Background::With an increasing proportion of multiparas, proper interpregnancy intervals (IPIs) are urgently needed. However, the association between IPIs and adverse perinatal outcomes has always been debated. This study aimed to explore the association between IPIs and adverse outcomes in different fertility policy periods and for different previous gestational ages.Methods::We used individual data from China’s National Maternal Near Miss Surveillance System between 2014 and 2019. Multivariable Poisson models with restricted cubic splines were used. Each adverse outcome was analyzed separately in the overall model and stratified models. The stratified models included different categories of fertility policy periods (2014–2015, 2016–2017, and 2018–2019) and infant gestational age in previous pregnancy (<28 weeks, 28–36 weeks, and ≥37 weeks).Results::There were 781,731 pregnancies enrolled in this study. A short IPI (≤6 months) was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR [95% CI]: 1.63 [1.55, 1.71] for vaginal delivery [VD] and 1.10 [1.03, 1.19] for cesarean section [CS]), low Apgar scores and small for gestational age (SGA), and a decreased risk of diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and gestational hypertension. A long IPI (≥60 months) was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR [95% CI]: 1.18 [1.11, 1.26] for VD and 1.39 [1.32, 1.47] for CS), placenta previa, postpartum hemorrhage, diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and gestational hypertension. Fertility policy changes had little effect on the association of IPIs and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The estimated risk of preterm birth, low Apgar scores, SGA, diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, and gestational hypertension was more profound among women with previous term births than among those with preterm births or pregnancy loss.Conclusion::For pregnant women with shorter or longer IPIs, more targeted health care measures during pregnancy should be formulated according to infant gestational age in previous pregnancy.

Objective To explore the antimicrobial resistance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)isolated from blood and the related risk factors for infection in patients.Methods Clinical data of 383 KP-infected patients from whose blood Klebsiella pneumoniae(KP)were isolated during hospitalization period in a hos-pital from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into CRKP group(n=114)and non-CRKP group(n=269)based on antimicrobial resistance.According to the prognosis,114 patients in the CRKP group were subdivided into the death group(n=30)and the survival group(n=84).General informa-tion,underlying diseases,antimicrobial use,and infection outcomes of two groups of patients were compared,and risk factors for infection and death after infection were analyzed.Results The resistance rates of KP to tigecycline and compound sulfamethoxazole showed upward trends,with statistically significant differences(both P=0.008).The CRKP group had higher resistance rates to amikacin,aztreonam,compound sulfamethoxazole,ciprofloxacin,cefepime,cefoperazone/sulbactam,piperacillin/tazobactam,tigecycline,ceftazidime,tobramycin,and levofloxacin,as well as higher in-hospital mortality than the non-CRKP group,with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05).Acute pancreatitis prior to infection(OR=16.564,P＜0.001),hypoalbuminemia(OR=8.588,P＜0.001),stay in in-tensive care unit prior to infection(OR=2.733,P=0.017),blood transfusion(OR=3.968,P=0.001),broncho-scopy(OR=5.194,P=0.014),surgery within 30 days prior to infection(OR=2.603,P=0.010),and treatment with carbapenems(OR=2.663,P=0.011)were independent risk factors for the development of CRKP blood-stream infection(BSI).Cardiac insufficiency before infection(OR=11.094,P=0.001),combined with pulmonary infection(OR=20.801,P=0.010),septic shock(OR=9.783,P=0.002),disturbance of consciousness(OR=11.648,P=0.001),and receiving glucocorticoid treatment(OR=5.333,P=0.018)were independent risk factors for mortality in patients with CRKP BSI.Conclusion The resistance rate of KP from BSI to tigecycline and com-pound sulfamethoxazole presents upward trend.Underlying diseases,invasive procedures,and carbapenem treat-ment are closely related to CRKP BSI.Cardiac insufficiency,pulmonary infection,septic shock,disturbance of con-sciousness,and glucocorticoid treatment can lead to death of patients with CRKP BSI.

Objective To analyze the metabolomics characteristics of chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)patients with liver-stomach qi stagnation and spleen-stomach weakness syndromes based on non-targeted metabolomics technology,and to identify the serum differentiated metabolites related to traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome of CAG patients,so as to provide a reference for the objectification of syndrome differentiation.Methods Sixty patients with CAG were included,including 30 cases of liver-stomach qi stagnation syndrome and 30 cases of spleen-stomach weakness syndrome.Fasting blood of 5 mL was collected from the cubital vein of patients in the two groups,and the serum levels of metabolites were detected by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS)methods.The principal component analysis(PCA),orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA),and cluster analysis were used to screen the differentiated metabolites of CAG patients with liver-stomach qi stagnation syndrome and spleen-stomach weakness syndrome.Finally,metabolite pathway analysis was performed for the obtained differentiated metabolites using the KEGG database.Results The results for the screening of differentiated metabolites showed that significant differences of amino acid derivatives and small peptide metabolites were presented between CAG patients with liver-stomach qi stagnation syndrome and CAG patients with spleen-stomach weakness syndrome.The amino acid derivatives consisted of N-acetylglycine,histamine,O-phosphoserine,selenomethylselenocysteine,and methyl-tyrosine.And the small peptide metabolites consisted of tyrosine-leucine-phenylalanine,histidine-alanine-glutamate-lysine,L-asparagine-L-proline-L-serine,and L-isoleucine-L-isoleucine.Conclusion Differences in amino acid metabolism exist between CAG patients with liver-stomach qi stagnation syndrome and those with spleen-stomach weakness syndrome,and metabolites such as N-acetylglycine,intermethyltyrosine,and O-phosphoserine may be the potential biomarkers for distinguishing liver-stomach qi stagnation syndrome from spleen-stomach weakness syndrome in CAG patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of Guiqi Yiyuan ointment combined with cisplatin on mice with Lewis lung cancer through the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway and mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. MethodFifty SPF male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the model group， cisplatin group （0.005 g·kg^-1）， and low， medium， and high dose groups of Guiqi Yiyuan ointment combined with cisplatin （0.005+1.6 g·kg^-1， 0.005+3.3 g·kg^-1， and 0.005+6.6 g·kg^-1）. Lewis cell suspension was inoculated under the axilla of mice in each group to construct the Lewis lung cancer xenograft mouse model. After continuous administration for 14 days， the mice were sacrificed. The body weight of the mice was measured， and the tumor weight was measured after the tumors were removed. The organ index and tumor inhibition rate were calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin （ HE） staining was used to observe the pathological changes in tumor tissue. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of tumor cells and the ratio of reactive oxygen species （ROS）. Western blot was used to detect the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78）， phosphorylated activated protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase （p-PERK）， activated transcription factor 4 （ATF4）， and apoptosis protein C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP） in the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway， as well as cysteine aspartate protease-9 （Caspase-9）， B-cell lymphoma-2（Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2 associated X protein（Bax） in the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. ResultCompared with those in the model group， the mice in the groups of Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment combined with cisplatin had shinier fur and better mental response status. Tumor mass was reduced in all treatment groups （P<0.05）， and tumor inhibition rate was increased in all treatment groups （P<0.05）. The thymus and spleen indices of the combined group were increased （P<0.05）， and obvious pathological changes were observed in the tumor tissue of all treatment groups， with a gradual decrease in heteromorphism. Destruction of massive tumor tissue was observed in the high-dose combined group， and the apoptosis rate and ROS generation rate of tumor cells were increased in all treatment groups （P<0.05）. The protein expression level of Bcl-2 in the tumor tissue gradually decreased （P<0.05）， while the protein expression levels of GRP78， p-PERK， ATF4， CHOP， Bax， and Caspase-9 were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the cisplatin group， tumor mass was reduced in the combined group （P<0.05）， and tumor inhibition rates in the low and high-dose combined groups were increased （P<0.05）. The thymus index， spleen index， apoptosis rate of tumor cells， and ROS ratio in the combined group were significantly increased （P<0.05）， while the protein expression levels of GRP78， p-PERK， Bax， and Caspase-9 were increased in the low and high-dose combined groups （P<0.05）. The protein expression levels of ATF4 and CHOP were increased in the combined group （P<0.05）， while the expression level of Bcl-2 protein gradually decreased （P<0.05）. ConclusionGuiqi Yiyuan ointment combined with cisplatin can exert anti-tumor effects in mice with Lewis lung cancer， reduce tumor mass， increase tumor inhibition rate， and induce apoptosis of lung cancer cells. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway and mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

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.
