OBJECTIVE: To analyze the current status and trend of opioids consumption in China, and to provide reference for rational use of opioids. METHODS: Purchasing data on five opioids as fentanyl, morphine, pethidine, oxycodone and hydromorphone, were extracted from the database of the Medicine Economic Information Network from 2014 to 2016. Drug consumption was measured by the daily dose per million population (unit: S-DDD), and the consumption amount of all opioids and different dosage forms (including oral dosage form, injection and other form) in China and different districts were analyzed and compared. RESULTS: The consumption amount of five opioids increased from 69.62 S-DDD in 2014 to 78.64 S-DDD in 2016. The consumption amount of hydromorphone and oxycodone showed an upward trend, while the consumption amount of morphine was basically unchanged, and the consumption amount of fentanyl and pethidine showed a downward trend. The consumption amount of oral dosage form increased from 39.77 S-DDD in 2014 to 45.61 S-DDD in 2016, the consumption amount of the injection increased from 20.74 S-DDD in 2014 to 24.23 S-DDD in 2016, and the consumption amount of other form decreased from 9.11 S-DDD in 2014 to 8.81 S-DDD in 2016. The consumption amount of oral dosage form was around twice that of injection, with the gap expanding yearly. Regionally, the consumption amount of five opioids in the eastern region was the highest, followed by the western region, and the lowest but the highest growth rate in the central region from 2014 to 2016 (in 2016, consumption amount of eastern, western and central regions were 94.04, 67.90, 63.78 S-DDD, with increase rate of 8.50%, 11.77%, 16.17%, compared with 2014). Morphine was the most widely used drug in all regions, followed by fentanyl; in the eastern and central regions, the use of oral and injection dosage form increased year by year; in western region, the use of oral dosage forms increased while that of injection decreased year by year. CONCLUSIONS: The opioids consumption in China is increasing overall, with regional differences. Nonetheless, the overall consumption is still low. On the premise of strict supervision, it is necessary to take measures to promote the rational use of opioids in different areas.

Recent studies have shown that a series of structural and functional changes would occur during the process of platelet collection, storage and transfusion. The storage of platelets would induce the production of extracellular vesicles. During the process of platelet transfusion, extracellular vesicles play a critical role by carrying diverse substances under various pathophysiological conditions, which causes adverse reactions to blood transfusion. Ceramide and soluble CD40L (sCD40L) carried by platelet-derived extracellular vesicles may lead to transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). Extracellular vesicles containing mtDNA are considered as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which can mediate local and systemic inflammation and promote inflammation through interactions with leukocytes and monocytes. Platelet derived extracellular vesicles contain lots of procoagulant substances, which are considered as prethrombotic substances. The RNA of varying species or content carried by vesicles during the process of platelet storage may also related to the occurrence of adverse reactions to blood transfusion.

Central nervous system (CNS) is a sophisticated system subject to complex regulation, which dominates the high-level neural activities of the human body. Due to its complex physiological structure and refined regulatory mechanism covering a variety of diseases, CNS is the place where many chronic, refractory and rare diseases occur. Nerve cell is the basic unit of CNS, and its dysfunction and death is the root cause of CNS diseases. Ferroptosis is a new form of programmed cell death proposed in recent years, and has been proved to be closely related to the production and development of multiple CNS diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including Chinese herbs, acupuncture and moxibustion, and massage, has shown unique advantages in the treatment of CNS diseases for a long time. A large number of studies have demonstrated that TCM participates in the regulation of CNS diseases via regulating ferroptosis and shows a good research prospect. This paper summarized the characteristics of ferroptosis and discussed the association between ferroptosis and CNS diseases in pathological mechanism. We also reviewed the regulation of various CNS diseases by different TCM interventions through ferroptosis, providing references for TCM to participate in the treatment of CNS diseases properly in the future.

【Objective】 To analyze the genetic background of RhD-negative blood donors by detecting RHD and RHCE genes of those donors. 【Methods】 From March 2021 to May 2022, the blood samples of RhD-negative blood donors, who had been screened out by RhD primary screening and confirmatory experiments in the Yaan Blood Center, were firstly identified whether the RHD allele was completely deleted, then whether there were deletions in 10 exons of non-RHD allele complete deletion samples, finally, the remaining samples without RHD alleles and exon deletions were further analyzed by DNA sequencing. RHCE gene was detected by SSP-PCR method. 【Results】 Among the RHD gene test results of 104 RhD-negative samples, 65 cases were completely deleted (d/d), 33 were RHD partially deleted (one allele deletion), and 6 were without RHD gene deletion. The RHD alleles of 33 samples with partial deletion were detected by 10 exons, 13 had partial exon deletion, with genotype as RHD*D-CE(3-9)-D/d and phenotype as RhD negativity, and the remaining 20 samples had no exon deletion. The exon sequencing results of the non-deletion samples showed RHD*1227A/RHD*1227A in 6 samples, RHD*1227A/d in 19, RHD*3A/d in 1; both of the last two were considered Del by ISBT. The RHCE gene test results showed that all cc genotype blood donors were RhD true negative, while Del blood donors had no cc genotype. 【Conclusion】 Through the genetic background study of RhD negative blood donors, it is found that there is a high proportion of Del with weak expression of RhD antigen, whether this blood type affects clinical blood safety needs further researches.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serological indicators and evaluate the diagnostic value of a new established combined serological model on identifying the minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:This prospective multicenter study enrolled 263 compensated cirrhotic patients from 23 hospitals in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China between October 2021 and August 2022. Clinical data and laboratory test results were collected, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was calculated. Ammonia level was corrected to the upper limit of normal (AMM-ULN) by the baseline blood ammonia measurements/upper limit of the normal reference value. MHE was diagnosed by combined abnormal number connection test-A and abnormal digit symbol test as suggested by Guidelines on the management of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis. The patients were randomly divided (7∶3) into training set ( n=185) and validation set ( n=78) based on caret package of R language. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model of MHE diagnosis. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve. The internal verification was carried out by the Bootstrap method ( n=200). AUC comparisons were achieved using the Delong test. Results:In the training set, prevalence of MHE was 37.8% (70/185). There were statistically significant differences in AMM-ULN, albumin, platelet, alkaline phosphatase, international normalized ratio, MELD score and education between non-MHE group and MHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that AMM-ULN [odds ratio ( OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.05-3.14, P=0.038] and MELD score ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for MHE, and the AUC for predicting MHE were 0.663, 0.625, respectively. Compared with the use of blood AMM-ULN and MELD score alone, the AUC of the combined model of AMM-ULN, MELD score and education exhibited better predictive performance in determining the presence of MHE was 0.755, the specificity and sensitivity was 85.2% and 55.7%, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ( P=0.733). The AUC for internal validation of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.752. In the validation set, the AUC of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.794, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration ( P=0.841). Conclusion:Use of the combined model including AMM-ULN, MELD score and education could improve the predictive efficiency of MHE among patients with compensated cirrhosis.
