Objective: To investigate the identification process of a case with anti-Fy combined with Rh blood group system antibodies and to review the transfusion strategy and epidemiological characteristics of Duffy blood group system antibodies. Methods: The antibody specificity of a patient diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, who exhibited unexpected antibodies, was determined using the microcolumn gel method, enzyme method, and elution test. A retrospective analysis was performed to assess the incidence and clinical characteristics of antibodies associated with the Duffy blood group system among a cohort of 652 003 patients treated at our hospital from 2014 to 2024. Results: The patient's serum contained anti-Fy , anti-c, and anti-E antibodies. Through the targeted recruitment of African international students, the patient successfully received four units of Fy -negative blood that matched the ABO and Rh phenotypes. Between 2014 and 2024, the incidence of Duffy blood group system antibodies was 0.005 7% (37 out of 652 003), with 9 cases (24.3%) combined with Rh antibodies. Conclusion: Patients with anti-Fy combined with Rh antibodies require Fy -negative blood with matched Rh phenotypes. Targeted recruitment based on racial antigen differences can effectively resolve rare blood type transfusion challenges.

Objective: To investigate the current knowledge status of transfusion medicine among pediatricians/postgraduates and the reliability of large language models (LLMs) for assisted learning, and to assess changes in pediatricians' transfusion medicine knowledge before and after the implementation of the "Pediatric Transfusion Guideline" (hereafter referred to as the "Guideline"). Methods: In January 2022 (prior to the implementation of the "Guideline"), a questionnaire was developed based on the "Guideline" content and distributed to pediatricians. Subsequently, in July 2025 (after the implementation of the "Guideline"), the "Pediatric Transfusion Medicine Knowledge Questionnaire" was designed based on the content of the January 2022 questionnaire. This questionnaire survey was conducted on pediatricians/postgraduates and LLMs. We analyzed the level of transfusion medicine knowledge among pediatricians/postgraduates and the reliability of LLMs for assisted learning, and compared the accuracy of pediatricians' responses before and after "Guideline" implementation. Results: The survey results after the implementation of the "Guidelines" revealed that pediatricians/postgraduates achieved response accuracy rates exceeding 80% on the topic of "Patient Blood Management". However, response accuracy rates were below 30% for topics including "Types and Indications of Blood Components/Products" and "E-valuation of Transfusion Efficacy". The pediatricians' accuracy rates for related questions before and after the implementation of the "Guidelines" were 14.7%-68.9% and 3%-38%, respectively, and the comparison of accuracy rates for each question showed significant differences (P<0.001). The accuracy rates of the LLMs on the questionnaire were all below 90%. Among them, Doubao (81.1%) and Kimi (86.4%) achieved relatively higher accuracy rates, while Tencent Yuanbao (Hunyuan) had the lowest accuracy rate at only 59.5%. Conclusion: The implementation of the "Guideline" may have improved pediatricians' knowledge level of pediatric transfusion medicine. However, their knowledge level of pediatric transfusion remains low, and LLMs cannot yet provide absolutely reliable guidance. Systematic training in pediatric transfusion medicine is urgently needed.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of bone mass and volume of low-density zones beneath the tibial plateau on the maximum von Mises stresses experienced by the cartilage and meniscus in the knee joint. METHODS: The study included one healthy adult volunteer, from whom CT scans were obtained, and one patient diagnosed with knee osteoarthrisis (KOA), for whom X-ray films were acquired. A static model of the knee joint featuring a low-density zone was established based on a normal knee model. In the finite element analysis, axial loads of 1 000 N and 1 800 N were applied to the weight-bearing region of the upper surface of the femoral head for model validation and subsequent finite element studies, respectively. The maximum von Mises stresses in the femoral cartilage, as well as the medial and lateral tibial cartilage and menisci, were observed, and the stress percentage of the medial and lateral components were concurrently analyzed. Additionally, HE staining, as well as alkaline magenta staining, were performed on the pathological specimens of patients with KOA in various low-density regions. RESULTS: The results of model validation indicated that the model was consistent with normal anatomical structures and correlated with previous calculations documented in the literature. Static analysis revealed that the maximum von Mises stress in the medial component of the normal knee was the lowest and increased with the advancement of the hypointensity zone. In contrast, the lateral component exhibited an opposing trend, with the maximum von Mises stress in the lateral component being the highest and decreasing as the hypointensity zone progressed. Additionally, the medial component experienced an increasing proportion of stress within the overall knee joint. HE staining demonstrated that the chondrocyte layer progressively deteriorated and may even disappear as the hypointensity zone expanded. Furthermore, alkaline magenta staining indicated that the severity of microfractures in the trabecular bone increased concurrently with the expansion of the hypointensity zone. CONCLUSION The presence of subtalar plateau low-density zone may aggravate joint degeneration. In clinical practice, it is necessary to pay attention to the changes in the subtalar plateau low-density zone and actively take effective measures to strengthen the bone status of the subtalar plateau low-density zone and restore the complete biomechanical function of the knee joint, in order to slow down or reverse the progression of osteoarthritis.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of adverse reactions caused by dinutuximab β for the treatment of neuro-blastoma(NB)in China and to provide safety evidence for the rational use of dinutuximab β in clinical practice.Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 16 pediatric patients with NB who had been treated with dinutuximab β at Shanghai Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2022 to November 2023,and the adverse reactions caused by dinutuximab β were summarized and analyzed.Results:The male-to-female ratio was 5:3 among the 16 children with NB.The retroperitoneum was the main initial site of involvement,accounting for 75%.Thirteen(81.25%)patients had high-risk NB.The adverse reactions caused by dinutuximab β mainly included decreased hemoglobin,fever,vomiting,and diarrhea.The inci-dence of adverse reactions was highest in the first course of treatment,and the median time of adverse reactions was 2-5 days.Conclu-sion:Targeted monitoring should be carried out at an early stage during dinutuximab β administration.Adverse reactions should be de-tected and managed early to ensure the safety of medication for children.

OBJECTIVE:Exercise intervention is one of the main treatments for fibromyalgia,but there is no consistent conclusion on the choice of different exercise modalities.In this article,a network Meta-analysis was used to comprehensively and quantitatively evaluate the effects of different exercise modalities on fibromyalgia syndrome. METHODS:PubMed,EMbase,Scoups,The Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang Database,and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched for relevant literature,with a search timeframe from the establishment of each database to June 2023.The outcome indicators included five continuous variables,including fibromyalgia impact questionnaire-revised(FIQ)scores,visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,quality of life,quality of sleep,and depression.The Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature.RevMan 5.4 software was used to perform effect sizes,subgroup analyses,and sensitivity analyses of the data.Stata 17 software was used to perform reticulation and network Meta-analysis of the data. RESULTS:A total of 13 articles with 14 randomized controlled trials were finally included.The overall methodological quality of the literature was high.The results of traditional Meta-analysis showed that,compared with the control group,exercise therapy significantly improved the FIQ score[standardized mean difference(SMD)=-0.67,95％confidence interval(CI):-0.83 to-0.50,P<0.01],VAS score(SMD=-0.72,95％CI:-0.90 to-0.54,P<0.01),quality of life(SMD=1.03,95％CI:0.45 to 1.61,P=0.000 5),sleep quality(SMD=-0.62,95％CI:-0.98 to-0.25,P=0.001),and depression(SMD=-0.63,95％CI:-1.09 to-0.18,P=0.007).Network Meta-analysis showed that the probability of optimal intervention effect of exercise modalities on FIQ scores was ranked as:mind-body exercise(86.5)>resistance exercise(70.5)>aerobic exercise(41.7);the probability of optimal intervention effect of exercise modalities on VAS scores was ranked as:resistance exercise(85.3)>mind-body exercise(74.3)>aerobic exercise(34.5). CONCLUSION:Exercise therapy significantly improves FIQ scores,VAS scores,quality of life,sleep quality,and depression in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.Mind-body exercise and resistance exercise are the most effective exercise modalities to reduce FIQ scores and VAS scores in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.

Background::Understanding willingness to undergo pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and the factors associated with poor uptake of PFTs is crucial for improving early detection and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to understand willingness to undergo PFTs among high-risk populations and identify any barriers that may contribute to low uptake of PFTs.Methods::We collected data from participants in the "Happy Breathing Program" in China. Participants who did not follow physicians’ recommendations to undergo PFTs were invited to complete a survey regarding their willingness to undergo PFTs and their reasons for not undergoing PFTs. We estimated the proportion of participants who were willing to undergo PFTs and examined the various reasons for participants to not undergo PFTs. We conducted univariable and multivariable logistic regressions to analyze the impact of individual-level factors on willingness to undergo PFTs.Results::A total of 8475 participants who had completed the survey on willingness to undergo PFTs were included in this study. Out of these participants, 7660 (90.4%) were willing to undergo PFTs. Among those who were willing to undergo PFTs but actually did not, the main reasons for not doing so were geographical inaccessibility ( n = 3304, 43.1%) and a lack of trust in primary healthcare institutions ( n = 2809, 36.7%). Among the 815 participants who were unwilling to undergo PFTs, over half ( n = 447, 54.8%) believed that they did not have health problems and would only consider PFTs when they felt unwell. In the multivariable regression, individuals who were ≤54 years old, residing in rural townships, with a secondary educational level, with medical reimbursement, still working, with occupational exposure to dust, and aware of the abbreviation "COPD" were more willing to undergo PFTs. Conclusions::Willingness to undergo PFTs was high among high-risk populations. Policymakers may consider implementing strategies such as providing financial incentives, promoting education, and establishing community-based programs to enhance the utilization of PFTs.

Hemophilic arthritis(HA),caused by recurrent bleeding,can seriously affect patient quality of life and consumes extensive social and medical resources.There is thus a need to establish an animal model of HA for research;however,this is limited by ethical requirements.Here we review the recent literature and summarize research progress into animal models of HA at home and abroad,from the aspects of species selection,modeling method,histopathology,and imaging evaluation method.Species selection includes rodents such as mice,New Zealand rabbits,beagles,miniature pigs,and crab-eating macaques.Modeling method comprise gene knockout trauma models,gene knockout spontaneous models,and injection models.Among these,the gene knockout spontaneous model closely mimics the pathological process of spontaneous bleeding and concurrent arthritis in human HA,making it more relevant to human HA.However,due to high modeling costs,phenotypic instability,and low survival rates,this model is not the preferred choice for animal experimental studies.In contrast,gene knockout trauma models exhibit characteristics such as short modeling time,strong stability,and high success rates,thus being widely utilized in animal experimental research.Evaluation of HA models involves various imaging method including MRI,micro-CT,MSKUS/PD,in addition to various gross scoring method.By reviewing the progress of HA model research,more experimental evidence is provided for investigating the pathogenesis and validating the efficacy of HA treatments,thereby compensating for the lack of clinical data,particularly in the field of traditional Chinese medicine therapy.

In order to investigate the effects of LAL on the lipolysis and lipid synthesis of dairy adi-pocytes,the protein expressions of lipid synthesis-related molecules,acetyl-CoA carboxylase-1(ACC1),phosphorylated transcription factor-α(CEBPα),diacylglyceryl acyltransferase 2(DGAT2),sterol regulatory element binding protein 1(SREBP1),and peroxisome proliferator-ac-tivated receptor-γ(PPARγ),and lipolysis-related molecules,lipid droplet coated protein-1(PLIN1),triglyceride lipase(ATGL),hormone-sensitive lipase(HSL),p-HSL,and the target pro-tein lysosomal acid lipase(LAL),were detected in adipose tissues of healthy dairy cows and ketosis cows.The lipid synthesis and lipolysis-related protein expressions in adipocytes were detected by Western blot technology.The primary bovine adipocytes were cultured in vitro with overexpressed LAL,and the lipolysis model of adipocytes was constructed by adding isoproterenol(ISO).The re-sults showed that the expression of LAL in adipose tissue of ketosis cows was significantly lower than that of healthy cows(P＜0.01).Compared with healthy cows,the protein expression levels of lipid synthesis-related proteins ACC1,CEBPα,DGAT2,SREBP1 and PPARγin adipose tissue of clinical ketosis cows were significantly decreased,while the protein expression and phosphorylation levels of lipolysis-related proteins,PLIN1,ATGL,and p-HSL were significantly increased.The a-bove results confirmed that the lipid synthesis of adipose tissue of ketosis cows was inhibited,and the lipolysis was enhanced.In vitro results showed that ISO could downregulate the protein ex-pression levels of lipid synthesis related molecules,and upregulate the protein expression and phosphorylation levels of lipid lysis related molecules in bovine adipocytes.The content of basal lipid synthesis and ISO-induced lipid synthesis proteins in bovine adipocytes of LAL overexpres-sion group was significantly increased,while the content of basal lipid lysis and ISO-induced lipid lysis proteins was significantly decreased.In conclusion,in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that LAL can inhibit the lipid lysis of bovine adipocytes and promote the lipid synthesis of bovine adipocytes.

This study utilized the CCK-8 assay to examine the effects of various concentrations of CoCl2(0,50,100,200,300,400 μmol/L)and different treatment durations(0,6,12,24,48 h)on the viability of adipocytes,in order to determine the most suitable treatment conditions.Western blot analysis was employed to investigate the impact of different concentrations of CoCl2(0,50,100,200,400 μmol/L)on the expression of hypoxia and its downstream key proteins in adipocytes.The results indicated that higher concentrations of CoCl2 led to lower adipocyte viability,with sig-nificant decreases in cell viability observed in the 300,400 μmol/L treatment groups(P＜0.01),while the 200 μmol/L group exhibited the highest cell viability.Compared to the control group,the 200 μmol/L CoCl2 treatment group showed a significant upregulation in the expression of hypoxia and its downstream signaling pathway key molecules:hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha(HIF-1α),glucose transporter type 4(GLUT4),vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1(FLT-1),prolyl hydroxylase 2(PHD2),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)(P＜0.01).Addi-tionally,the 200 μmol/L CoCl2 treatment group exhibited higher levels of key lipolytic enzymes,including adipose triglyceride lipase(ATGL),perilipin 1(PLIN1),protein kinase A(PKA),and increased phosphorylation levels of hormone-sensitive lipase(HSL)in the 300 and 400 μmol/L groui ps(P＜0.01).CoCl2-mediated hypoxia in the 200 μmol/L treatment group also in-creased the protein expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)and the phosphorylation level of protein kinase B(Akt).These findings suggest that adding 200 μmol/L CoCl2 can enhance the expression of hypoxia-related proteins,lipolytic enzymes,and insulin-related signaling proteins in primary bovine adipocytes.

Purpose Based on European lumbar spine phantom,to investigate the effect of different noise index(NI)combined with adaptive statistical interactive reconstruction-veo(ASiR-V)weights on the measurement of lumbar spine bone density,and to explore the optimal combination of the two parameters.Materials and Methods Using GE Revolution CT spectral imaging scanning,54 groups of scanning parameters with NI values of 4-20(interval 2)combined with ASiR-V weights of 0-100%(interval 20%)were selected for spectral scanning of European lumbar spine phantom.Regions of interest were placed in the middle of L1,L2 and L3,respectively.hydroxyapatite(HAP)-H2O based substances were selected to measure the HAP content of each vertebral body.The differences between the measured bone density value and the true value under different NI combined with different ASiR-V were compared to evaluate its accuracy.Results There were statistically significant differences in HAP measurements of L1,L2 and L3 vertebra in 54 groups of scanning conditions(all P<0.001).When NI=14,ASiR-V80%;NI=16,ASiR-V100%;NI=18,ASiR-V60%;NI=18,ASiR-V80%;NI=20,ASiR-V60%;NI=20,ASiR-V80%;NI=20,ASiR-V100%,there was no statistically significant difference between HAP measured value and true body model value(P>0.05).Conclusion With NI=18,ASiR-V60%,spectral CT can accurately measure lumbar spine bone density and significantly reduce the radiation dose.In clinical application,bone density can be measured by low dose scanning by increasing the weight of NI and ASiR-V.
