Objective To investigate the situation of ALT-single-unqualified blood donors and the ALT test when they donated again.Methods There were 3 784 cases of ALT-single-unqualified blood donors from March 2009 to February 2010 enrolled in the study.Investigations were carried out to know the previous situation of blood donation.A 3-year tracking survey on those people was carried out,and the data was recorded and analyzed.Results The ALT-single-unqualified blood donors who participated in blood donation for the first time accounted for 58.14% (2 201/3 748).The 3-year follow-up showed that the returned blood donors accounted for 33.62% (1 272/3 784);1-year return accounted for 46.62%(593/1 272)which was the most;ALT-qualified donors accounted for 65.72%(836/1 272)of the retured donors.with the increase of the times of blood donation,the qualified rate of blood ALT increased.Conclusion More than half of the ALT-single-unqualified blood donors returned.There was a large proportion of returning donors participated in blood donation more than onece,and the qualification rate of ALT increased with the increase of do-nation times.In order to reduce the unqualified rate of ALT test,we should strengthen the propaganda and fixed blood donation team construction.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVEThe mouse lung cancer orthotopic model includes spontaneous lung cancer model and endotracheal transplanted model, and etc. The spontaneous lung cancer needs longer time and does not ensure the rate of the generation of the tumor; as for endotracheal transplanted model, the position and size of the tumor are instable. In this study, the 3LL cell line was orthotopically transplanted into the lung of the C57BL/6 mice, compare to the heterotopic model, to discuss their stability and transfer-characteristics. And this study was also to optimize the method of establishing lung cancer orthotopic animal model.
METHODSDifferent quantity of 3LL cells were inoculated into the left oxter of C57BL/6 mice to establish the heterotopic model; or suspended with Matrigel then inoculated into the left lung of C57BL/6 mice to establish orthotopic model. The survival-time of the mice was examined. The tissue was collected for the subsequent histology assay after euthanizing the mice. Microvessels density (MVD) was observed and counted by immunohistological chemistry. CD44v was detected by flow cytometry.
RESULTSTTumor-form-rate of the heterotopic group were 100%, 66.7%, 16.7%, respectively, and had no macroscopic transfer. Tumor-form-rate of the orthotopic group were 100%, 100%, 83.3%, respectively, and had widespread transfer in contralateral chest and the lung. The median survival time of the orthotopic group (38, 35, 23 days) were less than the heterotopic group (82, 72, 50 days). MVD of the orthotopic group (120.2 +/- 9.73) was higher than the heterotopic group (92.6 +/- 7.12). The expression of CD44v of orthotopic (26.46 +/- 1.56)% was higher than the heterotopic group (23.13 +/- 1.02)%.
CONCLUSIONThe lung cancer orthotopic model which established by 3LL cells transplanted into the lung of the mice is simple, dependable, repeatable and has stronger transfer characteristics than the heterotopic model.

Objective:To explore the value of jellyfish sign, an abnormal ultrasonographic sign, in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes of women with complete placenta previa combined with placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS).Methods:This retrospective study analyzed the ultrasound images of 72 singleton gravidas, diagnosed with complete placenta previa combined with PAS, who underwent cesarean section at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2020 and February 2023. Based on the presence and absence of the jellyfish sign in ultrasound images, these gravidas were divided into the jellyfish-sign group (15 cases, 20.8%) and the non-jellyfish-sign group (57 cases, 79.2%). The clinical data and perinatal outcomes of the two groups were analyzed. The adverse perinatal outcomes encompassed conditions such as abdominal aorta balloon block, uterine artery embolism, hysterectomy, postpartum hemorrhage, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission of their neonates. Statistical analysis was performed using two independent samples t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test and the Chi-square (or Fisher's exact) test. Results:(1) The jellyfish-sign group exhibited a higher parity [(1.6±0.7) times vs (1.2±0.6) times, t=2.01] and higher prenatal scores of placenta accreta [(12.3±1.5) scores vs (8.6±2.9) scores, t=6.59] than those in the non-jellyfish-sign group (both P<0.05). Among the 57 cases in the non-jellyfish-sign group, there were 14 cases of placenta creta (24.6%), 40 cases of placenta increta (70.2%), and three cases of placenta percreta (5.3%). Among the 15 cases in the jellyfish-sign group, nine cases were diagnosed with placenta increta, six with placenta percreta, and none with placenta creta. The difference in distribution between the two groups was statistically significant (Fisher's exact test, P<0.001). (2) Intraoperative blood loss [(for those who accepted abdominal aorta balloon block, 1 973±1 057) ml vs (1 211±576) ml, t=2.55], red blood cells transfused [4.0 U (2.0-23.0 U) vs 2.5 U (0.0-11.0 U), Z=-2.53], postoperative hospitalization time [(9.7±2.4) vs (7.5±2.2) d, t=3.36], the incidence of abdominal aorta balloon block [15/15 vs 38.6% (22/57), χ2=17.92], uterine artery embolism [for those who accepted abdominal aorta balloon block, 3/15 vs 1.8% (1/57), Fisher's exact test], and requiring blood transfusion [15/15 vs 63.2% (36/57), Fisher's exact test] were higher in the jellyfish-sign group than those in the non-jellyfish-sign group. However, the non-jellyfish-sign group had lower gestational age at delivery [(33.6±1.5) weeks vs (35.2±1.8) weeks, t=-3.24], and lower neonatal Apgar score at 1 min and 5 min [1 min: 8 scores (3-10 scores) vs 9 scores (4-10 scores), Z=-2.46; 5 min: 9 scores (7-10 scores) vs 10 scores (6-10 scores), Z=-2.02] (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in emergency surgery rate, 24 h postoperative blood loss, neonatal birth weight, and proportion of NICU admission between the two groups. Additionally, no cases of hysterectomy or death were observed in the two groups. Conclusions:Ultrasound examination revealing jellyfish signs in patients with complete placenta previa and PAS is associated with an increased likelihood of adverse perinatal outcomes. Consequently, the management of these patients should be given greater attention.
