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.

ObjectiveMagnetoencephalography (MEG), a non-invasive neuroimaging technique, meticulously captures the magnetic fields emanating from brain electrical activity. Compared with MEG based on superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID), MEG based on optically pump magnetometer (OPM) has the advantages of higher sensitivity, better spatial resolution and lower cost. However, most of the current studies are clinical studies, and there is a lack of animal studies on MEG based on OPM technology. Pain, a multifaceted sensory and emotional phenomenon, induces intricate alterations in brain activity, exhibiting notable sex differences. Despite clinical revelations of pain-related neuronal activity through MEG, specific properties remain elusive, and comprehensive laboratory studies on pain-associated brain activity alterations are lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of inflammatory pain (induced by Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA)) on brain activity in a rat model using the MEG technique, to analysis changes in brain activity during pain perception, and to explore sex differences in pain-related MEG signaling. MethodsThis study utilized adult male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Inflammatory pain was induced via intraplantar injection of CFA (100 μl, 50% in saline) in the left hind paw, with control groups receiving saline. Pain behavior was assessed using von Frey filaments at baseline and 1 h post-injection. For MEG recording, anesthetized rats had an OPM positioned on their head within a magnetic shield, undergoing two 15-minute sessions: a 5-minute baseline followed by a 10-minute mechanical stimulation phase. Data analysis included artifact removal and time-frequency analysis of spontaneous brain activity using accumulated spectrograms, generating spectrograms focused on the 4-30 Hz frequency range. ResultsMEG recordings in anesthetized rats during resting states and hind paw mechanical stimulation were compared, before and after saline/CFA injections. Mechanical stimulation elevated alpha activity in both male and female rats pre- and post-saline/CFA injections. Saline/CFA injections augmented average power in both sexes compared to pre-injection states. Remarkably, female rats exhibited higher average spectral power 1 h after CFA injection than after saline injection during resting states. Furthermore, despite comparable pain thresholds measured by classical pain behavioral tests post-CFA treatment, female rats displayed higher average power than males in the resting state after CFA injection. ConclusionThese results imply an enhanced perception of inflammatory pain in female rats compared to their male counterparts. Our study exhibits sex differences in alpha activities following CFA injection, highlighting heightened brain alpha activity in female rats during acute inflammatory pain in the resting state. Our study provides a method for OPM-based MEG recordings to be used to study brain activity in anaesthetized animals. In addition, the findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of pain-related neural activity and pain sex differences.

Objective·To preliminarily investigate the regulatory effect and underlying mechanism of fibroblast growth factor 2(FGF2)on R-spondin 1(Rspo1)expression in CD34+CD81+stromal cells from the mouse colon.Methods·Colonic CD45-CD326-CD31-GP38+CD81+Rspo1-tdTomato+stromal cells were sorted from Rspo1-tdTomato reporter mice by flow cytometry and subsequently cultured in vitro.The expression of surface protein markers was evaluated by flow cytometry after 14 d of culture.qPCR was employed to quantify Rspo1 expression in response to stimulation with FGF2,FGF9,epidermal growth factor(EGF),platelet-derived growth factor-bb(PDGF-bb),insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF1),or hepatocyte growth factor(HGF).RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analyses were used to identify the signaling pathways underlying FGF2-mediated regulation of Rspo1,followed by preliminary validation with pathway-specific inhibitors and qPCR.Results·After 14 d of culture,the sorted colonic stromal cells retained expression of CD34,CD81,and glycoprotein GP38,while remaining negative for other lineages markers CD45,CD326,and CD31.qPCR revealed that 20 ng/mL FGF2 significantly suppressed Rspo1 expression,whereas the other tested growth factors exerted no notable effect.RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis indicated that mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway played a key role in the regulatory effect of FGF2 on Rspo1.qPCR further demonstrated that pretreatment with U0126,an inhibitor of mitogen extracellular kinase 1/2(MEK1/2),reversed FGF2-mediated suppression of Rspo1 expression.Conclusion·FGF2 may inhibit Rspo1 expression in mouse colonic CD34+CD81+stromal cells via the MEK1/2-extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2(ERK1/2)signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influenza vaccination coverage among kindergarten and primary school children in Zhejiang Province in 2023 and analyze the influencing factors, and to provide the basis for improving the effect of influenza vaccination in children. MethodsA multi-stage random cluster sampling method was used to select 3 681 parents of children from 10 primary schools and kindergartens based on economic level and geographical distribution in Zhejiang Province, who participated in an online questionnaire survey, including basic information about the children and their parents, parents’ knowledge about influenza, and their willingness to vaccination. ResultsAmong the 3 681 parents surveyed, 33.82% (1 245/3 681) reported that their children received influenza vaccination in 2023. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that factors contributing to children’s influenza vaccination included both parents [adjusted OR (95%CI): 1.56 (1.32‒1.84)] and children [6.04 (5.04‒7.27)] having a history of influenza vaccination, parents’ conviction the influenza vaccine could protect children from severe diseases [1.43 (1.19‒1.74)], and the willingness of most parents would let their children get vaccinated [1.40 (1.13‒1.74)]. In contrast, vaccine hesitancy among parents [0.55 (0.43‒0.69)] and the belief that influenza is just a common cold [0.80 (0.65‒1.00)] were hindering factors. ConclusionThe influenza vaccination coverage among children is insufficient. Both the vaccination history of parents and children, as well as parents’ correct understanding of influenza and the effectiveness of influenza vaccine, significantly influence the influenza vaccination status in children. Efforts to address vaccine hesitancy and misconceptions about influenza are essential to improve vaccination rates.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for individualized treatment and pharmaceutical care for patients with breast cancer complicated with chronic kidney disease （CKD）. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the anti-tumor treatment and pharmaceutical care for a breast cancer patient with CKD. Clinical pharmacists reviewed guidelines and literature to assist the clinical physician in formulating the initial neoadjuvant treatment plan （docetaxel+trastuzumab+paltuzumab） and provided monitoring recommendations for potential adverse drug reactions， such as vomiting， myelosuppression， renal impairment， cardiotoxicity. In response to the patient’s acute kidney injury after treatment， clinical pharmacists assisted the physician in analyzing the cause of the adverse reaction through causality assessment. Taking into account the patient’s preferences， docetaxel was substituted with paclitaxel （which did not require dose adjustment based on renal function）. The clinical pharmacists collaborated with the physician to establish a postoperative targeted therapy regimen （trastuzumab+pertuzumab）. Taking into account the patient’s positive estrogen receptor status， the clinical pharmacists recommended to initiate regular anastrozole administration after the completion of radiotherapy and undergo periodic bone density assessments. RESULTS The clinical physician accepted the suggestions from the clinical pharmacists. The patient successfully completed preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy and postoperative targeted therapy， and was discharged with medication （anastrozole）. During the treatment process， the patient did not experience adverse reactions such as myelosuppression， cardiotoxicity， or the occurrence of osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists analyzed and adjusted the preoperative and postoperative antitumor treatment plans based on the patient’s renal function. They promptly assessed the correlation between antitumor drugs and acute kidney injury， and actively implemented comprehensive pharmaceutical care to ensure medication safety for breast cancer patients with CKD.

OBJECTIVE: To establish digital model of Ideberg typeⅡregional glenoid fracture anatomical plate with 3D metal printing technology. METHODS: The scapular imaging data of a 34-year-old healthy male volunteer were retrospectively selected. Mimics 15.01, NX 12.0 and other software were used to design Ideberg typeⅡ regional scapular fracture guide plate system. STL data were input into a metal 3D printer to print 1∶1 scapular model and anatomical plate of scapular pelvis with guide sleeve. The fit of the plate was tested in vitro and the accuracy of the screw position was evaluated by imaging. The printing time of scapular model, design of the nail path and making time of the anatomic guided plate were recorded. RESULTS: 3D metal-printed Ideberg typeⅡ guide plate for scapular fracture fitted well to 3D printed scapular model, the locking screw was oriented accurately, and X-ray and CT showed good screw position. The printing time of scapula model, time of nail path design and special-shaped anatomical guide plate production were 52.0, 15.0 and 320 min, respectively. CONCLUSION Anatomical plates based on 3D metal printing technology could achieve good adhesion of Ideberg typeⅡ regional fractures and precise screw placement, providing a new and accurate surgical method for the treatment of Ideberg typeⅡ glenoid fractures.

OBJECTIVE: A new three-dimensional(3D) classification of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fracture based on computed tomography(CT) features was established and the significance in clinical treatment was explored in this study. METHODS: From May 2013 to November 2023, 43 cases of PCL tibial avulsion fracture in the Second Hospital of Jilin University were analyzed retrospectively, including 29 males and 14 females, aged (34.3±8.5) years. According to traditional Meyers and McKeever classification, 3 cases were typeⅠ;2 cases of typeⅡ;38 cases were type Ⅲ. Based on the characteristics of CT images, 43 patients were given specific treatment strategies and followed up to evaluate the curative effect. According to the degree of fracture displacement, involved range and the integrity of fracture block demonstrated by CT images, the new three-dimensional classification of PCL avulsion fracture was established. Kappa coefficient was used for consistency test. RESULTS: A new 3D classification of PCL tibial avulsion fracture was established. TypeⅠwas the non-displaced fracture (displacement degree ≤3 mm), in which typeⅠa was the avulsion range limited in the posterior intercondylar fossa, and Ib was the avulsion range beyond the posterior intercondylar fossa. TypeⅡrepresented the displaced fracture in the posterior intercondylar fossa (avulsion limited to the posterior intercondylar fossa and fracture displacement>3 mm), in which typeⅡa represented a slight displacement with a intact broken block and the posterior elevation of the avulsion (hinge mechanism), typeⅡb represented the complete separation of fracture ends with a intact fracture block, and typeⅡc was the comminuted fracture. Type Ⅲ was the displaced fracture beyond the posterior intercondylar fossa (avulsion involving the articular surface of the tibial plateau or the intercondylar ridge and the degree of displacement > 3 mm), among which type Ⅲa was the simple fracture with intact broken block, type Ⅲb represented the comminuted fracture, and type Ⅲc was the complex fracture with tibial plateau fracture. According to this new 3D classification, 43 patients were classified as type Ia in 2 cases and typeⅠb in 1 case;typeⅡa in 2 cases, typeⅡb in 15 cases and typeⅡc in 7 cases;type Ⅲa in 2 cases, type Ⅲb in 5 cases and type Ⅲc in 9 cases. All the 43 cases in this study achieved bone union. At the last follow-up, according to the hospital for special surgery knee score(HSS)evaluation system for the knee joint function, 27 cases were excellent, 11 cases were good, 5 cases were fair. The average Kappa value of inter-observer reliability in the first stage was 0.793, and the second stage was 0.855. The average Kappa value of the whole stage was 0.839, indicating high level of consistency. The average Kappa value of intra-observer reliability was 0.893, indicating high level of consistency. CONCLUSION The 3D classification of PCL tibial avulsion fracture is intuitive, demonstrating a high level of reliability. It has a certain guiding significance for the selection of clinical treatment methods, and it is suggested to be promoted and applied as a new classification system in clinical practice.

PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of novel distraction support (DS) in intramedullary nailing treatment for tibial shaft fracture. METHODS: The random controlled trial included adult patients with tibial shaft fractures who were treated with intramedullary nailing at the trauma center between July 2013 and December 2018. Participants were randomly assigned to either control group (n=43) or DS group (n=42) based on whether DS was used during the operation. All surgical procedures were conducted by a single, experienced surgeon. Parameters such as hospital stay, blood loss, operative time, infection, delayed union, and malalignment were recorded for assessment. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess normality, and the F test was adopted to measure variance homogeneity. Continuous variables were presented as mean±standard deviation and compared via independent samples t-tests. Categorical variables are expressed as percentages. The Pearson's Chi-squared or Fisher's exact test was used for categorical variables n (%). Two-sided p<0.05 indicated statistical significance. RESULTS: A total of 85 participants were enrolled in the study. All cases achieved acceptable reduction. The operative time was significantly shorter in the DS group than in control group ((75.3±10.5) min vs. (90.4±15.5) min, p<0.001). Additionally, the DS group showed lesser blood loss ((60.1±27.2) mL vs. (85.4±25.4) mL, p<0.001). No significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in terms of hospital stay ((9.4±2.7) days vs. (10.2±3.1) days, p=0.370), infection (3 (7.1%) vs. 2 (4.7%), p=0.978), delayed union (2 (4.8%) vs. 5 (11.6%), p=0.450), and malalignment (3 (7.1%) vs. 5 (11.6%), p=0.713). CONCLUSION The use of DS in intramedullary nailing surgery is effective. The application of this DS system may represent a valuable addition to future clinical practice.

Flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (3GT) is a key enzyme in the glucosidation of anthocyanins. To investigate the 3GT gene in rhododendron, we cloned an open reading frame (ORF) of 3GT gene (named Rh3GT) from Rhododendron hybridum Hort (Red cultivar) and then characterized this gene and the deduced protein in terms of the biochemical characteristics, expression level, and enzymatic function. The results showed that Rh3GT had a full length of 993 bp and encoded 330 amino acid residues. The deduced protein was hydrophilic, stable, weak acid, belonging to the glycosyltransferase family (GT-B type), with glutamine (Q) at position 44 in the PSPG box. The phylogenetic analysis showed that Rh3GT was most closely related to Vc3GT from Vaccinium corymbosum and Vm3GT from Vaccinium myrtillus. Rh3GT was expressed in the stems, leaves, and flowers and almost not expressed in the roots, with the highest expression level in petals during full blooming stage. Introduction of pCAMBIAL1302-Rh3GT into petals significantly up-regulated the expression level of Rh3GT and increased the total anthocyanin accumulation. Rh3GT was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 in the form of inclusion bodies with a size of about 36 kDa. The results of HPLC showed that the recombinant Rh3GT after denaturation, purification, and dilution could catalyze the synthesis of cyanidin and UDP-glucose to synthesize cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, indicating that the expressed protein had 3GT activity. This study provides basic data for further studying the molecular regulation mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis and theoretical support for molecular breeding of rhododendron.
