Congenital blood group chimerism refers to the coexistence of two or more distinct blood types within an individual, resulting from the presence of hematopoietic cell populations with different genotypes. Consequently, red blood cells in such individuals may express different blood group antigens. Based on the timing and mechanism of formation, blood group chimerism can be classified as either congenital or acquired. Although congenital blood group chimerism is rare and involves complex mechanisms, it holds significant implications in transfusion medicine, transplantation, and obstetrics. This article reviews the formation mechanisms, detection methods, and clinical significance of congenital blood group chimerism in transfusion medicine. Particular emphasis is placed on the principles, advantages, and limitations of various detection techniques. Furthermore, the potential applications of these technologies in clinical diagnosis are discussed, providing a technical foundation for the development of precise transfusion strategies.

Objective:To explore the level of unmet need during chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients, analyze its dynamic trajectory and impact on the economic toxicity of chemotherapy.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 385 gastric cancer patients who received chemotherapy from June 2022 to December 2023 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The level of unmet need for patients' first chemotherapy cycle (C 1) , second chemotherapy cycle (C 2) and third chemotherapy cycle (C 3) and economic toxicity at the end of chemotherapy were investigated separately. The latent class growth model (LCGM) was used to analyze classes of unmet need trajectories and to compare differences in patient economic toxicity across classes. Results:Finally 368 patients completed all data collection, and the effective response rate of survey respondents was 95.58%. As chemotherapy progressed, patients' unmet need scores gradually increased, and the unmet need scores of C 1, C 2, and C 3 were (35.54±5.44) , (47.32±6.45) , and (58.19±11.81) , respectively, which were categorized into three latent classes of medium-low level rapid increase group, medium level gradual increase group, and medium level stable group. There were 122 cases (33.15%) in medium-low level rapid increase group, 167 cases (45.38%) in medium level gradual increase group, and 79 cases (21.47%) in medium level stable group. The lowest economic toxicity score was found in medium-low level rapid increase group, followed by medium level gradual increase group, and the highest in medium level stable group, and the difference in economic toxicity scores among the three groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The percentage of patients with positive economic toxicity in the three groups was 45.90% (56/122) , 28.14% (47/167) , and 18.99% (15/79) , respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Unmet needs of patients during chemotherapy for gastric cancer show a moderate to high level and gradually increase with the course of chemotherapy. The trajectory can be divided into three latent classes of medium-low level rapid increase group, medium level gradual increase group, and medium level stable group. There are differences in economic toxicity for patients with different classes of unmet need trajectories, with patients in increase or rapid increase groups facing severe economic toxicity.

Objective To investigate the dynamic balance ability of healthy young adults under different obstacle-crossing strategies,thereby providing a theoretical basis for fall prevention training and public facility design.Methods Twenty healthy young adults participated in the experiment using F-scan plantar pressure analysis insoles.The subjects were required to cross three obstacles with different combinations of height and width.With their dominant foot serving as the leading foot and the non-dominant foot as the trailing foot,the subjects performed both lateral and forward crossing maneuvers,and their plantar pressure data were collected.Results Different crossing strategies significantly affected the adjustment speed of the leading foot's center of pressure in the medial-lateral direction(COP_ML),the area of the 95％confidence circle,ML amplitude,and anterior-posterior(AP)amplitude(P＜0.05).These strategies also significantly impacted the trailing foot's COP_ML adjustment speed,the area of the 95％confidence circle,and the range between the maximum and minimum swings(P＜0.05).For the leading foot,during lateral and forward crossing,the balance parameter values under different heights and widths were statistically significant(P＜0.05),increasing as the height and width increased.For the trailing foot,during forward crossing,the balance parameter values under different heights were statistically significant(P＜0.05),increasing with height,while during lateral crossing,the differences in balance parameter values were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusions Healthy young adults demonstrate better balance ability with the leading foot during forward obstacle crossing,which aligns with the movement habits of the dominant foot and daily activity patterns.The trailing foot exhibits a more stable plantar pressure distribution during lateral obstacle crossing,likely due to a larger contact area and more even center of gravity distribution.

We have isolated an intestinal probiotic strain, Pediococcus acidilactici HRQ-1. To improve its gastrointestinal fluid tolerance, transportation and storage stability, and slow-release properties, we employed the extrusion method to prepare the microcapsules with P. acidilactici HRQ-1 as the core material and sodium alginate and chitosan as the wall material. The optimal conditions for preparing the microcapsules were determined by single factor and orthogonal tests, and the optimal ratio was determined by taking the embedding rate, survival rate, storage stability, gastrointestinal fluid tolerance, and release rate as the evaluation indexes. The results showed that under the optimal embedding conditions, the embedding rate reached (89.60±0.02)%. Under the optimal formula of freeze-drying protective agent, the freeze-drying survival rate reached (76.42±0.13)%, and the average size of the microcapsules produced was (1.16±0.03) mm. The continuous gastrointestinal fluid simulation experiments confirmed that the microcapsules ensured the viable bacterial count and can slowly release bacteria in the intestinal fluid. The curve of the viable bacterial count during storage at 4 ℃ and room temperature indicated that the prepared microcapsules achieved strains' live number protection. The formula and preparation process of P. acidilactici microcapsules may provide a technological reserve for the preparation of more live bacterial drugs in the future.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of critically ill patients infected with Acinetobacter bau-mannii(AB)and carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB).Methods From January 2022 to June 2023,the data of Intensive Care Unit(ICU)patients admitted to Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical Uni-versity in Shanxi Province were collected.According to whether they were infected with AB,the patients were divided into an observation group and a control group(98 cases each).The observation group was further di-vided into a carbapenem sensitive Acinetobacter baumannii(CSAB)group(72 cases)and a CRAB group(26 cases).Mann-Whitney U test,chi-square test and other univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of AB and CRAB infection for critically ill patients.The prognosis was analyzed by Kaplan Meier survival analysis.Results Long stay in ICU,previous use of carbapenem drugs and high Acute Physiology and Health Evaluation(APACHE Ⅱ)score were independent risk factors for AB sus-ceptibility(P＜0.05),while the independent risk factors for CRAB susceptibility were invasive ventilation and delayed surgery(P＜0.01).In addition,CRAB infection,COVID-19 and shock was risk factors for death in critically ill patients,and invasive ventilation,indwelling drainage tube and operation could reduce the risk of death in critically ill patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion ICU stay time,APACHE Ⅱ score,previous use of car-bapenem drugs and invasive ventilation increase the risk of AB and CRAB infection in critically ill patients.In-vasive ventilation,indwelling drainage and early surgery could reduce the risk of death from AB and CRAB in-fection in critically ill patients.

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.
