[Objective] To validate and optimize the platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) prediction model for patients with hematological disorders established by our center. [Methods] The data of patients with hematological diseases who received platelet transfusions from December 2021 to December 2022 were used as the training set, and data from January 2023 to December 2023 as the validation set. The validation set data was used to validate the predictive model constructed on the training set. Relevant risk factors for PTR were collected through literature review and preliminary studies。 The patients were divided into effective and ineffective groups according to the corrected count increment (CCI) of platelet counts. Predictive factors were screened using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The calibration of the model were assessed via calibration curves, while discrimination, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves Clinical utility was further analyzed with decision curve analysis (DCA). [Results] The Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test for the validation set yielded S: P=0.000, indicating that the original model needs optimization. Baseline comparisons and logistic regression identified the number of red blood cell units (RBCU) and platelet units (PLT-U) transfused as key predictors for the optimized model. The H-L goodness-of-fit test S: P values for the training and validation sets were 0.930 and 0.056, respectively; the ROC areas were 0.793 5 and 0.809 4, specificities 90.95% and 84.21%, sensitivities 59.26% and 70.04%, and accuracies 78.14% and 74.10%, respectively. DCA demonstrated clinical net benefit within a prediction probability threshold range of 0.2-0.8. [Conclusion] Transfusion volumes of RBC-U and PLT-U were inversely associated with PTR in hematological patients. The resulting PTR prediction model exhibits moderate predictive efficacy and clinical benefit.

ObjectiveBased on the concept of quality by design(QbD), the processing process of calcined Pyritum was optimized, and its X-ray diffraction(XRD) fingerprint was established. MethodsThe safety, effectiveness and quality controllability of calcined Pyritum were taken as the quality profile(QTPP), the color, hardness, metallic luster, phase composition, the contents of heavy metals and hazardous elements were taken as the critical quality attributes(CQAs), and the calcination temperature, calcination time, paving thickness and particle size were determined as the critical process parameters(CPPs). Differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) were used to analyze the correlation between the calcination temperature and CQAs of calcined Pyritum. Then, based on the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation(CRITIC)-entropy weight method, the optimal processing process of calcined Pyritum was optimized by orthogonal test. Powder XRD was used to analyze the phase of calcined Pyritum samples processed according to the best process, and the mean and median maps of calcined Pyritum were established by the superposition of geometric topological figures, and similarity evaluation and cluster analysis were carried out. ResultsThe results of single factor experiments showed that the physical phase of Pyritum changed from FeS2 to Fe7S8 during the process of temperature increase, the color gradually deepened from dark yellow, and the contents of heavy metals and harmful elements decreased. The optimized processing process of calcined Pyritum was as follows:calcination temperature at 750 ℃, calcination time of 2.5 h, paving thickness of 3 cm, particle size of 0.8-1.2 cm, vinegar quenching 1 time[Pyritum-vinegar(10∶3)]. After calcination, the internal structure of Pyritum was honeycomb-shaped, which was conducive to the dissolution of active ingredients. XRD fingerprints of 13 batches of calcined Pyritum characterized by 10 common peaks were established. The similarities of the relative peak intensities of the XRD fingerprints of the analyzed samples were>0.96, and it could effectively distinguish the raw products and unqualified products. ConclusionTemperature is the main factor affecting the quality of calcined Pyritum. After processing, the dissolution of the effective components in Pyritum increases, and the contents of heavy metals and harmful substances decrease, reflecting the function of processing to increase efficiency and reduce toxicity. The optimized processing process is stable and feasible, and the established XRD fingerprint can be used as one of the quality control standards of calcined Pyritum.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effectiveness and safety of Xuandi Ziyin Mixture (玄地滋阴合剂) for central precocious puberty (CPP) in girls with syndrome of yin deficiency and fire exuberance, and to analyse the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the effectiveness. MethodsA total of 236 girls with CPP of yin deficiency and fire exuberance syndrome were included, and all of them were given Xuandi Ziyin Mixture, 30 ml each time, twice a day, for a total treatment period of 6 months. Before and after treatment, children's weight, height and bone age were measured, BMI and BMI Z-score (BMI Z) and the difference between bone age and actual age were calculated; ultrasound was used to detect uterine and ovarian sizes, and to calculate uterine volume (Vuterus), bilateral ovarian volume (Vleft ovary, Vright ovary), and bilateral maximal follicle diameters (rleft follicle and rright follicle); and serum sex hormones were measured, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL), estradiol (E2), and testosterone (T), and were scored for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the influence factors of the difference between bone age and actual age, and changes in uterine volume. The children were divided into the normal weight group and the overweight/obesity group according to baseline BMI, and the bone age, the difference between bone age and actual age, Vuterus and BMI Z scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. ResultsFinally, 199 children entered the statistical analysis. Compared with pre-treatment, the bone age, BMI and BMI Z scores of the children increased after treatment, and the difference between bone age and actual age, TCM syndrome scores, Vuterus, Vleft ovary, Vright ovary, rleft follicle and rright follicle decreased; and the levels of serum FSH, LH, E2, and T significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The difference between bone age and actual age was negatively correlated with LH and Vuterus (P<0.05), and changes in uterine volume were positively correlated with LH (P<0.01). Comparing between the groups before and after treatment, the bone age, difference between bone age and actual age, and BMI Z scores of children in the normal weight group (100 cases) were significantly smaller than those in the overweight/obesity group (99 cases) (P<0.01). Compared with pre-treatment, the bone age of the children in both groups increased, but the difference between bone age and actual age and Vuterus were significantly smaller (P<0.01).

Traditional spine surgery frequently encounters difficulties with inadequate surgical visualization and high risk.Robot-assisted spine surgery is quickly evolving,particularly in screw placement,providing three-dimensional imaging and precise positioning to optimize the surgical process. Robot-assisted systems can increase surgical precision,reduce operating time and radiation exposure,and improve patient prognosis. They also have strong image recognition and analysis capabilities,reducing intraoperative instability and fatigue and allowing remote manipulation.While robot-assisted spine surgery has demonstrated noteworthy advantages in regards to screw placement accuracy and reduced radiation exposure,its effects on operative time remain subject to debate,with cost being a significant hindrance to widespread implementation.Long-term clinical validation and studies of outcomes are necessary for the extensive use of robotic-assisted spine surgery.Future priorities include the enhancement of surgical navigation and imaging,integration of artificial intelligence,improvement of telesurgical capabilities,expansion of robotic functionality,and the development of policy guidance and clinical guidelines to accompany the growth of technology.Robot-assisted spine surgery enhances accuracy and safety,and is anticipated to assume an increasingly crucial role in spine surgery as technology advances and becomes more widely available.

Objective:To investigate the laboratory detection methods for immune hemolytic transfusion reactions caused by anti-tigecycline antibody and the clinical diagnosis and treatment of one patient.Methods:The correlation between hemolysis-related laboratory indexes of the patient and the duration of medication was analyzed. Blood samples of the patient were tested using direct anti-human globulin test, free antibody test, and release test. Erythrocyte sensitization method and immune complexome analysis were used to detect the antibody against tigecycline in the serum of the patient. The properties and the titers of anti-tigecycline antibody were analyzed.Results:Anti-tigecycline antibody was found in the patient through the erythrocyte sensitization method and the immune complexome analysis, and the result of the direct anti-human globulin test was positive. The clinical symptoms and physical signs of the patient improved rapidly after withdrawal of tigecycline and blood transfusion. The patient was discharged after 14-day treatment with immunoglobulin and hormone.Conclusions:Tigecycline can cause hemolytic transfusion reactions. Serological tests are essential for the diagnosis of drug-induced hemolytic anemia. Withdrawal of medications and symptomatic treatment should be conduceted immediately when patients develop drug-related hemolytic anemia.
