The promulgation of the Technical Specifications for Clinical Use of Blood (2025 Edition) signifies that China's clinical blood transfusion management has transitioned from mere technical operations to a new stage centered on patient blood management (PBM). Through an in-depth comparison of the new and old specifications, this paper analyzes the core transformations regarding conceptual reconstruction, legal alignment, technological upgrades, and closed-loop management. The new specifications establish PBM principles, reinforce legal safeguards for informed consent and emergency treatment, and construct a comprehensive, refined quality control system by specifying compatibility testing standards and introducing a post-transfusion evaluation system. Medical institutions should seize this opportunity to update management protocols and information systems, deepen multidisciplinary collaboration, and drive the profound transformation of clinical blood use from focusing solely on safety assurance to placing equal emphasis on science and value.

[Objective] To analyze the effects of different factors and red blood cell transfusion thresholds on the efficacy of neonatal red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, in order to provide more references for neonatal transfusions to better achieve rational and effective blood use. [Methods] A retrospective collection of data from 282 neonates who received RBC transfusions at our hospital from 2022 to 2023 was conducted, including birth weight, gestational age, number of blood transfusions, length of hospital stay, assisted ventilation during RBC transfusion, and laboratory test results before and after transfusion. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis to comprehensively analyze the impact of different factors on the efficacy of RBC transfusion in neonates. [Results] The results showed that the gestational age and weight of newborns at birth were negatively correlated with their length of hospital stay and the number of RBC transfusions during hospitalization. Newborns with younger gestational age and lower weight had longer hospital stays and more RBC transfusions during hospitalization. After administering RBCs according to the standard of 15 mL/kg, there was a statistically significant difference in the efficacy of RBC transfusion at different transfusion thresholds. In non-critical situations, RBC transfusions were ineffective when the pre-transfusion hemoglobin (Hb) level was >120 g/L. When the pre-transfusion Hb level was ≤70 g/L, RBC transfusions achieved higher efficacy in both critical and non-critical situations. [Conclusion] In critical situations, the group with pre-transfusion Hb values ≤ 70 g/L has the best RBC transfusion effect, while in non-critical situations, the group with pre-transfusion Hb levels between 81 and 90 g/L has the best RBC transfusion effect. Overall, the efficacy of RBC transfusion in non-critical situations is higher than that in critical situations.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia and outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to Department of Neurology, Putuo Hospital, Shanghai University of Tranditional Chinese Medicine between January 2020 and September 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score was used to evaluate the clinical outcome 3 months after the onset. ≤2 was considered as good outcome, and >2 was considered as poor outcome. The demography and baseline characteristics were compared between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of the outcome. Results:A total of 210 patients were included, their age was 69.87±62.62 years. There were 125 males (59.52%) and 85 females (40.48%). The baseline median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 4. The serum uric acid level in 169 patients (80.48%) was normal and 41 (19.52%) had hyperuricemia; 120 patients (57.14%) had a good outcome, and 90 (42.86%) had a poor outcome. Blood glucose level, serum uric acid level, baseline NIHSS score and the proportions of diabetes mellitus, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack, hyperuricemia in the poor outcome group were significantly higher than those in the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus (odds ratio [ OR] 2.735, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.461-5.121; P=0.002), hyperuricemia ( OR 2.400, 95% CI 1.102-5.228; P=0.027), and higher baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.233, 95% CI 1.118-1.360; P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for poor outcome in patient with acute ischemic stroke. Conclusion:Hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for poor outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

【Objective】 To evaluate the effect of multi-disciplinary patient blood management(PBM) on perioperative blood transfusion in patients with cardiothoracic surgery of gradeⅢ~Ⅳ. 【Methods】 The blood transfusion data and relevant clinical information of adult patients underwent grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ cardiothoracic surgeries before and after PBM (from January 2016 to December 2018)in our hospital were collected using Hospital Information System and Management System of Blood Transfusion Department. Patients were grouped according to three separate12-month periods: 933 cases subjected to conventional blood transfusion practice from Jan. to Dec.2016 as the control group, 1 139 cases experienced initial implement PBM(started on Jan.1, 2017)from Jan. to Dec.2017 as the early PBM group, and 1 411 cases received improved PBM from Jan. to Dec.2018 as the improved PBM group. The perioperative autotransfusion rate, allogeneic transfusion rate, length of hospital stay and hospitalization expenses of the three groups were compared by χ² test and variance analysis. 【Results】 The comparison results among control group, early PBM group and improved PBM group were as following: 1) The proportion of patients using iron and EPO to treat preoperative anemia were 15.12%(44/291)vs 19.73%(72/365)vs 26.65%(125/469)(P<0.01) and 10.31%(30/291)vs 12.33%(40/365)vs 15.57%(73/469)(P<0.05), respectively. 2) The incidence of autotransfusion were 57.98%(541/933)vs 44.76%(544/1 139)vs 37.00%(522/1 411)(P<0.01). The allogeneic transfusion volume per capita(U) were 351.91±35.85 vs 392.76±43.33 vs 421.75±73.84(P<0.05). The incidence of allogeneic blood transfusion were 18.11%(169/933)vs 17.56%(200/1 139)vs 13.32%(188/1 411)(P<0.01). The allogeneic blood transfusion volume per capita (U) were 6.56±8.33 vs 5.52±6.28 vs 5.56±6.17(P<0.01). 3) The per capita hospital stay (d) and ICU stay (d) were19.54±16.56 vs 16.46±12.06 vs 15.11±10.18 and 4.45±9.31 vs 3.56±6.93 vs 3.26±5.29(P<0.05), respectively. The per capita hospitalization expenses (ten thousand yuan/person) were 10.76±8.39 vs 9.58±7.58 vs 9.13±5.9(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The application of PBM in perioperative blood transfusionfor adult cardiothoracic surgery Ⅲ ~ Ⅳcan significantly decrease the incidence of autologous and allogeneic blood transfusion, the length of hospitalstay and hospitalization expenses.

Objective:To study and train urological resident's laparoscopic operation skills based on retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy.Methods:From January 2011 to January 2020, 121 urology residents were selected to complete the basic skills training including laparoscopic simulator, and gradually engaged in and operated laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for adrenal tumor. The training stage included training and examination of laparoscopic simulator module, establishment of lateral position and puncture hole in lumbar surgery, anatomy of kidney at three levels and exposure and removal of adrenal tumor. The training of four stages was completed by step-by-step advanced assessment.Results:Fifteen doctors could complete laparoscopic adrenalectomy operation under the supervision and guiding of teachers (12.4%), 71 residentss could independently complete the operation requirements in the first three stages (58.7%).Conclusion:The study has proved that the main factors affecting the advanced training of retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy were the operation assessment score of laparoscopic simulator, the duration of the standardized residency training in urology department, the case number of participating in retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and the times that teachers and training residents exchanged the positions of main knife and assistant during the operation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the analgesic mechanism of intrathecal trichostatin A (TSA) injection in a rat model of neuropathic pain induced by chronic constrictive injury (CCI). METHODS: Male SD rats were randomized into sham operation+ DMSO group (group S), CCI +DMSO group (group C), CCI +10 μg TSA group (group T), and in the latter two groups, rat models of neuropathic pain were established induced by CCI. The rats were given intrathecal injections of 10 μL 5% DMSO or 10 μg TSA (in 5% DMSO) once a day on days 7 to 9 after CCI or sham operation. The rats were euthanized after behavioral tests on day 10, and the lumbar segment of the spinal cord was sampled to determine the expression of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) protein and mRNA and detect the differentially expressed miRNAs using a miRNA chip. MiR-190b-5p and miR-142-3p were selected for validation of the results using RT-qPCR. RESULTS: Compared with those in group S, the rats in group C showed significantly decreased paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) from day 3 to day 10 after CCI ( < 0.05); intrathecal injection of TSA significantly reversed the reduction of PWMT following CCI ( < 0.05). Positive HDAC4 expression was detected mainly in the cytoplasm of the neurons in the gray matter of the spinal cord, and was obviously up-regulated after CCI ( < 0.05). Intrathecal injection of TSA significantly suppressed CCI-induced up-regulation of HDAC4 at 10 days after the operation ( < 0.05). Compared with the miRNA profile in group S, miRNA profiling identified 83 differentially expressed miRNAs in group C (fold change ≥2 or ≤0.5, < 0.05); TSA treatment reversed the expressions of 58 of the differentially expressed miRNAs following CCI, including 41 miRNAs that were decreased after CCI but up-regulated following TSA treatment. The results of real-time PCR validated the changes in the expressions of miR-190b-5p and miR-142-3p. CONCLUSIONS TSA suppresses CCI-induced up-regulation of HDAC4 and reverses differential expressions of miRNAs in the spinal cord of rats, which may contribute to the analgesic effect of TSA on neuropathic pain.

Objective: To explore the role of a customized 3D printing guide in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of the 60 patients who had been treated by THA for avascular necrosis of the femoral head at Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to May 2019. Half of them used the personalized 3D printing guide in THA and half did not. In the guide group there were 17 men and 13 women with an age of 53.4±8.9 years while in the conventional group 19 men and 11 women with an age of 54.7±9.4 years. The acetabular cups were orientated at an abduction angle of 40° and an anteversion angle of 15°. The intraoperative blood loss, operation time and acetabular abduction angle were compared between the 2 groups. Results: The 2 groups were comparable due to insignificant differences between them in gender, age, body mass, cause of disease or staging of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (P>0.05). The guide group had significantly less intraoperative blood loss (286.7±150.8 mL) and operation time (90.5±34.4 min) than the conventional group did (438.3±292.6 mL and 115.6±58.6 min) (P< 0.05). The acetabular cup abduction was 38.9°±4.2° in the guide group and 37.2°±5.5° in the conventional group, showing no significant difference(t=1.315, P=0.194). Conclusion Use of a personalized 3D printing guide in THA can shorten the time for installation of an acetabular prosthesis and reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss, but it leads to insignificant difference in the postoperative acetabular cup abduction compared with no use of the guide.

Objective: To summarize and discuss the characteristics of endoscopic approach to manage the middle ear cholesteatoma, and to evaluate the operative safety and outcomes based on the data from the multicenter study. Methods: The data of 242 cases diagnosed with the middle ear cholesteatoma and received operation through endoscopic approach between June 2016 and June 2017 in six tertiary hospitals in China were analyzed in this work. There were 130 males and 112 females, with the age ranging from 3 to 72 years old. We evaluated the strategy about how to manage the cholesteatoma, discussed the detailed techniques about how to remove the cholesteatoma and to improve the efficiency under endoscopic visualization. Meanwhile, the recurrence rate and residual rate of cholesteatoma as well as the complications in endoscopic approach were summarized. Results: A total of 158 cases were operated in exclusively endoscopic transcanal approach, 72 cases operated in combined approach, and 12 cases operated majorly under microscope and minorly under endoscope. 219 cases were operated in one stage surgery, 23 cases received second look. In the second look, 3 cases were detected with residual cholesteatomas. Among them, 2 cases were found by MRI-DWI examination after the first-stage operation. With endoscopic examination after operation, 17 cases showed retracted pocket recurrence (7%,17/242). With introduction of endoscope in cholesteatoma, 153 cases were achieved canal wall-up operation (63%, 153/242). The complications in endoscopic approach included chord tympani never injury in 27 cases, skin injury of ear canal in 11 cases, tinnitus in 13 cases, vertigo in 7 cases, external ear canal stenosis in 1 case. Conclusions Using otoendoscope in cholesteatoma surgery would help keeping the normal structures of middle ear as much as possible, benefit to remove the hiding pathologies, help reducing residual cholesteatoma and lowering the rate of canal wall-down operation as well. This study showed good safety of otoendoscopic cholesteatoma surgery, however, strict evaluation of indication and quite good surgical techniques and skills are necessary for avoiding unexpected complication.
