Objective: To establish and validate a whole blood (WB) supply model, thereby providing practical experience for the clinical application of WB in domestic trauma emergency care and informing the development of a wartime blood supply system for the military. Methods: A “10×24” WB supply model was established by formulating blood collection protocols, storage standards, and transfusion criteria. Multiple WB samples were tested under specific storage conditions to assess key indicators at different time points, including red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), and platelet counts, hemoglobin concentration, coagulation parameters (PT, APTT, TT, FIB), coagulation factor activity, thromboelastography (TEG) parameters, and electrolyte levels. Additionally, clinical data from hemorrhagic patients who met the criteria for WB transfusion and were admitted between March and July 2024 were analyzed to evaluate WB transfusion volume. Results: RBC counts and hemoglobin levels remained stable in WB stored at 4℃ for up to 10 days. However, platelet counts and coagulation function (PT, APTT) significantly declined with prolonged storage, while potassium levels increased. From March to July 2024, the model was successfully applied to 23 patients with acute hemorrhage, with a median WB transfusion volume of 543 mL. A detailed case study of a severe traumatic hemorrhagic shock patient was reported, who was successfully treated with 5.5 units of refrigerated WB combined with component blood. Conclusion: The “10×24” WB supply model demonstrated acceptable changes in critical quality parameters under strict management and a 10-day rotation cycle. This model effectively supports the treatment of acute hemorrhage and holds promise for integration into the future wartime blood supply system of the military.

Objective:To investigate the mosquito-borne viruses carried by mosquito specimens collected from Huachuan county and Huanan county in Heilongjiang province.Methods:Mosquito samples were collected locally in 2023 and processed in the laboratory. Homogenates of the mosquitoes were inoculated into cells for virus isolation, followed by molecular and bioinformatics analyses of the viral isolates.Results:In 2023, ten viral isolates were obtained from Anopheles sinensis specimens collected in Heilongjiang province, China. Among these isolates, one was identified as Culex flavivirus (CxFV), one as Menghai rhabdovirus (MRV), and eight as Nam Dinh virus (NDiV). The phylogenetic analysis showed that CxFV belongs to genotype I and is clustered with the strains isolated from Liaoning province in 2011 and Ningxia Hui autonomous Region in 2019 in the same evolutionary branch, with amino acid similarity ranging from 98.2% to 99.2% and nucleotide similarity ranging from 98.8% to 99.2%. The MRV strain belongs to the same evolutionary subclade as the strain detected in Guangdong, with both nucleotide and amino acid similarity of 98.0%. Eight NDiV isolates clustered with the South Korean isolates on the same evolutionary branch, forming an independent evolutionary sub-branch. The nucleotide similarity among these eight isolates ranged from 98.5% to 99.7%, while the amino acid similarity ranged from 98.1% to 99.7%. In comparison, when matched with other NDiV isolates from China, the nucleotide similarity of these eight isolates ranged from 94.1% to 97.8%, and the amino acid similarity ranged from 93.5% to 97.7%.Conclusions:This study represents the first isolation of CxFV, MRV, and NDiV in Heilongjiang province, China, and the findings provide fundamental data for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne viral diseases in this region.

Objective:To establish a method for the rapid detection of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) by recombinase-aid amplification (RAA) combined with Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a system.Methods:Clinical samples of suspected herpes zoster in Shandong province and Shanghai from 2023 to 2024 were collected, nucleic acids of positive samples were extracted, RAA-specific primers and crRNA (CRISPR RNA, crRNA) were designed for the conserved region of VZV, and the fluorescence intensity generated by Cas12a non-specific cleavage of single-stranded fluorescent probes was used to screen highly sensitive crRNAs and optimize the concentrations of crRNA, Cas12a and ssDNA probes. The sensitivity and reproducibility of the RAA-CRISPR/Cas12a detection method were evaluated by using synthesized plasmids and clinical samples, and the specificity of the method was evaluated by using other viral nucleic acids. The method was used to detect clinical samples by using the method and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) method, and the detection rate and consistency of the two method were compared.Results:The highly sensitive crRNA-4 was screened from the four crRNAs designed, and a VZV detection method for RAA-CRISPR/CAS12a based on fluorescence intensity measurement was established, which could be detected at 37℃ in 45 min, and the sensitivity of the detection could reach 10 copies/μL, a minimum clinical sample with a Ct value of 38.980 can be detected. It has high specificity and no cross-reactivity with Adenovirus 7, Herpes simplex virus type I, Herpes simplex virus type II, Coxsackieviruses A16, Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, Measles virus, Mumps virus, Enterovirus 71, Japanese encephalitis virus genotype 5. It has good stability, and can be successfully detected in low, medium and high concentrations of viral positive plasmids with good consistency. The detection rate of the clinically positive samples was 100%, which was completely consistent with the qPCR test result.Conclusions:RAA isothermal amplification technology combined with CRISPR-CAS12a technology was used to establish an accurate method for the detection of VZV virus, which was highly sensitive, specific, and had low requirements for experimental conditions, and could be completed within 45 min, which could provide strong technical support for the early detection of VZV.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of preserving the urethral ridge during Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate(HoLEP)in preventing postoperative retrograde ejaculation and to evaluate its impact on sexual function.Methods:This prospective cohort study enrolled patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)who underwent HoLEP at Xiamen Haicang Hospital(Haicang Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen Medical College)from November 2022 to June 2024. Inclusion criteria were as follows:diagnosis of BPH confirmed by color Doppler ultrasound;International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS)> 7;maximum urinary flow rate(Q max)< 15 ml/s;prostate-specific antigen(PSA)< 4 ng/ml;and an active sexual life with intact antegrade ejaculation. Exclusion criteria included neurogenic bladder,active urinary tract infection(UTI),and other relevant conditions. Patients were grouped based on the operating surgeon's comprehensive judgment during surgery,considering the degree of prostatic median lobe hyperplasia(preserved if hyperplasia was mild,not preserved if severe). The EP-HoLEP group underwent “tunnel technique” enucleation of the middle lobe hyperplasia with preservation of the urethral ridge,while the HoLEP group underwent conventional prostate enucleation. Primary outcomes included postoperative retrograde ejaculation rate,International Index of Erectile Function(IIEF),Ejaculation Projection Score(EPS),IPSS,Quality of Life Score(QOL),Q max,post-void residual urine volume(PVR),operative time,and postoperative complications. Univariate analysis was used to screen potential influencing factors,followed by multivariate logistic regression to identify independent predictors. Results:Seventy patients with BPH were enrolled,with 35 in each group. Baseline characteristics,including age[(69.97 ± 5.14)years vs.(72.34 ± 5.08)years],body mass index(BMI)[(22.99 ± 1.41)kg/m2 vs.(23.16 ± 1.38)kg/m2],prostate volume[47.4(31.9,59.4)ml vs. 44.2(34.9,61.7)ml],PSA[4.0(1.9,8.2)ng/ml vs. 3.1(2.6,5.0)ng/ml],hemoglobin[(130.09 ± 12.92)g/L vs.(125.69 ± 17.26)g/L],IPSS[17(10,22)vs. 17(10,27)],QOL[5(4,5)vs. 4(4,5)],Q max[7.5(6.3,9.1)ml/s vs. 7.0(5.9,8.9)ml/s]and PVR[65(22,167)ml vs. 60(16,150)ml]showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups( P > 0.05). Operative time[65(55,76)min vs. 63(55,73)min],postoperative 2-hour hemoglobin[(124.17 ± 14.89)g/L vs.(120.11 ± 15.44)g/L],and postoperative hospital stay[(3.94 ± 1.89)days vs.(3.66 ± 1.53)days]were also comparable between the two groups( P > 0.05). No significant difference was observed in the decrease in IIEF score[1(0,2)vs. 2(0,6), P = 0.203]. EPS at 3 months[2(1,3)vs. 1(0,2), P < 0.001]and at 6 months[2(1,2)vs. 1(0,2), P < 0.001]postoperatively were significantly higher in the EP-HoLEP group. The incidence of postoperative UTI did not differ significantly[5.7%(2/35)vs. 2.9%(1/35), P = 1.00]. Two cases of urinary retention occurred after catheter removal in the EP-HoLEP group,while none occurred in the HoLEP group. No blood transfusions or urethral strictures were reported in either group. The incidence of retrograde ejaculation was significantly lower in the EP-HoLEP group[28.6%(10/35)vs. 68.6%(24/35), P <0.001]. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that urethral ridge preservation was an independent protective factor for retrograde ejaculation after HoLEP( OR = 0.159,95% CI 0.053 ? 0.476, P = 0.001). Conclusions:Urethral ridge preservation during HoLEP is safe and feasible,significantly reduces retrograde ejaculation,and preserves ejaculatory function,though it offers limited erectile function preservation. This approach is suitable for middle-aged,young,or younger elderly patients who prioritize ejaculatory quality,and provides clinical evidence for surgical optimization.

In February 2025, a local cluster outbreak caused by the D8 genotype Measles virus (MV) was first discovered in Henan Province. Epidemiological investigations and laboratory testing were conducted, including the collection of serum and throat swabs for MV IgM antibody and nucleic acid detection, virus isolation and genetic homology analysis. Measures such as close contact tracing, vaccination rate assessment and supplementary immunization activities were implemented, successfully preventing broader community transmission. A total of three cases were reported during the outbreak, including one imported-related adolescent and two secondary local adult cases. All cases presented with typical symptoms such as fever and rash. Both adult cases were complicated by pneumonia, with one case developing into severe pneumonia. MV genotyping showed that the two secondary cases were both the D8 genotype, with the viral sequences being completely homologous to the Kazakhstan strain. Among the close contacts, 98.2% were adults, and 142 individuals received emergency vaccination.

Objective:To investigate the related factors of kidney injury in patients with masked hypertension (MHT).Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 311 MHT patients who visited Dongguan Liaobu Community Health Service from June 1,2022 to June 1, 2023 were enrolled in the study. The complete blood biochemistry, urinary microalbumin and 24-hour urinary protein tests were conducted, and the risk factors of renal injury in MHT patients were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression.Results:The age of the 311 enrolled patients was(48.8±9.2)years, with 192 males(61.7%) There were 73 cases with microalbuminuria (MAU), accounting for 23.47% (73/311); and 28 cases of positive 24-hour urine total protein (24-hour UTP), accounted for 9.00% (28/311). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose level and mean nocturnal systolic blood pressure were independent risk factors of positive MAU in MHT patients ( OR=1.577, 95% CI: 1.049-2.370, P=0.030; OR=1.024, 95% CI: 1.001-1.047, P=0.038), while older age was a protective factor of MAU ( OR=0.965, 95% CI: 0.935-0.997, P=0.030); mean nocturnal systolic pressure, 24-hour mean systolic pressure and mean diurnal systolic pressure were independent risk factors of positive 24-hour UTP in MHT patients ( OR=1.031,95% CI: 1.000-1.064, P=0.049; OR=1.048,95% CI: 1.008-1.091, P=0.020; OR=1.042,95% CI: 1.003-1.083, P=0.035). Conclusion:Older age, fasting blood glucose, mean nocturnal systolic pressure, 24-hour mean systolic pressure and mean diurnal systolic pressure are associated with the renal injury in MHT patients.

AIM:To investigate the protective effects of soy isoflavones on retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)damage in diabetic rats and related mechanisms.METHODS: Totally 80 male SD rats(80 eyes), aged 4-6 weeks, were randomly divided into four groups(n=20 per group): a control group, a diabetic model group, a low-dose soy isoflavone treatment group, and a high-dose soy isoflavone treatment group. Among them, the control group was fed normal chow, while the diabetic group, soy isoflavone low-dose-treated group, and soy isoflavone high-dose-treated group were fed high-fat chow. After a feeding period of 4 wk, rats in the diabetic group, as well as those in the soy isoflavone low-dose and high-dose treatment groups, were injected intraperitoneally with streptozotocin(STZ)at a dose of 50 mg/kg to establish a diabetic model. Rats in the control group received an equivalent volume of sodium citrate buffer acid. The soy isoflavone low-dose-treated group was administered 360 mg/kg of soy isoflavones daily via gavage, while the soy isoflavone high-dose-treated group received 540 mg/kg of soy isoflavones daily via gavage. Both the control group and the diabetic group were given an equal amount of purified water daily via gavage. Body weight and blood glucose levels were measured at 4 and 8 wk post-gavage treatment. The eyes were extracted and the retinas were dissected at 8 wk following the gavage treatment. The number of RGCs in each group was determined using immunochemical tissue staining and protein blotting techniques, while the superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and malondialdehyde(MDA)content of the rat retinal tissue were measured through histochemical methods.RESULTS: Compared with diabetic rats, treatment with high-dose soy isoflavones for 8 wk resulted in a reduction of blood glucose to 8.9±1.23 mmol/L, an increase in intraretinal SOD activity to 849.93±63.71 U/mgprot, a decrease in MDA content to 45.77±0.59 nmol/mgprot, and an increase in the number of RGCs to 76±1 cells/mm2, which is comparable to the control group's data(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Soy isoflavones can reduce retinal oxidative stress in diabetic rats and protect RGCs.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of perforator-based bilobed flaps in the treatment of stage 4 pressure ulcers.Methods:This retrospective observational study included 29 patients (21 males, 8 females) with stage 4 pressure ulcers admitted to the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery and Wound Repair at Xuzhou First People's Hospital from August 2021 to May 2023. The patients' ages ranged from 12 to 82 (61.3±15.7) years. For ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers, reconstruction was performed using a posterior femoral bilobed flap based on the first perforator of the deep femoral artery, combined with a small gluteus maximus muscle flap. Sacrococcygeal pressure ulcers were repaired using a bilobed flap based on the superior or inferior gluteal artery perforator. Post-operative follow-up lasted for 2-36 months, during which flap survival and complications were assessed.Results:All the 29 bilobed flaps were successfully rotated and provided for adequate coverage without the need for pedicle division or perforator vessel dissection. Primary healing was achieved in 26 cases, with suture removal occurring two weeks post-operatively. Three patients experienced partial wound dehiscence and marginal necrosis due to post-operative pressure, which healed after two weeks of debridement and dressing changes. During follow-up for 2-36 months, no pressure ulcer recurrence was observed. The flaps demonstrated excellent survival, with soft texture, good elasticity, and adequate blood supply. The donor sites healed with only linear scars, and no severe complications were reported.Conclusion:Bilobed flaps based on artery perforators demonstrate excellent clinical outcomes in the treatment of stage 4 pressure ulcers.

Objective:To investigate the development trajectory of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in elderly patients with depression and analyze the influencing factors of its categorical differences.Methods:The elderly patients with depression who received treatment in Shaoxing Seventh People′s Hospital from May 2021 to May 2024, were selected as the research subjects through convenience sampling. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using 21-Item Subjective Cognitive Decline Questionnaire on the second day of admission, one week after treatment, one month after treatment, and three months after treatment. The optimal number of categories was analyzed and classified using a growth mixed model. Potential independent influencing factors between categories were analyzed through multivariate logistic regression.Results:This study included 200 elderly patients with depression, including 79 males and 121 females, aged (70.00 ± 3.15) years.The development trajectory of SCD can be divided into three potential categories. Among them, the low SCD persistent type accounts for 49% (98/200), the high SCD remission type accounts for 22% (44/200), and the high SCD persistent type accounts for 29% (58/200).The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, place of residence, occupation, history of hypertension, Hamilton Depression Scale-17(HAMD-17) score, presence of visual impairment, slow gait, nutritional risk, and fall status within the past year were independent influencing factors for the development of SCD in elderly patients with depression ( χ2 values were 4.51-11.24, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The development of SCD in elderly patients with depression is consistent to some extent, influenced by factors such as HAMD-17 score, visual impairment, and nutritional risk. This suggests that personalized plans can be developed for different types of development in the care of elderly patients with depression, and timely interventions can be made for the development of SCD in patients.
