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.

Hepatitis E is an acute and self-limiting viral hepatitis caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). It has a higher mortality rate among immunosuppressed patients and pregnant women infected with HEV. Although HEV infections in humans are mostly caused by contaminated water or food worldwide, the incidence of transfusion-transmitted hepatitis E is continuously rising. Additionally, the prevalence of serum anti-HEV IgG in the blood donors in China is at a relatively high level, making it worth considering screening blood donors for HEV. This article briefly reviews the globally reported cases of transfusion-transmitted hepatitis E and the HEV screening strategies for blood donations.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the comprehensive value of novel oral anticoagulant drugs （NOACs） after major orthopedic surgery. METHODS The evaluation evidence was collected through literature research； evidence and value：impact on decision-making （EVIDEM） framework was introduced to integrate the evaluation process； the multi-criteria decision analysis （MCDA） method was used to construct a multi-dimensional evaluation system； the weights assigned to each evaluation criterion were determined by the combination of Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process， and the rivaroxaban， dabigatran and apixaban were comprehensively evaluated. RESULTS The clinical comprehensive evaluation system of NOACs after major orthopedic surgery was successfully established， and the final clinical comprehensive evaluation weights of NOACs （rivaroxaban， dabigatran， apixaban） after major orthopedic surgery were calculated， with scores of 0.399 7 for rivaroxaban， 0.244 4 for apixaban， and 0.355 9 for dabigatran， indicating that rivaroxaban demonstrated the highest overall clinical value. Among them， rivaroxaban had the highest weight score in the evaluation of pharmaceutical characteristics， cost-effectiveness and other attributes in a single dimension. In terms of efficacy and safety evaluation， apixaban had the highest weighting score. CONCLUSIONS Among NOACs， rivaroxaban is more suitable for routine anticoagulation management after major orthopedic surgery， especially in terms of pharmacological properties， cost-effectiveness and other attributes.

Background and Aims:There is currently no consensus on whether the pancreaticoduodenectomy with Heidelberg triangle operation(PDTRIANGLE)or the standard radical pancreaticoduodenectomy(PDSTANDARD)is more beneficial for patients with pancreatic cancer,and no large-scale multicenter studies have confirmed this.Therefore,this study was conducted to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of PDTRIANGLE and PDSTANDARD for treating pancreatic cancer through a Meta-analysis. Methods:Relevant literature comparing the two surgical approaches comparing the two surgical approaches for treating pancreatic cancer was screened from Chinese and English databases based on inclusion criteria.The search timeframe extended from the inception of the databases to May 2024,and Review Manager 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis of the extracted outcome variables. Results:A total of 6 retrospective studies were included,comprising 658 patients,with 315 in the PDTRIANGLE group and 343 in the PDSTANDARD group.The Meta-analysis results showed that the operative time in the PDTRIANGLE group was longer than that in the PDSTANDARD group(OR=1.52,95％CI=0.42-2.61,P=0.007),the lymph node dissection rate was higher in the PDTRIANGLE group(OR=0.70,95％CI=-0.4-1.01,P＜0.000 01),and the R0 resection rate was also higher in the PDTRIANGLE group(OR=1.63,95％CI=1.03-2.58,P=0.04).The incidence rates of postoperative lymphatic fistula and diarrhea were higher in the PDTRIANGLE group compared to the PDSTANDARD group(OR=5.60,95％CI=1.81-17.29,P=0.003;OR=0.13,95％CI=0.07-0.20,P＜0.000 1).The length of hospital stay was longer in the PDTRIANGLE group(OR=0.40;95％CI=-0.14-0.65,P=0.003).The overall survival rates at 1 and 2 years were significantly better in the PDTRIANGLE group compared to the PDSTANDARD group(OR=2.19,95％CI=-1.27-3.76,P=0.005;OR=1.65,95％CI=-1.01-2.67,P=0.04),and the 1-year disease-free survival rate was also significantly higher in the PDTRIANGLE group(OR=3.71,95％CI=2.27-6.07,P＜0.000 01),although the difference in the 2-year disease-free survival rate between the two groups was not statistically significant(OR=2.63,95％CI=-0.91-7.59,P=0.07). Conclusion:PDTRIANGLE is a safe and effective treatment for pancreatic cancer.Compared to PDSTANDARD,PDTRIANGLE significantly improves the R0 resection rate,thereby enhancing the postoperative disease-free survival rate and achieving a better long-term prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided semispinalis capitis plane (SCP) block for treatment of occipital neuralgia (ON).Methods:This was a prospective study. Ninety patients of both sexes, aged 29-66 yr, suffering ON for 3 months-6 yr in Zibo Municipal Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023, were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: combination of greater occipital nerve (GON) block and the third occipital nerve (TON) block group (group GT), SCP block via the medial head of semispinalis capitis muscle (SCM) group (group Sm), and SCP block via the space between obliquus capitis inferior and C 2, 3 facet joint (OCI-C 2, 3) group (group OC). In GT group, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory compound solution 2.5 ml was injected around GON in the SCM-OCI space at the C 2 level of the cervical vertebra and at the lateral surface of C 2, 3 facet joint. In Sm group, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory compound solution 5 ml was injected into the medial head of SCM at the level of C 1. In OC group, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory compound solution 5 ml was injected into the OCI-C 2, 3 space in the deep part of SCM. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score were recorded before treatment (T 1) and at 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 days after treatment (T 2-6), and then the rates of pain relief and improvement in sleep quality were calculated. The time spent in blocking, onset time of blocking, completion time of blocking, duration of block, and occurrence of adverse reactions within 24 h after block were recorded. Results:There were no significant differences in VAS scores and PSQI scores at T 1-3 and T 5-6 among the three groups ( P>0.05), and VAS and PSQI scores were significantly higher at T 4 in Sm group than in OC and GT groups ( P<0.05). Compared with GT group, the time spent in blocking was significantly shortened, the onset time and completion time of block was prolonged, and the duration of block was shortened in Sm group, and the time spent in blocking was significantly shortened, the onset time and completion time of block was shortened ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the duration of block in OC group ( P>0.05). No severe complications were observed in the three groups. Conclusions:Compared with the combination of GON and TON blocks, ultrasound-guided SCP block for treating ON is simple and highly safe, SCP block via the OCI-C 2, 3 space has rapid onset and long duration, leading to significant improvements in pain and sleep quality, and it can be used as the first-choice block method for treating ON.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effects and mechanism of Sanwei ganlu on hepatic fibrosis in rats. METHODS The rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group， silibinin group （positive control， 50 mg/kg）， and Sanwei ganlu low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups （80， 250， 800 mg/kg）. Except for normal group， hepatic fibrosis rat models were established by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 in the other groups of rats. Starting from the 6th week of modeling administration， they were given normal saline or corresponding drugs intragastrically at the same time. At the end of the ninth-week experiment， liver and spleen indexes of rats were calculated； the pathological structure and fibrosis changes of liver tissue were observed by HE， Masson and Sirus Red staining. The contents of alanine transaminase （ALT）， aspartate transaminase （AST）， procollagen type Ⅲ （PC Ⅲ）， collagen type Ⅳ （COL-Ⅳ）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and IL-1β in serum， and hyaluronic acid （HA） and laminin （LN） in liver tissue were all detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group， the liver injury and collagen fiber deposition of rats were improved to different extents in Sanwei ganlu groups and silibinin group； the contents of ALT， AST， PC Ⅲ， COL-Ⅳ， IL-6， TNF-α and IL-1β in serum as well as the contents of HA and LN in liver tissue significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Sanwei ganlu can alleviate the progression of hepatic fibrosis in rats， possibly by inhibiting the synthesis of collagen fiber， reducing transaminase content， down-regulating the levels of HA， LN， PC Ⅲ and COL-Ⅳ， and reducing the inflammatory response.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of echinacoside （ECH） in improving liver injury in rats with acute pancreatitis by establishing a rat model of acute pancreatitis and liver injury. MethodsA total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank group （Con group）， control group （Con+ECH group）， acute pancreatitis group （AP group）， and acute pancreatitis+ECH intervention （AP+ECH group）. The rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg ECH on day 7 before the establishment of the model of acute pancreatitis； at 24 hours after the last administration of cerulein， blood samples were collected via the abdominal aorta， and serum was separated for biochemical analysis including alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase （GGT）， alkaline phosphatase （ALP）， albumin （Alb）， total bilirubin （TBil）， cholinesterase， blood amylase （Amy）， and lipase （LPS）. HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the pancreas and the liver； transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was used to observe the microstructural changes of pancreas and liver tissue； ELISA was used to measure the levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-16 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and interleukin-10 （IL-10） in liver tissue homogenate； immunohistochemistry was used to measure the levels of TNF-α and p-p65 NF-κB in pancreas and liver tissue； Western blot was used to measure the expression levels of NF-κB pathway proteins in liver tissue. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the SNK test or the Dunnett’s T3 method was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the Con group， the AP group had significant increases in ALT， AST， GGT， LDH， ALP， TBil， Amy， and LPS （all P<0.01）， as well as significant increases in the levels of IL-1β， IL-6， IL-10， and TNF-α in liver tissue homogenate （all P<0.01）. ECH intervention reduced the levels of ALT， AST， GGT， LDH， ALP， TBil， AMY， and LPS and inhibited the secretion of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in rats with acute pancreatitis. HE staining showed that ECH intervention alleviated the vacuolar degeneration of acinar cells， inflammatory cell infiltration in pancreatic tissue， and the necrosis of hepatocytes compared with the AP group. TEM showed that compared with the AP group， there was a reduction in the degree of mitochondrial swelling in liver and pancreatic cells after ECH intervention. ECH intervention partially reversed the elevated expression levels of p-p65 NF-κB and TNF-α in liver and pancreatic tissue. In addition， the expression levels of MyD88， p-IκBα， p-IKKα， and p-p65 were upregulated in liver tissue of rats with acute pancreatitis， which could be partially reversed after ECH intervention. ConclusionEchinacoside can alleviate liver and pancreatic injury induced by acute pancreatitis by inhibiting the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of quercetin on mitochondrial energy metabolism function after myocardial ischemia. METHODS H9c2 cells were divided into blank group， model group， quercetin high-dose， medium-dose and low-dose groups （40， 20， 10 μmol/L）， and positive control group （cyclosporine A， 1 μmol/L）. Reactive oxygen species （ROS）， mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP）， openness of mitochondrial permeability transition pore （MPTP）， adenosine triphosphate （ATP）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） and creatine kinase （CK） were observed after cell hypoxia treatment. Rats were randomly assigned into sham operation group， model group， quercetin high-dose， medium-dose and low-dose groups （100， 50， 25 mg/kg）， and positive control group （trimetazidine， 6.3 mg/kg）， with 8 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically， once a day， for 7 consecutive days. After the last medication， myocardial ischemia model was induced by the ligation of the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery. The contents of LDH， MDA， creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB （CK-MB）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， complex Ⅰ， complex Ⅳ and ATP in serum were all determined. RESULTS Compared with the model group， ROS fluorescence intensity， openness of MPTP， the contents of CK， LDH and MDA were significantly decreased in quercetin low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups， and positive control group， while the contents of MMP and ATP were all increased significantly （P＜0.01）； the contents of CK-MB， LDH and MDA in serum were all decreased significantly in quercetin low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups， and positive control group， while the contents of SOD， complex Ⅰ， complex Ⅳ and ATP （except for positive control group） were increased significantly （P＜ 0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Quercetin can effectively reduce myocardial hypoxic injury， promote endogenous energy production and improve mitochondrial function after myocardial ischemia.
