Objective: To systematically analyzes the impact of blood donor characteristics on red blood cell (RBC) quality and transfusion outcomes, and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing donor selection criteria and developing personalized transfusion strategies. Methods: A literature search was conducted across electronic databases including CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, PubMed, and Embase using combinations of keywords such as "donor characteristics", "blood storage lesion", "blood quality", and "transfusion outcomes" for summary and analysis. Results: Factors associated with the blood donor characteristics including demographic characteristics (sex, age, body mass index), lifestyle habits (smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise), and dietary or pharmacological exposures significantly influence blood storage stability and transfusion efficacy by modulating erythrocyte metabolism, oxidative stress levels, and immune properties. Conclusion: The complexity and diversity of the blood donor characteristics are associated with blood quality and transfusion outcomes. Future efforts should focus on refining donor selection criteria and establishing personalized transfusion strategies to enhance blood product quality and improve patient outcomes.

Renal cancer is a common and increasingly prevalent malignancy with a complex pathogenesis influenced by genetics,smoking,and obesity.Current treatment mainly involves surgery with adjunctive chemotherapy,radiation,and immunotherapy,but high rates of recurrence and metastasis indicate its limited effectiveness,emphasizing the need for better therapeutic targets.Growing evidence indicates that epigenetic modifications,particularly RNA modifications,play a critical role in renal cancer development and progression.This review highlights recent advances in renal cancer epigenetics,focusing on RNA modifications such as N6-methyladenosine(m6 A),N7-methylguanosine(m7G),5-methylcytosine(m5C),N1-methyladenosine(m1A),adenosine-to-inosine(A-to-I),N6,2'-O-dimethyladenosine(m6Am),and N4-acetylcytidine(ac4C),along with their regulatory factors.It also explores the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of targeting RNA modifications and associated proteins.

The dysregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12), which may result from genomic alterations or modulation by upstream effectors, is implicated in cancer oncogenesis and progression. CDK12 overexpression or activation is sufficient to induce tumor initiation, recurrence, and therapeutic resistance. However, CDK12 may also exert tumor-suppressive functions in a context-dependent manner. Therefore, caution is warranted when targeting CDK12 in future clinical trials. A comprehensive elucidation of the dual roles and underlying mechanisms of CDK12 in carcinogenesis is urgently needed to advance precision oncology. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of the dysregulation and biological roles of CDK12 in cancer. Subsequently, we systematically summarize the functions and mechanisms of the oncogenic and tumor-suppressive roles of CDK12 in different contexts. Finally, we discuss the potential of CDK12 as a novel therapeutic target and its implications in clinical oncology, offering insights into future directions for innovative cancer treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical and laboratory characteristics of hematological tumors with different types of abnormalities in platelet derived growth factor β (PDGFRβ) gene. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was carried out on 141 patients with abnormal long arm of chromosome 5 (5q) and comprehensive medical history data from Changhai Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University from 2009 to 2020, and their clinical data were collected. R-banding technique was used for chromosomal karyotyping analysis for the patient's bone marrow, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to detect the PDGFRβ gene. The results of detection were divided into the amplification group, deletion group, and translocation group based on FISH signals. The three sets of data column crosstabs were statistically analyzed, and if the sample size was n >= 40 and the expected frequency T for each cell was >= 5, a Pearson test was used to compare the three groups of data. If N < 40 and any of the expected frequency T for each cell was < 5, a Fisher's exact test is used. Should there be a difference in the comparison results between the three sets of data, a Bonferroni method was further used to compare the data. RESULTS: In total 98 patients were detected to have PDGFRβ gene abnormalities with the PDGFRβ probe, which yielded a detection rate of 69.50% (98/141). Among these, 38 cases (38.78%) had PDGFRβ gene amplifications, 57 cases (58.16%) had deletions, and 3 (3.06%) had translocations. Among the 98 cases, 93 were found to have complex karyotypes, including 37 cases from the amplification group (97.37%, 37/38), 55 cases from the deletion group (96.49%, 55/57), and 1 case from the translocation group (33.33%, 1/3). Analysis of three sets of clinical data showed no significant gender preponderance in the groups (P > 0.05). The PDGFRβ deletion group was mainly associated with myeloid tumors, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) (P < 0.001). The PDGFRβ amplification group was more common in lymphoid tumors, such as multiple myeloma (MM) (P < 0.001). The PDGFRβ translocation group was also more common in myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative tumors (MDS/MPN). CONCLUSION Tumors with PDGFRβ gene rearrangement may exhibit excessive proliferation of myeloproliferative tumors (MPN) and pathological hematopoietic changes in the MDS, and have typical clinical and hematological characteristics. As a relatively rare type of hematological tumor, in addition to previously described myeloid tumors such as MPN or MDS/MPN, it may also cover lymphoid/plasma cell tumors such as multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Objective:To observe the differences in clinical efficacy of Jieyu Anshen Decoction combined with auricular points and oral tibolone in the treatment of patients with perimenopausal sleep disorders, and provide effective treatment for patients with contraindications to hormone supplement therapy in clinicalMethods:Using a randomized trial design, from July 2018 to August 2020,102 perimenopausal insomnia patients in International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital of China Welfare Institutewith kidney deficiency and liver depression who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group with 51 cases each. The treatment group took Jieyu Anshen Recipe. At the same time, unilateral auricular point pressing treatment was given, and the opposite ear was changed in 5 d. The control group was treated with tiburon for a period of 3 months. The changes in the scores of each scale were observed in the two groups after 1 month and 3 months treatment. The scale included Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), modified Kupperman score (KMI), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Screening Scale (PHQ-9). Its effectiveness and differences were evaluated and analyzed comprehensively through the above scale.Results:PSQI, KMI, GAD-7, PHQ-9 scores decreased significantly in the control and treatment groups after 1 month and 3 months of treatment, and the difference were statistically significant: PSQI: (8.58 ± 1.94) and (5.81 ± 1.93) scores vs. (13.10 ± 2.53), (9.15 ± 2.59) and (6.33 ± 1.98) scores vs.(13.52 ± 2.27) scores; KMI: (19.92 ± 2.16) and (14.67 ± 4.11) scores vs. (28.54 ± 7.65) scores, (19.02 ± 5.92) and(14.10 ± 4.37) scores vs. (27.42 ± 7.34) scores; GAD-7: (4.54 ± 2.03) and (3.81 ± 1.63) scores vs. (5.69 ± 2.95) scores, (3.71 ± 2.48) and (3.32 ± 1.73) scores vs. (4.90 ± 3.17) scores; PHQ-9:(6.90 ± 2.52) and (4.98 ± 1.96) scores vs. (9.83 ± 3.71) scores, (6.15 ± 2.62) and (4.44 ± 1.81) scores vs. (9.02 ± 3.73) scores ( P<0.01). PSQI, KMI, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 scores declined between the two groups, but there were no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). After 1 month and 3 months of treatment, using PSQI scale and KMI score, the total efficiency of patients in the control group was slightly higher than that of the treatment group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05); after 1 month and 3 months of treatment, using PHQ-9 score and GAD-7 score, the total efficiency of patients in the treatment group was slightly higher than that of the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Traditional Chinese medicine combined with ear acupoint pressing has similar effects to tibolone in treating perimenopausal insomnia with kidney deficiency and liver depression. It can significantly improve the quality of sleep and quality of life of patients, and has good safety. For patients who are not suitable for hormone, Chinese medicine can be used as an alternative. The therapies are worthy of clinical application.

Fruquintinib is an effective, highly selective and oral VEGFR 1, 2 and 3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It was discovered and developed by Hutchison MediPharma for the treatment of solid tumors. In September 2018, fruquintinib received its first global approval in China for use in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who have failed at least two prior systemic anti-neoplastic therapies. Clinical studies have shown that it has the advantages of low off-target toxicity, good drug resistance and strong curative effect. This article reviews the molecular structure, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy and safety of fruquintinib, as well as its potential clinical applications in other tumor types.
