Objective To explore the reliability of the reagent burstbead for field blood transfusion compatibility testing by applying it to bloodtype detection,antibody screening and cross matching tests and conduting parallel contrast with the existing arrays.Methods A field treatment shelter was used as the testing site to simulate the scene of emergency blood transfusion for the wounded under the conditions of field blood station,and 1 358 pieces of blood samples sent to some hospital for examination before transfusion were considered as the objects.Parallel contrast tests were carried out between the reagent burstbead method and the tube method for bloodtype detection and between the reagent burstbead method and the manual polybrene method for antibody screening and cross matching.The reagent burstbead method was compared with other methods in terms of the coin-cidence rate of the bloodtype detection results,the detection rate of positive samples for antibody screening and crossmatch incompatibility.Results The reagent burstbead method and the tube method had high consistency when used for bloodtype detection,with the coincidence rate being 100％.During antibody screening and cross matching tests,the reagent burstbead method found 5 cases of antibody-positive samples leading to major crossmatch incompatibility(positive rate being 0.37％),the manual polybrene method detected 2 cases of irregular antibody-positive samples(positive rate being 0.15％),and the two methods both identified 3 cases of minor crossmatch incompatibility.Conclusion The reagent burstbead has high accuracy and reliability when applied to bloodtype detection,antibody screening and cross matching tests,and thus can be used for blood transfusion compatibility testing in field conditions.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(2):39-42]

OBJECTIVE To explore the active components of Curcumae Rhizome as well as its potential value for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis(CP)using a combination of network pharmacology and bioinformatic approaches.METHODS Network pharma-cology methods were used to screen the active ingredients of Curcumae Rhizome and potential therapeutic targets for CP,and their ex-pression abundance and distribution in different cell types of CP were further analyzed in combination with CP tissue RNA sequencing data from publicly available databases.Molecular docking was performed to analyze the binding of the active components of Curcumae Rhizome to CP-related targets.Finally,the role of these core targets in pancreatic stellate cell(PSC)activation and related pathways was analyzed by single-cell RNA-sequencing to assess the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic potential of the active ingredients of Curcumae Rhizome in CP treatment.RESULTS The most effective component of Curcumae Rhizome,Hederagenin,was identified by network pharmacological analysis,and its two therapeutic targets associated with CP were identified:LYZ and Rxra.Molecular doc-king results demonstrated that Hederagenin had an extremely strong binding capacity to the Rxra protein(affinity score=-7.392 kcal·mol-1),a core target of CP.Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis further demonstrated that the hub target Rxra gene was closely associated with PSC activation and played an important role in PTN and TGF-β signaling pathways,the activation of which played a crucial role in the progression of chronic inflammation and fibrosis.CONCLUSION Curcumae Rhizome may provide new clues for the treatment of CP by inhibiting PSC activation.

Objective To investigate the pathogenic bacteria and risk factors of urinary tract infection (UTI) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM), and construct a prediction model. Methods Elderly patients with T2DM who were admitted to General Hospital of Western Theater Command from January 2020 to March 2023 were selected. They were divided into the observation group (100 cases) and the control group (82 cases) according to the presence or absence of UTI. Pathogenic bacteria was detected, and influencing factors were analyzed. A prediction model was constructed, and its predictive value was evaluated. Results Escherichia coli was the main pathogenic bacteria of UTI in elderly patients with T2DM. There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, 24 h urinary albumin (UALB), serum creatinine (Scr) , blood urea nitrogen (BUN), fasting blood glucose (FBG), gender, complications, course of T2DM , length of hospital stay and serum albumin (ALB) (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis found that advanced age, long course of T2DM, FBG ≥11.1mmol/L and high 24 hUA1b/Scr level were risk factors for UTI in elderly patients with T2DM, and high ALB level was a protective factor. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the constructed model to predict UTI in patients with T2DM was 0.978. The sensitivity and specificity were 91.00% and 97.56%. Conclusion Escherichia coli are main pathogenic bacteria of UTI in elderly patients with T2DM. UTI is related to factors such as patient age, course of T2DM and FBG. The prediction model constructed based on these factors is of high value in predicting UTI in elderly patients with T2DM. It is worthy of promotion in diagnosis and treatment.
