Objective: To analyze the cause of discrepancy between ABO genotype B102/O01 and serological results in one case by PCR-SSP, to clarify the serological characteristics of this special blood group, and to explore relevant blood transfusion strategies. Methods: Blood group serological tests were performed on blood donor in August and December 2024, including forward and reverse ABO typing using tube method, H antigen identification, direct anti-human globulin test by tube method, red blood cell absorption-elution test, and determination of ABH blood group substance in saliva. Exons 1-7 of the ABO gene were amplified by PCR-SSP and sequenced. Results: The two separate serological tests consistently identified the donor as having an A
B phenotype, but the results of gene sequencing indicated a B102/O01 genotype, showing an discrepancy between serological and genetic results. Conclusion: It is very likely that the blood type of the blood donor is B102/O01 with a microchimerism of type A, or an AB type masked by A type reference gene.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is an end-stage cardiac syndrome driven by multiple factors. Its pathological process involves interactions of multiple pathways such as energy metabolism dysfunction, neuroendocrine dysregulation, and myocardial fibrosis. Although current clinical medicine can alleviate symptoms through single-target approaches, significant limitations in reversing cardiac remodeling and disease progression remain. Puerarin, a major bioactive isoflavone constituent derived from Pueraria lobata, exhibits multidimensional pharmacological effects, such as vasodilatory effects, regulation of neuroendocrine balance, enhancement of metabolic homeostasis, and suppression of myocardial apoptosis. This review systematically integrated puerarin's multi-target regulatory network, elucidating its mechanisms such as improving energy metabolism by AMP-activated protein kinase/mechanistic target of rapamycin (AMPK/mTOR) pathway, inhibiting fibrosis mediated by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad signals, and attenuating oxidative-inflammatory cascades by regulating nuclear factor erythroid 2 (E2)-related factor 2/nuclear transcription factor-κB(Nrf2/NF-κB) axis. Clinical research data was used to validate its efficacy in improving the left ventricular ejection function and reducing the therapeutic potential of cardiovascular events' risks. The study proposed that puerarin's "systemic regulation" characteristic breaks through the limitations of traditional single-target drugs and prospected its clinical translation pathway based on metabolomics and nano-delivery technology, offering an integrative perspective from molecular mechanisms to precise therapy for the research on modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:
To explore the relationship of social anxiety and emotion regulation strategy with short video addiction among college students, so as to provide reference for alleviating social anxiety, improving the level of emotion regulation and preventing short video addiction.
Methods:
From May to June 2024, 2 172 college students from a university in Guangzhou were selected by multistage random cluster sampling method. The Interaction Anxiousness Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Short Video Addiction Scale were used as the measurement tools. The potential profile was used to analyze the potential categories of social anxiety and emotion regulation strategy. The Chi square test was used to analyze the characteristics of the distribution of potential profile categories of college students with different demographic characteristics. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between social anxiety, emotion regulation strategy and short video addiction.
Results:
The potential categories of social anxiety and emotion regulation strategy in college students were divided into adaptive regulation type (784 cases, 36.10 %), low anxiety-expression type (623 cases, 28.68%), inhibition-anxiety type (478 cases, 22.01%), high anxiety-disorder type (287 cases, 13.21%). There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of various potential categories of social anxiety and emotion regulation strategy among cadres of different gender, family residence, class cadres or not ( χ 2=42.55, 17.86 , 39.05, all P <0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that after controlling the confounding factors such as demographic variables, the potential categories of social anxiety and emotion regulation strategy of college students (low anxiety-expression type, inhibition-anxiety type, high anxiety-disorder type) were the important related factors of short video addiction ( β =0.15,0.25,0.35, all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Social anxiety and emotion regulation strategy of college students exhibit distinct categorical characteristics, and its varying latent categories are associated with short video addiction. Schools should implement targeted intervention measures for different categories of college students to promote their comprehensive mental health development.

Background:
The tight junction protein claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) has been implicated in poor prognosis and suboptimal immunotherapy response in gastric cancer (GC). This study investigates the clinicopathological relevance of CLDN18.2 expression and its association with molecular subtypes in GC patients from a high-incidence region, combining transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to explore how CLDN18.2 contributes to progression and metastasis.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort of 494 GC patients (2019–2024) underwent immunohistochemical analysis for CLDN18.2, Epstein-Barr virus (Epstein–Barr virus–encoded RNA), p53, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and mismatch repair proteins (MLH1, MSH2, PMS2, and MSH6). CLDN18.2 positivity was defined as moderate to strong (2+/3+) membranous staining in ≥75% of tumor cells. Clinicopathological correlations, biomarker associations, and survival outcomes were evaluated. Transcriptomic and proteomic sequencing was performed to explore molecular mechanisms.
Results:
CLDN18.2 positivity was observed in 26.9% (133/494) of gastric adenocarcinomas. CLDN18.2-positive tumors correlated with TNM stage (p = .003) and shorter overall survival (p = .018). No associations were identified with age, sex, HER2 status, microsatellite instability, or Epstein-Barr virus infection. Transcriptomic profiling revealed CLDN18.2-high tumors enriched in pathways involving cell junction disruption, signaling regulation, and immune modulation. Proteomic profiling showed that tumors with high CLDN18.2 were enriched in multiple mechanism-related pathways such as integrated metabolic reprogramming, cytoskeletal recombination, immune microenvironment dysregulation, and pro-survival signaling. These mechanisms may collectively contribute to tumor progression and metastasis.
Conclusions
CLDN18.2 overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in GC patients. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses demonstrate that CLDN18.2 promotes tumor progression and metastasis, underscoring its potential as an independent prognostic factor in regions with a high incidence of GC.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of thyroid hormone sensitivity indicators for adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) complicated by hypothyroidism.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 80 pregnant women with GDM complicated by hypothyroidism who were admitted to the Department of Obstetrics, Second Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine from February 2022 to February 2024. The patients were divided into two groups: the adverse outcome group ( n = 48) and the normal outcome group ( n = 32) based on the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes in these women. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of thyroid hormone sensitivity indicators for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results:In the adverse outcome group, the proportion of women with a pre-pregnancy body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m2, triglyceride level, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen level, thyroid-stimulating hormone level, and thyroid-stimulating hormone index were 58.33% (28/48), (5.77 ± 0.25) mmol/L, (31.79 ± 2.68) seconds, (4.39 ± 0.37) g/L, (5.05 ± 1.07) mU/L, and (3.15 ± 0.24), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the normal outcome group ( χ2 = 4.41, t = -3.56, -3.23, -2.61, -4.17, -9.15, all P < 0.05). Conversely, the levels of free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, thyrotroph T4 resistance index, and thyroid feedback quantile index in the adverse outcome group were (9.32 ± 1.04) pmol/L, (3.17 ± 0.42) pmol/L, (33.09 ± 4.26), and (0.19 ± 0.07), respectively, which were all significantly lower than those in the normal outcome group ( t = 4.44, 3.51, 4.31, 2.21, all P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that pre-pregnancy body mass index [ OR = 2.673, 95% CI(1.057,6.761)], triglyceride level [ OR = 25.623, 95% CI(3.208,204.673)], activated partial thromboplastin time [ OR = 1.365, 95% CI(1.106,1.685)], fibrinogen level [ OR = 3.111, 95% CI(1.257,7.701)], thyroid-stimulating hormone level [ OR = 2.969, 95% CI(1.613,5.465)], free thyroxine level [ OR = 0.441, 95% CI(0.280,0.695)], free triiodothyronine level [ OR = 0.172, 95% CI(0.057,0.516)], thyroid-stimulating hormone index [ OR = 6.298, 95% CI(1.099, 36.094)], thyrotroph T4 resistance index [ OR = 0.799, 95% CI(0.704,0.907)], and thyroid feedback quantile index [ OR = 0.057, 95% CI(0.168,0.478)] were all factors that influence adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with GDM complicated by hypothyroidism (all P < 0.05). The area under the curve for predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes using the combined thyroid hormone sensitivity indicators was 0.809 [95% CI (0.704, 0.915), P < 0.001], with a sensitivity of 0.896, specificity of 0.687, and a maximum Youden index of 0.583. Conclusions:The thyroid hormone sensitivity indicators have a certain predictive value for adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with GDM complicated by hypothyroidism. These indicators can provide important reference for clinical prediction and intervention of adverse pregnancy outcomes in this patient population.

Objective:To explore the effect of the retrieval of previous rewarding episodic memories on current decision-making risk preference under negative and neutral emotional contexts.Methods:Thirty-three undergraduate college students from Henan Medical University were selected as subjects in May 2025. A two-option gambling paradigm was selected as the experimental task, and a two-factor within-subject experiment design of 2 (reward: rewarded, non-rewarded) × 2 (emotional background: negative, neutral) was adopted. The risk decision-making rate of the participants was recorded.Two-factor analysis of variance was conducted using SPSS 22.0 software.Results:There was a significant interaction between the reward of the item and the emotional background on risk decision-making rate ( F(1, 64)=6.67, P<0.05, ηP2=0.17). Under the negative and neutral emotional backgrounds, the high-risk selection rates for the rewarded items (0.60±0.22, 0.56±0.22) were significantly higher than those for non-rewarded items (0.30±0.18, 0.33±0.22) (both P<0.01). Additionally, the difference in high-risk choice rate between the rewarded and non-rewarded items under the negative emotional condition (0.30±0.28) was significantly greater than those under the neutral emotional condition (0.23±0.30) ( t(32)=2.451, P<0.05, d’=0.87). Conclusion:Different emotional backgrounds and reward-related episodic memories can influence the risk decision-making preference of individuals together.The retrieval of the rewarding episodic memory during decision making can increase the high risk propensity of the individuals.
