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.

Objective: Some regions in China have lowered the minimum interval for whole blood donation to 3 months through local regulations: Hainan, effective from March 1, 2012, allows men to donate at intervals of≥3 months and women at intervals of≥4 months; Shenzhen, effective from November 1, 1995, allows whole blood donation at intervals of≥3 months. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of shortening the whole blood donation interval on blood donation adverse reactions and donation behavior, thereby providing scientific evidence for policy evaluation and revision of relevant regulations. Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study based on blood donation registry data from Shenzhen and Hainan. Data were obtained from the blood information management systems of Hainan Province (1991-2025) and Shenzhen City (2018-2024). Eligible participants were donors aged 18-65 years who had donated whole blood at least twice and met health eligibility criteria. The exposure was defined as a shorter donation interval (whole-blood interval≥3 months and<6 months) and was treated as a time-varying variable. The primary outcome was blood donation adverse reactions. Negative binomial regression with person-years as an offset was used to estimate incidence rate ratios for adverse reactions. Marginal standardization was used to estimate the adjusted incidence rate difference, and donor-level bootstrap resampling was used to estimate the 95% confidence interval of the adjusted incidence rate difference. Non-inferiority was assessed by comparing the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval with the prespecified non-inferiority margin of Δ=0.00 070 per person-year. In addition, Andersen-Gill models were used to analyze adverse reaction-free probability for recurrent events. Secondary outcomes were donation behavior, including annual repeat donation rate, annual donation frequency, mean donation interval, and annual whole-blood donation volume. These were analyzed using logistic regression, negative binomial regression, and linear regression models, respectively, with adjustment for age, sex, region, and donation site. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institute of Blood Transfusion, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Approval No.2025011) and registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2500114968). Results: A total of 375 075 repeat whole-blood donors were included, contributing 1 292 748 whole-blood donations. Among them, 119 993 had ever donated at a shorter interval and 255 082 had never done so. Over 1 281 842 person-years of follow-up in the dynamic cohort, 2 100 blood donation adverse reactions were recorded. The incidence rates of adverse reactions were 1.76 and 1.58 per 1 000 person-years in the ever-short interval and never-short interval groups, respectively. After adjustment for age, sex, province, and donation site, the ever-short interval group had a slightly higher adverse reaction rate than the never-short interval group (IRR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.15-1.41, P<0.001). Marginal standardization showed that the adjusted incidence rates were 1.73 and 2.21 per 1 000 person-years in the never-short interval and ever-short interval groups, respectively. The adjusted incidence rate difference was 0.000 48 per person-year, with a bootstrap 95%CI of 0.000 26-0.000 69 per person-year; the upper limit of the 95%CI was below the prespecified non-inferiority margin. Andersen-Gill recurrent-event analysis showed that the ever-short interval group had a higher probability of remaining adverse reaction-free. Analysis of donation behavior showed that among donors followed for at least 365 days, the ever-short interval group had a higher annual repeat donation rate than the never-short interval group (74.2% vs 18.3%; adjusted OR=12.5, 95%CI: 12.3-12.7, P<0.001). They also had a higher annual whole-blood donation rate (adjusted RR=1.98, 95%CI: 1.97-1.98, P<0.001), a shorter mean whole-blood donation interval (β=-239 days, 95%CI: -242 to -237 days, P<0.001), and a higher annual whole-blood donation volume (adjusted RR=2.14, 95%CI: 2.13-2.15, P<0.001). Conclusion: Based on real-world data from repeat whole-blood donors in Shenzhen and Hainan, lowering the minimum whole blood donation interval to 3 months did not show an absolute increase in blood donation adverse reactions exceeding the prespecified margin within the scope of this outcome. Shorter whole-blood donation interval behavior was also associated with greater repeat-donation activity, higher annual donation frequency, and higher annual whole-blood donation volume. Given the observational nature of this study and the lack of long-term donor health indicators such as iron status and longitudinal hemoglobin changes, the long-term safety of setting the minimum whole blood donation interval at 3 months requires further evaluation.

Objective:To explore the potential molecular mechanism of modified Bushen Huoxue decoction in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and network pharmacology analysis.Methods:LDH samples were retrieved from GEO, and LDH targets were obtained from Gene Cards, CTD databases combined with GEO chips. The components and targets of modified Bushen Huoxue decoction were obtained by searching the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). STRING was used to draw the drug-component-target interaction network of modified Bushen Huoxue decoction in the treatment of LDH, so as to obtain the potential action targets of modified Bushen Huoxue decoction in the treatment of LDH. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were used to systematically analyze and elaborate the action targets.Results:A total of 23 LDH-related differential genes were identified after screening from GEO dataset GSE146904. A total of 652 potential targets of modified Bushen Huoxue Decoction were obtained from the database, and 45 were selected after screening. A total of 1 121 target genes related to LDH were obtained. By taking the intersection of the targets of modified Bushen Huoxue decoction and LDH disease targets, 8 potential targets of modified Bushen Huoxue decoction in the treatment of LDH were obtained, namely TNF, CASP3, PTGS2, ESR1, ACHE, BCL2, WNT3A, and CCL11. Modified Bushen Huoxue decoction in the treatment of LDH involves key processes such as regulation of metabolism and cell proliferation in the body; among them, cell nucleus, extracellular matrix, and mitochondria are important structures for the body to exert main functions; molecular functions mainly include protein and ion binding, cytokine activity, etc. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis results showed that classical WNT signaling pathway, cytokine signaling in immune system, interleukin-4/interleukin-13 signaling pathway, and apoptosis signaling pathway were key pathways.Conclusions:Modified Bushen Huoxue decoction can mediate immune and inflammatory responses of LDH through multiple targets and pathways, thereby improving LDH symptoms.

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound features modified version 2022 of the Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging Reporting and Data System（O-RADS）Category 4 in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal tumors.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted in 501 cases with ovarian masses classified into 4 categories according to the 2022 version of O-RADS who were collected from 4 clinical centers［the Second Afliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University（188 cases），Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital（146 cases），Sichuan Provincial Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital（90 cases），and Fuling Hospital of Chongqing University（77 cases）］from January 2018 to July 2024 with concomitant surgical resection.The 424 cases from 3 of the clinical centers（the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University，Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital，and Sichuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital）were randomly divided into a training group（339 cases）and an internal validation group（85 cases）according to an 8∶2 randomization，while the cases from the other clinical center（Fuling Hospital of Chongqing University）were selected as the external validation group（77 cases），and the pathological diagnosis was used as the “gold standard”.Univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analyses were performed on the ultrasound characteristics of the training group to screen the independent predictors associated with ovarian carcinogenesis，and to formulate the stratification rules for the 4 types of masses in O-RADS. The ROC curve of this stratification method was plotted and the area under the curve（AUC）was calculated，and it was validated in the internal validation group and the external validation group；and the diagnostic accuracy was compared with that of the 2022 version of O-RADS.Results:Univariate logistic analysis showed that cysts with solid components，≥ 4 papillary projections，smooth inner wall of the cyst，color flow score ≥ 3 points，and acoustic shadowing were independent predictors of ovarian cancer（all P < 0.05）；while multifactorial logistic analysis showed that cysts with a solid component and a color flow score ≥3 points were independent risk factors of ovarian cancer（all P < 0.05），and smooth cyst walls and acoustic shadows were independent protective factors（all P < 0.05）.The diagnostic accuracies of the modified training group，internal validation group，and external validation group were 73.7%，68.2%，70.1%，respectively，which were significantly higher than the diagnostic accuracies of the 2022 version of the O-RADS（38.9%，37.6%，33.8%）（all P < 0.05）.The diagnostic sensitivity，specificity and AUC of the training group were 0.871，0.652，0.762，respectively，while the internal validation group were 0.844，0.585，0.714，and 0.846，0.627，0.737 in the external validation group. Conclusions:Improvement of the 2022 version of O-RADS category 4 using ultrasound features may improve the identification of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal tumors.

Objective In this study,the gas exchange performance and impact patterns of microalgae culture based on hollow fiber membrane technology were investigated for the culture of space microalgae.Methods The effects of parameters and conditions such as gas flow rate,membrane area and liquid flow rate on the CO2 fixation efficiency and fixation rate of hollow fiber membrane modules were studied,and the gas exchange performance of different parameters were compared by fitting formula.Results The gas flow rate and membrane area have a significant effect on the gas exchange performance of the module.With the increase of gas flow rate,the fixation rate of CO2 increases at first and then stabilizes,and the fixation efficiency of CO2 shows a continuous downward trend;with the increase of membrane area,the fixation rate and fixation efficiency of CO2 increase significantly,while the liquid flow rate has no significant effect on the gas exchange performance of the module.The highest CO2 fixation rate was 168.24 mg/(L·h)when the membrane area was 0.3m2 and the gas flow rate was 2.0 L/min.Conclusion The use of hollow fiber membrane technology can solve the problem of two-phase flow management in the gas exchange between algae culture and atmosphere,which has a better effect on gas exchange,and can provide reference for the design of gas exchange module of space microalgae photobioreactor.

Objective: To construct a 5G unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airport platform for blood transportation and explore its feasibility and advantages within the blood emergency support system. Methods: Based on 5G high-speed network transmission technology, a UAV management system was designed to achieve a closed-loop management of the entire transportation process, including blood distribution, route information, flight status, emergency dispatch, hospital reception, real-time temperature monitoring, and video surveillance. Integrated with an open UAV airport, the first "5G UAV Blood Transportation Intelligent Airport Platform" was established. Results: At present, the platform has settled in 2 sets of UAV systems, established 17 routes, and carried out regular UAV blood transportation services for 15 hospitals. From January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, a total of 12 134 sorties were completed, with a total transported blood weight of 7 692.38 kg, including 25 500 units of red blood cells, 3 824.5 units of platelets, 1 350 370 mL of plasma, and 10 810 units of cryoprecipitate. Compared to land transportation, UAV delivery saved an average of 46.8 minutes during rush hours (maximum: 89.3 minutes) and an average of 32.3 minutes during non-rush hours (maximum: 59.1 minutes). In terms of the quality of UAV blood transportation, the temperature of suspended red blood cells was between 4 and 8℃, that of platelets was between 20 and 24℃, and that of plasma was below 0℃. No damage has occurred so far. Conclusion: The UAV blood transportation platform can stably provide blood delivery services during both routine and emergency conditions, ensuring timely blood delivery and stable blood quality.
