[Objective] To analyze the influencing factors of repeat blood donor lapsing using a zero-inflated poisson regression model (ZIP). [Methods] The blood donation behavior of 12 498 whole blood donors from 2020 was tracked until December 31, 2023. The factors influencing the frequency of blood donations in a given year was analyzed using ZIP, and donors with 0 blood donation in that year were considered to have lapsed. The changes in relevant influencing factors associated with each blood donation were measured and modeled for analysis. [Results] The zero-inflated part of ZIP showed that the risk of lapsing of male blood donors was 2.24 times that of female blood donors (OR 95% CI:1.864-2.696, P<0.001); the risk of lapsing of the 35-44 age group and over 45 age group was respectively 40% (OR 95% CI:0.455-0.790, P<0.001) and 61%(OR 95% CI:0.268-0.578, P<0.001) lower than that of the under 25 age group; the risk of lapsing for those who have donated blood twice and ≥3 times was respectively 50% (OR 95% CI:0.405-0.609, P<0.001) and 81% (OR 95% CI:0.154-0.225, P<0.001) lower than that of first-time donors; the risk of lapsing of those with junior high or high school education was 1.2 times that of those with a college degree or higher (OR 95% CI:1.033-1.384, P<0.05); the risk of lapsing for the divorced group was 2.02 times that of the married group (OR 95% CI:1.445-2.820, P<0.001); the risk of lapsing for those with an income (Yuan) of 10 000 to 50 000, 50 000 to 100 000 and more than 100 000 was respectively 0.67 (OR 95% CI:0.552-0.818, P<0.001), 0.72 (OR 95% CI:0.591-0.884, P=0.002) and 0.67 (OR 95% CI:0.535-0.834, P<0.001) times that of those with an income (Yuan) of less than 10 000. The results of the Poisson part are consistent with the results of the zero-inflated part in terms of age and education level. [Conclusion] Blood donor lapsing is overall related to factors such as gender, age, donation frequency, education, marital status and family income. It's essential to care for those blood donors prone to lapse to retain more regular blood donors.

ObjectiveTo analyze the safety of simultaneous vaccination of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and oral pentavalent human rotavirus live attenuated vaccine (RV5) in age-eligible children in Changning District, Shanghai. MethodsAdverse events following immunization (AEFI) and vaccination information after PCV13 and RV5 vaccination from Jan.1, 2022 to Dec.31, 2023 were collected through the National Immunization Program Information Management System and the Shanghai Immunization Information System in Changning District. We compared the incidence rates of AEFI reports after PCV13 and RV5 standalone and simultaneous vaccination. ResultsPCV13 was administered standalone in 7 654 doses, with 107 AEFI reports and an AEFI reporting rate of 1 397.96/100 000, including 1 371.83/100 000 for general reactions (105 cases) and 26.13/100 000 for abnormal reactions (2 cases). RV5 was administered standalone in 8 114 doses, with 30 AEFI reports and an AEFI reporting rate of 369.73/100 000, all of which were general reactions. PCV13 and RV5 were administered simultaneously in 6 731 doses, with 56 AEFI reports and an AEFI reporting rate of 831.97/100 000, including 802.26/100 000 for general reactions (54 cases), 14.86/100 000 for abnormal reactions (1 case), and 14.86/100 000 for coupling symptoms (1 case). ConclusionThe incidence rates of AEFI reports after PCV13 and RV5 vaccination standalone or simultaneous among age-eligible children in Changning District are within an acceptable range, primarily consisting of general reactions. PCV13 and RV5 simultaneous vaccination did not increase the risk of AEFI incidence.

Objective: To investigate the current status of iron metabolism among apheresis donors in Guangzhou and analyze the improvement effects of health education on iron deficiency in frequent apheresis donors. Methods: Using a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM), a 180-day follow-up was conducted on 261 eligible apheresis donors at the Guangzhou Blood Center from January to July 2024. Hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF), unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC), total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation (TS) were selected as outcome variables. The effects of gender, age group, and number of donations within 180 days on these outcomes were analyzed and modeled. A general linear model (GLM) with repeated measures was applied to 55 donors who received health education interventions, comparing changes in Hb and iron metabolism-related indicators before and after follow-up and health education. Results: No significant difference in Hb levels was observed between first-time and regular apheresis donors, but SF levels were significantly higher in first-time donors (F=6.195, P<0.05). The GLMM revealed that female donors exhibited more significant reductions in Hb (T=-12.546) and SF (T=-5.829)(P<0.05 for both). Age group showed no interactive effects on Hb or SF changes. While number of donations within 180 days had no interactive effect on Hb, SF levels significantly decreased with increased number of donations (using ≥9 donations as the reference group; P<0.05 for all groups). After health education, Hb levels remained unchanged, but SF increased compared to pre-intervention levels (mean difference: -18.571, P<0.05), though a declining trend persisted compared to baseline (mean difference from baseline to post-intervention: 23.068,P<0.05). Conclusion: Female and number of donations are primary factors contributing to SF reduction in apheresis donors. Health education interventions promote SF recovery. Extending donation intervals and reinforcing iron deficiency-related health education may improve iron status in donors.

Objective: To preliminarily develop a multidimensional blood donor role scale based on role theory and systematically compare the psychosocial characteristic differences between award-winning donors and first-time donors in Guangzhou, and to provide an empirical reference for formulating differentiated donor retention strategies. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was adopted. A random sample of award-winning donors and concurrently sampled first-time donors yielding 1 361 valid responses collected (721 from the award group, 640 from the first-time group). Exploratory factor analysis was used to assess the scale structure. Data were post-stratified and weighted according to the gender and age distributions of the general donor population. Independent samples t-tests, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), and generalized linear models were employed to compare dimensional scores between the two groups. A paired t-test was conducted to analyze the annual donation frequency of award-winning donors before and after receiving the award. Results: Exploratory factor analysis yielded a 5-factor structure, including Role Identity and Expectations, Role Adaptation and Maintenance, Role Environment and Experience, Role Relationships and Conflict, and Role Incentives and Rewards, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 56.43%. The scale demonstrated good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α=0.906). Known-group validity test showed that award-winning donors scored significantly higher than first-time donors on Role Identity and Expectations (t=4.366, P<0.001, d=0.240), Role Adaptation and Maintenance (t=5.436, P<0.001, d=0.500), and Role Relationships and Conflict (t=4.844, P<0.001, d=0.220). These differences remained significant after controlling for selected demographic variables (MANCOVA, Wilks' λ=0.943, P<0.001). Generalized linear models suggested that donation frequency was an independent predictor for these dimensions. Additionally, the annual donation frequency of award-winning donors was slightly higher after receiving the award than before (t=2.007, P=0.045). Conclusion: The preliminary blood donor role scale demonstrates acceptable reliability and validity and can effectively distinguish groups with different donation behavior characteristics. The study reveals that award-winning donors exhibit more positive psychological characteristics across multiple role identity dimensions and maintain their donation behavior after receiving an award. External incentives and internal role identity may jointly contribute to behavioral persistence. The findings provide a preliminary reference for further exploring the formation pathways of donor role identity and developing differentiated donor retention strategies.

Inhibiting the death receptor 3(DR3)signaling pathway in group 3 innate lymphoid cells(ILC3s)pre-sents a promising approach for promoting mucosal repair in individuals with ulcerative colitis(UC).Paeoniflorin,a prominent component of Paeonia lactiflora Pall.,has demonstrated the ability to restore barrier function in UC mice,but the precise mechanism remains unclear.In this study,we aimed to delve into whether paeoniflorin may promote intestinal mucosal repair in chronic colitis by inhibiting DR3 signaling in ILC3s.C57BL/6 mice were subjected to random allocation into 7 distinct groups,namely the control group,the 2％dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)group,the paeoniflorin groups(25,50,and 100 mg/kg),the anti-tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1A(anti-TL1A)antibody group,and the IgG group.We detected the expression of DR3 signaling pathway proteins and the proportion of ILC3s in the mouse colon using Western blot and flow cytometry,respectively.Meanwhile,DR3-overexpressing MNK-3 cells and 2％ DSS-induced Rag1-/-mice were used for verification.The results showed that paeoniflorin alleviated DSS-induced chronic colitis and repaired the intestinal mucosal barrier.Simultaneously,paeoniflorin inhibited the DR3 signaling pathway in ILC3s and regulated the content of cytokines(interleukin-17A,granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor,and interleukin-22).Alternatively,paeoniflorin directly inhibited the DR3 signaling pathway in ILC3s to repair mucosal damage indepen-dently of the adaptive immune system.We additionally confirmed that paeoniflorin-conditioned me-dium(CM)restored the expression of tight junctions in Caco-2 cells via coculture.In conclusion,paeoniflorin ameliorates chronic colitis by enhancing the intestinal barrier in an ILC3-dependent manner,and its mechanism is associated with the inhibition of the DR3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To observe the effects of nutritional status on the surgical outcomes, nutritional indicators, and renal anemia of maintenance hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism undergoing parathyroidectomy.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 35 patients who underwent maintenance hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism at Huadu District People′s Hospital of Guangzhou from January 2016 to January 2021. All patients underwent total parathyroidectomy with autologous forearm transplantation due to ineffective drug treatment. Before surgery, patients were divided into three groups based on their nutritional status scores: no malnutrition group (0-1 points), mild malnutrition group (2-4 points), and moderate to severe malnutrition group (5-12 points). The changes in serum parathyroid hormone, blood calcium, blood phosphorus, blood albumin, and other indicators were observed at different time points before and after surgery in different groups of patients.Results:The serum parathyroid hormone, blood phosphorus, and calcium phosphorus product of maintenance hemodialysis patients with different nutritional status who underwent parathyroidectomy at 3, 6, and 12 months were significantly decreased compared with preoperative levels, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no significant changes in albumin, lymphocyte count, and total cholesterol levels in patients without malnutrition at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P>0.05); The lymphocyte count of patients with mild malnutrition increased significantly at 6 and 12 months after surgery compared to preoperative levels (all P<0.05). The levels of albumin and total cholesterol in patients with moderate to severe malnutrition increased significantly at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P<0.05). The Hb levels of patients without malnutrition and those with mild malnutrition increased significantly at 6 and 12 months after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P<0.05); The Hb levels of patients with moderate to severe malnutrition increased significantly at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Nutritional status affects the long-term outcomes of parathyroidectomy in hemodialysis patients, and parathyroidectomy can significantly improve the nutritional and anemia status of hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. This effect is more pronounced in patients with moderate to severe malnutrition before surgery.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the longitudinal change trajectory of white blood cell (WBC) and new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:It was a prospective cohort study. A total of 2 792 people who underwent health examinations at the Health Management Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2019 to December 2023 for five consecutive years and met the research standards were selected as the study subjects. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was established. The target population was divided into three groups based on the longitudinal change trajectory of WBC: low-stable group, medium-stable group and high-stable group. The cumulative incidence of T2DM in the three groups were analyzed. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression models were used to analyze the correlation between different WBC trajectory groups and the risk of T2DM in total population, males and females. A restricted cubic spline regression (RCS) model was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between baseline WBC and risk of T2DM.Results:The cumulative incidence rate of T2DM in low-stable group, medium-stable group and high-stable group increased gradually, which was 2.5%, 5.3% and 6.9%, respectively ( χ2=19.024, P<0.001). After adjusting for multiple confounding factors in the Cox proportional hazards regression model, no significant difference in the incidence risk of T2DM among the three WBC trajectory groups in males; While the hazard ratios in the high-stable and medium-stable group in women was 2.852(95% CI: 1.067-7.628) and 2.588 (95% CI: 1.133-5.912), respectively, when compared with that in the low-stable group (both P<0.05). RCS curve analysis showed a linear relationship between WBC and the risk of T2DM in female ( Pnon-linear=0.956), when the WBC count was>5.53×10 9/L, the risk of T2DM increased with the rise of WBC. Conclusion:Higher WBC trajectory is positively correlated with the risk of new-onset T2DM in female health examination population.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine combined with esketamine on the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric volume reduction surgery.Methods A total of 136 patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric volume reduction surgery,including 41 males and 95 females,aged 18-64 years,BMI 30-45 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,were random-ly divided into four groups:dexmedetomidine combined with esketamine group(group DE),esketamine group(group E),dexmedetomidine group(group D),and control group(group C),34 patients in each group.In groups DE and D,a loading dose of dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was infused intravenously over 10 minutes before induction,followed by a continuous infusion of 0.4 μg·kg-1·h-1 until 40 minutes before the end of surgery.In groups DE and E,a loading dose of esketamine 0.5 mg/kg was injected intra-venously at induction,followed by a continuous infusion of 0.1 mg·kg-1·h-1 until 40 minutes before the end of surgery.Equal volumes of normal saline were given to group C at the same time points.The 40-item quality of recovery scores(QoR-40)24 hours before surgery and 24 hours after surgery were recorded.The dosage of intraoperative propofol and remifentanil,the dosage of dezocine within 24 hours after surgery,ex-tubation time after surgery,the time of first getting out of bed and the time of first anal exhaust after surgery were recorded.The resting visual analogue scale(VAS)pain scores were recorded at the moment of extuba-tion,2,6,12,and 24 hours after surgery.The occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting,agitation,hypoxemia,and pneumonia were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the QoR-40 scores in groups DE,E,and D were significantly increased 24 hours after surgery(P<0.05),the dosage of intraoperative propofol and remifentanil,the dosage of dezocine within 24 hours after surgery were significantly reduced,the time of first getting out of bed and the time of first anal exhaust after surgery were significantly shortened in group DE(P<0.05),the resting VAS pain scores at the moment of extubation,2,6,and 12 hours after surgery were significantly decreased in groups DE and E(P<0.05),the resting VAS pain scores at the moment of extubation and 2 hours after surgery were significantly decreased in group D(P<0.05).Compared with group D,the QoR-40 scores were significantly increased 24 hours after sur-gery,the dosage of intraoperative propofol was significantly reduced,and the resting VAS pain scores 2,6,and 12 hours after surgery were significantly decreased in group DE(P<0.05).Compared with group E,the QoR-40 scores were significantly increased 24 hours after surgery,the dosage of intraoperative propofol was significantly reduced,and the resting VAS pain scores 2,6 hours after surgery were significantly de-creased in group DE(P<0.05).There were no statistically differences in resting VAS pain scores 24 hours after surgery,and the occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions among the four groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine combined with esketamine relieves postoperative pain,enhances the quality of postoper-ative recovery,and promotes rapid rehabilitation in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric volume reduction surgery.

As a malignant hematological disease mainly originating from T or B lymphoid progenitor cell, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is more prevalent in children. With the gradual revelation of the autophagy mechanism, the role of autophagy in ALL has gained increasing attention. Autophagy can not only stimulate the survival of leukemia cells as an adaptive response, but also inhibit cell proliferation in some other cases. Therefore, how to regulate autophagy in promoting death or survival and reduce the drug resistance in ALL has become a hotspot. This article reviews the role of autophagy in ALL.

Objective:To explore potential predictors of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) in early stage. Methods:The prospective multicenter study was conducted in Zhejiang, China from May 1 st, 2019 to January 31 st, 2020. A total of 1 428 patients with fever >48 hours to <120 hours were studied. Their clinical data and oral pharyngeal swab samples were collected; Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA in pharyngeal swab specimens was detected. Patients with positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA results underwent a series of tests, including chest X-ray, complete blood count, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and procalcitonin. According to the occurrence of RMPP, the patients were divided into two groups, RMPP group and general Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (GMPP) group. Measurement data between the 2 groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations between clinical data and RMPP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyse the power of the markers for predicting RMPP. Results:A total of 1 428 patients finished the study, with 801 boys and 627 girls, aged 4.3 (2.7, 6.3) years. Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA was positive in 534 cases (37.4%), of whom 446 cases (83.5%) were diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, including 251 boys and 195 girls, aged 5.2 (3.3, 6.9) years. Macrolides-resistant variation was positive in 410 cases (91.9%). Fifty-five cases were with RMPP, 391 cases with GMPP. The peak body temperature before the first visit and LDH levels in RMPP patients were higher than that in GMPP patients (39.6 (39.1, 40.0) vs. 39.2 (38.9, 39.7) ℃, 333 (279, 392) vs. 311 (259, 359) U/L, both P<0.05). Logistic regression showed the prediction probability π=exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004×LDH (U/L))/(1+exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004 × LDH (U/L))), the cut-off value to predict RMPP was 0.12, with a consensus of probability forecast of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.89, and specificity of 0.67; and the area under ROC curve was 0.682 (95% CI 0.593-0.771, P<0.01). Conclusion:In MPP patients with fever over 48 to <120 hours, a prediction probability π of RMPP can be calculated based on the peak body temperature and LDH level before the first visit, which can facilitate early identification of RMPP.
