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 summarize the clinical and prognostic features of children with opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome (OMAS).Methods:A total of 46 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of OMAS in the Department of Neurology, Beijing Children′s Hospital from June 2015 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Centralized online consultations or telephone visits were conducted between June and August 2023. The data of the children during hospitalization and follow-up were collected, including clinical manifestations, assistant examination, treatment and prognosis. According to the presence or absence of tumor, the patients were divided into two groups. The chi-square test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the differences between the two groups. Univariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors related to OMAS recurrence and prognosis. Results:There were 46 patients, with 25 males and the onset age of 1.5 (1.2, 2.4) years. Twenty-six (57%) patients were diagnosed with neuroblastoma during the course of the disease, and no patients were categorized into the high-risk group. A total of 36 patients (78%) were followed up for≥6 months, and all of them were treated with first-line therapy with glucocorticoids, gammaglobulin and (or) adrenocorticotrophic hormone. Among the 36 patients, 9 patients (25%) were treated with second-line therapy for ≥3 months, including rituximab or cyclophosphamide, and 17 patients (47%) received chemotherapy related to neuroblastoma. At the follow-up time of 4.2 (2.2, 5.5) years, 10 patients (28%) had relapsed of OMAS. The Mitchell and Pike OMS rating scale score at the final follow-up was 0.5 (0, 2.0). Seven patients (19%) were mildly cognitively behind their peers and 6 patients (17%) were severely behind. Only 1 patient had tumor recurrence during follow-up. The history of vaccination or infection before onset was more common in the non-tumor group than in the tumor group (55%(11/20) vs. 23%(6/26), χ2=4.95, P=0.026). Myoclonus occurred more frequently in the non-tumor group (40%(8/20) vs. 4%(1/26), χ2=7.23, P=0.007) as the onset symptom. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the tumor group had less recurrence ( OR=0.19 (0.04-0.93), P=0.041). The use of second-line therapy or chemotherapy within 6 months of the disease course had a better prognosis ( OR=11.64 (1.27-106.72), P=0.030). Conclusions:OMAS in children mostly starts in early childhood, and about half are combined with neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma in combination with OMAS usually has a low risk classification and good prognosis. When comparing patients with OMAS with and without tumors, the latter have a more common infection or vaccination triggers, and myoclonus, as the onset symptom, is more common. Early addition of second-line therapy is associated with better prognosis in OMAS.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the imaging features of enhanced MRI in patients with central chronic pulmonary artery thromboembolism (CPTE) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR).Methods:Thirty-nine patients with CPTE who had contrast-enhanced MRI examination were retrospectively enrolled this study from January 2018 to December 2020. And 33 patients who received right heart catheterization were divided into two groups based on PVR=1 000 dyn·s·cm -5. The differences of imaging features of CPTE in enhanced MRI between the two groups were compared. The relationship between gender, duration of disease, age, pleural thickening, bilateral bronchial artery dilation, number of the involved vascular segments, number of thrombosis, number of the thrombus-related delayed enhancement of artery wall and PVR was analyzed by binary logistic regression. Results:In 39 patients with central CPTE, the dilated lumen (168, 43.30%) and delayed enhancement of wall (122, 31.52%) were found in most of pulmonary arteries. The rate of the lumen dilatation associated with thrombus was the highest among that of the lumen abnormality (66, 52.80%). There were more thrombi in PVR<1 000 dyn·s·cm -5 group than those in PVR≥1 000 dyn·s·cm -5 group (χ 2=9.55, P=0.002). There was no significant difference in the incidence of wall delayed enhancement associated the thrombus between the two groups (χ 2=0.90, P=0.344). The incidence of bilateral bronchial arterial dilatation in PVR<1 000 dyn·s·cm -5 group was higher than that in PVR≥1 000 dyn·s·cm -5 group ( P=0.019). Logistic regression analysis showed that female, the less number of involved vascular segments and bilateral bronchial artery dilation were correlated with the lower PVR. Conclusions:Enhanced MRI is helpful to accurately evaluate the lumen abnormality of pulmonary artery and wall remodeling in central CPTE, which is of great value for the assessment of patients′ conditions and treatment effect.

Objective:To analyze the late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) manifestations, cardiac function, and myocardial strain by feature tracking (FT) in Takayasu arteritis (TA) with pulmonary artery involvement (PTA) using cardiac MR (CMR), and then to investigate manifestations of the impaired myocardial structure and function.Methods:A retrospective study was performed on 32 patients with PTA and 21 healthy subjects without cardiopulmonary diseases from January 2017 to December 2020. All of them underwent CMR examinations. According to the presence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH),PTA patients were divided into two groups including PAH group (11 cases) and non-PAH group (21 cases). LGE manifestations were observed and Fisher exact test was used for statistical analysis between the two groups. Cardiac function parameters and FT values including global peak strain of the left and right ventricle were calculated separately in PAH, non-PAH group of patients and healthy controls, using One-way ANOVA or non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test for statistical analysis including a pairwise comparison between groups. The correlations between FT values of the PAH group and parameters measured by right heart catheterization test (RHC) and transthoracic echocardiography were analyzed using Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis.Results:There were 23 PTA patients (71.9%) with LGE. LGE in the interventricular insertion points (IPs)(11/11), and in the mid-wall (11/11) or epicardial (10/11) myocardium was more common ( P values were 0.006,<0.001 and 0.011, respectively) in PAH group, compared with LGE in the IPs (11/21), and in the mid-wall (7/21) or epicardial (9/21) myocardium in non-PAH group. The absolute values of left ventricular global peak circumferential strain (LVGPCS), left ventricular global peak longitudinal strain (LVGPLS) and right ventricular global peak longitudinal strain in PAH group were smaller than those in healthy subjects ( P<0.05). The absolute values of LVGPCS and LVGPLS in non-PAH group were smaller than those in healthy subjects ( P<0.05). In PAH group, mean pulmonary artery pressure of RHC was correlated with several FT parameters ( P<0.05), especially left ventricular global peak radial strain ( r=-0.807, P=0.009) and LVGPCS ( r s=0.817, P=0.007). Conclusions:Myocardial injury can be seen in PTA patients. And LGE in the IPs and LGE in the mid-wall or epicardial myocardium is more common in PTA patients with PAH. LVGPCS and LVGPLS can early indicate left heart dysfunction in PTA patients without PAH.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinical features and gene analysis of one pedigree with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A （MEN2A） so as to clarify the diagnosis and classification of the disease， guide treatment and prevention， and improve prognosis. 【Methods】 The clinical data of a 36-member MEN2A family， including 6 probands， with medullary thyroid carcinoma， were investigated， and the peripheral blood genomic DNA of 28 family members （blood sample of one proband was not collected） was extracted. PCR amplification was performed on exons 8， 10， 11， 13， 14， 15 and 16 of the RET gene， and the products were directly sequenced. 【Results】 Review of the medical history showed that two probands with medullary thyroid carcinoma were accompanied with hyperparathyroidism， and one family member had pheochromocytoma. The RET gene mutation test confirmed that 13 family members， consisting of 5 probands and 8 family members， had the RET proto-oncogene exon 10 missense mutation. The heterozygous missense had mutation c.1852T>A， leading to the conversion of cysteine （TGC） at position 618 to serine （AGC） （Cys618Ser）. All subjects carrying RET gene Cys618Ser mutation had abnormal thyroid ultrasound change， accompanied with elevated calcitonin levels. Subjects carrying wild type of RET gene had normal calcitonin levels. The family was finally diagnosed with MEN2A by RET gene detection. 【Conclusion】 RET gene detection plays key role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with MEN2A family and has guiding value in the follow-up and prognosis of asymptomatic carriers. There is a positive correlation between calcitonin level and the RET protooncogene mutation Cys618Ser. Patients suspected of MEN2A should be screened in time.

Objective:To describe the baseline characteristics of the subjects enrolled in the China Quantitative CT (QCT) big data program in 2018—2019.Methods:Based on baseline data from the Chinese health big data project from January 2018 to December 2019 from the eligible enrolled population, measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) were performed using Mindways′ QCT Pro Model 4 system. The baseline data of age, gender, regional distribution, height, weight, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, blood routine and blood biochemical tests were analyzed. And the single factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to check the age related trend of BMD and VAT in both genders.Results:After screening the inclusion exclusion criteria and outliers of the main indicators, 86 113 people were enrolled in the project. The enrollment rate was 92.47%, including 35 431 (41.1%) women and 50 682 (58.9%) men, and the ratio of men to women was 1.43. The mean age was (50.3±12.7) years in all the subjects, and it was (50.2±12.8) years and (50.4±12.5) years in men and women, respectively, and there was no statistical difference between the two genders ( P>0.05). Total of 43 833 people were enrolled in east China, it was the largest group by region (50.90%), it was followed by central China (16 434 people, 19.08%), and the number of people enrolled in Northeast China was the lowest (2 914 people, 3.38%). The rate of completing of health information indicators related to the main outcome of the study were all above 70%, and there were significant differences between men and women (all P<0.05). The mean BMD was (139.33±46.76) mg/cm 3 in women, (135.90±36.48) mg/cm 3 in men, which showed a decreasing trend with age in both gender (both P<0.001); the mean intra-abdominal fat area was (116.39±56.23) cm 2 in women, (191.67±77.07) cm 2 in men, and there was an increasing trend with age in both men and women (both P<0.001). Conclusions:There are gender differences in BMD and VAT measured by QCT with different age tendency, and there are gender differences in health information index. Regional factors should also be taken into account for regional differences in the inclusion of data.

Objective:To use quantitative computed tomography (QCT) technology to measure the bone mineral density of the spine of the Chinese healthy population, and to explore its correlation with hemoglobin and serum albumin.Methods:The data in this study came from the China Health Quantitative CT Big Data Project (China Biobank). The spine bone density was measured by using QCT Pro Image Analysis System and all cooperating centers used the European spine phantom (NO.145) for quality control. Total of 50 053 healthy persons who met the criteria for entry were selected as the research subjects. The subjects were divided into 7 groups according to age. The general data, spine bone density, serum albumin, hemoglobin of the subjects were collected. The single-factor analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis and multi-classification logistic regression model were applied to analyze the correlation between bone density and hemoglobin and serum albumin.Results:The bone mineral density of healthy people decreased with age ( P<0.05), and there were significant differences in hemoglobin, serum albumin and body mass index (BMI) among different age groups (all P<0.05). Linear correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlation between bone mineral density and hemoglobin in healthy males in different age groups ( r=0.086, 0.101, 0.076, 0.090, 0.072, 0.123, 0.100, all P<0.01). There were negative correlation between bone mineral density and hemoglobin in certain age groups in women (40-49 years group: r=-0.027; 70-79 yearsgroup: r=-0.077; both P<0.05). And corelation were found between bone mineral density and serum levels of albumin in certain age groups of healthy subjects (among men, 30-39 years group: r=-0.048; 40-49 years group, r=-0.027; 70-79 years group, r=-0.051; among women, 30-39 years group: r=-0.044; 40-49 years group, r=-0.042; 50-59 years group, r=-0.086; 70-79 years group, r=-0.070; all P<0.05). After adjusting for age and BMI, the multi-category logistic regression analysis showed that the hemoglobin level was protective factor of normal bone density ( OR=1.022, 95% CI:1.017-1.027) and decreased bone density ( OR=1.012, 95% CI:1.007-1.016) in healthy males, and the serum albumin was risk factor for normal bone density ( OR=0.926, 95% CI:0.905-0.948) and decreased bone density ( OR=1.006, 95% CI:0.951-1.011) in healthy women. Conclusion:There is a correlation between bone mineral density and hemoglobin and serum albumin in Chinese healthy population. Hemoglobin is a protective factor for bone mineral density in men, and serum albumin is a risk factor for bone mineral densityin women.

Objective:To investigate the differential performance of ultrasound between fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) and venous malformations(VMs).Methods:From January 2015 to December 2020, the patients diagnosed with lower extremity FAVA by pathology in Henan Provincial People’s Hospital were enrolled as FAVA group. The patients diagnosed with lower extremity VMs by pathology were enrolled as the control group. The clinical and ultrasound imaging data were retrospectively analyzed. Through the single factor analysis of the two groups’data, the ultrasonic imaging indicators which may be valuable for distinguishing FAVA from VMs were screened. Further, the indicators valuable for differential diagnosis were determined by multi-factor Logistic regression analysis, and a multi-factor joint diagnosis model was constructed. The diagnostic efficiency of the joint diagnosis model was evaluated by the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve), sensitivity, and specificity of the subjects.Results:A total of 20 patients with FAVA were involved, including 11 males and 9 females. The mean age was (18.1±12.2) years. Forty-six patients with VMs were involved, including 20 males and 26 females. The mean age was (19.9±13.6) years. Results of the single-factor analysis were differences in the lesion echo, fascial tail, blood flow, extrusion test, and posterior echo enhance characteristics between groups ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed significant differences between groups in three aspects: fascial tail, extrusion test, and posterior echo enhancement ( P=0.001, 0.008, 0.007). The sensitivity and specificity of the multi-factor combined diagnosis model were 90.0% (95% CI: 68.3%-98.8%) and 93.5%(95% CI: 82.1%-98.6%), indicating high diagnostic efficiency. The ROC(AUC) area was 0.964(95% CI: 0.886-0.994), indicating high diagnostic efficiency. Conclusions:The ultrasonic imaging features of FAVA and VMs were different. The combined diagnosis of the fascial tail, compression test, and posterior echo enhancement has a higher auxiliary diagnostic value.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and imaging features of influenza associated encephalopathy(IAE) in children, thus contributing to enhance the efficacy of early identification, timely treatment and prognosis.Methods:Clinical data, laboratory examination, imaging data, treatment and outcomes of 40 children with IAE diagnosed and treated in the Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2016 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Clinical features were summarized and they were further classified according to clinical imaging features.The prognosis was compared and analyzed.Results:A total of 20 boys and 20 girls were recruited, with the age of attending hospital at (4.0±2.3) years (median, 3.2 years). There were 28 children with influenza A and 12 with influenza B. All children initially had fever, and the interval between fever and symptoms of neurological onset was 24 hours (0-120 hours). The most-common symptom of neurological onset was seizures(32 cases), among which 17 patients showed continuous seizures.All children presented encephalopathy at varying degrees, including 33 cases in coma and 7 in drowsiness or cognitive decline.Thirty cases developed central respiratory failure and received mechanical ventilation.Examination results showed 30 cases had elevated aspartate transaminase (AST), 18 cases had elevated alanine transaminase (ALT), 14 cases had elevated creatinine, 31 cases had elevated lactate dehydrogenase, 16 cases had elevated blood glucose and 1 case had significantly lowered blood glucose.Blood ammonia testing was performed in 38 children and 9 cases had elevated level.The whole exon sequencing in 6 cases showed de novo heterozygous mutation of the SCN1A gene in 1 case, and heterozygous mutation of the ATP1A2 gene inherited from the mother in another case.Lumbar puncture was performed in 35 cases, and all of them had a normal range of cerebrospinal fluid leukocyte counts, while 12 cases had elevated cerebrospinal fluid proteins.Abnormal image findings were examined in 33 cases and the acute necrotizing encephalopathy was the most common one (14 cases). All children received Peramivir or Oseltamivir after admission.A total of 28 cases were treated with glucocorticoids, and 29 cases were treated with immunoglobulin.Seventeen cases died, 9 cases had disability at varying degrees, and 14 cases recovered to the baseline.Patients were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group.(1) Patients in good prognosis group presented significantly shorter interval between fever and first neurological symptoms[(22.7±12.2) h vs.(38.6± 30.9) h], higher Glasgow score on admission[(7.6±2.5) points vs.(4.5 ± 1.6) points], lower ALT [15.6 (9.0-1 631.5) U/L vs.140.2 (12.3-3 232.4) U/L] and lower AST [47.6 (25.4-1 721.3) U/L vs.251.8 (21.7-4 991.6) U/L] than those in poor prognosis group (all P<0.05). (2) Glucocorticoids were applied to 17 and 11 cases in good prognosis group and poor prognosis group, while immunoglobulins were applied to 17 and 12 cases, respectively ( P>0.05). (3) Patients were further classified into cytokine storm group, excitotoxicity group and unclassifiable group according to clinical imaging findings.The Glasgow score [ (4.6±1.7) points vs.(7.6±2.2) point vs.(7.3±2.8) points] and median modified Rankin Scale score (6.0 points vs.1.5 points vs.0) were significantly different among 3 groups (all P<0.01). Conclusions:Influenza associated encephalopathy is common in infants and young children.Fever, convulsions and rapidly progressing disturbance of consciousness are the most common clinical manifestations.Acute necrotizing encephalopathy is the most common subtype of clinical imaging syndrome.Acute onset and rapid progression predict the poor prognosis of influenza associated encephalopathy.
