Objective To investigate the effect of melanoma associated antigen D1 (Mage-D1)on mouse femoral bone mass and mineralization ability of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal cells (BMSCs)and its potential molecular mechanism.Methods Female Mage-D1 gene knockout heterozygous mice and male wild-type (WT)mice were subjected as parent mice to breed Mage-D1 gene knockout homozygous (Mage-D1 KO)mice.PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis were used to identify male Mage-D1 knockout (Mage-D1 KO)mice and littermate male wild-type (WT)mice.Micro-CT scanning was performed to observe mouse femoral bone mass,and ELISA and chemical assay were employed to detect serum levels of calcium,phosphorus,calcitonin,and parathyroid hormone in mice.After primary cultured BMSCs were identified with flow cytometry,immunofluorescence staining was utilized to detect the expression of Mage-D1 in BMSCs.BMSCs were infected by Mage-D1 silencing lentivirus,and then the cells were divided into negative control group (sh-NC)and silencing group (sh-Mage-D1).Cell scratch assay was conducted to detect the migration ability of BMSCs,and flow cytometry and CCK-8 assay were conducted to detect the cycle change and proliferation ability of BMSCs.After mineralization induction,alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red staining were performed;RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to measure the expression levels of ALP,Runx2 and Col1.RT-qPCR was used to detect mineralization-related genes p75NTR and Msx1.Results Compared with the WT mice,the femoral cortical bone thickness,cortical bone mineral content,cancellous bone mineral content,trabecular number,and cancellous bone surface density were decreased,and trabecular separation was increased in the Mage-D1 knockout homozygous mice (P<0.05).There were no significant changes in the serum levels of calcium,phosphorus,calcitonin and parathyroid hormone in mice after Mage-D1 knockout.Mage-D1 was expressed in the whole BMSCs and was highly expressed in the nucleus and perinuclear regions.Compared with the sh-NC BMSCs,the sh-Mage-D1 group had decreased proliferation ability (P<0.01),enhanced migration ability (P<0.01),and decreased expression of ALP,Runx2 and Col1 genes (P<0.05)and protein (P<0.01)after mineralization induction,milder ALP and alizarin red stain,and lower expression levels of p75NTR and Msx1.Conclusion Mage-D1 knockout can significantly reduce femur bone mass in mice.It can promote the proliferation and inhibit migration of BMSCs,and positively regulate their mineralization in vitro,and the p75NTR-Dlx1/Msx1 signaling axis may be involved in the regulation of bone metabolism by Mage-D1.

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 correlation between subjective hearing impairment and cognitive function in the elderly in the community of Changzhou City.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 1 132 elderly people recruited from 4 communities in Changzhou City from August to October in 2023 were selected as the research objects. The social demographic and cognitive function were collected, cognitive function was assessed using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), while the connected test, replica cube, and clock draw in the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) were selected to assess visuospatial and executive function. The subjects were divided into the no-hearing impairment group (726 subjects) and hearing impairment group (406 subjects) according to the self-reported hearing impairment of the elderly. The basic data of the two groups and the differences in different cognitive domains were analyzed, and the correlation between subjective hearing impairment and cognitive function of the elderly in the community was analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:The incidence of cognitive impairment in the hearing impairment group was significantly higher than that in the no-hearing impairment group (20.2% vs 6.6%), the scores of location orientation, memory, attention and calculation, recall, language ability, clock draw, and the total score of MMSE, visuospatial and executive function in the hearing impairment group were all significantly lower than those in the normal hearing group [(4.76±0.78) vs (4.91±0.45) points, (2.79±0.59) vs (2.90±0.36) points, 4 (3, 5) vs 5 (4, 5) points, 2 (1, 3) vs 2 (2, 3) points, 8 (7, 9) vs 9 (8, 9) points, 2 (2, 3) vs 3 (2, 3) points, 27 (24, 29) vs 27 (26, 29) points, 3 (2, 3) vs 3 (2, 4) points] (all P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between subjective hearing impairment and cognitive function impairment in community-dwelling elderly ( OR=3.544, 95% CI: 2.410-5.213) ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence of cognitive impairment is higher in the community-dwelling elderly with subjective hearing impairment, and hearing impairment is a positive correlation factor of cognitive impairment.

An adult female patient of internal nuclear inclusion disease(NIID)with a major clinical manifestation of decreased intelligence and recurrent disturbance of consciousness was followed up for nearly 4 years.In particular,the evolution of the video-electroencephalogram(VEEG),the auxiliary diagnosis of VEEG,and the prediction value of VEEG for clinical outcome were summarized.We found that(1)the background rhythm in NIID patients evolved with the progression of the disease;(2)electroencephalogram reactivity could predict the outcome of NIID coma;(3)VEEG helped to determine whether the consciousness disturbance caused by NIID was due to non-convulsive status epilepticus,This case provides a new idea to explore the application of VEEG in NIID.

Autologous ozonized blood transfusion(AOBT) is a therapy of re-transfusion of 100-200 mL of autologous blood after shaking and agitation with appropriate amount of oxygen-ozone in vitro. The oxidation of blood through the strong oxidation of ozone can enhance the non-specific immune response of the body, regulate the internal environment and promote health. This therapy has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, while no unified standard for the operation process in terms of ozone concentration, treatment frequency and treatment course had been established. This operation process of AOBT is primarily explored in order to standardize the operation process and ensure its safety and efficacy.
