ABSTRACT
Due to long-term use of immunosuppressive agents, solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) belong to high-risk populations of multiple pathogenic infection, including SARS-CoV-2. In addition, SOTR are constantly complicated by chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, etc. After infected with SARS-CoV-2, the critically ill rate and fatality of SOTR are higher than those of the general population, which captivates widespread attention from experts in the field of organ transplantation. Omicrone variant is currently the significant pandemic strain worldwide, rapidly spreading to more than 100 countries worldwide and causing broad concern. According to the latest international guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection and relevant expert consensus in China combined with current domestic situation of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and China's "diagnosis and treatment regimen for SARS-CoV-2 infection (Trial Version 10)", the epidemiology, clinical manifestations and prognosis, diagnosis, clinical classification and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection were briefly reviewed.
ABSTRACT
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)-based immunotherapy combined with other treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has achieved significant efficacy in clinical research and practice, and has become the most commonly used and mainstay therapy for the treatment of unresectable HCC. In order to help clinicians administrating immunotherapy drugs and regimens rationally, effectively and safely, we organized a multidisciplinary expert team to adopt the "Delphi" consensus formation method, and finally revised and completed the "Multidisciplinary Expert Consensus on Combination Therapy Based on the Immunotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (2023 Edition)" on the basis of the 2021 version. This consensus mainly focuses on the principles and methods of clinical application of combination therapy based on the Immunotherapy, aiming to summarize the recommendations for clinical application based on the latest research and expert experience, and provide application guidance for clinicians.

@#The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of rare hereditary connective tissue disorders. EDS is clinically and genetically heterogeneous and usually involves multiple systems. EDS has 14 subtypes, the common features of which include joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, tissue fragility, and etc. The clinical manifestations and their severity differ between the subtypes, involving recurrent joint dislocations, scoliosis, arterial aneurysm and dissection, organ rupture, and others. The complexity of the disease poses challenges to the diagnosis and management of EDS, together with the rareness of the disease. The development of clinical guidelines and implementation of coordinated multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approaches to the EDS is in priority in the world.Therefore, we formed the Multi-Disciplinary Working Group on the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes in China. Based on GRADE methodology, the MDT group developed the Guidelines. The Group highly recommends a coordinated MDT approach to the diagnosis and management of EDS. The first drafted guidelines on EDS will facilitate the shortening of the diagnostic odyssey and meeting the unmet medical needs of the patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the remote multi-disciplinary team (MDT) model in diagnosis and treatment of plague, in order to provide scientific basis for clinical treatment of plague.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made on the diagnosis and treatment process of a case of bubonic plague, a sudden imported Class A infectious disease, which was secondary to septicemic plague, involving a remote MDT team consisting of the Infectious Diseases Department, Intensive Care Unit, Respiratory and Critical Care Department, Cardiology Department, Pharmacy Department, and Nosocomial Infection Department of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University.Results:The patient was a middle-aged female who was engaged in herding work on the grassland. The first symptom was a sudden pain in the left lower abdomen for three days, accompanied by chest tightness and shortness of breath. After hospitalization, blood culture indicated Yersinia, abdominal CT indicated left lower abdominal lymph node enlargement, and lymph node puncture fluid was positive for Yersinia pestis nucleic acid. Combined with clinical symptoms and signs, the patient was diagnosed as bubonic plague secondary to septicemic plague, and was isolated for treatment. After remote MDT consultation, comprehensive treatment was given, including anti-infection treatment of streptomycin and ciprofloxacin, short-term application of hormones, nutritional support, and local application of chloramphenicol ointment, etc. Secondary acute pancreatitis occurred during the course of the disease, which improved after symptomatic treatment. Finally, after 20 days of treatment, MDT expert group assessed that it met the discharge criteria. No abnormalities were found in follow-up visits outside the hospital. Conclusion:The remote MDT is effective in the treatment of bubonic plague secondary to septicemic plague, which is worth popularizing.

ABSTRACT
Multi-disciplinary team(MDT)mode is regarded as the key to standardized diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. The model, however, encounters such roadblocks in the current form of MDT organization, as costly clinical resources and time consumption, low efficiency, poor management of participating experts in MDT, and lack of enforceability of the therapeutic decisions made. This paper summarized the practical MDT experiences of the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Shandong First Medical University. It introduced the construction of an intranet-based MDT system covering a large proportion of newly diagnosed malignant tumor patients, and the practices and achievements of such MDT management system under hospital administrative guidance. The authors proposed to use reporting ratio as the main assessment indicator in promoting MDT, and that to define the performance, responsibilities and rights in MDT practice. These measures aim at to upgrading individual behaviors of doctors to organizational behaviors of hospitals, and providing cancer patients with more standardized, comprehensive and personalized diagnosis and treatment decisions.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and the experience of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) on recurrence of primary hyperoxaluria (PH) type I after renal transplantation. Methods One case presenting with unexplained rapid decline of renal allograft function after allogeneic renal transplantation was discussed by MDT. The role of MDT in diagnosing rare hereditary diseases and improving the long-term survival of renal transplant recipients was summarized. Results After MDT consultation, the patient was diagnosed with recurrence of PH type I. Routine immunosuppressive regimen was initiated after the exclusion of rejection. The patient was instructed to drink a large quantity of water, and given with high-quality protein and low-phosphorus diet, vitamin B6, calcium and other conservative therapies to actively prevent and treat postoperative complications. The deterioration of renal graft function was delayed. Nevertheless, regular hemodialysis was resumed at 5 months after renal transplantation until the submission date of this manuscript. Conclusions Recurrence of PH type I after renal transplantation is relatively rare. The main clinical manifestations are recurrent kidney stones and decreased renal function with multiple complications and poor prognosis. The condition of the patient is consulted by MDT for confirming the diagnosis, determining the optimal treatment scheme, delaying the progression and improving the clinical prognosis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To improve the understanding of Danon disease and the efficacy of heart transplantation by multi-disciplinary team (MDT) pattern. Methods Prior to heart transplantation, MDT consultation was performed on one case of Danon disease, an extremely rare X-chromosome dominant genetic disease. The content of consultation included surgical indication, preoperative preparation and postoperative precaution, as well as the role of MDT in the treatment of Danon disease was summarized. Results Preoperative echocardiography showed that the patient presented withdilated-phase of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy complicated with heart failure, which was considered as Danon disease with end-stage heart failure. After MDT consultation, the patient received the preoperative treatment including anti-heart failure, reduction of pulmonary artery pressure, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) assistance, liver protection, strengthening nutritional support, etc. The patient underwent orthotopic heart transplantation after a suitable donor was matched. The patient developed muscle weakness in the limbs 5 days after operation, which was gradually mitigated after reducing the dose of glucocorticoid. At postoperative 48 days, the patient was discharged in good condition and continually treated with triple immunosuppressive regimen after discharge. Reexamination at postoperative 6 months revealed that the patient was in good health without any abnormality in electrocardiogram and echocardiography images. Conclusions Danon disease is extremely rare and MDT pattern may enhance the efficacy and safety of treatment by heart transplantation.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) in the treatment of complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation. Methods MDT consultation was conducted to clarify the causes and therapeutic strategies for one case of complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation admitted to Liver Transplantation Center of the First Hospital of Jilin University on June 23, 2020. And the role of MDT in the treatment of complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation was summarized. Results The patient presented with abnormal liver function after liver transplantation. The diagnosis of biliary stricture, rejection and biliary tract infection was confirmed successively. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) stent internal and external double drainage, glucocorticoid shock and anti-infection therapy yielded low clinical efficacy. After MDT consultation, complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation was confirmed. It was suggested to optimize the immunosuppressive regimen based on the exclusion of rejections by pathological examination, deliver targeted anti-infection interventions and prevent the potential risk of concomitant drug-induced liver injury. The patient was discharged after proper recovery. Conclusions The causes of complex cholestatic liver injury after liver transplantation are diverse, and the condition changes dynamically. MDT consultation are performed to deepen the understanding of this disease, strengthen the classification of diagnosis and treatment ideas and enhance the precision and efficacy of corresponding treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the role of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) in improving the diagnosis and treatment of human herpes virus-6B (HHV-6B) encephalitis after liver transplantation. Methods MDT consultation was delivered for one rare case of HHV-6B encephalitis after liver transplantation to establish an effective individualized treatment regime. Results On the 16 d after liver transplantation, the patient developed headache, and suddenly presented with unresponsiveness, unconsciousness, coma complicated with involuntary limb twitching on the 18 d. Blood ammonia level was increased. Brain CT scan showed cerebral ischemic changes. Electroencephalography prompted the epileptic seizure. After MDT consultation, the possibility of nervous system infection after liver transplantation was considered, and medication therapy was given to control the epileptic seizure. Cerebrospinal fluid examination via lumbar puncture hinted increased intracranial pressure. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of the cerebrospinal fluid demonstrated that the patient was tested positive for HHV-6B nucleic acid, which confirmed the diagnosis of HHV-6B encephalitis. The immunosuppressant regime was adjusted, intravenous ganciclovir was given for antiviral treatment, and active interventions were delivered to prevent and treat relevant complications. Epileptic seizure disappeared after 4 d, and neurological symptoms were significantly alleviated after 2 weeks. After 4-week antiviral treatment, the patient was tested negative for virology testing, and the neurological function was restored to normal. Conclusions HHV-6B encephalitis rarely occurs after adult liver transplantation, which is primarily associated with the virus reactivation after use of immunosuppressant. MDT pattern may be employed to deepen the understanding of the patient's condition, formulate more effective individualized treatment regime, and enhance the clinical efficacy and safety.
