Objective:To investigate the effect of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) regulating the signal axis of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α)/CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) on the mobilization of bone marrow endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to peripheral blood in diabetes skin ulcer (DSU) rats.Methods:Twenty four SPF grade male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were selected to make the model of type 2 diabetes rats by intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg 1% (plastid ratio) streptozotocin, and then round full-thickness skin with a diameter of 2 cm was cut on both sides of the waist and back to make the skin ulcer model of diabetes rats. After that, they were randomly divided into AS-IV group (50 mg/kg AS-IV), blocker group (50 mg/kg AS-IV+ 5 mg/kg AMD3100) and model group. At the same time, a blank group ( n=8) was set up, The drug was administered via intraperitoneal injection, and the model group and blank group were treated with 0.9% NaCl of equal volume. On the 10th day, peripheral blood, femoral bone marrow, and wound neovascularization tissues of rats were collected. The number of EPCs in peripheral blood of each group of rats was measured by flow cytometry, and the protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in peripheral blood, femoral bone marrow, and wound neovascularization tissues of rats was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); At the same time, the wound healing rates of each group were tested. Results:On the 10th and 21st day after modeling, the wound healing rate of each group of rats was compared. The blank group healed the fastest, while the model group healed the slowest. The AS-IV group had better healing than the model group and the blocker group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). On the 10th day after modeling, the positive rates of peripheral blood EPCs in the white group, AS-IV group, and blocker group were significantly higher than those in the model group (all P<0.05), while the positive rates of peripheral blood EPCs in the blocker group were significantly lower than those in the AS-IV group (all P<0.05). On the 10th day after modeling, the protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the wound, serum, and bone marrow of the model group was the lowest, while the protein expression in the blank group was the highest (all P<0.05). The protein expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the wound, serum, bone marrow of the AS-IV group was significantly higher than that of the blocker group and model group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Astragaloside IV can promote the mobilization and migration of endothelial progenitor cells from bone marrow to peripheral blood in diabetes ulcer rats by regulating SDF-1α/CXCR4 signal axis, and can participate in angiogenesis of diabetes ulcer wounds as seed cells to promote the healing of diabetes skin ulcers.

Objective To explore the association between violent behaviors and emotions in individuals with mental disorders,to evaluate the application value of facial expression analysis technology in violence risk assessment of individuals with mental disorders in supervised settings,and to provide a reference for violence risk assessment.Methods Thirty-nine male individuals with mental disorders in supervised settings were selected,the participant risk of violence,cognitive function,psychiatric symptoms and se-verity were assessed using the Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS),the Historical,Clinical,Risk Management-Chinese version(HCR-CV),the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS).An emotional arousal was performed on the participants and the intensity of their emotions and facial expression action units was recorded before,during and after the arousal.One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the differences in the intensity of emotions and facial expression action units before,during and after the arousal.Pearson correlation analysis was used to calculate the correlations between the intensity of the seven basic emo-tional facial expressions and the scores of the assessment scales.Results The intensity difference of sadness,surprise and fear in different time periods was statistically significant (P<0.05).The intensity of the left medial eyebrow lift action unit was found significantly different before and after the emo-tional arousal (P<0.05).The intensity of anger was positively correlated with the Modified Overt Ag-gression Scale score throughout the experiment (P<0.05).Conclusion Eye action units such as eye-brow lifting,eyelid tightening and upper eyelid lifting can be used as effective action units to identify sadness,anger and other negative emotions associated with violent behaviors.Facial expression analysis technology can be used as an auxiliary tool to assess the potential risk of violence in individuals with mental disorders in supervised settings.

An innovative on-site real-time avian influenza virus(AIV)detection method was estab-lished by integratingrecombinase-aided amplification(RAA)with the clustered regularly inter-spaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein(Cas)system.After analy-zing 120 sequences of the M gene of avian influenza viruses of different subtypes publicly available on NCBI,the RAA primers and crRNA were designed based on the identified highly conserved segment and used for RAA nucleic acid amplification.After the amplified products were transferred to a CRISPR/Cas13a detection system,the fluorescence values were monitored throughout the re-action process to indicate the results.The sensitivity and specificity of the RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a method were validated using gradient dilutions(106-100 copies/μL)of positive plasmids and sev-en other avian viruses.Fifty clinical samples were tested using this method and compared with the national standard fluorescence RT-PCR method.The results indicated that the detection limit for RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a method was 102 copies/μL,a two-fold improvement over the standard RAA.Specificity assay showed the established method only detected AIV with no cross-reactivity with other seven avian viruses.Compared to the national standard fluorescence RT-PCR method,this method exhibited 100％specificity,95.24％accuracy,and 98.00％consistency in detection of clinical samples.In conclusion,a universal and rapid RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a for detection of AIV was established with the capacity of achieving detection within 60 minutes at 37 ℃,which provides a rapid,sensitive,and specific on-site detection method for AIV.

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 establish a set of artificial intelligence (AI) verification rules for blood routine analysis.Methods:Blood routine analysis data of 18 474 hospitalized patients from the First Hospital of Jilin University during August 1st to 31st, 2019, were collected as training group for establishment of the AI verification rules,and the corresponding patient age, microscopic examination results, and clinical diagnosis information were collected. 92 laboratory parameters, including blood analysis report parameters, research parameters and alarm information, were used as candidate conditions for AI audit rules; manual verification combining microscopy was considered as standard, marked whether it was passed or blocked. Using decision tree algorithm, AI audit rules are initially established through high-intensity, multi-round and five-fold cross-validation and AI verification rules were optimized by setting important mandatory cases. The performance of AI verification rules was evaluated by comparing the false negative rate, precision rate, recall rate, F1 score, and pass rate with that of the current autoverification rules using Chi-square test. Another cohort of blood routine analysis data of 12 475 hospitalized patients in the First Hospital of Jilin University during November 1sr to 31st, 2023, were collected as validation group for validation of AI verification rules, which underwent simulated verification via the preliminary AI rules, thus performance of AI rules were analyzed by the above indicators. Results:AI verification rules consist of 15 rules and 17 parameters and do distinguish numeric and morphological abnormalities. Compared with auto-verification rules, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score of AI rules in training group were 22.7%, 1.6%, 74.5%, 1.3%, 75.7%, 97.2%, 93.5%, 94.7%, 94.1, respectively.All of them were better than auto-verification rules, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001), and with no important case missed. In validation group, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score were 19.2%, 8.2%, 70.1%, 2.5%, 72.6%, 89.2%, 70.0%, 88.3%, 78.1, respectively, Compared with the auto-verification rules, The false negative rate was lower, the false positive rate and the recall rate were slightly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:A set of the AI verification rules are established and verified by using decision tree algorithm of machine learning, which can identify, intercept and prompt abnormal results stably, and is moresimple, highly efficient and more accurate in the report of blood analysis test results compared with auto-vefication.

Objective: To investigate the impact of combined use and timing of arterial-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) with intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) on the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock (AMICS). Methods: This was a prospective cohort study, patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock who received VA-ECMO support from the Heart Center of Lanzhou University First Hospital from March 2019 to March 2022 in the registration database of the Chinese Society for Extracorporeal Life Support were enrolled. According to combination with IABP and time point, patients were divided into VA-ECMO alone group, VA-ECMO+IABP concurrent group and VA-ECMO+IABP non-concurrent group. Data from 3 groups of patients were collected, including the demographic characteristics, risk factors, ECG and echocardiographic examination results, critical illness characteristics, coronary intervention results, VA-ECMO related parameters and complications were compared among the three groups. The primary clinical endpoint was all-cause death, and the safety indicators of mechanical circulatory support included a decrease in hemoglobin greater than 50 g/L, gastrointestinal bleeding, bacteremia, lower extremity ischemia, lower extremity thrombosis, acute kidney injury, pulmonary edema and stroke. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze the survival outcomes of patients within 30 days of follow-up. Using VA-ECMO+IABP concurrent group as reference, multivariate Cox regression model was used to evaluate the effect of the combination of VA-ECMO+IABP at different time points on the prognosis of AMICS patients within 30 days. Results: The study included 68 AMICS patients who were supported by VA-ECMO, average age was (59.8±10.8) years, there were 12 female patients (17.6%), 19 cases were in VA-ECMO alone group, 34 cases in VA-ECMO+IABP concurrent group and 15 cases in VA-ECMO+IABP non-concurrent group. The success rate of ECMO weaning in the VA-ECMO+IABP concurrent group was significantly higher than that in the VA-ECMO alone group and the VA-ECMO+IABP non-concurrent group (all P<0.05). Compared with the ECMO+IABP non-concurrent group, the other two groups had shorter ECMO support time, lower rates of acute kidney injury complications (all P<0.05), and lower rates of pulmonary edema complications in the ECMO alone group (P<0.05). In-hospital survival rate was significantly higher in the VA-ECMO+IABP concurrent group (28 patients (82.4%)) than in the VA-ECMO alone group (9 patients) and VA-ECMO+IABP non-concurrent group (7 patients) (all P<0.05). The survival rate up to 30 days of follow-up was also significantly higher surviving patients within were in the ECMO+IABP concurrent group (26 cases) than in VA-ECMO alone group (9 patients) and VA-ECMO+IABP non-concurrent group (4 patients) (all P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that compared with the concurrent use of VA-ECMO+IABP, the use of VA-ECMO alone and non-concurrent use of VA-ECMO+IABP were associated with increased 30-day mortality in AMICS patients (HR=2.801, P=0.036; HR=2.985, P=0.033, respectively). Conclusions: When VA-ECMO is indicated for AMICS patients, combined use with IABP at the same time can improve the ECMO weaning rate, in-hospital survival and survival at 30 days post discharge, and which does not increase additional complications.

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum irisin level with insulin resistance and left ventricular remodeling after PCI in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)without diabetes.Methods A total of 485 STEMI patients without diabetes who received emergency PCI in our hospital from January 2017 to August 2020 were recruited in this study.According to the quartile values of baseline serum irisin levels,they were divided into low(＜0.31 mg/L,n=161),medium(0.31-0.97 mg/L,n=150),and high irisin groups(＞0.97 mg/L,n=174).Serum irisin level was measured with ELISA and insulin resistance was assessed by homeostasis model.During a follow-up of 12 months,the relationship between serum irisin level and echocardiographic parameters was evaluated.Results Compared with the baseline irisin level,the level reached a peak of at 8 h after PCI,and decreased a minimum at 3 d after surgery,with statistical differences(P＜0.01).The low irisin group had significantly higher BMI,diastolic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,TG,cTnI peak and NT-proBNP levels,but youn-ger age when compared with the medium irisin group and the high irisin group(P＜0.05).Obvi-ously higher diastolic blood pressure,fasting insulin,TG,cTnI peak and NT-proBNP levels were observed in the medium irisin group than the high irisin group(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that baseline serum irisin level was negatively correlated with HOMR-IR,ΔLVEDD,ΔLVESD,ΔLVEDVi and ΔLVESVi(r=-0.338,r=-0.172,r=-0.164,r=-0.154,r=-0.167,P＜0.01).Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that after further ad-justment for impaired glucose tolerance and BMI,low irisin level was still independently associat-ed with ΔLVEDD(P＜0.01).Conclusion Baseline irisin level in STEMI patients without diabetes is correlated with insulin resistance and subsequent poor left ventricular remodeling,and is expec-ted to be a predictor of left ventricular remodeling after PCI.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, genetic, and pathological features of nemaline myopathy type 8 (NEM8) caused by KLHL40 gene variation. Methods:The clinical data, gene sequencing results, and musculoskeletal pathophysiology of two cases (a pair of twins) with NEM8 admitted to our hospital in July 2022 were collected. CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, Yiigle, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science Database were searched with the English and Chinese terms "nemaline myopathy type 8", "nemaline body myopathy type 8", and " KLHL40" from January 2007 to February 2023. The clinical, genetic, and musculoskeletal characteristics of the NEM8 cases were summarized using the descriptive statistical analysis method. Results:(1) Case report: The mother (G2P2) of the twins (Ⅳ-2 and Ⅳ-3) was conceived by IVF-embryo transfer and delivered at 37 +1 gestational weeks. The two cases were dizygotic twins whose maternal grandmother had lip and palate cleft. The first baby (Ⅳ-1) of the woman exhibited absent left pinna, contracture at the end of both fingers, talipes equinovarus in both feet and died of respiratory failure two hours after birth. Fetal edema and fetal movement delay in the twins and varus right foot in one twin were found during pregnancy. Both cases developed intrapartum asphyxia with the clinical manifestations of generalized muscle weakness, respiratory failure, dysphagia, multiple joint contractures, and fractures. The families withdrew the treatment and the twins died after maintaining life with ventilators for 53 days after birth. Whole exome sequencing of the pedigree found c.1779G>T (p.W593C) homozygous variants of the KLHL40 gene in the twins and c.1779G>T (p.W593C) heterozygous variants of the KLHL40 gene in the parents, both were de novo. Musculoskeletal pathophysiology indicated that muscle fibers are thin and round with a fetal shape and absent rod. (2) Literature review: Among the 29 cases of NEM8, including two current cases and 27 cases retrieved from 15 papers, eight cases terminated the pregnancies, and 21 were live births; seven cases (24.1%) with positive family history; 19 cases (65.5%) were found with abnormalities during pregnancy, including abnormal fetal movements, polyhydramnios, joint contracture, and fetal edema. Of the 21 live births, 20 cases had intrapartum asphyxia, 21 had postnatal respiratory failure, 20 had generalized muscle weakness, and 19 had dysphagia. Among the 29 cases, 17 cases (58.6%) were homozygous variants of the KLHL40 gene, and 12 cases (41.4%) were compound heterozygous variants. The detection rate of c.1516A>C(p.Thr506Pro) was the highest [72.4% (21/29)], followed by c.602G>A(p.Trp201*) [17.2% (5/29)]. Out of the 15 cases who underwent musculoskeletal pathological examination, all had abnormal muscle fiber size and morphology; 10 cases had rods. Conclusions:NEM8 should be considered for those with abnormal fetal movements, polyhydramnios, joint malformation, fetal edema during the fetal period and failure to establish respiration at birth as well as postnatal generalized muscle weakness, respiratory failure, dysphagia, multiple joint contractures, and fracture. Moreover, genetic detection should be performed as soon as possible. NEM8 can be diagnosed in ones with KLHL40 gene homozygous or compound heterozygous variants and musculoskeletal pathological results of abnormal size and shape of muscle fibers, regardless of the presence of rods.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of neonatal resuscitation simulation exercise for perinatal medical personnel.Methods:From August 2020 to July 2021, perinatal medical personnel receiving simulated training of neonatal resuscitation in our hospital were prospectively enrolled. The professional backgrounds of the trainees were collected and their performances on both knowledge skills and behavioral skills were scored. The knowledge skills included pre-resuscitation preparation, initial resuscitation, positive pressure ventilation, tracheal intubation, chest compression and umbilical vein catheterization. The behavioral skills included situational awareness, problem solving, resource utilization, communication and leadership. SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis.Results:Among the 200 participants, 127(63.5%) were neonatal/pediatric doctors and nurses, 65(32.5%) were obstetricians and midwives, 8(4.0%) were anesthesiologists and the ratio of doctors to nurses was 1.74∶1. The score of knowledge skills was (19.52±2.92) at the beginning of the simulation exercise and (27.02±2.72) at the end. The scores on preparation before resuscitation, initial resuscitation and positive pressure ventilation were significantly improved ( P<0.05). The score of behavioral skills was (16.60±2.34) at the beginning and (20.58±1.77) at the end. The scores of resource utilization, communication and leadership were significantly improved ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The simulation exercise provides multidisciplinary teamwork training for perinatal medical personnel, may significantly improve neonatal resuscitation skills and is worth promoting.
