【Objective】 To explore the difference of demographics and influencing factors of motivations between whole blood donors and plasmapheresis donors, so as to provide scientific reference for effective recruitment strategy. 【Methods】 A total of 200 whole blood donors from Guangyuan Blood Center and 200 plasmapheresis donors from Jiange Plasmapheresis Station were selected in August 2021 for on-site questionnaire survey using the method of cross-sectional survey. Statistical analysis was performed by chi-square test, univariate and multivariate logistic regression. 【Results】 There were significant differences in gender, age, occupation, education level and annual family income between whole blood donors and plasmapheresis donors (P<0.05). Males accounted for a large proportion of whole blood donors(124/196, 63.3%), whereas females accounted for a large proportion of plasmapheresis donors(117/198, 59.1%). There was little difference in the number of whole blood donors in different age groups, while the age of plasmapheresis donors was concentrated in 40~59 years old (167/198, 84.3%). In terms of occupation, civil servants (including public institutions) accounted the highest proportion in whole blood donors (41/196, 20.9%), and farmers accounted the highest proportion (152/198, 76.8%) in plasmapheresis donors. The number of whole blood donors increased with the education level, and donors with college/university and above degree accounted the largest proportion (80/196, 40.8%). Plasmapheresis donors with junior middle school education and college/university and above accounted the largest and smallest proportion (49.5% vs 4.5%). The annual family income of whole blood donors ranged from 30 000 to 80 000 yuan accounted the largest proportion (109/196, 55.6%), and the annual family income of plasmapheresis donors less than 30 000 yuan accounted the largest proportion (132/198, 66.7%). 【Conclusion】 There were significant statistical differences in gender, age, education level, occupation and annual family income between whole blood and plasmapheresis donors. Therefore, targeted recruitment strategies should be formulated.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of clinical pregnancy rate after single cleavage embryo transfer.Methods:A total of 2 764 patients who underwent single cleavage embryo transfer in the Reproductive Medicine Center of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2017 to October 2021 were included in a retrospective cohort study, The clinical data and cycle outcomes were analyzed by using univariate and multivariate logistic regression to explore the independent influencing factors of clinical pregnancy.Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, ovulation stimulation protocol, antral follicle number, blastomere number, fragment ratio, endometrial thickness, elective single embryo transfer were independent influencing factors of clinical pregnancy rate (all P<0.05). The effect of blastomere number on clinical pregnancy rate ( OR=2.92, 95% CI: 1.58-5.39) was stronger than that of fragment ratio ( OR=0.73, 95% CI: 0.55-0.98). The results of further stratified analysis showed that when the number of embryo cells was 8, the clinical pregnancy rate of patients less than 35 years old was significantly increased regardless of whether the embryo fragment ratio was more than 10% or not ( OR=4.78, 95% CI: 3.06-7.47; OR=3.53, 95% CI: 1.85-6.76), while in patients ≥35 years old, when the fragment ratio of transferred embryos was less than 10%, the clinical pregnancy rate of 8-cell embryos was significantly higher than that of 4-6-cell embryos ( OR=3.58, 95% CI: 1.64-7.84). Conclusion:The blastomere number and fragment ratio are the main influencing factors of the clinical pregnancy rate of single cleavage embryo transfer in young patients and the former has a stronger correlation with the clinical pregnancy rate. The decrease of blastomere number of transferred embryos is related to the decrease of clinical pregnancy rate. Cleavage embryos with 8 cells and fragment ratio less than 10% should be preferred for transfer.

【Objective】 To systematically evaluate the incidence of donation related vasovagal reactions (DRVR) in China by Meta-analysis method and discuss the risk factors of DRVR, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of DRVR. 【Methods】 Cochrane Library, PubMed, WanFang Data CNKI and other electronic databases were retrieved to collect research literature concerning the incidence and risk factors of DRVR among whole blood donors in mainland China, with the publishing duration setting from 1998 to 2020. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then Stata was used for Meta-analysis. 【Results】 A total of 63 studies involving 6 043 945 donors were included. The prevalence of DRVR was 1.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.9%~1.1%, I²=99.7%, P<0.01). The prevalence of DRVR in females (1.4%, 95% CI: 1.0-1.8%, I²=99.6%, P<0.01) was higher than that in males (1.1%, 95 % CI: 0.8-1.4%, I²=99.6%, P<0.01). The incidence of DRVR was 1.3% (95%CI: 0.8-1.8, I²=97.9%, P<0.01), 0.8% (95%CI: 0.5-1.0, I²=95.0%, P<0.01), 0.4% (95%CI: 0.3-0.5, I²=88.5%, P<0.01) and 0.3% (95%CI: 0.1-0.6, I²=96.1%, P<0.01) in the age groups of 18-25, 26-35, 36-45 and 46-55, respectively, and the incidence of DRVR decreased with age(P<0.01). From 1998 to 2020, the incidence of DRVR decreased year by year (P<0.01). The prevalence in first-time donors (1.5%, 95% CI: 1.3-1.8, I²=98.6%, P<0.01) was higher than that of regular donors (0.6%, 95% CI: 0.5-0.7%, I²=97.2%, P<0.01). Anxiety was the major risk factor for DRVR. 【Conclusion】 Our results indicate that blood centers should strengthen the monitoring of DRVR. More attention should be paid to young women, more comfort given to first-time blood donors, and a more perfect system developed to reduce the occurrence of DRVR.

【Objective】 To establish the donor bank for local region and distinguish the donors based on the past blood donation frequency and blood donation type, so as to improve the application efficiency of platelet bank. 【Methods】 1) According to the donation type and frequency of blood donors, the blood donors who had joined China Marrow Donor Program(CMDP)in our center from 2011 to 2020 were screened and classified. They are classified as reserve donors, prospective donors, and active donors. The donors, who met the selection conditions of active donors, were enrolled from all apheresis donors in 2020 to expand the local platelet bank. 2) In 2020, 739 blood donors who met the conditions of active donors were screened(including donors who had entered CMDP), and their HLA-A/B loci were detected by HLA high-resolution genotyping, and HPA was detected by Q-PCR genotyping. 3) The compatible platelets provided by three types of donors in 2021 were calculated. 【Results】 1) Taiyuan platelet bank, composed of donors with different previous donation experiences, had been constructed, including 739 active donors, 3840 prospective donors and 18 715 reserve donors. The composition ratio of ABO blood groups among three types of donors was found to be similar via chi square test; there were more male than female in three groups. 2) In 2021, the ratio of the average redonation by active donors in the platelet bank to the regular donation by the general donors was 14.4∶3.98. 3) Of the 142 compatible platelets, supplied to PTR patients in 2021, 83.8% of them came from the redonation of active donors after registration in the bank, and 9.9% and 6.3% from prospective donors and reserve donors, respectively. 4) In 2021, 28.1% of the stored pheresis platalets in our center had HLA typing data, and 54.2% of compatible platelets were retrieved from the inventory, which timely met the needs of clinical patients. 【Conclusion】 Integrating resources and distinguishing the activity degree of donors in platelet bank can reduce the cost of bank building and improve the application efficiency of the platelet bank.

【Objective】 To analyze the epidemic of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in voluntary blood donors , and to assess the residual risk of HCV transmission by blood transfusion in Taiyuan. 【Methods】 The HCV screening results of voluntary blood donors in Taiyuan from 2016 to 2021 were collected by blood center information system, and the epidemiologic feature of first-time and repeated donors were analyzed. The incidence-window period model was used to assess the residual risk of HCV transmission by transfusion in first-time/repeated donors as well as that in repeated donors under different blood screening modes. 【Results】 Of the 662 705 samples in Taiyuan from 2016 to 2021, the HCV positive rate of the first-time donors was 1.83‰(595/325 009) and the residual risk of HCV transmission was 14.91/100 000. The HCV positive rate of the repeated donors was 0.04‰ (13/337 696) and the residual risk was 0.31/1 000 000. The total residual risk of HCV transmission was 7.47/1 000 000. A total of 337 696 blood samples of repeated blood donors were tested, the repeated blood donors’ residual risk of transfusion-transmitted HCV was 0.31/100 000 after dual ELISA tests , and 0.06/100 000 after dual ELISA and once NAT, which reduce by 80.65% since NAT were adopted. 【Conclusion】 The residual risk of HCV transmission from repeated donors was less than that from first-time donors. The blood screening mode of HCV by dual ELISA and once NAT can effectively reduce the residual risk of transfusion-transmitted HCV and improve blood safety. The rate of repeat blood donation needs to be increased by continuously optimizing the recruitment strategy of blood donors.

Donation related vasovagal reaction(DRVR) is the most common adverse reaction during blood donation. It is very important for blood banks to identify, treat and prevent DRVR accurately. At present, it is generally believed that psychological factors are the first major inducement of DRVR. Applied muscle tension (AMT) and salt supplementation have been proved to be effective interventions for vasovagal response; the identification methods of high-risk groups such as State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Medical Fear Inventory and Blood Donor Response Scale have been relatively mature, but the utilization rate is relatively low in China. In this paper, the main clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, research methods, related factors, management and prevention measures of DRVR, as well as the identification of high-risk groups before blood donation are reviewed.

Primitive mammalian heart transforms from a single tube to a four-chambered muscular organ during a short developmental window. We found that knocking out global microRNA by deleting Dgcr8 microprocessor in Mesp1 cardiovascular progenitor cells lead to the formation of extremely dilated and enlarged heart due to defective cardiomyocyte (CM) differentiation. Transcriptome analysis revealed unusual upregulation of vascular gene expression in Dgcr8 cKO hearts. Single cell RNA sequencing study further confirmed the increase of angiogenesis genes in single Dgcr8 cKO CM. We also performed global microRNA profiling of E9.5 heart for the first time, and identified that miR-541 was transiently highly expressed in E9.5 hearts. Interestingly, introducing miR-541 back into microRNA-free CMs partially rescued their defects, downregulated angiogenesis genes and significantly upregulated cardiac genes. Moreover, miR-541 can target Ctgf and inhibit endothelial function. Our results suggest that microRNAs are required to suppress abnormal angiogenesis gene program to maintain CM differentiation.
