Autologous blood donation is an important strategy of blood conservation. The Administrative Measures for the Clinical Use of Blood in Medical Institutions (Order No. 85 of the National Health Commission) requires medical institutions to promote the implementation of autologous blood donation actively. The clinical practice guidelines for patient blood management also recommend the proactive use of autologous blood donation to reduce the reliance on allogeneic blood. Preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) is one of the autologous blood donation with wide range of indications, easy to operate, and can effectively reduce the transfusion of allogeneic blood. However, the performance of PABD in China is unsatisfactory due to various factors such as the patient composition of medical institutions, the implementation of outpatient department of blood transfusion, the level of attention paid to this issue, and the fact that traditional PABD do not meet clinical requirements. Therefore, improving the PABD model and exploring new PABD technology, as well as promoting their clinical application, are critical measures to meet the development requirements of patient blood management and to alleviate the shortage of blood supply. This article summarizes the improvements in the PABD model, and a novel PABD technology of PABD—preoperative deep apheresis of autologous red blood cells and/or platelets (deep apheresis autologous blood storage technology), and the current situation of clinical application of PABD to provide paradigm for clinical transfusion.

ObjectiveTo explore the impacts of material type and loading volume of rigid containers on the hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma sterilization of thoracoscopic instruments, to identify the best rigid containers and loading volume of thoracoscopic instruments. MethodsThoracoscopic instruments sterilized by STERRAD^® 100NX hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital affiliated to Tongji University from August to September 2024 were selected as the research items. According to the material of rigid containers, the instruments were divided into polyethylene case group (A), stainless steel case group (B) and silicone resin case group (C). In terms of the loading volume, the rigid containers were divided into (loading capacity <80%) groups of 8, 10 and 12 instruments. The results of physical monitoring, the first type of chemical indicator card monitoring, and the five types of card luminal chemical process challenge device (PCD) monitoring of the 9 groups of A8, A10, A12, B8, B10, B12, C8, C10 and C12 were compared and evaluated. ResultsCompared to A8, A10 A12, C8, C10 or C12 groups, the thoracoscope instruments in the stainless steel containers in B8, B10 or B12 group had higher hydrogen peroxide concentrations and shorter elapsed time in the pressure check phases 1 and phases 2, with the differences statistically significant (P<0.05), followed by the silicone resin case group and the polyethylene case group. The nine groups of physical parameter monitoring, the first type of chemical indicator monitoring, and the five types of chemical PCD monitoring for lumen sterilization achieved 100% qualification rates, and there were no significant differences in the qualified rates of sterilization among the 9 groups (P>0.05). ConclusionWhen using hydrogen peroxide low temperature plasma to sterilize thoracoscopic instruments, it is recommended to use stainless steel or silicone resin rigid containers with a controlled loading capacity (≤12) to ensure optimal sterilization quality.

Secondary organizing pneumonia after infection is a pathological condition characterized by connective tissue filling and obstructing the alveoli and bronchioles, in which following an infection in the lung, the inflammatory response is not controlled in a timely and effective manner. The pathogenesis and treatment of this condition can be interpreted through the Sanjiao membranous tube theory and the concept of stagnation within the pulmonary micro-membrane. Sanjiao is conceptualized as a four-way membranous tube that internally connects with the zangfu organs and externally with the skin and muscles, enabling the circulation of energy and fluids throughout the body. It also maintains communication with the zangfu micro-membranes. Within the lungs, the pulmonary micro-membrane is distributed and connected to the upper jiao membranous tube, facilitating the movement of qi and fluids and supporting nutrient distribution. External pathogens may invade the Sanjiao membranous system through the external membranous tube, travel internally along this system, and transform into latent pathogens that settle within the pulmonary micro-membrane. These latent pathogens can subsequently transform into heat or dampness, leading to the depletion of lung qi and impairing the lung′s ability to regulate and transport body fluids. Consequently, fluids may seep into the pulmonary micro-membrane, where they are transformed into dampness, turbidity, and phlegm. The accumulation of damp-turbidity and phlegm obstructs the flow of qi and blood, resulting in blood stasis in the pulmonary collaterals. This stagnation occurring within both the pulmonary micro-membrane and its associated collaterals underlies the development of secondary organizing pneumonia after infection. In severe cases, this condition may progress to pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. The therapeutic approach emphasizes expelling latent pathogens, regulating and dredging the pulmonary micro-membrane, tonifying the healthy qi, and supporting health. Regulating and dredging the pulmonary micro-membrane is a crucial step, with a focus on promoting the flow of lung qi, resolving dampness and phlegm, and activating blood circulation to remove stasis.

In recent years， the incidence of pulmonary nodules has kept rising. To give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of pulmonary nodules and identify the breakthrough points of integrating TCM with Western medicine， the China Association of Chinese Medicine organized medical experts in TCM and western medicine to carry out in-depth discussion regarding this disease. The discussion encompassed the modern medical advances， TCM theories of etiology and pathogenesis， the role and advantages of TCM in the whole course management of pulmonary nodules， contents and methods of research on pulmonary nodules， and science popularization work， aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice and scientific research. After discussion， the experts concluded that the occurrence of pulmonary nodules was rooted in the deficiency of the lung and spleen and triggered by phlegm dampness， blood stasis， and Qi stagnation. TCM can treat pulmonary nodules by controlling and reducing nodules， improving physical constitution， ameliorating multi-system nodular diseases， reducing anxiety and avoiding excessive diagnosis and treatment， and serving as an alternative for patients who are unwilling or unfit for surgical treatment. At present， the optimal diagnosis and treatment strategy for pulmonary nodules has not been formed， which needs to be further studied from multiple perspectives such as clinical epidemiology， biology， and evidence-based medicine. The primary task of current research is to find out the advantages， effective prescriptions， and target populations and determine the effective outcomes of TCM in the treatment of pulmonary nodules. At the same time， basic research should be carried out to explore the etiology and biological behaviors of pulmonary nodules. The expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules with integrated TCM and Western medicine needs to be continuously revised to guide clinicians to conduct standardized， scientific， and accurate effective diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To explore the optimization of the standardized assessment tool for clinical diagnosis of Chinese developmental dyslexia (DD).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to December 2023, in which 130 primary school children in grades 1 to 3 with clinical signs of literacy lag and positive screening results on the screening scales were recruited from the outpatient clinic of Child Health Care Medical Division, Shanghai Children′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Chinese dyslexia screening behavior checklist for primary students (CDSBC) was used as the screening scales, and supplemented by dyslexia checklist for Chinese children. Referring to the standard procedure of the"expert advice on diagnosis and intervention of Chinese developmental dyslexia", the developmental dyslexia scale for standard mandarin (DDSSM) was used to evaluate the children′s literacy-related cognitive abilities and conduct the diagnostic assessment, and divided the children into learning backward group and the DD group. The t-test and χ2 test were used to compare the differences in the distribution of intelligence, literacy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder between the two groups. Spearman′s correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the scores for each cognitive ability in the DDSSM and the CDSBC. Results:Of the 130 children, 90 were male, aged (8.3±1.0) years; 40 were female, aged (8.1±0.9) years. A final diagnosis of DD was made in 59 cases, of which 41 were males. There was no statistically significant difference in operational intelligence quotient (101±15 vs.100±15, t=0.53, P>0.05) and statistically significant difference in literacy of DDSSM (32±5 vs.21±4, t=11.56, P<0.001) between the learning backward group and the DD group. Eighteen cases (25.4%) of the learning backward group were children with attention deficit subtype attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-I), and 16 cases (27.1%) in DD group, the difference in incidence between the two groups was not statistically significant ( χ2=0.05, P>0.05). There were correlations between the DDSSM (for oral vocabulary, morphological awareness and orthographic awareness) and the CDSBC total score ( r=-0.42, -0.32, -0.35, all P<0.01), but the correlations for visuospatial perception and rapid automatized naming with CDSBC total score were not statistically significant ( r=-0.09 and -0.20,both P>0.05). Conclusion:For literacy-related cognitive abilities, screening scales CDSBC are not sufficiently useful for assessment, so the introduction of standardized assessment tools DDSSM is an optimization of the clinical diagnosis of Chinese DD, which is crucial for achieving accurate diagnosis and intervention.

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery(FLACS)has been used for more than 10 years, with its safety and precision well-verified. In recent years, FLACS has been gradually applied to patients with glaucoma and cataracts, especially those patients with primary angle closure glaucoma(PACG). The unique anatomical characteristics of PACG increase the difficulty of lens extraction and potential complications in conventional phacoemulsification surgery, highlighting the distinct advantages of FLACS in these patients. Recently, the application of FLACS combined with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery(MIGS)in patients with open angle glaucoma, and goniosynechialysis(GSL)in patients with angle-closure glaucoma, and even in patients with filtering blebs after anti-glaucoma surgery, has been reported. The indications for FLACS are increasingly expanding. FLACS can cause a transient intraoperative increase in intraocular pressure(IOP), and ocular parameters can have a certain impact on IOP. The long-term effects on IOP require further research. More attention should be paid to the impact of FLACS on visual function in glaucoma patients and the related complications that may arise. This article reviews the application of FLACS in different types of glaucoma, its effects on IOP and visual function, specific complications, and application prospects.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of early motor development in small for gestational age (SGA) infants at high risk of brain injury.Methods:This study retrospectively enrolled a total of 81 SGA infants and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants who were at high risk of brain injury and attended outpatient follow-up visits in Xi'an Children's Hospital from February to October 2022. Seventeen SGA infants (SGA group) and 24 AGA infants (AGA group) were assessed for motor development using the Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) at 2-5 weeks of corrected age (CA) and 20 SGA infants (SGA group) and 20 AGA infants (AGA group) were assessed at 14-17 weeks of CA. Independent samples t-test, rank-sum test, and Chi-square test were used to compare the demographic characteristics, high-risk factors of brain injury, and TIMP scores between the two groups. Results:At 2-5 weeks and 14-17 weeks of CA, the birth weights of SGA group were both less than those of AGA group [(1 817.1±440.3) vs. (2 630.0±560.9) g, t=－4.98; (1 752.0±434.4) vs. (2 226.3±699.8) g, t=－2.58; both P<0.05], but there were no significant differences in gestational age at birth or high-risk factors of brain injury between the two groups (all P>0.05). (1) At 2-5 weeks of CA: SGA group had lower total TIMP score [(71.6±13.7) vs. (80.5±11.5) scores, t=－2.26, P=0.029], elicited item score [61.0 scores (41.0-85.0 scores) vs. 69.1 scores (49.0-96.0 scores), Z=－2.15, P=0.037], sitting position score [8.8 scores (3.0-19.0 scores) vs. 11.2 scores (5.0-22.0 scores), Z=－2.07, P=0.038], and prone position score [(9.8±3.1) vs. (12.3±3.1) scores, t=－2.19, P=0.034] when compared with AGA group. (2) At 14-17 weeks of CA: The standing position score of the SGA group was lower than that of the AGA group [6.5 scores (4.0-11.0 scores) vs. 7.7 scores (2.0-11.0 scores), Z=－2.05, P=0.040], but no statistical difference was observed in the total TIMP score or the scores of sitting, supine, prone, turning, and lateral positions between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Early motor performance of SGA infants is inferior to AGA infants before five months of age, which is embodied in the poor head control at 2-5 weeks of CA that further affects the stability of standing posture in them at 14-17 weeks of CA.
