ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Qishao capsules on renal injury in db/db mice with diabetic kidney disease （DKD），and explore its mechanism of protecting the kidney by inhibiting podocyte apoptosis. Methodsdb/m mice （7 mice） were used as the normal group，and db/db mice （35 mice） were randomly divided into a model group，a dapagliflozin group （0.001 g·kg^-1·d^-1），and low-，medium-，and high-dose groups of Qishao capsules （0.341 3，0.682 5，and 1.365 g·kg^-1·d^-1，respectively）. Drug intervention lasted for 8 consecutive weeks. After sampling，the serum renal function indicators ［creatinine（SCr），and urea nitrogen（BUN）］，fasting blood glucose （FBG），24 h urinary protein quantification （24 h-UTP）， and other indicators of the mice were measured. The pathological tissue morphology of the kidney was observed by periodic acid-silver methenamine （PASM） and Masson's trichrome （Masson） staining. Immunohistochemical detection of cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific protease （Caspase）-3 and B-cell lymphoma 2 （Bcl-2） was performed. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of Caspase-8，Caspase-7，Caspase-3， and other molecules. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick End labeling （TUNEL） staining was used to observe apoptosis in renal tissue. Immunofluorescence staining of Wilms tumor suppressor gene-1 （WT-1） was used to observe podocyte injury. Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was employed to detect Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 mRNA expression in the kidneys of experimental mice. Data analysis was conducted using statistical software GraphPad Prism 10. ResultsCompared with the normal group，the model group showed significantly increased 24 h-UTP，SCr，BUN，and FBG （P<0.01）. Additionally， PASM staining of renal tissue showed increased glycogen deposition，glomerular hypertrophy，and thickening of the basement membrane. Masson staining showed collagen fiber proliferation in renal tissue. Transmission electron microscopy showed thickening of the renal tissue basement membrane and fusion or loss of foot processes in the model group. The immunohistochemical results showed that Caspase-3 in the kidneys of the mice in the model group significantly increased （P<0.01），while the Bcl-2 protein expression level decreased significantly （P<0.01）. The number of TUNEL positive cells in renal tissue significantly increased （P<0.01）. The positive expression of WT-1 in podocytes was significantly reduced （P<0.01）. Western blot analysis showed significant upregulation of Caspase-8，Caspase-7，and Caspase-3 protein expression in renal tissue （P<0.01）. The mRNA expression levels of Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 in the kidneys increased significantly （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group，the Qishao capsules groups can significantly reduce the levels of 24 h-UTP，SCr，BUN，and FBG （P<0.01）. The pathological damage of renal tissue and podocyte injury were improved to some extent. Immunohistochemistry in the kidney showed a significant decrease in Caspase-3 （P<0.01） and a significant increase in Bcl-2 protein expression level （P<0.01）. Additionally， there were a significant decrease in the number of TUNEL positive cells in renal tissue （P<0.01），a significant increase in WT-1 positive expression in podocytes （P<0.01），marked downregulation of Caspase-8，Caspase-7，and Caspase-3 protein expression in renal tissue （P<0.05，P<0.01），and a significant decrease in Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 mRNA expression levels （P<0.01）. ConclusionQishao capsules can inhibit podocyte apoptosis by regulating the expression of Caspase-8，Caspase-7， and Caspase-3，thereby improving the diabetic renal injury in db/db mice.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics and key risk factors of abnormal blood disposal throughout the 2024-2025 blood collection and supply process based on nationwide multi-site monitoring data, develop a comprehensive prevention and control strategy across the entire chain, reduce preventable blood waste, and ensure clinical blood safety. Methods: According to the Guidelines for Haemovigilance (T/CSBT 001-2026), we extracted 74 cases of abnormal blood disposal events reported by the China Blood Transfusion Association′s Blood Safety Monitoring System from January 1 2024, to December 31 2025, and conducted descriptive statistical analysis on the distribution of events, types of deviations, root causes, and classifications of disposal manifestations. Results: A total of 664 adverse events related to blood collection and supply were reported over two years, with 74 cases involving discarded abnormal blood units, accounting for 11.1% of the total. Among these, blood component preparation (40.5%) and blood collection (37.8%) remained traditional high-risk stages. The proportion of blood waste occurring during storage, distribution, and transportation increased from 7.7% in 2024 to 34.3% in 2025. Deviations from standard operating procedures (SOP) by personnel were the primary cause, accounting for 74.3% of cases. Discarded blood units were categorized into four types: compromised closed blood bag systems (40 cases), mainly due to inadequate heat sealing, physical damage, or dropped bags; blood out of the cold chain (12 cases), primarily resulting from blood being left at work sites; imbalanced proportion of preservation solution (10 cases), mostly caused by blood collection volumes exceeding the standard capacity of blood bags; and other causes (12 cases). Conclusion: Human operational errors are the core cause of abnormal blood waste. The collection and preparation stages have long been at high-risk, and the risks in the storage and transportation stages have been increasing year by year. We should focus on standardizing personnel management, improving specialized operation norms such as heat sealing, transportation, and storage, establishing a full-process intelligent cold chain monitoring and multi-node visual verification mechanism, and systematically reducing the occurrence rate of abnormal blood waste through a closed-loop quality intervention system, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of voluntary blood donation resources.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of tumor necrosis factor-alpha（TNF-α）308 gene loci polymorphism in children with febrile seizures（FS）and to explore the correlation between TNF-α 308 gene polymorphisms and FS in children.Methods:A total of 320 children diagnosed with FS in the Department of Emergency，Shanghai Children's Hospital from September 1st，2020 to June 30th，2021 were enrolled as the study subjects，which were divided into simple febrile seizures（SFS）group（232 cases）and complex febrile seizures（CFS）group（88 cases）based on their clinical characteristics，and the clinical characteristics and laboratory indexes of the two groups were compared. Children with no history of convulsions were selected as the control group（160 cases）. The high-resolution melting and gene sequencing technology were used to analyze the polymorphism of TNF-α 308 gene in each group and the distribution of different gene types and allele frequencies among the groups was compared. A multivariate Logistic regression model was constructed to analyze the relationship between TNF-α 308 gene polymorphism and FS.Results:The age，mean corpuscular volume，mean corpuscular hemoglobin and platelet distribution width of the CFS group were significantly higher than those in the SFS group，and the difference was statistically significant（all P<0.05）.There was no significant difference in gender distribution，family history of FS，history of FS，body temperature at time of convulsions，WBC，Hb，CRP and PLT between the two groups（all P>0.05）.The genotype frequency distribution of TNF-α 308 polymorphism in the three groups was in line with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium（ P>0.05）.The AA genotype of TNF-α 308 locus was not detected in the study.Compared with the control group［17 cases（10.6%）］，the distribution proportion of GA genotype in the CFS group［22cases（25.0%）］and the SFS group［52cases（22.4%）］was increased，and the difference was statistically significant（ χ2＝11.126， P＝0.004）；Compared with the control group［17 frequencies（5.3%）］，the frequency distribution proportion of allele A in the CFS group［22 frequencies（12.5%）］and SFS group［52 frequencies（11.2%）］was also increased，and the difference was statistically significant（ χ2＝9.960， P＝0.007）. Adding control factors such as gender，age，family history of FS，body temperature at time of convulsions and blood routine markers，the multivariate Logistic regression model was constructed to show that there was no statistically significant association between TNF-α 308 genotype and CFS in children（ OR＝1.805，95% CI：0.926~3.519， P＝0.083）. Conclusion:In this study，there was no significant correlation between TNF-α 308 gene loci polymorphism and CFS in children.

AIM:This study aims to explore the role of asprosin(ASP)in regulating hepatic lipid anabolic metabolism,as well as the effects of ASP and its downstream pathways on hepatic lipid anabolic metabolism under obesity and exercise intervention.METHODS:To explore the effect of ASP on liver lipid synthesis under physiological condi-tion,5-week-old male C57BL/6J were randomly divided into 4 groups:wild-type(WT)group,WT+ASP group,knockout(KO)group,and KO+ASP group.The mice in KO and KO+ASP groups were ASP gene heterozygous KO mice,and the re-combinant ASP protein was intraperitoneally injected into the mice in WT+ASP and KO+ASP groups for one month before sampling.To explore the role of ASP on liver lipid synthesis under obesity and exercise intervention,5-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal control(NC)group,high-fat diet(HFD)group,and HFD+exercise group.After 10 weeks of HFD feeding,the mice in HFD group received no intervention,while those in HFD+ex-ercise group underwent 8 weeks of treadmill exercise intervention.The mice in both groups were fed with HFD during the intervention period.After the interventions,liver tissues were collected from the mice.Western blot and RT-qPCR meth-ods were used to detect the expression levels of ASP,fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF21),nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(NRF2),stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1(SCD1)and fatty acid synthase(FASN)in the mouse liver.ELISA was used to detect the triglycerol(TG)and cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)levels in the mouse liver,and HE stain-ing and oil red O staining were performed to observe the morphological changes of mouse liver tissues.RESULTS:(1)Compared with WT mice,KO mice exhibited significantly reduced body weight and liver weight,while liver index and he-patic TG levels were significantly increased.The mRNA and protein levels of cAMP,ASP,FGF21 and NRF2 in the liver were significantly decreased,whereas the mRNA and protein levels of SCD1 and FASN were significantly increased.In the WT+ASP group,liver index and hepatic TG levels were significantly reduced,but there were no statistical differences in body weight and liver weight.The mRNA and protein levels of SCD1 and FASN in the liver were significantly de-creased,while the cAMP level and the mRNA and protein levels of NRF2 were significantly increased.The FGF21 mRNA level decreased,but the protein level increased.(2)Compared with KO mice,KO+ASP mice had significantly reduced hepatic TG level,with a certain degree of reduction in liver weight and liver index,but without statistical significance.The cAMP level and the mRNA and protein levels of ASP,FGF21 and NRF2 in the liver were significantly increased,while the mRNA and protein levels of SCD1 and FASN were significantly decreased.(3)Compared with NC mice,HFD mice showed increased body weight,liver weight,and hepatic TG level.The cAMP level and the mRNA and protein levels of NRF2 in the liver were significantly decreased,while the mRNA and protein levels of SCD1 and FASN were significant-ly increased.The FGF21 mRNA level increased,but its protein level decreased.The ASP mRNA level decreased,but its protein level increased.(4)Compared with HFD mice,HFD+exercise mice had significantly reduced body weight,liver weight,and hepatic TG level.The mRNA and protein levels of SCD1 and FASN in the liver were significantly decreased,while the cAMP level and the mRNA and protein levels of NRF2 were significantly increased.The FGF21 mRNA level de-creased,but its protein level increased.The ASP mRNA level increased,but its protein level decreased.CONCLU-SION:(1)The ASP exerts an inhibitory effect on hepatic lipogenesis through the cAMP/FGF21/NRF2 pathway.(2)Un-der HFD feeding condition,the protein expression of FGF21 decreases,leading to our speculation that ASP may develop resistance.Aerobic exercise intervention can attenuate ASP resistance under high-fat condition and alleviate hepatic lipid accumulation caused by HFD.
