Objective: To explore the application effectiveness of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) in optimizing intelligent blood logistics transport pathways for safety assurance. Methods: Data from 1 851 cases of intelligent blood logistics transport were collected between September 2023 and March 2025. Based on the implementation phases of HFMEA measures, the cases were divided into a control group (n=120), observation group 1 (n=219), and observation group 2 (n=1 512). Through systematic analysis of the transport processes, hazard scoring and decision tree analysis were conducted for each process, and phased optimization measures were implemented for high-risk failure modes. Results: The transport duration of intelligent blood logistics was 35.5 (20.8, 71.1) min in the control group, 25.1 (10.9, 40.7) min in observation group 1, and 9.9 (4.2, 44.5) min in observation group 2. Observation group 2 exhibited significantly shorter transport time compared to both observation group 1 and the control group, with statistically significant differences between groups (P<0.000 1). Conclusion: The implementation of HFMEA-driven measures significantly reduced intelligent blood logistics transport duration, thereby fostering the evolution of smart hospital ecosystems while enhancing healthcare service quality and operational efficiency.

Objective: To evaluate the practical effectiveness of confidential unit exclusion (CUE) in ensuring blood safety in Zhengzhou, analyze its application characteristics and existing problems, and provide a basis for optimizing blood safety management strategies. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on CUE data handled by Henan Red Cross Blood Center from January 2019 to December 2024. Parameters such as the number of cases, demographic characteristics, reasons for exclusion, and time of report were statistically analyzed and compared with those of non-CUE. Results: From 2019 to 2024, the CUE reporting rate in Zhengzhou was 0.002 6% (40/1 547 666). CUE donors were predominantly male (65.00%, 26/40), aged 18-34 years (47.50%, 19/40), had college degree orabove (50.00%, 20/40), and were employees of enterprises or public institutions (32.50%, 13/40). Among the 40 CUE blood units, only one was reactive for anti-TP, while all others were qualified. The main reasons for CUE were recent vaccination (32.50%, 13/40), medical conditions unsuitable for donation (27.50%, 11/40), and high-risk sexual behavior (17.50%, 7/40). A total of 70.00% of reports occurred within 24 hours after donation, during which none of the corresponding blood units had been released; all units reported after more than 7 days had already been issued for clinical use, with no adverse transfusion reactions reported upon follow-up. Conclusion: The confidential unit exclusion program has played an active role in establishing a supplementary information feedback channel for blood donors. The procedure can be optimized by strengthening interactive communication and confirmation before donation, improving the accuracy of donors' self-assessment, and expanding convenient and rapid information-based reporting channels.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence and outcomes of vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury （VA-AKI） in critically ill patients， to analyze the independent risk factors for the development of VA-AKI and renal function outcomes in VA-AKI patients， and to evaluate the predictive performance of vancomycin treatment duration for VA-AKI occurrence， so as to provide reference for the rational and safe use of this drug.METHODS Clinical data of critically ill patients who received vancomycin during hospitalization in the intensive care unit of Zhongshan Hospital， Fudan University，from January 2022 to December 2024 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into the VA‑AKI group and the non‑AKI group according to the occurrence of VA‑AKI. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to screen for independent risk factors for VA‑AKI development and renal function outcomes in patients with VA‑AKI. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to analyze the predictive performance of vancomycin treatment duration for VA‑AKI.RESULTS A total of 1 484 patients were enrolled， among whom 287 developed VA‑AKI， with an incidence of 19.3%. The overall median time to onset was 2.5 days after vancomycin administration. Complicated hypertension， cardiac or renal insufficiency， hospital‑acquired sepsis/bacteremia， multiple organ failure， invasive mechanical ventilation during hospitalization， vancomycin treatment duration ≥10 days， and concomitant use of carbapenems or tacrolimus were independent risk factors for VA‑AKI （ P ＜0.05）. Concomitant use of vasopressors was an independent risk factor for renal function outcomes in patients with VA‑AKI （ P ＜0.05）. The area under the ROC curve （AUC） of the model using vancomycin treatment duration of predict the occurrence of VA-AKI was 0.624. At the optimal cut‑off value of 9.7 days， the sensitivity and specificity were 47.4% and 74.9%， respectively.CONCLUSIONS Critically ill patients have a relatively high incidence of VA-AKI， which mostly occurs in the early stage of vancomycin therapy. Patients with underlying cardiac-renal diseases， severe infection， requirement for mechanical ventilation， prolonged vancomycin therapy， and concomitant administration of carbapenems or tacrolimus are at high risk for VA-AKI. Concomitant vasopressor use affects renal function recovery in patients with VA-AKI. The predicted risk of acute kidney injury is higher when vancomycin treatment duration is ≥10 days.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the correlation between the quality of life （QOL） and different traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes in patients with myasthenia gravis （MG）， identifying potential influencing factors to provide new insights for clinical interventions and improving the QOL of patients with MG. MethodsA questionnaire survey was conducted on 93 adults with MG who visited the Department of Neurology at the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Chinese Medicine from March 2023 to January 2024. Statistical analysis was performed on the clinical data collected using SPSS 24.0 software. ResultsAmong the 93 patients with MG， the average score for myasthenia gravis quality of life-15 （MGQOL-15） was 17.65±6.27， and that for the 36-item short form health survey （SF-36） was （106.13±11.83） scores. The QOL was rated as good for 16 patients and moderate for 77 patients. There were no statistically significant differences in the scores of MGQOL-15， SF-36， and their individual scales by gender or education level. Age showed statistically significant differences in MGQOL-15 and the role physical （RP） scale （P<0.05）， and occupational type showed significant differences in the vitality （VT） scale （P<0.01）. The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America （MGFA） classification had statistical significance on the total SF-36 score （P<0.01）， VT scale （P<0.01）， role emotional （RE） scale （P<0.05）， social functioning （SF） scale （P<0.05）， and physical functioning （PF） scale （P<0.01）. Among patients with different TCM syndromes， there were significant differences in MGQOL-15 scores （F=4.919， P<0.01）. Moreover， significant differences were observed in SF-36 scores （P<0.01）， VT scale （P<0.01）， RE scale （P<0.05）， mental health （MH） scale （P<0.01）， and SF scale （P<0.05）. ConclusionFactors affecting the QOL of patients with MG include age， occupational type， and clinical classification of MG. Specifically， a greater impact on the QOL of older patients is observed， while physical laborers have a poorer QOL compared to non-physical laborers. Patients classified as MGFA type Ⅱ and higher have a poorer QOL. Additionally， there is a potential correlation between the QOL and TCM syndromes， with patients presenting with spleen and kidney Qi deficiency having a lower QOL than those with spleen and stomach Qi deficiency or Qi and Yin deficiency， which is particularly evident in the VT， RE， MH， and SF scales.

Objective: To establish a radio frequency identification (RFID) technology-based emergency release process of uncrossmatched type O red blood cells for trauma patients, thereby providing a reference method for blood inventory management. Methods: The medical records of uncrossmatched type O red blood cell suspension released from Jan 2023 to Dec 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The pre-implementation (2023, n=23) and post-implementation (2024, n=19) data of the RFID technology-based emergency uncrossmatched transfusion management method were compared to evaluate its effectiveness. Results: During the study period, 42 patients received a total of 92 units uncrossmatched type O red blood cell suspensions in emergency, with no case of hemolytic transfusion reactions reported. Traffic accidents were the primary cause of emergency uncrossmatched transfusion, accounting for 66.7% (28/42) of cases. The patients in observation group were significantly older than those in the control group (60.58y vs 48y, P<0.05), with a trend toward more critical trauma conditions (84.2% vs 56.5%, P=0.053). Among 29 critically injured patients, the blood release time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (2 min vs 4 min, P<0.05). After excluding deceased patients, the observation group showed shorter hospitalization duration compared to the control group (18.5 d vs 35.58 d, P<0.05). Patients treated with a high red blood cell-to-plasma ratio demonstrated a significantly higher resuscitation success rate compared to those with a low ratio (64.3% vs 30%, P<0.05). Conclusion: The implementation of the RFID technology-based emergency uncrossmatched transfusion management method can significantly reduce the blood release time, shorten average hospitalization duration, improve treatment efficiency, and ensure transfusion safety for trauma emergency patients.

A novel analytical method was developed in this study by combining online solid phase extraction with ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(Online SPE-UPLC-MS/MS)for simultaneous determination of 50 kinds of steroid hormones in surface water.Specifically,after high-speed centrifugation of 4 mL water samples,the supernatant was directly injected into an Oasis HLB online SPE column for enrichment and purification.Subsequently,the target compounds were transferred to the analytical column via valve switching for separation and analysis.The chromatographic separation was performed on a Thermo Acclaim RSLC C18 column(100 mm×2.1 mm,2.2 μm),using a mobile phase composed of 5 mmol/L ammonium fluoride aqueous solution and acetonitrile.Mass spectrometric detection was conducted in positive ion mode,utilizing multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)with quantification achieved by the internal standard method.The method validation demonstrated that the limits of detection(LOD)for the 50 kinds of steroid hormones ranged from 0.02 to 0.50 ng/L,while the limits of quantification(LOQ)were between 0.08 and 1.67 ng/L.The average recoveries in surface water samples at spiked concentrations of 5,20 and 200 ng/L were between 74.1％and 119％,with relative standard deviations(RSDs)of 0.2％to 9.9％.This method was applied to analyze 11 surface water samples collected from sites surrounding a pharmaceutical and chemical industrial park.A total of 44 kinds of steroid hormones were detected,with concentrations ranging from 0.11 to 88.6 ng/L,revealing the presence of hormone contamination in the environmental waters surrounding industrial areas.Compared with the traditional offline SPE methods,the proposed online SPE technique significantly reduced sample volume requirements and pretreatment time,while minimizing the loss of target compounds during the pretreatment process.Moreover,compared to reported online SPE techniques,this method achieved high-throughput analysis of multiple classes of steroid hormones,with lower detection limits and higher recoveries.Overall,this method provided rapid sample preparation,high sensitivity,and excellent stability,making it suitable for the direct analysis of trace steroid hormones in surface water.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPCa) in patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score≤3 on multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the case data of 335 patients with suspected prostate cancer and PI-RADS score ≤3 who were admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2013 to October 2022. All patients underwent 24-needle prostate biopsy. Clinical data such as age, body mass index, past medical history, serological laboratory indicators, and mpMRI imaging data were collected. The patients were grouped according to whether the puncture pathology was CSPCa or not, and the differences in clinical data between the two groups were analyzed by t-test, rank sum test and Chi-test. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was further used to determine independent risk factors for MRI invisible prostate cancer, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were drawn. At the same time, further subgroup analysis was conducted based on whether prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was positive before puncture and PI-RADS score, respectively, and the same statistical method was used to further determine the influence of different serological indicators and PI-RADS score on the analysis results of risk factors. Results:Among all patients, 81 were CSPCa patients and 254 were non-CSPCa patients. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) and PI-RADS score of 3 were independent risk factors for MRI invisible prostate cancer. At the same time, compared with suspected lesions located only in the transitional zone, the incidence of CSPCa in patients with suspected lesions located in the peripheral zone would increase, and the incidence of CSPCa would further increase when suspected lesions were found in both the transitional zone and the peripheral zone. In PSA-negative patients, only suspected lesion location was an independent risk factor for MRI invisible prostate cancer, while in PSA-positive patients, prostate volume, PSAD, and PI-RADS scores were independent risk factors. In subgroup analysis with different PI-RADS scores, suspicious lesions in both the transitional zone and peripheral zone indicate a higher likelihood of CSPCa. For patients with PI-RADS scores of 1 to 2, suspicious lesions in the peripheral zone alone may also indicated CSPCa, while for patients with PI-RADS scores of 3, the lower free prostate-specific antigen/total prostate-specific anti-principle was more accurate in predicting CSPCa.Conclusions:For patients who are clinically suspected of prostate cancer but whose PI-RADS score is less than or equal to 3 points indicated by mpMRI, it is necessary to further focus on the results of different serological indicators according to whether their PSA is positive and PI-RADS score respectively to judge whether patients should receive systemic prostate puncture, instead of using PSA level as a single indication for puncture. At the same time, clinicians should also pay full attention to the location of suspected lesions, when they are located in the peripheral zone, or there are suspected lesions in both the peripheral zone and the transitional zone, the possibility of CSPCa should be fully considered.

In recent years, the relationship between intestinal flora dysbiosis and abnormal bile acid metabolism and anxiety has received widespread attention. This article discussed the biological mechanism of the pathogenesis of anxiety from the perspective of intestinal flora and bile acid metabolism, in order to provide new ideas and theoretical basis for the TCM prevention and treatment of anxiety. According to TCM, spleen and stomach belong to earth, liver and gallbladder belong to wood, when spleen qi is healthy, the normal distribution of water and grain essence can be achieved, so that the liver can be nourished, qi and blood is sufficient, and its excretory function is normal, and the bile is sufficient. Once the spleen is not healthy, the distribution of water and grain essence is good, affecting the metabolism of fluids, resulting in phlegm and dampness, the qi is not smooth, can affect the liver's excretory function; liver and wood depression for a long time, transgressing the spleen and earth, qi and blood lack of biochemical sources, the formation of soil congestion and wood depression of the pathological phenomenon will appear. From the viewpoint of modern medicine and molecular biology, changes in the structure of intestinal flora affect the organism through neurological, endocrine, immune and metabolic pathways, which is consistent with the pathogenesis of "congestion of the earth"; disorders in the metabolism of bile acids can lead to changes in neurotransmitters and synaptic structure in the brain, causing anxiety symptoms, which is consistent with the characteristics of "wood depression". The bile acid metabolism disorder can cause neurotransmitter and synaptic structure changes in the brain, causing anxiety symptoms, which is consistent with the characteristics of "wood depression". It is important to regulate the intestinal flora and bile acid metabolism pathway to ease the liver and strengthen the spleen to improve anxiety.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of pudendal nerve modulation (PNM) in the treatment of female pudendal neuralgia (PN)，so as to promote the clinical application of this technique. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 female PN patients who failed conservative treatment at Gongli Hospital during Nov.2020 and Oct.2023.All patients underwent simultaneous PNM and sacral nerve modulation (SNM) with the assistance of 3D printing navigation.Dual-stage test electrodes for PNM and SNM were implanted，followed by alternate therapeutic trial for each modality.Secondary conversion rates and longitudinal outcomes，including visual analogue score (VAS)，patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)，and quality of life (QoL) scores were compared preoperatively，post-stage Ⅰ，and at 3，6，and 12 months post-stage Ⅱ. Results: All operations were successful.After the trial phase，the secondary conversion rate for PNM was significantly higher than that for SNM; 16 patients (16/20，80%) chose the second-phase PNM implantation surgery，3 (3/20，15%) chose second-phase SNM implantation，and 1 (1/20，5%) had electrodes removed due to ineffective results from both trials.Further assessment revealed that the improvements in VAS，PHQ-9，and QoL scores for PNM patients were significantly better than those for SNM patients after the first phase of surgery and at 3，6 and 12 months after the second-phase conversion (P<0.05).No complications such as electrode migration or infection were observed during the follow-up of 12-15 months. Conclusion: PNM provides more effective relief of pain symptoms and improvements in depressive states for female PN patients compared to SNM.With the assistance of 3D printing navigation，the operation is simple and safe，and offers stable therapeutic effects.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the independent risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae （CRKP） infection， develop a nomogram prediction model and validate it. METHODS Clinical data of hospitalized patients infected with CRKP between April 2020 and May 2023 at Kunming First People’s Hospital were retrospectively collected and matched 1∶1 with patients infected with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae （CSKP） during the same period as the modeling group. Using the same criteria， data from patients hospitalized and infected with CRKP and matched CSKP between June 2023 and June 2024 were collected as the validation group. Univariate analysis， LASSO regression and multivariate Logistic regression were conducted to identify independent risk factors for CRKP infection and to develop a nomogram prediction model. Internal validation of the model was performed using Bootstrap resampling， and external validation was carried out using the data of validation group. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves and calibration plots. RESULTS A total of 530 patients were enrolled， with 372 in the modeling group and 158 in the validation group. Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agents were identified as independent risk factors for CRKP infection （P＜0.05）. The nomogram predicting CRKP infection risk achieved an area under ROC of 0.729 and 0.803 in internal and external validations， respectively. Calibration curves indicated a high degree of consistency between predicted and observed probabilities. CONCLUSIONS Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agent are independent risk factors for CRKP infection. The developed nomogram model for predicting CRKP infection risk demonstrates good predictive performance and can aid in the early identification of patients at high risk for CRKP infection.
