Objective: To review the current development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the field of transfusion medicine. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the Clarivate Web of Science Database from inception to December 2024 for literature related to AI and transfusion. A total of 4 775 publications were identified. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 133 original studies were ultimately included and analyzed using a narrative synthesis approach. Results: Research on AI in transfusion has surged since 2020 (accounting for 77% of all publications), with China ranking second globally in publication volume. Among the included studies, 69.2% focused on predicting individual transfusion needs, followed by inventory management (8.3%), diagnosis and prediction of adverse transfusion reactions (6.0%), factors influencing transfusion outcomes (5.3%), blood group identification (5.3%), blood quality testing (4.5%), and precise blood volume measurement (1.5%). Additionally, 4.5% of the studies were published in journals with an impact factor greater than 10; 19.5% developed software or applications; 31.5% were multi-center studies; 48.1% utilized decision tree methods, while 31.5% employed neural network approaches; and 14.2% conducted external validation of the algorithms. Conclusion: AI demonstrates significant potential in transfusion risk prediction, decision support, and blood management. However, challenges remain, including limited model generalizability, insufficient algorithm interpretability, and barriers to clinical translation. The deep integration of AI with transfusion medicine will accelerate the advent of precision transfusion era, maximizing blood resource utilization, reducing waste, and ensuring transfusion safety.

Objective: To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 474 newborns with hyperbilirubinemia, and to investigate the clinical characteristics of hyperbilirubinemia caused by ABO hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (ABO-HDFN) and factors influencing the phototherapy duration. Methods: A total of 474 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia treated in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2019 to January 2023 were enrolled. Blood type identification and the standard serological tests (direct antiglobulin test, serum free antibody test, and antibody elution test) were performed for all neonates. Baseline clinical data were collected and analyzed. According to the results of the hemolysis tests, neonates were divided into hemolytic jaundice group and non-hemolytic jaundice group. Clinical indicators, including hemoglobin levels, length of hospital stay, and phototherapy duration, were compared between the two groups. A multiple linear regression model was used to explore clinical factors influencing the duration of phototherapy. Results: Among the 474 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia, 354 were diagnosed with ABO-HDFN (hemolytic group), while 120 were without ABO-HDFN (non-hemolytic group). The incidence of ABO-HDFN in neonates with blood type A (55.93%, 198/354) was significantly higher than those with blood type B (44.07%, 156/354) (P<0.05). Furthermore, neonates born to multiparous women had a significantly higher ABO-HDFN incidence (81.56%, 146/179) than first-born neonates (70.51%, 208/295) (P<0.05). Neonates in the hemolytic group had significantly lower hemoglobin levels (170.67±21.86 g/L vs 178.99±22.05 g/L, P<0.001), lower red blood cell counts (4.66±0.63×10
/L vs 4.89±0.59×10
/L, P<0.05), and lower hematocrit (50.05±6.56% vs 52.61±6.75%, P<0.05) compared to the non-hemolytic group. Additionally, the hemolytic group had significantly longer hospital stays (6 [5, 9] days vs 6 [4, 8] days), longer phototherapy duration (62 [38, 84.25] h vs 53 [34.25, 64.77] h), and higher frequency of jaundice episodes (9 [7, 13] times vs 8 [6, 12] times] compared to the non-hemolytic group (all P<0.05). Regression analysis indicated that a positive indirect Coombs test and multiparity were independent risk factors associated with prolonged phototherapy duration (P<0.05). Conclusion: ABO incompatibility is the leading cause of hemolytic disease in neonates, particularly in cases where the mother has blood type O and the neonate has blood type A. In such cases, close monitoring of bilirubin levels is strongly recommended. Multiparous pregnancies increase the risk of alloimmune hemolysis. Therefore, neonates born to multiparous women may require more frequent bilirubin monitoring and appropriate prenatal interventions when necessary. Additionally, changes in indicators such as hemoglobin level and red blood cell count should be closely monitored as early warning indicators for hemolytic anemia and bilirubin elevation.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) for treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and the factors affecting the prognosis.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 51 patients with DLBCL who underwent auto-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from March 2019 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into high-risk group (19 cases) and non-high-risk group (low-risk, low-moderate-risk and moderate-high-risk groups, 32 cases) based on different risk stratifications; patients were divided into the germinal center B-cell (GCB) group (29 cases) and non-GCB group (22 cases) based on different cellular origins; patients were divided into BEAM group (39 cases) and BeEAM group (12 cases) based on different conditioning regimens before auto-HSCT; patients were divided into auto-HSCT consolidation therapy group (41 cases) and auto-HSCT after relapsed/refractory group (10 cases) based on different transplantation timings. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis and log-rank was used for subgroup comparison.Results:All 51 patients achieved the hematopoietic reconstitution with no transplantation-related death within 100 d. Before auto-HSCT, 39 cases achieved complete remission and 12 cases (23.5%) achieved partial remission. After auto-HSCT, all cases achieved complete remission. Follow-up was until May 31, 2024, and the median follow-up time [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 51 DLBCL patients was 33 (8, 43) months. After 51 DLBCL patients receiving auto-HSCT, 7 patients relapsed and 6 cases died including 3 cases with relapse-related death and 3 cases with non relapse-related death. The 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 78.5% (95% CI: 64.4%-92.6%) and 85.5% (95% CI: 73.2%-97.8%), respectively. The 3-year PFS rate was 94.7% (95% CI: 84.7%-104.7%) in the high-risk group, 82.2% (95% CI: 67.9%-96.5%) in the non-high-risk group, and the difference in the PFS was not statistically significant between the high-risk group and the non-high-risk group ( P = 0.158). The 3-year PFS rate was 80.1% (95% CI: 64.4%-95.8%) in the GCB group, 88.1% (95% CI: 72.3%-104.2%) in the non-GCB group, and the difference in PFS was not statistically significant between the 2 groups ( P = 0.803). The 3-year PFS rate was 84.9% (95% CI: 72.6%-97.2%) in BEAM group, 61.1% (95% CI: 25.0%-97.2%) in the BeEAM group, and the difference in PFS was not statistically significant between the 2 groups ( P = 0.106). The 3-year PFS rate was 85.4% (95% CI: 73.4%-97.4%) in the auto-HSCT consolidation therapy group, 64.3% (95% CI: 31.4%-96.4%) in the auto-HSCT after relapsed/refractory group, and the difference in PFS was not statistically significant between the 2 groups ( P = 0.171). Conclusions:auto-HSCT is an effective therapy method for DLBCL.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of rituximab injection combined with CHOP regimen (cyclophosphamide+doxorubicin+vincristine+prednisolone) in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:One hundred and twenty patients with DLBCL who treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 2019 to June 2022 were selected as the study object. They were randomly divided into the study group (60 cases) and the control group (60 cases). The control group was treated with CHOP regimen, and the study group was treated with rituximab injection on the basis of CHOP regimen. The clinical efficacy, inflammatory reaction, immune function and adverse reaction were evaluated after 6 courses of treatment.Results:After treatment, the total clinical effective rate in the study group was higher than that in the control group: 88.33%(53/60) vs. 70.00%(42/60), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 6.11, P<0.05). Before treatment, the levels of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05); after treatment, the levels of serum IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased, and the levels of serum IL-6 and TNF-α in the study group were lower than those in the control group: (223.56 ± 21.28) ng/L vs. (267.35 ± 25.36) ng/L, (9.34 ± 2.75) μg/L vs. (11.96 ± 3.83) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Before treatment, the levels of serum immunoglobulin (Ig) A, IgM and IgG in the two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05); after treatment, the levels of serum IgA, IgM and IgG were decreased, but the levels of serum IgA, IgM and IgG in the study group were higher than those in the control group: (1.83 ± 0.46) g/L vs. (1.34 ± 0.34) g/L, (1.15 ± 0.22) g/L vs. (0.83 ± 0.24) g/L, (10.67 ± 1.65) g/L vs. (8.02 ± 1.62) g/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the incidence of thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, gastrointestinal reaction, bone marrow suppression and liver function injury in the study group were lower than those in the control group: 6.67%(4/60) vs. 20.00%(12/60), 15.00%(9/60) vs. 31.67%(19/60), 30.00%(18/60) vs. 58.33%(35/60), 5.00%(3/60) vs. 16.67%(10/60), 10.00%(6/60) vs. 25.00%(15/60), there were statistical differences ( χ2 = 4.62, 4.66, 9.77, 4.33, 4.88, P<0.05). Conclusions:The treatment effect of rituximab injection combined with CHOP regimen in DLBCL is significant, which can reduce the inflammatory reaction of the body, reduce the damage of immune function, and reduce the adverse reactions of chemotherapy.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for fetal growth restriction (FGR) in late pregnancy of patients with gestational hypertension (HDP) and establish a predictive model.Methods:A retrospective collection of clinical data was conducted on 315 late pregnancy HDP patients at Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022. The patients were divided into FGR group and non FGR group based on whether FGR occurred. We collected clinical data of HDP patients and used univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to evaluate the risk factors for FGR in late pregnancy of HDP patients and establish a prediction model. Hosmer Lemeshow tested the goodness of fit of the model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of the predictive model for FGR in late pregnancy of HDP patients.Results:The incidence of late pregnancy FGR in 315 patients with HDP was 26.35%(83/315). Univariate analysis showed that the pre pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of the FGR group was lower than that of the non FGR group, and the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, umbilical artery pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and end systolic flow velocity/end diastolic flow velocity ratio (S/D) were higher than those of the non FGR group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a decrease in BMI before pregnancy and an increase in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, PI, RI, and S/D were independent risk factors for FGR in late pregnancy in HDP patients (all P<0.05). The predictive equation for late pregnancy FGR in HDP patients was y=-4.246+ 0.062×pre-pregnancy BMI+ 0.080×systolic blood pressure+ 0.102×diastolic blood pressure+ 0.716×PI+ 1.200×RI+ 0.382×S/D. The Hosmer Lemeshow test showed P>0.05, indicating a good goodness of Fit. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity of the model for predicting FGR in late pregnancy of HDP patients were 0.939(95% CI: 0.907-0.963), 86.75%, and 87.07%, respectively. Conclusions:Pre-pregnancy BMI, blood pressure, and umbilical artery blood flow parameters are influencing factors for the occurrence of FGR in late pregnancy in HDP patients. The model established based on these factors has high predictive value for FGR in late pregnancy in HDP patients.
