Objective: To evaluate the suitability of the existing hemolysis rate standards for locally processed red blood cell components by retrospectively analyzing 5-year hemolysis rate data at the end of storage. Methods: A total of 720 blood samples of three types of red blood cell components from our blood station from January 2019 to December 2023 were collected. Parameters included hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), and free hemoglobin concentration (fHb). Hemolysis rate were taken as the control standard of 0.8% in accordance with the national standard. The hemolysis rates were compared against the national standard threshold of 0.8% (GB18469-2012), and annual trends of the detection parameters were observed. Results: The hemolysis rates (x-+s,%) of leukocyte-depleted whole blood at the end of storage were (0.038±0.023 8) in 2019, (0.049±0.039 5) in 2020, (0.043±0.040 7) in 2021, (0.049±0.030 7) in 2022, and (0.058±0.054 8) in 2023, respectively; The hemolysis rates (x-+s" />,%) of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cells at the end of storage were (0.093±0.050 2) in 2019, (0.086±0.049 5) in 2020, (0.123±0.072 3) in 2021, (0.122±0.052 1) in 2022, and (0.106±0.058 6) in 2023, respectively; The hemolysis rates (x-+s,%) of washed red blood cells at the end of storage were (0.127±0.038 2) in 2019, (0.150±0.066 5) in 2020, (0.121±0.052 2) in 2021, (0.124±0.038 9) in 2022, and (0.128±0.044 3) in 2023, respectively. Conclusion: Hemolysis rates at the end of blood storage of three red blood cell components were significantly lower than the limits specified in Quality Requirements for Whole Blood and Components (GB18469-2012), as well as standards from the EU, AABB and the United States. The results demonstrate excellent product quality control. A regional internal control standard of <0.2% is proposed for hemolysis rates at the end of storage.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of modified Shenqi Pill （肾气丸） plus Tongdu Tiaoshen Acupuncture （通督调神针刺） in the treatment of neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome. MethodsForty-six patients were randomly divided into 23 cases each in the control group and the treatment group. Both groups were given conventional treatment， i.e. oral methylcobalamin tablets （0.5 mg each time， 3 times a day） and paraplegic conventional acupuncture （once a day， 6 consecutive days a week）. The control group was given simple bladder function rehabilitation training on the basis of the conventional treatment； and the treatment group was given modified Shenqi Pill orally （1 dose a day， 150 ml each time， taken warmly in morning and evening） and Tongdu Tiaoshen Acupuncture （once a day， 6 consecutive days per week） in addition to what were given to the control group. The treatment course lasted for 4 weeks. The 24 h urination frequency， 24 h urine leakage frequency， 24 h single urine volume， bladder residual urine volume， international lower urinary tract symptom （LUTS） score， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score were compared between the two groups， and clinical effectiveness and TCM syndrome effectiveness were compared between the two groups after treatment. ResultsTwenty patients in each group were finally analyzed in this study. The number of 24 h urination， the number of 24 h urine leakage， bladder residual urine volume， LUTS score， and the TCM syndrome scores decreased after treatment in both groups， and the 24 h single urine volume increased （P＜0.01）； and much more improvement was found of each index in the treatment group than in the control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The total clinical effectiveness and TCM syndrome effectiveness in the treatment group was 85.00% （17/20） respectively， which were statistically significantly higher than 45.00% （the total clinical effectiveness， 9/20） and 60.00% （TCM syndrome effectiveness， 12/20） in the control group （P＜0.01）. ConclusionModified Shenqi Pill plus Tongdu Tiaoshen Acupuncture can signi-ficantly improve the clinical symptoms of neurogenic bladder patients after spinal cord injury of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome， having better effectiveness than simple bladder function rehabilitation training， and its mechanism may be related to the improvement of the injured nerve function innervating the bladder.

Hepatic encephalopathy （HE） is a common severe liver disease syndrome in clinical practice and is one of the critical and severe diseases in internal medicine， and more than half of liver failure patients diagnosed with overt HE have a survival time of less than 1 year. A comprehensive analysis of the complex pathogenesis of HE and the development of diagnosis and treatment regimens based on evidence-based medicine are of great importance for alleviating high medical resource consumption， high medical expenses， and high incidence and mortality rates in clinical practice. The latest studies have shown that the intestinal tract and the central nervous system can perform bidirectional continuous interaction and signal transmission and regulate the function of inflammation signals， molecules， cells， and organs， which is known as neuroimmune communication and is highly consistent with the main pathological features of HE. With a focus on the mechanism of neuroimmune communication in HE， this article reviews the association between inflammation signal transduction via the gut-brain axis and neurotransmitter regulation and its role in neuroimmune communication in HE， which provides new ideas for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of HE and the research and development of related drugs.

Objective:To explore the prognosis efficacy of psycho-cardiological therapy and management on patients with coronary atherosclerosis disease (CAD).Methods:This was a clinical randomized controlled study. This study included inpatients with CAD at the cardiology department in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from August 2021 to January 2024. The patients enrolled in this study were asked for basic information, and received measurements for depression, anxiety, sleep quality and living quality by the scales of Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), General Anxiety Disorder scale-7 (GAD-7), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), EuroQol 5-dimension 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) respectively. The patients were randomly grouped into a regular treatment group and a psycho-cardiological treatment group which included WeChat management or antidepressant/antianxiety medical therapy according to the situation. After the patients discharging from hospital for 2, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 weeks, professional cardiovascular doctors would follow up by telephone, WeChat, and outpatient department, including scales (2-48 weeks), and cardiac events (2-96 weeks). Kaplan-Meier survival curve and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model were used for analyzing the association between psycho-cardiological treatment and cardiac events.Results:This study recruited a total of 552 patients with CAD, aged 61.0(54.0, 67.0) years, and 379 (68.7%) were male. There were 279(50.5%) in the regular treatment group and 273(49.5%) in the psycho-cardiological treatment group. After treatment for 4, 12 and 48 weeks, the PHQ-9 score in psycho-cardiological was significantly lower than the regular treatment group; After treatment for 12 weeks, the EQ-5D-5L effective value in psycho-cardiological group was higher than the regular treatment group; After treatment for 2, 4, 12, 24 and 48 weeks, the EQ-5D-5L VAS score in psycho-cardiological group was higher than the regular therapy group (all P<0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that, during the different follow-up periods, the rate of cardiac events in psycho-cardiological treatment group was lower than regular treatment group (log-rank P<0.001). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model adjusted the factor of age, the psycho-cardiological treatment contributed to reducing the cardiac events rate by 80.3% ( HR=0.197, 95% CI: 0.067-0.582, P=0.003). Conclusion:Psycho-cardiological treatment is beneficial for improving psychological stress, living quality, and reducing cardiac events, and helps to improve prognosis and psycho-cardiological rehabilitation in CAD patients.

Objective To construct a rehabilitation nursing program for stroke patients based on the international classification of functioning, disability and health (ICF). Methods The relevant domestic and foreign literatures were systematically searched, and a draft of the rehabilitation nursing program for stroke patients based on the 17 functional items in the four dimensions of ICF functional evaluation was constructed. The Delphi method was used to consult experts to further improve the program. Results A total of 16 experts completed two rounds of expert consultation. The expert authority coefficients of the first and second rounds of consultation were 0.897 and 0.897, respectively, with coefficient of variations ranging from 0.05 to 0.27 and 0.05 to 0.19, respectively. The Kendall's W coefficients were 0.384 and 0.452 (χ²=104.375, 122.831, P < 0.001), respectively. In the final rehabilitation nursing program for stroke patients, there were four first-level indicators (functional domains), 17 second-level indicators (intervention contents), and 73 third-level indicators (specific measures). Conclusion The rehabilitation nursing program for stroke patients based on ICF is scientific and reliable, and may provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the rehabilitation nursing of clinical stroke patients.

Objective To explore the correlations of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) with grading of myelofibrosis (MF) in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Methods Ninety patients with Philadelphia chromosome negative (Ph-)MPN were selected as MPN group. According to the grading criteria for myelofibrosis by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016, MPN patients were divided into pre-fibrosis or early fibrosis group with 54 cases and significant fibrosis group with 36 cases; another 50 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. Levels of serum VEGF, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the ratio of TIMP-1 to MMP-9 (TIMP-1/MMP-9) was calculated. Spearman rank correlation test was used to analyze the correlations of VEGF, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-1/MMP-9 with MF grading. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of each indicator alone or their combination for diagnosing MPN or distinguishing MF grading. Results Compared with the control group, the serum levels of VEGF, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the MPN group increased significantly (P < 0.05). Values of area under the curve (AUC) of VEGF, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-1/MMP-9 for diagnosing MPN were 0, 834, 0.745, 0.923 and 0.618 respectively; the AUC of the combined diagnosis of MPN by VEGF, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 was 0.960; when the optimal cut-off value was 0.627, the sensitivity was 85.56%, and the specificity was 92.00%. Compared with the pre-fibrosis or early fibrosis group, the serum levels of VEGF, TIMP-1 and TIMP-1/MMP-9 in the significant fibrosis group increased significantly (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that VEGF (r=0.378, P=0.001), TIMP-1 (r=0.512, P < 0.001) and TIMP-1/MMP-9 (r=0.353, P=0.001) were positively correlated with the MF grading of MPN patients (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the values of AUC of VEGF, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-1/MMP-9 for distinguishing patients with pre-fibrosis or early fibrosis from those with significant fibrosis were 0.723, 0.523, 0.802 and 0.708 respectively; the AUC of the combined detection of VEGF, TIMP-1 and TIMP-1/MMP-9 for distinguishing patients with pre-fibrosis or early fibrosis from those with significant fibrosis was 0.838; when the optimal cut-off value was 0.530, the sensitivity was 72.22%, and the specificity was 85.19%. Conclusion Serum VEGF, TIMP-1 and TIMP-1/MMP-9 can reflect the MF progression of MPN patients, and the combined detection of these indicators can predict the MF degree of MPN patients.

Objective To isolate the secondary metabolites of endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. J218 from Anectochilus roxburhii. Methods Different chromatographic methods, including Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel chromatography as well as HPLC, were used to isolate compounds from the EtOAc fraction of the solid fermentation of J218, and their structures were identified by spectral methods. Results Ten compounds were isolated from the fermentation of J218 and their structures were individually identified as kotanin（1）, flavasperone（2）, aurasperone B（3）, fonsecinone B（4）, fonsecinone D（5）, ensidol A（6）, fonsecinone A（7）, fonsecinone C（8）, aurasperone A（9）, and fonsecinone F（10）. Conclusion Most compounds isolated from endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. J218 in Anectochilus roxburhii were identified as dimeric naphthopyrones. These results suggest that this strain contains rich dimerization synthase, which could provide clues for the further exploration of the rational biosynthesis pathway of dimeric naphthopyrones in this strain.

【Objective】 To evaluate the quality of platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared by traditional and modified buffy coat centrifugal canning methods, and to explore the effect of modified buffy coat centrifugal canning method on improving the quality of PCs. 【Methods】 The buffy coat centrifugal canning methods was divided into traditional group and modified group. In the traditional group, the buffy coat component bag and empty bag were directly combined layer by layer and vertically canned for light centrifugation. In the modified group, a foam spacer was added between the buffy coat component bag and the empty bag for light centrifugation layer by layer. The effects of the two groups of centrifugal canning methods on the preparation quality of PCs were observed. 【Results】 The platelet content in PCs prepared by the modified buffy coat centrifugal canning method was significantly higher than that in the traditional group, and the mixed amount of red blood cells was lower than that in the traditional group (P<0.05). Although there was no statistically significant difference in the qualified rate of platelet content between the two groups (P>0.05), the qualified rates of platelet content and mixed red blood cell in the modified group were higher than those in the traditional group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The modified centrifugal canning method with buffy coat can improve the quality of PCs, which is convenient and cheap, and is worth popularizing.

Colorectal serrated lesions are a group of polyps/adenomas with serrated architecture, including hyperplastic polyp, sessile serrated lesion and sessile serrated lesion with dysplasia, traditional serrated adenoma, and unclassified serrated adenoma. Sessile serrated lesion and traditional serrated adenoma are precursors of serrated lesions progressing to colorectal cancer. Serrated lesions are characterized by genetic (BRAF or KRAS gene mutations) and epigenetic (CpG island methylator phenotype) alterations that synergistically drive colorectal mucosa to develop polyps or adenomas, and with malignant transformation into colorectal cancer. The complexity of serrated lesion makes it difficult to diagnose, easy to miss diagnosis and has a high malignant rate. This article reviewed the advances in research on colorectal serrated lesions from the aspects of endoscopic, pathological and molecular features.

This study aimed to explore the prevalence and risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and psychological distress among female scientists and technicians in China. Accordingly, we included scientists and technicians from representative research institutions, medical institutions, colleges, universities, and businesses in China, and the data were collected from July 1, 2019 to March 31, 2021 via online questionnaires. The parameters evaluated in this study included age, sex, marital status, educational background, monthly income, sleep hours, sleep problems, smoking, alcohol consumption, work-related stress, work burnout, cardiovascular symptoms, CVD, family history, and depressive and anxiety symptoms. A total of 14 530 scientists and technicians were included, comprising 7144 men and 7386 women. We found 34.9% men and 16.6% women with CVD, 35.1% men and 21.4% women with depressive symptoms, 28.7% men and 13.8% women with anxiety symptoms, and 22.0% men and 9.5% women with CVD combined with depressive or anxiety symptoms. This study focused on the details of women. Younger women (age≤35 years) had the highest prevalence of depressive symptoms (24.9%), anxiety symptoms (16.2%), and comorbidity (11.2%). It was established that, despite traditional risk factors, unmanageable work burnout, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms were associated with a higher risk of CVD in women; insomnia, overwhelming work stress, unmanageable work burnout, and CVD were linked to a higher risk of depressive symptoms and anxiety; insomnia, overwhelming work stress, and unmanageable work burnout were related to CVD combined with depressive or anxiety symptoms. A bidirectional relationship was noted between CVD and depression or anxiety in female scientists and technicians, and insomnia and overwhelming work stress were positively associated with comorbidity. It is suggested that effective measures should be taken to protect female scientists and technicians from CVD and psychological distress.
