Objective: To investigate the current status of personnel structure and service development of blood transfusion departments/blood banks in medical institutions across China, and to provide evidence for discipline construction. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 3 117 medical institutions in 31 provinces via the Chinese Medical Doctor Association-Blood Transfusion Physician Branch. Data on department naming, staff composition, professional titles, background, and services were analyzed descriptively. Results: Overall, 71.9% of departments were named "Blood Transfusion Department", while 26.4% were still "Laboratory/Blood Bank". Technicians accounted for 86%, physicians only 9%, and nurses 3%. The average number of physicians per tertiary hospital was 0.92, compared to 0.12 in secondary hospitals, with marked regional disparities. Among physicians, 44.5% had a laboratory background and 43.9% clinical background; 3.3% of physicians switched to technician due to promotion barriers. Basic serological tests (ABO/RhD:99.4%; antibody screening:96.2%) were widely available, but advanced tests (antibody identification:18.7%; platelet antibody: 18.2%) remained insufficient. Overall, 70.5% of departments offered therapeutic procedures, mainly autotransfusion (24.5%) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) collection (20.4%); plasma exchange was only 15.9%, and 29.5% performed no therapeutic services. Conclusion: Transfusion departments in China are still in the early stage of transitioning from traditional medical technology departments to clinical disciplines. The development of the discipline is constrained by administrative disciplinary positioning, talent construction and internal service capacity. Meanwhile, emerging services including transfusion consultations and specialized outpatient clinics have gained initial momentum.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of tripartite motif-containing 25 (TRIM25) on the replication of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in cells and its molecular mechanism.Methods:Human glioma cells (U251 cells) and Kunming mice were infected with JEV, and then the cells and brain tissue samples were collected. The transcription levels of six TRIM genes were detected by real-time PCR, and the expression of TRIM25 in cells was detected by Western blot. U251 and A549 cells overexpressed with TRIM25 and U251 cells knocked out with TRIM25 gene were constructed. Cells were infected with JEV, and the replication of JEV was detected by viral plaque assay, real-time PCR and Western blot. The interaction of TRIM25 with viral proteins was investigated by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and indirect immunofluorescence assay. The expression of IFN-β in overexpressed TRIM25 cells was detected by real-time PCR and ELISA.Results:JEV infection promoted the expression of TRIM25 in cells and mouse brain tissues. TRIM25 overexpression restricted JEV replication in U251 and A549 cells, while TRIM25 knockout enhanced JEV replication. TRIM25 overexpression upregulated the level of IFN-β in cells. TRIM25 interacted with JEV capsid protein and promoted the degradation of capsid protein.Conclusion:TRIM25 can inhibit the replication of JEV in cells by upregulating IFN-β and promoting the degradation of JEV C protein.

Objectives It was a preliminary exploration on rare disease management of comprehensive hospital based on the"Center-Multidisciplinary Team"structure.Methods By applying interrupted time series analysis,the characteristics and related medical service of rare disease patients discharged from sample hospitals from 2021 to 2023 were measured.Results The results showed that the hospital served 19 825 rare disease patients from 2021 to 2023.The proportion of patients whose main diagnosis were rare diseases was approximately 27%.The interrupted time series technique indicated that the expected proportion of rare disease patients increased instantly by 1.89 thousand points.The capability to diagnose has significantly improved,with a growing trend on volume of bioinformatics analysis services for rare diseases patients.Conclusion The rare disease management based on the"Center-Team"structure can increase the attention of medical staff to rare diseases,strengthen the diagnostic capacity of rare diseases,and make patient management more continuous and disciplinary co-operation more efficient without significantly increasing the input burden on hospitals.
