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.

Objective:
To examine the changing trajectories of sleep problems and teacher support among first year middle school students and their covariant relationship,so as to provide theoretical basis for the prevention strategy of sleep problems for the first year junior high school students.
Methods:
In September 2020, a multistage cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 027 first year junior high school students from two schools of Anshun and Guiyang cities in Guizhou Province for survey and follow up assessments (T1:September 2020, T2:October 2020, T3:November 2020, T4:December 2020). The Student Perceived Teacher Support Behavior Questionnaire and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale were administered to assess sleep problems and teacher support among first year junior high school students. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between sleep problems and teacher support. A multivariate latent growth curve model was employed to analyze the changing trajectories and covariant relationship between teacher support and sleep problems, followed by a multi group analysis.
Results:
For first year junior high school students, teacher support scores at T1-T4 were 4.00 (3.47, 4.53), 4.00 (3.47, 4.58), 3.95 (3.47, 4.61) and 4.00 (3.48, 4.67), respectively; sleep problem scores were 0.83 (0.50, 1.17), 0.67 (0.50, 1.17), 0.83 (0.50, 1.17) and 0.67 (0.33, 1.17), respectively. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that teacher support and sleep problems were negatively correlated across all four period ( r =-0.28 to -0.14, all P <0.01). Teacher support perceived by students showed a linear increasing trend (intercept=3.98, slope=0.02), while sleep problems showed a linear decreasing trend (intercept=0.86, slope= -0.02 ) (all P <0.05). The multivariate latent growth model indicated that the rate of increase in teacher support after enrollment effectively predicted the rate of decrease in sleep problem levels ( β=-0.34, P <0.01). Multigroup analysis showed that the covariant relationship was not moderated by gender or boarding status (both P >0.05).
Conclusions
The increase in teacher support experienced by first year junior high school students during the transition period after enrollment, accompanied by a reduction in sleep problems, constitutes a dynamic protective process. The process is not moderated by gender or boarding status.

Work serves as a critical means of obtaining resources, facilitating personal growth, realizing self-worth, and engaging in social interactions. However, work-related diseases pose significant threats to workers’ health and productivity, and impose considerable economic burdens. This article categorized work-related diseases into six major types, including musculoskeletal disorders, mental and behavioral disorders, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, digestive system diseases, reproductive system diseases, and non-specific respiratory diseases, and summarized their risk factors, assessment methods, policy regulation, and prevention and control measures. Current research in this field predominantly relies on cross-sectional studies, which present limitations in causal inference and potential risks of bias. Future studies should expand sample sizes, optimize research designs, and establish multidimensional evaluation systems to comprehensively assess the health and economic impacts of work-related diseases. It is recommended to enhance the translation of research findings into practice, thereby providing a scientific basis for the occupational health protection system and promoting the well-being and sustainable development of the working population.

This study investigated a novel coronary knobby scoring balloon through finite element analysis (FEA) and in vitro anti-slippage testing, evaluating its dilation process under various vascular conditions and comparing it with other balloons. The FEA results indicated that in the cases of healthy artery and diseased artery with different stenosis rates, the stress on the vessels caused by the knobby scoring balloon was significantly smaller than that of the scoring balloon, and was close to that of the plain balloon. In vitro anti-slippage testing showed that the slippage distance of a plain balloon was 0.11±0.06 mm, and there was no slippage for knobby scoring balloon under nominal pressure. Knobby scoring balloon can effectively expand calcified lesion while providing anti-slippage function, and has a lower risk of vascular injury.

Intestinal aging is central to systemic aging, characterized by a progressive decline in intestinal structure and function. The core mechanisms involve dysregulation of epithelial cell renewal and gut microbiota dysbiosis. In addition to previous results in model organisms like Drosophila melanogaster, recent studies have shown that in mammalian models, aging causes increased intestinal permeability and intestinal-derived systemic inflammation, thereby affecting longevity. Therefore, anti-intestinal aging can be an important strategy for reducing frailty and promoting longevity. There are three key gaps remaining in the study of intestinal aging: (1) overemphasis on aging-related diseases rather than the primary aging mechanisms; (2) lack of specific drugs or treatments to prevent or treat intestinal aging; (3) limited aging-specific dysbiosis research. In this review, the basic structures and renewal mechanisms of intestinal epithelium, and mechanisms and potential therapies for intestinal aging are discussed to advance understanding of the causes, consequences, and treatments of age-related intestinal dysfunction.

Objective:To investigate the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) in elderly patients with hip fracture.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted on 78 elderly patients with hip fracture admitted to the Seventh Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital between October 2023 and September 2024. The patients were divided into RIPC group and non-RIPC group using a random number table. They were treated with closed reduction internal fixation, open reduction internal fixation, or hip arthroplasty for hip fracture under regional anesthesia. The RIPC group received RIPC intervention on the day before surgery and after entering the operating room on the day of surgery (3 cycles of 5-minute upper limb exsanguination followed by 5-minute reperfusion using an inflatable tourniquet cuff). The non-RIPC group received the same perioperative management as the RIPC group except RIPC. Plasma high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) concentrations were measured at admission, immediately after surgery, on the morning of the first postoperative day, and on the morning of the third postoperative day and MINS incidence was calculated based on the hs-cTnI concentrations. The incidence of MINS within 3 days postoperatively and the intraoperative complications were compared in the overall cohort and in age-stratified groups (<80 years, ≥80 years). The local adverse reactions at the RIPC application sites were observed within 3 days after surgery.Results:Among the 78 elderly patients with hip fracture, including 21 males and 57 females, aged 60-99 years [79.5(70.0, 87.0)years], 40 were assigned to the RIPC group and 38 to the non-RIPC group. No significant difference was found in the general data of the two groups. There was no significant difference in the overall MINS incidence between the two groups ( P>0.05). In the patients aged <80 years, no MINS incidence was found (0/21) in the RIPC group, compared with 22% (4/18) in the non-RIPC group ( P<0.05), while in the patients aged ≥80 years, no significant difference in MINS incidence was observed between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in intraoperative complication rates in the overall cohort, patients aged <80 years, or patients aged ≥80 years ( P>0.05). None of the patients had local adverse reactions at the RIPC application sites. Conclusion:For elderly patients with hip fracture who received regional anesthesia, RIPC can significantly reduce the incidence of MINS in patients aged <80 years, but exerts no significant effect on MINS incidence in the overall cohort or in patients aged ≥80 years.

Objective:To construct nomogram model based on lymph node imaging parameters for predicting the risk of lymph node metastasis in lung malignancies.Methods:From November 2020 to September 2022, 34 patients (23 males, 11 females, age (65.8±6.8) years) diagnosed with lung malignancies by pathology at the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University were prospectively collected. Based on enhanced CT and 99Tc m-hydrazinonicotinamide-(polyethylene glycol) 4-E((polyethylene glycol) 4-c((Arg-Gly-Asp)fK)) 2 (HYNIC-PEG 4-E(PEG 4-c(RGDfK)) 2; 3PRGD 2)SPECT/CT imaging, referring to the mediastinal lymph node zoning standards formulated by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, lymph nodes with clear pathological properties and imaging locations were included in the study. Lymph nodes were randomly divide into a training group and a validation group at a ratio of 7∶3. Differences of imaging parameters between positive and negative lymph node metastasis were compared by independent-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test or χ2 test. Parameters with statistical differences were incorporate into the multivariate logistic regression equation, and a joint variable diagnostic model for predicting lymph node metastasis was generated. The potential of the model was evaluate by ROC curve analysis, calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:Among 34 patients with malignant lung tumors, 11 had lymph node metastasis. A total of 174 lymph nodes met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a training group of 114 nodes and a validation group of 60 nodes. In the training group and validation group, there were statistically significant differences in lymph node length, lymph node short diameter, lymph node length/short diameter, necrosis, lymph node to mediastinal blood pool radioactive count ratio (T/B), lymph node to liver radioactive count ratio (T/L), lymph node to muscle radioactive count ratio (T/M), and lymph node enhancement mode between patients with positive and negative lymph node metastasis ( χ2 values: 3.89-34.06, t values: 2.31-3.87, Z values: from -3.63 to -2.30, all P<0.05). The lymph node edge was different only in the training group ( χ2=5.62, P=0.018). Finally, the lymph node length/short diameter, edge, necrosis, T/B, T/L, T/M, and lymph node enhancement modes were included in the multivariate logistic regression prediction model, with the AUCs of 0.878 and 0.949 in the training and validation groups, respectively. The calibration curve showed good consistency between the predicted results and the actual results, and DCA showed that the nomogram had clinical practicality. Conclusion:The nomogram model constructed based on the imaging parameters of lymph nodes can evaluate the risk of lymph node metastasis in patients with lung malignancies, providing a convenient and objective tool for determining staging and developing treatment plans.
