[Objective] To validate and optimize the platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) prediction model for patients with hematological disorders established by our center. [Methods] The data of patients with hematological diseases who received platelet transfusions from December 2021 to December 2022 were used as the training set, and data from January 2023 to December 2023 as the validation set. The validation set data was used to validate the predictive model constructed on the training set. Relevant risk factors for PTR were collected through literature review and preliminary studies。 The patients were divided into effective and ineffective groups according to the corrected count increment (CCI) of platelet counts. Predictive factors were screened using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The calibration of the model were assessed via calibration curves, while discrimination, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves Clinical utility was further analyzed with decision curve analysis (DCA). [Results] The Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test for the validation set yielded S: P=0.000, indicating that the original model needs optimization. Baseline comparisons and logistic regression identified the number of red blood cell units (RBCU) and platelet units (PLT-U) transfused as key predictors for the optimized model. The H-L goodness-of-fit test S: P values for the training and validation sets were 0.930 and 0.056, respectively; the ROC areas were 0.793 5 and 0.809 4, specificities 90.95% and 84.21%, sensitivities 59.26% and 70.04%, and accuracies 78.14% and 74.10%, respectively. DCA demonstrated clinical net benefit within a prediction probability threshold range of 0.2-0.8. [Conclusion] Transfusion volumes of RBC-U and PLT-U were inversely associated with PTR in hematological patients. The resulting PTR prediction model exhibits moderate predictive efficacy and clinical benefit.

ObjectiveBased on the concept of quality by design（QbD）， the processing process of calcined Pyritum was optimized， and its X-ray diffraction（XRD） fingerprint was established. MethodsThe safety， effectiveness and quality controllability of calcined Pyritum were taken as the quality profile（QTPP）， the color， hardness， metallic luster， phase composition， the contents of heavy metals and hazardous elements were taken as the critical quality attributes（CQAs）， and the calcination temperature， calcination time， paving thickness and particle size were determined as the critical process parameters（CPPs）. Differential thermal analysis， X-ray diffraction（XRD） and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry（ICP-MS） were used to analyze the correlation between the calcination temperature and CQAs of calcined Pyritum. Then， based on the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation（CRITIC）-entropy weight method， the optimal processing process of calcined Pyritum was optimized by orthogonal test. Powder XRD was used to analyze the phase of calcined Pyritum samples processed according to the best process， and the mean and median maps of calcined Pyritum were established by the superposition of geometric topological figures， and similarity evaluation and cluster analysis were carried out. ResultsThe results of single factor experiments showed that the physical phase of Pyritum changed from FeS₂ to Fe₇S₈ during the process of temperature increase， the color gradually deepened from dark yellow， and the contents of heavy metals and harmful elements decreased. The optimized processing process of calcined Pyritum was as follows：calcination temperature at 750 ℃， calcination time of 2.5 h， paving thickness of 3 cm， particle size of 0.8-1.2 cm， vinegar quenching 1 time［Pyritum-vinegar（10∶3）］. After calcination， the internal structure of Pyritum was honeycomb-shaped， which was conducive to the dissolution of active ingredients. XRD fingerprints of 13 batches of calcined Pyritum characterized by 10 common peaks were established. The similarities of the relative peak intensities of the XRD fingerprints of the analyzed samples were>0.96， and it could effectively distinguish the raw products and unqualified products. ConclusionTemperature is the main factor affecting the quality of calcined Pyritum. After processing， the dissolution of the effective components in Pyritum increases， and the contents of heavy metals and harmful substances decrease， reflecting the function of processing to increase efficiency and reduce toxicity. The optimized processing process is stable and feasible， and the established XRD fingerprint can be used as one of the quality control standards of calcined Pyritum.

Objective To address the challenges in human-robot interaction control for lower limb rehabilitation exoskeletons by optimizing gait pattern design and compliance control strategies,thereby enhancing the safety,comfort,and precision of rehabilitation training.Methods Rhythmic dynamic movement primitives were utilized to generate personalized gait trajectories,combined with an admittance control strategy to design a trajectory tracking controller.This controller adjusted control parameters in real time to guide the user's gait towards the desired trajectory,reduce interaction torque,improve gait consistency,and ensure safety and effectiveness during rehabilitation training.Results Walking experiments with three participants using the lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton demonstrated that,compared to transparent mode,the trajectory tracking mode reduced the root mean square error(RMSE)of hip and knee joint angle trajectories from 7.24° and 13.25° to 3.01° and 4.76°,respectively.The mean absolute error(MAE)decreased from 6.35° and 11.17° to 2.54° and 3.50°,respectively.The absolute mean interaction torque decreased from 3.55 N·m and 3.42 N·m to 2.80 N·m and 1.86 N·m.These results validated that the trajectory tracking controller significantly improved gait consistency and comfort.Conclusions The application of rhythmic dynamic movement primitives combined with compliance control strategies in lower limb rehabilitation exoskeletons shows great potential,providing patients with a safer and more personalized rehabilitation experience.

This study was aimed at analyzing the epidemiological and drug resistance characteristics of tuberculosis at a desig-nated tuberculosis hospital in Hunan Province in 2024.Patients diagnosed with TB at the hospital between April and October 2024 were included in the study.Demographic data,clinical information,and drug sensitivity test results were collected from the hospital′s electronic medical record system.Descriptive statistics,the chi-square test,and logistic regression were used to analyze the epidemic characteristics,drug resistance characteristics,and factors influencing tuberculosis.Whole genome sequencing of isolates was per-formed,and lineage classification and drug resistance gene mutations were detected with TB-Profiler.The male-to-female ratio was 2.72∶1,and the median age was 56(IQR:43-66)years.Among the 391 patients,most were farmers(46.8%,183/391)and were pri-marily from Changsha(41.1%,162/391).Significant differences were observed in sex and occupation between pulmonary tuberculosis(PTB)and extrapulmonary tuberculosis(EPTB).The overall prevalence of any type of drug resistance of tuberculosis was 33.25%,and the multidrug resistance TB(MDR-TB)and poly-drug resistance(PR-TB)rates were 14.23%and 4.35%,respectively.The re-sistance rates to rifampicin(RIF),isoniazid(INH),ethambutol(EMB),and streptomycin(SM)were 17.90%,22.25%,6.39%,and 20.20%,respectively.Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that both diabetes(OR:2.295,95%CI:1.082-4.866)and retreatment(OR:17.822,95%CI:8.343-38.072)were risk factors for developing MDR-TB.Lineage 2(L2)strains accounted for 64.40%(136/191),whereas lineage 4(L4)accounted for 28.80%(55/191).The most common drug resistance mutations were katG Ser315Thr(62.50%,20/32)for INH,rpoB Ser450Leu(50.00%,12/24)for RIF,embB Met306Val(55.56%,5/9)for EMB,and rpsL Lys43Arg(80.95%,34/42)for SM.In conclusion,TB drug resistance was found to be a serious problem at a designated tu-berculosis hospital in Hunan in 2024.Strengthening the treatment and management of patients infected with L2 strains,those with co-morbid diabetes,and retreatment cases is crucial for preventing and controlling the emergence of drug-resistant TB.

Objective:To investigate the laboratory detection methods for immune hemolytic transfusion reactions caused by anti-tigecycline antibody and the clinical diagnosis and treatment of one patient.Methods:The correlation between hemolysis-related laboratory indexes of the patient and the duration of medication was analyzed. Blood samples of the patient were tested using direct anti-human globulin test, free antibody test, and release test. Erythrocyte sensitization method and immune complexome analysis were used to detect the antibody against tigecycline in the serum of the patient. The properties and the titers of anti-tigecycline antibody were analyzed.Results:Anti-tigecycline antibody was found in the patient through the erythrocyte sensitization method and the immune complexome analysis, and the result of the direct anti-human globulin test was positive. The clinical symptoms and physical signs of the patient improved rapidly after withdrawal of tigecycline and blood transfusion. The patient was discharged after 14-day treatment with immunoglobulin and hormone.Conclusions:Tigecycline can cause hemolytic transfusion reactions. Serological tests are essential for the diagnosis of drug-induced hemolytic anemia. Withdrawal of medications and symptomatic treatment should be conduceted immediately when patients develop drug-related hemolytic anemia.
