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.

Objective:
To explore the network structure of anxiety and depressive symptoms, and psychotic like experiences in junior and senior high school students with different sleep qualities, and to provide a reference for improving sleep quality in the population.
Methods:
A cross sectional online survey was conducted among 22 997 junior and senior high school students from seven junior and senior high schools in Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, using convenience sampling. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the 16item Prodromal Questionnaire (PQ-16) were administered. Independent sample t-test was used to compare mental health status between adolescents with and without sleep problems. Network analysis was applied to examine the symptom association patterns across gender and school stage subgroups.
Results:
The prevalence of sleep problems among junior and senior high school students was 22.58%. The total anxiety symptom score (8.92± 4.02 ), total depressive symptom score (13.35±5.66), and scores for each factor of PQ-16 (perceptual and sensory abnormalities, thinking abnormalities, negative symptoms, and specific perceptual and sensory abnormalities) (3.32±3.32, 2.08±2.36, 3.36± 2.74 , 1.44±1.86) in the group with sleep problems were all significantly higher than those in the group without sleep problems ( 3.43 ±3.33, 5.03±4.73; 0.63±1.52, 0.47±1.11, 0.77±1.48, 0.25±0.79), with statistically significant differences ( t =99.60, 106.54, 82.49, 68.51, 89.09, 67.30, all P <0.01). In females with sleep problems, the anxiety-depressive symptoms edge weight was the highest (0.44). In males with sleep problems, the "sleep latency-sleep efficiency" edge weight was the highest (0.43), and the strength centrality values of "perceptual abnormalities" "medication factor" and "sleep latency" ranked the higher (1.32, 1.31 and 1.25). The network connectivity strength of the sleep problem group was higher in senior high school students than in junior high school students, and the strength centrality (1.12) and betweenness centrality (0.12) of negative symptoms were higher than those in junior high school students (1.02 and 0.11).
Conclusions
The network associations between sleep problems and psychological symptoms in junior and senior high school students exhibit gender and school stage specific characteristics. Differentiated intervention strategies should be tailored to specific subgroups.

OBJECTIVE To establish an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of the contents of six Aconitum alkaloids in Compound chondroitin sulfate tablets, and to perform quality evaluation of samples from different batches, thereby providing a reference for the quality control of this preparation.METHODS Chromatographic separation was performed on an Agilent SB-C 18 column using gradient elution with 0.2% formic acid (adjusted to pH 7.5 with ammonia) and acetonitrile as the mobile phases. The flow rate was 0.3 mL/min, the column temperature was 35 ℃, and the injection volume was 1 μL. Mass spectrometric analysis was performed using an AJS ESI + ion source in multiple reaction monitoring mode, with quantification by the external standard method. Method validation was performed. The established UPLC-MS/MS method was applied to determine the contents of the six Aconitum alkaloids in 64 batches of samples from three manufacturers, including three diester-type alkaloids (aconitine, hypaconitine, and mesaconitine) and three monoester-type alkaloids (benzoylaconine, benzoylhypaconine, and benzoylmesaconine). Descriptive statistics, the Kruskal-Wallis H test, principal component analysis (PCA), and Spearman’s rank correlation analysis were used to evaluate the content distribution of Aconitum alkaloids, differences among samples from different manufacturers, and correlations among the components.RESULTS Good linearity was observed for the six Aconitum alkaloids over their respective concentration ranges, with correlation coefficients (all r >0.99). The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for precision, repeatability, and stability were all less than 5%. The limits of detection and quantification were no higher than 0.003 ng/mL and 0.01 ng/mL, respectively. The mean recoveries ranged from 96.43% to 102.30%, with RSDs ranging from 0.35% to 4.92%. Among the 64 batches of samples, the total content of monoester-type alkaloids (mean value of 0.034 9 mg/tablet) was markedly higher than that of diester-type alkaloids (mean value of 0.002 2 mg/tablet). Benzoylmesaconine showed the highest content, with a mean value of 0.031 0 mg/tablet, whereas the other five components were present at relatively low levels and showed considerable inter-batch variation. No statistically significant differences were observed in the contents of the six components among samples from different manufacturers ( P >0.05). PCA showed no obvious clustering trend, and significant correlations were observed among some components ( P <0.05).CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC-MS/MS method enables the rapid and accurate simultaneous determination of the above-mentioned six Aconitum alkaloids in Compound chondroitin sulfate tablets. The quality evaluation of multiple batches of samples provides a reference for the quality control of this preparation.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of modified Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction (香砂六君子汤, XLD) in the treatment of abemaciclib-related diarrhea of spleen-stomach deficiency type, and its regulatory effect on immune function in patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer. MethodsA prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) study was conducted. A total of 70 patients with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer and abemaciclib-related diarrhea were randomly divided into two groups, with 35 cases in each group. In addition to abemaciclib, the control group was treated with oral loperamide, while the trial group was treated with oral modified XLD. Both groups received treatment for 7 days as one course. The efficacy for diarrhea after treatment was compared between groups. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score, inflammatory markers including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and immune function indicators including CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were compared between groups before and after treatment. Adverse events during the study were recorded, and safety was assessed. ResultsDuring the study, 1 case in the trial group and 2 cases in the control group, were lost to follow-up leaving 34 cases in the trial group and 33 cases in the control group for final analysis. The total effective rate of diarrhea in the trial group was 94.12% (32/34), higher than 72.73% (24/33) in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, both groups showed decreased TCM syndrome scores, increased KPS scores, increased CD4⁺, CD8⁺, and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio, and decreased IL-6 and CRP levels (all P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the trial group had higher KPS scores, CD4⁺ levels, and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratios, and lower TCM syndrome scores and IL-6, CRP, and CD8⁺ levels (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the trial group was 20.59% (7/34), with an incidence of adverse drug reactions of 14.71% (5/34) after causality assessment; in the control group, the corresponding rates were 45.45% (15/33) and 39.39% (13/33), respectively. The incidence of adverse events in the trial group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionModified XLD can effectively alleviate abemaciclib-related diarrhea in patients with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer of the spleen-stomach deficiency type, reduce levels of inflammatory cytokines, and regulate immune function, with a favorable safety profile.
