Objective This study aims to investigate and analyze the distribution of MN blood type among ethnic minorities in China. Methods Through a systematic retrieval of the 981 literature related to MN blood group distribution, 120 literature, meeting the criteria of this study, with complete data were selected. The literature covers 49 ethnic minorities. SPSS 26 statistical software was used to analyze the data. Results The results showed that among the 49 ethnic minorities in China, the phenotype distribution of MN blood type was MN>MM>NN, with proportions of 42.54%, 41.86%, and 15.06% respectively. The gene frequency for MN blood type exhibited a trend of m>n, with a gene frequency of m being 0.6313 and n being 0.3687. Cluster analysis divided the Chinese ethnic minorities into three groups based on the gene frequency for m, showing the characteristics of Group I>Group II>Group III. Conclusion The MN blood type characteristics in Chinese ethnic minorities show a higher frequency of the M gene compared to the N gene. The frequency of the M gene is higher in southern ethnic minorities than in northern ones. There are significant differences between southwestern ethnic minorities and the Han nationality, but no differences with long-term mixed/settled Han populations.

Objective To analyze the distribution of platelet antibodies in hospitalized patients and explore the clinical significance of platelet antibody detection. Methods A total of 95 987 hospitalized patient cases from a tertiary hospital in Xi'an from April 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023 were collected. Platelet antibodies were detected by solid-phase agglutination method. Statistical analysis was performed on variables including gender, age, blood type, department, history of blood transfusion, pregnancy history, and disease type. Results Among 95 987 hospitalized patients, the positive rate of platelet antibody detection reached 4.35%. The positive rate of platelet antibodies in female hospitalized patients (5.29%) was higher than that in male patients (3.31%), and the difference was statistically significant (x²=224.124). The positive rate of platelet antibodies in those with pregnancy history (7.92%) was higher than that in those without pregnancy history (4.19%), and the difference was significant (x²=292.773). Similarly, the positive rate of platelet antibodies in those with transfusion history (7.79%) was higher than that in those without transfusion history (3.97%), and the difference was significant (x²=300.209). There was a significant correlation between the positive rate of platelet antibodies and the number of pregnancies (x²=91.061). Conclusion The positive rate of platelet antibodies in 95 987 inpatient cases was 4.35%. The positive rate of platelet antibodies had a close relationship with a history of blood transfusions and pregnancies, and it increased with the number of pregnancies. For patients with multiple transfusion histories and pregnancy histories, screening for platelet antibodies holds significant diagnostic value.

AIM:To identify surrogate clinical bio-markers for profiling the eosinophilic status of an individual patient over induced sputum analysis.METHODS:We conducted a cross-sectional study on 100 asthmatic patients whose induced sputum was successfully collected.Subjects were further classified into either EA or NEA based on whether the percentage of sputum eosinophil count(SEC％)was≥3％.Demographic and clinical data were col-lected,including basic information,routine blood tests,lung function tests,bronchodilator reversibili-ty tests,fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO),the Asthma Control Test(ACT)and the Asthma Control Questionnaire(ACQ).All variables significantly asso-ciated with EA were candidates for multivariate lo-gistic regression analysis.A scoring system present-ed as a nomogram for the prediction of EA was de-veloped.RESULTS:In the univariate analysis,com-pared with NEA subjects,those with EA were of older age and had worse asthma control and lung function in addition to higher values of blood eosin-ophils,serum IgE and FeNO.Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that age,FeNOx serum IgE and blood eosinophil count(BEC)were identi-fied as independent risk factors for eosinophilic asthma,which were all included in the nomogram.CONCLUSION:A combination assessment including age,FeNOx serum IgE and BEC could be applicable to clinicians in identifying eosinophilic asthma and is easier,faster,more inexpensive and more readily available than the induced sputum test.

Objective To develop a postoperative precision nursing program for children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS),so as to provide references for the improvement of nursing quality for children with OSAHS.Methods Literature in precision nursing for children with OSAHS was systematically reviewed and summarised based on precision nursing theory and a postoperative precision nursing program was drafted.Using the Delphi's Method,two rounds of expert consultation were conducted and the postoperative precision nursing program for children with OSAHS was revised and finalised.Results The response rates of the two rounds of expert consultation were 100.00%with the expert authority coefficient of 0.875.The Kendall coefficient of concordance(W)of levels 1,2 and 3 indices in the second round of expert consultation were 0.289,0.203,0.187,respectively(all P<0.01).The importance score of each inclicator ranged from 4.50～4.94.The coefficient of variations for the three-level indices ranged from 0.05 to 0.21.The finalised program composed 8 level-1 indices(postoperative position assessment,intervention,prevention and care of bleeding,maintaining postoperative airway patency,postoperative nausea and vomiting care,postoperative pain assessment and care,dietary care,complication prevention and care,discharge guidance),16 level-2 indices,and 22 level-3 indices.Conclusion The postoperative precision nursing program for the children with OSAHS is scientific,innovative and applicable.It provides clinical references for nursing of the children with OSAHS.

The theoretical basis of premature aging originates from The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. The etiology of premature aging is complex， and the disease mechanism is based on deficiency. The treatment for premature aging is based on tonicity. The essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine summarizes that "essence is the origin of life， Qi is the driving force of life， and spirit is the embodiment of life"， which is the law of life. The theory puts forward the core disease mechanism of aging， which states that "deficiency of kidney essence is the root of aging， deficiency of primordial Qi is the key to aging， impairment of soma and spirit is the manifestation of aging". The theory also proposes the treatment of "tonifying kidney and supplementing essence， harmonizing Yin and Yang， warming and supporting primordial Qi， and nourishing soma and spirit" and the representative anti-aging drugs. The article unfolds from the perspective of the concepts of natural life span， premature senility before fifty， decline， and aging and also explains the origins and connotations of premature aging. The article explains the disease mechanism of premature aging under the guidance of the essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine， which is "early deprivation of kidney essence， deficiency of primordial Qi， accumulation of deficiencies into impairment， and decline and impairment of soma and spirit"， summarizes the progress of modern medical research on the treatment of premature aging and representative drugs， and finds that Bazi Bushen capsules have a precise therapeutic effect on the overall premature aging， systematic functional decline， and related diseases. The study provides theoretical basis and new ideas to solve the problems of premature aging and geriatric diseases.

Objective To investigate the regulatory role and mechanism of mitochondrial riboso-mal protein S35(MRPS35)in the proliferation,invasion,and migration of colon cancer cells.Meth-ods A total of 120 colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues from patients undergoing radical resection for colon cancer were collected.Human colon cancer cell lines(HCT116,SW480,SW620)and a human normal colon epithelial cell line(NCM460)were cultured.Bioinformatics analysis,real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction,Western blot,immunohistochemical(IHC)analysis,and cellular functional experiments(plate clone formation assay,scratch test,Transwell migration assay,CCK-8 cell viability assay)were conducted to evaluate the expression and regulatory mechanism of MRPS35 in colon cancer.Results Bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression level of the MRPS35 gene was higher in colorectal cancer tissues than in adjacent normal tissues(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of MRPS35 mRNA and MRPS35 protein were higher in human colon cancer cell lines(HCT116,SW480,SW620)than in NCM460 cells(P＜0.05).The relative ex-pression level of MRPS35 protein was higher in colon cancer tissues than that in adjacent normal tis-sues(P＜0.05).The expression level of MRPS35 was significantly correlated with tumor diameter,tumor differentiation,and T stage(P=0.002,0.021,0.036).Patients with high MRPS35 expres-sion had a higher overall survival rate than those with low MRPS35 expression(Log-rank P=0.015).After knockdown of MRPS35,the abilities of colon cancer cell cloning,proliferation,invasion,and migration were significantly enhanced.Furthermore,the expression of Wnt1,β-Catenin,and their downstream target proteins increased significantly after MRPS35 knockdown.Conclusion MRPS35 is significantly overexpressed in both colon cancer tissues and colon cancer cells,and it may inhibit the occurrence and development of colon cancer by regulating the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway.Therefore,MRPS35 has the potential to become a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for colon cancer.

Objective:To analyze the results of next generation sequencing (NGS) gene testing in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma cavity and evaluate the clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment.Methods:Liquid based cytological specimens of 222 cases of lung adenocarcinoma with cavity effusion and 201 cases of metastatic lymph node biopsy were collected. Specimens were obtained from the Cytology Laboratory of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The collection period was from January 2018 to December 2022. The results of NGS gene detection were compared. The clinical efficacy of 91 patients treated with EGFR-TKI was evaluated, and the survival curve was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and other statistical methods.Results:The mutation rates of cancer-related genes detected by NGS were 82.0% (182/222) vs 79.1% (159/201), ( P=0.455) in liquid-based cytological specimens and histological specimens of metastatic lymph node biopsy, respectively. However, the mutation rate of EGFR T790M was significantly higher in cavity effusion than in lymph node biopsy specimens [12.2%(27/222)＞3.5%(7/201), P=0.001]. The results of gene mutation were identical in 10 of the 13 cases with cavity effusion and metastatic lymph node biopsy, and the agreement rate of EGFR was 84.6%(11/13). In 3 inconsistent cases, EGFR mutations were detected in 2 cavity effusion cases that were not detected by lymph node biopsy. Results of genetic analysis of fluid-based cytological samples of 91 patients with cavity effusion were evaluated after drug treatment with EGFR-TKI. The mean progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients was 11.4 months (95% CI: 9.9-12.9). The mean PFS of patients harboring EGFR mutation was 12.3 months (95% CI: 10.8-13.9), and the mean PFS of EGFR wild type was 4.1 months (95% CI: 2.1-6.2). Conclusions:The results of NGS gene detection in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients with cavity effusion show that the PFS time is similar to that of histological specimens after clinical treatment with EGFR-TKI, which proves the reliability of NGS gene detection results in liquid cytological specimens. NGS gene testing appears higher sensitivity in cavity liquid-based samples than in metastatic lymph node samples.
