Platelets have long been recognized as key players in hemostasis and thrombosis; however, there is growing evidence that they are also involved in cancer. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that platelets can promote tumorigenesis and metastasis through various crosstalks between platelets and cancer cells. Platelets play an active role in all stages of tumorigenesis, including tumor growth, tumor cell extravasation, and metastasis. In addition, thrombocytosis in cancer patients is associated with poor patient survival. Platelets are also well-placed to coordinate local and distant tumor-host interactions due to the a- bundance of microparticles and exosomes. Therefore, antitumor drugs targeting platelets have great development and application prospects. The following will review the research progress of anti-tumor drugs targeting platelets.
2.Progress in research on health literate schools
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(3):448-451
Abstract
Health literate schools (HeLit-Schools) play a significant role in fostering students health literacy. The paper elucidates the background and conceptual connotations of HeLit-Schools, and analyzes how HeLit-Schools effectively integrate and enhance the health literacy of schools in three aspects: philosophy and core drivers, strategy and method implementation, as well as evaluation mechanisms and standard setting. Furthermore, the paper explores the implications of foreign HeLit-Schools research and practice for China under the context of "Healthy China" construction, as well as the key strategies for Chinese schools in the implementation of HeLit-Schools, aiming to provide a new perspective and theoretical support for Chinese schools to practice the "Healthy China initiative" and strengthen school construction from the perspective of health literacy.

Objective:
To investigate the immune reconstitution of HIV/AIDS patients and its influencing factors after receiving antiviral therapy (ART) in Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into improving the treatment effects and quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort of HIV/AIDS patients who began antiviral treatment between January 1, 2016 and August 31, 2021 and had a baseline CD4+T lymphocyte (CD4) counts of less than 500 cells/μL or a baseline CD4/CD8+T lymphocyte (CD8) ratio of less than 0.8 in Hangzhou City was followed up until August 31, 2023. Demographic information, antiviral therapy in formation, CD4 counts, and CD4/CD8 were collected from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. A good immune reconstitution was defined as having CD4≥500 cells/μL and CD4/CD8≥0.8. The immune reconstitution status of HIV/AIDS patients were analyzed, and factors affecting immune reconstitution were identified using a multivariable Cox proportional risk regression model.
Results:
A total of 3 349 HIV/AIDS patients were enrolled, with a median age at ART of 31 (interquartile range, 20) years. There were 3 075 males (91.82%), 1 600 cases with college education and above (47.78%) and 2 455 cases at WHO clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ(73.31%). There were 1 368 cases with good immune reconstitution, accounting for 40.85%, and the proportion of HIV/AIDS patients with good immune reconstitution that began ART in 2016 was the highest, reaching 51.90%. Multivariable Cox proportional risk regression model identified WHO clinical stage (Ⅰ-Ⅱ, HR=2.529, 95%CI: 2.023-3.162), timely ART (HR=1.196, 95%CI: 1.027-1.394), initial treatment regimen (TDF+3TC+NVP/EFV, HR=2.185, 95%CI: 1.891-2.524; integrase inhibitors, HR=8.509, 95%CI: 6.706-10.795), baseline CD4/CD8 (≥0.1, HR: 1.600-4.515, 95%CI: 1.061-6.661), baseline hemoglobin (<90 mg/dL, HR=0.327, 95%CI: 0.121-0.880), hepatitis B infection (HR=0.619, 95%CI: 0.457-0.840) and hepatitis C infection (HR=0.308, 95%CI: 0.099-0.956) as factors affecting immune reconstitution in HIV/AIDS patients.
Conclusion
The immune reconstitution in HIV/AIDS patients after ART is associated with WHO clinical stage, timely ART, initial treatment regimen, baseline CD4/CD8, baseline hemoglobin and hepatitis B or C infection.

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.
