Objective: To systematically analyze the current status and influencing factors of platelet supply in medical institutions across China, and to explore the problems and future development directions of the existing supply models. Methods: From February 25 to March 5, 2025, a web-based questionnaire survey was performed. A self-designed questionnaire was distributed to staff in the blood transfusion departments of medical institutions nationwide in China. Data on the current status and influencing factors of platelet supply were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 2 268 responses were collected in this survey, with 1 366 valid questionnaires finally included, covering 33 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government across China. The survey revealed that platelet supply in Chinese medical institutions exhibited a pattern of "sufficient in the eastern region, stable in the central region, and scarce in the western region": adequate in East China; generally favorable in South China except Guangxi; centered on Beijing and Tianjin in North China; basically met but with insufficient reserves in Central China; subject to seasonal fluctuations in Northeast China; only meeting the baseline supply in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in Southwest China; and notably short in Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang in Northwest China. Family donor mobilization was required in 81.2% (1 109/1 366) of institutions, whereas this proportion was only 12.7% (173/1 366) among institutions with sufficient supply. Tertiary hospitals constituted the main users, among which tertiary Class A hospitals had the highest sufficiency rate, and secondary Class B hospitals showed the most pronounced shortage. A total of 84% (1 147/1 366) of institutions lacked a professional management team; only 19% (266/1 366) had an inventory warning system, of which 88% (234/266) considered it effective. Platelet reservation required 3 days in 33% (458/1 366) of institutions. The mandatory transfusion rate was 30.55% (29/118) when the reservation lead time exceeded 3 days, representing an increase of 5.98% compared with 24.57% (55/180) in the same-day reservation group. For optimization, most institutions called for improved blood donation services, strengthened education and incentives, establishment of regional coordination and policy collaboration, and supplementary suggestions focused on technologies for extending platelet shelf life. Conclusion: Regional imbalance in platelet supply across China is prominent, with supply shortages in some provinces, reliance on family donor mobilization in most institutions, weak grassroots support capacity, imperfect management systems, and supply timeliness constraining clinical practice. Systematic improvements are needed in optimizing blood donation services, strengthening regional coordination, improving relevant policies, and developing platelet preservation technologies, so as to enhance the level of supply security and patient safety.

Objective:
To explore the correlation between parent-child separation experience and non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide a reference for the prevention and improvement of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students.
Methods:
Using a stratified cluster random sampling method, 3 114 junior and senior high school students aged 11-19 years were recruited from Chenzhou and Jishou cities in Hunan Province between November 2024 and September 2025. A self designed questionnaire and the Functional Self injury Behavior Assessment Scale were used to collect information on parental labor migration and adolescents NSSI behavior status. Binary Logistic regression model was used to analyse the association between parent-child separation experiences and NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students, with further stratified analysis by gender.
Results:
The prevalence rate of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students was 9.9%, and the overall incidence of parent-child separation was 48.9%, comprising 17.1% separated from their father only, 5.5% separated from their mother only, and 26.3% separated from both parents. After adjusting for variables such as age, gender, and ethnicity, the results of binary Logistic regression analyses indicated that adolescents with parent-child separation experiences had a higher risk of NSSI behavior ( OR =1.31, 95% CI =1.01-1.69, P <0.05). Compared with those without parent-child separation experiences, adolescents who were separated from their mother only ( OR =1.68, 95% CI =1.03-2.74) or from both parents ( OR =1.41, 95% CI =1.04-1.92) showed significantly increased risks of NSSI behavior (both P <0.05).
Conclusions
Parent-child separation experiences are associated with an increased risk of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students. Strengthened attention should be paid to left behind senior high school students to reduce the occurrence of NSSI in adolescents.

Objective: To systematically investigate the current status of platelet clinical application in Chinese medical institutions based on a nationwide large-sample survey, to analyze the key issues in rational utilization and transfusion efficacy management, and to provide empirical evidence for the construction of a standardized and refined platelet management system. Methods: A selfdesigned online questionnaires was distributed to transfusion department personnel across China to collect and analyze the current clinical application status of platelets. Results: A total of 2 268 questionnaires were collected in this survey, among which 1 375 valid responses were obtained from medical institutions across 33 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). The survey revealed an uneven distribution of clinical platelet consumption; 67.05% of facilities used fewer than 500 platelet u-nits annually, and highvolume demand concentrated in a small number of largescale hospitals. Platelet consumption showed a weak correlation with hospital grade and hospital bed number. The disease spectrum for platelet transfusion was highly concentrated. Hematological diseases constituted the leading indication (reported by 1 022 institutions), followed by traumarelated surgeries and solid tumors. In terms of management practice, 70.3% of participating institutions routinely performed posttransfusion efficacy evaluation. Nevertheless, this practice was limited by inadequate evaluation depth (only 58.3% kept detailed records) and institutional deficiency (12.9% had no relevant evaluation systems), mainly due to insufficient awareness and lack of unified criteria. Although 70.0% of hospitals had established adversereaction management workflows and 91.8% achieved highcoverage adverseevent reporting, prominent drawbacks remained, including nonstandardized implementation (standard practice was adopted merely in 41.9% of centers), unsystematic outcome analysis (regular analysis performed in only 26.4% of institutions), and broken feedback loops (56.3% failed to send feedback to blood collection and supply institutions). More than 90% of hospitals selfrated their rational plateletuse rate above 75%. The primary contributors to inappropriate platelet transfusion included biased assessment of clinical indications and excessive prophylactic transfusion triggered by timerelated imbalance between blood supply and clinical demand. Platelet supply status had no statistically significant correlation with routine posttransfusion assessment and selfevaluated rational use levels. Furthermore, plateletrelated management was confronted with a paradox coexisting of supply shortage and bloodproduct waste. While platelet preparation quality was generally reliable, expiration was the top cause of platelet discard (24.80%). Insufficient and untimely supply (79.3%) and short shelflife (46.0%) were recognized as core systematic challenges. Conclusion: China's current platelet management system features extensive institutional coverage paired with insufficient closedloop effectiveness. First, platelet consumption is highly concentrated, yet supply shortage and expiredproduct discard coexist, reflecting insufficient capacity for dynamic inventory allocation and wholeprocess administration. Second, clinicians generally hold positive selfevaluations for rational platelet application, whereas their clinical decisions are substantially constrained by conflicts between supply and demand, bringing about situational compromises under resource limitations. Third, despite established frameworks for efficacy evaluation and adverseevent management, widespread problems such as irregular documentation, unsystematic data analysis and interrupted crosshospital feedback hinder the transition from formal rules to practical management benefits. Comprehensive strategies should be adopted for future improvement. Clinically, standardized training on transfusion indications and unified criteria for posttransfusion assessment should be popularized. Administratively, intelligent inventory systems ought to be constructed to balance supplydemand matching, and closedloop management covering adverseevent analysis and feedback to bloodsupply agencies should be enforced. At the systematic level, advances in technologies for prolonged platelet storage are urgently required to build a resilient and highefficiency plateletguarantee system.

Objective: To evaluate the operational efficiency of a single-center platelet genotype database in HLA genotype-matched platelet search and applcation, and to compare the efficiency among different matching strategies, hospitals, and between first-time versus repeat application modes. Methods: Data on platelet genotype-based matching applications from December 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026, at our center were collected. Four time intervals were defined according to the workflow: the time from clinical hospital application to blood center receipt confirmation (Δt
); the time from blood center confirmation to completion of platelet gene database search (Δt
); the time from completion of database searching to availability of compatible platelet products (Δt
); and the time from clinical hospital application to availability of compatible platelet products (Δt
). Applications were classified as first-time or repeat based on application history, and as speed-priority matching strategy or classical matching strategy based on matching approach, with efficiency differences compared across the groups. Results: A total of 1 051 valid matching applications were included. The median values of Δt
, Δt
, Δt
, and Δt
were 6.2 h, 0.1 h, 0.2 h, and 11.5 h, respectively. Overall, 55.9% of genotype-based matches resulted in compatible platelets being available on the same day. The median Δt
of the speed-priority strategy was significantly shorter than that of the classical strategy (5.2 h vs 39.6 h, P<0.001). Median Δt
differed significantly among hospitals (P<0.001), with the shortest being 4.4 h. The median Δt
for repeat applications was 6.9 h, significantly shorter than that for first-time applications (27.7 h, P<0.001). Conclusion: The platelet gene database demonstrates sufficient efficiency in HLA genotype-matched platelet searching and application to meet clinical demands. Optimizing matching strategies and hospital application workflows may shorten the time for obtaining compatible platelets.

Objective To explore the efficiency improvement in segmenting neural network with the application of Transformer + U-Net artificial intelligence (AI) and modeling with the application of Python scripts in three-dimensional (3D) printing brachytherapy. Methods A Transformer + U-Net AI neural network model was constructed, and Adam optimizer was used to ensure rapid gradient descent. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging data of patients were standardized and processed as self-made data sets. The training set was used to train AI and the optimal result weight parameters were saved. The test set was used to evaluate the AI ability. Python programming language was used to write an automated script to obtain the output segmentation image and convert it to the STL file for import. The source applicator and needle could be automatically modeled. The time of automatic segmentation and modeling and the time of manual segmentation and modeling were entered by two people, and the difference was verified by paired t-test. Results Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), mean intersection over union (MIOU), and Hausdorff distance (HD95) were used for evaluation. DSC was

BACKGROUND:
The optimal antidepressant dosages remain controversial. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of antidepressants and characterize their dose-response relationships in the treatments of major depressive disorders (MDD).
METHODS:
We searched multiple databases, including the Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, and Web of Science, for the studies that were conducted between January 8, 2016, and April 30, 2023. The studies are double-blinded, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving the adults (≥18 years) with MDD. The primary outcomes were efficacy of antidepressant and the dose-response relationships. A frequentist network meta-analysis was conducted, treating participants with various dosages of the same antidepressant as a single therapy. We also implemented the model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) using a Bayesian method to explore the dose-response relationships.
RESULTS:
The network meta-analysis comprised 135,180 participants from 602 studies. All the antidepressants were more effective than the placebo; toludesvenlafaxine had the highest odds ratio (OR) of 4.52 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.65-7.72), and reboxetine had the lowest OR of 1.34 (95%CI: 1.14-1.57). Moreover, amitriptyline, clomipramine, and reboxetine showed a linear increase in effect size from low to high doses. The effect size of toludesvenlafaxine increased significantly up to 80 mg/day and subsequently maintained the maximal dose up to 160 mg/day while the predictive curves of nefazodone were fairly flat in different dosages.
CONCLUSIONS:
Although most antidepressants were more efficacious than placebo in treating MDD, no consistent dose-response relationship between any antidepressants was observed. For most antidepressants, the maximum efficacy was achieved at lower or middle prescribed doses, rather than at the upper limit.
