Traditional Chinese medicine placebo has been put more and more attention to. However, there is no ac-cepted quality evaluation method for TCM placebo. How to evaluate TCM placebo objectively and quantitatively is a common problem in the industry of Chinese medicine. New technologies such as the Intelligent Sensory Technique have been used to establish the placebo evaluation methods which are suitable for TCM characteristics. This article provided the basis for establishing scientific, rational and objective evaluation guiding principles for TCM.

【Objective】 To monitor the positive rates of IgM and IgG antibodies and the changes in S/CO values over time in voluntary blood donors infected with SARS-CoV-2 after recovery, in order to provide theoretical basis and data support for ensuring clinical blood safety. 【Methods】 A total of 54 platelet donors who met the inclusion criteria were selected for this study, and 359 blood samples (plasma) from T1 to T7 (at 7 time points, spanning 14 to 15 weeks) were continuously monitored for SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies using fully automated chemi-luminescence method. 【Results】 Among 359 blood samples (plasma) from 54 donors, 349 were with valid test results.Eleven donors were tested positive for IgM, with a positive rate of 20.37%, and IgM antibody S/CO value gradually increased during T1-T3, but gradually decreased during T4-T7. Fifty-four donors were tested positive for IgG, with the positive rate of 100%, and the S/CO value of IgG antibody gradually decreased over time. During the period of T1 -T7, there was no significant difference in SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody S/CO value between gender (male/female) or age group (18-39 years old /40-60 years old). 【Conclusion】 The positive rate of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody in platelet donors after recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection was 100% during 2-14 weeks, and the IgG S/CO value gradually decreases over time. The long-term dynamic changes of SARS-CoV-2 serologically specific IgG and IgM antibodies in blood donors are worthy of further study.

Objective: To investigate the transcriptomic changes in primary human oral keratinocytes (pHOKs) after coculture with Prevotella melaninogenica (P.m) and to verify the changes in human oral keratinocyte (HOK) cell lines. Methods: pHOK was isolated and cocultured with P.m for 0, 4 and 24 h. Total RNA was extracted, a gene library was constructed, transcriptional sequencing was performed, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed, gene ontology (GO) pathway analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed, and the validation of DEGs was performed by qRT-PCR and Western Blot in the HOK and P.m coculture cell model. Results : 1 788 DEGs were detected between the 4 h group and control group, including upregulated DEGs such as lymphocyte cytosolic protein 1(LCP1), keratin 7 (KRT7) and Cilia and flagella associated protein 251(CFAP251) and downregulated DEGs such as FERM, ARH/RhoGEF and Pleckstrin domain protein 1 (FARP1), WW domain containing transcription regulator 1(WWTR1) and Discoidin, CUB and LCCL domain-containing protein 2 (DCBLD2). 1 832 DEGs were detected between the 24 h group and control group, including upregulated DEGs such as LCP1, complement C1s(C1S), kynureninase (KYNU) and downregulated DEGs such as phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), FARP1 and FKBP prolyl isomerase 10 (FKBP10). There were 1 090 common differentially expressed genes (cDEGs) in the 4 h and 24 h groups, including LCP1, KYNU and long intergenic nonprotein coding RNA 958 (LINC00958). The GO pathways were mainly enriched in response to lipopolysaccharide and the molecules of bacterial origin and apical part of the cell. KEGG pathway analysis revealed enrichment in the interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway, etc. We verified the expression of a cDEG, Myosin1B (MYO1B), and qRT-PCR and Western Blot analysis showed that MYO1B expression was significantly upregulated between the control group and the P.m cocultured group (P<0.001), and its expression followed a time-dependent and concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion P.m played an important role in the transcriptome of oral keratinocytes.

【Objective】 To compare the current standards and explore the influencing factors for hemolysis rate of leukocyte-reduced red blood cells at the end of the preservation period, in order to formulate reasonable internal control indicators. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was performed on hemolysis rate of 427 samples of leukocyte-reduced red blood cells at the end of the preservation period in Nanning Blood Center from 2015 to 2022. Compared with the current standard for hemolysis rate at the end of the preservation period (GB 18469-2012 Quality Requirements for Whole Blood and Component Blood), the differences were analyzed, and the factors influncing the hemolysis rate were analyzed in terms of different blood donor groups. 【Results】 1) Among the 427 samples, the hemolysis rate of 418 (97.89%) did not exceed 0.4%, all lower than 0.8%; 2)the hemolysis rate of the male group was higher than that of the female group; 3) the hemolysis rate of the 18-29 years old group was lower than that of the 30-39 year old group and the 40-60 year old group, with statistically significant difference; 4) in terms of occupation, the hemolysis rate of students was the lowest, and the differences between groups were statistically significant; 5) no statistical significance was found in ethnicity and blood type. 【Conclusion】 Statistics indicated that gender, age, blood donation volume and occupation of blood donors were the influencing factors of hemolysis rate. The current standard is obviously higher in the qualified range of blood quality control in Nanning. It is advisable to formulate a reasonable quality control strategy with internal control index of hemolysis rate set <0.4%, which is conducive to making accurate evaluation of internal quality control and ensuring blood safety.
