ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome). MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design,confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals,such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days,and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale (CARIFS) and the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment,48 hours after medication,72 hours after medication, and (6+1) d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (90 cases) or the control group (90 cases). All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was (5.29±1.25) d,and that in the control group was (5.40±1.68) d,without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention,52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative,without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention,there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions, including headache,muscle soreness, and the need for extra care (P<0.05). On the (6+1) days after the intervention,the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions, including sore throat,bad sleep,uncomfortable feeling,poor spirit and fatigue,crying more than usual,the need for extra care,symptom,function,influence on parents,and total score (P<0.05). The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom, function, and influence on parents,as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time,scores of both groups decreased significantly,with a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention,the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up,the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group,with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases, there were no complications,severe cases, and critical cases in the two groups,without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome) are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules, and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome).

Objective: To evaluate the risk of donation-related adverse reactions, donation behavior, and contributions to the blood supply among donors aged 56-65 years following extension of the upper age limit for voluntary blood donation, and to provide real-world evidence for optimizing blood donation age policies in China. Methods: A multicenter retrospective cohort was established using blood donation databases from Hainan, Shenzhen, and Jiangxi. A total of 1 180 767 donors contributing 2 020 407 whole-blood and apheresis donations were included. Donations were classified by donor age at each donation into the 18-55-year and 56-65-year groups. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were used to compare the risks of overall, local, and systemic donation-related adverse reactions between the two age groups. Restricted cubic spline analysis was used to assess the continuous association between donor age and the risk of overall adverse reactions. Poisson GEE models were used to compare annual donation frequency, and donation participation and contributions to the blood supply among donors aged 56-65 years were evaluated. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institute of Blood Transfusion, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (No.2025012) and registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2500114960). Results: A total of 1 960 711 donations were included in the 18-55-year group and 59 696 in the 56-65-year group. The overall donation-related adverse reaction rates were 3.890‰and 0.704‰, respectively. Multivariable GEE analysis showed that, compared with donors aged 18-55 years, those aged 56-65 years had lower risks of overall adverse reactions (adjusted OR=0.294, 95%CI: 0.217-0.398, P<0.001) and systemic adverse reactions (adjusted OR=0.163, 95%CI: 0.101-0.263, P<0.001), whereas no statistically significant difference was observed in the risk of local adverse reactions (adjusted OR=1.337, 95%CI: 0.487-3.670, P=0.573). Donor age was nonlinearly associated with the risk of overall adverse reactions (P overall<0.001, P nonlinear<0.001), with the risk generally decreasing with increasing age between 18 and 65 years. The mean annual donation frequency was higher among donors aged 56-65 years than among those aged 18-55 years (1.63 vs 1.24 donations per year; adjusted IRR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.30-1.39, P<0.001). During the study period, donors aged 56-65 years contributed 2.95% of all donations; their whole-blood donations and whole-blood collection volume accounted for 2.36% and 2.37% of the corresponding totals, respectively. Conclusion: Under current health screening and standardized donor management, donors aged 56-65 years did not show an increased risk of short-term donation-related adverse reactions and demonstrated a higher annual donation frequency, together with a measurable contribution to the blood supply. These findings support appropriately extending the upper age limit for voluntary blood donation under strict health screening to broaden the donor pool and supplement the blood supply.

Objective: Some regions in China have lowered the minimum interval for whole blood donation to 3 months through local regulations: Hainan, effective from March 1, 2012, allows men to donate at intervals of≥3 months and women at intervals of≥4 months; Shenzhen, effective from November 1, 1995, allows whole blood donation at intervals of≥3 months. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of shortening the whole blood donation interval on blood donation adverse reactions and donation behavior, thereby providing scientific evidence for policy evaluation and revision of relevant regulations. Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study based on blood donation registry data from Shenzhen and Hainan. Data were obtained from the blood information management systems of Hainan Province (1991-2025) and Shenzhen City (2018-2024). Eligible participants were donors aged 18-65 years who had donated whole blood at least twice and met health eligibility criteria. The exposure was defined as a shorter donation interval (whole-blood interval≥3 months and<6 months) and was treated as a time-varying variable. The primary outcome was blood donation adverse reactions. Negative binomial regression with person-years as an offset was used to estimate incidence rate ratios for adverse reactions. Marginal standardization was used to estimate the adjusted incidence rate difference, and donor-level bootstrap resampling was used to estimate the 95% confidence interval of the adjusted incidence rate difference. Non-inferiority was assessed by comparing the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval with the prespecified non-inferiority margin of Δ=0.00 070 per person-year. In addition, Andersen-Gill models were used to analyze adverse reaction-free probability for recurrent events. Secondary outcomes were donation behavior, including annual repeat donation rate, annual donation frequency, mean donation interval, and annual whole-blood donation volume. These were analyzed using logistic regression, negative binomial regression, and linear regression models, respectively, with adjustment for age, sex, region, and donation site. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institute of Blood Transfusion, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Approval No.2025011) and registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2500114968). Results: A total of 375 075 repeat whole-blood donors were included, contributing 1 292 748 whole-blood donations. Among them, 119 993 had ever donated at a shorter interval and 255 082 had never done so. Over 1 281 842 person-years of follow-up in the dynamic cohort, 2 100 blood donation adverse reactions were recorded. The incidence rates of adverse reactions were 1.76 and 1.58 per 1 000 person-years in the ever-short interval and never-short interval groups, respectively. After adjustment for age, sex, province, and donation site, the ever-short interval group had a slightly higher adverse reaction rate than the never-short interval group (IRR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.15-1.41, P<0.001). Marginal standardization showed that the adjusted incidence rates were 1.73 and 2.21 per 1 000 person-years in the never-short interval and ever-short interval groups, respectively. The adjusted incidence rate difference was 0.000 48 per person-year, with a bootstrap 95%CI of 0.000 26-0.000 69 per person-year; the upper limit of the 95%CI was below the prespecified non-inferiority margin. Andersen-Gill recurrent-event analysis showed that the ever-short interval group had a higher probability of remaining adverse reaction-free. Analysis of donation behavior showed that among donors followed for at least 365 days, the ever-short interval group had a higher annual repeat donation rate than the never-short interval group (74.2% vs 18.3%; adjusted OR=12.5, 95%CI: 12.3-12.7, P<0.001). They also had a higher annual whole-blood donation rate (adjusted RR=1.98, 95%CI: 1.97-1.98, P<0.001), a shorter mean whole-blood donation interval (β=-239 days, 95%CI: -242 to -237 days, P<0.001), and a higher annual whole-blood donation volume (adjusted RR=2.14, 95%CI: 2.13-2.15, P<0.001). Conclusion: Based on real-world data from repeat whole-blood donors in Shenzhen and Hainan, lowering the minimum whole blood donation interval to 3 months did not show an absolute increase in blood donation adverse reactions exceeding the prespecified margin within the scope of this outcome. Shorter whole-blood donation interval behavior was also associated with greater repeat-donation activity, higher annual donation frequency, and higher annual whole-blood donation volume. Given the observational nature of this study and the lack of long-term donor health indicators such as iron status and longitudinal hemoglobin changes, the long-term safety of setting the minimum whole blood donation interval at 3 months requires further evaluation.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the prognosis and influencing factors of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to late stent thrombosis (LST) and very late stent thrombosis (VLST).
METHODS:
Patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI caused by LST and VLST at Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2016 to June 2021 were selected as the study subjects, and long-term follow-up was conducted. The baseline clinical features, laboratory examination indicators, echocardiography results, coronary angiography and intervention treatment characteristics, and antiplatelet treatment status of patients were collected. The study endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), including all-cause mortality, target vessel revascularization (TVR), myocardial infarction, and recurrent stent thrombosis (RST). Patients were divided into MACE group and non-MACE group based on the occurrence of MACE. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the univariate and multivariate predictive factors for MACE occurrence in STEMI patients caused by LST and VLST during long-term follow-up after PCI. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to analyze the cumulative survival rate without MACE during follow-up in subgroups of patients with different levels of fibrinogen (Fib) and initial number of stents. The incidence of MACE among patients receiving different drug-eluting stent (DES) treatments was compared.
RESULTS:
A total of 418 patients diagnosed STEMI caused by LST and VLST through coronary angiography were enrolled, of which 115 had MACE and 303 did not. Among them, 404 cases (96.65%) completed follow-up, with a median follow-up time of 27.25 (18.00, 37.00) months. Cox regression analysis showed that Fib [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.840, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.329-6.066, P = 0.007], non-culprit vascular stenosis > 50% (HR = 5.974, 95%CI was 1.634-21.848, P = 0.007), initial stent quantity (HR = 3.314, 95%CI was 1.677-6.552, P = 0.001), B2/C lesions (HR = 5.463, 95%CI was 1.396-21.373, P = 0.015), and cardiogenic shock (HR = 4.141, 95%CI was 1.101-15.568, P = 0.035) were independently associated with the occurrence of MACE. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the higher the Fib level, the lower the cumulative survival rate without MACE (82.8%, 70.1%, 40.5%, P < 0.01); the more initial stents, the lower the cumulative survival rate without MACE (75.0%, 57.7%, 36.5%), with patients with initial stents ≥ 3 having the lowest cumulative survival rate without MACE (P < 0.001). A total of 210 patients (50.2%) received secondary stent treatment, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE between patients receiving first and second generation DES treatment (27.3% vs. 24.7%, P > 0.05), but patients receiving first generation DES had a higher proportion of all-cause mortality (22.3% vs. 10.1%, P < 0.05). Compared with patients receiving smaller diameter DES treatment (< 2.75 mm), patients receiving larger diameter DES treatment (≥2.75 mm) had a significantly lower incidence of MACE (20.5% vs. 35.9%, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Long-term clinical outcomes after PCI for STEMI due to LST and VLST are unfavorable, with a high rate of MACE. The treatment of this particular type STEMI remains challenging, re-implantation of second generation DES or a larger diameter DES (≥2.75 mm) may be beneficial.

In order to make the shared traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pharmacy develop more efficiently and normatively at the grass-roots level, using the “shared TCM pharmacy” as the retrieval word, this paper uses the literature research method to retrieve the reports, documents and policies from CNKI, the websites of people’s governments at all levels, the official websites of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, people.com, China News Network, Xinhua News and other platforms before May 20, 2022, sort out the development mode and history of two “Internet plus” TCM pharmacies, namely “shared TCM pharmacies” and “smart TCM pharmacies”, and compare them with each other. Combined with the actual work of community hospitals and community service centers (stations), the necessity and advantages (such as reducing the costs of the intermediate links of drug circulation and standardizing the grass-roots drug use process) of the development of “shared TCM pharmacy” are obtained from the perspective of primary medical care. Combined with the current situation of the promotion and application of shared TCM pharmacy in county medical communities, it is concluded that the shared TCM pharmacy should be further constructed from four aspects: improving the work process of drug centralized procurement under the background of normalization, improving the compatibility and synchronization of the whole process dispensing information system module, unifying pharmaceutical services and personnel training, defining the authority of data query and clarifying the boundaries of patient privacy to further build a shared TCM pharmacy. Finally, it integrates information technology, summarizes the definition of shared TCM pharmacy and its future construction direction, and provides reference for the next development of shared TCM pharmacy at the grass-roots level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish an efficient and simple HPLC-MS/MS method for determination of flucloxacillin in newborn plasma, and to investigate the interaction between ambroxol and flucloxacillin in newborns. METHODS The samples were analyzed by API4000 HPLC-MS/MS. Ultimate XB-C18 column(2.1 mm×100 mm, 5 μm) were carried out. The mobile phase was composed of water-0.1% formic acid(A) and acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid(B). The quantitative analysis of the ion transitions were monitored at m/z 452.6→284.2 for flucloxacillin and m/z 821.4→397.3 for rifampicin(internal standard). RESULTS The linear range of flucloxacillin under this analysis method was 0.20-80 ng·mL-1, and the lower limit of quantification was 0.20 ng·mL-1; The intra-day and inter-day precision of flucloxacillin were both less than 8.23%; The extraction recovery was in the range of 85.3%-89.2%, and the matrix effect was between 89.3%-92.3%; The stability of plasma samples was good under conditions of 12 h at room temperature, 4 h at room temperature after treatment, repeated freeze-thaw for 3 times, and -20 ℃ freezing for 30 d. The results of clinical samples indicated that the combination of ambroxol could significantly increase the blood concentration of flucloxacillin. CONCLUSION The established HPLC-MS/MS method is accurate, sensitive and can be used for the determination of flucloxacillin concentration in neonatal plasma. The results of clinical samples indicate that ambroxol can significantly increase the blood concentration of flucloxacillin. There are drug interactions between ambroxol and flucloxacillin.

Objective:
To investigate the expression of IFIT2 (interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2) in human lung cancer tissue and analyze the relationship between the IFIT2 expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis.
Methods:
Tissue microarray and immunofluorescence staining were used to examine the IFIT2 expression in lung cancer tissue and their adjacent tissues. Wilcoxon rank test was used to compare the IFIT2 expression in lung cancer and corresponding adjacent tissues. The chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between the IFIT2 expression in lung cancer tissues and clinicopathological features of the patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between IFIT2 expression and patients′ overall survival. Cox model was used to analyze the correlation between different clinical parameters and prognosis.
Results:
There was significant difference for the IFIT2 expression between the lung cancer tissues and adjacent tissues (P<0.01). There was no significant correlation between IFIT2 expression and clinicopathological features of patients (P>0.05). In lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, Kaplan-Merier survival analysis showed that the overall survival (OS) of patients in IFIT2 low expression group was significantly shorter than that in IFIT2 high expression group (HR=2.392, 95%CI: 1.103-5.186, P=0.027; HR=2.907, 95%CI: 1.118-7.559, P=0.029, respectively). Multi-factor Cox model analysis indicated that distant metastasis (HR=8.033, 95% CI: 3.664-17.614, P=0.000) was independent prognostic factors for lung adenocarcinoma, lymph node metastasis (HR=3.390, 95% CI: 1.029-11.175, P=0.045) and IFIT2 low expression (HR=3.762,95%CI: 1.236-11.451, P=0.020) were independent prognostic factors for lung squamous cell carcinoma.
Conclusion
The down-regulated expression of IFIT2 in lung cancer tissues suggests that it may play an important role in initiation and development of lung cancer. It could be used as a valuable risk factor to predict the prognosis of lung cancer patients.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of IFN-γ on the expression of IL-33 in colon cancer CT26 cells.
Methods:
CT26 cells were treated with IFN-γ and IFN-γ combined with PKA inhibitor H89, respectively, and a negative control group (NC, untreated) was set up at the same time. The mRNA expression levels of PKA, CREB and IL-33 in CT26 cells were detected by qRT-PCR. The expression levels of PKA, CREB, p-CREB and IL-33 proteins in CT26 cells were determined by western blot. The localization of CREB protein in CT26 cells was analyzed by the immunofluorescence confocal microscopy.
Results:
The relative expression levels of PKA, CREB and IL-33 mRNA in the IFN-γ-treated group were 2.50±0.11, 3.10±0.08 and 2.80±0.22, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the NC group (P<0.05). The relative expression levels of PKA, CREB and IL-33 mRNA in the IFN-γ combined with H89 treatment group were 0.21±0.02, 0.59±0.05 and 0.35±0.04, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the NC group and IFN-γ-treated group (P<0.05). The expression levels of PKA, CREB and IL-33 proteins detected by western blot were consistent with that of mRNA. Immunofluorescence confocal results showed that the expression level of CREB in the IFN-γ-treated group was significantly higher than that in the NC group, and that the expression level of CREB in the IFN-γ combined with H89 treatment group was significantly lower than that in the IFN-γ-treated group.
Conclusion
IFN-γ may induce the expression of IL-33 in colon cancer CT26 cells via the PKA-CREB pathway.
