Objective: To explore the application effectiveness of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) in optimizing intelligent blood logistics transport pathways for safety assurance. Methods: Data from 1 851 cases of intelligent blood logistics transport were collected between September 2023 and March 2025. Based on the implementation phases of HFMEA measures, the cases were divided into a control group (n=120), observation group 1 (n=219), and observation group 2 (n=1 512). Through systematic analysis of the transport processes, hazard scoring and decision tree analysis were conducted for each process, and phased optimization measures were implemented for high-risk failure modes. Results: The transport duration of intelligent blood logistics was 35.5 (20.8, 71.1) min in the control group, 25.1 (10.9, 40.7) min in observation group 1, and 9.9 (4.2, 44.5) min in observation group 2. Observation group 2 exhibited significantly shorter transport time compared to both observation group 1 and the control group, with statistically significant differences between groups (P<0.000 1). Conclusion: The implementation of HFMEA-driven measures significantly reduced intelligent blood logistics transport duration, thereby fostering the evolution of smart hospital ecosystems while enhancing healthcare service quality and operational efficiency.

ObjectiveBased on 16S rDNA technology and molecular biology methods， the molecular mechanism of Shenling Baizhusan in the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome （IBS-D） was investigated. MethodsThe 42 SD rats with SPF were randomly divided into no control group， SLBZS-H， medium （SLBZS-M）， low （SLBZS-L） dose group， positive control group and model group， with 7 rats in each group. The rat model of IBS-D was prepared by ice-cold senna （0.45 g∙mL^-1） gavage （10 mL∙kg^-1） combined with restraint stress for 14 consecutive days. After successful modeling， the corresponding drugs were given to each group with a gavage volume of 10 mL∙kg^-1： The positive group was administered with 2.36 ， 1.18， 0.59 g∙mL^-1 of Shenling Baizhusan in the Positive group and the Model group with the same volume of normal saline for 14 d. The general condition of the rats： Weight， feces， mental state and death were observed and recorded. The body weight， abdominal wall retraction reflex score （AWR） and loose stool rate of rats in each group were measured before （the first day）， after the model （day 14） and after treatment （day 28）. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the morphological characteristics of colon tissues of experimental animals. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantitatively analyze the concentration of inflammatory mediators in the peripheral blood of experimental animals. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of key proteins of Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）， Toll-like receptor 2 （TLR2）， myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88） and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway in rat colon tissue. 16S rDNA technology was used to detect the structural changes of intestinal microbiota in rats. ResultsCompared with Control， the colon of the Model group showed partial mucosal epithelial shedding and inflammatory cell infiltration. The contents of TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6 and 5-HT in serum increased （P<0.05）， the protein expressions of TLR2， TLR4， MyD88 and NF-κB in colon tissue increased （P<0.05）， the diversity indices of Richness， Chao1， abundance-based coverage estimator（ACE） and Shannon decreased （P<0.05）， and the phylum Firmicutes， Actinobacteria， The relative richness of Bacteroides-H， Lactobacillus and Ligilactobacillus decreased （P<0.05）， while the relative richness of Bacteroidetes， Proteobacteria and Prevotella increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the colonic structure and organization of the SLBZS-H group， SLBZS-M group， SLBZS-L group and Positive group were clearer， and only a small number of inflammatory cells were present in some areas， and the serum contents of TNF-α， IL-1β， IL-6 and 5-HT were decreased （P<0.05）， TLR2， TLR4， The protein expressions of MyD88 and NF-κB decreased （P<0.05）， and compared with the model group， the diversity indices of Richness， Chao1， ACE and Shannon in the SLBZS-H， SLBZS-M and SLBZS-L groups increased （P<0.05）， and the richness of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria increased （P<0.05）. The richness of Proteobacteria and Prevotella decreased （P<0.05）， and the abundance of Prevotella decreased （P<0.05）， Bacteroides-H， Muribaculum， Lactobacillus and salivarius in the Positive group salivarius （P<0.05）. ConclusionShenling Baizhusan can effectively treat IBS-D， and its molecular mechanism may be to play a therapeutic role by improving intestinal flora and inhibiting the TLRS/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to reduce inflammatory response.

In recent years， mesenchymal stem cells （MSC） have been widely explored in the treatment of liver diseases due to their characteristics of multipotential differentiation and immunomodulatory capabilities. Current evidence has shown that MSC therapy can improve liver function， alleviate fibrosis， and promote hepatocyte regeneration in end-stage liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis and liver failure. However， safety concerns have emerged with the increasing clinical use of MSC. This article systematically reviews the acute adverse reactions and long-term safety of MSC-based therapies for liver diseases. It is shown that MSC therapy has a good overall safety profile， with common acute adverse reactions of fever， rash， and mild allergy， most of which are self-limiting or can be alleviated by symptomatic treatment. No clear evidence of tumorigenesis has been reported in long-term follow-up， but some studies have suggested a potential association between MSC and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition， the risks of embolism， immune rejection， and infection susceptibility should be monitored continuously. Overall， MSC therapy shows good prospects in short-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of liver diseases， but clinical studies with a large sample size and a long follow-up period are needed to further validate its long-term safety and efficacy.

In the context of burgeoning economic trade, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of ships travelling between domestic and international ports. Inbound and outbound cargo ships, cruise liners, ferries, and other types of vessels have emerged as critical vehicles for the dispersal of vector organisms and the spread of infectious disease agents. Public health concerns associated with these vessels represent a significant threat to human welfare. In this paper, we comprehensively review the hazards posed by vector organisms on ships, the latest advances in prevention and control strategies, and proposes appropriate countermeasures. The aim is to provide effective guidance for the prevention and control of public health security issues caused by ship-borne vector organisms.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma （PDAC） is highly malignant and often has an extremely poor prognosis， and early postoperative liver metastasis is one of the key influencing factors for prognosis. With reference to the clinical and experimental studies in recent years， this article reviews the clinical risk factors for early liver metastasis after PDAC and systematically elaborates on major molecular events underlying early postoperative liver metastasis from various aspects of construction of the pre-metastatic niche in the liver driven by tumor-derived exosomes， the pro-metastatic microenvironment maintained by metastasis-associated macrophages and neutrophil extracellular traps， the invasive phenotype and liver-tropic migration of tumor cells， intrahepatic immunometabolic adaptation， and fibrotic remodeling， in order to provide a theoretical basis for perioperative risk stratification and the development of intervention strategies.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the extraction process of flavonoids from Potentilla discolor .METHODS Deep eutectic solvents （DESs） were used as the extraction solvent to prepare test sample solutions. The contents of rutin， quercitrin， and kaempferol were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. The analytic hierarchy process combined with the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation weighting method was employed to assign comprehensive weights to the contents of the three flavonoids， and calculate the comprehensive score. The optimal DESs were screened based on the comprehensive score.Mean while， using the comprehensive score as the response variable and the liquid-to-solid ratio， ultrasonic time， and urltrasonic temperature as the influencing factors， the extraction technology of flavonoids from P.discolor was optimized by Box-Behnken response surface methodology and subsequently validated.RESULTS The comprehensive weight coefficients of rutin， quercitrin， and kaempferol were 0.646 7， 0.207 5， and 0.145 8， respectively. The optimal DESs were choline chloride-lactic acid （molar ratio 1∶4） with a water content of 40%. The optimal extraction conditions were determined as follows： liquid-to-solid ratio of 25∶1， ultrasonic time of 40 min， and ultrasonic temperature of 50 ℃. The validation results showed that the average comprehensive score of three batches of samples was 99.28， with an RSD of 0.54% （ n ＝3）.CONCLUSIONS The optimal extraction technology of flavonoids from P. discolor based on DESs obtained in this study was stable and feasible.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the relationships of white blood cell (WBC) count, platelet (PLT) count, and PLT-to-WBC ratio (PWR) with muscle mass in Chinese older adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional analysis involved 4,033 Chinese older adults aged ≥ 65 years from the Healthy Ageing and Biomarkers Cohort Study. Muscle mass and total skeletal muscle mass index (TSMI) were measured by bioelectric impedance analysis. WBC, PLT, and PWR were measured using standard methods. Multivariate linear regression was used to examine the associations of WBC count, PLT count, and PWR with TSMI. RESULTS: High WBC count, PLT count, and PWR were associated with low TSMI, with coefficients of -0.0091 (95% confidence interval [ CI]: -0.0142 to -0.0041), -0.0119 (95% CI: -0.0170 to -0.0068), and -0.0051 (95% CI: -0.0102 to -0.0001). The associations between the three inflammatory indices and TSMI were linear. Stratified analyses indicated that the relationship between inflammatory markers and TSMI was more evident in male participants and in individuals aged < 80 years than in their counterparts. CONCLUSION Elevated WBC count, PLT count, and PWR correlated with muscle mass loss. This study highlights the importance of regular monitoring of inflammatory markers as a potential strategy for the screening and management of sarcopenia in older adults.

Objective Readout segmentation of long variable echo-trains diffusion weighted imaging(RESOLVE DWI)was used to analyze the difference of apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)value in deep cerebral nucleus and its correlation with clinical characteristics in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods Clinical data of 60 patients with PD were retrospectively analyzed as PD group,and were divided in-to the tremor group(n=30)and the bradykinesia group(n=30)according to symptom type,middle-aged(≤65 years old)group(n=23)and elderly(＞65 years old)group(n=37)according to age,and 60 healthy vol-unteers were selected as the control group during the same period.ADC values were measured on the ADC map of RESOLVE DWI sequence,and the ADC values of bilateral putamen,pallidus,substantia nigra,rubra,and dentate nucleus were analyzed and their correlation with UPDRS-Ⅲ score and H&Y grading.Results Compared with the control group,the ADC values of both putamen,globus pallidus,globus pallidus,red nucleus,right substantia nigra and right dentate nucleus were increased in the PD group,the ADC values of both putamen,globus pallidus,red nucleus and right substantia nigra in the tremor group were increased,and the ADC values of right putamen,globus pallidus and bilateral red nucleus in the bradykinesia group were increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the bradykinesia group,the values of ADC in the tremor group were similar.Compared with the middle-aged group,the ADC values of right putamen,bilateral globus pallidus,left substantia nigra and left red nucleus were higher in the elderly group(P＜0.05).In the PD group,the ADC values of the right putamen,globus pallidus,and dentate nucleus were positively correlated with H&Y grade and UPDRS-Ⅲscore,and the ADC value of the left putamen was positively correlated with H&Y grade.Conclusion RE-SOLVE DWI can be used to evaluate the differences in deep gray matter nuclei in PD patients,and its ADC value may be used to evaluate and predict the severity of nuclear mass damage and motor symptoms in PD pa-tients.

A novel analytical method was developed in this study by combining online solid phase extraction with ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(Online SPE-UPLC-MS/MS)for simultaneous determination of 50 kinds of steroid hormones in surface water.Specifically,after high-speed centrifugation of 4 mL water samples,the supernatant was directly injected into an Oasis HLB online SPE column for enrichment and purification.Subsequently,the target compounds were transferred to the analytical column via valve switching for separation and analysis.The chromatographic separation was performed on a Thermo Acclaim RSLC C18 column(100 mm×2.1 mm,2.2 μm),using a mobile phase composed of 5 mmol/L ammonium fluoride aqueous solution and acetonitrile.Mass spectrometric detection was conducted in positive ion mode,utilizing multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)with quantification achieved by the internal standard method.The method validation demonstrated that the limits of detection(LOD)for the 50 kinds of steroid hormones ranged from 0.02 to 0.50 ng/L,while the limits of quantification(LOQ)were between 0.08 and 1.67 ng/L.The average recoveries in surface water samples at spiked concentrations of 5,20 and 200 ng/L were between 74.1％and 119％,with relative standard deviations(RSDs)of 0.2％to 9.9％.This method was applied to analyze 11 surface water samples collected from sites surrounding a pharmaceutical and chemical industrial park.A total of 44 kinds of steroid hormones were detected,with concentrations ranging from 0.11 to 88.6 ng/L,revealing the presence of hormone contamination in the environmental waters surrounding industrial areas.Compared with the traditional offline SPE methods,the proposed online SPE technique significantly reduced sample volume requirements and pretreatment time,while minimizing the loss of target compounds during the pretreatment process.Moreover,compared to reported online SPE techniques,this method achieved high-throughput analysis of multiple classes of steroid hormones,with lower detection limits and higher recoveries.Overall,this method provided rapid sample preparation,high sensitivity,and excellent stability,making it suitable for the direct analysis of trace steroid hormones in surface water.
