Objective: To systematically analyze the current status and influencing factors of platelet supply in medical institutions across China, and to explore the problems and future development directions of the existing supply models. Methods: From February 25 to March 5, 2025, a web-based questionnaire survey was performed. A self-designed questionnaire was distributed to staff in the blood transfusion departments of medical institutions nationwide in China. Data on the current status and influencing factors of platelet supply were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 2 268 responses were collected in this survey, with 1 366 valid questionnaires finally included, covering 33 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government across China. The survey revealed that platelet supply in Chinese medical institutions exhibited a pattern of "sufficient in the eastern region, stable in the central region, and scarce in the western region": adequate in East China; generally favorable in South China except Guangxi; centered on Beijing and Tianjin in North China; basically met but with insufficient reserves in Central China; subject to seasonal fluctuations in Northeast China; only meeting the baseline supply in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in Southwest China; and notably short in Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang in Northwest China. Family donor mobilization was required in 81.2% (1 109/1 366) of institutions, whereas this proportion was only 12.7% (173/1 366) among institutions with sufficient supply. Tertiary hospitals constituted the main users, among which tertiary Class A hospitals had the highest sufficiency rate, and secondary Class B hospitals showed the most pronounced shortage. A total of 84% (1 147/1 366) of institutions lacked a professional management team; only 19% (266/1 366) had an inventory warning system, of which 88% (234/266) considered it effective. Platelet reservation required 3 days in 33% (458/1 366) of institutions. The mandatory transfusion rate was 30.55% (29/118) when the reservation lead time exceeded 3 days, representing an increase of 5.98% compared with 24.57% (55/180) in the same-day reservation group. For optimization, most institutions called for improved blood donation services, strengthened education and incentives, establishment of regional coordination and policy collaboration, and supplementary suggestions focused on technologies for extending platelet shelf life. Conclusion: Regional imbalance in platelet supply across China is prominent, with supply shortages in some provinces, reliance on family donor mobilization in most institutions, weak grassroots support capacity, imperfect management systems, and supply timeliness constraining clinical practice. Systematic improvements are needed in optimizing blood donation services, strengthening regional coordination, improving relevant policies, and developing platelet preservation technologies, so as to enhance the level of supply security and patient safety.

Bronchiolar adenoma (BA) is a rare type of lung tumor characterized by bilayered epithelial cells having a continuous basal layer and a luminal layer. It resembles mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA) on frozen section, with difficulty in distinguishing the basal layer. Immunohistochemistry is the best choice for verifying the diagnosis. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize three cases of BA-combined carcinoma using clinical, histopathological, and genetic features. BA and carcinoma sections were subjected to next-generation sequencing, respectively. It was hypothesized that while different mutation forms matched different regions, BA and lung adenocarcinoma shared the same gene mutation when they co-occurred in the same location. BA with extensive carcinoma is extremely rare and presents diagnostic challenges due to its overlap with conditions such as MA. Because of its distinctive morphological characteristics, BA may be regarded as a low-grade malignancy, particularly during a confusing evaluation. A multifaceted examination of clinical, radiological, immunohistochemical, and genetic data is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

Objective: To systematically investigate the current status of platelet clinical application in Chinese medical institutions based on a nationwide large-sample survey, to analyze the key issues in rational utilization and transfusion efficacy management, and to provide empirical evidence for the construction of a standardized and refined platelet management system. Methods: A selfdesigned online questionnaires was distributed to transfusion department personnel across China to collect and analyze the current clinical application status of platelets. Results: A total of 2 268 questionnaires were collected in this survey, among which 1 375 valid responses were obtained from medical institutions across 33 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). The survey revealed an uneven distribution of clinical platelet consumption; 67.05% of facilities used fewer than 500 platelet u-nits annually, and highvolume demand concentrated in a small number of largescale hospitals. Platelet consumption showed a weak correlation with hospital grade and hospital bed number. The disease spectrum for platelet transfusion was highly concentrated. Hematological diseases constituted the leading indication (reported by 1 022 institutions), followed by traumarelated surgeries and solid tumors. In terms of management practice, 70.3% of participating institutions routinely performed posttransfusion efficacy evaluation. Nevertheless, this practice was limited by inadequate evaluation depth (only 58.3% kept detailed records) and institutional deficiency (12.9% had no relevant evaluation systems), mainly due to insufficient awareness and lack of unified criteria. Although 70.0% of hospitals had established adversereaction management workflows and 91.8% achieved highcoverage adverseevent reporting, prominent drawbacks remained, including nonstandardized implementation (standard practice was adopted merely in 41.9% of centers), unsystematic outcome analysis (regular analysis performed in only 26.4% of institutions), and broken feedback loops (56.3% failed to send feedback to blood collection and supply institutions). More than 90% of hospitals selfrated their rational plateletuse rate above 75%. The primary contributors to inappropriate platelet transfusion included biased assessment of clinical indications and excessive prophylactic transfusion triggered by timerelated imbalance between blood supply and clinical demand. Platelet supply status had no statistically significant correlation with routine posttransfusion assessment and selfevaluated rational use levels. Furthermore, plateletrelated management was confronted with a paradox coexisting of supply shortage and bloodproduct waste. While platelet preparation quality was generally reliable, expiration was the top cause of platelet discard (24.80%). Insufficient and untimely supply (79.3%) and short shelflife (46.0%) were recognized as core systematic challenges. Conclusion: China's current platelet management system features extensive institutional coverage paired with insufficient closedloop effectiveness. First, platelet consumption is highly concentrated, yet supply shortage and expiredproduct discard coexist, reflecting insufficient capacity for dynamic inventory allocation and wholeprocess administration. Second, clinicians generally hold positive selfevaluations for rational platelet application, whereas their clinical decisions are substantially constrained by conflicts between supply and demand, bringing about situational compromises under resource limitations. Third, despite established frameworks for efficacy evaluation and adverseevent management, widespread problems such as irregular documentation, unsystematic data analysis and interrupted crosshospital feedback hinder the transition from formal rules to practical management benefits. Comprehensive strategies should be adopted for future improvement. Clinically, standardized training on transfusion indications and unified criteria for posttransfusion assessment should be popularized. Administratively, intelligent inventory systems ought to be constructed to balance supplydemand matching, and closedloop management covering adverseevent analysis and feedback to bloodsupply agencies should be enforced. At the systematic level, advances in technologies for prolonged platelet storage are urgently required to build a resilient and highefficiency plateletguarantee system.

Purpose To investigate the immunohistochemical HER2 expression in a large group of patients with urothelial carcinoma and to compare the results with the pathologic features and survival rate.Methods A total of 519 urothelial carcinoma specimens were collected from two centers.HER2 expression was measured by EnVision immuno-histochemistry.HER2 expression was compared with clinicopathological parameters,and further analyzed in relation to patient prognosis.Results The median age of the 519 patients was 66 years with a male to female ratio of 1.93∶1.Among them,160 cases were radical specimens,and 359 were transurethral resection specimens.The overall HER2 positivity rate was 61.7％(320/519),of which 148 cases(28.5％)were HER2 1+,238(45.9％)were HER2 2+,and 82(15.8％)were HER2 3+.In addition,51 cases(9.8％)were HER2-negative.HER2-positive ex-pression was associated with age,tumor location,histological grade,histological type,surgical approach,lymphovas-cular invasion,and neural invasion(all P＜0.05),but there was no significant correlation with gender,pT stage,muscular invasion,or lymph node metastasis.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age≥ 66 years,higher tumor grade,and lymphovascular invasion were risk factors for positive HER2 expression,and high histological grade and lymphovascular invasion were independent risk factors affecting HER2 expression after controlling for confounders.Survival analysis showed no significant difference in recurrence-free survival between patients with HER2-positive and HER2-negative non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma(P=0.274).Conclusion High histologic grade,tumor lymphovascular invasion,and neural invasion were associated with positive HER2 expression in patients with urothelial carcinoma,and higher histologic grade and lymphovascular invasion are important factors affect-ing HER2 expression.However,HER2-positive expression may not affect the prognosis of patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma.

METHODS In accordance with the common pathogenesis of coronary heart disease， acute myocardial ischemia model， hyperlipidemia model， blood stasis model， and carotid artery thrombosis model were established using Wistar rats or SD rats as the experimental subjects. The effects of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills administered at high， medium， and low doses （0.6， 1.2 and 2.4 g/kg） on hemodynamic parameters and myocardial enzyme markers [lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， creatine kinase-MB （CK- MB）]， oxidative stress factors [superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）]， inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-1β， monocyte chemotactic protein-1 （MCP-1）， intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1）]， myocardial infarction percentage， serum lipid indexes [total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， low-density lipoprotein （LDL）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL）]， platelet aggregation function 话：022-84845240。E-mail：jiangx@tjipr.com [maximum aggregation rate （MAR）]， and thrombus formation indexes [thrombosis time， thrombus mass， thrombus protein content， plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 （PAI-1）， and tissue-type plasminogen activator （t-PA）] were evaluated in the rat models. RESULTS In myocardial ischemia tests， Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly reduced the percentage of myocardial infarction and the levels of CK-MB， LDH， MDA， GSH， IL-6， TNF-α， IL- 1β， and MCP-1 in serum （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In hyperlipidemia tests， high dose of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly reduced the serum levels of TC， LDL and significantly increased the level of HDL in rats after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of administration. In blood stasis tests， different doses of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly reduced MAR of rats （P＜0.01）. In artery thrombosis tests， high dose of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly prolonged the time of thrombosis formation （P＜ 0.01）， significantly reduced the weight and protein content of thrombus and the level of PAI-1 in serum （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Tianjiang xueshuantong pills exert therapeutic effects on coronary heart disease through multi-dimensional synergistic actions， including anti-myocardial ischemia， lipid-lowering， and anti-thrombotic effects.

ObjectiveThis study leverages structural data from antigen-antibody complexes of the influenza A virus neuraminidase (NA) protein to investigate the spatial recognition relationship between the antigenic epitopes and antibody paratopes. MethodsStructural data on NA protein antigen-antibody complexes were comprehensively collected from the SAbDab database, and processed to obtain the amino acid sequences and spatial distribution information on antigenic epitopes and corresponding antibody paratopes. Statistical analysis was conducted on the antibody sequences, frequency of use of genes, amino acid preferences, and the lengths of complementarity determining regions (CDR). Epitope hotspots for antibody binding were analyzed, and the spatial structural similarity of antibody paratopes was calculated and subjected to clustering, which allowed for a comprehensively exploration of the spatial recognition relationship between antigenic epitopes and antibodies. The specificity of antibodies targeting different antigenic epitope clusters was further validated through bio-layer interferometry (BLI) experiments. ResultsThe collected data revealed that the antigen-antibody complex structure data of influenza A virus NA protein in SAbDab database were mainly from H3N2, H7N9 and H1N1 subtypes. The hotspot regions of antigen epitopes were primarily located around the catalytic active site. The antibodies used for structural analysis were primarily derived from human and murine sources. Among murine antibodies, the most frequently used V-J gene combination was IGHV1-12*01/IGHJ2*01, while for human antibodies, the most common combination was IGHV1-69*01/IGHJ6*01. There were significant differences in the lengths and usage preferences of heavy chain CDR amino acids between antibodies that bind within the catalytic active site and those that bind to regions outside the catalytic active site. The results revealed that structurally similar antibodies could recognize the same epitopes, indicating a specific spatial recognition between antibody and antigen epitopes. Structural overlap in the binding regions was observed for antibodies with similar paratope structures, and the competitive binding of these antibodies to the epitope was confirmed through BLI experiments. ConclusionThe antigen epitopes of NA protein mainly ditributed around the catalytic active site and its surrounding loops. Spatial complementarity and electrostatic interactions play crucial roles in the recognition and binding of antibodies to antigenic epitopes in the catalytic region. There existed a spatial recognition relationship between antigens and antibodies that was independent of the uniqueness of antibody sequences, which means that antibodies with different sequences could potentially form similar local spatial structures and recognize the same epitopes.

Objective:To prepare the nanodrug paclitaxel dimer(PTX2)-loaded nanoparticles(NPs)using the block copolymer 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-polyethylene glycol 2000,(DSPE-PEG2000),and to explore the killing effect of PTX2 NPs on the human lung cancer A549 cells and its influence on apop to tis.Methods:The PTX2 NPs were prepared using nanoprecipitation method.Dynamic light scattering(DLS)was employed to determine the particle size distribution,and transmission electron microscope(TEM)was used to observe the ultrastructure of the nanoparticles.After treatment of 0 and 10 mmol·L-1 dithiothreitol(DTT),dialysis method was used to evaluate the in vitro drug release profile of PTX2 NPs.The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)method was used to assess the survival rates of the A549 cells after treated with PTX2 and PTX2 NPs with different concentrations(0.000 1,0.001 0,0.010 0,0.100 0,and 1.000 0 μmol·L-1).The A549 cells were divided into control group,PTX2 group,and PTX2 NPs group.Live/dead staining method was used to detect the survival of the A549 cells in various groups,and flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic rates of the A549 cells in various groups.Results:The mean hydrodynamic diameter of PTX2 NPs was determined to be 144.7nmbyDLS.TheTEM imaging confirmed uniform spherical morphology of PTX2 NPs.In a reductive environment,the PTX2 NPs exhibited continuous drug release with total paclitaxel(PTX)release of 84％within 72 h.The results of CCK-8 method showed that both PTX2 and PTX2 NPs inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner.When the concentrations of PTX＜0.01 μmol·L-1,compared with PTX2 group,the survival rates of A549 cells in PTX2 NPs group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01 or P＜0.001).The live/dead staining results showed that compared with PTX2 group,the number of red fluorescence-labeled dead cells in PTX2 NPs group was increased.The flow cytometry results demonstrated that compared with control group and PTX2 group,the apoptotic rates of the A549 cells in PTX2 NPs group were significantly increased(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01).Conclusion:The PTX2-loaded nanoparticles PTX2 NPs are successfully prepared which exhibits responsive drug release and demonstrates a more significant killing effect on the human lung cancer A549 cells compared to PTX2.

Although clinical evidence suggests that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is an established major risk factor for heart failure, it remains unexplored whether sleep disorder-caused hepatic damage contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Here, our findings revealed that sleep fragmentation (SF) displayed notable hepatic detrimental phenotypes, including steatosis and oxidative damage, along with significant abnormalities in cardiac structure and function. All these pathological changes persisted even after sleep recovery for 2 consecutive weeks or more, displaying memory properties. Mechanistically, persistent higher expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 (NOX4) in the liver was the key initiator of SF-accelerated damage phenotypes. SF epigenetically controlled the acetylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27ac) enrichment at the Nox4 promoter and markedly increased Nox4 expression in liver even after sleep recovery. Moreover, fine coordination of the circadian clock and hepatic damage was strictly controlled by BMAL1-dependent Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) transcription after circadian misalignment. Accordingly, genetic manipulation of liver-specific Nox4 or Sirt1, along with pharmacological intervention targeting NOX4 (GLX351322) or SIRT1 (Resveratrol), could effectively erase the epigenetic modification of Nox4 by reducing the H3K27ac level and ameliorate the progression of liver pathology, thereby counteracting SF-evoked sustained CVD. Collectively, our findings may pave the way for strategies to mitigate myocardial injury from persistent hepatic detrimental memory in diabetic patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of AU-rich element RNA-binding factor 1(AUF1)on the proliferation,apoptosis,and migration abilities of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cells and possible mechanisms,and to clarify the role and molecular mechanism of AUF1 in the progression of HCC.Methods The UALCAN and TCGA-HCC databases were used to analyze the expression of AUF1 in pan-cancer and investigate the association of the expression level of AUF1 with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of HCC patients.CCK-8 assay,cell apoptosis assay,and Transwell chamber assay were used to investigate the function of AUF1 at the cellular level,and RNA-seq assay was used to investigate transcriptome changes in HCC cells after AUF1 knockdown.The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups;the Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves,and the log-rank test was used for comparison of survival rates.Results There were abnormal mRNA and protein expression levels of AUF1 in various tumor tissues compared with normal tissue(P<0.05).The mRNA expression level of AUF1 was positively correlated with the degree of HCC malignancy and the poor prognosis of early-stage HCC(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the overexpression of exogenous AUF1 in HCC cells promoted the proliferation of HCC cells and inhibited the apoptosis and migration of HCC cells,while AUF1 knockdown inhibited HCC cell proliferation and promoted the apoptosis and migration of HCC cells.The RNA-seq analysis showed that AUF1 knockdown mainly affected the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and downregulated the protein expression level of β-catenin.Conclusion The abnormal expression of AUF1 is associated with the prognosis of early-stage HCC,and AUF1 may exert an oncogenic effect by activating the Wnt signaling pathway.
