Objective To investigate the cellular fragments and particle image changes of inventory aleucocytic suspending RBC produced by the storage time extension ,RBC damage or hemolysis in order to provide the revelatory experimental basis for the transfusion safety .Methods The supernatant was prepared from different stored days (3 ,7 ,14 ,21 d) of stock aleukocytic suspen‐ding RBC .The particles in supernatant were observed and morphologically analyzed by using the microscopic static image analytic technology .Results There were a small amounts of visible particles in the sample supernatant preserved for 3 ,7 d and the parti‐cles′sizes are similar to cells′;the number of particles began to significantly increase from 14 d and the diameter became smaller . The particles filled the entire field until 21 d ,showing fragmentary status .Conclusion The cellular fragments and particles in the supernatants of stock aleukocytic suspending RBC with the storage period exceeding 14 d are significantly increased and have signif‐icant difference compared with those stored for less than 14 d .These exogenous fragments and particles may become antigens and induce the body immune response ,lead to transfusion adverse reactions .It is recommended that the patients should be transfused with stock aleukocytic suspending RBC within a storage period of 14 d .

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of continuous regional arterial infusion (CRAI) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods One hundred SAP patients (including 41 gallstone,26 alcoholism,13 hypertriglyceridemia,11 after heavy meals,and 9 unknown) who were admitted into our hospital from January 2013 to October 2017 were assigned to the CRAI group (n =58) and the control group (n =42).The levels of laboratory measurements,hospitalization time and costs,complications and outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results On the sixth and tenth day of treatment,the levels of white blood cell,hemodiastase,urine amylase,blood glucose,blood calcium and APACHE-Ⅱ score improved in both the 2 groups.The degrees of improvement in the CRAI group were better than that in the control group.The abdominal pain relief time [(3.3± 1.2)d vs.(5.9±2.3)d],hemodiastase recovery time [(7.9±1.8)d vs.(13.3±2.5)d],and hospitalization stay [(21.3±3.6)d vs.(32.4±4.3)d] were shorter in the CRAI group.The costs were similar in the two groups.Retroperitoneal infection,pancreatic pseudocyst,and pancreatic drainage were less in the CRAI group.The improved and cure rates were 94.8% and 70.7% in the CRAI group,which were higher than those in the control group (71.4% and 47.6%,respectively).Moreover,the ineffective treatment and mortality rates were 5.2% and 1.7% in the CRAI group,which were lower than those in the control group (28.6% and 14.3%,respectively).Conclusions CRAI was an efficacious and safe treatment for patients with SAP.It can be used as an alternative to other effective treatments.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of sulforaphane (SFN) on proliferation , migration and invasion of human renal carcinoma cells and its mechanism.
Methods:
The cultured human renal carcinoma cells 786⁃O were divided into control group (0 μmol/L) and SFN group (5 , 10 , 20 μmol/L) . The activated proliferation of cells was detected by CCK⁃8 ; the effect of SFN on migration of 786⁃O cells was detected by scratch healing assay and Transwell cell migration assay; the effect of SFN on the invasion ability of 786⁃O cells was detected by Transwell cell invasion ability assay; Western blot and qRT⁃PCR were used to detect the effects of SFN on the expression of epithelial⁃mesenchymal transition (EMT) Ⅳrelated proteins and mRNA. The effect of SFN on the expression of NF⁃κB signaling pathway was detected by Western blot.
Results:
After SFN treatment for 24 , 48 and 72 h , the proliferation activity of 786⁃O cells decreased with the increase of SFN concentration ; compared with the control group , the cell migration and invasion ability of SFN⁃treated group were significantly reduced ; with the increase of SFN concentration , the mRNA and protein expression levels of E ⁃cadherin in 786⁃O cells increased , while the mRNA and protein expression levels of N ⁃cadherin and Vimentin decreased ; the levels of NF⁃κB signaling pathway related protein phosphorylated p65 and phosphorylated IκBα decreased with the increase of SFN concentration.
Conclusion
SFN may inhibit the proliferation , migration and invasion of human renal carcinoma cells by regulating the EMT process of renal carcinoma through inhibition of NF⁃κB signaling pathway.
