[Objective] To assess the data characteristics of quality monitoring indicators for red blood cell (RBC) preparations, so as to provide reference for continuous improvement of blood quality. [Methods] The quality inspection data of 6 types of RBC preparations from Chongqing blood center from 2019 to 2023 were summarized. For the same indicators, the numerical range of quality indicators was monitored by comparing different types of preparations with the national standard GB18469. The loss and/or damage to RBCs caused by different preparation process were compared, and the impact of different preparation processes on the quality of RBCs was discussed. [Results] The appearance and sterility test compliance rates of the six types of RBC preparations were both 100%, while the compliance rates of other items were all ≥75%. The compliance rate of hematocrit for suspended RBCs was the lowest at 75%, with a median of 0.52, which was close to the lower limit of GB18469, while the medians of hematocrit for the other types were all at the midline level of GB18469. The Hb content for different types of RBCs was significantly higher than the corresponding requirements of GB18469 (P<0.05). The hemolysis rate at the end of storage for different types of RBCs was significantly lower than the requirements of GB18469 (P<0.05). The 1 U leukoreduction process resulted in a hemoglobin content loss of about 5% and had a significant impact on the hemolysis rate at the end of storage (P<0.05). The washing process resulted in a hemoglobin content loss of <3% and had no significant impact on the hemolysis rate at the end of storage (P>0.05). The concentration process resulted in a hemoglobin content loss of <3% and had a significant impact on the hemolysis rate at the end of storage (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The impact of different processes on RBC preparations is within a controllable range and meets the requirements of GB18469. The quality monitoring data can provide a reference for clinical blood selection, effectiveness evaluation and revision of related standards.

OBJECTIVE To predict and validate the potential mechanisms of Kaixinsan （KXS） in ameliorating neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease （AD）. METHODS Network pharmacology was employed to identify core anti- inflammatory components and key inflammatory targets of KXS for AD. Gene ontology （GO） functional annotation， Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment， and molecular docking were performed. Based on these findings， male SD rats were used to establish an AD model via chronic D-galactose induction. The effects of KXS on AD rats were evaluated， including quantitative behavioral score， learning and memory parameters （escape latency， platform crossings， platform quadrant distance and time）， organ indexes （heart， liver， spleen， thymus）， histopathological alterations in the hippocampus， and expressions of inflammation-related pathway proteins and their upstream/downstream regulators. RESULTS Core anti-inflammatory components of KXS for AD included gomisin B， panaxytriol， gomisin A， enhydrin， vulgarin and panaxydol， while key inflammatory targets involved nuclear factor-kappa B subunit 1（ NFKB1）， nuclear factor-κB p65（ NF-κB p65）， interleukin-1β（ IL- 1β）， IL-6， Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）， tumor necrosis factor， nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain- containing receptor 3 （NLRP3） and caspase-1 （CASP1）. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment involved inflammatory response， phosphorylation and the NF-κB signaling pathway. Molecular docking confirmed strong binding affinities between core components and key targets. Animal experiments demonstrated that， compared to the model group， KXS significantly alleviated histopathological damage （e.g.， neuronal shrinkage， reduced Nissl bodies in hippocampal CA1， CA3， and DG regions）， increased organ indexes （except for liver index） and Nissl-stained positive cells， improved learning and memory performance， and reduced behavioral scores （at the 8 and 12 weeks of the experiment） and protein expression of NF- κB p65， phosphorylated NF- κB p65， TLR4， NLRP3， CASP1 and IL-1β. CONCLUSIONS KXS effectively mitigates neuroinflammation， reduces hippocampal neuronal injury， and enhances learning and memory ability in AD rats， potentially through suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway and its upstream/ downstream regulators.

Objective: Data on syncopal donation-related vasovagal reaction (DRVR) collected from 74 blood centers between 2020 and 2023 was statistically analyzed to provide a reference for developing preventive strategies against syncopal DRVR. Methods: Data on blood donation adverse reactions and basic information of donors from 2020 to 2023 were collected through the information management system at monitoring sentinel sites. Statistical analysis was performed on the following aspects of syncopal DRVR: characteristics of donors who experienced syncope, reported incidence, triggers, duration, presence and occurrence time of syncope-related trauma, clinical management including outpatient and inpatient treatment, and severity grading. Results: From 2020 to 2023, 45 966 donation-related adverse reactions were recorded. Of these, 1 665 (3.72%) cases were syncopal DRVR. The incidence of syncopal DRVR decreased with age, being the highest in the 18-22 age group. Incidence was significantly higher in female donors than male donors, in first-time donors than repeat donors, and in university and individual donors than group donors (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among different blood donation locations (P>0.05). The top three triggers were tension, fatigue, and needle phobia or fear of blood. Among syncopal DRVR cases, 60.36% occurred during blood collection, 87.63% lasted for less than 60 seconds, and 5.05% were accompanied by trauma. Notably, 57.14% of these traumas occurred after donor had left the blood collection site. Syncope severity was graded based on required treatment: grade 1 (fully recovered without treatment, 95.50%); grade 2 (recovered after outpatient treatment, 4.02%); and grade 3 (recovered after inpatient treatment, 0.48%). Conclusion: By analyzing the data of syncopal DRVR cases, it is possible to provide a reference for formulating blood donor safety policies.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the underlying mechanism of the efficacy of Levo-tetrahydropalmatine （l-THP） in alleviating chronic pain and identify the key metabolites and metabolic pathways for l-THP regulation. MethodA classical chronic constrictive injury （CCI） model was built in rats’ bodies， and the pain intensity was evaluated by detecting the mechanical withdrawal threshold. On the sixth day after surgery， oral administration of l-THP （64 mg·kg^-1） and positive control drug pregabalin （Pre， 30 mg·kg^-1） was performed on rats. After the last administration following consecutive five times of administration， ipsilateral spinal cord tissues were collected for widely-targeted metabonomics， with eight rats in each group. Differential metabolites （DEMs） were identified according to the standard of VIP>1.0 and P<0.05， and functional enrichment and interaction analyses of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） were performed to obtain the key metabolites and metabolic pathways associated with the analgesic effects of l-THP. ResultIn behavioral science， administration of both l-THP and Pre significantly improved mechanical hyperalgesia in CCI rats （P<0.01）， thus mitigating pain. Metabonomic analysis results revealed that l-THP administration corrected the aberrant metabolic profile in the spinal cord of CCI rats. Meanwhile， 53 DEMs were called back， including several classical pain biomarkers such as sphingosine-1-phosphate （S1P）， cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP）， acetylcholine， and glutamate. Functional enrichment analysis of the DEMs indicated the involvement of metabolic pathways such as ferroptosis， autophagy， neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions， phospholipase D and cAMP-related signaling pathways， glutathione metabolism， and cofactor biosynthesis in mediating the effects of l-THP on the metabolic profile of the spinal cord. Further analyses on the relative metabolite abundance and metabolic pathways indicated that by significantly decreasing the relative levels of glutamate （P<0.01） and glycine （P<0.01） in the spinal cord， l-THP can promote the synthesis of reduced glutathione （GSH） and increase the ratio of reduced/oxidized GSH （P<0.05）. Additionally， it can relieve oxidative stress in the spinal cord of CCI rats and significantly reduce the acetyl-CoA level （P<0.01） to finally inhibit ferroptosis occurrence. Conclusionl-THP may exert analgesic effects by regulating multiple metabolic pathways including GSH metabolism， ferroptosis， cofactor biosynthesis， and amino acid synthesis to correct the aberrant metabolic profile in the spinal cord of CCI rats. Ferroptosis and GSH metabolism may be the key pathways for l-THP regulation， with glutamate， glycine， glutathione， and acetyl-CoA as the key metabolites.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

【Objective】 This study endeavors to introduce the statistical process control (SPC) method to analyze the quality control index concerning red blood cells in additive solution with leukocytes reduced, with the aspiration to advance the effective utilization of blood quality control data, thereby providing empirical foundations for the continual enhancement of blood quality. 【Methods】 Between 2020 and 2022, test data pertaining to the quality control index of red blood cells in additive solution with leukocytes reduced were amassed from six blood stations in Chongqing area. Utilizing Minitab software, the SPC analysis was carried out, p-control charts were delineated, the non-conformance rates of each quality control index along with their 95% confidence intervals were computed, as well as the Process Capability Index (Z value). 【Results】 In accordance with the Whole Blood and Blood Components Quality Requirements, the appraisal of the quality control indexes for red blood cells in additive solution with leukocytes reduced manifested a conformity rate of 100% for appearance, end-of-storage hemolysis rate and sterility test. Nonetheless, the conformity rates for volume, hemoglobin, hematocrit and residual leukocytes did not attain 100%, albeit all were ≥75%. Through the employment of binomial distribution-based p-control charts, the controlled state of the production process was discerned. Although the overarching conformity rate satisfied the national standard stipulations, it was discerned that there were out-of-control points concerning volume, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and residual leukocytes across different institutions, exhibiting palpable trends. The non-conformance rates of all quality control indexes were less than 25%, yet at a 95% confidence level, the residual leukocyte counts from institutions B, C, E, and F did not adhere to the stipulations (exceeding 25%). By architecting the ability evaluation index Z value for count data process capability analysis, it was unveiled that the volume of institution E, the hematocrit of institutions B, C, and F, and the residual leukocytes Z values of all six blood collection and supply institutions were below 2, hinting at avenues for amelioration. 【Conclusion】 The SPC method anchored in binomial distribution exhibits substantial application merit in blood component quality management, facilitating real-time surveillance of blood collection, preparation, and storage procedures.
