Background/Aims:
Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for the sickest patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). However, the influence of donor age on liver transplantation, especially in ACLF patients, is still unclear.
Methods:
In this study, we used the data of the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. We included patients with ACLF who received liver transplantation from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2017, and the total number was 13,857. We allocated the ACLF recipients by age intogroup I (donor age ≤17 years, n=647); group II (donor age 18–59 years, n=11,423); and group III (donor age ≥60 years, n=1,787). Overall survival (OS), graft survival, and mortality were com-pared among the three age groups and the four ACLF grades. Cox regression was also analyzed.
Results:
The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 89.6%, 85.5%, and 82.0% in group I; 89.4%, 83.4%, and 78.2% in group II; and 86.8%, 78.4%, and 71.4% in group III, respectively (p<0.001).When we analyzed the different effects of donor age on OS with different ACLF grades, in groupsII and III, we observed statistical differences. Finally, the cubic spline curve told us that the relative death rate changed linearly with increasing donor age.
Conclusions
Donor age is related to OS and graft survival of ACLF patients after transplanta-tion, and poorer results were associated with elderly donors. In addition, different donor ages have different effects on recipients with different ACLF grades.

The development of health-promoting hospitals is an important part of the Healthy China Initiative, facilitating the transformation of medical institutions from a primary focus on medical and surgical treatments to a patient-centered approach prioritizing public health. To promote the scientific, standardized, and sustainable development of health-promoting hospitals, the Shanghai Municipal Center for Health Promotion, together with Shanghai General Hospital and other institutions, has jointly developed the Standards for the Development of Health⁃promoting Hospitals (Standards) in accordance with the principles of scientific rigor, feasibility, and advancing with the times. The Standards outlines the requirements for the development of health-promoting hospitals across four aspects: organizational and institutional guarantees, creation of a healthy environment, implementation of health education and promotion, and evaluation. It is applicable to all levels and types of public medical institutions in Shanghai, and can also be referred to and implemented by other medical institutions. The introduction of the Standards is of great significance for promoting the formation of a long-term mechanism in health-promoting hospitals. This paper introduces the basis, principles, main content, precautions, and implementation suggestions of the Standards. Taking into account relevant policies and standards, it interprets the technical aspects in the process of developing health-promoting hospitals, which is helpful for medical institutions and their management to better understand and apply the standards in their work.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of clinical factors and inflammatory markers on platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) in children with chemotherapy- induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) and evaluate their predictive value, so as to provide reference for mechanism study of PTR caused by non-immune factors in children with cancer and provide clinical guidance for reasonable and effective platelet transfusion in children. 【Methods】 A total of 60 CIT pediatric cancer patients from Children’s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between November 2022 and February 2024 were selected as the study subjects, and divided into the PTR group (n=30) and the non-PTR group (n=30) to collect the clinical data and laboratory markers before platelet transfusion (Plt). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of PTR. The predictive value influencing factors of PTR was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. 【Results】 Plasma IL-1β concentration in PTR group was significantly higher than that in non-PTR group[67.43 pg/mL (29.38, 222.40) vs 36.38 pg/mL (17.27, 68.06); P<0.05]; plasma IL-8 concentration in PTR group was significantly higher than that in non-PTR group[60.97 pg/mL (39.07, 112.00) vs 25.23 pg/mL (5.00, 71.38); P<0.01]; and the interval from initiation of chemotherapy to platelet transfusion was significantly higher in the PTR group than in the non-PTR group[9.5 d (8.0, 12.0) vs 12.0 d (9.8, 13.2); P<0.05]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that IL-8 concentration (OR=1.05, P<0.05) had a statistically significant effect on the occurrence of PTR. ROC curve analysis showed that plasma IL-1β concentration (Cut-off value: 64.88 pg/mL; AUC: 0.653[95% CI: 0.511-0.796]) and plasma IL-8 concentration (Cut-off value: 33.33 pg/mL; AUC: 0.754[95% CI: 0.631-0.878]) and the interval from initiation of chemotherapy to platelet transfusion (Cut-off value: 11.5 days; AUC: 0.669[95% CI: 0.529-0.810]) were statistically significant in predicting PTR. 【Conclusion】 Plasma IL-8 concentration is an independent risk factor for PTR, and plasma IL-1β, IL-8 concentration and interval from initiation of chemotherapy to platelet transfusion have predictive value for PTR.

BACKGROUND:Our previous studies found that adding barium sulfate could improve the mechanical and radiopaque properties of calcium phosphate cement.However,with the degradation of calcium phosphate,the remaining radiopaque agent is difficult to degrade,and the space-occupying and osteoclast effects at the implantation site affect the bone repair process.Therefore,it is necessary to develop a new biodegradable radiopaque material. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the radiopaque ability of bioactive degradable material strontium polyphosphate(SrPP)and its impact on the physicochemical properties and osteogenic effect of calcium phosphate cement. METHODS:(1)Calcium phosphate cement(CPC),starch modified calcium phosphate cement(CPS)and starch modified calcium phosphate cement(20%SrPP-CPN)containing SrPP(20%mass fraction of bone cement powder)were prepared respectively,and the physicochemical properties of the three groups of bone cements were characterized.(2)The three groups of bone cement extracts were co-cultured with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,respectively,to detect cell proliferation,energy metabolism,and osteogenic differentiation.(3)Bone defects with a diameter of 5 mm were made on each side of the top of the skull of 24 SD rats,and they were randomly divided into control group(without any intervention),CPC group,CPS group,and 20%SrPP-CPN group for intervention,with 6 rats in each group.Relevant tests were performed after 4 and 12 weeks of intervention. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the other two groups of bone cement,20%SrPP-CPN had enhanced radiopaque ability,increased compressive strength and degradation rate,and prolonged curing time,and 20%SrPP-CPN could release Sr2+ stably during degradation.(2)CCK-8 assay showed that 20%SrPP-CPN did not affect the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Cell starvation test(serum-free culture)showed that 20%SrPP-CPN could promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells compared with the other two groups of bone cement.Compared with the other two groups of bone cements,20%SrPP-CPN increased adenosine triphosphate concentration in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining showed that 20%SrPP-CPN could promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells compared with the other two groups of bone cement.(3)In the rat skull defect experiment,Micro-CT scanning and histological observation(hematoxylin-eosin and Masson stainings)showed that bone cement in 20%SrPP-CPN group was significantly degraded compared with that in CPC and CPS groups,and a large number of new bone tissues were dispersed in degraded bone cement.Immunohistochemical staining showed that Runx2 protein expression was increased in 20%SrPP-CPN group compared with CPC group and CPS group(P<0.01).(4)These results show that 20%SrPP-CPN has good radiopaque ability and osteogenic properties.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current situation of health communication carried out by medical institutions in Shanghai through new media platforms such as WeChat, Weibo, Toutiao, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili and WeChat Videos, and to propose targeted measures. MethodsBased on the systematic collection of new media accounts of medical institutions in Shanghai, and through the combination of keyword screening and manual audit, health communication data of medical institutions on new media platforms were determined. ResultsData from 1 117 new media accounts of 162 medical institutions in Shanghai were collected, including 610 WeChat official accounts, 105 WeChat video accounts, 89 Weibo accounts, 18 Bilibili accounts, 198 Douyin accounts, 37 Toutiao accounts, and 60 Kuaishou accounts, totaling 111 853 posts. After keyword sorting and manual screening, a total of 66 761 health science posts were collected, with WeChat Official Accounts, Douyin, and Weibo having the top three highest number of posts. Video-based new media such as Douyin, WeChat Videos, Kuaishou, and Bilibili had a better communication impact than text and image-based new media like WeChat Official Accounts, Weibo, and Toutiao. Among them, Douyin and Toutiao were the best platforms for video and text-image-based new media, respectively. ConclusionMedical institutions in Shanghai recognize the importance of new media in health communication and have made full use of various media platforms to carry out health communication,having a certain impact on health education. In the future, medical institutions should choose appropriate platforms based on target audiences and content characteristics, fully leverage the advantages of various platforms, explore innovative communication strategies, promote the dissemination of health knowledge, and enhance the health literacy of the public.
