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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of neferine(Nef) in promoting vascular regeneration against cerebral ischemia through modulation of mitochondrial calcium uniporter(MCU) ion channel. MethodTaking the area of subintestinal vessels in microvascular deficiency zebrafish as an index, the vascular regenerative efficacy of Nef was evaluated, and the median effective concentration(EC50) was calculated. Rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group, a positive drug group(butylphthalide, 6 mg·kg-1), and Nef low, medium, and high dose groups(0.125, 0.625, 3.125 μg·kg-1). Except for the sham operation group, the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) model was established in other groups. After modeling, the groups were administered the corresponding dose of drugs by gavage, while the sham operation and model groups received equal volumes of saline, once a day for 7 consecutive days. Neurobehavioral scores were assessed for each group of rats, and the infarct rate of ischemic brain tissue was calculated by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC) staining. The regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) of each group was measured using a speckle contrast imaging. Immunofluorescence and Western blot were conducted to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(CD31), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) proteins in each group. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) were divided into the normal group, model group, positive drug group(astragaloside Ⅳ, 10 μmol·L-1), and Nef group (32 nmol·L-1). In the verification of mitochondrial protection of Nef and its mechanism in promoting vascular regeneration, the spermine(MCU agonist) and Nef+spermine group were added. HUVECs model of oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD) was established in all groups except the normal group, the cell viability was assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay, and cell migration ability was evaluated through scratch and tube formation assays. Fluorescent probes(Rhod-2 AM, Fluo-3 AM, JC-1, Calcein AM) and a cellular energy metabolism analyzer were used to analyze the mitochondrial protective effects of Nef. Molecular docking was performed to predict the binding ability of Nef with MCU and HIF-1α, and Western blot was used to detect the effects of Nef on the protein expressions of MCU, B-cell lymphoma-2 associated X protein(Bax), Caspase-3 and HIF-1α in the OGD model HUVECs. ResultThe results of vascular regeneration in microvascular deficiency zebrafish showed that compared to the normal group, the area of subintestinal vessels in the model group significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared to the model group, different concentrations of Nef could significantly increase the area of subintestinal vessels(P<0.01), with the maximum tolerated concentration of 10.24 μmol·L-1 and the EC50 of 0.23 μmol·L-1. Anti-cerebral ischemia results on MCAO rats showed that compared to the sham operation group, the model group had a significant decrease in rCBF and a significant increase in infarct rate, while CD31 expression significantly decreased(P<0.01), and VEGF and HIF-1α protein expressions significantly increased(P<0.05). Compared to the model group, the treated groups showed significant increases in rCBF, significant reductions in infarct volume, and significant increases in CD31, VEGF, and HIF-1α protein expression(P<0.01). Cell experiment results showed that compared to the normal group, the model group had decreased cell viability and migration ability, increased intracellular Ca2+ and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels, reduced mitochondrial permeability transition pore(MPTP) opening, and decreased mitochondrial energy metabolism capability, with increased expressions of MCU, Bax, Caspase-3 and HIF-1α proteins(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared to the model group, the Nef group showed increased cell viability and migration ability, decreased intracellular Ca2+ and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels, increased MPTP opening, enhanced mitochondrial energy metabolism capability, decreased expressions of MCU, Bax and Caspase-3 proteins, and increased HIF-1α protein expression(P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionNef can stabilize mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibit mitochondrial apoptosis. By down-regulating the expression of MCU, it suppresses the activation of intracellular Bax and Caspase-3 while activating the HIF-1α signaling pathway, enhancing the expression of VEGF and CD31, thereby promoting vascular regeneration to treat ischemic brain injury.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common tumor in the digestive tract, the formation mechanism of which remains to be fully elucidated. Although surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have achieved significant results in the treatment of HCC, these methods are accompanied by a considerable number of adverse reactions and complications. In recent years, Chinese medicine has shown remarkable efficacy in the treatment of HCC, and both basic experiments and clinical studies have confirmed the effectiveness of Chinese medicine, which exerts therapeutic effects via multiple components and multiple targets. However, the pathogenesis of HCC is exceptionally complex and not fully understood, which means that studies remain to be carried out regarding the specific mechanism of Chinese medicine in preventing and treating HCC. Network pharmacology and molecular biology can be employed to decipher the mechanism of Chinese medicine in the treatment of diseases. Studies have shown that Chinese medicine can regulate various pathways such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), Hedgehog, Wnt/β-catenin, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad signaling pathways. Chinese medicine can exhibit its anti-HCC effects by inducing cell apoptosis, inhibiting cell proliferation and migration, and blocking the cell cycle via the above pathways. However, the specific mechanisms remain to be systematically studied. This study comprehensively reviews the regulatory effects of Chinese medicine on HCC-related signaling pathways to reveal the molecular mechanisms of Chinese medicine in the treatment of HCC. This view holds the promise of providing new targets, new perspectives, and new therapies for HCC treatment and advancing the modernization and development of Chinese medicine.
