Objective: To explore the possibility of performing allogeneic platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for patients who were not suitable for autologous PRP collection through case reports of two patients with refractory wounds treated with allogeneic PRP. Methods: The ABO-compatible allogeneic whole blood was centrifuged 3 times to obtain allogeneic PRP within 6 hours of blood collection. Then the qualified allogeneic PRP was applied to 2 cases of refractory wound on the same day. Results: The platelet concentration in allogeneic PRP was higher than 1 000×10 /L, and the test results of infectious diseases, as well as the mixing of red blood cells and white blood cells, met the standard of quality control. Both patients achieved satisfactory wound healing outcomes (3 d). Conclusions: For patients who were not suitable for autologous PRP treatment, allogeneic PRP might be a new option.

Objective: For patients with elevated hematocrit (Hct), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) apheresis is prone to red blood cell contamination—commonly referred to as “flushing” or erythrocyte carryover—which compromises product quality and therapeutic efficacy. This study reports two clinicaly derived measures to mitigate this issue. Methods: For 21 patients with Hct ≥53%, intravenous 0.9% sodium chloride infusion before apheresis process (replacement method, n=13) or 0.9% sodium chloride fluids hemodilution within the centrifuge bowl during PRP apheresis process (dilution method, n=8) were given, respectively. The collection time, adverse reactions, and the celluar composition of PRP—including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelet counts—were recorded and compared. Results: Neither method resulted in visible RBC contamination (“flushing”). The red blood cell counts [(0.021±0.014)×10 /L vs (0.019±0.011)×10 /L, P>0.05], white blood cell counts [(2.258±3.288) ×10 /L vs (0.557 5±1.203) ×10 /L, P>0.05], and platelet counts [(1 140±308.2)×10 /L vs (1 105±309.9)×10 /L, P>0.05] in the PRP products obtained by two methods all met the control standards of PRP. There was no significant difference [(2.268±0.927) vs (2.438±0.762) mL/min, P=0.669 2] between the two methods in terms of the speed of PRP collection. One case of adverse reaction occurred with the fluid replacement method, while no adverse reaction occurred with the dilution method. Conclusion: For patients with elevated Hct, both fluid replacement and dilution methods can effectively prevent RBC contamination during PRP collection, yielding products that meet clinical quality standards.

Centrifugal therapeutic plasma exchange (CTPE), as an important therapeutic plasma separation technique, has gained widespread application in clinical treatment in recent years due to its high efficiency, safety, and operational flexibility. By utilizing centrifugal force to separate plasma from cellular blood components, CTPE demonstrates significant advantages over conventional membrane-based therapeutic plasma exchange (MTPE), particularly regarding therapeutic efficacy and procedural rapidity in managing complex diseases. This article provides a systematic review of the principles, operational procedures, and differences between CTPE and MTPE from the professional perspective of transfusion medicine specialists. It focuses on its applications in various clinical conditions and introduces advanced techniques in CTPE. By integrating the latest research findings and clinical practice experience, this article aims to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for transfusion medicine specialists and related clinical personnel, thereby promoting the standardisation and optimisation of CTPE technology.

【Objective】 To investigate additional exclusion criteria for therapeutic apheresis erythrocytes and the possibility of adverse reactions by analyzing the occurrence of rare adverse reactions in two patients who underwent therapeutic erythrocytes apheresis. 【Methods】 Erythrocytes were harvested by apheresis from two patients with indications for therapeutic erythrocytes collection for preservation or discarding. 【Results】 One case experienced persistent atrial fibrillation and a gout attack after the collection, while another case experienced persistent hypotension during the collection and a subsequent reduction in haemoglobin levels after collection 【Conclusion】 To reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, it is essential to have strict exclusion criteria for therapeutic erythrocytes apheresis and to enhance the monitoring of whole collection process in patients with atrial fibrillation and gout.

【Objective】 To analyze the height growth of children aged 6 - 15 years in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, so as to provide evidence for the assessment of local children′s height development. 【Methods】 A total of 25 225 children aged 6 - 15 years were selected to get their physical examination data from 41 primary schools in Nanning by stratified cluster sampling method in December 2021.Then the height data were compared with the current domestic standards. 【Results】 The average height of boys in Nanning was lower than the national standard before the age of 10 years and 7 months, and the gap with the national standard gradually narrowed after the age of 10 years and 7 months. The average height of boys in Nanning City exceeded the national standard between the age of 11 years and 1 month and 13 years and 6 months, and then lagged behind the national standard again after the age of 13 years and 7 months. The mean height of girls in Nanning City was lower than the national standard height in several age groups, and it was more obvious before the age of 9 years and 7 months. The proportion of height ≤-2s,≤-s,≥ +s and ≥+2s in boys aged 6 to 15 years in Nanning City fluctuated from 2.59% to 6.04%, 12.09% to 23.43%, 7.18% to 18.79% and 0.93% to 3.14%, respectively; the total proportions were 4.56%, 17.46%, 11.35% and 1.74%, respectively; the minimum/maximum proportion values of each height group were at 11 years old /8 years old, 14 years old/8 years old, 8 years old/12 years old, and 6 years old/11 years old, respectively. The proportions of girls aged 6 - 15 years in Nanning City with height ≤-2s, ≤-s, ≥+s, and ≥+2s fluctuated from 2.06% to 5.19%, 9.35% to 25.15%, 8.21% to 15.80% and 1.23% to 3.49%, respectively; the total proportions were 3.38%, 16.91%, 11.97% and 2.29%, respectively; and the minimum/maximum proportion values of each height group were at 13 years old/6 years old, 12 years old/6 years old, 7 years old/12 years old, and 6 years old/11 years old, respectively. 【Conclusions】 The overall height level of children in Nanning is still lower than the national level, with short prepubertal basal heights, an earlier age of onset of accelerated pubertal height, and a shorter duration of accelerated pubertal height in boys. Strengthening pre-pubertal height management and emphasizing the onset and duration of children′s pubertal development, especially the height development of boys during puberty, can help improve the adult lifelong height of children in this region.

Objective To compare image quality of 5.0T and 3.0T non-contrast MRI for displaying insulinoma.Methods Twelve patients with insulinoma were prospectively enrolled,and non-contrast abdominal T1WI,T2WI as well as diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI)were acquired using 5.0T and 3.0T MR scanners,respectively.The subjective scores of image quality of each sequence of 5.0T and 3.0T MRI,also of tumor-pancreas parenchyma contrast scores were compared.The signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of insulinomas were observed,and the displayed rate of insulinoma by each sequence and overall MRI were compared.Results The subjective scores of 5.0T T1WI and DWI were higher than those of 3.0T T1WI and DWI(both P＜0.05),but not significantly different between 5.0T and 3.0T T2WI(P=0.166).Furthermore,the tumor-pancreas parenchyma contrast score of 5.0T T1WI was higher than that of 3.0T T1WI(P=0.023),but not significantly different between 5.0T and 3.0T T2WI,nor between 5.0T and 3.0T DWI(both P＞0.05).SNR of insulinomas on 5.0T T2WI were higher than on 3.0T T2WI(P=0.015),however,no significant difference of SNR was found between 5.0T and 3.0T T1WI,nor between 5.0T and 3.0T DWI(both P＞0.05).CNR of insulinomas on all 5.0T MRI were not significantly different with those on 3.0T MRI(all P＞0.05).The displayed rate of insulinoma on 5.0T T1WI,T2WI and DWI was 100％(12/12),66.67％(8/12)and 83.33％(10/12),respectively,on 3.0TT1WI,T2WI and DWI was 75.00％(9/12),58.33％(7/12),66.67％(8/12),respectively.The overall displayed rate of insulinoma on 5.0T and 3.0T MRI was 100％(12/12)and 83.33％(10/12),respectively.Conclusion Compared with 3.0T MRI,5.0T MRI was superior for displaying insulinoma,hence being helpful for diagnosis.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To evaluate the potential causal relationship between inflammatory factors and PCa using the two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)method.Methods:We selected summary statistics of genome-wide association studies(GWAS)(n=14 824)on 91 inflammatory factors,with PCa as the outcome in the latest 9th edition of FinnGen database for MR analysis.We evaluated the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and PCa using the odds ratio(OR)and 95%confidence interval(CI)of such regression models as inverse variance weighting(IVW),MR-Egger regression,simple mode(SM),weighted mode(WM)and weighted median estimator(WME),with IVW as the main statistical method for this study.We further verified the results of MR by Bayesian analysis,and evaluated the heterogeneity of genetic instrumental variables,pleiotropic effects and sensitivity of single nu-cleotide polymorphisms(SNP)as instrumental variables to the exposure-outcome relationship by Cochran's Q test,MR-Egger intercept test and leave-one-out cross validation.Results:IVW showed that among the 91 inflammatory factors,interleukin-22 receptor A1(IL-22RA1)and sulfotransferase 1A1(ST1A1)were correlated positively with the risk of PCa;IL-22RA1:IVW(OR[95%CI]:1.12[1.00-1.25],P=0.04);ST1A1:IVW(OR[95%CI]:1.08(1.00-1.16),P=0.03),while Chemokine ligand 11(CXCL11)and interleukin 17 A(IL-17 A)negatively with the risk of PCa;CXCL11:IVW(OR[95%CI]:0.88[0.81-0.95],P=0.00);IL-17A:IVW(OR[95%CI]:0.91[0.84-0.98],P=0.02).No potential horizontal pleiotropy was detected by MR-Egger intercept analysis(P>0.05,IL-22RA1=0.885,ST1A1=0.949,CXCL11=0.391,IL-17A=0.884),nor biased SNPs in the MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier(MR-PRESSO)test(P>0.05,IL-22RA1=0.479,ST1A1=0.629,CXCL11=0.326,IL-17A=0.444),or heterogeneity P>0.05,IL-22RA1=0.543,ST1A1=0.677,CXCL11=0.336,IL-17A=0.494).Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis indicated no significant impact of individual SNP sites on the overall causal rela-tionship prediction,suggesting the reliable results of analysis.Conclusion:Among the 91 inflammatory factors,IL-22RA1 and ST1A1 have a positive causal relationship,while CXCL11 and IL-17A have a negative causal relationship with PCa.

【Objective】 To retrospectively analyze the effect of AB platelet secondary compatible transfusion on the efficacy of matched platelet transfusion. 【Methods】 A total of 2 276 cases of platelet transfusion in our hospital were selected from November 2020 to September 2021, including 2 068 ABO matched platelet transfusions and 206 AB platelet secondary compatible transfusions. 117 cases were selected for the first occasion of AB platelet secondary compatible transfusion. The controls were matched transfusion receipts before given AB platelet secondary compatible transfusion, and the experimental group was given matched transfusion after AB platelet secondary compatible transfusion (take the first, second and third transfusion as group 1, 2 and 3, respectively). The platelet count(Plt), platelet elevation (△Plt) and 24 h Plt correction increase index (CCI) of patients before and after platelet transfusion were used as observation indexes to analyze the effect of AB type mis-matched platelet transfusion on the efficacy of matched platelet preventive transfusion by gender, blood type and disease type. 【Results】 Among the 2 276 platelet transfusions, and the △Plt of matched platelet transfusions was significantly higher than that of AB type secondary compatible transfusions, with the mean values at (14±15)×10⁹/L and (11±14)×10⁹/L(P<0.05). The △Plt of female patients was higher than that of male patients (15±16)×10⁹/L vs (13±14)×10⁹/L(P < 0.05). The △Plt values of MDS, NHL and MM were (9±14) ×10⁹/L, (10±12) ×10⁹/L and (8±11) ×10⁹/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than the average value (P < 0.05). For 117 cases of AB platelet secondary compatible transfusion: the Δ Plt was significantly lower than that of the control group and the experimental group, respectively at (9±12) ×10⁹/L, (13±13) ×10⁹/L and (13±12) ×10⁹/L(P<0.05). The effective rate of 24 h CCI was 52.14%, significantly lower than the control group and experimental group (71.59% vs 71.83%), P<0.05; no significant difference was noticed in △ Plt value and 24 h CCI between the experimental group and the control group(P>0.05). The △Plt of the experimental group 3 was significantly lower compared with the experimental group 1, (10±13) ×10⁹/L vs (14±12) ×10⁹/L, P<0.05, and the effective rate decreased from 73.12%(68/93)to 58.70%(27/46), P>0.05. No significant difference in △Plt and the number of effective 24 h CCI cases was found between the experimental group and the control group in terms of gender, blood type and disease type (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The △Plt and the effective rate of AB platelet secondary compatible transfusion were lower than those of matched platelet transfusions, and has no significant effect on short term(less than 10 days) matched platelet transfusion.
