[Objective] To compare the efficacy and safety of deglycerolized red blood cells (DRBC) and suspended red blood cells (SRBC) based on the propensity score matching (PSM) method, so as to provide evidence for the rational use of DRBC resources in clinical practice. [Methods] A total of 89 patients who received DRBC transfusion and 2 916 patients who received SRBC transfusion in our hospital from January 2023 to September 2024 were included. A 1∶1 nearest neighbor PSM was used to balance covariates such as gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). The changes of hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC) count, hematocrit (HCT), and inflammatory markers such as white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil (NE) count, C-reactive protein (CRP), and Interleukin-6(IL-6) in the last 72 hours after transfusion were analyzed by SPSS 26.0 and R software to evaluate clinical efficacy and transfusion safety. [Results] The baseline of the two groups was balanced after PSM (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the DRBC group (80.9%) and the SRBC group (86.5%) (P>0.05). In the SRBC group, WBC (×10 /L) increased from 9.634±6.742 to 10.147±6.835, CRP (mg/dL) increased from 5.468±4.647 to 6.174±6.114, and IL-6(pg/mL) decreased from 213.733±587.191 to 157.255±552.626. In the DRBC group, WBC (×10 /L) decreased from 11.123±7.880 to 11.011±8.549, CRP (mg/dL) decreased from 5.729±4.761 to 5.326±4.466, and IL-6(pg/mL) decreased from 238.806±639.060 to 152.255±266.558. Compared with the before treatment, the differences between the SRBC group and DRBC group were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Among all patients included in the statistics, the overall incidence of transfusion adverse reactions was 0.205% (6/2 916) in the SRBC group, and no adverse reactions occurred in the DRBC group. The incidence in the SRBC group was higher than that in the DRBC group. [Conclusion] Based on PSM analysis, there was no significant difference in the efficacy and safety of DRBC transfusion compared with SRBC transfusion, which can provide evidence-based support for routine application.

[Objective] To explore the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou, and to investigate the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. [Methods] A cross-sectional study was conducted among 13 042 whole blood donors from 17 street blood donation sites of Guangzhou Blood Center from May to August 2020. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou. Ordinal multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. [Results] It was found that some of 13 042 blood donors had unhealthy habits, such as 6.8% (698/10 214，2 828 missing values) had severe tobacco dependence, 30.6% (3 997/13 042) had low exercise levels, 38.8%（5 056/13 042）had poor sleep quality, and 2.2% (271/12 159，883 missing values) had alcohol dependence. In addition, 2.8% (364/13 042) and 1.3% (172/13 042) of the donors may have moderate to severe depression and anxiety symptoms, respectively. The results of the ordinal multinomial logistic regression model showed that exercise level was significantly negatively correlated with the degree of depression and anxiety among blood donors. With the decrease in exercise level, the possibility of depression and anxiety among donors increased significantly. BMI, household income, education level, marital status, donation frequency, alcohol consumption and smoking had no significant correlation with the mental health status of donors. [Conclusion] Improving the exercise habits of blood donors may help enhance their mental health level. It is recommended that blood station staff strengthen the content of exercise when providing health education to blood donors to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It also suggests that there may be a certain degree of under-diagnosis of mental health problems in the process of health consultation before blood donation, and conducting more comprehensive and effective mental health assessments for blood donors is recommended.

Objective To explore the difference of serum inflammatory factors in patients with first episode schizo-phrenia,patients with relapse episode schizophrenia and healthy people,and the correlation between serum inflam-matory factors with negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia,so as to provide reference for clinical inter-vention.Methods A total of 86 patients with first episode schizophrenia(first episode group),80 patients with re-lapse episode schizophrenia(relapse episode group)and 82 healthy people(control group)were included in the study.The difference of serum inflammatory factors among the three groups and the correlation between serum inflammatory factors with negative symptoms were analyzed.Results There were significant differences in serum interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-16 levels among the three groups(P<0.05).The analysis and comparison between the two groups showed that the serum IL-1β in first episode group was significantly higher than that in relapse episode group and control group(P<0.05),serum IL-16 in first episode group and relapse episode group was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05).Serum IL-1β was negatively correlated with PANSS general psycho-pathological scale factor score in first episode group(P<0.05),and serum IL-16 was positively correlated with PANSS negative symptom scale factor score in relapse episode group(P<0.05).IL-16 level might be an inde-pendent risk factor affecting the onset of first episode group and relapse episode group(P<0.05).Conclusion There are differences in serum levels of IL-1β and IL-16 between patients with schizophrenia and healthy people.Serum IL-16 levels in patients with relapse episode schizophrenia are associated with negative symptoms.IL-16 lev-el may be an independent risk factor for schizophrenia.

Objective To investigate the effect of spleen on hepatic macrophages mediated activation of hepatic stellate cells(HSCs)in mice with liver fibrosis.Methods Eighteen male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups.Mice in Group A and Group B were injected intraperitoneally with CCl4 to establish liver fibrosis mouse model,while those in Group C were injected with corn oil as normal control.Four weeks later,mice with liver fibrosis received splenectomy(Spx)or sham operation(Sham),respectively.After continuous injection for 2 weeks,liver homogenates(L-Homo)were prepared and liver cells were isolated from the three groups.Expressions of IL-1β,IL-13,TGF-β,TNF-α,PDGF-β and VEGF in the liver homogenates of the three groups were detected by Luminex multifactor analysis.The expressions of these cytokines in liver macrophages(L-Mψ)and other non-parenchymal cells of Sham and Spx mice were analyzed by Real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and flow cytometry.Macrophage cell line RAW264.7 or bone marrow-derived macrophages(BMDMs)were treated with liver homogenates from the Sham and Spx groups.Then the differently treated RAW264.7 cells were analyzed for mRNA expressions of cytokines and glutamine metabolism-related molecules by RT-qPCR,or transwell co-cultured with hepatic stellate cell line JS1.After co-culture,the survival and extracellular matrix expression of JS1 cells were analyzed.For comparison,Student's t test(between two groups)or one-way analysis of variance(among multiple groups)were used.Results Compared with normal control group,the concentrations of IL-1β,IL-13,TGF-β and TNF-α in the L-Homo of model group were significantly increased and showed higher levels in Sham group than in Spx group.Moreover,the hepatic macrophages were indicated as the major source of these cytokines.Consistently,macrophages treated with liver homogenate of Sham mice had increased expressions of IL-1β,TGF-β and TNF-α and glutaminase(GLS).After co-culture with macrophages treated with liver homogenate of Sham group rather than Spx group,JS1 expressed higher expressions of α-SMA and collagens.Conclusion The spleen is involved in regulating the secretion of cytokines by hepatic macrophages and enhancing their ability to activate hepatic stellate cells.

From the Confucian perspective,different roles have different ethical considerations for physician-assisted suicide(PAS).From the perspective of patients,Confucianism does not support suicide as a right.For family members,Confucianism does not believe that PAS is more conducive to maintaining the dignity of patients.From a doctor's perspective,supporting PAS not only goes against the original intention of medicine,but may also lead to serious social consequences.In conclusion,Confucianism generally tends to adopt a negative attitude towards PAS.

Objective:To investigate the value of CT features in predicting the invasion and degree of invasiveness of lung pure ground-glass nodules (pGGN) in the new histological classification in 2021.Methods:A total of 281 patients (304 lesions) with pGGN confirmed by surgical pathology from December 2018 to January 2021 in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological types, the patients were divided into prodromal lesion group [atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), 129 cases], minimally invasive group [minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), 116 cases] and invasive group [invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC), 59 cases]. Clinical data (age, gender, smoking history, family history of cancer), and CT parameters [shape, boundary, lobulation, burr, vacuolar sign, bronchial abnormality sign, internal vessel sign, pleural traction sign, longest diameter, shortest diameter, unenhanced CT value, contrast-enhanced CT value in arterial phase, contrast-enhanced CT values in venous phase, the degree of enhancement (ΔCT A-N, ΔCT V-N)] were recorded and measured. The ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis H and χ 2 test were used to compare the differences among the three groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the independent risk factors of nodular invasion [prodromal lesion and invasive lesion (MIA and IAC)] and the degree of nodular invasion (MIA and IAC), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed for each parameter. Results:There were statistically significant differences in age, pGGN morphology, lobulation, vacuolar sign, bronchial abnormality sign, internal vascular sign, pleural traction sign, longest diameter, shortest diameter, unenhanced CT value, contrast-enhanced CT value in arterial phase, contrast-enhanced CT value in venous phase among the precursor lesion group, minimally invasive group and invasive group ( P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that vacuole sign (OR=2.832, 95%CI 1.363-5.887, P=0.005), internal vascular sign (OR=3.021, 95%CI 1.909-4.779, P<0.001) and unenhanced CT value (OR=1.003, 95%CI 1.001-1.006, P=0.019) were independent risk factors for invasion. Lobulation (OR=5.739, 95%CI 2.735-12.042, P<0.001), internal vascular sign (OR=1.968, 95%CI 1.128-3.433, P=0.017) and unenhanced CT value (OR=1.004, 95%CI 1.001-1.008, P=0.012) were independent risk factors for the degree of invasiveness. ROC curve analysis showed that the efficiency of internal vascular sign was the highest in distinguishing precursor lesion and the invasive, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.757, the sensitivity was 50.3%, the specificity was 89.8%. The efficiency of lobulation was the highest in distinguishing MIA and IAC (AUC=0.702), with a sensitivity of 61.0% and specificity of 79.3%. Conclusions:CT features are of certain value in predicting the invasion and degree of invasiveness of lung pGGN in the new histological classification in 2021, and internal vascular sign is more effective in predicting the invasion of lung pGGN. Lobulation can predict the degree of invasiveness of pGGN better.
