[Objective] To analyze the influencing factors of repeat blood donor lapsing using a zero-inflated poisson regression model (ZIP). [Methods] The blood donation behavior of 12 498 whole blood donors from 2020 was tracked until December 31, 2023. The factors influencing the frequency of blood donations in a given year was analyzed using ZIP, and donors with 0 blood donation in that year were considered to have lapsed. The changes in relevant influencing factors associated with each blood donation were measured and modeled for analysis. [Results] The zero-inflated part of ZIP showed that the risk of lapsing of male blood donors was 2.24 times that of female blood donors (OR 95% CI:1.864-2.696, P<0.001); the risk of lapsing of the 35-44 age group and over 45 age group was respectively 40% (OR 95% CI:0.455-0.790, P<0.001) and 61%(OR 95% CI:0.268-0.578, P<0.001) lower than that of the under 25 age group; the risk of lapsing for those who have donated blood twice and ≥3 times was respectively 50% (OR 95% CI:0.405-0.609, P<0.001) and 81% (OR 95% CI:0.154-0.225, P<0.001) lower than that of first-time donors; the risk of lapsing of those with junior high or high school education was 1.2 times that of those with a college degree or higher (OR 95% CI:1.033-1.384, P<0.05); the risk of lapsing for the divorced group was 2.02 times that of the married group (OR 95% CI:1.445-2.820, P<0.001); the risk of lapsing for those with an income (Yuan) of 10 000 to 50 000, 50 000 to 100 000 and more than 100 000 was respectively 0.67 (OR 95% CI:0.552-0.818, P<0.001), 0.72 (OR 95% CI:0.591-0.884, P=0.002) and 0.67 (OR 95% CI:0.535-0.834, P<0.001) times that of those with an income (Yuan) of less than 10 000. The results of the Poisson part are consistent with the results of the zero-inflated part in terms of age and education level. [Conclusion] Blood donor lapsing is overall related to factors such as gender, age, donation frequency, education, marital status and family income. It's essential to care for those blood donors prone to lapse to retain more regular blood donors.

BACKGROUND:Impaired postural control is an important risk factor for falls and secondary damage in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.Most of the existing studies have analyzed the gait parameters of patients during straight-line walking,but few have analyzed the postural stability characteristics of patients during static and dynamic activities. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the characteristics of postural stability in elderly patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. METHODS:Twenty-two patients clinically diagnosed with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus at the Department of Neurosurgery,Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University,Shanghai,China,from September 2022 to February 2023 were selected as the patient group,and 18 healthy accompanying family members were selected as the healthy control group.The postural stability characteristics of the subjects were assessed using the Timed Up-and-Go Test,Multi-Directional Reach Test,Berg Balance Scale,and Static Balance Function Test(reaction time,speed of movement,directional control,maximum offset distance,and endpoint travel). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The time required to complete the Timed Up-and-Go Test was significantly longer in the patient group than in the healthy control group(P＜0.05).The results of the stretching test in the four directions of anterior,posterior,leftand right were significantly lower in the patient group than in the healthy control group(P＜0.05).The Berg Balance Scale scores in the patient group were lower than those in the healthy control group(P＜0.05).In the Static Balance Function Test,the results of reaction,movement speed,directional control,maximum offset distance and endpoint travel index were smaller in the patient group than the healthy control group(P＜0.05).To conclude,patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus exhibit overall postural control deficits,and impaired reaction and execution abilities make these patients unable to make timely and accurate motor responses in the face of disturbances from internal or external sources,resulting in postural instability and increasing the risk of falls.

OBJECTIVE To enhance the training quality of anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists， address the resource limitations of a single training base， and promote homogenization of training quality. METHODS A multi-base joint training system for anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists in the Beijing area was established. A mixed research method was employed， collecting data through performance comparisons， questionnaires， and qualitative interviews to compare the differences between the joint training model （experimental group， n＝16） and traditional teaching model （the control group， n＝17）. RESULTS The established joint training system encompassed a unified joint training teaching plan， the formation of a joint training teaching team， the establishment of joint theoretical teaching courses， the implementation of joint case discussions and literature presentations， as well as strengthening the assessment throughout the joint training process. Compared to the control group [theoretical assessment of （76.44±3.66） points， case assessment of （84.31±3.27） points]， the experimental group students achieved higher scores in theoretical assessment （[ 79.85±4.64） points] and case assessment （[ 88.70±5.51） points] （P＜0.05）. Through questionnaires and qualitative interviews， the trainees in experimental group were highly satisfied with the joint training model in terms of theoretical learning， communication skills， and teaching interaction. CONCLUSIONS The multi-base collaborative training system for anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists can integrate advantageous resources and significantly enhance the training effectiveness of anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists， offering value for wider promotion.

To implement the instructions and directives of General Secretary Xi Jinping on important documents related to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， adhere to the equal emphasis on TCM and Western medicine， and promote mutual complementarity， win-win cooperation， and coordinated development between TCM and Western medicine， the China Association of Chinese Medicine has organized seminars on the clinical dominant diseases of TCM in multiple professional fields， achieving a series of results. The aim is to implement the research on dominant diseases of TCM described in the Law of the People's Republic of China on Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance， Innovation and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine， thus serving the construction of advantageous specialties， clinical talent cultivation， national scientific and technological layout， and academic innovation leadership. In the field of otolaryngology， the China Association of Chinese Medicine and many Chinese and Western medicine experts across the country have conducted multiple in-depth discussions and research. At the 10^th Clinical Dominant Disease Series Youth Salon， they have elaborated and demonstrated the basic and specific suggestions and consensus on the clinical advantages of TCM and integrated TCM and Western medicine in the treatment of allergic rhinitis （AR）， making great progress. However， there is still a lack of detailed research paths. Under the guidance of the China Association of Chinese Medicine and based on the TCM Dominant Disease Series Salon for AR， this study analyzed the difficulties encountered in AR diagnosis and treatment according to the occurrence and development law of AR. Based on the advantages and characteristics of AR diagnosis and treatment by TCM and integrated TCM and Western medicine， it explored the research paradigm and technological layout points of AR and put forward suggestions. The layout involved four aspects： Optimization of the AR diagnosis and treatment system， prevention and control of comorbidities， management of chronic diseases， and a platform for TCM inheritance. Additionally， suggestions for layout and research directions， expected goals and values， and priority levels for funding were proposed. The study is expected to provide a theoretical basis and development ideas for the future prevention and treatment of AR with TCM and integrated TCM and Western medicine and promote the high-quality development of TCM.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of Shilinqing granules on calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis in rats and its potential mechanisms through the silence information regulator 1 （SIRT1）/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）/nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing receptor 3 （NLRP3） signaling pathway. METHODS Sixty male SD rats were randomly assigned to control group， model group， and low- ， medium- ， high-dose groups of Shilinqing granules （6.5， 13， 26 g/kg， calculated based on crude drug）， and high-dose of Shilinqing granules+inhibitor group （Shilinqing granules 26 g/kg+SIRT1 inhibitor nicotinamide 5 mg/kg）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the control group， the remaining groups of rats were given 1% ethylene glycol solution to drink freely and were intubated with 2% ammonium chloride solution 2 mL （once a day， for 4 weeks） to construct a calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis model. At the same time of modeling， the administration groups were intubated or （and） intraperitoneally injected with the corresponding drug solutions， while the control and the model groups were intubated with physiological saline and intraperitoneally injected with dimethyl sulfoxide. The body weight， kidney index， urine/ blood biochemical indicators [24-hour urine volume， urine pH， urinary calcium ion （Ca2+） and urinary oxalic acid （Ox） content， as well as blood creatinine （Scr）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， blood Ca2+ content]， serum inflammatory indicators [levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-18]， pathological changes in renal tissue， calcium oxalate crystallization， and crystal scoring were observed. The protein expressions of SIRT1， NLRP3， and NF-κB in renal tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the model group had severe renal tissue damage and a large number of calcium oxalate crystals， with significant decrease or downregulation in body weight， 24-hour urine volume， urine pH， and protein expression of SIRT1 in renal tissue （P＜ 0.05）； crystal score， kidney index， urinary contents of Ca2+ and Ox， serum contents of Scr， BUN and Ca2+， and serum levels of IL- 1β and IL-18， as well as the protein expressions of NF-κB， NLRP3 in renal tissue were significantly increased or upregulated （P＜0.05）. The pathological changes in the rats of 2024ZY2045） each dose group of Shilinqing granules were improved， the calcium oxalate crystals were reduced， and all quantitative indicators were significantly improved as compared with the model group （P＜0.05）； while the SIRT1 inhibitor could significantly reverse the improving effects of high-dose of Shilinqing granules on the above indicators （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Shilinqing granules can inhibit the formation of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis in rats， reduce the levels of inflammatory indicators and its mechanism may be related to upregulating protein expression of SIRT1， and downregulating protein expressions of NF-κB and NLRP3.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of Kummell'disease.Methods Databases of Cochrane Library,PubMed,Medline,Embase,Web of Science,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Data and CBM were used to search clinical studies on percutaneous kyphoplasty virus percutaneous vertebroplasty in the treatment of Kummell's disease from database inception until June 1st,2022.Literature screening was performed according to the speci-fied inclusion and exclusion criteria.In strict compliance with Cochrane's systematic evaluation principle,authors reasonably screened,e-valuated and analyzed the quality of the retrieved papers and then the evaluating indicator of postoperative ODI,JOA,VAS,operation time and intraoperative complications in each included study was evaluated in Review Manager 5.4software.Results Nine papers were included,involving 243 patients in the percutaneous vertebroplasty group and 222 patients in the percutaneous kyphoplasty group.Percu-taneous kyphoplasty had advantages in postoperative ODI score,cement leakage,and postoperative Cobb's angle,which was statistically significant(P＜0.05),but the operation time was longer and the postoperative VAS score improved poorly.There was no significant difference in intraoperative bleeding and height of the postoperative vertebral margin(P＞0.05).Conclusion In the surgical treatment of Kummell's disease,percutaneous vertebral kyphoplasty can more effectively improve the postoperative ODI score,and reduce the post-operative Cobb's angle and the risk of cement leakage compared to the traditional percutaneous vertebroplasty.It has more advantages in improving the clinical efficacy and reducing the postoperative risk.However,the conclusions of this study require more high-quality,multi-angle and large-sample studies in the future.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effects of manual reduction and machine reduction in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV)at different ages.Methods Randomly select 300 patients clinically diagnosed with BPPV who visited the Hearing Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from April 2022 to December 2023.They were divided into young and middle-aged group of 170 cases(18-59 years old)and elderly group of 130 cases(≥60 years old)according to age.Each group was further divided equally into experimental group and control group based on the diagnosis and treatment methods adopted by the patients.The experimental group patients were treated with a benign paroxysmal positional vertigo diagnosis and treatment system(model/specification:SRM-Ⅳ)for machine reduction.The control group patients were treated with manual reduction.Compare the effective rate of reduction,reduction frequency,incidence of residual dizziness symptoms,and duration of each group.Results In young and middle-aged patients,the incidence and duration of residual dizziness symptoms after reduction in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in the effective rate and number of reductions(P>0.05).In elderly group,the reduction efficiency of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group,and the reduction frequency was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence and duration of residual dizziness symptoms after reduction(P>0.05).Conclusion Machine reduction can significantly improve the reduction efficiency of elderly BPPV patients,significantly shorten the duration of residual dizziness after reduction treatment in young and middle-aged patients,and reduce its incidence.

BACKGROUND:Stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease is characterized by a high degree of vertebral compression and posterior wall defects.Most of the patients are elderly people with severe osteoporosis and various medical diseases.Clinically,some surgical methods are often at high risk and are controversial. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of screw placement combined with transpedicular impaction bone grafting in the treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease. METHODS:The clinical data of injured vertebral screw placement combined with transpedicular impaction bone grafting in treatment of stage Ⅲ Kummell's disease from May 2016 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Visual analog scale score,Oswestry disability index,anterior vertebral heights,kyphotic Cobb angle and American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)impairment scale were used to evaluate the effects of surgery.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss and complications were recorded.CT scans were used to evaluate the healing of injured vertebrae at the final follow-up visit. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 26 patients were included,with 7 males and 19 females,at the age range of 62-81 years[mean(69.7±4.8)years].The follow-up time was 18-60 months[mean(35.1±8.9)months].The average operative duration was 133.5 minutes(100-165 minutes),and the average intraoperative blood loss was 285.3 mL(210-350 mL).(2)Visual analog scale and Oswestry disability index scores 1 week after surgery were significantly lower than those before surgery.(3)At 1 week after surgery,the anterior vertebral height corrections and the Cobb angle were(9.0±0.7)mm and(16.2±1.0)°,respectively.During the follow-up period,the loss of vertebral height and kyphosis correction were(5.1±0.3)mm and(8.0±0.4)°,respectively.(4)14 patients(54%)had ASIA grade D before operation,which recovered to grade E at the last follow-up.CT scan showed that all patients achieved good osseous union.(5)Complications occurred in seven patients(27%),including hypostatic pneumonia in two cases,postoperative superficial wound tissue liquefaction in two cases,and adjacent vertebral compression fractures in three cases.(6)It is concluded that screw placement of the injured vertebra combined with transpedicular impaction bone grafting can rapidly rebuild spinal stability,effectively relieve pain and improve neurological function in the treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease.This technique is an effective and relatively minimally invasive surgical option.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired clonal hematopoietic stem cell disease caused by abnormal expression of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) on the cell membrane due to mutations in the phosphatidylinositol glycan class A(PIGA) gene. It is commonly characterized by intravascular hemolysis, repeated thrombosis, and bone marrow failure, as well as multiple systemic involvement symptoms such as renal dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, swallowing difficulties, chest pain, abdominal pain, and erectile dysfunction. Due to the rarity of PNH and its strong heterogeneity in clinical manifestations, multidisciplinary collaboration is often required for diagnosis and treatment. Peking Union Medical College Hospital, relying on the rare disease diagnosis and treatment platform, has invited multidisciplinary clinical experts to form a unified opinion on the diagnosis and treatment of PNH, and formulated the Expert Consensus of Multidisciplinary Diagnosis and Treatment for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (2024), with the hope of promoting the standardization of PNH diagnosis and treatment.

【Objective】 To compare the effects of 3 rehydration methods before blood donation on the prevention of on-site and delayed blood donation-related vasovagal response (VVR) . 【Methods】 From January to June 2021, 6 250 whole blood donors in 6 fixed blood donation sites signed informed consent and were divided into 198 clusters according to donor sites and dates, then they were randomly assigned to receive either oral rehydration salts (ORS), sugar water, or water group, and each drank 500 mL of ORS, sugar water or water within 20 minutes before blood donation. The researchers recorded the actual intervention accepted on site, and recorded the immediate VVR and related information. At rest after blood donation, donors submitted an electronic questionnaire containing socio-demographic information. At 48 hours after blood donation, the researchers called back every donor to record delayed VVR and related information. Logistic regression based on intention to treat (ITT) was used to analyze the difference of the incidence of VVR among the three groups, and the average treatment effect on treated (ATT) was calculated. PASS 2021was used to estimate the sample size and R (4.2.0) for statistical analysis. 【Results】 The cumulative incidence of blood donation-related VVR was 2.67% (2.29%-3.11%) among street whole blood donors under the 3 rehydration methods, in which, the incidence of immediate and delayed VVR was 1.02% (0.79%-1.31%) and 1.65% (1.36%-2.01%) respectively. ITT analysis found that ORS were more effective than water in reducing the incidence of delayed VVR【OR=0.59,95% CI[0.37,0.94]】.There was no significant difference in the incidence of immediate VVR between any two groups (P > 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the incidence of delayed VVR in the sugar water group compared with the water group (P > 0.05). There was a difference of -0.013 (【95% CI[-0.022, -0.004]】or -0.008【95% CI[-0.017, -0.000]】in the incidence of delayed VVR in the ORS group compared with water group or sugar water group, the difference was significant (P<0.05). The cumulative VVR of the three groups showed similar results to the delayed VVR. 【Conclusion】 Drinking ORS before blood donation is the most effective rehydration method to prevent delayed VVR. The next step is to establish the predictive model of delayed VVR to screen the susceptible population and provide them with ORS before blood donation, while other population can choose any liquid they like, thus achieving personalized blood donation-related VVR prevention and control.
