Objective:
To investigate the status of heat illness, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heat wave knowledge among food delivery riders, so as to provide a basis for optimizing heat wave response measures for food delivery riders.
Methods:
In November 2022, food delivery riders from a large food delivery platform in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province were selected as survey subjects using a cluster sampling method. A self-designed electronic questionnaire was used to select demographic information, work status, lifestyle behaviors and disease history, heat illness status, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heatwave.
Results:
A total of 911 questionnaires were distributed, and 830 valid questionnaires were recovered, resulting in a valid response rate of 91.11%. Among the respondents, 796 (95.90%) were male, and 818 (98.55%) worked full-time. The mean age was (27.75±8.00) years. A total of 470 respondents (56.63%) had a work tenure of less than 1 year. The primary working hours were 8-<12 hours, with 504 people accounting for 60.72%. There were 108 cases of heatstroke, with an occurrence rate of 13.01%. And 286 people reported heat-related symptoms, with an occurrence rate of 34.46%. The overall awareness rate of heat wave knowledge was 73.22%, while the awareness rate of heat warning signal classification was relatively low at 9.04%. The heat wave cognition score was (5.86±1.31) points. There were statistically significant differences in heat wave cognition scores among food delivery riders of different ages, educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and work durations (all P<0.05). Regarding positive adaptive behaviors, the number of riders paying attention to weather forecasts and actively learning about preventive measures was higher (734 people each, accounting for 88.43%). Regarding negative adaptive behaviors, the number of riders who often drank ice-cold beverages was higher (509 people, accounting for 61.33%). The heat wave adaptive behavior score was (6.88±1.77) points. There were statistically significant differences in adaptive behavior scores among riders with different educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and smoking frequency (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The occurrence rates of heatstroke and heat-related symptoms among food delivery riders are relatively high. The knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors regarding heat wave are at a moderate level. It is suggested to strengthen health education, reinforce risk cognition of heat wave, and promote positive adaptive behaviors among food delivery riders.

Objective: Blood safety surveillance is a critical measure for the objective assessment of blood quality and enhancing transfusion safety. This study aims to comprehensively understand the current status of blood safety surveillance and management in blood collection and supply institutions in Sichuan Province, systematically analyze existing problems and vulnerabilities, and provide a basis for optimizing management strategies and improving capabilities to ensure blood safety. Methods: The Blood Safety Surveillance questionnaire was designed, covering adverse donor reaction reporting, management of adverse events, and transfusion adverse reaction feedback. An online survey was conducted via Questionnaire Star platform among 21 blood collection and supply institutions in the province, gathering information on management systems, process implementation, and utilization of monitoring data. The collected data were organized and statistically analyzed using Excel. Results: The questionnaire response rate and validity rate were both 100%. Blood collection and supply institutions in Sichuan Province have generally established a blood safety surveillance system and achieved positive outcomes. Regarding adverse events in blood collection and supply, 95.24% (20 institutions) have established reporting procedures, and 66.67% (14) collect information through multiple channels such as internal reports, external reports, and statistical trend feedback. A total of 90.48% (19) institutions regularly summarize and analyze adverse event data, and 85.71% (18) produce reports with improvement recommendations based on this analysis.71.43% (15) institutions implement reward and penalty measures, and 71.43% (15) report underreporting or omission due to accountability or performance concerns. In terms of monitoring adverse blood donation reactions, all blood collection and supply institutions have established full-process management systems.76.19% (16) collect data through multiple approaches, including on-site donation records, voluntary donor reports, and donor follow-ups. Adverse reactions were followed up in 95.24% (20) of institutions with 65% (13) completing follow-ups within 24 hours.80.95% (17) have established investigation procedures, while 66.67% (14) believe underreporting or omission still occurs. All blood collection and supply institutions regularly compile statistics on adverse donation reactions. Of these, 85.71% (18) institutions providing feedback to management departments and 90.48% (19) analyzing the data and making recommendations.76.19% (16) institutions use monitoring data for return donor management and targeted care, and 71.43% (15 stations) incorporate it into management reviews. Regarding adverse transfusion reactions, 95.24% (20) institutions have established and implemented procedures for isolating, recalling, and tracing of problematic blood units. However, only 42.86% (9) have established feedback mechanisms of adverse transfusion reaction with hospitals, and only 19.05% (4) support direct reporting via information systems.47.62% (10) institutions regularly analyze adverse transfusion reaction data, and 19.05% (4) provide feedback and recommendations to relevant hospitals. All blood collection and supply institutions reported challenges in collecting hospital feedback, citing complexities in data collection and reporting processes. Conclusion: Blood safety surveillance systems have been preliminarily established in Sichuan Province. However, further strengthening is still required, including conducting in-depth data analysis and utilization, standardizing the configuration of emergency medications and equipment, and improving feedback mechanisms for adverse transfusion reactions. To improve the overall level of blood safety management, it is recommended to strengthen closed-loop data management, improve feedback mechanisms between blood collection and supply institutions and hospitals, foster a non-punitive reporting culture, and systematically advance the regionalization and standardization of the monitoring system. These efforts will contribute to sustainably improving the overall effectiveness and sustainability of blood safety management.

Gastric cancer remains a highly prevalent malignancy worldwide, with surgical resection currently constituting the cornerstone of treatment aimed at improving long-term patient survival. Owing to their notable advantages, including reduced surgical trauma and accelerated postoperative recovery, minimally invasive procedures are progressively supplanting conventional open surgery and have become the mainstream approach in gastric cancer management. Concurrently, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has enabled real-time intraoperative monitoring of surgical scenes, thereby furnishing novel technical support for adjunctive decision-making, surgical navigation, and skill assessment during gastrectomy. This article provides a systematic review of the current status of AI applications in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, with a particular focus on research progress pertaining to instrument recognition, surgical phase identification, delineation of normal anatomical structures, detection of metastatic foci, and early warning of intraoperative adverse events. Furthermore, we discuss the potential value of AI in enhancing surgical efficiency, ensuring patient safety, and optimizing surgical education. On this basis, we further analyze the principal challenges and inherent risks confronting current AI systems, with the aim of informing future technological innovation and facilitating clinical translation.

Objective To investigate the effects of Aconite decoction (AD) on the viability and polarization of murine RAW264.7 macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin-4 (IL-4). Methods Cytotoxicity of AD was assessed by the CCK-8 assay. RAW264.7 cells were polarized toward M1 phenotype by LPS or M2 phenotype by IL-4, followed by treatment with varying concentrations of AD. Macrophage polarization was analyzed by flow cytometry. Quantitative PCR was performed to measure mRNA expression of polarization-associated markers (IL-6, iNOS, Arg1, and Ym1). ELISA was used to quantify secreted cytokines (TNF-α and IL-10)in the supernatant. Results At non-toxic concentrations, IL-6 and iNOS mRNA levels in LPS-stimulated cells were significantly upregulated while Arg1 and Ym1 expression in IL-4-treated groups were downregulated by AD. Concurrently, TNF-α secretion in LPS-induced M1 polarization was enhanced but IL-10 production in IL-4-induced M2 polarization was suppressed by AD. Conclusion AD could promote macrophage proliferation and viability, augments LPS-driven M1 polarization, and inhibit IL-4-mediated M2 polarization, which provided experimental evidence for the potential application of AD in tumor immunotherapy.

Objective:To analyze and summarize clinical phenotypic characteristics and genetic variations in patients with intellectual disability and pathogenic variations of the DYNC1H1 gene across 4 generations within a single family. Methods:Retrospective case analysis.Clinical data of a child with epilepsy and intellectual disability and her family members were collected from the Children′s Medical Center, Peking University First Hospital on December 2019.The child was followed up regularly.DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of the child′s family members.Then whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify the genetic variation type in the proband and her family members.The relationship between genotype and phenotype was further analyzed.Results:A total of 13 patients across 4 generations in the family had intellectual disability, and the proband also had drug-resistant epilepsy.The variation c. 13556C> A (p.A4519E) of the DYNC1H1 gene was confirmed by gene testing in 8 patients (no blood samples were obtained from the remaining patients). Conclusions:DYNC1H1 gene-related intellectual disability in most previously reported cases are caused by novel variations of this gene.In this study, a large family of 13 intellectual disability patients across 4 generations caused by a pathogenic mutation in the DYNC1H1 gene was summarized.The findings make precise genetic counseling possible for this family and provide a basis for further studies on the relationship between the genotype and phenotype of the DYNC1H1 gene.

Objective To explore time-related changes in renal function,renal injury biomarkers,and renal pathology in rats entering a low-pressure and low-oxygen(LPLO)environment simulating moving from the plains to a plateau.Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into five groups(n=6 rats per group).Rats in the Control group were placed outside the chamber under normal pressure and oxygen conditions.Rats in the experimental groups were placed in an LPLO chamber to simulate a plateau environment at 5000 m above sea level,and were maintained in the chamber for 3,7,14,and 28 days,respectively.Serum levels of creatinine(CRE),cystatin C(CysC),neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL),kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1),and interleukin-18(IL-18)were measured as biomarkers of renal injury.Pathological changes in the kidney were observed by hematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid-Schiff staining,with quantitative assessment of the following parameters:average glomerular diameter,peritubular capillary(PTC)density per tubule,tubular injury score,and outer medulla(OM)congestion score.Results NGAL,KIM-1,CysC,and CRE were significantly increased in the experimental compared with the Control group(all P<0.05).The average glomerulus diameter was significantly reduced in the LPLO 3 d group and significantly increased in the LPLO 14 d group(both P<0.05).The peritubular capillary(PTC)/tubule ratio was significantly decreased.The renal tubular injury and OM congestion scores were significantly increased(both P<0.05).Regression analysis showed that PTC/tubule was linearly negatively correlated with the LPLO duration,while CRE,CysC,and pathological indicators(mean glomerular diameter,OM congestion score,renal tubular injury score)were curvilinearly correlated with the duration of LPLO(all P<0.05).Variables with a curvilinear correlation were analyzed using restricted cubic splines(RCS).Each curve exhibited an inverted-L shape,with inflection points on day 7,indicating that the rate of increase of all indicators was highest within the first 7 days of LPLO,and the rate of increase then slowed from 7 days to 28 days.Conclusions A simulated move from a plains to a plateau environment was associated with significant structural and functional renal damage,but the kidneys then showed a self-adaptive adjustment process towards the plateau environment.
