Objective: To analyze the etiologic distribution of difficult crossmatching and the characteristics of red blood cell antibodies, to summarize compatible transfusion strategies based on serological abnormalities, and to evaluate red blood cell transfusion efficacy and changes in bilirubin levels before and after transfusion. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on difficult crossmatching cases handled by the Department of Blood Transfusion of our hospital from January 2024 to December 2025. Cases that met the criteria for difficult crossmatching determination and had complete data were included in the analysis of the causes and antibody distribution. Patients who completed red blood cell transfusion and had complete hemoglobin (Hb) data before and within 24 hours after transfusion were included in the exploratory subgroup analysis of transfusion efficacy; among them, those who also had total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin data before and after the corresponding transfusion event were included in the bilirubin analysis. According to the main serological abnormal manifestations before transfusion and the actual compatible transfusion management pathways, the cases included in the exploratory subgroup analysis were divided into three groups: the alloantibody-related difficult crossmatching group, the autoantibody-related or autoantibody combined with alloantibody-related difficult crossmatching group, and the ABO blood group identification abnormality-related difficult crossmatching group. The Hb levels before and after transfusion, the Hb increase after transfusion of each unit of red blood cells, and the changes in bilirubin levels before and after transfusion were compared among the groups. Results: A total of 322 difficult crossmatching cases met the predefined criteria, of which 287 were included in the analysis of causes and antibody distribution. There were 183 cases of alloantibody-related difficult crossmatching (63.76%), 54 cases related to inconsistency between ABO forward and reverse typing (18.82%), 44 cases related to autoantibodies (15.33%), and 6 cases related to interference from anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody drugs (2.09%). Among the 183 alloantibody-related cases, 79 cases had only a single alloantibody detected, among which antibodies of the Rh blood group system accounted for 49.37% (39/79). Among single alloantibodies, anti-E was detected most frequently, with 35 cases (44.30%), followed by anti-M with 19 cases (24.05%) and anti-Le with 13 cases (16.46%). A total of 109 cases were included in the exploratory subgroup analysis of transfusion efficacy, including 76 cases in the alloantibodyrelated difficult crossmatching group, 17 cases in the autoantibody-related or autoantibody combined with alloantibody-related difficult crossmatching group, and 16 cases in the ABO blood group identification abnormality-related difficult crossmatching group. The sex distribution and history of previous transfusion differed between cases included in and not included in this analysis. The Hb levels after transfusion in all three groups were higher than those before transfusion, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The Hb increase per unit of red blood cells did not differ significantly among the three groups (P=0.086). Among 73 cases with paired total and indirect bilirubin data corresponding to the transfusion events, the comparison of changes in total bilirubin among the three groups showed no statistically significant difference (P=0.864), and the comparison of changes in indirect bilirubin among the three groups also showed no statistically significant difference (P=0.914). Conclusion: Alloantibody-related factors were the main causes of difficult crossmatching in this study. Among single alloantibodies, Rh blood group system antibodies, especially anti-E, were relatively common. In the included exploratory subgroup, after individualized compatible transfusion based on the causes of difficult crossmatching, antibody specificities, and crossmatching results, Hb levels were higher after transfusion than before transfusion in all three groups. Within the scope of this study, the magnitude of bilirubin changes did not differ significantly among the different types of difficult crossmatching.

Aim To explore the role of the ten-eleven translocation 2(TET2)/ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase hinge protein(UQCRH)axis in the inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC)apoptosis by fibroblast growth fac-tor-2(FGF-2).Methods Cultured VSMCs were divided into control group,FGF-2 group,and FGF-2+fibroblast growth factor receptor(FGFR)pan-inhibitor LY2874455 group.VSMCs overexpressing TET2(OETET2)or UQCRH(OEUQCRH)were divided into control group,FGF-2 group,and OETET2+FGF-2 or OEUQCRH+FGF-2 group.Ho-echst33342 and PI staining were used to detect cell apoptosis,CCK-8 assay was employed to measure cell proliferation,and Western blot was used to examine the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins pro-Caspase-3,cleaved Caspase-3,Bax,Bcl-2,as well as TET2 and UQCRH.The NCBI and methprimer websites were utilized for predicting and analyzing CpG island sites in the UQCRH gene promoter.Results FGF-2 could inhibit VSMC apoptosis,promote proliferation,downregulate apoptosis-related proteins cleaved Caspase-3,Bax,TET2,and UQCRH expression,and upregulate anti-ap-optotic protein Bcl-2 expression(compared with control group,P＜0.05).However,it did not affect pro-Caspase-3 ex-pression(compared with control group,P＞0.05).LY2874455 could counteract the effects of FGF-2(compared with FGF-2 group,P＜0.05).Overexpression of TET2 or UQCRH could reverse the anti-apoptotic and pro-proliferative effects of FGF-2 on VSMC,with upregulation of apoptosis-related protein expression and downregulation of anti-apoptotic protein expression(compared with FGF-2 group,P＜0.05).The UQCRH gene promoter region contained three CpG islands.Overexpression of TET2 could upregulate UQCRH expression in VSMC treated with FGF-2(compared with FGF-2 group,P＜0.05).Conclusion FGF-2,by inhibiting TET2 expression and UQCRH expression,reduces VSMC apoptosis and promotes its proliferation.

Microvascular invasion (MVI) is an independent predictor of early recurrence and poor prognosis following hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resection and transplantation. As a novel non-invasive diagnostic tool, radiomics can extract the quantitative imaging features of tumors and peritumoral tissues with high throughput, providing more information on tumor heterogeneity than conventional and functional imaging of visual analysis and having a good application prospect in predicting the presence of MVI in HCC patients, thereby improving the accuracy of HCC diagnosis and prognosis. The value of the multimodal radiomics method based on various imaging methods in evaluating the possibility of MVI in HCC patients is elucidated here in combination with the latest research progress.

Objective:To explore the initial experience of thoracoscopic repair with simplified mattress sutures in the treatment of diaphragmatic hernia in neonates without posterolateral rim of diaphragm.Methods:A retrospective review of the new simplified technique in 10 cases from March 2015 to October 2017 was performed.Of the patients, 6 cases were male, 4 cases were female.The age was 10min-1d, 7 cases were term newborns, and 3 cases were premature.The mean weight was 2.88 kg(ranged 2.3-3.5kg). All the 4 cases were left-sided.Two to three primary suture sites were taken from the relative intercostal region of the body surface projection of the defect.A snip incision about 1 mm of the skin was done.Two 2-0 non-absorbable sutures round the rib were inserted between the front edged of the defect and the diaphragm muscle through a syringe needle.The first thread was brought out of the body by the ring of the second thread and knot tying was made extracorporally.The posterolateral defect was closed; the knot was under the skin of intercostals space.Results:Ten neonates with CDH were repaired successfully using this new simplified technique.The mean operative time was 37.5min(ranged 25-60min) for each CDH repair.No cases required conversion to open surgery, blood loss was minimal.The 10 cases were followed up for 16.5 months(ranged 5-24 months), with no death and no recurrence.One neonate complicated with subcutaneous emphysema postoperatively and healed in one week.Conclusion:The new technique of thoracoscopic repairing with simplified mattress sutures when no posterolateral rim of diaphragm exists has all the advantages of thoracoscopy in neonates combined with the advantages of reduced operative time, simplicity, feasibility and definite curative effect and has the value of clinical popularization.

Objective:To explore the possibility of laparoscopic simple oblique duodenoduodenostomy in the management of congenital duodenal obstruction in neonates.Methods:The clinical data of neonates with congenital duodenal obstruction undergoing laparoscopic simple oblique duodenoduodenostomy at Huaian Women and Children′s Hospital from February 2015 to February 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.By a lower-pressure pneumoperitoneum of 5-8mmHg and a suspending suture for right liver elevator, the procedure was performed using 4 ports: a transumbilical 5-mm port for the camera and another three 3-mm ports for instruments.After kocherizing of the proximal and distant part of the duodenum, the lower duodenum was incised longitudinally 0.5-1cm distal to the blocked end, the upper duodenum incision was placed 0.5cm away from the blocked end extended downward obliquely.The duodenoduodenostomy was performed as a " simple" " oblique" anastomosis with 5-0 PDS suture.Results:Fifteen patients were identified with a median age at operation of 2 days.Of all the cases, 4 cases were duodenal atresia (type Ⅲ), 11 cases were annular pancreas, and 7 cases of them were annular pancreas complicated with congenital intestinal malrotation.All cases were treated with laparoscopic simple oblique duodenoduodenostomy.Ladd procedure was accomplished in 7 cases with congenital intestinal malrotation in the meantime.The average operative time was (115.0±25.5) min (70-145 min). Feedings were started on postoperative 4-10d (mean 6.0d), without abdominal distention and vomit, all patients were discharged in good health with a median postoperative hospital stay of 7-14d(mean 10.6d). There was no mortality rate, no conversion to laparotomy, and no intraopertive complications in the group.The cases were followed-up for 2-36 months (mean 15.6 months), and all cases were doing well.Conclusion:Laparoscopic simple oblique duodenoduodenostomy is safe and efficacious in neonatal period, and can be a viable option in the treatment of neonates with congenital duodenal obstruction.

Objective To explore the clinical value of portal exposure in laparoscopic treatment of children with type Ⅲ biliary atresia (BA).Methods From June 2013 to October 2017,30 infants with type Ⅲ BA who treated with laparoscopic portoenterostomy in Huai'an Women and Children's Hospital were selected.A percutaneous suture was used to snare the round ligament and retract the liver,other percutaneous stay sutures were then introduced and fundus and neck of gallbladder were sutured to elevate the liver to expose the portal hepatis.The fibro cord and hepatic vessels were mobilized,and then two rubber bands were put around the left and right portal veins and hepatic arteries.The portal hepatis was exposed by laterally stretching the two elastic rubber bands.The fibro cord was removed and then laparoscopic portoenterostomy was accomplished.In 20 cases,the liver was enlarged,part of hepatic lobus quadratus was removed laparoscopiclly for exposure of the portal hepatis.Results There were 30 cases in this group,2 cases were converted to open surgery by a micro transverse incision.There was no surgical death.Time of laparoscopic procedure varied from 210 to 280 min.All cases survived the surgery without any intraoperative complications.Blood loss during operation was minimal,without necessity for blood transfusion.One case died of respiratory failure one week after surgery.Two cases were lost follow-up.Twenty-five cases were followed up for 3～51 months(mean 22.4 months).Three cases died because of repeated cholangitis and liver failure at 10,16,35 months postoperatively.Nineteen patients' total bilirubin had dropped to normal,three others' bilirubin levels dropped significantly after surgery.Conclusion The technique of laparoscopic hepatic porta exposure can help to complete hepatic portoenterostomy successfully,reduce the conversion rate of laparoscopic surgery,and improve the surgical effect.

Objective To analyze the detection results of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods A total of150 NAFLD patients admitted to our hospital were selected as study group, and 150 healthy people with physical examination in the same period were as the control group. Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), waist-hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (TC), ApoB, creatinine (Cr), SUA levels were measured in the two groups. The correlation between SUA, ApoB and NAFLD was analyzed by multiple Logistic regression analysis. At the same time, smoking, coronary heart disease, diabetes and hypertension were compared between the two groups. Results The levels of LDL-C, TG, ALT, WHR, TC, BMI, SUA and ApoB in the study group were higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0. 05). The levels of Cr in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P ＜ 0. 05). The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that the levels of SUA and ApoB were independently and positively correlated with NAFLD and were independent risk factors for NAFLD. The incidences of smoking, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus and hypertension were significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion The levels of SUA and ApoB are positively correlated with NAFLD. The higher the levels of SUA and ApoB are, the higher the incidence of cardiovascular disease is. Therefore, blood lipid intervention should be carried out in time to control the development of NAFLD.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of TCM injection. METHODS:Each 660 medical records were selected from 9 hospitals of Luzhou city before(Jan.-Mar. in 2015)and after(Jan.-Mar. in 2017)administrative intervention and pharmaceutical intervention(called"intervention"for short)according to random number tablet. The consumption sum,DDDs and B/A,utilization,per capita,cost of drug and TCM injection,rational and irrational use were compared before and after intervention. RESULTS:After intervention,total consumption sum and DDDs of 10 TCM injections were decreased in 7 hospitals compared to before intervention,but those of 2 hospitals were increased slightly. Before and after intervention,consumption sum of Xueshuangtong for injection took up the first place among 10 kinds of TCM injection. Top 5 injections in the list of DDDs were the same generally,i.e. Xuesaitong for injection,Xueshuangtong for injection,Shenmai injection,Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection and Safflower yellow for injection.10 kinds of TCM injections with B/A>1 included Xuesaitong for injection, Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection,Safflower yellow for injection and Gastrodin injection. After intervention,utilization rate of 10 TCM injections(24.70%)was significantly lower than before intervention(32.42%),rational rate of TCM injection(61.35%)was significantly higher than before intervention(41.59%),with statistical significance(P<0.01). After intervention,the per capita cost of TCM injection,the incidence of function inconsistency,excessive dose,irrational solvent selection,insufficient solvent amount and non-individual injection were significantly lower than before intervention,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in per capita cost of drug,the irrational utilization rate of repeated medication or excessive long treatment course before and after intervention(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The administrative intervention combined with pharmaceutical intervention promote more safe,rational and economical use of TCM injection.

Early small hepatocellular carcinoma (SHCC) can be cured by surgery and interventional operation to improve the survival rate of paitents,so the accurate diagnosis of SHCC is of great significance.Presently,the dynamic contrast-enhanced MR scan could only obtain single arterial phase imaging by single breath hold,and it had breathing motion artifact because of the long scanning time.The early arterial transient enhancement of SHCC was easy to be misdiagnosed.The CAIPIRINHA-Dixon-TWIST-VIBE (CDT-VIBE) sequence couldobtain high-quality multiple arterial phases images and hepatic arterial dominant (HAD) images in short-time scanning.And it could not only detect small focal lesions which were difficult to find by other imaging examination,but also find the start enhanced difference between lesions which were relevant to lesions property and blood supplement.The CDT-VIBE has a high clinical value in diagnosis and treatment of SHCC.The research progresses of CDT-VIBE in diagnosis of SHCC was reviewed in this article.
