Objective: To evaluate the practical effectiveness of confidential unit exclusion (CUE) in ensuring blood safety in Zhengzhou, analyze its application characteristics and existing problems, and provide a basis for optimizing blood safety management strategies. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on CUE data handled by Henan Red Cross Blood Center from January 2019 to December 2024. Parameters such as the number of cases, demographic characteristics, reasons for exclusion, and time of report were statistically analyzed and compared with those of non-CUE. Results: From 2019 to 2024, the CUE reporting rate in Zhengzhou was 0.002 6% (40/1 547 666). CUE donors were predominantly male (65.00%, 26/40), aged 18-34 years (47.50%, 19/40), had college degree orabove (50.00%, 20/40), and were employees of enterprises or public institutions (32.50%, 13/40). Among the 40 CUE blood units, only one was reactive for anti-TP, while all others were qualified. The main reasons for CUE were recent vaccination (32.50%, 13/40), medical conditions unsuitable for donation (27.50%, 11/40), and high-risk sexual behavior (17.50%, 7/40). A total of 70.00% of reports occurred within 24 hours after donation, during which none of the corresponding blood units had been released; all units reported after more than 7 days had already been issued for clinical use, with no adverse transfusion reactions reported upon follow-up. Conclusion: The confidential unit exclusion program has played an active role in establishing a supplementary information feedback channel for blood donors. The procedure can be optimized by strengthening interactive communication and confirmation before donation, improving the accuracy of donors' self-assessment, and expanding convenient and rapid information-based reporting channels.

Gastric cancer remains one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies of the digestive tract worldwide,underscoring the urgent need for more effective targeted therapeutic strategies.Poly(ADP-ri-bose)polymerase(PARP)inhibitors have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in tumors with homologous recombination repair(HRR)deficiency;however,their clinical application in gastric cancer remains limited.Clinical evidence suggests that patients harboring Helicobacter pylori infection in combination with HRR gene mutations exhibit a significantly elevated risk of developing gastric cancer,thereby supporting the potential benefit of PARP inhibition in this setting.In this study,a kinase inhibitor library was screened in combination with the PARP inhibitor olaparib in gastric cancer cells.And we identify the cy-clin-dependent kinase 8/19(CDK8/19)inhibitor Senexin A as a compound that synergistically enhances the cytotoxic effect of PARP inhibition(P<0.05).Phenotypic validation using CCK-8 and colony for-mation assays demonstrated that the combination treatment significantly suppressed cellular proliferation and clonogenic potential compared to either monotherapy(P<0.0001).Mechanistically,alkaline comet assays revealed a significant increase in DNA damage in the combination treatment group relative to either single-agent group(P<0.0001),suggesting that the synergistic effect results from the exacerbation of DNA damage via impaired DNA repair mechanisms.In addition,treatment with CDK8/19 inhibitors a-lone markedly increased the formation of γH2AX and 53BP1 foci in irradiated gastric cancer cells(P<0.0001),indicating inhibition of DNA damage repair pathways.Transcriptome sequencing further re-vealed that CDK8/19 inhibition impacts critical cellular pathways,including DNA repair,cell cycle reg-ulation,and RNA splicing.Co-immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that inhibition of CDK8/19 kinase activity significantly reduces the phosphorylation level of PARP1,suggesting a potential regulatory inter-action.Immunohistochemical analysis of tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues from gastric cancer pa-tients demonstrated that CDK8 is significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues,supporting its potential as both a prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target.Collectively,this study elucidates a mechanistic ba-sis by which CDK8/19 inhibition enhances the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to PARP inhibitors.These findings provide a strong rationale for the combined use of CDK8/19 and PARP inhibitors as a tar-geted therapeutic strategy and offer promising translational implications for advancing personalized medi-cine in gastric cancer treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the application effectiveness of a training program for a nutritional support training base from the perspective of clinical nurses, and to provide a reference for optimizing and improving the training program.Methods:In October 2022, a clinical training program for nutritional support nurses was established based on the core competencies. The clinical training program was carried out from July to September 2023. The trainees who completed the training course were invited to participate in qualitative interviews to evaluate the course. The interview content was recorded, transcribed, and encoded using NVivo 11.0 software. The data were sorted and analyzed using thematic framework analysis.Results:Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 10 clinical nurses until data saturation was achieved. Three general themes and 10 sub-themes were extracted, including overall evaluation of the training course (rich, comprehensive, and reasonable training content; professional and skilled teaching team), changes brought by the course (improvement of clinical work confidence, strengthening of peer learning, enhancement of the initiative of independent learning, and identification of the factors that hinder the development of specialty), and recommendations for the course (the diversity of teaching forms, reasonable arrangement of practical training departments, increase in operational practice opportunities, establishment of online courses).Conclusions:The students had high overall evaluation on the training course of the nutritional support base. Based on their suggestions, the course can be optimized in the future by diversifying the teaching forms, rationally arranging the practical training departments, strengthening operational practices, and constructing online courses.

Objective:To investigate the effects of wheat-grain moxibustion at the Guanyuan point on testosterone(T)synthe-sis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal(HPG)axis in naturally aged mice.Methods:We fed 40 twelve-month-old SPF male C57BL/6J mice with a normal diet for 3 months,randomized them into a moxibustion and an aged group of an equal number,and se-lected 7 four-month-old ones as young controls.We treated the animals of the moxibustion group by wheat-grain moxibustion at the Guanyuan point,once 5 moxibustion sticks,qd,5 times a week,and fed those of the aged group normally,all for 12 weeks.After treatment,we obtained the testicular index of the mice,observed the histomorphology of the testis tissue by HE staining,measured the contents of T in the testis,gonadotropin-releasing hormone(GnRH)in the hypothalamus and total T(tT),free T(fT),luteinizing hormone(LH)and follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)in the serum by ELISA,and determined the expressions of silence information regulator-1(SIRT1),P53,glutathione peroxidase(GPX4)and cholesterol side-chain?cleavage enzym e(CYP11A1)in the testis by Western blot.Results:Compared with the young controls,the mice in the aged group showed obviously losing and dull hair,energy declination,loose structure of the spermatogenic tubule with different degrees of cell loss and rupture,reduced testicular index,and ev-ident aging phenotype.In comparison with the aged mice,the animals of the moxibustion group were fairly energetic and exhibited dis-tinct structure of the spermatogenic tubules,orderly arranged and highly differentiated cells at all levels,significantly increased T lev-el,up-regulated expressions of SIRT1,GPX4 and CYP11 A1,and down-regulated expression of P53 in testis tissue,and elevated levels of GnRH,FSH,LH,tT and fT in the HPG axis.Conclusion:Wheat-grain moxibustion at the Guanyuan point protects testosterone synthesis in the testis tissue of naturally aged mice,promotes negative feedback regulation of the HPG axis,and improves low testoster-one.

Objective:To investigate changes of CD4+T/CD8+T ratio in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)at different ages and to predict outcome.Methods:A total of 150 children aged 1～12 with MPP admitted to The Second People's Hospital of Hefei from March 2021 to September 2023 were selected as study group,and were divided into improved group(n=112)and deteriorated group(n=38)according to clinical outcomes after treatment.According to age,patients were divided into in-fant group(≤3 years old)38 cases,preschool group(4～6 years old)57 cases,school age group(>6 years old)55 cases.General information,biochemical test indicators and other related data were collected,CD4+T/CD8+T was calculated,and statistical analysis was performed by SPSS23.0 software.Through univariate and multifactor Logistics regression analysis,changes of CD4+T/CD8+T and other indicators in MPP children of different ages were compared,and independent factors affecting outcome of MPP children were screened.ROC curve was used to analyze efficacy of selected independent influencing factors in predicting outcome of MPP children of different ages.Log-binomial model was used to analyze risk effect of age on CD4+T/CD8+T and different outcomes in MPP children.Dose-response relationship between CD4+T/CD8+T and risk of disease progression in MPP children was analyzed by Logistic regression model combined with restricted cubic spline(RCS)model.P<0.05 was statistically significant.Results:CRP,IgA,IgG,IgM and CD8+T were the highest in infant group,followed by preschool group,the lowest in school-age group(P<0.05),CD4+T and CD4+T/CD8+T were the lowest in infant group,followed by preschool group,and the highest in school-age group(P<0.05).MPP children with≤3 years old accounted for the lowest proportion of improvement(18.76%)and the worst improvement,followed by MPP children with 4～6 years old,MPP children with>6 years old accounted for the highest proportion of improvement(43.75%),and the best im-provement(P<0.001).Improvement of children with disease course≤7 days was significantly better than disease course>7 days(P<0.001).CRP,DD,ESR,LDH,IgA,IgG,IgM and CD8+T levels in children with MPP deterioration were significantly higher than children with MPP improvement(P<0.001),and CD4+T and CD4+T/CD8+T levels were significantly lower than children with MPP im-provement(P<0.001).Multi-factor Logistics regression analysis showed that age,IgA,IgG,IgM and CD4+T/CD8+T were independent influencing factors for outcome of MPP children(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that when cut-off value was 1.50,AUC of CD4+T/CD8+T to predict outcome of MPP children was 0.86(95%CI:0.75～0.94),sensitivity and specificity were 83.76%and 84.60%,respectively.Log-binomial model showed that MPP children with CD4+T/CD8+T≤1.50%had the highest risk of worsening out-come.Risk scores before and after adjustment were 2.05(1.41～3.75),2.07(1.46～3.88)and 2.14(1.50～4.02)times of those in im-provement group.School-age children with CD4+T/CD8+T>1.50%had the lowest risk of worsening,and risk before and after adjust-ment was 1.07(1.00～1.87),1.13(1.04～1.98),1.18(1.07～2.01)times higher than improved group.RCS model analysis of relation-ship between CD4+T/CD8+T and different outcomes in MPP children showed that regardless of whether confounders were adjusted,CD4+T/CD8+T was negatively correlated with outcome of MPP children.Conclusion:CD4+T/CD8+T in MPP children of different ages is significantly different.CD4+T/CD8+T is the lowest in infant group,followed by preschool group,and the highest in school-age group.CD4+T/CD8+T in children with worsening MPP is significantly lower than improved MPP,and CD4+T/CD8+T is negatively correlated with outcome of MPP children,which has certain value in predicting outcome of MPP children.

Bovine rotavirus(BRV)is an important pathogen causing diarrhea in calves.To understand the genomic charac-teristics and genetic variations in bovine rotavirus,and to further enrich data on the biological characteristics of rotavirus,we aimed to amplify 11 gene segments of the isolated and cultured G6P[1]bovine rotavirus BLL strain,perform whole genome se-quencing,and analyze the molecular characteristics.MEGA7.0 and DNAMAN software were used for homology and typing a-nalysis,and the whole genome phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze genetic evolution relationships.The complete geno-type of the BLL strain was G6-P[1]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3.Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 and VP4 genes of the BLL strain showed that the VP7 gene had the highest homology with RVA/Cow-wt/HB01/China/2021,and the VP4 gene of the BLL strain was in the same branch as RVA/Human-tc/ISR/Ro8059/1995.From the sequence alignment of VP8*amino acids,the sialic acid domain of the BLL strain was found to be similar to that in other P[1]strains,but different from those in other types of strains,except for residue 189,which was the same as that in Ro8059 but different from that in other strains.The results suggested that the BLL strain might potentially infect humans.Therefore,continued monitoring and study of the biological characteristics of this strain are necessary to provide more information and evidence supporting further research on the cross-species transmission of group A rotavirus in China.

Ovarian cancer,as one of the three major malignant tumors in gynecology,has a relatively high mortality rate.Traditional adjuvant chemotherapy has failed to significantly improve the survival rate of patients in the advanced stage due to its high drug resistance.Therefore,new treatment methods are urgently needed to improve the survival rate of patients.Cuproposis is a newly proposed form of cell death,which is caused by the accumulation of lipoylated protein and the loss of Fe-S cluster protein by copper overload,and it is expected to be a new treatment method for ovarian cancer to improve the prognosis of patients.Previous studies have shown that cuproptosis related genes are differentially expressed in ovarian cancer,which can guide personalized immunotherapy and participate in chemotherapy resistance.This article will review the correlation between the mechanisms related to cuproptosis and ovarian cancer,and explore whether it can provide new ideas for the treatment of ovarian cancer in the future.

Objective:To select low-dose radiation-activated genes with intrinsic radiation protection by developing a model for adaptive responses to low-dose ionizing radiation, in order to explore the mechanisms behind the radiation resistance of the candidate genes.Methods:The cells were divided into adaptive response induction group and whole transcriptome sequencing group. The level of DNA damage was assessed using the γ-H2AX immunofluorescence assay. The low-dose radiation-activated candidate genes with radiation protection were selected through whole transcriptome sequencing and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR)-based validation. The anti-radiation effect of candidate gene CCND1 was assessed based on CCK-8 cell proliferation and γ-H2AX immunofluorescence assay. After up- and down-regulation of CCND1 expression, the anti-radiation mechanism of CCND1 was preliminarily explored through transcriptome sequencing analysis.Results:A model for low-dose ionizing radiation-induced adaptive responses of lymphocytes was constructed. Using this model, six candidate genes with radiation protection, including CCND1, ZMAT3, MGAT3, DFFB, CYP4F2, ITGA6, were selected. Compared to the control group, overexpressed CCND1 led to significantly enhanced proliferation ability of AHH-1 cells ( t = 7.92-14.76, P < 0.05) and distinctly lowered level of DNA damage ( t = 2.79-9.68, P < 0.05) after 2 Gy of X-ray irradiation. Furthermore, compared to the control group, the CCND1 knockdown caused significantly decreased cell proliferation ability ( t = 13.58-26.25, P < 0.05) and notably elevated level of DNA damage of cells ( t = 2.87-7.61, P < 0.05). Transcriptome sequencing revealed that up- and down-regulation of CCND1 expression resulted in the activation of pathways related to cell growth, death, and damage repair. Conclusions:By selecting six low-dose-activated candidate genes with radiation protection and revealing the function of CCND1 in radiation protection, this study provides a new perspective for the development of radiation protection agents from the perspective of adaptive responses to low-dose radiation.
