Objective:Through histological analysis, immunofluorescence staining, electrophysiological detection and Sensory and motor function evaluation to investigate the effects of 3D printed hydrogel scaffold combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in promoting functional recovery of spinal cord injury.Methods:10% GelMA hydrogel and 10 6 U stem cell suspension were prepared into bioink of appropriate concentration to construct the biomimetic spinal cord scaffold through 3D printing platform. The scaffold was placed in the medium and cultured in an environment of 37 ℃ CO 2 incubator. The microstructure of the scaffolds and the distribution of BMSC in the scaffolds was observed by scanning electron microscope. CAM/PI staining and confocal microscopy were used to observe the survival of stem cells in the scaffolds and determine the biocompatibility of the scaffolds. The scaffolds were implanted into the subcutaneous tissues of the back of rats, and the subcutaneous tissues were determined by HE staining to detect the immunogenicity of the scaffolds. After the rat model of hemicytoma defect was made, stents were transplanted for treatment, and confocal microscopy was used to evaluate the regeneration of neurons and axons in local area of spinal cord injury. At the same time, BBB score was used to evaluate motor function, mechanical pain score was used to evaluate sensory function, and surface electrode detection method was used to evaluate electrophysiological recovery weekly. Results:The long spindle shaped BSMC were uniformly distributed in the scaffold with a loose reticular structure. The scaffolds had good biocompatibility, and the cell survival rate of the prepared scaffolds reached 96% after 24 hours of printing. After 28 days of subcutaneous transplantation, the immune rejection was mild and immunogenicity was low. It was shown that the regenerated spinal cord tissue in the treatment group was significantly increased compared with the control group, which was widely distributed with cells after 28 days by HE staining. It was confirmed that part of the regenerated spinal cord tissue was neurons by immunohistochemical staining.Compared with the injured group, the regeneration of neurons and axons in the treatment group were significantly increased by immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy. In the treatment group, the BBB score recovered to 10 points, while the control group only recovered to about 1 point in the first week, which was statistically significant. And it recovered to 17 in the fourth week, while the control group only recovered to about 4 point in the four week, which was statistically significant. The Angle of inclined plate support of the treatment group was restored to 40 degrees, while it was only restored to 22 degrees in the control group. The pain threshold of the treatment group decreased to 18.5 points, which was not statistically different from that of the control group. The latent recovery effect of electrophysiology in the treatment group was the same as that in the sham operation group and better than that in the control group.Conclusion:3D printing hydrogel scaffold with loose network structure is suitable for cell proliferation. It has well biological survival, low cytotoxicity and low immunogenicity, which promoted neurons and axons to recovery and extend so as to effectively promote the recovery of motor function, sensory function and neural signal transmission rate after spinal cord injury.

Local maxima in multimodality image registration based on mutual information is discussed in this paper. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and filter preprocessing based on hamming window is used to search the registration parameters. Simulations have been done to illustrate that after low-pass filter preprocessing local maxima is eliminated to a great extent. In most case the global maxima can be found by PSO. Simulations illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of this method in registration strategy.

Objective To observe the effect of deglycerolized red blood cells suspended in MAP on preservation and ex-plore the most effective preservation method.Methods Concentrated red blood cells were prepared by centrifuging 400 mL of whole blood on the third day after collection.40%compound glycerol solution was added using the ACP 215 automatic blood cell analyzer,and the resulting mixture was stored in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at-65℃for 30 days.After thawing and washing,it was equally separated into two bags.The control group received 0.9%sodium chloride solution,while the experimental group received MAP.Both groups were stored at 2-6℃.Hematological parameters,hemolysis inde-xes and cell metabolism indexes were measured on day 0,1,3,5,7 and 14 after storage.The quality changes of both groups were observed during the 14-day storage period.Results The quality of red blood cells in both groups was assessed through a panel of quality tests,including volume,hemoglobin content,free hemoglobin content,white blood cell residue,glycerin residue and sterility.These results met the Quality Requirements outlined in the"Quality Requirements of Whole Blood and Component Blood"(GB18469-2012),Hematocrit,red blood cell count,Hb recovery rate after washing and MCV meet the detection limit outlined in the"Expert Consensus on Quality Evaluation Indicators for Frozen Red Blood Cells",and the residual amount of platelets exceeds the detection limit(≤1%).There were no significant differences in RBC,Hct,MCV and hemoglobin between the two groups during the 14 day storage period.The level of free hemoglobin,hemolysis rate and K+value increased in both groups over time.Significant differences in free hemoglobin were found on day 3,5,7 and 14 between the two groups(P<0.05).Hemolysis rate was significantly different on days 3,5,7 and 14,while K+value was significantly different only on day 14(P<0.05).On day 14,the osmotic fragility of red blood cells was higher in the control group than in the experimental group(P<0.05);The ATP and pH values of both groups decreased as storage time in-creased,and significant differences in ATP and pH value were found on day 3,5,7 and on day 1,3,5,7 and 14,respec-tively(P<0.05).Conclusion Deglycerolized red blood cells suspended in MAP additive solution can extend the storage period of blood to 7 days.This study provides a reference for the formulation of relevant standards.

Objective:To collect and analyze laboratory indicators of patients of different sexes after blood transfusion, evaluate the effectiveness of blood transfusion, and provide a theoretical basis for formulating more scientific blood transfusion plans.Methods:The clinical data of 808 patients who underwent blood transfusion in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the blood transfusion strategy and the department to which the patients were admitted, these patients were divided into four groups: surgical restrictive blood transfusion group (group A: 72 males and 69 females), surgical non-restricted blood transfusion (group B: 77 males and 118 females), medical restrictive blood transfusion (group C: 184 males and 126 females), and medical non-restricted blood transfusion (group D: 110 males and 52 females). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed.Results:In group A, after blood transfusion, hemoglobin level in female patients was significantly higher than that in male patients [79.0 (71.5, 87.0) g/L vs. 75.5 (69.0, 82.8) g/L, Z = -2.18, P = 0.029], and C-reactive protein in female patients was significantly lower than that in male patients [21.3 (0.0, 56.0) mg/L vs. 37.0 (3.3, 95.5) mg/L, Z = -1.97, P = 0.049]. In groups B, C, and D, there were no significant differences in hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, and hematocrit between male and female patients (all P > 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the difference in hemoglobin levels between before and after blood transfusion was statistically significant ( P = 0.009). After a blood transfusion, hemoglobin level in female patients was 1.44 times that in male patients. Conclusion:The tolerance of female patients to blood loss is higher than that of male patients in surgical restrictive blood transfusion, so the threshold value of hemoglobin given to female patients during blood transfusion can be lower than that of male patients. In the case of the same blood loss, priority of blood transfusion can be given to male patients. In the case of scarce blood resources, the total amount of blood transfused for female patients can be approximately reduced.
