[Objective] To investigate the implementation of emergency transfusion strategy of uncrossmatched type O suspended RBCs based on the single-center clinical practice, which is "emergency transfusion is initiated by the authorized doctor of the emergency department, and no more than 4 U of type O uncrossmatched suspended RBCs are issued within 15 minutes in the transfusion department"(referred as the Practice), so as to provide reference for blood management. [Methods] A retrospective analysis of the information of patients who received uncrossmatched type O suspended RBCs in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from August 2019 to April 2024 was conducted. The analysis included reasons for emergency blood transfusion, time of receiving transfusion application and blood distribution, total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase before and after transfusion, blood group of patients, and disease outcome. [Results] From August 2019 to April 2024, 39 cases applied for emergency transfusion of type O suspended RBCs, and a total of 90 U uncrossmatched suspended RBCs were transfused. All patients were Rh(D) positive, including 14 cases of blood group A, 6 cases of blood group B, 16 cases of blood group O, 2 cases of blood group AB, one case of undetermined blood group, and 2 cases with positive antibody screening. The main cause of emergency transfusion of type O suspended RBCs was traffic accident, accounting for 46% (18/39), with a mortality rate at 51.28% (20/39). The cause of death was primary injury, and no adverse reactions were reported. There was no significant difference in total bilirubin (TBIL), indirect bilirubin (IBIL) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) before and after blood transfusion (P>0.05). The median duration from admission to receiving transfusion application was 30.20 minutes, and 5.30 minutes from receipt of the application to blood distribution. [Conclusion] The single-center based Practice is safe, but there is room for optimization before the link of blood transfusion application sent to the transfusion department when applying for emergency transfusion of type O suspended RBCs.

Health communication aims to improve public health attitudes and behaviors by propagating health information. It plays an important role in promoting public health literacy and "Healthy China Initiative". The basic theories of health communication include "7 W" and Theory of Planned Behavior. Clinicians with profound medical expertise and a wealth of clinical practice play key roles in the communication, and they hold an unparalleled advantage in health communication by delivering authoritative and trustworthy information to the public. The capacity of health communication among clinicians in the nation is determined by various factors including professional characteristics, policy support, dissemination platforms and pathways, time and effort. Meanwhile, some problems in the research on the health communication capacity of clinicians remain, such as lack of well-established motivation systems, limited dissemination pathways, and imperfect evaluation frameworks. In some regions of China, health communication performance has been considered as part of the professional title evaluation for clinical physicians. Medical institutions and universities have also initiated relevant training and practice programs. It is crucial to improve evaluation frameworks, strengthen training pathways and effectiveness assessment, promote interdisciplinary integration, and enhance the role of clinicians in health communication in the future.

By selecting stable and detectable drug prototypes or metabolites in sewage samples, near real-time detection of disease conditions can be achieved. This study selected oseltamivir carboxylate, the primary metabolite of first-line antiviral oseltamivir, as a biomarker. Based on the concentration of oseltamivir carboxylate in wastewater, the consumption and usage rate of oseltamivir were calculated by reverse engineering. Quarterly sampling was conducted at 46 urban sewage treatment plants in representative 5 cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, from November 2022 to December 2023. The concentration range of oseltamivir acid in sewage samples is 1.270−1 279 ng/L, the daily mass load of oseltamivir per 1 000 inhabitants in the surveyed cities ranged from 9.560 to 544.7 mg/d, and the average utilization rate is 0.06‰−3.63‰. The research results indicate that in March 2023, Wuxi City experienced a spring influenza peak, while Bengbu, Tongling, Suzhou, and Changzhou City experienced a small summer influenza peak in May. In November and December 2023, Wuxi, Changzhou, and Bengbu City experienced a winter influenza peak, the results are consistent with the official statistics of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Influenza Center, which reflect the influenza epidemic situation in southern cities. The integration of this methodology with clinical diagnostic rates could provide near real-time data support for future influenza prevention and control strategies.

It is also an important cultural resource for nurturing medical students’ professional identity. The red doctor spirit provides cognitive resources and spiritual guidance for the formation of medical students’ professional identity， prompting medical students to form emotional identity， value identity， and behavioral identity with the profession of doctor， there by enabling medical students to more clearly understand their own missions and development goals， enhance their confidence in engaging in medical and health work， and strengthen their beliefs in working hard for the construction of a healthy China. In practice， to further enhance the leading power of the red doctor spirit in the formation of medical students’ professional identity， it is essential to deepen classroom teaching of the red doctor spirit to provide theoretical guidance； to strengthen the clinical practice of the red doctor spirit to provide practical guidance； and to foster a campus cultural atmosphere infused with the red doctor spirit ， enabling medical students to naturally develop a sense of identification with the medical profession through immersive cultural influence.

Unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a rare congenital malformation resulting from the failed development or premature involution of the sixth aortic arch during embryogenesis, leading to a failure to establish a connection with the main pulmonary artery. Currently, there is a notable lack of consensus regarding the surgical management of UAPA in China. Drawing upon the latest clinical research, this consensus aims to summarize surgical approaches and techniques to improve the clinical management of UAPA patients and serve as a scientific reference for physicians specializing in pediatric cardiology and structural heart disease. This consensus aims to promote the standardization of UAPA diagnosis and treatment, thereby facilitating improved patient outcomes and long-term management, and stimulating the continuous development and innovation of surgical treatment for this condition in China.

Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） compound prescriptions serve as crucial practical embodiments of TCM theoretical frameworks， characterized by their complex multi-component composition and multi-target interactions. The research on the material basis of their pharmacological effects has gradually become the key to promoting the modernization of TCM. In recent years， new ideas and theories regarding the research on pharmacodynamic substance basis of TCM compound prescriptions have been continuously proposed. This review systematically summarizes and reviews analytical techniques such as targeted fishing technology， spectrum-effect relationship analysis， serum pharmacochemistry， network pharmacology， high-throughput screening， and cell membrane chromatography. It is found that these techniques exhibit unique advantages in areas including target-specific analysis， component-pharmacological effect correlation analysis， identification of the material basis in vitro and in vivo， prediction of multi-target mechanisms， efficient screening of active ingredients， and analysis of interactions between cell membrane receptors. These techniques compensate for the shortcomings of traditional research methods， enhance the systematicness and precision of research on pharmacodynamic substance based TCM compound prescriptions， and can provide theoretical support for the promotion and clinical application of TCM compound prescriptions.

Objective:To explore the competitive attitude of students of medical college and its influencing factors.Methods:A sample of 382 first to third year medical students was selected with the method of random sampling. The questionnaire consists of three parts: demographics, Competitive Attitude Scale of Chinese Version and Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy. SPSS 25.0 was applied to perform the statistical analysis. Concrete methods that used involved statistical interpretation, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman rank sum correlation analysis. Results:The benign competitive attitude of students was 51.00(45.00，56.00) and the excessive competitive attitude was 35.00(31.00，38.00). There was a statistically significant difference in the score of benign competitive attitude among medical students of different grades( H=22.31, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of benign competitive attitudes among the medical students who enjoy teamwork ( Z=-4.53, P<0.001), who had role models to follow in the medical field ( Z=-3.99, P<0.001), and who had careful career planning ( Z=-2.19, P=0.029). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of excessive competitive attitudes among the medical students who enjoy teamwork ( Z=-2.47, P=0.014), who had role models to follow in the medical field ( Z=-2.89, P=0.004), and who had careful career planning ( Z=-2.32, P=0.021). There was a weak positive correlation between empathy and benign competitive attitude ( r=0.20, P<0.001), but a negative correlation between empathy and excessive attitude ( r=-0.36, P<0.001). Conclusions:Medical students had a good competitive attitude. Medical college should pay more attention to improving medical students' sense of teamwork, career planning ability and willingness to learn from role models, guide students to develop a benign competitive attitude and focus on improving their professional quality.

Background::Liver cancer remains the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, causing a heavy burden globally. An updated assessment of the global epidemiology of the liver cancer burden that addresses geographical disparities is necessary to better understand and promote healthcare delivery.Methods::Data were extracted from the GLOBOCAN 2022 database, including the number, crude, and age-standardized rates of incidence and mortality at the global, country, continent, and human development index (HDI) regional levels. Age-standardized rates (incidence and mortality) per 100,000 person-years were adjusted based on the Segi-Doll World standard population. The mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIR) for each region and country were calculated. The HDI and gross national income (GNI) for 2022 were obtained, and a Pearson correlation analysis was conducted with the incidence, mortality, and MIR.Results::In 2022, approximately 866,136 new liver cancer cases and 758,725 related deaths were recorded worldwide, with a global MIR of 0.86. Males had a disproportionately higher burden than females across all levels, and the highest burden was observed in the elderly population. Geographically, the regions with the highest incidence rates included Micronesia, Eastern Asia, and Northern Africa, and the regions with the highest mortality rates included Northern Africa, Southeastern Asia, Eastern Asia, and Micronesia. Notably, Mongolia had a strikingly high burden compared to other countries. The highest MIR was observed in North America and the lowest in Africa. Negative associations of HDI and GNI with liver cancer mortality and MIR were identified, irrespective of sex.Conclusions::The current liver cancer burden underscores the presence of remarkable geographic heterogeneity, which is particularly evident across countries with varying HDI levels, highlighting the urgent need to prioritize health accessibility and availability to achieve health inequities.

Objective:To explore the role of arginine metabolism in the inflammatory response to influenza A virus (FluA) infection.Methods:Eighteen-month-old mice were infected with FluA via nasal drip, with samples collected on the 6th day post-infection. The concentration of cytokines was determined by the Luminex multifactor assay, while the metabolites in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed using targeted metabolomic method. Correlation analysis was employed to examine the correlation between cytokines and metabolites. Macrophages were infected with FluA at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 and cultured with different concentrations of arginine for 24 h. The mRNA and protein expression levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and IL-10 were detected by real time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and Cytometric Bead Array (CBA).Results:In comparison to the control group, the levels of surfactant protein D (SP-D), TNF-α, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), IL-1α, IL-6, IL-10, recombinant S100 calcium binding protein (S100) A9, interferon inducible protein 10 (IP-10), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), matrix metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9), and Complement Factor D in BALF of FluA infection exhibited a significant elevation. The concentrations of arginine, aspartate, citrulline, glutamic acid, ornithine, proline, creatine, and sarcosine in arginine metabolism were up-regulated, which was correlated with most of elevated cytokine levels. The supplementation of arginine after FluA infection significantly decreased the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, but increased the level of IL-10 in macrophages.Conclusions:Arginine reduces the inflammatory response induced by FluA infection in macrophages, suggesting that it may be a potential intervention target for severe pulmonary inflammation following FluA infection.

Objective:To explore the effect of paeoniflorin on LPS-induced bronchial epithelial cell inflammatory response by regulating NF-κB pathway.Methods:BEAS-2B cells were cultured in vitro for paeoniflorin toxicity assay and concentration screening.BEAS-2B cells were divided into control group,LPS group,LPS+CAPE group,LPS+PF group and LPS+CAPE+PF group.Inflammatory responses were induced in BEAS-2B cells using LPS(1 μg/ml),and cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay after administration of paeoniflorin or CAPE interventions.Apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry.The levels of IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-17C and IL-10 were detected by ELISA.The protein expression levels of p53,Bcl-2,Bax,Cyclin1,NF-κB and p-p65 were detected by Western blot.Results:Paeoniflorin increased cell viability,inhibited apoptosis,increased IFN-γ and IL-10 levels(P<0.01),de-creased IL-4 and IL-17C levels(P<0.01),down-regulated the protein expression levels of p53,Bax,NF-κB and p-p65(P<0.01),and up-regulated the protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Cyclin1(P<0.01).The effect of paeoniflorin was more significant after the intervention of NF-κB inhibitor CAPE.Conclusion:Paeoniflorin reduces LPS-induced inflammatory factor levels in bronchial epithelial cells by regulating the NF-κB pathway,thereby suppressing the asthmatic inflammatory response.
