 14.3 mL/m2 for EH, and 77.3 ± 12.8 mL/m2 for HC; p = 0.010), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (ESVi) (mean ± SD: 35.2 ± 9.8 mL/m2 for PA, 30.7 ± 8.1 mL/m2 for EH, and 29.5 ± 7.0 mL/m2 for HC; p = 0.013), left ventricular mass index (mean ± SD: 65.8 ± 16.5 g/m2 for PA, 56.9 ± 12.1 g/m2 for EH, and 44.1 ± 8.9 g/m2 for HC; p < 0.001), and native T1 (mean ± SD: 1224 ± 39 ms for PA, 1201 ± 47 ms for EH, and 1200 ± 44 ms for HC; p = 0.041) values were higher in the PA group compared to the EH and HC groups. Multivariable linear regression demonstrated that log (plasma aldosteroneto-renin ratio) was independently correlated with EDVi and ESVi. Plasma aldosterone was independently correlated with native T1. Conclusion Patients with PA showed a greater degree of ventricular hypertrophy and enlargement, as well as myocardial fibrosis, compared to those with EH. Cardiac MRI T1 mapping can detect left ventricular myocardial fibrosis in patients with PA.

Objective To examine the effect of the integrated schistosomiasis control measures in Hunan Province from 2004 to 2019, so as to provide insights into the development of the schistosomiasis elimination strategy. Methods The integrated schistosomiasis control measures implemented by the health, agriculture, water resources, forestry, land and resources sectors were retrospectively collected in Hunan Province from 2004 to 2019, and the completion of each measure, cost of control measures, Schistosoma japonicum infections in humans and bovines, and snail status were analyzed each year. An index system for assessing the integrated schistosomiasis control effect was constructed using the Delphi method to calculate the integrated schistosomiasis control effect index. In addition, a cost-effect analysis was performed in terms of the decline in the prevalence of S. japonicum infections in humans and bovines, areas with snails in inner embankments, and areas with infected snails. Results A total of 7 110 926 500 Yuan were invested into the integrated schistosomiasis control program of Hunan Province from 2004 to 2019. During the 16-year period, a total of 277 437.12 hm² snail habitats received molluscicidal treatments, 6 927 230 person-times given expanded chemotherapy, 2 116 247 bovine-times given expanded chemotherapy, 954 850 harmless toilets built, 290 359 bovines fenced, 136 666 bovines eliminated, 141 905 machines used to replace bovines, 39 048.63 hm² water lands improved as dry lands, 724.12 km irrigation regions improved, 3 994 300 populations covered with safe water, 191 102.89 hm² forests planted and 38 535.27 hm² lands leveled. The prevalence of S. japonicum infections was 4.29% in humans and 4.48% in bovines in Hunan Province in 2004, with 2 449.37 hm² snail habitats in inner embankments and 3 423.74 hm² infected snail areas. In 2019, the prevalence of S. japonicum infections reduced to 0 in both humans and bovines, and areas of snail habitats reduced to 540.92 hm² (77.92% reductions), while the areas with infected snails reduced to 0. The overall integrated schistosomiasis control effect index appeared a tendency towards a rise over years since 2004, and the integrated schistosomiasis control effect index was 97.35 in 2019; the annual mean costs for a 1% reduction in the prevalence of S. japonicum infections in 100 populations and 100 bovines were 70.11 Yuan and 4 204.78 Yuan, and the annual mean costs for a 1% reduction in the snail areas in inner embankments and infected snail areas were 2 010.20 Yuan and 1 298.09 Yuan, respectively. Conclusions The integrated control measures achieve remarkable effectiveness for schistosomiasis control in Hunan Province, with a remarkable decline in the prevalence of S. japonicum infections in humans and bovines and great shrinking of snail areas in inner embankments and infected snail areas. Adequate fund investment is required to improve the integrated schistosomiasis control measures and consolidate the control achievements.

Due to the complex anatomical structure of ankle and the various mechanisms of ankle injury, manyeponyms and systematic classifications of ankle fracture have been developed in the past centuries. Before the emergence and constant improvement of classifications of ankle fracture, ankle fractures were most commonly named afterthe physicians who first described them. Now,these ankle fracture eponyms are still found in medical literature, textbooks and even mass media. Many special named ankle fractures can be explained by the Lauge-Hansen classification now, and they may have little practical use. However, it is still necessary to summarize and review these ankle fracture eponyms, in order to correct the wrong usage of these and to remember the sages in this field.We reviewed both common and less frequently used ankle fracture eponyms, focusing on imaging features to identify and differentiate these injuries. We also briefly reviewed the mechanism of each injury, associated complications, its diagnosis and treatment.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the outcome of radical surgery combined with adjuvant radiotherapy for patients aged over 75 years with stage II( or III( rectal cancer.

METHODSFrom 2000 to 2010, 178 patients aged over 75 years at diagnosis who underwent radical surgery in National Cancer Center, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, were selected from 3995 patients with stage II( or III( rectal cancer in the database of the above center and enrolled into this retrospective cohort study, which was approved by ethics committee of the above hospital (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02312284).

RESULTSMedian age of patients was 77 years (range 75-87). There were 37 (20.8%), 69 (38.8%), and 72 (40.4%) patients with tumors locating in the high, middle and low rectum respectively; 89(50%) patients of pathological stages II( and III( respectively; 21(11.8%), 137(77%), 19(10.7%), and 1(0.6%) patients with poorly, moderately, well differentiated adenocarcinoma, and mucinous adenocarcinoma respectively. The Charlson/Deyo comorbidity index (CCI) score was 0 in the majority (73.6%) of patients. Fifty-three patients underwent abdominoperineal resection, 116 underwent low anterior resection and 9 underwent Hartmann resection. All the patients received computed tomography-based simulation and treatment planning using an anal marker in a prone or supine position. Patients were treated with linear accelerator by megavoltage photons (6MV), with 2D technique in early years and 3D conformal or simplified intensity-modulated radiotherapy technique later, at a dose of 50 Gy in 25 fractions to the pelvis within an overall treatment time of 35 days. Sixty-one patients (34.3%) received surgery combined with radiation (ART group), in whom 16 received radiation alone 117 patients did not receive radiation(NORT group). The baseline data between ART and NORT group were not significantly different(all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in 5-year overall survival between ART and NORT groups (61.0% vs. 63.0%, P=0.586). The cumulative local relapse was 10.9% and 25.4% in ART and NORT group respectively (P=0.032). Cox multivariate analysis revealed that surgery combined with radiation improved local control significantly(HR=0.27, 95%CI:0.11-0.68, P=0.005).

CONCLUSIONSFor elderly patients aged over 75 years with stage II( or III( rectal cancer, radical surgery combined with radiation does not increase the overall survival, but can improve local control rate. It is reasonable to selectively apply adjuvant radiotherapy to the elderly patients in the setting of radical surgery.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,bleeding profile and safety of low-dose levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS 8) in Chinese healthy women of childbearing age.Methods A multi-center,open-label,single-arm clinical trial conducted at 16 centres in China enrolled 773 healthy women of childbearing age (mean age 31.6 years old,range 18 to 40 years old),who demanded contraception,from April 2006 to June 2013.All women placed LNG-IUS 8 for 3 years and then been followed up at 3,6,9,12,18,24,30,36 months.The efficacy variables including pregnancy rate and expulsion rate were analyzed using life table,while observing adverse events (AE) to evaluate the safety.The bleeding profile happened during the study was assessed using 90-day reference intervals (World Health Organization criteria).Results Eight pregnancies occurred among 773 women,resulting in a overall Pearl index of 0.42 per 100 women years.The 3-year cumulative pregnancy rate was 0.37 per 100 women years and the 3-year cumulative expulsion rate was 1.99 per 100 women years.The number of women with bleeding/spotting reduced and the bleeding/spotting days declined over time.Totally 219 AE were reported related to LNG-IUS 8 placements.The most common AE were vaginal bleeding (8.2％,63/773)and the ovarian cyst (6.2％,52/773).LNG-IUS 8 had an improving effect on dysmenorrhea that the percentage of women with dysmenorrhea as well as the days of dysmenorrhea decreased over time.The percentage of women satisfied or very satisfied with LNG-IUS 8 was 87.2％ (622/713).Conclusion LNG-IUS 8 is highly effective and safe for Chinese healthy women of childbearing age.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of lung equivalent uniform dose (LEUD)-based predictive model for radiation pneumonitis (RP) induced by volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and to determine the optimal a value.Methods A total of 65 patients with primary lung cancer who received VMAT from July 2015 to February 2016 were divided into RP group and non-RP group according to the presence or absence of RP after radiotherapy.Their dose-volume histogram (DVH) data and other data were obtained and analyzed by the self-compiled numerical analysis program.The LEUD values in the two groups were calculated at a=[-50, 50], and then the a value was identified when the relative difference of LEUD between the two groups was maximal.The paired t test was used for analyzing the differences in V5, V20, V30, minimum lethal dose (MLD), and LEUD (aoptimal) between the two groups.A Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation of Vdose and LEUD (aoptimal) with RP.The logistic regression method was used to establish the predictive model of RP.Results The maximum relative difference in LEUD between RP group and non-RP group was obtained at a=0.3(627.94 cGy vs.510.23 cGy, relative difference[R]=23.07%).R decreased slowly at t=[-50,-5], increased sharply at t=[-5, 0], and reached the maximum value at a=0.3.After a rapid decrease at a=[0.3, 4], R decreased slowly at a=[4, 50].The correlation analysis of the traditional physical volume dose threshold also showed that the LEUD (at a=0.3) was correlated with V5, V10, V20, and MLD (r=0.929, P<0.05).Conclusions For patients receiving VMAT for thoracic cancer, LEUD (at a=0.3) can distinguish between patients with and without RP.Therefore, LEUD is recommended to be<510 cGy.A combination of LEUD and conventional physical dose has a good clinical predictive value for RP under non-uniform irradiation.
