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 systematically evaluate the effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods:We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality. Meta-analysis and cumulative meta-analysis were performed using R4.4.1 software. Fixed/random effects models were used to analyze heterogeneous and non-heterogeneous results. Heterogeneous modifiers were identified by subgroup analysis. Funnel plots and Peters' test were used to analyze potential publication bias.Results:A total of 48 studies involving 92 836 HBsAg-positive pregnant women and 7 123 292 HBsAg-negative pregnant women were included. In terms of adverse pregnancy outcomes, HBV infection was significantly correlated with the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus [odds ratio ( OR)=1.34, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.17-1.53] and intrahepatic cholestasis ( OR=2.48, 95% CI: 1.88-3.29), with statistically significant differences. In terms of adverse neonatal outcomes, HBV infection was significantly correlated with the occurrence of neonatal asphyxia ( OR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.20-1.86) and preterm birth ( OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.12-1.33), with statistically significant differences. In addition, the cumulative meta-analysis demonstrated that the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus and preterm birth both tended to be stable in pregnant women with HBV infection following 2009 and 2010, respectively. The supplementary questions answered for repeated studies had limited significance. Conclusion:Intrahepatic cholestasis, gestational diabetes mellitus, neonatal asphyxia, and preterm birth occurrence risk can be raised with HBV infection in pregnant women.

Objective: To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of pediatric patients with dual genetic diagnoses (DGD). Methods: Clinical and genetic data of pediatric patients with DGD from January 2021 to February 2022 in Peking University First Hospital were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results: Among the 9 children, 6 were boys and 3 were girls. The age of last visit or follow-up was 5.0 (2.7,6.8) years. The main clinical manifestations included motor retardation, mental retardation, multiple malformations, and skeletal deformity. Cases 1-4 were all all boys, showed myopathic gait, poor running and jumping, and significantly increased level of serum creatine kinase. Disease-causing variations in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene were confirmed by genetic testing. The 4 children were diagnosed with DMD or Becker muscular dystrophy combined with a second genetic disease, including hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, spinal muscular atrophy, fragile X syndrome, and cerebral cavernous malformations type 3, respectively. Cases 5-9 were clinically and genetically diagnosed as COL9A1 gene-related multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 6 combined with NF1 gene-related neurofibromatosis type 1, COL6A3 gene-related Bethlem myopathy with WNT1 gene-related osteogenesis imperfecta type XV, Turner syndrome (45, X0/46, XX chimera) with TH gene-related Segawa syndrome, Chromosome 22q11.2 microduplication syndrome with DYNC1H1 gene-related autosomal dominant lower extremity-predominant spinal muscular atrophy-1, and ANKRD11 gene-related KBG syndrome combined with IRF2BPL gene-related neurodevelopmental disorder with regression, abnormal movement, language loss and epilepsy. DMD was the most common, and there were 6 autosomal dominant diseases caused by de novo heterozygous pathogenic variations. Conclusions: Pediatric patients with coexistence of double genetic diagnoses show complex phenotypes. When the clinical manifestations and progression are not fully consistent with the diagnosed rare genetic disease, a second rare genetic disease should be considered, and autosomal dominant diseases caused by de novo heterozygous pathogenic variation should be paid attention to. Trio-based whole-exome sequencing combining a variety of molecular genetic tests would be helpful for precise diagnosis.

Objective: To investigate the features of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) in order to improve the preoperative diagnosis rate. Methods: CEUS images of 32 pathologically-proven cases of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma from January 2004 to August 2021 were collected. Lesions were analyzed to observe the features of enhancement mode, enhancement intensity, and distinct enhancement phases. Results: Among the 32 cases, one had a solitary lesion, 29 had multiple lesions, and two had diffuse-type lesions. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound revealed a total of 42 lesions in 32 cases. In terms of arterial phase enhancement, 18 lesions had overall enhancement, six lesions had uneven dendritic enhancement, 16 lesions had rim-like enhancement, and two lesions had just slight peripheral spot enhancement around the lesions. Among the three cases, there were multiple lesions that had overall enhancement and ring enhancement. In terms of the enhancement phase, 20 lesions showed "fast progression", 20 lesions showed "same progression", and two lesions showed "slow progression". During the late arterial or early portal venous phases with rapid washout, all lesions manifested as hypoechoic. With peaked enhanced intensity, 11 lesions had a lower enhancement intensity than the surrounding normal liver parenchyma; 11 lesions had the same enhancement degree as the surrounding normal liver parenchyma; and 20 lesions had a higher enhancement degree than the surrounding normal liver parenchyma. All 16 ring-enhancing lesions had marked hyperenhancement. In the typical enhancing lesions, four showed hyperenhancement, five showed low enhancement, and nine showed isoenhancement. In the dendrite-enhancing lesions, there were two isoenhancing and four hypoenhancing. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound delineated the boundaries of all lesions more clearly than two-dimensional ultrasound. Conclusion: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound has certain value in the diagnosis of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

Bacterial biofilm widely exists in all kinds of bacteria, and is related to about 80 percent of bacterial infections. It is one of the main reasons for bacterial tolerance and resistance to existing antibiotics. Therefore, there is unmet clinical need for new anti-biofilm drugs. At present, there are three kinds of anti-biofilm agents under research, including biofilm inhibitors, biofilm dispersal agents and biofilm eradication agents. Among them, the biofilm eradication agent is unique, which can not only kill bacteria in biofilm but also eliminate biofilm as a monotherapy. Based on modifications of natural products with antibacterial activity, a variety of compounds with biofilm eradicating activities have been obtained, such as, acyldepsipeptides, pyrrolomycins, halogenated phenazines and halogenated 8-hydroxyquinolines. In this review, we summarize several major biofilm eradication agents above according to their structures and mechanisms.

Postoperative radiotherapy increase the overall survival rate offor breast cancer improves overall survivalpatients, but. Nevertheless, the heart is at risk of radioactive heart damageradiation-induced cardiac injury due to its anatomical location, which is inevitably exposed to radiation during radiotherapy. The heart is considered a "high-risk organ" sensitive to radiation, and its radiation dose should be as low as possible. Previous studies have evaluated the effect of overall heart radiation dose on long-term cardiovascular events, but the. However, new study has found that the average heart dose does not accurately reflect the degree of heart radiation exposure. In recent years, more and morewidespread attention has been paid to subclinical cardiac injury after radiotherapy, aiming at early identification of latent cardiac injury. In addition, the relationship between specific cardiac substructural doses and arrhythmias is unclear. This paper focuses onIn this article, the limitations of average cardiac dose in predicting radioactive heart injuryradiation- induced cardiac injury, the indicators of early identification of the indicators for cardiac injury and the influencing factors of radiation-induced cardiac injury in breast cancer radioactive heart injurywere illustrated, and focuses on the relationship between radiation damage of different cardiac substructures and arrhythmia was evaluated, so asaiming to achieve fine cardiac risk management in breast cancer patients and reduce the non-cancer mortality in breast cancer patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the carcinogenic mechanism of Campylobacter jejuni. MethodsEighteen female C57BL/6 Apc^Min/+ mice were randomly divided into the C. jejuni-infected group and the non-infection control group， each group with nine mice. Colorectal cancer of Apc^Min/+ mice was induced by dextran sulfate sodium and gavage of C. jejuni （or PBS as a control）. At the end of the experiment， the number of tumors in colorectal tissues of mice in each group was counted， and RNA was extracted from colorectal tumors， along with para-cancer tissues as controls. Transcriptome sequencing was performed by RNA-Seq technology， and data were analyzed for differentially expressed genes （DEGs）. Further， selected DEGs were subjected to GO （gene ontology） enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. ResultsCompared with that of the non-infection control group， the incidence of tumor in C. jejuni-infected group was significantly higher （P < 0.01）， which indicated the success of recreating the C. jejuni-induced CRC model. RNA-seq results showed that there were 394 and 501 DEGs （fold change > 4 and P < 0.05） in the C. jejuni-infected group compared with the two control groups， respectively. In GO enrichment analysis， DEGs were mainly enriched in immune response regulation and activation pathways， multiple protein transport pathways and receptor binding pathways. Cancer-related pathways and metabolic pathways were significant enriched in KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Among these DEGs， 17 genes were found in comparisons with both control groups. The 17 genes were further selected， resulting in 14 “core” DEGs. In further validation of qRT-PCR， 9 genes were significantly differentially expressed， among which 3 genes were up-regulated （Gm1987， Saxo1 and Plekhs1） and 6 were down-regulated （Lrp2， Serpina3c， Fabp4， Tmem52， Lrrn4 and Upk3b）. ConclusionThis study emphasizes 9 host genes that may play important and unique roles in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer induced by C. jejuni， which provides new insights for further studies on the carcinogenic mechanism of C. jejuni.
