Objective: To analyze characteristics of iron-deficient blood donors, implement targeted interventions, and evaluate their effectiveness, thereby providing a reference for formulating blood donor recruitment and care strategies. Methods: Based on serum ferritin (SF) test results, the apheresis platelet donors were divided into the low SF group (n=90; 45 males and 45 females) and the normal SF group (n=651; 510 males and 141 females). The results of related indicators of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Interventions for the low SF group included extending the blood donation interval to at least 45 days (group A) and oral iron supplementation combined with the extended donation interval implemented in group A (group B). Pre-intervention and post-intervention SF results were compared. Results: For both male and female donors, serum iron levels were significantly lower in the low SF group than those of the normal SF group, while the levels of transferrin, unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were higher in the low SF group compared to the normal SF group. Some indicators related to red blood cells showed changes, with more evident alterations in females than in males. Twenty-eight donors in group A and 39 donors in group B completed the study after intervention. SF value in group A was (18.32±8.09) μg/L at baseline and (26.21±17.30) μg/L after intervention. Similarly, SF value in group B was (15.87±7.69) μg/L at baseline and (26.24±15.55) μg/L after intervention. In both groups, SF values after intervention were significantly higher than baseline values. However, the magnitude of change did not significantly differ between groups A and B. Conclusion: Other related indicators in blood donors with low ferritin have also experienced some changes, suggesting that some blood donors may have entered the stage of iron-deficient erythropoiesis. Extending blood donation interval facilitates the recovery of iron storage in low-ferritin apheresis platelet donors. Blood stations should develop care strategies for apheresis platelet donors, including, at a minimum, the prolonged blood donation interval for donors with low ferritin.

Objective: Understand the clinical characteristics of confirmed pneumonia patients infected with new corona virus in secondary epidemic areas and guide the diagnosis and treatment of novel pneumonia in secondary epidemic areas and provide a reference for clinical prevention and control of the epidemic situation. Methods: The clinical data of 33 patients admitted with pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 15 to February 1, 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. At the onset of the disease, we analyzed the primary symptoms such as fever, cough, fatigue, chest tightness, chest pain and also a significant blood test results of the patients. According to the patient's contact history, it was divided into the direct infection group of the main epidemic area and the indirect contact infection group of the main epidemic areas. The difference between clinical manifestations among the two groups was analyzed. Results: The main clinical symptoms of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia in the secondary epidemic area were respiratory tract and systemic symptoms. After grouping according to the presence and absence of direct contact in the main epidemic area, there was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups, and there was no significant difference in symptoms and signs between the two groups (P < 0.05). Some patients had serum amyloid protein (SAP) increased abnormall. Conclusions The respiratory tract and systemic symptoms are the primary symptoms of the patients with the new type of coronavirus pneumonia in the secondary epidemic area, which are not typical. The abnormal increase of serum amyloid protein (SAA) may be used as an auxiliary index for diagnosis and treatment.

In this paper, the classification and location of neuroblastoma in NMR images are realized by using Deep Neural Network(CNN) algorithm as the core technology. The module is integrated to realize the development of computer-aided diagnostic software. It is used to make up for the gap in the field of intelligent identification and accurate positioning of neuroblastoma in the current nuclear magnetic resonance detection technology, effectively reduce the work intensity of doctors reading films, and further promote the clinical application and technical development of nuclear magnetic resonance detection technology in the diagnosis of neuroblastoma.

This study is aimed to design the testing system of multiple parameters of the incubators, and to make their quality control plans. Also it is required to establish a model of data collection and processing based on MCU, and to program the host computer software in order to analyze data. The result shows that the testing system is accurate and stable; also it is convenient to collect the data. This testing system is a good complement of the quality control of incubators. It has a high practical value in improving medical safety and reducing the occurrence of adverse events.

Objective To study the role of D‐lactate gradient across the lung in the rapid diagnosis of pneumonia and evalua‐tion of therapeutic efficacy .Methods Patients were divided into pneumonia group (n=46) and non‐pneumonia group (n=28) in ICU .D‐lactate gradient across the lung were calculated by the difference between arterial and mixed‐venous D‐lactate concentrations before the treatment ,after 3 and 7 days of treatment .Serum procalcitonin (PCT) ,Oxygenation index ,the lung injury score (LIS) and clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS) were recorded at the same time .Results The mean D‐lactate gradient across the lung in pneumonia group was significantly higher than that in non‐pneumonia group[(163 .84 ± 10 .72) ng/mL vs .(30 .33 ± 7 .25) ng/mL ,P<0 .01) ]before treatment .Using a cut‐off value of 106 .11 ng/mL ,D‐lactate gradient across the lung′s sensitivity for di‐agnosis pneumonia was 90 .7% and its′specificity was 75 .5% .D‐lactate gradient across the lung correlated with LIS (r= 0 .554 , P<0 .01) and CPIS(r=0 .543 ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion D‐lactate gradient across the lung correlates with lung injury and pulmonary infection positively and may be a potential biomarker for rapid diagnosis of pneumonia .

Objective To investigate the impact of Ang-1 on the septic mice′pulmonary vascular endothelial barrier function and VE-cadherin and its mechanism. Methods 80 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into NS, LPS, LPS+Ang-1, LPS+Ang-1+ Ly and Ang-1 groups (n = 16). Measure VE-cadherin, Ang-2 levels in plasma and lung permeability index (LPI).Test the total VE-cadherin of lung and the phosphorylation of VE-cadherin expression. Results Plasma Ang-2 was higher compared with NS group(P<0.01) except Ang-1 group. In LPS+Ang-1 group and LPS+Ang-1+Ly group, plasma Ang-2 was lower compared with LPS group (P <0.05). In LPS+Ang-1+Ly group, plasma Ang-2 was higher compared with LPS+Ang-1 group (P<0.01). LPI, plasma VE-cadherin and lung phosphorylation of VE-cadherin were the same with the trends of the plasma Ang-2 , but the lung total VE-cadherin showed the opposite tendency. Conclusion Through the PI3K/Akt signal transduction pathway , Ang-1 may regulate septic mice′VE-cadherin , hence the pulmonary vascular endothelial barrier function improved.
