[Objective] To use Platelet Additive Solution Ⅲ M to suspend concentrated platelets and evaluate their quality at different storage periods, in order to investigate the optimal ratio of Ⅲ M to plasma in the medium for storing concentrated platelets. [Methods] Disposable plastic blood bags with platelet storage bags were used to collect whole blood from healthy voluntary blood donors, and concentrated platelets were collected by plasma-rich method, with a volume of about 50 mL and ≥4.0×10¹⁰ platelets contained in each bag. According to the Platelet Addictive Solution ⅢM/plasma volume ratio in the medium of suspended platelets, the platelets were divided into 3 groups: control group (plasma only), experimental group 1(Platelet Addictive Solution ⅢM/plasma volume ratio of 6.5∶3.5) and experimental group 2 (low plasma group, Platelet Addictive Solution ⅢM/plasma volume ratio of 9∶1), each group of 50 samples. Three groups of platelets were stored at (22±2) ℃ at a flat-bed shaker, and 5 mL were sampled by sterile connection at day 1, 3, 5 and 7 respectively to detect platelet count, pH value, lactate dehydrogenase, CD62P positive rate and Annexin V positive rate. All the data were analyzed with SPSS24.0 software. One-way ANOVA was employed to compare the differences among three groups. In order to pairwise comparisons between means of multiple samples, Bonferroni method was applied. [Results] With the extension of storage time, the platelet count decreased and the Annexin V positive rate increased in the 3 groups, and the difference of the 3 groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The pH value decreased in the 3 groups, with values at day 1, 3, 5 and 7 of 7.44±0.13 vs 7.44±0.14 vs 7.41±0.11, 7.31±0.68 vs 7.43±0.23 vs 7.22±0.12, 7.30±0.15 vs 7.42±0.14 vs 7.17±0.12, 7.29±0.33 vs 7.26±0.18 vs 7.04 ± 0.12, respectively. The pH decline in the control group and experiment group 1 was minor, with no statistically significant difference, but experiment group 2 showed relatively larger decreases in day 5 and day 7, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). LDH concentrate was elevated in 3 groups (mmol/L), with values at day 1,3,5 and 7 of 169.62±99.33 vs 105.80±150.71 vs 77.14±105.38, 225.10±112.86 vs 116.00±72.77 vs 94.42±88.74, 249.42±79.55 vs 119.00±53.51 vs 118.35±80.39, 253.34±86.95 vs 147.71±90.71 vs 124.68±128.68 respectively. Compared with the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Experimental group1 had the smallest increase; CD62P positive rate increased in 3 groups (%), with values at day 1, 3, 5 and 7 of 26.22±11.74 vs 23.48±12.48 vs 40.49±11.86, 41.29±8.36 vs 33.53±25.64 vs 50.42±22.36, 59.59±10.13 vs 36.39±23.10 vs 50.94±20.50, 72.92±15.44 vs 55.54±23.65 vs 61.89±18.82 respectively. Compared with the control group, the increase in experiment group1 was smaller, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). [Conclusion] Platelet Addictive Solution ⅢM/plasma volume ratio of 6.5∶3.5 is superior to traditional plasma in maintaining platelet quality during the in vitro preservation period of platelets.

BACKGROUND: The global rise in diabetes prevalence is a pressing concern. Despite initiatives like "The Healthy Beijing Action 2020-2030" advocating for increased awareness, treatment, and control, the specific situation in Beijing remains unexplored. This study aimed to analyze the trends in diabetes prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control among Beijing adults. METHODS: Through a stratified multistage probability cluster sampling method, a series of representative cross-sectional surveys were conducted in Beijing from 2005 to 2022, targeting adults aged 18-79 years. A face-to-face questionnaire, along with body measurements and laboratory tests, were administered to 111,943 participants. Data from all survey were age- and/or gender-standardized based on the 2020 Beijing census population. Annual percentage rate change (APC) or average annual percentage rate change (AAPC) was calculated to determine prevalence trends over time. Complex sampling logistic regression models were employed to explore the relationship between various characteristics and diabetes. RESULTS: From 2005 to 2022, the total prevalence of diabetes among Beijing adults aged 18-79 years increased from 9.6% (95% CI: 8.8-10.4%) to 13.9% (95% CI: 13.1-14.7%), with an APC/AAPC of 2.1% (95% CI: 1.1-3.2%, P <0.05). Significant increases were observed among adults aged 18-39 years and rural residents. Undiagnosed diabetes rose from 3.5% (95% CI: 3.2-4.0%) to 7.2% (95% CI: 6.6-7.9%) with an APC/AAPC of 4.1% (95% CI: 0.5-7.3%, P <0.05). However, diabetes awareness and treatment rates showed annual declines of 1.4% (95% CI: -3.0% to -0.2%, P <0.05) and 1.3% (95% CI: -2.6% to -0.2%, P <0.05), respectively. The diabetes control rate decreased from 21.5% to 19.1%, although not statistically significant (APC/AAPC = -1.5%, 95% CI: -5.6% to 1.9%). Overweight and obesity were identified as risk factors for diabetes, with ORs of 1.65 (95% CI: 1.38-1.98) and 2.48 (95% CI: 2.07-2.99), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of diabetes in Beijing has significantly increased between 2005 and 2022, particularly among young adults and rural residents. Meanwhile, there has been a concerning decrease in diabetes awareness and treatment rates, while control rates have remained stagnant. Regular blood glucose testing, especially among adults aged 18-59 years, should be warranted. Furthermore, being male, elderly, overweight, or obese was associated with higher diabetes risk, suggesting the needs for targeted management strategies.

Hematologic malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, are hazardous diseases characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells. Dysregulated cell cycle resulting from genetic and epigenetic abnormalities constitutes one of the central events. Importantly, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), complexed with their functional partner cyclins, play dominating roles in cell cycle control. Yet, efforts in translating CDK inhibitors into clinical benefits have demonstrated disappointing outcomes. Recently, mounting evidence highlights the emerging significance of WEE1 G2 checkpoint kinase (WEE1) to modulate CDK activity, and correspondingly, a variety of therapeutic inhibitors have been developed to achieve clinical benefits. Thus, WEE1 may become a promising target to modulate the abnormal cell cycle. However, its function in hematologic diseases remains poorly elucidated. In this review, focusing on hematologic malignancies, we describe the biological structure of WEE1, emphasize the latest reported function of WEE1 in the carcinogenesis, progression, as well as prognosis, and finally summarize the therapeutic strategies by targeting WEE1.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the load distribution on the more painful and less painful limbs in patients with mild-to-moderate and severe bilateral knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and explore the compensatory mechanisms in both limbs among bilateral KOA patients with different severity levels. METHODS: A total of 113 participants were enrolled between July 2022 and September 2023. This cohort comprised 43 patients with mild-to-moderate bilateral KOA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2-3), 43 patients with severe bilateral KOA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 4), and 27 healthy volunteers (healthy control group). The visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, passive knee range of motion (ROM), and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) were used to assess walking pain intensity, joint function, and lower limb alignment in KOA patients, respectively. Motion trajectories of reflective markers and ground reaction force data during walking were captured using a gait analysis system. Musculoskeletal modeling was then employed to calculate biomechanical parameters, including the peak knee adduction moment (KAM), KAM impulse, peak joint contact force (JCF), and peak medial/lateral contact forces (MCF/LCF). Statistical analyses were performed to compare differences in clinical and gait parameters between bilateral limbs. Additionally, one-dimensional statistical parametric mapping was utilized to analyze temporal gait data. RESULTS: Mild-to-moderate KOA patients showed the significantly higher HSS score (67.7±7.9) than severe KOA patients (51.9±8.9; t=8.747, P<0.001). The more painful limb in all KOA patients exhibited significantly greater HKA and higher VAS scores compared to the less painful limb ( P<0.05). While bilateral knee ROM did not differ significantly in mild-to-moderate KOA patients ( P>0.05), the severe KOA patients had significantly reduced ROM in the more painful limb versus the less painful limb ( P<0.05). Healthy controls showed no significant bilateral difference in any biomechanical parameters ( P>0.05). All KOA patients demonstrated longer stance time on the less painful limb ( P<0.05). Critically, severe KOA patients exhibited significantly higher peak KAM, KAM impulse, and peak MCF in the more painful limb ( P<0.05), while mild-to-moderate KOA patients showed the opposite pattern with lower peak KAM and KAM impulse in the more painful limb ( P<0.05) and a similar trend for peak MCF. CONCLUSION Patients with mild-to-moderate KOA effectively reduce load on the more painful limb through compensatory mechanisms in the less painful limb. Conversely, severe bilateral varus deformities in advanced KOA patients nullify compensatory capacity in the less painful limb, paradoxically increasing load on the more painful limb. This dichotomy necessitates personalized management strategies tailored to disease severity.

OBJECTIVE: To explore clinical efficacy of tibial transverse transport (TTT) combined with debridement in treating necrotizing fasciitis of the lower extremities. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 31 patients with necrotizing fasciitis of the lower extremities who were treated with TTT from January 2021 to October 2023, including 28 males and 3 females, aged from 44 to 76 years old with an average of (57.58±8.79) years old. In-hospital mortality rate, amputation rate, length of hospital stay, hospitalization cost, number of surgeries, and inflammatory indicators before and after operation (white blood cells, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, albumin), as well as wound healing and daily living ability were observed and compared. RESULTS: All 31 patients were followed up for 3 to 12 months with an average of (6.61±2.46) months. All patients' wounds healed without recurrence. The wound healing time was (4.96±2.61) months, amputation rate of 31 patients was 3.22% (1/31), in-hospital mortality rate was 0%, the length of hospital stay was (27.10±24.51) days, the hospitalization cost was (107, 300 ± 83, 300) yuan, and the number of surgeries was (3.26±1.93) times. White blood cells, C-reactive protein and albumin before operation were (13.41±5.54) ×10⁹/L, (136.67±73.50) mg·L^-1 and (25.92±5.59) g·L^-11 respectively, and improved to (11.05±3.65) ×10⁹/L, (79.91±51.40) mg·L^-1, and (30.31±4.02) g·L^-1 at 2 weeks after operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in hemoglobin before and after operation (P>0.05). At the latest follow-up, 16 patients were able to take care of themselves, 12 patients were partially self-sufficient, and 3 patients were completely unable to take care of themselves. CONCLUSION TTT with debridement could achieve satisfactory clinical efficacy in treating necrotizing fasciitis of the lower extremities.
