Objective: To analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with red blood cell transfusion reactions, the usage of red blood cell preparations, and the differences in the composition ratio of adverse reactions based on multi-center data from the Haemovigilance Network, in order to reveal the clinical characteristics of red blood cell transfusion and its underlying issues. Methods: Clinical data of patients who experienced transfusion reactions after red blood cell transfusion in the Haemovigilance Network from 2018 to 2023 were collected. The demographic characteristics of patients who experienced transfusion reactions with different types of red blood cell preparations, the utilization of these preparations, and the differences of the composition ratios of transfusion reactions were analyzed. Count data were expressed as numbers (n) or percentages (%), and comparisons between groups were performed using the Chi-square test. Results: Red blood cell transfusion reactions were more common in females (53.56%), with the majority of patients aged 50-69 years (35.54%). The Han polulation accounted for the vast majority of patients (92.77%), and patients in the hematology and obstetrics/gynecology departments had a relatively high proportion of transfusion reactions (13.26% and 14.26%, respectively). Leukocyte-reduced red blood cells and suspended red blood cells were the most common types of transfusion reactions reported among red blood cell preparations. Allergic reactions and non-hemolytic febrile reactions were the most common transfusion reactions, and there were significant differences in the composition ratios of allergic reactions (χ =869.89, P<0.05) and non-hemolytic febrile reactions (χ =812.75, P<0.05) across various types of red blood cell preparations. Conclusion: There are differences in the demographic characteristics and composition ratio of transfusion reactions among different red blood cell preparations. The management of red blood cell transfusion reactions should be tailored to patient characteristics and conditions, and the selection and use of blood products should be optimized to reduce or avoid the occurrence of transfusion reactions, such as considering the use of washed red blood cells for patients with a history of transfusion allergies or those prone to allergies.

The plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) are native species unique to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau with successful adaptation to the hypoxic environment. In this study, the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin concentration, mean hematocrit and mean volume of red blood cells were measured in plateau zokors and plateau pikas at different altitudes. Hemoglobin subtypes of two plateau animals were identified by mass spectrometry sequencing. The forward selection sites in two animals' hemoglobin subunits were analyzed by PAML4.8 program. Homologous modeling was used to analyze the effect of forward selection sites on the affinity of hemoglobin to oxygen. The adapting strategies of plateau zokors and plateau pikas to hypoxia at different altitudes were analyzed through comparing blood parameters between the two species. The results indicated that, with increasing altitudes, plateau zokors responded to hypoxia by increasing red blood cell count and decreasing red blood cell volume, while plateau pikas took the opposite strategies to plateau zokors. In erythrocytes of plateau pikas, both adult α₂β₂ and fetal α₂ε₂ hemoglobins were identified, while erythrocytes of plateau zokors only had adult α₂β₂ hemoglobin, however the affinities and the allosteric effects of the hemoglobin of plateau zokors were significantly higher than those of plateau pikas. Mechanistically, in the α and β subunits of hemoglobin of plateau zokors and pikas, the numbers and the sites of the positively selected amino acids as well as the side chain groups polarities and orientations of the amino acids differed significantly, which may result in the difference of the affinities to oxygen of hemoglobin between plateau zokors and pikas. In conclusion, the adaptive mechanisms to respond to hypoxia in blood properties of plateau zokors and plateau pikas are species-specific.

Quantity is the key factor to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medicines. It is very important to study and determine the traditional measuring units and their quantity values of Tibetan medicine. Based on the literature records of Tibetan medicine and combined with modern experimental verification and investigation research, this study determined the reference, name, and conversion rate of traditional measuring units of Tibetan medicine. Meanwhile, through large sample sampling and repeated quantification of refe-rence of basic units, its weight and volume were clarified. The modern SI volume and weight unit values corresponding to the traditional volume and weight units of Tibetan medicine were deduced, and the correctness, reliability, and practicability of these determination results were demonstrated. This study also put forward some specific suggestions and reference values for formulating the standards of measuring units of weight and volume of Tibetan medicine. It is of great significance in guiding the processing, production, and clinical treatment of Tibetan medicine, and promoting the standardization and standardized development of Tibetan medicine.

Objective To explore the mechanism of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid ( NMDA) receptor/MAPK/cAMPresponse element binding protein ( CREB) pathway involved in pain-related aversion mediated by anterior cingulate cortex. Methods A total of 42 healtlry SD rats were randomly divided into control group (Ctrl) , normal saline(NS) injection group (NS) , complete freund adjuvant (CFA) model group ( CFA ) , injected CFA into the soles of the foot and injected NS into rostral part of anterior cingulate cortex (rACC)group (CFA+NS) , injected NS into the soles of the foot and injected NS into rACC group (NS+NS) , injected CFA into the soles of the foot and injected NMDA receptor antagonist ( APV ) into rACC group (CFA+APV) , injected NS into the soles of the foot and injected APV into rACC group ( NS + APV ) with 6 rats in each group. Rats avoidance score was analysised and rat thermal foot contraction latency ( PWL) ws alserved, the expression of NMDA receptor in rACC region was detected by immunohistochemical staining, the expression of NMDA receptor, phosphorylated ERK( p-ERK) and phosphorylated CREB ( p - CREB ) in rACC region was detected by immunofluorescent staining, the number of Nissl bodies in rACC region was observed by Nissl staining, and the expression of NMDA receptor, MAPK, CREB, ERK, p-ERK, p-CREB, synaptosomal-associated protein 25 interaction protein 30 (SIP30) protein in rACCregion was detected by Western blotting, and Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of NMDA receptor, MAPK, CREB and ERK in the rACC region. Results Compared with the Ctrl group, the avoidance score and PWL decreased significantly and the expression of NMDA receptor, MAPK and CREB increased significantly in the CFA group (P<0. 05). Compared with the CFA+NS group, the number of Nissl bodies in CFA+APV and NS+APV groups increased significantly, while the expression of NMDA receptor, MAPK, CREB, p-ERK and p-CREB decreased significantly in NS+NS and NS+APV groups (P<0. 05). Conclusion NMDA receptor-MAPK-CREB signal pathway in rACC is involved in painrelated aversion, and inhibition of NMDA can reduce pain-related negative aversion.
