Objective To investigate the impact of red blood cell suspension infusion across various perioperative periods on patients with valvular heart disease. Methods The patients with valvular heart disease admitted to Tianjin Chest Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were selected. Based on the timing of perioperative red cell suspension infusion, patients were categorized into three groups: a group 1 receiving intraoperative red cell suspension infusion, a group 2 receiving red cell suspension infusion within 24 hours after entering the ICU, and a group 3 receiving red cell suspension infusion at both time points. The laboratory results, perioperative blood component infusion volume, and other relevant parameters were retrospectively analyzed. After propensity score matching, the differences in different variables among the three groups were compared. Results After propensity score matching, 102 patients were enrolled, including 52 males and 50 females, with an average age of (61.74±10.58) years. There were 34 patients in each group. The preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) value of the group 2 was significantly higher than that of the group 1 and the group 3, and the amount of red cell suspension and autoblood transfusion was the lowest (P<0.05). Group 1 had the highest postoperative Hb, as well as the highest Hb and hematocrit (HCT) levels within 24 hours post-surgery (P<0.05). The group 1 had the lowest plasma, platelet and cryoprecipitate infusion volumes, and the shortest cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic occlusion time, postoperative ICU stay and hospital stay, and the least blood loss and total drainage volume (P<0.05). The difference between postoperative and preoperative Hb (△Hb1) was highest in group 1 (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients with valvular heart disease, intraoperative-only infusion of red blood cell suspension is associated with a better prognosis at discharge and during follow-up.

Objective To conduct a comprehensive survey of the resource allocation and radiological diagnosis frequency in radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions in Shaanxi Province, and provide scientific evidence for optimizing regional medical resource allocation and formulating radiation protection strategies. Methods In 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on 1564 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions in Shaanxi Province (excluding dental clinics and military/armed police force hospitals). Data on equipment configuration, personnel distribution, and number of diagnostic examinations were collected. Results There were a total of 8798 radiation workers engaged in radiological diagnosis and 3617 X-ray diagnostic units in Shaanxi Province. Moreover, 35.8% (3151) of the radiation workers and 21.9% (792) of the radiological diagnostic units were in tertiary hospitals. There were 91.5 X-ray diagnostic units per million population, including 53.2 X-ray radiography units and 17.1 computed tomography (CT) units per million population. In 2022, the total number of X-ray diagnostic examinations was 21 303 635, primarily including 10 812 197 (50.8%) X-ray radiography examinations and 8 969 358 (42.1%) CT examinations. Analysis of equipment utilization intensity showed that the average annual number of examinations per unit of radiological diagnostic equipment in tertiary hospitals reached 10 506.1, with CT equipment bearing the most prominent workload (13 248.7 examinations/unit). The overall radiological diagnosis frequency was 538.8 examinations/thousand population (273.4 X-ray radiography and 226.8 CT examinations/thousand population). Tertiary, secondary, and primary and below institutions accounted for 39.1%, 44.0%, and 16.9% of the total number of examinations, respectively. Conclusion The radiological diagnosis frequency in Shaanxi Province (538.8 examinations/thousand population) was below the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) Healthcare Level I (823 examinations/thousand population). Issues such as uneven resource distribution and CT equipment overload should be addressed by digital upgrading, hierarchical diagnosis and treatment systems, and enhanced equipment maintenance.

Objective:To assess the safety and efficacy of Blinatumomab in treating children with acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia（B-ALL）.Methods:The clinical data of 10 B-ALL children who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics，the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from May 2022 to April 2024 and treated with Blinatumomab were analyzed retrospectively.Results:All the 10 cases had a complete remission of bone marrow and all minimal residual disease（MRD）were negative. Serious adverse events were reported after chemotherapy，including intracranial venous sinus thrombosis with acute cerebral infarction，acute pancreatitis，paralytic ileus，syndrome of abnormal secretion of antidiuretic hormone，severe pneumonia，liver injury，sepsis（β-lactamase resistant Escherichia coli，Pseudomonas aeruginosa），oral mucositis，persistent agranulocytosis with bloodstream infection. All patients interrupted chemotherapy and received Blinatumomab injections for 14 days. During treatment，there was hematological toxicity，which resulted in grade 3-4 neutropenia in 5 cases within the first 7 days. Transient low-grade fever was observed in 4 cases of non-hematological toxicity during days 1-3 of treatment. One patient experienced a headache on the 7th day of treatment，which worsened on the 14th day，but it improved with mannitol treatment. Mild liver injury was present in 3 cases. Interleukin-6 reached a peak of 71.86 pg/mL on the second day of treatment in one case，whereas it was normal in others. All patients were found to be free of cytokine release syndrome. T lymphocyte count increased in 5 patients after 14 days of Blinatumomab treatment，but B lymphocyte count and serum immunoglobulin levels declined in 10 patients. Hypogammaglobulinemia was observed in 3 of these patients. The median follow-up time was 7.8（3.0-24.0）months. All patients achieved MRD-negative complete remission and 6-month overall survival rate and progression-free survival were both 100%.Conclusion:Children with B-ALL can benefit from using Blinatumomab，which is safer than conventional chemotherapy，as a new treatment strategy for those who cannot tolerate traditional chemotherapy.
