In maintaining normal function and activation processes, glycolysis, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism play key roles in the energy demand of platelets. In the resting state, platelets primarily rely on glycolysis and aerobic oxidation to generate energy. Upon activation, platelets preferentially utilize glycolysis, as it can more rapidly provide the required ATP. In addition to glycolysis, platelets can also utilize glycogen and fatty acids as additional energy sources. The ATP provided by fatty acid oxidation is crucial for platelet activation. Additionally, during platelet storage, distinctive changes in energy metabolism occur. In the early stages of storage, platelets primarily rely on glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) to generate energy. In the mid-storage phase, there is an increase in tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) metabolism. In the later stages of storage, cellular metabolism gradually declines. The regulation and flexibility of these metabolic pathways play a critical role in the survival and function of platelets in different states.

BackgroundWith the rapid development of the networking technologies, internet addiction has increasingly become a serious mental health issue. Previous studies have revealed the link between childhood trauma and internet addiction, while the mediating role of perceived stress in this link is not yet clear. ObjectiveTo investigate the role of medical students' perceived stress in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet addiction, so as to provide references for the intervention of internet addiction. MethodsFrom February to March 2023, a random sampling technique was used to select 1 232 undergraduate students from the School of Clinical Medical Sciences of Southwest Medical University as research subjects. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Internet Gaming Disorder Scale (IGDS), and Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) were used for assessment. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated. The mediation effect of perceived stress in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet addiction was tested using Model 4 in the SPSS Process 4.1, and Bootstrapping procedure involving 5 000 replicates was employed to confirm the statistical significance. ResultsA total of 1 016 (82.47%) valid completed questionnaires were gathered. The CTQ-SF scores of medical students were positively correlated with PSS scores, IGD scores, and BSMAS scores (r=0.583, 0.474, 0.465, P<0.01). PSS scores were positively correlated with IGD scores and BSMAS scores (r=0.369, 0.479, P<0.01). Childhood trauma in medical students was found to positively predict perceived stress (β=0.191, P<0.01), social media addiction (β=0.160, P<0.01), and internet gaming disorder (β=0.106, P<0.01). Perceived stress played a significant mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and internet gaming disorder, indirect effect value was 0.018 (95% CI: 0.009~0.027), accounting for 16.98%. Perceived stress also exhibited a significant mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and social media addiction, indirect effect value was 0.063 (95% CI: 0.048~0.079), accounting for 39.38%. ConclusionChildhood trauma in medical students may affect internet gaming disorder and social media addiction through perceived stress.

Objective: To accurately determine the ABO blood group of samples exhibiting forward/reverse grouping discrepancies by combining first-generation (Sanger) and third-generation (long-read) sequencing technologies. Methods: Five samples with ABO forward/reverse grouping discrepancies were selected. Serological testing was conducted using automated blood typing instruments and the tube method. Genotyping was conducted using both Sanger and long-read sequencing technologies. Results: Sanger sequencing identified specific genetic mutations in two samples, with genotypes of ABO
BA. 04/ABO
O.01.01 and ABO
B3.05/ABO
O.01.02. Further analysis with long-read sequencing revealed specific mutations in the +5.8kb region of intron 1 (c.28+5885C>T and c.28+5861T>G) in three samples where mutations were not detected by Sanger sequencing. These mutations affect the expression of the ABO antigens and are likely responsible for the ABO subgroup phenotypes. Conclusion: The integration of Sanger and long-read sequencing technologies effectively identifies genetic variations causing ABO subtypes, providing a scientific basis for enhancing clinical transfusion safety and ensuring accurate blood group determination.

The Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog ( KRAS ) mutation is one of the most prevalent activating alterations in cancer. It indicates a poor overall prognosis due to its highly invasive nature. Although several KRAS inhibitors have been developed in recent years, a significant clinical challenge has emerged as a substantial proportion of patients eventually develop resistance to these therapies. Therefore, identifying determinants of drug resistance is critical for guiding treatment strategies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mutation landscape and molecular mechanisms of KRAS activity in various cancers. Meanwhile, it summaries the progress and prospects of small molecule KRAS inhibitors undergoing clinical trials. Furthemore, this review explores potential strategies to overcome drug resistance, with the ultimate goal of steering toward patient-centric precision oncology in the foreseeable future.

Metastasis serves as an indicator of malignancy and is a biological characteristic of carcinomas. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in the promotion of tumor invasion and metastasis and in the enhancement of tumor cell aggressiveness. Prostaglandin E synthase 3 (p23) is a cochaperone for heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). Our previous study showed that p23 is an HSP90-independent transcription factor in cancer-associated inflammation. The effect and mechanism of action of p23 on lung cancer metastasis are tested in this study. By utilizing cell models in vitro and mouse tail vein metastasis models in vivo, the results provide solid evidence that p23 is critical for promoting lung cancer metastases by regulating downstream CXCL1 expression. Rather than acting independently, p23 forms a complex with RNA-binding motif protein 14 (RBM14) to facilitate EMT progression in lung cancer. Therefore, our study provides evidence for the potential role of the RBM14-p23-CXCL1-EMT axis in the metastasis of lung cancer.

Objective: To analyze changes in Rh system antibodies among antibody-positive patients and evaluate the efficacy of Rh phenotype-matched electronic cross-matching (hereinafter referred to as Rh-ECM). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on antibody screening data of 48 254 patients in our hospital from December 2023 to March 2025. The antibody screening results were compared between the pre-application phase (n=46 346, control group) and post-application phase (n=48 254, experimental group) of Rh-ECM technology, focusing on the changes in the proportion of Rh system antibodies, with statistical analysis conducted using SPSS 26.0 software. Meanwhile, the initial and re-examination situations of Rh antibody in the antibody screening of approximately 20 000 person-times each before (June 2019 to June 2020, n=21 048) and after (July 2020 to April 2021, n=20 965) of Rh-ECM were evaluated to explore the influence of Rh-ECM on the detection rate of Rh antibody. Results: After Rh-ECM implementation, 345 positive cases (0.7%) (345/48 254) were detected among 48 254 patients, primarily consisting of mns system antibodies (128 cases, 37.1%) (128/345) and rh system antibodies (95 cases, 27.5%) (95/345). Before Rh-ECM implementation, 199 positive cases (0.4%) (199/46 346) were detected among 46 346 patients, with rh system antibodies accounting for 97 cases (48.7%) (97/199). The difference in the composition ratio of Rh antibodies between the two phases was statistically significant (P<0.001), and the relative risk ratio of Rh antibody detection after Rh-ECM implementation was 56.5% compared to before. Another set of data analysis showed that before Rh-ECM, there were 37 cases with initial positive results and 8 cases with re-examination positive results; after Rh-ECM, these numbers were 44 and 2 respectively There was a statistically significant difference in the re-examination positive rate of Rh antibodies between the two stages (P<0.05). Conclusion: The implementation of Rh-ECM technology significantly reduced the proportion of Rh system antibodies among patients with positive antibody screening results. This suggests that Rh-ECM can effectively reduce the detection rate of Rh antibodies, which may be related to the reduced risk of antibody production due to Rh-matched transfusion, thus improving transfusion safety. Therefore, Rh-ECM is worthy of broader promotion in clinical transfusion testing.
