Acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACMP) is one of the most common gas poisonings in the emergency department, with tens of thousands of people seeking medical attention for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning each year. The severity of poisoning is dependent upon environmental and human factors, with hypoxia and oxidative stress being important mechanisms of cardiac toxicity induced by CO. Myocardial involvement is common in moderate to severe ACMP, including myocardial injury, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and sudden death, which are associated with a high risk of death. Ferroptosis is a cell death mechanism caused by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation (LPO), although ferroptosis has been shown to play a critical role in various cardiovascular diseases, the potential mechanism by which it contributes to ACMP-induced myocardial injury is unclear. This review discusses the established link between ferroptosis and cardiovascular disease and summarizes the potential role of ferroptosis in ACMP-induced myocardial injury and the detrimental effects of ACMP on the heart. Elucidating these mechanisms could guide the development of novel therapeutic strategies that target ferroptosis to mitigate ACMP-induced myocardial injury. This review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for future research on the potential use of ferroptosis as a therapeutic target for ACMP-induced myocardial injury.

Objective:To investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of split liver transplantation (SLT) in clinical application.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. The clinical data of 203 consecutive SLT, 79 living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and 1 298 whole liver transplantation (WLT) performed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2014 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Two hundred and three SLT liver grafts were obtained from 109 donors. One hundred and twenty-seven grafts were generated by in vitro splitting and 76 grafts were generated by in vivo splitting. There were 90 adult recipients and 113 pediatric recipients. According to time, SLT patients were divided into two groups: the early SLT group (40 cases, from July 2014 to December 2017) and the mature SLT technology group (163 cases, from January 2018 to July 2023). The survival of each group was analyzed and the main factors affecting the survival rate of SLT were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis.Results:The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3-, and 5-year were 74.58%, 71.47%, and 71.47% in the early SLT group, and 88.03%, 87.23%, and 87.23% in the mature SLT group, respectively. Survival rates in the mature SLT group were significantly higher than those in the early SLT group ( χ2=5.560, P=0.018). The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3- and 5-year were 93.41%, 93.41%, 89.95% in the LDLT group and 87.38%, 81.98%, 77.04% in the WLT group, respectively. There was no significant difference among the mature SLT group, the LDLT group and the WLT group ( χ2=4.016, P=0.134). Abdominal hemorrhage, infection, primary liver graft nonfunction,and portal vein thrombosis were the main causes of early postoperative death. Conclusion:SLT can achieve results comparable to those of WLT and LDLT in mature technology liver transplant centers, but it needs to go through a certain time learning curve.

Objective To explore the effect of sleep duration and body mass index(BMI)on hypertension.Methods The data was collected from the database of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS),and the data of the 2015 National Longitudinal Study were selected.A total of 8,889 subjects were included in this study.Questionnaires,health status,physical examination and laboratory information were collect-ed.The interactive effect of sleep duration and BMI on hypertension was analyzed by multiplicative model and addi-tive model.Results The prevalence rate of hypertension was 28.86%.Logistic regression results showed that night sleep duration＜6 h(OR=1.138,95%CI:1.024-1.265)and＞8 h(OR=1.1365,95%CI:1.167-1.598);overweight(OR=1.736,95%CI:1.557-1.936)and obesity(OR=2.076,95%CI:1.973-2.710)were all risk factors for hypertension(P＜0.05).Stratified results showed that the risk of hypertension in the normal group was 1.193(95%CI:1.023-1.393)times and 1.555(95%CI:1.244-1.943)times of those with sleep du-ration 6-8 h,respectively.The risk of hypertension was 1.392(95%CI:1.066-1.818)times higher than that of sleep duration 6-8 h.The interaction showed that night sleep duration and BMI had a multiplicative interaction(OR=2.120,95%CI:1.767-2.543)and a additive interaction on hypertension[RERI=1.242(95%CI:0.326-2.157),SI=3.697(95%CI:2.658-5.143),AP=0.460(95%CI:0.324-0.595)].Conclusions Insufficient and excessive sleep duration at night and BMI both increase the risk of hypertension,and have a mul-tiplicative and additive interaction.Reasonable adjustment of nighttime sleep duration and BMI may prevent the occurrence of hypertension.

Objective To investigate the effect of different doses of esketamine combined with hydromorphone postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)on depression in elderly pa-tients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.Methods A total of 180 elderly patients,44 males and 136 fe-males,aged 65-80 years,BMI 18.5-35.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,undergoing total knee arthroplasty(TKA)under elective general anesthesia combined with adductor block from J uly 2023 to Sep-tember 2023.Patients were divided into three groups by random number table method;control group(group C),esketamine 0.5 mg/kg group(group E1),and esketamine 1.0 mg/kg group(group E2),60 patients in each group.After operation,groups C,E1 and E2 were given hydromorphone 0.2 mg/kg,esketamine 0.5 mg/kg combined with hydromorphone 0.2 mg/kg,and esketamine 1.0 mg/kg combined with hydromor-phone 0.2 mg/kg to receive PCIA,respectively,and the three groups were diluted to 100 ml with normal saline.Parameters were set as follows.The background infusion rate was 1.5 ml/h,and the single press dose was 1.5 ml,and the locking time was 15 minutes.If the VAS pain score at rest was greater than or equal to 4 points and the analgesic effect of pressing the PCIA pump was not effective,then intramuscular injection of tramadol 0.1 g was used for remedial analgesia.Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)score was performed 1 day,3 and 7 days after surgery.Depressive state was classified as having HAMD score ≥ 8 points.VAS pain scores at rest were performed 1 day,3 and 7 days after surgery.The number of depression within 7 days after surgery,the number of effective(D1)and total(D2)pump compressions and D1/D2 within 3 days after surgery,the number of rescue analgesia,the occurrence of adverse reactions such as tra-madol dosage,dizziness,headache,multiple dreams,hallucinations,nausea and vomiting were recorded.Results Twenty-one patients(35％)in group C experienced depression,7 patients(12％)in group E1,and 8 patients(13％)in group E2 during 3 days after surgery.Eight patients(13％)in group C experi-enced depression,1 patients(2％)in group E1,and 2 patients(3％)in group E2 during 7 days after sur-gery.Compared with group C,the incidence of depression 3 and 7 days after surgery,rescue analgesia rate in group E1 were significantly decreased,the incidence of depression 3 and 7 days after surgery,dizziness,headache,and dreaminess within 3 days after surgery in group E2 were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the incidence of depression and VAS pain scores between group El and group E2 at 1,3,and 7 days after surgery.Conclusion Esketamine 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg for PCIA in elderly patients after TKA can improve postoperative depression,while esketamine 1.0 mg/kg can reduce the incidence of postoperative dizziness,headache,and multiple dreams.

After partial adjustments, a blood quality monitoring indicator system was formed. 【Conclusion】 A blood quality monitoring indicator system covering the whole process of blood collection and supply has been established for the first time, which can effectively evaluate the quality management level of blood banks and coordinate blood quality control activities of blood banks in Shandong like pieces in a chess game, thus improving the standardized management level

【Objective】 To objectively evaluate the quality control level of blood testing process in blood banks through quantitative monitoring and trend analysis, and to promote the homogenization level and standardized management of blood testing laboratories in blood banks. 【Methods】 A quality monitoring indicator system covering the whole process of blood collection and supply, including blood donation service, blood component preparation, blood testing, blood supply and quality control was established. The questionnaire Quality Monitoring Indicators for Blood Collection and Supply Process with clear definition of indicators and calculation formulas was distributed to 17 blood banks in Shandong province. Quality monitoring indicators of each blood bank from January to December 2022 were collected, and 31 indicators in terms of blood testing were analyzed using SPSS25.0 software. 【Results】 The proportion of unqualified serological tests in 17 blood bank laboratories was 55.84% for ALT, 13.63% for HBsAg, 5.08% for anti HCV, 5.62% for anti HIV, 18.18% for anti TP, and 1.65% for other factors (mainly sample quality). The detection unqualified rate and median were (1.23±0.57)% and 1.11%, respectively. The ALT unqualified rate and median were (0.74±0.53)% and 0.60%, respectively. The detection unqualified rate was positively correlated with ALT unqualified rate (r=0.974, P<0.05). The unqualified rate of HBsAg, anti HCV, anti HIV and anti TP was (0.15±0.09)%, (0.05±0.04)%, (0.06±0.03)% and (0.20±0.05)% respectively. The average unqualified rate, average hemolysis rate, average insufficient volume rate and the abnormal hematocrit rate of samples in 17 blood bank laboratories was 0.21‰, 0.08‰, 0.01‰ and 0.02‰ respectively. There were differences in the retest concordance rates of four HBsAg, anti HCV and anti HIV reagents, and three anti TP reagents among 17 blood bank laboratories (P<0.05). The usage rate of ELISA reagents was (114.56±3.30)%, the outage rate of ELISA was (10.23±7.05) ‰, and the out of range rate of ELISA was (0.90±1.17) ‰. There was no correlation between the out of range rate, outrage rate and usage rate (all P>0.05), while the outrage rate was positively correlated with the usage rate (r=0.592, P<0.05). A total of 443 HBV DNA positive samples were detected in all blood banks, with an unqualified rate of 3.78/10 000; 15 HCV RNA positive samples were detected, with an unqualified rate of 0.13/10 000; 5 HIV RNA positive samples were detected, with an unqualified rate of 0.04/10 000. The unqualified rate of NAT was (0.72±0.04)‰, the single NAT reaction rate [(0.39±0.02)‰] was positively correlated with the single HBV DNA reaction rate [ (0.36±0.02) ‰] (r=0.886, P<0.05). There was a difference in the discriminated reactive rate by individual NAT among three blood bank laboratories (C, F, H) (P<0.05). The median resolution rate of 17 blood station laboratories by minipool test was 36.36%, the median rate of invalid batch of NAT was 0.67%, and the median rate of invalid result of NAT was 0.07‰. The consistency rate of ELISA dual reagent detection results was (99.63±0.24)%, and the median length of equipment failure was 14 days. The error rate of blood type testing in blood collection department was 0.14‰. 【Conclusion】 The quality monitoring indicator system for blood testing process in Shandong can monitor potential risks before, during and after the experiment, and has good applicability, feasibility, and effectiveness, and can facilitate the continuous improvement of laboratory quality control level. The application of blood testing quality monitoring indicators will promote the homogenization and standardization of blood quality management in Shandong, and lay the foundation for future comprehensive evaluations of blood banks.
