Transfusion and Anemia Expertise Initiative-Control/Avoidance of Bleeding developed a strategy for platelet and plasma infusion management in critically ill children based on systematic reviews and consensus meetings of international multidisciplinary experts. One good practice statement and six expert consensus statements were proposed for plasma and platelet transfusions in critically ill children following severe trauma, traumatic brain injury, and/or intracranial hemorrhage. This article introduces the specific methods and basis for the formation of recommendations in this part of the guide.

Objective: To design and establish a new method for flow cytometry-based detection of commonly observed highly expressed antigens on red blood cells, and to further evaluate the differences and distribution characteristics of antigen expression levels between ABO blood type homozygotes and heterozygotes in healthy individuals. Methods: Residual blood samples after donor blood type identification by Shanghai Blood Center in April 2024 were collected. Among them, samples of 19 homozygous and 19 heterozygous individuals of type A and type B were selected. Then the expression level of ABO antigen on red blood cells were detected using the new method established in this study and the traditional aldehyde fixed red blood cell method. Both methods were tested independently three times and the results were compared. Results: The mean values of the three detection results of the new method was (×10 /RBC): AA homozygous 3.3±0.5, AO heterozygous 2.8±0.3, BB homozygous 3.6±0.3, BO heterozygous 3.1±2.8. The mean values of the three detection results of the aldehyde fixation method were AA homozygous 5.9±0.9, AO heterozygous 5.0±1.4, BB homozygous 3.8±0.6, and BO heterozygous 3.3±0.4. The average antigen distribution of each genotype followed a normal distribution. Comparing the average antigen expression levels of homozygotes and heterozygotes, both methods showed that A/B homozygotes had higher antigen levels than heterozygotes, with AA being 1.17 to 1.18 times that of AO and BB being 1.15 to 1.16 times that of BO. Comparing the inter batch differences in the three test results of two methods, the new method showed no significant difference in the three test results for four genotypes (P>0.05). The aldehyde fixation method showed significant differences in the test results for all three genotypes (P<0.01) except for BB homozygotes (P>0.05). The reliability and reproducibility of the new method were better than those of the traditional aldehyde fixation method. Conclusion: The antigen expression level of ABO homozygotes is higher than that of heterozygotes, and the difference in antigen level between type A homozygotes and heterozygotes is slightly higher than that of type B. The new method is superior to traditional aldolization fixation methods.

Objective:To construct a biosafety evaluation index system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions.Methods:Based on previous laboratory biosafety evaluation work, relevant regulations and standards on biosafety in China were collected through literature research and expert consultations. Candidate indicators for constructing the biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions were selected, and a framework was established. Two rounds of expert questionnaires were conducted to determine the content of the index system based on experts′ evaluation, and each indicator′s relevance and importance were scored. Finally, two rounds of Delphi consultations were carried out, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to calculate the weights of indicators.Results:The response rates for the total four rounds of questionnaire surveys were all 100%. The first two rounds focused on determining the framework, while the latter two focused on determining the weights for each indicator. The authority coefficients of the expert consultations for the two rounds of weights were 0.65 and 0.70, respectively, indicating the reliability of the research results. In the final round of survey, the Kendall′s coefficients of concordance at each level were all greater than 0.1. Through statistical testing, the P-values were all less than 0.05, indicating good coordination of expert opinions. Ultimately, we established an operational biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions, consisting of 4 primary indicators, 26 secondary indicators, and 119 tertiary indicators, with additional deduction items, bonus items, unacceptable items, and monitoring indicators.Conclusions:Based on scientific theory, a biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions was constructed, achieving the integration of routine and emergency measures. This system can be used for self-assessment of laboratory biosafety during emergency public health events, addressing the lack of unified standards in biosafety evaluation. Through regular self-assessment, it can enhance the level of biosafety management in medical institution laboratories, to realize the value of application and dissemination.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,differential diagnosis and prognosis of atypical fibroxanthoma(AFX).Methods Pathological features of 15 cases of AFX and 3 cases of pleomorphic dermal sarcoma(PDS)misdiagnosed as AFX were retrospectively analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical EnVision staining technology.Clinical information was collected and analyzed,and the relevant literatures were re-viewed.Results The age of the 15 patients with AFX ranged from 18 to 78 years,with an average age of 57 years.4 cases occurred in the head and neck,and 11 cases occurred in the trunk and limbs.3 patients with PDS misdiagnosed as AFX were aged from 56 to 60 years,with an average age of 58 years.The tumors were located in the trunk and limbs.Microscopically,15 cases of AFX and 3 cases of PDS misdiagnosed as AFX were composed of proliferative pleo-morphic and atypical spindle cells interspersed with a varying number of multinucleated cells.15 cases of AFX tumors were superficial and located in the dermis.In 3 cases of PDS misdiagnosed as AFX,1 case was located in subcutane-ous adipose tissue,1 case had superficial subcutaneous extension,and the third case had positive basal margin.Immu-nohistochemically,the immunophenotypes of the two groups were consistent.CD10 was expressed in all cases,CD68 was positive in most cases,SMA was expressed in a few cases,desmin was focal expressed in a very few cases,and S-100,SOX10,CD34,HMB-45,Melan A,STAT6 and CK(AE1/AE3)were not expressed in all cases.Ki67 prolifera-tion index ranged from 2％to 30％.15 patients with AFX were followed up from 12 to 108 months.One patient had tumor recurrence 1 year and 3 years after operation due to positive basal margin.Most of the other patients underwent extended resection after diagnosis and were in good condition without tumor recurrence and metastasis.3 cases of PDS misdiagnosed as AFX were followed up for 31 to 78 months.One patient had lung metastasis after 2 years,one patient recurred 4 times after operation,and the other patient died after 4 times of recurrence.Conclusion AFX is a rare dis-ease with similar pathological characteristics and immunophenotype to PDS.AFX can be diagnosed only when the tumor is small and completely confined to the dermis.When the maximum diameter of the tumor is more than 3 cm,or the presence of any form of subcutaneous extension requires a high level of vigilance for PDS.Careful differentiation and correct classification of AFX and PDS are very important for the treatment and prognosis of the disease.

Respiratory viral infections such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus infections continue to rapidly increase in patients worldwide.Host immune responses to respiratory viruses play a key role in the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of the disease.Respiratory viruses not only activate antiviral immune responses,but also may lead to uncontrolled inflammatory re-sponses,characterized by significant release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in severely infected patients,resulting in lymphopenia,lymphocyte dysfunction,and abnormalities in immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages.These respiratory virus-induced im-mune abnormalities may lead to microbial infection,septic shock,and severe multiorgan dysfunction.Therefore,clarifying the immu-nopathogenic mechanisms of patients with respiratory viral infections can guide clinical treatment and patient prognosis;in addition,rational regulation of the immune response of respiratory viruses in the host,including enhancing antiviral immunity while suppressing systemic inflammation,may be the key to successful treatment.This review mainly discusses the immunomodulation and related clini-cal treatment strategies for respiratory viral infections to help develop new therapeutic strategies for respiratory viral infections and pa-tient prognosis.

Objective:To develop a quality assessment index system for infection prevention and control in integrated medical and elderly care facilities, providing methods for assessing infection control quality and a theoretical basis for enhancing infection prevention and control capabilities.Methods:This study initially constructed a framework for the quality evaluation index system through literature reviews, work specifications and standards and expert interviews. The Delphi method was employed to conduct two rounds of consultations with 19 experts to evaluate the necessity, feasibility, stability, and sensitivity of the indicators. The expert′s active coefficient, authority coefficient, degree of consensus, and coordination were statistically analyzed. The indicators were revised based on expert opinions to finalize the evaluation index system. The weights of the evaluation dimensions were determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), while the weights of the indicators were determined using the proportional allocation method. Reliability was assessed via Cronbach′s α coefficient, and content validity was verified through the Content Validity Index ( CVI). Results:After two rounds of expert consultation, the expert positive coefficient, expert authority coefficient ( Cr) and expert coordination coefficient Kendall′s W was 100%, 0.992 and 0.634 ( P<0.001), indicating high expert authority, good concentration and coordination of opinions. The assessment index system for infection prevention and control quality in integrated medical and elderly care facilities was ultimately constructed, comprising three primary indicators, 18 secondary indicators and 68 tertiary indicators. Among the primary indicators, the process quality had the highest weight of 0.338. Within the process quality, the secondary indicators with the highest weights were infection control material allocation, hand hygiene quality and the management of cluster outbreaks. A total of 11 unique evaluation indicators for integrated medical and elderly care facilities were established, with the highest weighted indicator being the rate of standardized surveillance of infection-related risk factors. Reliability and validity analyses demonstrated that the overall Cronbach′s α coefficient of the system was 0.991, and the Scale-level Content Validity Index was 0.936, confirming good reliability and validity. Conclusion:The evaluation index system constructed in this study can serve as an effective assessment tool for the quantitative evaluation of infection control quality in integrated medical and elderly care facilities. Furthermore, it is recommended that the system undergo continuous optimization concerning its application.

Objective:To establish a method for determination of fluoride in water using a fully automated biochemical analyzer (abbreviated as this method).Methods:Based on the parameters of the fully automatic biochemical analyzer, appropriate reagent volumes and reaction time were optimized to determine fluoride ions in water within the standard curve range (0.0 - 2.0 mg/L). The method was validated through evaluation of linear range, detection limit, precision, accuracy, and comparative analysis with the manual measurement results of fluoride reagent spectrophotometric method specified in the "Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water - Part 5: Inorganic Nonmetallic indices" (GB/T 5750.5-2023).Results:Within the range of 0.0 - 2.0 mg/L fluoride mass concentration, the absolute values of the correlation coefficients were > 0.999 0 and the detection limit of this method was 0.082 mg/L. The relative standard deviation for the determination of fluoride level in water samples with low, medium and high fluoride mass concentrations was 4.03%, 2.16% and 1.68%, respectively. The spiked recovery rates were 98.1%, 99.5%, and 100.2%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the results obtained by this method and manual measurement ( t = 1.07, P = 0.295). Conclusion:This method exhibits high sensitivity, accuracy, and efficiency in detecting fluoride, enabling rapid sample detection through instrumental automation instead of manual operation.

Objective To analyze the practical value of spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction techniquein evaluating triplane fractures of the distal tibia.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on183 patients with triplane fractures of the distal tibia admitted to Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital from January 2021 to March 2023.All patients underwent both X-ray and spiral CT examinations.Taking surgical reduction results as the gold standard for diagnosis,the diagnostic accuracies of X-ray examination and spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique for triplane fractures of the distal tibia were analyzed.Results Fracture classification according to the number of fracture fragments showed that among the 183 patients with triplane fractures of the distal tibial,there were 44 cases of four-part fractures,62 cases of three-part fractures,and 77 cases of two-part fractures.The classification by the location of epiphyseal injury in the distal tibia showed 175 cases of lateral type and 8 cases of medial type.According to whether the fracture line involved the articular surface,they were categorized into 94 cases of type I,60 cases of type II,and 29 cases of type III.For the classification of the number of fracture fragments,X-ray misdiagnosed 9 cases of four-part fractures as three-part or two-part fractures,and 21 cases of three-part fractures as two-part fractures,resulting in a diagnostic accuracy of 83.60%.For theclassification of fracture line and articular surface position,X-ray led to misdiagnosis or inaccurate diagnosis in 39 cases,with a diagnostic accuracy of 78.69%.When spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique was used to classify the number of fracture fragments,only 1 case of four-part fracture was misdiagnosed as three-part fracture,and 2 cases of three-part fractures were misdiagnosed as four-part fractures or two-part fractures,yielding a diagnostic accuracy of 98.36%.For the diagnosis of the positional relationship of the fracture line to the articular surface,spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique had 8 misdiagnoses,with a corresponding diagnostic accuracy of 95.63%.Conclusion Spiral CT three-dimensional reconstruction technique can stereoscopically display the spatial information of the triplane fractures of the distal tibia,such as the location,shape,type,and articular surface,exhibiting high accuracy for classification diagnosis and significant application value in the reduction and treatment of triplane fractures of the distal tibia.

Objective:To analyze the results of national external quality assessment (EQA) for transfusion compatibility test in 2023, and provide reference for quality management of clinical transfusion compatibility testing.Methods:The EQA of clinical transfusion compatibility testing by NCCL was performed 3 times in 2023 among included laboratories. The panel consisting of 22 samples was distributed to 4 186 laboratories across 31 provinces (Including 2 961 tertiary hospital laboratories, 1 085 secondary hospital laboratories, 23 primary hospital laboratories, 106 blood station laboratories and 11 independent clinical laboratories). Each panel contains 11 red blood cell and 11 plasma samples per 1.5 ml/tube. Each participant laboratory of the EQA program was required to carry out the detection and return results in expected time. Statistical analysis and evaluation on the reported results were conducted by NCCL from the aspects of regional distribution, laboratory grading, testing methodology, reagent and testing system usage.Results:The qualification rates of EQA for five items including ABO positive typing, ABO reverse typing, RhD blood type, antibody screening, and cross matching were 96.68%, 95.10%, 96.46%, 95.32%, and 91.04%, respectively. The EQA qualification rate of tertiary hospital laboratories was 87.77% (2 599/2 961), which was significantly higher than the 77.79% (844/1 085) of secondary hospital laboratories. There were significant differences in the qualification rate of participating laboratories among different regions. The utilization rates of micro column agglutination method in ABO positive typing, ABO reverse typing, RhD blood type, antibody screening, and cross matching were 80.81% (10 080/12 474), 75.06% (9 337/12 440), 81.38% (10 118/12 433), 89.59% (11 104/12 394) and 76.25% (9 495/12 453), respectively. The qualification rate of micro column agglutination method was significantly higher than that of saline slide method in ABO positive typing detection ( P<0.05). The qualification rate of micro column agglutination method was significantly higher than that of the polyamine method and anti-human globulin test tube method in antibody screening ( P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in qualification rate of 7 reagents in ABO reverse typing, antibody screening and cross matching ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the qualification rate between the two detection systems for other reagents, except for the ABO reverse typing where the qualification rate of reagent 1 in a single system was higher than that in a mixed system ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The testing capabilities of clinical laboratories in different regions and different type varied significantly in China. Micro column agglutination method was the most popular selection in transfusion compatibility testing. The regents used in these laboratories showed good performance. However, the detection efficiency of some reagents still need to be improved. EQA could be used to evaluate, monitor, and improve the quality of testing.
