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 investigate the efficacy of our self-made distractor in assistance of percutaneous minimally invasive treatment of Sanders Ⅱ and Ⅲ calcaneal fractures.Method:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 51 patients with calcaneal fracture who had been treated from March 2020 to August 2022 at Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Changsha Central Hospital Affiliated to University of South China. There were 42 males and 9 females with an age of (44.6±10.2) years. All the 34 Sanders type Ⅱ fractures and 17 Sanders type Ⅲ fractures were isolated unilateral ones which were treated by percutaneous reduction and fixation with percutaneous screws assissted by our self-made calcaneal distractor. All patients were evaluated both clinically and radiologically. The interval from injury to surgery, surgery duration, hospitalization period, fracture union, complications, reduction of the posterior inferior articular surface, the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and visual analog scale (VAS) pain score were recorded. The length, width, height, B?hler angle, and Gissane angle of the calcaneus were measured and compared between pre-surgery and the last follow-up.Results:All patients in this cohort were followed up after uneventfull surgery for 21 (18, 24) months. The interval from injury to surgery was 0 (0, 1) d, the surgery duration 38 (35, 40) min, and the hospitalization period 4 (3, 4) d. All the surgical incisions healed smoothly without any wound-related complications. All fractures got united by the 12-week postoperative assessment with normal alignment of the posterior foot and no varus or valgus. One patient developed symptoms of sural nerve injury after surgery, and one patient experienced a screw rupture after surgery. Evaluation of the posterior subtalar articular surfaces revealed an anatomic reduction rate of 66.7% (34/51), a near-anatomical reduction rate of 33.3% (17/51), and no cases of approximate reduction or failure in articular surface reduction. The last follow-up found no loss of reduction. At the last follow-up, the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was 91.3 (87.0, 98.0) points, giving 32 excellent, 17 good, and 2 fair cases, resulting in an excellent and good rate of 96.1%, and the VAS pain score 0 (0, 1) point. At the last follow-up, the width [34.0 (32.6, 34.9) mm], height [49.6 (47.1, 50.4) mm], B?hler angle [35.8 (34.0, 37.8)°], and Gissane angle [129.0 (124.2, 135.6)°] of the calcaneus were all significantly improved compared with the preoperative values [(41.0±2.1) mm, 39.3 (37.9, 40.2) mm, -5.7 (-20.4, 4.6)°, 94.5 (80.4, 104.0)°] ( P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the length of the calcaneus between pre-surgery and post-surgery ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:In the percutaneous minimally invasive treatment of Sanders Ⅱ and Ⅲ calcaneal fractures, use of our self-made calcaneal distractor has demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes, making the surgery minimally invasive and efficient.

The finite difference time domain method is used to establish the ultra wide band(UWB)transmission system;the input impedance characteristics,transmission characteristics,and electric field distribution in the head wearable device model are analyzed to clarify the UWB transmission mechanism between the devices;and the path loss before and after the simplification of the human body model is compared.The results show that the proposed UWB transmission system has low path loss and stable transmission characteristics,which is of great significance for the development of body surface transmission technology for head wearable devices.

Novel coronavirus Omicron variant infection can cause severe illness and even death in certain populations. Omicron variant infection may lead to systemic inflammatory response, coagulation disorder, multi-organ dysfunction and other pathophysiological changes, which are different from other Novel coronavirus variants to a certain extent, so therapeutic strategies should not be the same. The National Medical Center for Major Public Health Events invited experts in fields of infectious diseases, respiratory medicine, intensive care, pediatrics and fever clinic to develop this quick guideline based on the current best evidence and extensive clinical practices. This quick guideline aims to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of novel coronavirus Omicron infection, and to improve the disease management abilities of clinicians.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Literature regarding the impacts of heavy metal exposure on erectile dysfunction (ED) is scarce. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between 10 urinary metals and ED in a large, nationally representative adult male sample. The dataset was extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during the period of 2001-2002 and 2003-2004. Weighted proportions and multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for confounding variables were utilized to determine the relationship between metal exposure and ED. Weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression was utilized to evaluate the impact of a mixture of urinary metals on ED. A total of 1328 participants were included in our study. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, cobalt (Co) and antimony (Sb) were positively associated with ED (odds ratio [OR]: 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-1.73, P = 0.020; and OR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.12-1.77, P = 0.018, respectively) after full adjustment. Men in tertile 4 for Co (OR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.02-2.41, P for trend = 0.012) and Sb (OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.08-2.40, P for trend = 0.041) had significantly higher odds of ED than those in tertile 1. Furthermore, the WQS index was significantly linked with increased odds of ED after full adjustment (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.04-1.72, P < 0.05). Our study expanded on previous literature indicating the possible role of heavy metal exposure in the etiology of ED. The evaluation of heavy metal exposure should be included in the risk assessment of ED.

Objective: Murine CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) products have been approved for the treatment of refractory/relapsed (R/R) B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) ; moreover, humanized products are also undergoing clinical trials. This study aimed to explore the differences in safety and short- and long-term follow-up efficacy between humanized and murine CD19 CAR-T-cells for treating relapsed and refractory B-ALL. Methods: Clinical data of 80 patients with R/R B-ALL treated with CD19-targeted CAR-T-cells at the Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology between May 2016 and March 2023 were analyzed, which included 31 patients with murine CAR-T and 49 with humanized products. Results: The proportion of patients with cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) in the murine and humanized groups was 63.1% and 65.3%, respectively. Moreover, a higher proportion of patients suffered from severe CRS in the murine group than in the humanized CAR-T group (19.4% vs 8.2%, P=0.174). Furthermore, one patient per group died of grade 5 CRS. The incidence of grade 1-2 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) was 12.9% and 6.1%, respectively; severe ICANS were not observed. Among patients receiving murine CAR-T-cells, an overall response (OR) was observed in 74.2%. Conversely, the OR rate of patients receiving humanized CAR-T-cells was 87.8%. During the median follow-up time of 10.5 months, the median recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients with murine CAR-T-cells was 12 months, which was as long as that of patients with humanized CAR-T-cells. The median overall survival (OS) were not reached in both groups. Of the 45 patients with a bone marrow burden over 20% at baseline, humanized CAR-T therapy was associated with a significantly improved RFS (43.25% vs 33.33%, P=0.027). Bridging transplantation was an independent factor in prolonging OS (χ(2)=8.017, P=0.005) and PFS (χ(2)=6.584, P=0.010). Common risk factors, such as age, high proportion of bone marrow blasts, and BCR-ABL fusion gene expression, had no significant effect on patients' long-term follow-up outcomes. Three patients reached complete remission after reinfusion of humanized CAR-T-cells. However, one patient relapsed one month after his second infusion of murine CAR-T-cells. Conclusions: The results indicate that humanized CAR-T therapy showed durable efficacy in patients with a higher tumor burden in the bone marrow without any influence on safety. Moreover, it could overcome immunogenicity-induced CAR-T resistance, providing treatment options for patients who were not treated successfully with CAR-T therapies.

Objective:To produce 161Tb from enriched 160Gd 2O 3 isotope-enriched target material and realize domestic production of the novel medical isotope 161Tb. Methods:The 160Gd 2O 3 isotope-enriched target material was irradiated with neutrons by the China Mianyang Research Reactor (CMRR). The no-carrier-added 161Tb product was obtained after the processes of target broken, sample dissolution, separation and purification with lanthanide (LN) resin and solution replacement with diglycolamide (DGA) column. Various key indicators such as γ spectral purity, metal impurity content, specific activity, radiochemical purity, and radioactive concentration were used to conduct the quality inspection and the control of 161Tb products. Results:161TbCl 3 of 33.4 GBq was obtained in a single time with the radioactive concentration of 16.8 GBq/ml, nuclear purity more than 99.9%, and radiochemical purity of 99.2%. Metal impurity content was met the established standards, with the specific activity of 6.02×10 17 Bq/mol. The radiochemical purities of 161Tb labeling with 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid- D-Phe1-Tyr3-Thr8-octreotide (DOTATATE) after 0 and 72 h were 100% and 95.8% respectively. Conclusion:The preparation of no-carrier-added 161Tb by using LN resin has the advantages of high separation performance and high sample loading, which has great significance in the field of medical isotope preparation and lays a good nuclide guarantee for the research and development of domestic 161Tb-labeled drugs.

Ischemic stroke is one of the main causes of death and long-term disability worldwide, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and brings a heavy economic burden to families and society. Epidemiological studies have shown that stroke has become the second leading cause of death and major disabling disease in the world, with the characteristics of high morbidity, high recurrence, and high mortality. Epigenetic mechanism is the molecular process where gene expression and function in each cell are dynamically regulated and interconnected and a biological mechanism that changes genetic performance without changing the DNA sequence, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA. However, the research on epigenetics is currently focused on other diseases such as tumors. Recent studies have found that epigenetics has received extensive attention in the past few decades as a key factor involved in the pathophysiological process of ischemic stroke. The present study introduced the mediation of epigenetics in the induction of stroke, summarized the potential drug targets for these mechanisms in the treatment of stroke, and further explored the significance of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) against cerebral ischemia injury based on TCM classification of stroke.
