Following the release of the Technical Requirements on Quality Control and Standard Establishment of Traditional Chinese Medicine Formula Granules by the National Medical Products Administration in 2021, Chinese Pharmacopoeia Commission has promulgated 296 national drug standards so far, and most provinces have started the work of establishing provincial standards as supplements. The promulgation of standards fostered high-quality development of the industry. Since the implementation of national and provincial standards for more than three years, enterprises have gained deep understanding and hands-on experiences on the characteristics, technical requirements, production process, and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) formula granules. Meanwhile, challenges have emerged restricting the high-quality development of this industry, including how to formulate quality control strategies for medicinal materials and decoction pieces, how to reduce manufacturing costs, and how to improve the pass rate and product stability under high standards. Based on the work experiences from standard management and process research, this article analyzed the distribution of sources, processing methods, dry extract rate ranges, process requirements for volatile oil-containing decoction pieces, control measures of safety indices, characteristics and trends of setting characteristic chromatograms or fingerprints, characteristics and trends of setting content ranges, and main differences between national standards and provincial standards. On the one hand, this article aims to present main characteristics for deeply understanding different indicators in standards and provide basic ideas for establishing quality and process control systems. On the other hand, from the perspective of industrial practice, suggestions are put forward on the important aspects that need to be focused on in the quality and process control of TCM formula granules.

OBJECTIVE: Serological and molecular biological analysis of a B(A) subtype family was carried out to explore the underlying mechanism of B(A) subtype and clinical safe blood transfusion strategies. METHODS: The ABO blood type of the proband and her four family members were identified by serological methods, and serological experiments such as anti-H, anti-A1 and absorption-elution tests was added. In addition, the exons 6 and 7 of the ABO gene were sequenced by PCR-SSP (polymerase chain reaction - sequence specific primer). RESULTS: The serological results showed that the agglutination intensity of the proband, her mother and her maternal grandmother was imbalanced during forward typing, showing weak A and strong B antigens, and there were strong H antigens and their intensity were higher than that of normal B type. The results of reverse typing indicated the presence of weak anti-A1 antibodies, and human anti-A was positive in the absorption-elution test. Genetic sequencing revealed a characteristic mutation of c.700 C>G in all three individuals. The sequencing results showed that the proband was B(A)02/B01, her mother was B(A)02/O02, and her maternal grandmother was B(A)02/O01 . According to the compatibility principle, 1.5 units of type O washed red blood cells were transfused intraoperatively, resulting in no adverse reactions. CONCLUSION The c.700 C > G mutation on exon 7 is the molecular basis for the formation of B(A)02, and pedigree analysis shows that the B(A)02 allele was inherited from the proband's maternal grandmother to the proband's mother and then to the proband, showing a stable cis-inheritance pattern rather than a spontaneous mutation. For patients with B(A)02 subtype, type O washed red blood cells and type AB plasma can be transfused according to the principle of compatibility.

BACKGROUND: Medical informatics accumulated vast amounts of data for clinical diagnosis and treatment. However, limited access to follow-up data and the difficulty in integrating data across diverse platforms continue to pose significant barriers to clinical research progress. In response, our research team has embarked on the development of a specialized clinical research database for cardiology, thereby establishing a comprehensive digital platform that facilitates both clinical decision-making and research endeavors. METHODS: The database incorporated actual clinical data from patients who received treatment at the Cardiovascular Medicine Department of Chinese PLA General Hospital from 2012 to 2021. It included comprehensive data on patients' basic information, medical history, non-invasive imaging studies, laboratory test results, as well as peri-procedural information related to interventional surgeries, extracted from the Hospital Information System. Additionally, an innovative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered interactive follow-up system had been developed, ensuring that nearly all myocardial infarction patients received at least one post-discharge follow-up, thereby achieving comprehensive data management throughout the entire care continuum for high-risk patients. RESULTS: This database integrates extensive cross-sectional and longitudinal patient data, with a focus on higher-risk acute coronary syndrome patients. It achieves the integration of structured and unstructured clinical data, while innovatively incorporating AI and automatic speech recognition technologies to enhance data integration and workflow efficiency. It creates a comprehensive patient view, thereby improving diagnostic and follow-up quality, and provides high-quality data to support clinical research. Despite limitations in unstructured data standardization and biological sample integrity, the database's development is accompanied by ongoing optimization efforts. CONCLUSION The cardiovascular specialty clinical database is a comprehensive digital archive integrating clinical treatment and research, which facilitates the digital and intelligent transformation of clinical diagnosis and treatment processes. It supports clinical decision-making and offers data support and potential research directions for the specialized management of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To explore the changes of durability properties of reusable surgical gowns when used in dry and wet conditions.Methods Reusable surgical gowns made of single-layer polyester fiber or 3-layer composite material were selected as test samples,and a Martindale abrasion and pilling tester was used as the basic test platform and modified to form fixtures suitable for the wet state environment.The reusable surgical gowns underwent abrasion experiments in wet and dry conditions to observe the changes in their fiber structure,and were subjected to water penetration resistance and swelling strength tests.Results Visually the reusable surgical gowns had few changes of the microscopic textile fiber structure in dry and wet conditions,and the gowns made of single-layer polyster fiber gained advantages over the outer layers of those of 3-layer composite material in abrasion resistance with the same friction cycles.In dry and wet conditions,the hydrostatic pressure values of the gowns of single-layer polyster fiber gradually decreased with the increase of the degree of abrasion,which were always lower than those of the gowns of 3-layer composite material;the swelling strength of the gowns of single-layer polyster fiber was always greater than that of the gowns of 3-layer composite material,which decreased with the deterioration of the wear more significantly than that of the gowns of 3-layer composite material.Conclusion The reusable surgical gowns made of single-layer polyester fiber or 3-layer composite material have few differences in durability and protective properties at the early stages of ablation in dry and wet conditions.The durability of the gowns decreases as the degree of wear increases,while the trend of the decrease is slowing down until the fabric breaks down and completely loses its barrier effect.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):28-33]

AIM To investigate the protective effect of Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills against house dust mite(HDM)-induced allergic asthma in mice.METHODS Compared to the intact BALB/c mice in the blank control group,the BALB/c mice randomly assigned into the model group,the dexamethasone group(0.67 mg/kg),and the low-dose,medium-dose,and high-dose Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills groups(15,30 and 60 mg/kg),were induced into acute allergic asthma models via weekly intraperitoneal sensitization with 0.1 mL HDM solution(0.5 mg/mL)for three weeks followed by three consecutive daily intranasal challenges with 10 μL HDM solution(2.5 mg/mL)starting in the third week.The drug administered continuously 7 days after the last excitation.The mice had their airway reactive Penh value detected,their pulmonary pathological changes observed by HE staining,their blood eosinophils(EOS)counted,their Th2 cytokines in lung tissue and serum IgE levels detected by ELISA,and their number of peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)and pulmonary Th2 cells detected by flow cytometry.Chronic allergic asthma was induced in grouped BALB/c mice through repeated intranasal challenges with 10 μL HDM solution(2.5 mg/mL)administered five times weekly for five consecutive weeks.Drug treatment continued for 14 days following the final challenge.After the final treatment,the mice had their pulmonary pathological changes observed by HE staining,and their levels of Th2 cytokines in B ALF and lung tissue and serum IgE detected by ELISA.RESULTS Compared to the blank control group,the acute allergic asthma model group exhibited increases in Penh value,EOS count and IgE level in serum,IL-4 and IL-5 levels in lung tissue(P＜0.01);obvious pulmonary inflammatory cells infiltration,and thickened airway wall;and increase in pulmonary number of Th2 cells(P＜0.01).Compared to the model group,the groups intervened with Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills demonstrated decreased Penh value,serum EOS count,IgE level and IL-5 level in lung tissue(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);reduced pulmonary inflammatory infiltration and alleviated airway wall thickening;and decreased number of pulmonary Th2 cells.Compared to the blank group,the chronic allergic asthma model group showed obvious pulmonary inflammatory infiltration and airway wall thickening;and increased EOS count and IgE level in serum,IL-4 and IL-13 in lung tissue and IL-14 in BALF(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared to the model group,the groups intervened with either medium-dose or high-dose Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills demonstrated reduced pulmonary inflammatory infiltration;and decreased serum EOS count,IgE level,IL-13 in lung tissue and IL-14 in BALF(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Sanfeng Tongqiao Dropping Pills reduce Th2 cells in peripheral blood and lung tissue,suppress type 2 inflammation,and thereby alleviate allergic asthma.

Objective:To develop a treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The initial scale was constructed through a literature search, Delphi expert correspondence, and cognitive testing. This study conducted a preliminary survey of 379 patients with MM and a formal survey of 865 patients from the hematology departments of 155 hospitals nationwide from February 2024 to March 2024. The final scale was obtained after conducting item analysis and reliability and validity tests on the initial scale.Results:The constructed scale contains 36 items covering six domains: physiological, psychological, social, treatment side effects, general health, and others. In the preliminary survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.597 to 0.939, and the test-retest reliability was 0.747 ( P<0.001). Exploratory factor analysis extracted eight common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 60.058%. In the formal survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.484 to 0.930, and the test-retest reliability was 0.835 ( P<0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a comparative fit index of 0.750, a root-mean-square error of approximation of 0.090, and a root-mean-square residual of 0.067. Conclusion:The treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with MM designed in this study exhibited good reliability and validity, reflecting the impact of treatment on the quality of life of patients. This scale can provide a reference to clinicians for assessing the disease status of patients.

Objective:To investigate the impact of antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) exposure on neonatal outcomes in late preterm infants.Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed 406 late preterm infants (gestational age 34 +0-36 +6 weeks) born at Tongji University Affiliated Dongfang Hospital between January 2021 and June 2024. Participants were divided into ACS-exposed ( n=254) and control ( n=152) groups. Maternal characteristics, neonatal profiles, and outcomes [respiratory disorders (respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory failure, bronchopulmonary dysplasia), neonatal hypoglycemia, and early-onset sepsis] were compared. And they were stratified by plurality (154 twins, 252 singletons) and gestational age (96 at 34 +0-34 +6 weeks; 111 at 35 +0-35 +6 weeks; 199 at 36 +0-36 +6 weeks), the effects of ACS exposure on neonatal outcomes were analyzed. Late preterm infants were also divided into affected ( n=13) and unaffected ( n=393) groups according to whether they had respiratory disorders, and the risk factors of respiratory disorders were analyzed. Statistical methods included independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square test, and multivariate logistic regression. Results:The ACS-exposed group exhibited significantly higher rates of assisted reproductive technology conception [53.1% (135/254) vs. 37.5% (57/152), χ2=9.37], twin pregnancy [43.3% (110/254) vs. 28.9% (44/152), χ2=6.84], cesarean delivery [83.5% (212/254) vs. 66.4% (101/152), χ2=15.66], and neonatal intensive care unit admission than those in the control group [59.1% (150/254) vs. 40.8% (62/152), χ2=12.61] (all P<0.05). No significant differences emerged between ACS-exposed and control groups in respiratory disorders [3.1% (8/254) vs. 3.3% (5/152), χ2=0.01], early-onset sepsis [1.6% (4/254) vs. 1.3% (2/152), χ2=0.71], or neonatal hypoglycemia [1.6% (4/254) vs. 1.3% (2/152), χ2=0.71] (all P>0.05). Stratified analyses by plurality or gestational age strata revealed no significant differences in respiratory disorders, early-onset sepsis or neonatal hypoglycemia between ACS-exposed and control groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified ACS exposure as non-protective against respiratory disorders ( OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.10-1.39, P=0.144), with maternal glucose metabolism disorders (pre-gestational/gestational diabetes) as a risk factor ( OR=5.26, 95% CI: 1.57-17.71, P=0.007) and higher gestational age as protective ( OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.15-0.78, P=0.012). Conclusions:ACS administration at 34 +0-36 +6 weeks demonstrated no significant benefits for preventing respiratory disorders in late preterm infants and did not increase risks of hypoglycemia or early-onset sepsis. Maternal glucose dysregulation and lower gestational age elevate respiratory morbidity risk in this population.

Objective:To explore the effects and potential mechanisms of cell growth regulator 1 ( CGREF1) with an EF hand domain in colorectal cancer proliferation and migration. Methods:Fifty paraffin specimens of colorectal cancer tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues were selected from January 2023 to January 2024 from the Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University for analysis, and TCGA, GDSC, KMPLOT and STRING databases were used to explore the expression, prognosis, immune microenvironment, drug sensitivity and related signaling pathway functions of CGREF1 in colorectal cancer. Tissue and cellular expression levels of CGREF1 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR. Lentiviral-mediated CGREF1 overexpression in SW-620 cells (OE- CGREF1 vs NC groups) was functionally characterized through CCK-8 proliferation assays, colony formation tests, and scratch wound healing migration assays, with mechanistic investigation via Western blot analysis of apoptosis markers, invasion-related proteins, and RAS/RAF/ERK pathway components. In vivo tumorigenicity was assessed by subcutaneous injection of control or CGREF1-overexpressing SW620 cells in nude mice ( n=3 per group) with tumor growth monitoring. Software of GraphPad Prism 9 was used for statistical analysis of experimental data. Results:CGREF1CGREF1RASERK Studies based on databases, clinical samples and colorectal cancer cell line analyses demonstrated that CGREF1 is downregulated in colorectal cancer, where low CGREF1 expression showed positive correlation with tumor diameter and invasion depth. CGREF1 is closely related to tumor immune infiltration microenvironment and sensitivity to multiple anti-tumor drugs. Overexpression of CGREF1 promoted cell apoptosis while inhibiting cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Overexpression of CGREF1 downregulated the expression levels of RAS, ERK and P-P38/MAPK pathway proteins. CGREF1 inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion:CGREF1 can inhibit the proliferation, colony formation, and migration of CRC cells through the RAS/ERK/MAPK pathway.

Objective To investigate the improvement effects of homogeneous fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)on chemotherapy-induced diarrhea(CID)in mice.Methods Fifteen C57BL/6N mice were divided into control group,CID model group and CID+FMT group according to the random number distribution and remainder grouping method,with 5 mice per group.Control group received no intervention,and their feces were used to prepare fecal bacteria suspension.CID model group was injected intraperitoneally with fluorouracil(65 mg/kg)for 5 consecutive days to construct the CID mouse model,followed by gavage with 0.1 ml of saline on alternate days.CID+FMT group was given 0.1 ml fecal bacteria suspension gavage on alternate days for one week,followed by intraperitoneal injection of fluorouracil(65 mg/kg)for 5 consecutive days to construct the CID mouse model,with the experiment ending on the 14th day.During the experiment,the mice's food intake and body weight were recorded.At the end of the experiment,the mice were euthanized with deep carbon dioxide anesthesia,and the mice colonic specimens from cecum to anus were collected for hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining and histopathological examination.Fecal samples were collected for 16S rRNA gene sequencing.Shannon index,Simpson index and Chao1 algorithm were used to analyze the α-diversity species of the intestinal flora in each group of mice.Similarity analysis(Anosim)was used to perform non-parametric on the inter-group differences of intestinal flora among the mice.Linear discriminate analysis size effect(LEfSe)and nonmetric multidimensional scaling(NMDS)were employed to analyze the intestinal dominant flora and the similarity classification relationships in each group of mice.Results The colonic specimen's length from cecum to anus in CID model group was significantly shorter than that in control group(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference between CID+FMT group and CID model group(P>0.05).The weight of mice in CID model group decreased by 42.04%,while control group mice gained 10.24%,with a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).The weight of mice in CID+FMT group decreased by 8.12%,which was significantly improved compared to CID model group(P<0.05).HE staining results revealed the intestinal mucosal structure in CID model group was severely damaged,with atrophy and deformation,accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration,and the pathological score was higher than that of control group(P<0.05).Compared with CID model group,the intestinal mucosal integrity and crypt cells in the CID+FMT group were improved,with less damage,and the pathological score was lower than that of CID model group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The α-diversity analysis showed that there were significant differences in the Shannon,Simpson and Chao1 indices among the three groups(P<0.05).ANOSIM and NMDS analysis revealed that the intestinal flora in CID+FMT group was closer to the normal intestinal flora compared to CID model group.LEfSe analysis showed that the intestinal flora in CID model group was enriched in famliy_Bacteroidaceae,and the intestinal flora in CID+FMT group was similar to that of control group,with an enrichenment of familiy_Enterobacteriaceae.Conclusion Homogeneous FMT can improve the abundance of intestinal flora in CID mice,making it more similar to normal intestinal flora,thereby protecting intestinal mucosa,reducing damage and alleviating the severity of CID.
