Objective: To analyze the causes of abnormal blood agglutination caused by high-titer cold antibodies in blood donors from a serological perspective. Methods: The donor's blood type was identified using the tube method. Direct antiglobulin test (DAT), indirect antiglobulin test (IAT), and antibody titer detection were performed on the samples. Results: The blood type of the donor was type B, and the DAT was negative. No complement components were detected on the surface of the donor's red blood cells. The supernatant of the suspended red blood cells was clear without abnormal coloration, and the agglutinated clumps were intact and difficult to dissociate. The antibody was identified as an IgM-type anti-IH cold agglutinin. At 4℃, this antibody reacted with autologous red blood cells, adult group B red blood cells, adult group O red blood cells, cord blood group B red blood cells and cord blood group O red blood cells, with a stronger reaction intensity observed with group O cells than with B cells. The titers were 512, 128, 256, 32 and 128, respectively. Conclusion: High-titer anti-IH can cause abnormal agglutination of blood at low temperatures. During blood distribution and clinical use, the appearance of blood products shall be strictly inspected to prevent the release of non-conforming blood products.

Objective To explore the effect of hypoxic exercise on Irisin secretion of obese rats with a palmitic acid-induced lipid accumulation in L6 myotubes and a high-fat diet-induced model.Methods L6 myotubes were treated with 750 μmol/L palmitic acid to induce lipid accumulation and subsequently divided into four groups of normoxia(N),exercise(E),hypoxia(H),and hypoxic exer-cise(HE).Hypoxic conditions(1%O2)were used to simulate a low-oxygen environment,while AICAR stimulation was applied to the E and HE groups to mimic exercise.Eighty 3-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a high-fat diet for 16 weeks to establish an obesity model.Fifty obese rats that met the criteria were then selected and randomly assigned according to their body weight into five groups of normoxia-sedentary(NC),normoxia-exercise(NE),hypoxia-sedentary(HC),high-liv-ing high-training(HH),and low-living high-training(LH),each of 10.The hypoxic environment was set at 13.6%O2(simulating 3,500 m altitude).Then the NE,HH and LH groups performed daily one-hour treadmill training(NE:20 m/min;HH and LH:16 m/min),5 days/week for 4 weeks.After the intervention,the body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA),while Irisin concentrations in cell culture media and rat serum were determined by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Moreover,fibronectin type Ⅲ domain-containing 5(FNDC5)mRNA expression in L6 cells and rat skeletal muscle was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR),while FNDC5 and silent information regulator 1-peroxisome proliferators-activated re-ceptor γ coactivator lalpha(SIRT1-PGC-1α)pathway proteins were analyzed using Western blotting.Results(1)Cell experiments:①Compared with the N group,there were significantly higher Irisin lev-els in the culture medium of the E,H,and HE groups(P<0.01,P<0.05),as well as elevated FNDC5 mRNA and protein expression in the E and HE groups(P<0.05,P<0.01).Moreover,the Iri-sin concentration and FNDC5 protein levels of group HE were significantly higher than group E(P<0.05).②Compared with group N,significantly increased SIRT1 and PGC-1α protein expression was observed in groups E and HE(P<0.05,P<0.01).(2)Animal experiments:①Compared with the NC group,body weight and fat mass were significantly lower in the NE,LH,and HH groups(P<0.01),with further reductions observed in the HH group compared with the NE group(P<0.05).② Com-pared with group NC,groups NE,LH,and HH exhibited higher serum Irisin levels and increased FNDC5 mRNA and protein expression in skeletal muscle(P<0.05,P<0.01).Furthermore,FNDC5 pro-tein expression of the HH group was significantly higher than the NE group(P<0.05).③ Compared with the NC group,SIRT1 and PGC-1α protein levels were significantly upregulated in the NE,LH,and HH groups(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Hypoxic exercise effectively alleviates obesity,reduces body weight and fat accumulation in high-fat diet-induced obese rats,and enhances FNDC5 expres-sion and Irisin secretion,which may be mediated through activation of the SIRT1-PGC-1α signaling pathway.Moreover,among the different hypoxic exercise modalities,the"high-living high-training"protocol appears to have greater benefits in promoting FNDC5/Irisin expression and facilitating weight and fat reduction in obese rats.

Objective:To design two kinds of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans with different radiation field distributions,and to compare the dose differences of that at the dose of target region and organs at risk (OAR) for middle and lower esophageal cancer,so as to provide a reference for the design of IMRT plan. Methods:The data of 17 patients with middle and lower esophageal cancer who received IMRT at Shangluo Central Hospital from November 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. IMRT plans with different radiation fields for Plan 1 and Plan 2 were designed for each patient. The angles of radiation field for Plan 1 were 0°,80°,120°,160° and 200°,and those for Plan 2 were 30°,130°,180°,230° and 330°,respectively. The prescribed dose to the planning target volume (PTV) was 60 Gy/30 F. The differences in dosimetric parameters between the two plans were compared. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the dose parameters of 2％,98％,50％ target dose (D2％,D98％,D50％),homogeneity index (HI),conformity index (CI) and monitor unit between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in V5 of dual lungs,the mean dose (Dmean) of heart,and the maximum dose (Dmax) of spinal-cord between two groups (P>0.05). The volume percentage (V10,V20,V30) of dual lungs received radiation doses of 10,20 and 30 Gy,and the mean dose (Vmean) of lung in the Plan1 group reduced respectively 7.44％,21.16％,10.09％ and 5.31％ than those in the Plan2 group,and the differences of them were statistically significant (t=-5.845,-7.729,-2.247,-3.960,P<0.05). Heart V10 and V20 in the Plan1 group decreased respectively by 7.23％ and 5.78％,with statistical significance (t=-4.376,-3.523,P<0.01),while V30 and V40 of Plan 1 increased respectively by 2.7％ and 4.92％,without statistical significance (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in heart Dmean between the Plan1 group and the Plan2 group (P>0.05). Conclusion:Both two methods of distribution field can meet the clinical requirements,and Plan1 has more advantages in protecting organs at risk under the premise of meeting the requirements of target region.

Objective: Whether elevation in plasma levels of amyloid and tau protein biomarkers are better indicators of cognitive decline than higher baseline levels in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains understudied. Methods: We included 67 participants with twice testing for AD-related plasma biomarkers via immunomagnetic reduction (IMR) assays (amyloid beta [Aβ]1-40, Aβ1-42, total tau [t-Tau], phosphorylated tau [p-Tau] 181, and alpha-synuclein [α-Syn]) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) over a 1-year interval. We examined the correlation between biomarker levels (baseline vs. longitudinal change) and annual changes in the MMSE scores. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted to compare the biomarkers. Results: After adjustment, faster cognitive decline was correlated with lower baseline levels of t-Tau (β=0.332, p=0.030) and p-Tau 181 (β=0.369, p=0.015) and rapid elevation of t-Tau (β=-0.330, p=0.030) and p-Tau 181 levels (β=-0.431, p=0.004). However, the levels (baseline and longitudinal changes) of Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42, and α-Syn were not correlated with cognitive decline. aMCI converters had lower baseline levels of p-Tau 181 (p=0.002) but larger annual changes (p=0.001) than aMCI non-converters. The change in p-Tau 181 levels showed better discriminatory capacity than the change in t-Tau levels in terms of identifying AD conversion in patients with aMCI, with an area under curve of 86.7% versus 72.2%. Conclusion We found changes in p-Tau 181 levels may be a suitable biomarker for identifying AD conversion.

Recurrent spontaneous abortion （RSA） is a common gynecological disease during pregnancy， clinically characterized by repeated spontaneous abortions， yet its pathological mechanism remains incompletely understood. Traditional Chinese medicine attributes the pathogenesis of RSA to the deficiency of Chong Ren and the lack of fetal solidity. It has amassed experience in treating RSA， with Shoutaiwan being widely utilized for addressing miscarriage symptoms such as habitual abortion due to kidney deficiency， bleeding during pregnancy， and fetal movement. In recent years， there has been a gradual increase in experimental studies on the application of Shoutaiwan in treating RSA and on related experiments. These studies have demonstrated that Shoutaiwan preserves the fetus mainly by modulating hormone balance， alleviating immune inflammation， and enhancing blood coagulation equilibrium during pregnancy. Besides， through the modulation of key signaling pathways such as nuclear factor， erythroid 2 like 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） and Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）/signal transducer and activator of transcription （STAT）， as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， Shoutaiwan has improved cellular antioxidant capacity， adjusted the phenotype of trophoblast and metaphase cells， and inhibited immune rejection， thus improving the pregnancy success rate. These findings not only elucidate the diverse biological foundations underlying Shoutaiwan's efficacy in treating RSA but also offer a scientific rationale for its clinical application and further mechanism research. Nonetheless， there remains a dearth of systematic reviews on RSA treatment with Shoutaiwan. Therefore， this review summarizes and synthesizes existing research findings to systematically analyze existing literature and studies， delving deeply into the principal pharmacological effects and associated signaling pathways of Shoutaiwan in regulating RSA. It aims to establish crucial reference points for its clinical application in RSA treatment and future experiments and research.
