Objective: To explore the application effectiveness of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) in optimizing intelligent blood logistics transport pathways for safety assurance. Methods: Data from 1 851 cases of intelligent blood logistics transport were collected between September 2023 and March 2025. Based on the implementation phases of HFMEA measures, the cases were divided into a control group (n=120), observation group 1 (n=219), and observation group 2 (n=1 512). Through systematic analysis of the transport processes, hazard scoring and decision tree analysis were conducted for each process, and phased optimization measures were implemented for high-risk failure modes. Results: The transport duration of intelligent blood logistics was 35.5 (20.8, 71.1) min in the control group, 25.1 (10.9, 40.7) min in observation group 1, and 9.9 (4.2, 44.5) min in observation group 2. Observation group 2 exhibited significantly shorter transport time compared to both observation group 1 and the control group, with statistically significant differences between groups (P<0.000 1). Conclusion: The implementation of HFMEA-driven measures significantly reduced intelligent blood logistics transport duration, thereby fostering the evolution of smart hospital ecosystems while enhancing healthcare service quality and operational efficiency.

Based on the theory of "shaoyang（少阳） resembling the pivot" and collateral diseases， this article proposes that pulmonary fibrosis （PF） can be divided into three stages including wind bi （痹）， constraint bi， and atrophy bi. The core pathogenesis of PF is the obstruction of the pivot and pulmonary collateral obstruction. In terms of treatment， the basic principles are to harmonize and regulate the pivot， and to promote the circulation of the lung collaterals. Depending on the different characteristics of the "essence-attribute-function"， treatment methods such as harmonizing and regulating the pivot， resolving phlegm and removing stasis， supplementing deficiency and harmonizing collaterals are suggested. This approach ensures the regulation of the pivot， smooth circulation of qi and blood， unblocking of the lung collaterals and nourishing the lung body， achieving the goals of balancing the ascending and descending of qi， removing phlegm and stasis， and relieving cough and wheezing.

To conduct a bibliometric and keyword analysis on the domestic and international literature of medical artificial intelligence （AI） ethics， explore the research frontiers， hotspots， and development trends in this field， and provide references for promoting the construction of China’s ethical governance system on medical AI. Utilizing CiteSpace software， a comparative analysis was conducted between the reviewed domestic and international literature regarding their publication volume， author and institutional collaboration networks， as well as keyword co-occurrence， clustering， timeline graph， and burst， to explore the research hotspots and development trends in the field. A total of 2 393 Chinese and English publications were included. In recent years， research topics in medical AI ethics both domestically and internationally focused on three aspects， encompassing their theoretical research， emerging domains and their ethical risks， as well as the ethical governance and regulation of medical AI. International research hotspots included federated learning， computer-aided detection， informed consent， and other aspects， whereas domestic research hotspots were smart healthcare， responsibility ethics， ethical values， and other aspects. Internationally， greater attention was placed on ethical issues concerning population health and healthcare in the public health domain， whereas domestic research topics tended to focus more on theoretical discussions and the establishment of ethical principles. The ethical governance of medical AI represents a shared global challenge， necessitating enhanced research into both the variances and commonalities in this field.

Objective To analyze the influenza-like illness (ILI) data in Ordos City from 2017 to 2023 and conduct nucleic acid detection of the virus to understand the local influenza epidemic situation, and to provide a reliable basis for influenza prevention and control in the city. Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to identify virus subtypes in ILI throat swab samples. Comparisons of positive rates were conducted using the chi-square test, with a significance level of α=0.05. Results From 2017 to 2023, a total of 3,283,434 outpatient and emergency visits were recorded at the Ordos City Central Hospital, including 74,159 ILI cases, with an ILI proportion of 2.26%. The majority of ILI cases (74.43%) occurred in children aged 0~14 years old. The overall positive rate of influenza virus nucleic acid detection was 10.87%, with the highest proportion being subtype A (seasonal H3) at 43.03%. The highest detection rate was observed in the 5~14 years age group, with statistically significant differences in positive rates across age groups (χ²=155.638, P<0.001). Influenza peaks occurred mainly from November to March of the following year. From January to April, three types of influenza were prevalent alternately or mixed, while from October to December, subtype A (seasonal H3) predominated. Positive rates varied significantly across months (χ²=250.923, P<0.001). The temporal trends of ILI proportions and PCR-positive rates were consistent. Conclusion Influenza in Ordos City exhibits distinct seasonal and age distribution characteristics, with alternating or mixed circulation of three virus types. Continued efforts are needed to strengthen influenza surveillance, especially the prevention and control of influenza in infants and adolescents.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current professional competency among full-time and part-time personnel of the nosocomial infection control administration in Shanghai, so as to provide a scientific basis for future training programmes. MethodsIn December 2024, a questionnaire survey was conducted by the Shanghai Nosocomial Infection Quality Control Center among full-time and part-time personnel of the nosocomial infection control administration across medical institutions at various levels and types in Shanghai using convenience sampling method. The questionnaire consisted of two parts: demographic information and professional competency assessment. The professional competency scale comprised four dimensions: fundamental cognition, basic skills, professional expertise, and personal qualities, totaling 35 items. ResultsA total of 1 179 questionnaires were distributed, with 1 144 valid responses collected, yielding an effective response rate of 97.03%. Statistically significant differences were observed among full-time and part-time personnel of the nosocomial infection control administration in terms of age (t=5.32, P=0.021), professional background (χ²=9.90, P=0.019), educational qualifications (χ²=19.10, P<0.001), professional titles (χ²=12.60, P=0.002), and the levels of medical institutions (χ²=111.08, P<0.001). The scores of full-time personnel of the nosocomial infection control administration in fundamental cognition [92 (82, 99) points] and basic skills [88 (78, 96) points] were significantly higher than those of part-time personnel(Z=-2.21, P=0.027;Z=-2.74, P=0.006). Statistically significant differences were found in fundamental cognition scores between full-time and part-time personnel of the nosocomial infection control administration regarding occupational safety protection, definition of healthcare-associated infection outbreaks, types of drug-resistant bacteria and their prevention and control strategies, and transmission routes of different infectious diseases (all P<0.05). Statistically significant differences were also observed in basic skills scores including proficient use of monitoring platforms, formulation and revision of standard operating procedures (SOPs), independent completion of targeted surveillance, guidance on basic infection control skills, guidance for key departments, and follow-up of personnel with occupational exposure (all P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were found in scores of professional knowledge and personal qualities (P>0.05). ConclusionThere are certain differences in professional competency between full-time and part-time personnel of the nosocomial infection control administration in Shanghai in terms of fundamental cognition and basic skills. Part-time personnel can effectively improve their professional competency through systematic training on basic infection control knowledge and practical skills, thereby comprehensively enhancing the overall quality of the nosocomial infection administration team.

Objective: To report severe hemolytic adverse reactions caused by intravenous infusion of human immunoglobulin (IVIG) in a child, and to alert clinical staff to be aware of IVIG-associated hemolytic reactions to ensure transfusion safety in pediatric populations. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a case of severe hemolytic reaction following high-dose IVIG infusion in a pediatric patient with severe pneumonia. Results: Following high-dose IVIG infusion, severe hemolytic adverse reactions developed, clinically manifesting as decreased hemoglobin, progressively elevated bilirubin and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and gradual hepatomegaly. IgG antibodies were detected in the patient's erythrocytes and plasma. Conclusion: When patients passively acquire IgG antibodies through IVIG infusion, timely monitoring of antibody titers in vivo is critical. For subsequent transfusions, red blood cell products that lack the corresponding antigens should be selected to mitigate hemolysis. Clinicians should remain vigilant against rare but severe hemolytic adverse reactions.

Purpose: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in children, adolescents, and young adults is rare and differs from older adults. This study evaluated the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in young Korean CML patients during the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) era. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 35 CML patients aged < 40 years who underwent allogeneic HSCT from 2009 to 2019 was conducted using Korean Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry data. Patients were grouped by age < 20 years at HSCT (group 1, n=15) and 20-40 years at HSCT (group 2, n=20). Survival outcomes including overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), and event-free survival (EFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The median time between diagnosis and HSCT was 8.9 months. All the patients achieved engraftment but platelet recovery was significantly slower in group 1 (p=0.034). Acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease occurred in 54.3% and 34.3%, respectively. Five-year OS, RFS, and EFS rates of total patients were 66.8%, 50.8%, and 47.6%, with better OS was observed in group 1 by multivariable analysis (p=0.048). Disease status at HSCT was a significant predictor of OS (p=0.028), RFS (p=0.003), and EFS (p=0.004). Disease progression occurred in 13 out of 35 patients (37.1%); treatment-related mortality accounted for 63.6% of deaths (7 out of 11). Conclusion When performed at a younger age, allogeneic HSCT result in superior outcome in CML. Achieving remission before HSCT is critical for improved outcomes, highlighting the importance of pretransplant remission via optimal TKI strategies and minimal residual disease monitoring.

Objective:To prepare decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) composite hydrogels and to study their effects on hepatocyte proliferation.Methods:Hepatic dECM was prepared by elution, and GelMA hydrogel and 10%, 30% and 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogels were prepared by pepsin solubilization. The morphology of normal liver and dECM liver was observed by eyes and scanning electron microscopy using hematoxylin-eosin, Sirius red and periodate-Schiff staining, respectively. The internal structure of the dECM-GelMA composite hydrogels was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the pore diameter was measured. Liver HL-7702 cells were co-cultured with GelMA hydrogel and 10%, 30% and 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogels, and the cell proliferation viability was determined by cell counting kit-8. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Wnt family protein 5a (Wnt5a), β-catenin, extracellular-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) were detected by Western blotting. Comparisons were made using independent sample t-test or one-factor analysis of variance. Results:After decellularization, the hepatocyte morphology showed rounded depressions, and the extracellular matrix structure was intact. The GelMA hydrogel and 10%, 30% and 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogels showed inernally porous structures. The pore diameter increased from (3.06±1.35) μm in the GelMA hydrogel to (16.01±4.02) μm in the 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogel. On the 3rd, 5th and 7th day, the relative cell proliferation was higher in the 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogel group than that in the GelMA hydrogel group (1.89±0.04 vs 1.53±0.01, 9.36±0.04 vs 3.89±0.09, 7.15±0.27 vs 4.89±0.15, all P<0.05). The relative expression levels of PCNA, Wnt5a, β-catenin, and p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 proteins in the 50% dECM-GelMA composite hydrogel group were higher than those in the GelMA hydrogel group (2.14±0.04 vs 1.00±0.03, 2.36±0.09 vs 1.00±0.08, 1.45±0.03 vs 1.00±0.04, 1.43±0.04 vs 1.00±0.01, all P<0.05). Conclusions:A dECM-GelMA composite hydrogel can be prepared, which may promote hepatocyte proliferation by upregulating the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

The term yin excess originated in the Huang Di Nei Jing, which refers to the phenomenon of "heavy yin" when wind pathogens invades the human body and defensive qi enters the yin part of the human body. Later doctors have played a role in yin excess. Theoretically, yin and yang are out of balance in the human body, and yin is too much and yang is not enough, which is the process of physiological transformation to pathology; from the diagnosis point of view, patients with yin deficiency have less pulse and more blood; from the clinical manifestations, patients with yin excess appear cold from the back, hands and feet cold reverse; from the point of view of treatment, bitter cold products can cause yin excess. Modern research specifies yin as phlegm, dampness, stasis and other pathological products, and emphasize the relation between yin excess and yang deficiency. Yin excess includes pathological factors such as phlegm stasis cold, external cold straight in the liver wood, set in the hypochasm, resulting in mass; or overthinking and cold drink injury spleen, phlegm turbidiousness, long and hard phlegm forming lumps, thus resulting yin excess; or it may deplete the yang energy of the heart, leading to neglect of the warming function and stagnation of blood stasis; or if the kidney yang is deficient and the body lacks warmth, and there is no true yang in the ridge, then the wood will sink and congest blood stasis; the above etiology and pathogenesis lead to the occupation of yin pathogens, resulting in liver cancer. The treatment methods include liver cold turbidizing, warming liver and dispelling cold, with Wuzhuyu Decoction; spleen-deficiency phlegm production, the treatment should be warm the middle and resolving the phlegm, with Linggui Zhugan Decoction and Zhenwu Decoction; Yang deficiency and stasis, the treatment should warm kidney to remove blood stasis, with Poyu Decoction.

Objective To comparatively analyze the clinical characteristics of primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia(PBMAH)and adrenal cortisol-producing Adenoma(CPA),and enhance the understanding of two diseases.Methods The clinical data of 85 PBMAH patients(PBMAH group)and 195 CPA patients(CPA group)diagnosed at Department of Endocrinology,the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital,from September 2014 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The demographic characteristics,comorbidities,biochemical indicators,adrenocorticotropic hormone-cortisol(ACTH-F)levels,and adrenal imaging features and treatment conditions were compared between the two groups.Results(1)General characteristics:Compared with CPA group,PBMAH group had older age at diagnosis and a higher proportion of male patients.(2)Clinical characteristics:Compared with CPA group,PBMAH group had a longer disease duration,a higher proportion of subclinical Cushing's syndrome(CS),and a higher proportion of hypertension,impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes,bone mass reduction or osteoporosis,with higher serum potassium levels,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).(3)Hormone levels:Both PBMAH and CPA groups showed ACTH-F rhythm disorder,significantly increased cortisol levels and suppressed ACTH.Compared with PBMAH group,CPA group had stronger autonomous cortisol secretion ability,manifested by increased midnight serum cortisol(F0:00),16:00 serum cortisol(F16:00),24-hour urinary free cortisol(24 h UFC)levels and lower 8:00 serum ACTH(ACTH8:00)and 16:00 serum ACTH(ACTH16:00)(P<0.01).After low-dose dexamethasone suppression test(LDDST),CPA group showed lower suppression rates of ACTH and cortisol,and higher proportions of paradoxical elevation in serum cortisol and 24 h UFC compared with PBMAH(P<0.01).Conclusions PBMAH has a longer disease course and higher proportions of comorbid metabolic disorders than CPA,mostly manifested as subclinical Cushing's syndrome.CPA has stronger autonomous cortisol secretion ability,with cortisol less likely to be suppressed after LDDST and more obvious paradoxical elevation of cortisol and 24 h UFC.
