OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of diagnosis and treatment guidelines and expert consensuses on childhood immune thrombocytopenic purpura （ITP） published domestically and internationally， in order to provide reference for clinical practice and future guideline/expert consensus development and improvement. METHODS A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases， including PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang data， VIP， CBM； additionally， supplementary searches were carried out on websites such as Medlive， the Chinese Medical Association’s official website， and National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in the UK. The retrieval time ranged from the inception to September 2， 2024. Researchers who had undergone systematic training independently evaluated the methodology and report quality included in the guideline/consensus using the Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation Ⅱ （AGREE Ⅱ） and the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare （RIGHT）. RESULTS A total of 11 guidelines/consensuses were included. The average scores for the six domains of AGREE Ⅱ tool respectively were “range and purpose” （[ 66.67±17.98）% ]， “participants” [58.33% （13.89%，73.61%）]， “rigor” （[ 41.81±23.85）% ]， “clarity”（[ 69.57±19.35）%]， “applicability” （[ 35.98±17.83）%]， and “independence” [27.08% （0，75.00%）]； out of 11 articles， 9 had a recommendation level of B， 2 had a recommendation level of C， and there were no A-level articles. The average reporting rates of the 7 areas in the RIGHT tool were “basic information” （[ 72.35±12.95）% ]， “background” （[ 54.55±15.40）%]，“ evidence” （[ 36.36±24.81）%]，“ recommended opinions” （[ 53.25±19.20）%]，“ review and quality assurance” [0 （0， 25.00%）]， “funding and conflict of interest statement and management” [12.50%（0，25.00%）]， and other aspects [8.33%（0， 50.00%）]. In addition， there was no statistically significant difference in the AGREE Ⅱ and RIGHT scores between the guidelines and consensuses （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The overall quality of the guidelines and consensuses included in this study is not high， with a recommended level of B or C. It is recommended that clinical decision-making prioritize referring to the relatively high-quality guideline/consensus among them. The quality of evidence in the existing traditional Chinese medicine guidelines for children with ITP needs to be improved， and there is no integrated guideline/consensus for traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is recommended to revise or write relevant guideline/consensus according to the requirements of AGREE Ⅱ and RIGHT in various fields to guide clinical practice.

Radiomics is a new diagnostic and treatment technology,which can be employed to extract high-throughput radiomics features from CT,MR,and PET images and screen features closely related to diagnostic and treatment purposes,so as to accurately predict tumor or disease classification,prognosis,or genomic changes.Ki-67 is a type of nuclear protein,which is present only in nuclei of proliferative and dividing cells but not in those of quiescent phase cells;hence,it can be used as a predictor of cell proliferation and has been proven to be closely related to prognosis of lung cancer.This article reviews the mechanism and progress in radiomics research related to Ki-67 in lung cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (Trans-PRK) combined with accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL) for refractive error in patients with thin or irregular corneas, excluding keratoconus.Methods:An observational case series study was performed.Fifty-five right eyes of 55 myopic patients diagnosed with thin or irregular corneas, who underwent Trans-PRK combined with prophylactic CXL surgery, were included at Baotou Chaoju Eye Ophthalmic Hospital from August 2017 to July 2018.Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of the operated eye was measured using international standard visual acuity charts, and refractive diopters were measured by computer and comprehensive refraction before surgery and at 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.Corneal morphology was assessed with the Pentacam anterior segment analyzer before surgery and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured with a non-contact tonometer before surgery and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery.The incidence of postoperative complications was recorded.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Baotou Chaoju Ophthalmic Hospital (No.btcj-u-1). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:Preoperative, 1-week, 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperative UDVA (LogMAR) were 0.52(0.55, 0.78), 0.22(0.12, 0.17), 0.10(0.04, 0.07), 0.00(-0.04, -0.16), -0.08(-0.05, -0.03) and -0.08(-0.06, -0.04), respectively, showing a statistically significant overall difference ( Z=249.44, P<0.001). UDVA at each postoperative time point was improved compared to preoperative, and UDVA at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively was significantly improved compared to 1 week and 1 month postoperatively (all at P<0.001). The spherical diopter at each postoperative time point decreased significantly compared to preoperative, with the spherical diopter at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively being lower than that at 1 week postoperatively, and the 12-month postoperative spherical diopter being lower than that at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). The cylindrical degree at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively was lower than that at preoperative and 1 week postoperatively, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). After the operation, the spherical equivalent of the operated eye gradually decreased with time, tending toward emmetropia.The spherical equivalent at each postoperative time point decreased compared to preoperative, with the spherical equivalent at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively being lower than that at 1 week postoperatively, and the spherical equivalent at 12 months postoperatively being lower than that at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). The corneal K1 and K2 values at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively were significantly lower than preoperatively (all at P<0.001), and the corneal K1 and K2 values at 3 months postoperatively tended to stabilize.The IOP of the operated eye at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively was significantly lower than preoperatively, and the IOP at 6 and 12 months postoperatively was lower than that at 1 and 3 months postoperatively, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). One eye developed grade 0.5 corneal haze at 1 week postoperatively, which spontaneously resolved to transparency at 1 month postoperatively. Conclusions:Trans-PRK combined with accelerated CXL has good efficacy, stability and safety for refractive error patients with thin or irregular corneas, except for keratoconus.

Objective To study the mechanism of the amelioration of renal injury in immunoglobulin A nephropathy(IgAN)rats by multi-glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii(GTW)based on the sphingosine kinase 1(Sphk1)/sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2(S1PR2)signalling pathway.Methods An IgAN rat model was established by means of bovine serum albumin gavage+castor oil and carbon tetrachloride subcutaneous injection+lipopolysaccharide tail vein injection.The rats were randomly divided into the model,control and experimental groups,with 9 rats in each group,and 10 normal rats were taken as the blank group.In the control group,6.25 mg·kg-1·d-1 prednisone was given by gavage;in the experimental group,9.375 mg·kg-1·d-1GTW was given by gavage;and in the blank and model groups,0.5 mL·100 g-1·d-1 0.9％NaCl was given by gavage,and the drugs were administered to the rats once a day in each group.At the end of the 15th week,urine samples were collected and blood albumin(ALB),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),24 hour-urine protein quantification(24 h-UTP),and urine erythrocyte counts were determined in each group,and the expression levels of Sphk1/S1PR2 proteins in each group were detected by Western blotting.Results The renal pathological changes in the control and experimental groups were significantly reduced compared with those in the model group by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence.The levels of ALB in the blank,model,control and experimental groups were(32.49±2.23),(22.98±0.51),(26.01±1.33)and(26.53±1.92)g·L-1;the levels of BUN were(6.11±1.71),(13.75±2.96),(6.71±1.35)and(4.77±0.99)mmol·L-1;the levels of 24 h-UTP were(5.72±1.96),(9.12±2.15),(5.78±2.05)and(4.75±1.50)mg·24 h-1;the urine erythrocyte counts were(9.73±2.40),(14.62±2.60),(9.90±1.59)and(9.46±2.94)cell·μL-1;the relative expression levels of Sphk1 protein were 0.85±0.02,1.47±0.02,1.06±0.02 and 1.09±0.02;the relative expression levels of S1PR2 protein were 0.27±0.02,0.88±0.01,0.43±0.02,and 0.42±0.02,respectively.The above indexes in the model group were statistically significant when compared with those of the control group and the experimental group(all P＜0.01).Conclusion GTW may reduce the proliferation of mesangial cells by inhibiting the Sphk1/S1PR2 signalling pathway,thus attenuating kidney injury in IgAN rats.

Objective To explore the potential influencing factors of post-operative healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in colorectal cancer patients,as well as the mediating effect relationship between the influencing factors and the diagnosis-intervention packet(DIP)payment differentials.Methods Medical data of patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery in a tertiary first-class cancer hospital in Guangzhou were retrospectively analyzed.According to HAI status,patients were divided into infection group and non-infection group.Baseline demographic information and differences in DIP payment differentials between two groups of patients were compared by rank sum test or chi-square test.The influence of each potential factor on the occurrence of HAI was analyzed by logistic re-gression.Mediating analysis was preformed by bootstrap method,and mediating effect of HAI and total hospitaliza-tion days on DIP payment differentials was evaluated.Results A total of 350 patients were included in analysis,50 were in the infection group and 300 in the non-infection group.The incidence of HAI was 14.29％.Logistic regres-sion analysis result showed that risk of HAI in patients with central venous catheterization ≥10.00 days was 13.558 times higher than that＜10.00 days(P＜0.001);risk of HAI in patients with urinary catheterization ≥3.00 days was 2.388 times higher than that＜3.00 days(P=0.022).There were all statistically significant differences in DIP payment differentials among patients with different ages,prognostic nutritional index(PNI),HAI status,total length of hospitalization stay,duration of surgery,central venous catheterization days,and catheterization days(all P＜0.05).The mediating analysis results showed that the occurrence of HAI resulted a change in DIP payment di-fferentials by affecting the total number of hospitalization days.The mediating effect value of total hospitalization days was 0.038,accounting for 35.68％of the total effect.Conclusion Medical institutions should pay attention to HAI resulting from prolonged central venous and urinary catheterization in patients underwent surgery for colorectal cancer,reducing the total length of hospital stay,thus reducing the overruns associated with the increased DIP pay-ment differentials.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine(Dex)on inflammatory injury in rats with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced myocarditis(Myo)by regulating AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/silent information regulator 1(SIRT1)/nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway.Methods Rats were randomly divide into the NC group,the Myo group,and the L-Dex group(10 μg/kg Dex),the M-Dex group(30 μg/kg Dex),the H-Dex group(50 μg/kg Dex),the AICAR group(100 mg/kg AMPK/SIRT1/NF-κB signal pathway activator),the H-Dex+GSK690693 group(50 μg/kg Dex+0.2 μmol/kg AMPK/SIRT1/NF-κB signal pathway inhibitor GSK690693),with 10 rats in each group.M-mode echocardiography system was used to evaluate the cardiac function of rats;ELISA kit was used to detect the levels of serum interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and malondialdehyde(MDA)in rats;TUNEL staining was used to observe cell apoptosis;HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of myocardial tissue;RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1(CXCL1),C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2(CXCL2),and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1)in rat myocardial tissue;Western blot was used to detect the expression of AMPK/SIRT1/NF-κB pathway-related proteins in rat myocardial tissue.Results There was no abnormal change in cardiomyocytes in the NC group,and cardiomyocytes in the Myo group showed deformation,necrosis,inflammatory cell infiltra-tion,and mesenchymal congestion;necrosis,inflammatory cell infiltration,and mesenchymal congestion in the L-Dex group,the M-Dex group,the H-Dex group,and the AICAR group were improved compared with that in the Myo group;changes in cardiomyocytes in the H-Dex group and the AICAR group were similar to those in the NC group,and changes in cardiomyocytes in the H-Dex+GSK690693 group were similar to those in the Myo group.Compared with the NC group,the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS),expression levels of SOD,p-AMPK/AMPK,p-SIRT1/SIRT1 in the Myo group were obviously decreased(P<0.05),left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV),left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESD),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,MDA,CXCL1,CXCL2,VCAM-1,p-NF-κB/NF-κB,NF-κB p65 and cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate were obviously increased(P<0.05).Compared with the Myo group,the LVEF,LVFS,expression levels of SOD,p-AMPK/AMPK,p-SIRT1/SIRT1 in the L-Dex group,the M-Dex group,the H-Dex group and the AICAR group were obviously increased(P<0.05),LVESV,LVEDV,LVESD,LVEDD,expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,MDA,CXCL1,CXCL2,VCAM-1,p-NF-κB/NF-κB,NF-κB p65 and cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate were obviously decreased(P<0.05),and the effects were more obvious with the increase of the dosage of Dex.There was no significant difference in the above results between the AICAR group and the H-Dex group(P>0.05).Compared with the H-Dex group,the LVEF,LVFS,expression levels of SOD,p-AMPK/AMPK,p-SIRT1/SIRT1 in the H-Dex+GSK690693 group were obviously decreased(P<0.05),LVESV,LVEDV,LVESD,LVEDD,levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,MDA,cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate,the expression of CXCL1,CXCL2,VCAM-1,p-NF-κB/NF-κB and NF-κB p65 protein were obviously increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Dex may alleviate LPS-induced inflammatory injury in Myo rats by up-regulating AMPK/SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Aim To explore the effect of quercetin(Que)on ferroptosis and the potential mechanisms in an Erastin-induced ferroptosis model in chondrocytes.Methods A model of Erastin-induced ferroptosis was established in C28/I2 chondrocytes.Cells were treated with different concentrations of Que.Cell viability and cytotoxicity were assessed by MTT and LDH assays.The expression levels of Prdx6 and ferroptosis-related proteins ACSL4 and GPX4 in chondrocytes were deter-mined by Western blot.Lipid ROS production in chon-drocytes was measured by flow cytometry,while the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were de-tected by RH123 staining.Prdx6 mRNA expression in chondrocytes was quantified by RT-qPCR.The chan-ges in the expression of the ferroptosis-related proteins ACSL4 and GPX4 were detected by immunofluores-cence staining.Results Compared to the Erastin-in-duced ferroptosis model group,Que significantly im-proved the viability of C28/I2 chondrocytes and re-duced cell cytotoxicity.It decreased the expression of the ferroptosis-related protein ACSL4 and increased the expression of GPX4.Que also inhibited the production of lipid ROS in chondrocytes and strengthened their mitochondrial membrane potential.In addition,the ex-pression of Prdx6 was significantly reduced in the Eras-tin group compared to the control group,while Que treatment upregulated the expression of Prdx6.Mean-while,the inhibitory effect of Que on chondrocyte fer-roptosis was reduced by the use of MJ33,an inhibitor of Prdx6.Conclusion Que can inhibit Erastin-induced ferroptosis of C28/I2 chondrocytes,possibly by upregu-lating Prdx6,and thus play a protective role in chon-drocytes.

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 analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in visceral adipose tissue of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) based on bioinformatics.Methods:The microarray dataset GSE78721 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including visceral fat samples data from 19 T2DM patients and 16 non-diabetic subjects. The analysis of transcriptomic profiling results from tissue samples was conducted, and a comparison between different groups of samples based on gender was performed. The online Xintao Academic Database was utilized for the analysis, employing the "limma" package in R language to filter DEGs. Subsequently, the DEGs were visualized, and Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation along with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were carried out and visualized. Based on the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database, a protein-protein interaction network (PPI) of DEGs was constructed and key differentially expressed genes were identified and visualized using Cytoscape software.Results:Analysis of visceral adipose tissue gene expression profiles revealed 168 DEGs (|log 2FC|≥1, P<0.05). In females, 42 mRNAs were up-regulated, 3 were down-regulated; in males, 105 were up-regulated, 37 were down-regulated, 19 genes were shared by the two groups. GO analysis linked DEGs to insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling and regulation, nutrient response, and leukocyte migration. KEGG analysis implicated extracellular matrix receptor interactions and leukocyte transendothelial migration. The PPI network unveiled 10 key genes, including COL1A1, COL1A2, TGFB3, PCOLCE, TIMP1, COL6A2, COMP, COL14A1, VCAM1 and THY1. Conclusion:Bioinformatics technology can effectively analyze and screen DEGs in visceral adipose tissue of T2DM patients, providing useful clues for further exploring its molecular mechanism and finding therapeutic targets.
