Conclusion Hospitals, institutions and project teams could take measures to cultivate and stabilize the drug clinical trial talent team, improve the quality management system of drug clinical trials, improve work efficiency, and promote the high-quality development of drug clinical trials in medical institutions.

Objective: To analyze the structural changes in whole blood and apheresis platelet donations in Chinese Society of Blood Transfusion (CSBT) sentinel units from 2021 to 2025, and to provide evidence for donor recruitment and blood service management. Methods: Aggregated data reported by sentinel sites were collected and stratified according to six indicators: age, sex, donation history, donation volume, donation site, and organization mode. Pearson χ test, Cramer′V coefficient, Cochran-Armitage trend test and simple linear regression were adopted for analysis. Results: A total of 16 256 973 whole blood donations and 1 576 546 apheresis platelet donations were included. Among whole-blood donations, the proportion of donors aged 18-22 years decreased from 27.30% to 10.60%. The proportion of male donors increased from 58.81% to 63.13%; the proportion of people aged 30 and above increased from 58.40% to 75.30%; the proportion of fixed locations rose from 28.37% to 36.57%; the proportion of social groups increased from 21.69% to 39.69%. The 400-mL donations decreased from 62.12% to 53.46%, while individually initiated voluntary donations remained above 50%. Apheresis platelet donations were predominantly from males, individuals aged 30-39 years, and repeat donors; 2-treatment-unit apheresis platelet donations increased from 67.19% to 74.93%, and individually initiated donations accounted for 92.97%-96.02%. Statistically significant overall annual compositional differences were observed for all six indicators (all P<0.001), whereas linear trends for some sub-categories were not statistically significant. Conclusion: In the participating CSBT sentinel units, among whole blood donations, the proportions of donors aged 18-22 years, university-organized group donations, and donations at blood mobiles decreased, whereas the proportions of organizational group donations and donations at fixed venues increased. The apheresis platelet donation cohort is relatively mature and is evolving toward a high-efficiency donation model. Individual voluntary donation remains the primary organization mode for both donation types. Strategies such as youth donor recruitment, optimized layout of fixed donation sites, and retention of repeat donors should be strengthened to improve the resilience of blood supply.

Objective:To explore the predictive efficacy of the HFA-ICOS score for cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) in Chinese patients with breast cancer and lymphoma.Methods:This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study which included patients with breast cancer and lymphoma who were treated with anthracyclines from February 2018 to February 2025 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University. Patients were evaluated at baseline with cardiac biomarkers and echocardiography, including left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain of the left ventricle. After anthracycline therapy, they were followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Data involved biomarkers and echocardiography were collected to determine whether CTRCD had occurred. The patients were categorized into low-risk, intermediate-risk, high-risk, and very-high-risk groups using the HFA-ICOS scoring model. The cumulative probability of CTRCD under different HFA-ICOS risk stratification was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The effect of HFA-ICOS risk stratification on CTRCD was assessed using an univariate Cox proportional hazards regression model. The predictive efficacy of the HFA-ICOS model and its utility in clinical decision-making were assessed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curves at each time point.Results:A total of 286 patients, aged 55 (44, 61) years, were enrolled, of whom 33 (11.5%) cases were male. And 113 (39.5%) patients developed CTRCD during a median follow-up time of 111 (70, 210) days. HFA-ICOS risk stratification showed that 228 (79.7%) were low-risk, 49 (17.1%) were intermediate-risk, and a total of 9 (3.1%) were high-risk and very high-risk. The difference in the occurrence of CTRCD over time between patients with different HFA-ICOS risk stratification was statistically significant ( Plog-rank<0.001). Cox proportional regression hazards analysis showed an increased risk of CTRCD development in intermediate-risk ( HR=1.95, 95% CI 1.22-3.00, P=0.006) and high-risk and very high-risk patients ( HR=4.12, 95% CI 1.66-8.54, P=0.004) compared with low-risk patients. The ROC curves showed that the area under the curve of the HFA-ICOS model predicting CTRCD was 0.532, 0.597, 0.600 and 0.577 at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. The calibration curves indicated Brier scores of 0.041 (95% CI 0.013-0.067), 0.144 (95% CI 0.115-0.173), 0.232 (95% CI 0.215-0.249) and 0.236 (95% CI 0.220-0.251) at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, correspondingly. The clinical decision curve suggested that clinical intervention may have a net benefit when the risk threshold is between 0.15 and 0.18 at 1 month, between 0.10 and 0.50 at 3 months, and between 0.30 and 0.70 at 6 and 12 months. Conclusion:The HFA-ICOS score could predict the occurrence of CTRCD in patients with breast cancer and lymphoma treated with anthracycline drugs, although its predictive efficacy is limited, and the prediction model requires further validation in a larger population.

This study was aimed at exploring the interaction between the nucleoprotein(NP)of influenza A virus(IAV)and TRIM25.The physicochemical properties and protein structure of IAV NP protein were analyzed through bioinformatics methods.The interaction between IAV NP and TRIM25 proteins was simulated with molecular docking techniques,and the in-teraction sites were predicted.With the cDNA of the A/Puerto Rico/8/1934(H1N1)PR8 strain as the template,the NP pro-tein was cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pCMV-C-Flag through PCR amplification,the eukaryotic expression re-combinant plasmid pCMV-Flag-NP was constructed,and the expression was further verified.The protein expression levels of pCMV-Flag-NP and pCMV-HA-TRIM25 were detected at various time periods.The interaction between NP protein and TRIM25 protein was verified by co-immunoprecipitation.The co-localization of NP protein and TRIM25 protein in cells was ob-served with laser confocal microscopy.Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the NP protein consists of 498 amino acids and 20 amino acids,and is an unstable hydrophilic protein.The NP protein has multiple phosphorylation sites,as well as N-glycosyla-tion and O-glycosylation sites,but no transmembrane domain or signal peptide domain.Additionally,the NP protein's second-ary structure consists of a high proportion of alpha-helices and random coils.The molecular docking prediction results indicated that IAV NP interacts with TRIM25 protein and has multiple potential interaction sites,including the 233rd alanine,234th ala-nine,236th lysine,and 440th alanine of the NP protein.After successfully constructing and expressing the IAV NP protein,we verified the interaction between IAV NP and TRIM25 protein by immunoprecipitation and laser confocal microscopy obser-vations.Our results together suggested that the structure of the IAV NP protein is closely related to its function,and its im-portance to the virus is clear.In addition,the interaction between IAV NP and TRIM25 protein may be associated with TRIM25's anti-influenza virus mechanism.Further in-depth research may provide new ideas for anti-influenza virus strategies.

Aim To explore the mechanism of the syn-ergistic effect of the ferroptosis inducer erastin com-bined with shikonin in promoting ferroptosis in human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts(HSFBs).Methods Hypertrophic scar tissues provided by the General Hos-pital of Ningxia Medical University were collected,and HSFBs were extracted.HSFBs were identified by HE staining and immunofluorescence.The inhibitory rates of Era and SHK on HSFBs at different concentrations were detected by CCK-8 assay,and the IC50 value was calculated.CompuSyn software was used to calculate the co-use index(CI).Control group,Erastin(Era)group,shikonin(SHK)group and Era+SHK group were set up,and the number and morphological chan-ges of cells were observed after 24 hours of interven-tion.The ability of cell migration and invasion was de-tected by scratch test and Transwell test.The changes of malondialdehyde(MDA),total iron ion and reactive oxygen species(ROS)were detected by corresponding biochemical kits.The expressions of collagen I,α-SMA and GOT1,SLC7A11,GPX4 and FTH1 were detected by Western blot.Results The IC50 value of Era and SHK of primary HSFBs was 2.22 μmol·L-1 and 3.94μmol·L-1 respectively,which was used as the single drug concentration for subsequent experiments.The CompuSyn software was employed to calculate the CI value when the two drugs were used in combination,and the concentrations corresponding to CI=0.39597(Era:1.2 μmol·L-1+SHK:1.5 μmol·L-1)were selected as subsequent combination concentrations(Because when CI was equal to 0.395 97,the concen-tration of each drug was lower than the concentration of single drug,and the inhibition rate of combined drug was greater than 50％).Compared with the monother-apy group,the number of HSFBs in the SHK+Era group was significantly reduced,cell membrane showed breakage and vesiculation,cell wrinkling became smal-ler,and cytoplasm was concentrated.The migration and invasion ability of HSFBs in the SHK+Era group were obviously weakened(P＜0.05),and the expres-sion of fibrosis-related proteins collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA was reduced(P＜0.05);the contents of MDA,total i-ron ions,and ROS in HSFBs of the SHK+Era group increased(P＜0.05),and the protein expression lev-els of SLC7A11,GOT1,GPX4,and FTH1 further de-creased(P＜0.05).Conclusions Erastin in combi-nation with shikonin can synergistically inhibit the pro-liferation,migration and fibrosis levels of HSFBs.The mechanism may be that erastin enhances the inhibition of shikotin on GOT1,increases the levels of cellular i-ron ions,ROS,and lipid peroxides,thereby promoting ferroptosis in HSFBs.
