[Objective] To investigate the implementation of emergency transfusion strategy of uncrossmatched type O suspended RBCs based on the single-center clinical practice, which is "emergency transfusion is initiated by the authorized doctor of the emergency department, and no more than 4 U of type O uncrossmatched suspended RBCs are issued within 15 minutes in the transfusion department"(referred as the Practice), so as to provide reference for blood management. [Methods] A retrospective analysis of the information of patients who received uncrossmatched type O suspended RBCs in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from August 2019 to April 2024 was conducted. The analysis included reasons for emergency blood transfusion, time of receiving transfusion application and blood distribution, total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase before and after transfusion, blood group of patients, and disease outcome. [Results] From August 2019 to April 2024, 39 cases applied for emergency transfusion of type O suspended RBCs, and a total of 90 U uncrossmatched suspended RBCs were transfused. All patients were Rh(D) positive, including 14 cases of blood group A, 6 cases of blood group B, 16 cases of blood group O, 2 cases of blood group AB, one case of undetermined blood group, and 2 cases with positive antibody screening. The main cause of emergency transfusion of type O suspended RBCs was traffic accident, accounting for 46% (18/39), with a mortality rate at 51.28% (20/39). The cause of death was primary injury, and no adverse reactions were reported. There was no significant difference in total bilirubin (TBIL), indirect bilirubin (IBIL) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) before and after blood transfusion (P>0.05). The median duration from admission to receiving transfusion application was 30.20 minutes, and 5.30 minutes from receipt of the application to blood distribution. [Conclusion] The single-center based Practice is safe, but there is room for optimization before the link of blood transfusion application sent to the transfusion department when applying for emergency transfusion of type O suspended RBCs.

To investigate the expression of mRNA in esophageal cancer (ESCA) tissues and its potential and diagnostic and prognostic value by high-throughput sequencing data. Using the Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) database in USA by integrative bioinformatics analysis methods, the gene expression profiles and clinical data of 173 patients with ECSA were collected. The mRNA expression levels in ESCA tissue and para-cancerous tissue samples were analyzed using DESeq2, edgeR and limma to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). DEGs-related protein network diagrams were drawn. GO and KEGG function enrichment analysis were performed and the hub genes were screened and the survival analysis of hub genes was analyzed. Genes related to the prognosis of ESCA were selected and their prognostic value in ESCA was analyzed. Finally, the receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to evaluate its diagnostic value. The results showed that using TCGA cancer data, a total of 620 up-regulated DEGs and 668 down-regulated DEGs with significant differential expression between ESCA and para-cancerous tissues were screened. DEGs were mainly involved in receptor complexes, ubiquitin ligase complexes, etc., playing GTPase activity, phospholipid binding, and other molecular functions, and participating in the regulation of intracellular substance transport, small molecule metabolism, and other biological processes. Protein functional enrichment analysis showed that these proteins were mainly enriched in the IL-17 signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, Epstein-Barr virus infection, neutrophil extracellular trap formation, and other pathways involved in the formation and development process of ESCA. Survival analysis showed that the overall survival rate of ESCA patients with high expression of KIF4A, RAD51AP1, and CDKN3 was significantly shortened, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Furthermore, the areas under the curve (AUC) of KIF4A, RAD51AP1, and CDKN3 for diagnosing esophageal cancer were 0.956, 0.951 and 0.979, respectively, with sensitivities and specificities both exceeding 80%. Additionally, ROC results of the combined diagnostic model of these three genes showed an AUC of 0.979, with sensitivities and specificities of 0.914 and 1, respectively. This indicates that KIF4A, RAD51AP1 and CDKN3 have individual or combined auxiliary diagnostic value for ESCA. In conclusion, KIF4A, RAD51AP1 and CDKN3 have high diagnostic efficiency for ESCA, and their increased expression is closely related to the prognosis, suggesting that these three genes could be used as auxiliary diagnostic and prognostic factors for ESCA.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between macular cherry red spot (CS) and severity of neurological manifestations in Chinese children with sialidosis (SD) type I.Methods:A evidence-based medical study. "China", "Sialidosis" and "Sialidoses" were used as Chinese and English search terms. The literature was searched in CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed. The cases were all from China and matched the diagnostic criteria. According to the presence or absence of CS in the fundus, the SD children were divided into a group with CS (+) and a group without CS (-), and the correlation between the occurrence of ocular CS and neurological manifestations was compared with meta-analysis by RevMan 5.3 software.Results:Sixty-eight studies were initially retrieved according to the search strategy, and 17 studies were finally included, and 5 studies with CS+ and CS- were meta-analyzed. Among the 43 patients, 28 were male and 15 were female, with a median age of 12 years. Visual impairment was observed in 37 cases (90.2%, 37/41, 2 cases not recorded), and CS was present in 24 cases (55.8%, 24/43). The most common neurological manifestation was myoclonus (97.7%, 42/43), followed by cerebellar ataxia (95.1%, 39/41, 2 cases not recorded) and seizures (91.4%, 32/35, 8 cases not recorded). Pathogenic NEU1 gene mutations were detected in 42 cases and one case was undocumented. The incidence of seizure in group CS+ (100%, 20/20) was higher than that in group CS- (80%, 12/15). Meta-analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the incidence of myoclonus or ataxia [relative risk ( RR)=1.13, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.79-1.63, P=0.49] and seizure ( RR=1.13, 95% CI 0.84-2.06, P=0.24) among the children in the CS+ and CS- groups. Conclusions:The incidence of ocular CS in Chinese children with type I SD was 55.8%. There was no correlation with neurological manifestations, however the incidence of seizure was significantly higher in patients with CS than in others without CS.

ObjectiveThe mechanisms underlying therapeutic efficacies of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster was analyzed based on "effect-target" associations. MethodBased on CNKI and PubMed databases, the chemical components of Artemisia seed, bastard speedwell, and menthol in Detumescence Analgesic Plaster were collected. The capacity of transdermal absorption was predicted based on the Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ETCM 2.0). Golden Triangle of compounds with Accepted used for candidate target prediction based on the Integrative Pharmacology-based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCMIP v2.0)according to the similarity of chemical structures. At the same time, the SoFDA data platform was employed to collect the symptoms related to the efficacy of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster and its related genes information. In addition, based on the interaction between the above-mentioned candidate targets and their efficacy-related genes, the "effect-target" interaction network of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster was constructed. The key targets by topological features calculation, and functional mining was carried out to explain the efficacy mechanism of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster. ResultA total of 165 candidate targets were obtained based on ETCM 2.0 and TCMIP v2.0 databases, and symptoms related to the efficacy of clearing heat, detumescence, and relieving pain, as well as 1 744 related genes were collected based on the SoFDA database. Network construction and analysis showed that the core effect targets of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster were mainly involved in regulating the "immune-inflammation" balance of the body and maintaining the homeostasis of material and energy metabolism, blood circulation, and nervous system functions, and they were closely related to the efficacy of this prescription in clearing heat, reducing detumescence, and relieving pain. Among them, the heat clearing group of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster had the functions of heat clearing, detoxifying, antibacteria, and anti-inflammation. The biological function of its key effect target group was related to correcting the imbalance of "immune-inflammation" induced by pathogens. The detumescence group of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster had the functions of reducing water and swelling and resolving hard lumps, and the biological function of its core effect target group was related to improving microcirculation disturbance. The pain relieving group of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster had the functions of removing stasis, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain, and its core effect target group was related to correcting the nervous system and the disorder of material and energy metabolism. ConclusionThe heat clearing, swelling reducing, and pain relieving effects of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster may be closely related to its act on related candidate targets, so as to correct the imbalance of "nerve-immunity-vascular-axis", regulate neuronal excitability and inflammatory response, and intervene in material and energy metabolism. The relevant research results lay a theoretical foundation for clarifying the advantages of Detumescence Analgesic Plaster and assisting its clinical precise positioning.
