Objective: To statistically analyze the association between blood donation intervals and the incidence of adverse reactions to blood donation based on blood donor data from Shenzhen. Methods: Basic data and records of adverse reactions to blood donation among voluntary whole blood donors in Shenzhen from January 2017 to June 2025 were extracted. A total of 795 404 whole blood donations were recorded, including 502 743 from males and 292 661 from females, with 1 088 and 751 cases of adverse reactions, respectively. Analyses were performed using R software, including restricted cubic spline (RCS), binary logistic regression, and generalized estimating equations (GEE) to evaluate the correlation between donation intervals and adverse reactions. Results: A total of 1 839 cases of adverse reactions were recorded, accounting for 0.23% of the total donations. Both binary logistic regression analysis and the generalized estimating equations (GEE) model showed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between male and female donors with an interval of ≥6 months compared to those with an interval of ≥3 months but<6 months. Furthermore, using the 3-5 month interval group as the reference, the analysis indicated that the incidence of adverse reactions significantly increased in males with a 9-12 month interval, while no statistically significant differences were observed across any of the female subgroups. Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between adverse reactions to blood donation and the donation interval. Compared with a donation interval of ≥6 months, an interval of<6 months does not lead to an increase in the incidence of adverse reactions among male or female donors. The findings of this study may help enhance the willingness of blood donors to participate.

Objective: To statistically analyze the association between blood donor age and the incidence of adverse reactions based on whole blood donor data from Shenzhen. Methods: Data on basic characteristics and records of adverse donation reactions among voluntary whole blood donors in Shenzhen from January 2017 to June 2025 were extracted. A total of 795 404 whole blood donations were recorded, including 502 743 from males and 292 661 from females, with 1 088 and 751 cases of adverse reactions, respectively. Analyses were performed using R software, including restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, binary logistic regression, and generalized estimating equations (GEE) to evaluate the correlation between donor age and adverse reactions. Results: A total of 1 839 cases of adverse reactions were recorded, accounting for 0.23% of the total donations. Both binary logistic regression and GEE model revealed that, compared with the≤55 years age group, the incidence of adverse reactions was reduced in both male and female donors in the >55 years age group, with the difference being statistically significant in males. Using the <23 years age group as a reference, the incidence of adverse reactions significantly decreased in both male and female donors across the 23-30, 31-40, 41-50, and 51-60 age groups, with the differences being statistically significant. Conclusion: There is a negative correlation between the rate of adverse donation reactions and age, with the incidence of such reactions among whole blood donors over 55 years old being no higher than that among donors aged 55 years or younger. These findings carry positive significance for safeguarding the donation rights of older donors and meeting clinical blood demand.

BackgroundThe mental health issues of medical staff have received increasing attention. Previous studies have mainly focused on the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors， but there is a lack of sufficient understanding of the heterogeneity characteristics of the depression-anxiety symptoms network among medical staff. ObjectiveTo compare the differences in the depression-anxiety symptoms network between medical staff and community residents， so as to provide references for the promotion of the mental health of medical staff. MethodsFrom June 1， 2022 to December 31， 2024， a stratified random sampling method was used to recruit 1 959 medical staff from public hospitals and community health centers in 9 townships （industrial parks） of Dongguan City， Guangdong Province， as well as 2 412 community residents in this area， were selected as the research subjects. The general situation questionnaire， Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）， and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item （GAD-7） were used for investigation. The network visualization was conducted using the qgraph package of R 4.0.0. The centrality indicators of the network were calculated using the networktools package. The reliability of the network structure was evaluated using the bootnet package. The differences in the depression-anxiety symptoms network between medical staff and community residents were compared using the NetworkComparisionTest package. ResultsA total of 1 792 medical staff and 2 110 community residents completed the survey. The numbers of medical staff with mild， moderate and severe depressive symptoms were 381 （21.26%）， 217 （12.11%） and 169 （9.43%）， respectively， while the numbers of community residents were 322 （15.26%）， 98 （4.64%） and 66 （3.13%）， respectively. The numbers of medical staff with mild， moderate and severe anxiety symptoms were 411 （22.94%）， 126 （7.03%） and 93 （5.19%）， respectively， while the numbers of community residents were 320 （15.17%）， 73 （3.46%） and 18 （0.85%）， respectively. The comparison of the detection rates of depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms between the two groups showed statistically significant differences （χ²=152.012， 205.953， P<0.01）. The network analysis results showed that the core symptom clusters of medical staff were "uncontrollable worry" "psychomotor retardation" "inability to relax"， and "depression"， while those of community residents were "uncontrollable worry" "inability to relax" "inferiority complex"， and "depression". There was a statistically significant difference in the network structure between the two groups （M=0.275， P<0.05）， and the overall connection strength of medical staff was lower than that of community residents （7.523 vs. 7.950， S=0.426， P<0.05）. ConclusionThe detection rates of depression and anxiety symptoms among medical staff were higher than those among community residents. The depression-anxiety symptoms network of medical staff was more concentrated， and the core symptoms were more prominent.［Funded by Social Development and Technology Project of Dongguan City （number， 20221800902552）］

Objective:To explore the relationship between the lesions of white matter in magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and the cognitive impairment in patients with depression.Methods:A total of 80 patients with depression who admitted to emergency general hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively collected.According to whether there were lesions of brain white matter,they were divided into study group(38 cases with lesions)and control group(42 cases without lesions).Results:There were significant differences in age,years of receiving education,and total course of disease between study group and control group(t=2.84,2.62,2.19,P<0.05).The scores of attention and computational ability,memory,naming,attention/concentration,language and visual spatial skills,and total score of MoCA score were respectively(2.56±0.50,2.35±0.30,3.22±1.30,2.12±0.59,1.17±0.35,1.10±0.30,1.35±0.35,13.87±1.81)in study group,all of which were significantly lower than those(3.10±0.55,2.60±0.35,4.01±1.65,2.60±0.58,1.40±0.55,1.40±0.84,1.80±0.79,16.91±2.10)in control group,and the differences of them between two groups were statistically significant(t=4.578,3.412,2.361,3.666,2.205,2.084,3.234,6.900,P<0.05).There were correlations between the lesion of brain white in MRI and the Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)score,between that and age,between that and years of receiving education,between that and total course of disease,and between that and Hamilton depression rating scale(HAMD)score in patients with depression(OR=2.19,0.93,1.11,0.89,1.31,P<0.05).The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that MoCA score and lesions of brain white matter in MRI had independent effects on cognitive impairment of patients with depression.Conclusion:The lesion of brain white matter is an important factor for cognitive impairment in patients with depression.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect and mechanism of astragalus polysaccharide on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced periodontitis in vivo and in vitro.Methods Ligation/LPS induction was used to construct a mouse model of periodontitis,and LPS treatment was used to establish a periodontitis cellular model.After administration of astragalus polysaccharide intervention,hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to detect pathological damage in mouse periodontal tissues,and kits were used to detect reactive oxygen species(ROS)and malondialdehyde(MDA)content as well as oxidative stress-related indexes such as superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT)activities,and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)staining was used to detect the formation of osteoclasts in periodontal tissues and the RAW264.7 cell differentiation to osteoblasts,actin cytoskeleton/focal adhesion protein(Vinculin)staining method was used to analyze the formation of F-actin ring in RAW264.7 cells,alkaline phosphatase(ALP)staining and alizarin red S(ARS)staining and ALP activity assays were performed to evaluate the osteoclast formation ability of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(mBMSCs),and Western Blot was used to detect the expression levels of osteoclast-and osteoblast-related proteins.Results Astragali polysaccharide significantly reduced LPS-induced alveolar bone loss and histopathological damage,as well as improved the parameters related to periodontal bone regeneration in mice.Astragalgali polysaccharide reduced ROS production in LPS-induced periodontal ligament cells(mPDLCs),inhibited MDA content and increased SOD and CAT activities in LPS-treated mPDLCs and in periodontal tissues and serum in periodontitis mice.Astragalus polysaccharide decreased TRAP expressions in LPS-treated mouse periodontal tissues and RAW264.7 cells,and F-actin ring formation in RAW264.7 cells.Astragalgali polysaccharide decreased ALP expression and activity in LPS-treated mBMSCs cells,and reduced calcium deposition.In addition,astragalus polysaccharide down-regulated the expressions of osteoclast-related proteins[cathepsin k(CTSK),nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1(NFATcl)and c-Fos]in LPS-inducedRAW264.7 cells,and up-regulated the expressions of osteoblast-related proteins[ALP,runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2),collagen type Ⅰ(COL-1)and DMP1)]in mBMSCs.Conclusion Astragalus polysaccharide can alleviates LPS-induced periodontitis by inhibiting oxidative stress and promoting ERK/AMPK pathway-mediated bone formation capacity.

Meckel′s cartilage (MC) was first delineated in 1820 by the German anatomist Johann Friedrich Meckel the Younger through his examination of human embryos. During early development, MC functions as a supportive structure for the mandible and serves as a template for the subsequent formation of the jaw bones. Ultimately, MC transforms into either skeletal tissue, ligaments, or completely resorbs, integrating with the continuously developing osseous structures. This review elucidates the influence of MC development and degeneration on mandibular morphogenesis, delineating cellular processes and key factors that govern chondrogenic fate determination. The analysis reveals how the alterations of MC affect mandibular and craniofacial development. As a transient cartilaginous structure, investigation into MC may yield valuable insights for understanding oral and craniomaxillofacial pathologies.

Objective:To investigate disease characteristics of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) based on the PsA cohort in West China Hospital, so as to provide a reference for clinicians in its diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation strategy formulation.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out, and a descriptive analysis was conducted on clinical data from PsA patients who were treated at the Department of Dermatology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between April 2, 2020, and January 21, 2025. Demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging findings, and treatment modalities were analyzed.Results:A total of 530 PsA patients were included, of whom 332 (62.6%) were males and 198 (37.4%) were females, with ages of 44.1 ± 12.4 years. Skin lesions preceded joint symptoms in 452 patients (85.3%), with time intervals ( M [ Q1, Q3]) of 8.0 (3.0, 15.0) years. Overweight or obesity was observed in 319 patients (60.2%), and 188 (35.5%) had comorbid fatty liver. Peripheral joint involvement was common (485 cases, 91.5%), with the proximal interphalangeal joints being most frequently affected by tenderness (172 cases, 35.5%) and swelling (119 cases, 24.5%) ; the number of enthesitis cases identified by ultrasonography (116 cases, 23.9%) was significantly higher than that by clinical examination (82 cases, 15.5%) ; axial joint involvement was observed in 258 patients (48.7%), with the sacroiliac joints most commonly affected (201 cases, 77.9%). Regarding treatment, conventional systemic drugs were predominant in the treatment of psoriasis prior to the diagnosis of PsA; after the diagnosis of PsA, the number of patients receiving targeted therapies increased to 334 (63.0%), with interleukin-17 inhibitors being the most common (140 cases, 26.4%), followed by tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (106 cases, 20.0%) and Janus kinase inhibitors (39 cases, 7.4%) . Conclusions:PsA predominantly affects males over 40 years old and is characterized by preceding skin lesions, delayed diagnosis, and multiple comorbidities. High-frequency ultrasound has advantages in the early detection of peripheral enthesitis. Further attention is needed for managing comorbidities such as fatty liver and obesity-related metabolic conditions.

Purpose To explore the pathological characteristics,diagnosis,and differential diagnosis of pure ery-throid leukemia(PEL).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinicopathological data of 12 cases of PEL.Immunohistochemical EnVision method and flow cytometry were used to detect PEL-related immune markers,and heat-treated Giemsa R-banding technique was applied to analyze the chromosomal karyotype.Results Peripheral blood and bone marrow smears revealed that 2 out of 7 cases showed presence of proerythroblast in peripheral blood,and 7 out of 12 cases showed atypical proerythroblast in bone marrow samples.After recounting,the average percentage of proerythroblast in the 12 PEL cases was 36.8％(ranging from 2％to 69.5％),with an average of 53.2％of all er-ythroid cells(ranging from 5％to 88％).Among them,9 cases did not meet the diagnostic criteria for PEL.Bone marrow biopsy:11 cases showed hypercellularity,with tumor cells showing diffuse proliferation in 9 cases,accompa-nied by dysplasia of megakaryocytes in 7 cases,and there was increased proliferation of fibrous tissue in 9 cases.Im-munohistochemistry:12 cases exhibited strong staining intensity for CD71 and E-cadherin.11 cases expressed CD117,while 4 cases expressed CD34,3 cases exhibited slight expression of GPA,and 1 case weakly expressed CD61.Flow cytometry:in 8 cases,there was an increased proportion of early-stage erythroid cells,accounting for 3.1％to 80.31％of nucleated cells,with an average of 31.0％.All cases expressed CD117 and CD71 to varying degrees,with 7 out of 8 cases expressing CD36,5 out of 7 cases expressing CD105,and 3 out of 4 cases expressing GPA.A few ca-ses demonstrated aberrant expression of CD123 and CD7.Chromosomal Karyotyping:7 cases exhibited highly complex karyotypes(7/8),with frequent involvement of chromosomes 5,7,8,17,and 19.One case had a normal karyotype.Conclusion The diagnosis of PEL requires a comprehensive assessment combining various methods including bone marrow smears,bone marrow biopsy,immunohistochemistry,and flow cytometry.
