The promulgation of the Technical Specifications for Clinical Use of Blood (2025 Edition) signifies that China's clinical blood transfusion management has transitioned from mere technical operations to a new stage centered on patient blood management (PBM). Through an in-depth comparison of the new and old specifications, this paper analyzes the core transformations regarding conceptual reconstruction, legal alignment, technological upgrades, and closed-loop management. The new specifications establish PBM principles, reinforce legal safeguards for informed consent and emergency treatment, and construct a comprehensive, refined quality control system by specifying compatibility testing standards and introducing a post-transfusion evaluation system. Medical institutions should seize this opportunity to update management protocols and information systems, deepen multidisciplinary collaboration, and drive the profound transformation of clinical blood use from focusing solely on safety assurance to placing equal emphasis on science and value.

ObjectiveCell adhesion is a critical process that regulates cellular physiological functions. Quantitative characterization of adhesion dynamics is essential for elucidating the intrinsic mechanical mechanisms underlying cellular activities. Although atomic force microscopy-based single-cell force spectroscopy is widely used for single-cell adhesion measurements, it requires complex chemical modifications for preparation of live-cell probes, leading to limitations such as cumbersome operation, low throughput, and potential impacts on cell viability. Fluidic force microscopy, which combines atomic force microscopy with microfluidic probes, is a technique allowing the operation of force-controlled nanopipettes in aqueous environments. By applying negative or positive pressure via a pressure controller, a single living cell can be captured onto or released from the cantilever under physiological conditions. This procedure offers a simple workflow and high assay throughput for single-cell adhesion measurements without the need for chemical functionalization. In this study, fluidic force microscopy-based single-cell force spectroscopy was adopted to achieve long-term quantitative characterization of single-cell adhesion dynamics in a simpler and more efficient manner, comparing the dynamic differences in adhesion establishment between two cell lines with different differentiation levels. MethodsHEK 293T and hTERT RPE-1 cells were non-invasively captured on the cantilever of a fluidic force microscope via its integrated microfluidic system during 40 h of adhesion culture. Cell-substrate detachment assays were performed, and force-distance curves were recorded to extract key mechanical adhesion parameters, including adhesion force, adhesion energy, and maximum detachment distance. These measurements were combined with real-time monitoring of cell spreading area to systematically characterize the dynamic evolution of single-cell adhesion. ResultshTERT RPE-1 cells rapidly entered a stable adhesion phase within 1 h after seeding, with both area-normalized adhesion force and area-normalized adhesion energy reaching peak values. In contrast, HEK 293T cells required 4 h to achieve stable adhesion. Subsequently, the adhesion force, adhesion energy and maximum detachment distance of hTERT RPE-1 and HEK 293T cells stabilized at approximately 240 nN vs. 30 nN, 2.2 pJ vs. 0.12 pJ and 6 μm vs. 4 μm, respectively. hTERT RPE-1 cells reached the peak of area-normalized adhesion parameters earlier than HEK 293T cells, with their peak area-normalized adhesion force and area-normalized adhesion energy being substantially elevated relative to HEK 293T cells. HEK 293T cells presented stronger linear correlations among adhesion energy, maximum detachment distance and adhesion force compared with hTERT RPE-1 cells. For both cell lines, cell spreading area exhibited a weak correlation with adhesion force. Whereas the area-normalized adhesion parameters of HEK 293T cells remained relatively constant throughout the adhesion process, hTERT RPE-1 cells exhibited elevated values in the early phase, followed by a gradual decline. These results indicated distinct dynamic adhesion patterns between the two cell types, with hTERT RPE-1 cells exhibiting stronger adhesion strength and higher adhesion efficiency. ConclusionIn this study, fluidic force microscopy-based single-cell force spectroscopy was successfully applied to perform long-term in situ quantitative measurement of the adhesion dynamics in single adherent cells. The approach revealed divergent adhesion patterns between HEK 293T and hTERT RPE-1 cells, suggesting a close association between cell differentiation and adhesion behaviors. These findings provide quantitative mechanical evidence for further understanding the underlying mechanisms of cell adhesion.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of pathogens and the risk of urinary tract infection for hospitalized spinal cord injury (SCI) patients.Methods:A total of 152 hospitalized SCI patients with a urinary tract infection were randomly divided into a complicated infection group (77 cases) and an uncomplicated infection group (75 cases) according to the diagnostic criteria for urinary tract infection. Univariate analysis quantified any correlation of urinary tract infection with gender, age, etiology, course of disease, injury level, injury degree, indwelling catheter use, diabetes history, hypoproteinemia, pressure ulcers, bladder compliance, maximum bladder manometric volume, maximum detrusor pressure during urine storage and detrusor overactivity during urine storage. Multivariate logistic regressions were evaluated to determine the independent risk factors.Results:A total of 124 pathogens were found in the subjects′ urine cultures. They included 83 gram-negative (G-) bacteria (66.94%), 31 gram-positive (G+ ) bacteria (25.00%), 9 fungi (7.26%) and 1 mycoplasm. The most common G- pathogen was Escherichia coli (42, 50.60%) with Enterococcus faecium (6, 19.35%) the most common G+. Overall, the five most common pathogens were Escherichia coli (42 strains, 33.87%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (10 strains, 8.06%), Proteus mirabilis (8 strains, 6.45%), Acinetobacter baumannii (7 strains, 5.65%), and Enterococcus faecium (6 strains, 4.84%). The univariate analysis showed that the etiology, injury level, injury degree, an indwelling catheter, pressure ulcers, maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure and detrusor overactivity in the storage phase were predictors of infection. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that complete injury, an indwelling catheter, and increased maximum detrusor pressure in the storage phase were the independent risk factors.Conclusions:Escherichia coli is the most common pathogen causing urinary tract infection among SCI patients undergoing rehabilitation during hospitalization. Complete injury, an indwelling catheter, and increased maximum detrusor pressure in storage phase may be independent risk factors for urinary tract infection among such patients.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of shear wave elastography(SWE)for clinically significant prostate cancer(csPCa).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 359 cases with suspected prostate cancer(PCa)in Baoji Central Hospital from June 2017 to July 2023.All the patients underwent the following examinations in the order of serum prostate-spe-cific antigen(PSA)testing,transrectal ultrasonography(TRUS),measurement of the stiffness of the entire prostate gland by SWE,and TRUS-guided prostate puncture biopsy.The stiffness of the entire prostate gland was defined as the average of Young's modulus at both sides of the base,middle,and apex of the prostate,including the maximum Young's modulus(Emax),mean Young's modulus(Emean),and minimum Young's modulus(Emin).We analyzed the correlation of the parameters of the stiffness of the entire prostate gland with the pathological results,focusing on their diagnostic performance for csPCa.Results:Of the 359 cases,189 were diag-nosed by pathological puncture biopsy as BPH,26 as non-csPCa,and 144 as csPCa.The PSA level,Emax,Emean and Emin were significantly higher in the csPCa than those in the BPH and non-csPCa groups(all P<0.01),but showed no statistically significant difference between the BPH and non-csPCa groups(all P>0.05).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),optimal cut-off value,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value(PPV),negative predictive value(NPV)and accura-cy of Emax in the diagnosis of csPCa were 0.852,143.92 kPa,72.22%,84.65%,75.91%,81.98%and 79.67%;those of Emean were 0.868,82.42 kPa,67.36%,91.16%,83.62%,80.66%and 81.62%;and those of Emin were 0.682,32.73 kPa,47.22%,89.30%,73.91%,71.54%and 72.14%,respectively.In the non-csPCa group,Emax,Emean and Emin were found be-low the optimal cut-off value in 73.08%(19/26),92.31%(24/26)and 88.46%(23/26),respectively.Conclusion:The stiff-ness of the entire prostate gland measured by SWE contributes to the diagnosis of csPCa,reduces unnecessary detection of non-csPCa,and provides some reference for its active surveillance.

Human non-histone lysine crotonylation plays crucial roles in biological activities.However,traditional wet-lab experiments are time-consuming and labor-intensive,making computational prediction methods increasingly popular in recent years.Despite the biological importance of lysine crotonylation,there are relatively few studies on human non-histone proteins.In this study,we developed an ensemble deep learning predictor named iHNHC-RsFPN by constructing a Residual Pyramid Network(RsFPN).First,three feature extraction methods were employed to encode sequence samples.Next,weak classifi-ers based on RsFPN were individually trained for different feature types.Finally,these weak classifiers were integrated to build a robust final predictor.Independent test results demonstrated that iHNHC-RsF-PN achieved outstanding performance across four key metrics:sensitivity(Sn=0.8580),specificity(Sp=0.7463),accuracy(Acc=0.7798),and Matthews correlation coefficient(MCC=0.5586).Comparative experiments revealed that iHNHC-RsFPN significantly improved prediction accuracy for hu-man non-histone crotonylation sites over existing methods.Additionally,we established a user-friendly web server(http://www.lzzzlab.top/ihnc/)that provides straightforward prediction services without complex calculations,facilitating further research for experts in related fields.

With the increase of patients with end-stage renal disease and the increasing complexity of dialysis machines,the traditional fixed cycle empirical preventive maintenance model has revealed its disadvantages,such as wasted resources and frequent failures.This paper focuses on the optimization of the dialysis machine's proactive maintenance plan based on risk as-sessment,analyzing its cutting-edge working principles,and involving advanced technologies such as semi-permeable membranes and intelligent magnetic levitation drives.It also explores composite failures,such as nanoscale biological contamination,and provides solutions.It innovatively proposes to build a multi-dimensional integrated risk assessment system,collect heterogeneous data from multiple sources,establish a risk factor library,and develop a dynamic adaptive risk model.Based on this,a proactive maintenance strategy is designed to break the fixed cycle and use an intelligent platform to flexibly schedule maintenance accord-ing to the risk level.By integrating pre-diagnosis and self-healing technologies,it can predict and automatically repair minor fail-ures in advance using microsensors.This promotes the intelligence of the dialysis machine-related industry,but future efforts are still needed to cultivate cutting-edge technologies to protect kidney health.
