Objective: Blood safety surveillance is a critical measure for the objective assessment of blood quality and enhancing transfusion safety. This study aims to comprehensively understand the current status of blood safety surveillance and management in blood collection and supply institutions in Sichuan Province, systematically analyze existing problems and vulnerabilities, and provide a basis for optimizing management strategies and improving capabilities to ensure blood safety. Methods: The Blood Safety Surveillance questionnaire was designed, covering adverse donor reaction reporting, management of adverse events, and transfusion adverse reaction feedback. An online survey was conducted via Questionnaire Star platform among 21 blood collection and supply institutions in the province, gathering information on management systems, process implementation, and utilization of monitoring data. The collected data were organized and statistically analyzed using Excel. Results: The questionnaire response rate and validity rate were both 100%. Blood collection and supply institutions in Sichuan Province have generally established a blood safety surveillance system and achieved positive outcomes. Regarding adverse events in blood collection and supply, 95.24% (20 institutions) have established reporting procedures, and 66.67% (14) collect information through multiple channels such as internal reports, external reports, and statistical trend feedback. A total of 90.48% (19) institutions regularly summarize and analyze adverse event data, and 85.71% (18) produce reports with improvement recommendations based on this analysis.71.43% (15) institutions implement reward and penalty measures, and 71.43% (15) report underreporting or omission due to accountability or performance concerns. In terms of monitoring adverse blood donation reactions, all blood collection and supply institutions have established full-process management systems.76.19% (16) collect data through multiple approaches, including on-site donation records, voluntary donor reports, and donor follow-ups. Adverse reactions were followed up in 95.24% (20) of institutions with 65% (13) completing follow-ups within 24 hours.80.95% (17) have established investigation procedures, while 66.67% (14) believe underreporting or omission still occurs. All blood collection and supply institutions regularly compile statistics on adverse donation reactions. Of these, 85.71% (18) institutions providing feedback to management departments and 90.48% (19) analyzing the data and making recommendations.76.19% (16) institutions use monitoring data for return donor management and targeted care, and 71.43% (15 stations) incorporate it into management reviews. Regarding adverse transfusion reactions, 95.24% (20) institutions have established and implemented procedures for isolating, recalling, and tracing of problematic blood units. However, only 42.86% (9) have established feedback mechanisms of adverse transfusion reaction with hospitals, and only 19.05% (4) support direct reporting via information systems.47.62% (10) institutions regularly analyze adverse transfusion reaction data, and 19.05% (4) provide feedback and recommendations to relevant hospitals. All blood collection and supply institutions reported challenges in collecting hospital feedback, citing complexities in data collection and reporting processes. Conclusion: Blood safety surveillance systems have been preliminarily established in Sichuan Province. However, further strengthening is still required, including conducting in-depth data analysis and utilization, standardizing the configuration of emergency medications and equipment, and improving feedback mechanisms for adverse transfusion reactions. To improve the overall level of blood safety management, it is recommended to strengthen closed-loop data management, improve feedback mechanisms between blood collection and supply institutions and hospitals, foster a non-punitive reporting culture, and systematically advance the regionalization and standardization of the monitoring system. These efforts will contribute to sustainably improving the overall effectiveness and sustainability of blood safety management.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the main renal replacement therapy methods for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease, and peritoneal dialysis belt is a key auxiliary device. However, there are some problems in the existing PD technology, such as the separation of heating system and dialysate system, the inability to continuously heat dialysate and the single function of peritoneal dialysis belt. In order to solve the above problems, the staff of Shanghai Geriatric Medical Center designed an intelligent temperature-controlled peritoneal dialysis belt and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2023 2 1815961.9). The intelligent temperature-controlled peritoneal dialysis belt is composed of a double-layer fixed belt, an intelligent temperature control system (including temperature control structure and intelligent control system) and other auxiliary structures. The peritoneal dialysis tube can penetrate into the dissection from the entry of the inner surface of the fixed belt and pass through the exit of the outer surface. The double-layer fixed belt ensures the stable fixation of the dialysis tube. The two ends of the fixing belt are designed with magic stickers to adjust the tightness of the fixing belt to adapt to people with different waist circumferences. The interlayer is equipped with an intelligent temperature control system, which can continuously heat the dialysate through an electric heating plate to maintain a temperature close to the body temperature. Through the display screen and controller on the intelligent control system, medical staff can be allowed to monitor and adjust the temperature, pressure and flow parameters of the dialysate in real time. In addition, a cloth with a pulling chain is designed on the inner surface of the fixed belt, and the cloth is opened to facilitate the medical staff to wear the peritoneal dialysis tube in the temperature control structure or the restraint belt. The intelligent temperature-controlled peritoneal dialysis belt enhances the effectiveness of PD, saves PD resources, improves the convenience of PD, is suitable for family and hospital use, can effectively improve the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure, and is suitable for clinical promotion.

Objective:To compare the effect of modified postauricular transverse incision and traditional vertical incision for microvascular decompression in the treatment of hemifacial spasm.Methods:Prospective study method was used. A total of 116 patients with hemifacial spasm in Handan Central Hospital from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2020 were selected, and divided into two groups according to the admission order. Both groups underwent microvascular decompression; control group (57 cases) received traditional vertical incision, while treatment group (59 cases) received modified postauricular transverse incision. The brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP), pain degree, surgical indicators, facial aesthetic satisfaction and complications were compared between two groups.Results:After treatment, the BAEP of latency, wave interval and wave amplitude in the two groups increased compared with that before treatment, and the BAEP of latency, wave interval and wave amplitude in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group: (1.89 ± 0.15) ms vs. (1.62 ± 0.21) ms, (7.89 ± 0.15) ms vs. (6.25 ± 0.41) ms, (1.79 ± 0.19) ms vs. (1.54 ± 0.11) ms ( P<0.05). After treatment, the visual analogue score (VAS) of patients in the two groups decreased compared with that before treatment, and the VAS of patients in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group: (1.15 ± 0.27) points vs. (2.18 ± 0.24) points ( P<0.05). The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume and postoperative scar length of patients in the treatment group were less than those in the control group: (60.41 ± 3.81) h vs. (76.87 ± 3.87) h, (30.18 ± 4.19) ml vs. (56.87 ± 4.15) ml and (4.18 ± 1.07) cm vs. (6.87 ± 1.05) cm ( P<0.05). The satisfaction rate of patients in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group: 91.53% (54/59) vs. 71.93% (41/57) ( P<0.05). The complication rate of patients in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group: 5.08% (3/59) vs. 21.05% (12/57) ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with traditional vertical incision, the modified transverse incision for microvascular decompression in the treatment of hemifacial spasm can reduce intraoperative blood loss and postoperative scar area, enhance brainstem auditory evoked potential, and improve facial aesthetics, which is worthy of recommendation.

Objective To study the changes of intestinal epithelial barrier function in rats with aging.Methods SD rats were divided into 3 groups:3-month-old group (group A),12-month-old group (group B) and 24-month-old group (group C,established by D-galactose injection with the dose of 0.125 g· kg-1 · d-1subcultaneously for 6 weeks) (n=10,each).The terminal ileum was obtained to make microtome section,and the morphology of small intestine mucous membrane,trophonema altitude and thickness were observed under light microscope.Occludin and ZO-1 protein expressions in terminal ileum mucous membrane were detected by immunohistochemistry.The expressions of Occludin and ZO 1 mRNA were determined by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results The small intestinal mucosa thickness and villus height were lower in group C and B than in group A [thickness:(87.6± 6.32) μm,(131.8± 5.22) μm vs.(162.9±7.28) μm; villus height:(56.4±5.38) μm,(76.7±5.40) μm vs.(108.1±6.42) μm;both P＜0.05].The small intestinal mucosa thickness and villus height was lower in group C than in group B (both P＜0.05).Occludin and ZO-1 protein expressions in small intestine tissue were reduced in group C and B as compared with group A [Occludin protein:(2.23±0.60)％,(4.21±0.61)％ vs.(12.31±0.94)％; ZO-1 protein:(2.03±0.54)％,(4.02±0.65) ％ vs.(12.21±0.81)％ ; both P＜0.05],and Occludin and ZO-1 protein expressions were less in group C than in group B (both P＜0.05).The levels of Occludin and ZO-1 mRNA in small intestine tissue were reduced in group C and B as compared with group A [Occludin:(0.20±0.03),(0.38±0.02) vs.(0.66±0.03) ; ZO-1:(0.18±0.03),(0.37±0.02) vs.(0.63±0.03); both P＜0.05],and Occludin and ZO-1 mRNA expressions were less in group C than in group B (both P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The small intestinal mucosa thickness and villus height are reduced,the levels of Occludin and ZO-1 expressions are significantly decreased in small intestinal mucosa,and the intestinal barrier function is impaired with rat aging.

objective To investigate the epidemiological and molecular typing features of the pathogenic Haemophilus influenzae(H.influenzae)by biotyping,serotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE).Methods A total of 273 invasive isolates of H influenzae were collected from the pediatric patients with pneumonia at Chengdu Children Hospital of Sichuan province from 1988 and 2004 to 2007.The idenbfication of H.influenzae strains were done according to the laboratory standard methodology described by Manual of Clinical Microbiology(American).All strains were biotyped according to Kilian's classification with the API[R]NH system.And serotyped by a slide agglutination assay with type a to f specific antlaerum as described by Pittman.PCR method for identification of H.influenzae were performed as described by Falla.One hundred of 273 strains were analyzed by PFGE as described by Saito with some modifications.The resuIts of PFGE were analyzed by Bionumerics soft(Version 4.0,Applied Maths BVBA,Belium).Restilts 78.2%of 273 cases occurred under 1 years old.Eight biotypes were found among the 273 H.influenzae isolates.17.6%(48/273)of all isolates belonged to biotype Ⅰ,43.6%(119/273)were biotype Ⅱ,22.7%(62/273)were biotype Ⅲ,7.3%(20/273)were biotype Ⅳ,5.9%(16/273)were biotype Ⅴ,0.4%(1/273)were biotype Ⅵ,1.8%(5/273)were biotype Ⅶ and 0.7%(2/273)were biotype Ⅷ.respeetively.99.6% of all 273 isolates were nontypeable.There was only one isolate was serotvpe f Ninty-six PFGE genotypes were obtained in this study.One hundred strains demonstrated a variety of genomic Datterns by PFGE.The most isolates of the flame PFGE genotype(type 35)was 3 isolates.Each of93 PFGE genotypes was represented by only a single isolate.The genotypes distribution didn't correlate with the time distribution of the strains were isolated.Conclusion Nontypeable H.influenzae primarily caused acute Dneumoma in children under 1 years old.They mostly belonged to biotype Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ biotypes.The nontypeable H.influenzae strains appeared to more heterogeneous patterns by PFGE genotyping.Genotyping may helP understand the molecular characteristics of outbreak and endemicity according to the results of PFGE.PFGE genotyping proved to have a much stronger discriminatory power than either serotyping or biotyping.Our findings suggest that PFGE analysis is useful for the epidemiologieal study of H.influenzae infections.
