The promulgation of the Technical Specifications for Clinical Use of Blood (2025 Edition) signifies that China's clinical blood transfusion management has transitioned from mere technical operations to a new stage centered on patient blood management (PBM). Through an in-depth comparison of the new and old specifications, this paper analyzes the core transformations regarding conceptual reconstruction, legal alignment, technological upgrades, and closed-loop management. The new specifications establish PBM principles, reinforce legal safeguards for informed consent and emergency treatment, and construct a comprehensive, refined quality control system by specifying compatibility testing standards and introducing a post-transfusion evaluation system. Medical institutions should seize this opportunity to update management protocols and information systems, deepen multidisciplinary collaboration, and drive the profound transformation of clinical blood use from focusing solely on safety assurance to placing equal emphasis on science and value.

Objective To investigate occupational exposure levels of lead, arsenic and cadmium in the lead smelting plant of Hunan Shui Kou Shan Nonferrous Metals Group Co. Ltd., analyze their effects on health of employees, and compare the applicability of different occupational health risk assessment methods, and to provide a basis for prevention and control of occupational exposure risks in enterprises. Methods According to systematic sampling method, 380 employees with lead, arsenic and cadmium exposure (exposure group) and 100 non-exposure employees (non-exposure group) were selected from 2022 to 2024 for on-site investigation of occupational health [concentration time-weighted average (C_TWA)] and physical examination. The risk was evaluated by qualitative assessment method, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inhalation risk assessment method, and the Singapore Ministry of Manpower (MOM) semi-quantitative method. The consistency was analyzed by the Kappa test. Results C_TWA values of lead, arsenic, and cadmium in all positions were lower than the occupational exposure limit (OEL). The levels of blood lead, urine arsenic, and urine cadmium, as well as the prevalence of multiple systems in the exposure group were significantly higher than those in the non-exposure group (P<0.05). The proportions of chronic lead, arsenic, and cadmium poisoning were increasing year by year in the exposure group (P<0.05). The qualitative assessment method mainly indicated low and medium risk, while the EPA and MOM methods mainly indicated medium and high risk, with good agreement between the two methods (Kappa=0.676, P<0.05). Conclusion Although the enterprise meets the C_TWA standards, there are still occupational health risks of lead, arsenic, and cadmium. The EPA inhalation risk assessment method is more applicable.

[Objective] To analyze the effects of different factors and red blood cell transfusion thresholds on the efficacy of neonatal red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, in order to provide more references for neonatal transfusions to better achieve rational and effective blood use. [Methods] A retrospective collection of data from 282 neonates who received RBC transfusions at our hospital from 2022 to 2023 was conducted, including birth weight, gestational age, number of blood transfusions, length of hospital stay, assisted ventilation during RBC transfusion, and laboratory test results before and after transfusion. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis to comprehensively analyze the impact of different factors on the efficacy of RBC transfusion in neonates. [Results] The results showed that the gestational age and weight of newborns at birth were negatively correlated with their length of hospital stay and the number of RBC transfusions during hospitalization. Newborns with younger gestational age and lower weight had longer hospital stays and more RBC transfusions during hospitalization. After administering RBCs according to the standard of 15 mL/kg, there was a statistically significant difference in the efficacy of RBC transfusion at different transfusion thresholds. In non-critical situations, RBC transfusions were ineffective when the pre-transfusion hemoglobin (Hb) level was >120 g/L. When the pre-transfusion Hb level was ≤70 g/L, RBC transfusions achieved higher efficacy in both critical and non-critical situations. [Conclusion] In critical situations, the group with pre-transfusion Hb values ≤ 70 g/L has the best RBC transfusion effect, while in non-critical situations, the group with pre-transfusion Hb levels between 81 and 90 g/L has the best RBC transfusion effect. Overall, the efficacy of RBC transfusion in non-critical situations is higher than that in critical situations.

Chronic ulcers on the body surface are non-healing wounds.Establishing a suitable animal model of chronic wounds will provide an important tool for research aimed at preventing and understanding the complexity of chronic wound formation and related pathological mechanisms in the human body.Animal wound models are usually constructed by inducing molecular abnormalities via external injury interventions to induce wound formation.Common modeling method include surgical resection,pressure ischemia,drugs,and radiation treatment.The success of model construction can then be evaluated by various monitoring method,such as natural recovery of the wound without intervention,measurement of wound size observation of physical signs,measurement of body mass,organ index,and infrared imaging.Despite the existence of numerous modeling and evaluating method,however,there is currently a lack of unified standards for animal chronic wound models.Researchers should thus choose appropriate modeling and model-evaluation method based on their actual needs,to obtain the best experimental result.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma （ICC） is a highly malignant biliary tumor， and early-onset ICC （EOICC） refers to ICC with an age of ≤50 years at the time of confirmed diagnosis and often has a higher clinical stage and more significant biological invasiveness. At present， the incidence rate of EOICC is increasing rapidly， but the research on EOICC is still in its early stage. Current evidence has shown that EOICC has significantly different epidemiological， clinical， and molecular characteristics from late-onset ICC. Therefore， the research on the high-risk factors and pathogenesis of EOICC is of great importance for the early identification， diagnosis， and targeted treatment of EOICC. Due to the younger age and better physical condition of EOICC patients， they can tolerate medical interventions with higher risks， and active individualized diagnosis and treatment regimens can be adopted， allowing patients to obtain similar survival and prognosis as those with late-onset ICC. However， due to the significant differences in molecular characteristics between EOICC and ICC， existing targeted drugs may not be suitable for EOICC patients， posing a huge challenge for the systematic treatment of patients with advanced EOICC. The clinical and basic research on EOICC is still lagging behind， and the population characteristics and pathogenic factors of EOICC should be further clarified， in order to promote the establishment of prevention， diagnosis， and treatment standards for the EOICC population.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of total lignans of Arctii Fructus on the retinal tissue in the rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. MethodWistar rats were randomized into normal， model， solvent， Shuangdan Mingmu Capsules （618 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （100， 200， 400 mg·kg^-1， respectively） total lignans of Arctii Fructus groups， with 16 rats in each group. The rat model was established by streptozotocin （STZ） combined with a high-fat diet and administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage once a day for 14 weeks. At the 14^th week， blood was sampled for the collection of serum from the abdominal aorta after anesthesia， and bilateral eyeballs were collected and frozen. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the retinal tissue in rats. The pathological changes of retinal vascular network in rats were observed by retinal vascular tissue digestion and mounting The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1） in the serum were determined by the ELISA kit. ResultCompared with the normal group， the solvent group showed pathological changes in the retinal tissue， reduced retinal ganglion cells （P<0.01）， and retinal thinning （P<0.01）， decreased E/P value in retinal blood vessels （P<0.01）， and elevated serum levels of VEGF， TNF-α， and ICAM-1 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the total lignans of Arctii Fructus increased the retinal ganglion cells （P<0.01）， thickened the retina （P<0.01）， and lowered the serum levels of VEGF， TNF-α， and ICAM-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionTotal lignans of Arctii Fructus may lower the VEGF， TNF-α， and ICAM-1 levels to protect the retina.
