Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

ObjectiveBola-like short peptides exhibit novel self-assembly properties due to the formation of peptide dimers via hydrogen bonding interactions between their C-terminals. In this configuration, hydrophilic amino acids are distributed at both terminals, making these peptides behave similarly to Bola peptides. The electrostatic repulsive interactions arising from the hydrophilic amino acids at each terminal can be neutralized, thereby greatly promoting the lateral association of β-sheets. Consequently, assemblies with significantly larger widths are typically the dominant nanostructures for Bola-like peptides. To investigate the effect of hydrophilic amino acids on the self-assembly behavior of Bola-like peptides, the peptides Ac-RI₃-CONH₂ and Ac-HI₃-CONH₂ were designed and synthesized using the Bola-like peptide Ac-KI₃-CONH₂ as a template. Their self-assembly behavior was systematically examined. MethodsAtomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to characterize the morphology and size of the assemblies. The secondary structures of the assemblies were analyzed using circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) was used to obtain detailed structural information at a short-length scale. Based on these experimental results, the effects of hydrophilic amino acids on the self-assembly behavior of Bola-like short peptides were systematically analyzed, and the underlying formation mechanism was explored. ResultsThe aggregation process primarily involved three steps. First, peptide dimers were formed through hydrogen bonding interactions between their C-terminals. Within these dimers, the hydrophilic amino acids K, R, and H were positioned at both terminals, enabling the peptides to self-assemble in a manner similar to Bola peptides. Next, β-sheets were formed via hydrogen bonding interactions along the peptide backbone. Finally, self-assemblies were generated through the lateral association of β-sheets. The results demonstrated that both Ac-KI₃-CONH₂ and Ac-RI₃-CONH₂ could self-assemble into double-layer nanotubes with diameters of approximately 200 nm. These nanotubes were formed by the edge fusion of helical ribbons, which initially emerged from twisted ribbons. Notably, the primary assemblies of these peptides exhibited opposite chirality: nanofibers formed by Ac-KI₃-CONH₂ displayed left-handed chirality, whereas those formed by Ac-RI₃-CONH₂ exhibited right-handed chirality. This reversal in torsional direction was primarily attributed to the different abilities of K and R to form hydrogen bonds with water. In contrast, Ac-HI₃-CONH₂ formed narrower twisted ribbons with a significantly reduced width of approximately 30 nm, which was attributed to the strong steric hindrance caused by the imidazole rings. The multilayer height of these ribbons was mainly due to the unique structure of the imidazole rings, which can function as both hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, thereby promoting aggregate growth in the vertical direction. ConclusionThe final morphology of the self-assemblies resulted from a delicate balance of various non-covalent interactions. By altering the types of hydrophilic amino acid residues in Bola-like short peptides, the relative strength of non-covalent interactions that drive assembly formation can be effectively regulated, allowing precise control over the morphology and chirality of the assemblies. This study provides a simple and effective approach for constructing diverse self-assemblies and lays a theoretical foundation for the development of functional biomaterials.

Objective: To investigate the association between habitual reading/writing postures and the co-occurrence of common health conditions (overweight/obesity, visual impairment, hypertension, and scoliosis) and comorbidities among children and adolescents, in order to provide data support for the joint prevention of common diseases and comorbidities among children and adolescents. Methods: From September 2021 to June 2022, a multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used to select a total of 4 577 children and adolescents from 16 primary and secondary schools in Ningxia: Jinfeng District of Yinchuan City, Shapotou District of Zhongwei City, Yanchi County of Wuzhong City, and Pingluo County of Shizuishan City. A weighted complex sampling design was used to investigate the association of habitual reading and writing postures with common comorbidities in children and adolescents. Results: The prevalence rates of common diseases among children and adolescents in Ningxia were as follows: overweight/obesity was 22.87%, visual impairment was 62.52%, scoliosis was 2.30%, and hypertension was 1.30%. The prevalence of multimorbidity (co-occurrence of ≥2 conditions) among Ningxia children and adolescents was 15.95%. Multivariate unconditional Logistic regression analysis showed that frequent/always collapsing waist and sitting forward with head lowered increased the risk of common comorbidities in children and adolescents ( OR =1.90, P <0.05). Compared with the corresponding reference group, male children and adolescents aged 9 to 12 years and boys had relatively lower risks of overweight/obesity ( OR =0.71, 0.70); the risk of poor vision among children and adolescents aged 9 to 12 years, male, and urban was relatively low ( OR =0.59, 0.60, 0.73)( P < 0.05 ). Children and adolescents who often/always sat leaning to the left or right were at higher risk of poor vision ( OR =1.78); urban children and adolescents had a higher risk of developing scoliosis ( OR =3.71); children and adolescents aged 9 to 12 had a relatively low risk of developing hypertension ( OR =0.09), and children and adolescents who often/always bent their backs and sat forward on their knees had a higher risk of hypertension ( OR =5.03)( P <0.05). Conclusions Ningxia has a high incidence of common diseases and multiple diseases among children and adolescents, frequent or always collapsing waist and sitting forward with head lowered is associated with common comorbidities in children and adolescents in Ningxia. Proper postural measures for reading and writing should be carried out as soon as possible to encourage children and adolescents to develop good reading and writing habits for effectively preventing and controlling the occurrence of common diseases.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of splenectomy with distal pancreatectomy during cytoreductive surgery in epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC).Methods A total of 17 patients from Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University and the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China(Anhui Provincial Hospital)received splenectomy with distal pancreatectomy during cytoreductive surgery in EOC were recruited.Their clinicopathological characteristics,postoperative complications and survival situation were retrospective analyzed.Results Of the 17 patients,there were 13 primary cases and 4 recurrent cases.Eleven cases(64.7%)had preoperative imaging finding with metastatic lesions in the splenic hilum,among whom 6 cases had distal pancreas metastasis during the operation.The drainage was placed in the splenic fossa for the measurement of amylase levels in drain fluid and was removed after 8(3-12)days.There were 4 patients had postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF)of grade A,3 patients had POPF of grade B and no POPF of grade C occurred.The 2 patients with POPF of grade B improved after percutaneous drainage,and the rest recovered with somatostatin,antibiotic drugs and medicines without perioperative mortality.The interval between surgery to chemotherapy was 17.5(13-37)days.The median follow-up time was 14(4-64)months and the median progression-free survival was 10(5-32)months.Conclusion Splenectomy with distal pancreatectomy as part of cytoreduction surgery in EOC is needed for optimal resection,and the complication of pancreatic fistula could be managed conservatively.

Protein as the allergens could lead to allergy. In addition, a widespread class of allergens were known as glycans of N-glycoprotein. N-glycoprotein contained oligosaccharide linked by covalent bonds with protein. Recently,studies implicated that allergy was associated with glycans of heterologous N-glycoprotein found in food, inhalants, insect toxins, etc. The N-glycan structure of N-glycoprotein allergen has exerted an influence on the binding between allergens and IgE, while the recognition and presentation of allergens by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) were also affected. Some researches showed thatN-glycan structure of allergen was remodeled by N-glycosidase, such as cFase I, gpcXylase, as binding of allergen and IgE partly decreased. Thus, allergic problems caused by N-glycoproteins could potentially be solved by modifying or altering the structure ofN-glycoprotein allergens, addressing the root of the issue. Mechanism of N-glycans associated allergy could also be elaborated through glycosylation enzymes, alterations of host glycosylation. This article hopes to provide a separate insight for glycoimmunology perspective, and an alternative strategy for clinical prevention or therapy of allergic diseases.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic effects of different inhaled medications on patients with frequent cough in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including changes in symptoms and acute exacerbation.Methods:This study was based on the RealDTC study, and the study subjects were stable COPD patients from the Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from December 2016 to March 2023. The demographic characteristics, smoking status, history of biofuel exposure, history of acute exacerbation in the past year, lung function, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score, modified British Medical Research Council Respiratory Difficulty Questionnaire (mMRC) score, and inhalation medication regimen of the patients were collected. Patients with frequent cough are defined as having a cough score of ≥2 in the first item of the CAT score. According to the type of inhaled medication, patients with frequent cough are divided into l long-acting muscarine anticholinergic (LAMA), long-acting β2 agonists (LABA)+ LAMA, inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)+ LABA, and ICS+ LABA+ LAMA groups. At the 6th month follow-up, CAT scores were collected and symptom control was evaluated, including minimum clinical improvement (MCID) (defined as a decrease of ≥2 points from baseline in CAT scores at the 6th month) and improvement in cough symptoms (defined as a decrease of ≥1 point from baseline in cough scores). During a one-year follow-up, the number of acute exacerbations was evaluated. The relationship between different inhaled medications and prognosis in patients with frequent cough in COPD was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 653 patients with frequent cough in COPD were included, with a CAT score of (16.4±6.1) and a cough score of 3(2, 3). After 6 months of follow-up, 403 patients (61.7%) achieved MCID, and 394 patients (60.3%) had improved cough symptoms; During a one-year follow-up, 227 patients (34.8%) experienced acute exacerbation. After receiving inhalation medication treatment, the CAT scores and cough scores of four groups of patients with frequent cough, namely LAMA, LABA+ LAMA, ICS+ LABA, and ICS+ LABA+ LAMA, decreased compared to before treatment (all P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of △CAT score, MCID, and acute exacerbation among the four groups of LAMA, LABA+ LAMA, ICS+ LABA, and ICS+ LABA+ LAMA (all P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of △cough score and cough score reduction ≥1 point (all P>0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with patients treated with LAMA or ICS+ LABA drugs, patients with frequent cough in COPD treated with LABA+ LAMA or ICS+ LABA+ LAMA drugs were more likely to achieve MCID and less likely to experience acute exacerbation (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with LAMA or ICS+ LABA, patients with frequent cough in COPD who receive LABA+ LAMA or ICS+ LABA+ LAMA drug treatment are more likely to improve symptoms and have a lower risk of acute exacerbation.

Objective:To analyze the prognostic factors of children with septic shock in the pediatric intensive care unit.Methods:The clinical data of children diagnosed with septic shock in the pediatric intensive care unit of Guiyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from April 2018 to April 2022 were retrospectively collected,and the children were divided into the death group and the survival group according to seven days regression.The basic data of the two groups were statistically compared，and the relationship between lactic acid，vasoactive-inotropic score one hour after admission，time of antibiotic initiation，serum potassium，serum sodium，serum calcium，serum troponin T，fluid resuscitation volume in the first hour，glutamyl aminotransferase，creatinine，total leukocyte count，C-reaction protein，brain natriuretic peptide were compared.The risk factors affecting the death of children were analyzed by Logistic regression.The relationship between fluid resuscitation volume in the first hour and prognosis was analyzed using the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:（1）A total of 67 children were included，19 died and 48 survived.（2）The first-hour liquid resuscitation dose in the survival group was lower than that in the death group，and the difference was statistically significant（ P<0.05）.（3）The ROC curve showed that the optimal cut-off of the first-hour liquid resuscitation dose was 25 mL/kg，with a sensitivity of 57.9% and a specificity of 72.9%.（4）In unifactorial analysis，lactic acid in the first hour of admission，early lactic acid after resuscitation，serum calcium，serum troponin T，alanine aminotransferase，combined septic encephalopathy，Glasgow coma score，and pediatric critical illness score were all risk factors for death in children within seven days（ P<0.05）.(5) Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum calcium（ OR=1.435， P=0.001）and lactic acid value after resuscitation（ OR=0.040， P=0.021）were independent risk factors for death in septic shock. Conclusion:The higher the total fluid resuscitation in the first hour，the higher the fatality rate.Serum calcium and early lactic acid after resuscitation are independent risk factors for death in children within seven days.

Jumonji domain-containing protein D3(JMJD3)is a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase that specif-ically removes transcriptional repression marks di-and tri-methylated groups from lysine 27 on histone 3(H3K27me2/3).The erasure of these marks leads to the activation of some associated genes,thereby influencing various biological processes,such as development,differentiation,and immune response.However,comprehensive descriptions regarding the relationship between JMJD3 and inflammation are lacking.Here,we provide a comprehensive overview of JMJD3,including its structure,functions,and involvement in inflammatory pathways.In addition,we summarize the evidence supporting JMJD3's role in several inflammatory diseases,as well as the potential therapeutic applications of JMJD3 inhibitors.Additionally,we also discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with investigating the functions of JMJD3 and developing targeted inhibitors and propose feasible solutions to provide valuable insights into the functional exploration and discovery of potential drugs targeting JMJD3 for inflammatory diseases.
