Objective:To investigate clinical curative effect of multiple composite tissues replantation with microsurgical technique in single hand.Methods:From May 2008 to December 2021, the clinical data of patients who underwent multiple composite tissue replantation in single hand in Chongming Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences and Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, Wenzhou Medical University, were retrospectively analyzed. According to the severed site, anatomical level, the injury cause, the severity of injury, the size of severed tissue, and replantation conditions (such as blood vessels for anastomosis), the severed tissue was evaluated and carried out modified classification (type Ⅰ-Ⅳ) before the operation, and the surgical plan was designed. The severed composite tissue was debrided in emergency, the severed bone and muscle tissue were fixed, and the arteries, veins and nerves were anastomosed by microsurgical technique under a high-power microscope. The ratio of arteries to veins was 1∶1-1∶2. If enough arteries and veins could not be found, arteriovenous shunt could be used to form arterial venous flap or venous arterialized flap, or form artery flap by just artery anastomosis, or form venous flap by just vein anastomosis. Then skin tissue was sutured after recanalization. After the operation, the patients received specialized treatment and guided rehabilitation exercise. The wound healing of hand, skin color, skin quality, swelling degree, sensation, pain degree of joint, and activity function were followed up after the operation. At the last follow-up, the patient’s self-evaluation of the treatment effect was divided into three levels: satisfactory, average, and unsatisfactory. One chief physician and one doctor-in-charge were responsible for the comprehensive evaluation of curative effect, according to the assessment standard for upper limb function issued by Chinese Medical Association of Hand Surgery. 80-100 points were excellent, 60-79 points were good, 40-59 points were fair, and <40 points were poor.Results:A total of 94 severed composite tissues in 35 patients, including of 20 male patients and 15 female patients were enrolled. The average age was 36.4 years (range, 16-65 years). Fifty severed tissues in 18 cases were classified into type Ⅰ, 40 severed tissues in 15 cases type Ⅱ, 4 severed tissues in 2 cases type Ⅲ. Among the 35 cases, 1 case of thumb pulp severed tissue was necrotic at the edge (0.3 cm×0.5 cm) due to local contusion, 1 case of index finger lateral severed tissue was necrotic at the edge (0.3 cm×0.8 cm) due to local avulsion injury, and healed after dressing change, and the other replanted composite tissue survived. The patients were followed up for 3 to 65 months (average, 18.5 months). The wounds were completely healed, and the color, elasticity, and quality of the replanted tissue was close to the surrounding normal skin. There was no obvious swelling or atrophy deformity of the hands. According to the patients’ self-assessment, 31 cases were satisfied and 4 cases were average. Comprehensive evaluation of hand function and appearance: excellent in 23 cases, good in 9 cases, fair in 3 cases, excellent and good rate was about 91.4% (32/35).Conclusion:Though multiple composite tissues replantation with microsurgical technique in single hand is difficult, and vascular anastomosis technical requirement is high, once surgery succeeds, the function and appearance can get good recovery, and patient satisfaction is also relatively high.

To promote the construction of a wound repair and regeneration system with Chinese characteristics, it is necessary to follow the principle of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and integrate theory, clinical practice, and teaching. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic concept and the principle of dialectical treatment, while Western medicine focuses on etiological analysis and local treatment. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine can complement each other's advantages and improve treatment effectiveness. The key technological innovations in repairing and regenerating systems cover areas such as drug therapy, physical therapy, and the application of biomaterials. This article discusses the development potential and challenges of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the field of wound repair and regeneration, providing new ideas and methods for the development of wound repair and regeneration. It is expected to bring better medical services and treatment effects to patients undergoing repair and regeneration.

As a unique gene in the genome,FLASH(FADD-like interleukin-1β-converting enzyme asso-ciated huge protein)/CASP8AP2 is involved in multiple cellular processes,including apoptosis,histone gene pre-mRNA processing,transcriptional regulation,and cell cycle progression.Clinical studies have shown that FLASH is a valuable prognostic marker for acute lymphoblastic leukemia,and a crucial factor for the survival of various cancer cells.Therefore,in-depth research into the function of FLASH may offer new perspectives for the treatment of related diseases.Our previous research identified FLASH as a bind-ing partner of p53,demonstrating that FLASH enhances the transcriptional activity of p53.Here we fur-ther investigate the molecular mechanisms of the interaction between FLASH and p53,revealing that the p53-K386R mutation(SUMOylation residue)attenuated its interaction with FLASH(aa 51-200)and FLASH-SIM(SUMO-interacting motif)(aa 1 534-1 806)significantly.However,SUMO can bind to FLASH-SIM directly,instead of FLASH(aa 51-200).Subsequent research shows that overexpression of FLASH in cells enhances global SUMO1 conjugation and p53-SUMO1 conjugation,therefore providing a plausible explanation for the underlying mechanism of FLASH enhancing the transcriptional activity of p53.Since promyelocytic leukemia protein nuclear body(PML NB)serves as subcellular reactors for SUMO conjugation within the cell,and the PML Ⅳ isoform can specifically enhance the SUMO modifica-tion of p53,we have investigated the interaction between FLASH and PML Ⅳ,and elucidated the struc-tural basis of their interaction:both FLASH-N3A(501-802)and FLASH-C2(1 807-1 981)bind to PML Ⅳ(aa 228-633).Further investigations reveal that they can synergistically enhance global SUMO1 modification as well as SUMO1 modification of p53.The interaction between FLASH and tumor suppres-sors p53 or PML Ⅳ enriches our understanding of its function and reveals the potential mechanism of FLASH in tumor development,therefore offering novel insights into cancer diagnosis and treatment.

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.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the value of transrectal shear-wave elastography (SWE) in combination with multivariable tools for predicting adverse pathological features before radical prostatectomy (RP). Preoperative clinicopathological variables, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) manifestations, and the maximum elastic value of the prostate (Emax) on SWE were retrospectively collected. The accuracy of SWE for predicting adverse pathological features was evaluated based on postoperative pathology, and parameters with statistical significance were selected. The diagnostic performance of various models, including preoperative clinicopathological variables (model 1), preoperative clinicopathological variables + mp-MRI (model 2), and preoperative clinicopathological variables + mp-MRI + SWE (model 3), was evaluated with area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) analysis. Emax was significantly higher in prostate cancer with extracapsular extension (ECE) or seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) with both P < 0.001. The optimal cutoff Emax values for ECE and SVI were 60.45 kPa and 81.55 kPa, respectively. Inclusion of mp-MRI and SWE improved discrimination by clinical models for ECE (model 2 vs model 1, P = 0.031; model 3 vs model 1, P = 0.002; model 3 vs model 2, P = 0.018) and SVI (model 2 vs model 1, P = 0.147; model 3 vs model 1, P = 0.037; model 3 vs model 2, P = 0.134). SWE is valuable for identifying patients at high risk of adverse pathology.
