[Objective] To explore the temperature parameters affecting the polybrene test and determine the optimal temperature conditions for detecting unexpected antibodies of the Rh system. [Methods] The reaction of IgG human anti-D antibody with different dilutions (undiluted, 1∶2, 1∶4, 1∶8, 1∶16, 1∶32，1∶64) with D antigen-positive red blood cells was detected by manual polybrene test (MPT). Different temperatures (25℃ and 37℃) were set, and the reaction time with low ionic medium was 4 minutes. The agglutination integral value of anti-D and red cell depolymerization time were compared to observe the effect of enhanced agglutination reaction, thereby establishing the test temperature reaction conditions for enhancing the MPT. The same reaction condition was applied to 36 blood samples containing unexpected antibodies of the Rh system, and the effect of enhanced MPT was observed in comparison with the polybrene method and the antiglobulin test (column agglutination). [Results] With all other conditions held constant, when low ionic medium was added, the incubation temperature of 25℃ and 37℃ resulted in different total agglutination integral values for anti-D (20.9±2.025 vs 25.5±2.635), and the comparison showed a significant difference (P<0.05). When the antibody dilution was 1∶16, the incubation temperature of 25℃ and 37℃ resulted in different agglutination integral values (3.9±0.738 vs 5.8±0.632), and the comparison showed a significant difference (P<0.05). Erythrocyte depolymerization time (62.8±8.149 vs 90.1±10.713) was significantly different (P<0.05). At a dilution of 1∶32, the incubation temperatures of 25℃ and 37℃ resulted in different agglutination integral values (2.5±0.527 vs 4.3±0.675), as well as different red blood cell dissociation times (35.4±7.792 vs 57.4±10.885)(P<0.05), and the comparison showed a significant difference (P<0.05), with no differences observed in the other groups. In the detection of 36 Rh system unexpected antibody samples, when the antibody titer was ≤2, the enhanced polybrene method had a higher positive rate, and when the antibody titer was ≥4, the detection rates of the three methods were consistent. [Conclusion] The reference temperature condition for the modified MPT is incubation at 37℃ for 4 min after the addition of low ionic medium. The application of this temperature condition to unexpected antibody samples of Rh system could achieve a significant enhancement effect, thereby increasing transfusion safety for the treatment of emergency patients, and is worth popularizing.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Yifei Jianpi prescription on the of signal transducer and activator of transcription protein 1 （STAT1）/interferon regulatory factor 3 （IRF3） signaling pathway in a pneumonia model induced by lipopolysaccharide （LPS） and to explore the mechanism of Yifei Jianpi prescription in improving lung immune and inflammatory responses. MethodsSixty male SPF SD rats were used in this study. Ten rats were randomly assigned to the normal control group， and the remaining 50 were instilled with LPS in the trachea to establish a pneumonia model. After successful modeling， the rats were randomly divided into the model group， dexamethasone group （0.5 mg·kg^-1）， and Yifei Jianpi prescription high-dose （12 mg·kg^-1）， medium-dose （6 mg·kg^-1）， and low-dose （3 mg·kg^-1） groups， with 10 rats in each group. Treatment was administered once daily， and the normal control and model groups received the same volume of normal saline. After 14 days， flow cytometry was used to detect the classification of whole blood lymphocytes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure serum levels of immunoglobulin G （IgG）， immunoglobulin A （IgA）， immunoglobulin M （IgM）， and the content of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-8 （IL-8）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-10 （IL-10） in alveolar lavage fluid （BALF）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe lung tissue pathology and score the damage. Thymus weight， spleen weight， and wet-to-dry weight ratio （W/D） were recorded. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of STAT1， IRF3， IL-6， and interferon-alpha （IFN-α） in lung tissues， while Western blot was performed to assess the protein expression of STAT1， IRF3， IL-6， and IFN-α. ResultsCompared with the normal control group， the model group showed significantly increased proportion of B lymphocytes in peripheral blood， decreased proportions of NK cells and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ （P<0.05， P<0.01）， decreased serum levels of IgG and IgA， significantly increased IgM levels （P<0.01）， significantly elevated content of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-8 in BALF， and significantly decreased IL-10 levels （P<0.01）. Lung tissue damage was evident， with significant increases in thymus and spleen weights and a higher W/D ratio （P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein expression of STAT1， IRF3， IFN-α， and IL-6 in lung tissues was significantly upregulated （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Yifei Jianpi prescription groups showed significantly reduced proportions of B lymphocytes in peripheral blood， increased proportions of NK cells and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratios （P<0.05， P<0.01）， significantly increased serum levels of IgG and IgA， significantly decreased IgM levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）， significantly reduced levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-8 in BALF， and significantly increased IL-10 levels （P<0.01）. Lung tissue damage was alleviated， thymus and spleen weights were significantly reduced， and the W/D ratio was markedly decreased （P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein expression of STAT1， IRF3， IFN-α， and IL-6 in lung tissues was significantly downregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionYifei Jianpi prescription can alleviate lung tissue damage and improve immune and inflammatory responses in LPS-induced pneumonia rats. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of STAT1/IRF3 signaling pathway activation.

[Objective] To compare the efficacy and safety of deglycerolized red blood cells (DRBC) and suspended red blood cells (SRBC) based on the propensity score matching (PSM) method, so as to provide evidence for the rational use of DRBC resources in clinical practice. [Methods] A total of 89 patients who received DRBC transfusion and 2 916 patients who received SRBC transfusion in our hospital from January 2023 to September 2024 were included. A 1∶1 nearest neighbor PSM was used to balance covariates such as gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). The changes of hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC) count, hematocrit (HCT), and inflammatory markers such as white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil (NE) count, C-reactive protein (CRP), and Interleukin-6(IL-6) in the last 72 hours after transfusion were analyzed by SPSS 26.0 and R software to evaluate clinical efficacy and transfusion safety. [Results] The baseline of the two groups was balanced after PSM (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the DRBC group (80.9%) and the SRBC group (86.5%) (P>0.05). In the SRBC group, WBC (×10 /L) increased from 9.634±6.742 to 10.147±6.835, CRP (mg/dL) increased from 5.468±4.647 to 6.174±6.114, and IL-6(pg/mL) decreased from 213.733±587.191 to 157.255±552.626. In the DRBC group, WBC (×10 /L) decreased from 11.123±7.880 to 11.011±8.549, CRP (mg/dL) decreased from 5.729±4.761 to 5.326±4.466, and IL-6(pg/mL) decreased from 238.806±639.060 to 152.255±266.558. Compared with the before treatment, the differences between the SRBC group and DRBC group were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Among all patients included in the statistics, the overall incidence of transfusion adverse reactions was 0.205% (6/2 916) in the SRBC group, and no adverse reactions occurred in the DRBC group. The incidence in the SRBC group was higher than that in the DRBC group. [Conclusion] Based on PSM analysis, there was no significant difference in the efficacy and safety of DRBC transfusion compared with SRBC transfusion, which can provide evidence-based support for routine application.

Esophageal cancer is one of the malignant tumors that poses a threat to human health, with both high incidence and malignancy. Currently, surgery following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer; however, the long-term prognosis remains unsatisfactory. In recent years, inhibitors of programmed death protein-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (programmed death ligand-1, PD-L1) have achieved breakthrough progress in other solid tumors, and research on esophageal cancer is gradually being conducted. With the demonstration of good efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in the first-line and second-line treatment of advanced unresectable esophageal cancer, their incorporation into neoadjuvant treatment regimens has become a hot topic. Therefore, this article reviews the mechanism of action of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and their application in the neoadjuvant treatment of esophageal cancer.

Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

Objective: To comprehensively evaluate the clinical efficacy of a single dose of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing craniomaxillofacial plastic and cosmetic surgery through meta-regression analysis. Methods: Embase, PubMed, Wanfang Data, VIP database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were electronically retrieved to collect clinical studies evaluating efficacy of perioperative TXA administration in patients undergoing craniomaxillofacial plastic and cosmetic surgery, from inception to August 2024. Quality assessment of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed using Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias Tool. Based on the results of methodological heterogeneity, corresponding meta-analyses were conducted using either random-effects or fixed-effects models in R programming software. Results: Thirty-one articles were included, involving 2 072 patients who underwent craniomaxillofacial plastic and cosmetic surgeries. Among these patients, 1 051 were in the TXA treatment group, and 1 021 were in the control group. The paired meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group, the use of TXA significantly reduced bleeding volume in perioperative patients [standardized mean difference (SMD)=-1.13; 95%CI (-1.47, -0.80), P<0.001]. Subgroup analysis revealed that TXA significantly reduced intraoperative bleeding volume in patients across different surgeries, with the order of efficacy as follows: orthognathic surgery [SMD=-1.44; 95%CI (-2.07, -0.80), P<0.001], cleft palate repair [SMD=-1.32; 95%CI (-2.14, -0.50), P<0.001], rhinoplasty [SMD=-0.97; 95%CI (-1.63, -0.30), P<0.001], and craniosynostosis [SMD=-0.96; 95%CI (-1.40, -0.53), P=0.040]. The result of the meta regression showed there was no significant difference in the hemostatic effect of TXA on patients with increasing doses (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 mg/kg) (P=0.650). Sensitivity analysis verified that the pooled values were stable and reliable. The Egger's test indicated a certain degree of publication bias (Z=-3.40, P<0.001). Conclusion: Existing evidence suggests that TXA effectively reduces perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing craniofacial plastic surgery, regardless of its dosage administered.

【Objective】 To investigate the differential diagnosis of 1 anti-C, e alloantibodies combined with anti-e, Jk^b mimicking alloantibodies by absorption-elution test and titer integral method. 【Methods】 ABO, Rh and Kidd blood group antigens were identified by tube method. Two sets of panel cells were used for antibody screening and antibody specificity identification by saline method, polyamine method and microcolumn gel method.The antibody was further confirmed by multiple absorption-elution tests and titer integral method. RHCE and JK gene were sequenced by multiple PCR. 【Results】 Serological gene sequencing analysis showed that the ABO blood group of the patient was A type with Rh subtype ccDEE and was positive for direct antiglobulin test (DAT). Multiple absorption-elution tests and titer integral method demonstrated that the serum of the patient contained anti-C, e alloantibodies along with anti-e, Jk^b mimicking autoantibodies and there were anti-e, Jk^b mimicking autoantibodies on red blood cells(RBCs). According to gene sequencing analysis, there was G>C at exon 676 of the RHCE gene, and the remaining exons were not mutated, suggesting that the RHCE phenotype was ccEE. The 838 G/A heterozygote of exon 9 in JK gene, Jk blood group phenotype was Jk (a+ b+ ). Cross matched type A ccDEE and Jk(a+ b-) RBCs were transfused, and no adverse reactions occurred. 【Conclusion】 Serology combined with molecular biology to identify the phenotype of the patient′s RBCs, absorption-elution test and titer integral method to identify the antibody of the patient′s serum can detect the alloantibody type, thus providing strategies for targeted blood transfusion.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.

Objective:To investigate the intervention effect of binary coping strategy based on systemic interaction model on the postoperative survival quality of patients with oral cancer.Methods:A total of 99 patients with oral cancer admitted to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of a tertiary hospital from Jun 2021 to Jun 2022 was selected.They were randomly divided into the control group(50 cases)and the observation group(49 cases)with random number table method.The control group received routine nursing for oral cancer.On this basis,the observation group also received the binary coping strategy based on the systemic interaction model.The scores of UW-QOL quality of life scale and binary coping scale were compared between the two groups before surgery,at the 3rd and 9th weeks after surgery.Results:The UW-QOL scores of both groups at the 3rd and 9th weeks after surgery were lower than those at admission,and the UW-QOL score in the control group was lower than that in the observation group(P＜0.05).At the 3rd week after surgery,the score of coping with the partner in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).At the 9th week after surgery,the total score,negative coping,stress communication,coping together,and supportive coping scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there was an interaction between time and group for the total score of binary coping scale(P＜0.05).And there was a significant main effect of time and group on the total score of binary coping scale(P＜0.05).Conclusions:The quality of life of patients with oral cancer is poor.The binary coping strategy based on the systemic interaction model can improve the quality of life of patients,enhance the intimacy of patients with their partners,and contribute to the disease recovery of patients with oral cancer.

BACKGROUND:Red light irradiation and silver ion dressing are mostly used to treat chronic difficult healing wounds clinically,but the optimal irradiation time of red light irradiation and silver ion dressing for chronic non-healing wounds,and the combination of different silver ion dressings have not been determined. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the optimal irradiation time and dressing combination of red light and silver ion dressing in the therapy of chronic non-healing wounds. METHODS:The chronic non-healing wound model was made by applying Staphylococcus aureus on the whole skin defect and subcutaneous hydrocortisone injection in SD rats.72 rat models were randomly divided into 4 groups with 18 rats in each group by random number table method.The rats were treated on the basis of standard dressing change and the following therapy:A1B1 group(red irradiation 20 minutes + lipid hydrocolloidal silver sulfate dressing),A1B2 group(red light irradiation 20 minutes + calcium alginate fiber dressing),A2B1 group(red light irradiation 30 minutes + lipid hydrocolloidal silver sulfate dressing),and A2B2 group(red light irradiation 30 minutes + calcium alginate fiber dressing);change dressing,irradiate once,and change dressing every 24 hours.After 14 days of continuous treatment,wound healing rate,bacterial colony number,inflammatory response,histomorphology and angiogenesis were detected in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the extension of treatment time,the wound healing rate of rats in the four groups was increased,and the wound healing rate of rats in the A2B2 group at 3,7,and 14 days after treatment was higher than that in the other three groups(P<0.05).(2)The wound bacterial culture results on day 7 after treatment demonstrated that the number of bacterial colonies in the A2B2 group was lower than that in the other three groups(P<0.05).Western blot assay exhibited that with the extension of treatment time,the protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-6 in wound tissue of rats in the four groups were decreased,while the protein expressions of interleukin-10 were increased.The protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-6 in the A2B2 group were lower than those in the other three groups(P<0.05).The protein expression of interleukin-10 in the A2B2 group was higher than that of the other three groups(P<0.05).(3)The wound hematoxylin-eosin staining on day 14 after treatment demonstrated that a large number of collagen fibers in the A2B2 group were parallel distributed and the most closely connected,which was significantly better than the other three groups.(4)The results of immunofluorescence staining indicated that the fluorescence intensity expression of CD31 in the A2B2 group was higher than that in the A1B1,A1B2 and A2B1 groups(P<0.05).q-PCR detection at 3,7,and 14 days after treatment exhibited that the mRNA expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor a and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in the A2B2 group were higher than those in the other three groups(P<0.05).Western blot assay at 3,7 and 14 days after treatment revealed that the protein expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor a and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in the A2B2 group were higher than those in the other three groups(P<0.05).(5)These findings confirm that 30 minutes of red light irradiation combined with silver alginate fiber dressing has better results in treatment of chronic non-healing wounds.
