Objective: To establish an accurate and rapid typing method for Rh typing of samples from patients who have received recent blood transfusions by utilizing the difference in osmotic fragility between fresh and old red blood cells. Methods: A lysing solution suitable for destroying old RBCs was prepared. Sixty-one samples collected in our hospital in 2024 with Rh typing of double groups were treated with the lysing solution to remove the old allogeneic red blood cells while preserving the patient's own fresh red blood cells, followed by repeat Rh typing tests. Results: For 61 samples with Rh typing in double groups, 41 were accurately detected identified through the red blood cell lysis method, yielding an identification rate of 67.21%. No significant difference was observed compared to the detection rate of the commonly used capillary centrifugation modified method (χ
=0.103, P>0.05). Conclusion: The red blood cell lysis method provides a novel and rapid experimental approach for clinical use in processing Rh-typed samples that are of double groups, thereby offering a basis for Rh compatibility blood transfusion.

OBJECTIVE To establish the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) fingerprint of Jingtian granule, and to evaluate its quality by chemical pattern recognition. METHODS Luna® Omega Polar C18 column (150 mm×2.1 mm, 1.6 μm) was used as the chromatographic column, and acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid solution was used as the mobile phase for gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.2 mL/min, the column temperature was 30 ℃, and the detection wavelength was 265 nm. With peak 16 as the reference peak, the UPLC fingerprint of Jingtian granule was established by the Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2012 edition). The common peaks were identified, the similarity evaluation was carried out, and the ownership of each common peak was confirmed. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) in chemical pattern recognition methods were used to classify 13 batches of samples (S1- S13), and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was used to identify the key components of the differences between different batches of samples. RESULTS RSDs of precision, repeatability and stability of the UPLC method were not more than 4.4%. A total of 25 common peaks were identified in the fingerprints of 13 batches of Jingtian granules. By comparing with the reference substance fingerprint, 10 common peaks were identified, namely peak 3 (hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde), peak 5 (salidroside), peak 8(chlorogenic acid), peak 15 (cinnamic acid), peak 19 (aloe-emodin), peak 20 (ammonium glycyrrhizinate), peak 21 (rhein), peak 23 (emodin), peak 24 (glycyrrhetinic acid), peak 25 (chrysophanol). The similarities of fingerprints of 13 batches of samples were 0.955-0.996. The results of HCA showed that 13 batches of samples could be divided into three categories, among which samples S1, S5, S7, S11-S13 were clustered in one category, S4 and S6 were clustered in one category, S2, S3 and S8-S10 were clustered in one category. PCA results showed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of principal components 1-7 was 92.666%. OPLS-DA further identified 13 differential components, which were mainly derived from Polygonati Rhizoma with wine steaming, Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix Et Rhizoma, prepared Rhei Radix Et Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizome Praeparata Cum Melle. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC fingerprint of Jingtian granule is simple, stable and reproducible. Combined with the chemical pattern recognition method, it can effectively reveal the overall quality difference between different batches of Jingtian granule. The quality of Polygonati Rhizoma with wine steaming, Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix Et Rhizoma, prepared Rhei Radix Et Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Nipponicae Rhizoma, Polyporus, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhizome Praeparata Cum Melle is the key to the overall quality of Jingtian granule.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Yanling Yishou prescription combined with aerobic exercise in the intervention of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome in middle-aged white-collar workers with "stress-induced aging". MethodsA randomized, controlled, and open-label trial was conducted involving 156 patients with stress-induced aging and heart and spleen deficiency syndrome who were recruited from the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. Participants were randomly assigned via a central randomization system into an intervention group and a control group, with 78 cases in each group. The intervention group received Yanling Yishou prescription combined with a standard aerobic exercise protocol, while the control group received the standard aerobic exercise protocol only. The composition of Yanling Yishou prescription was derived from Qinggong Medical Records: 10 g Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, 10 g Codonopsis Radix, 10 g Astragali Radix, 10 g Paeoniae Radix Alba, 10 g Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 10 g Rehmanniae Radix, 10 g Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 10 g Poria, and 3 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, decocted in water and administered 2 hours after breakfast and dinner, respectively. The aerobic exercise protocol was prescriptionted according to the 2017 guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine, consisting of a 5-minute warm-up, a progressively increasing exercise stage (starting at 5 minutes and increasing by 1-2 minutes daily up to a maximum of 20 minutes), and a 10-minute cool-down. Both groups were treated for 28 days and followed up for 35 days. Outcome measures included Checklist Individual Strength (CIS), sleep quality indicators ( total sleep time, light sleep, and deep sleep), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores for heart and spleen deficiency syndrome, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), physical function score from the SF-36 scale (SF-36 PF), Pain Visual Analog Scale (Pain VAS), and vital signs. ResultsCompared with baseline, the intervention group showed a significantly greater reduction in CIS scores and improvement in sleep quality (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the control group showed no significant changes. Post-treatment comparisons between groups revealed that the intervention group achieved significantly better outcomes in fatigue reduction and sleep improvement (P<0.05, P<0.01). In terms of TCM syndrome scores, the intervention group showed significant improvements in fatigue, frequent awakening, vivid dreaming, poor appetite, palpitations, and loose stools (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the control group showed no significant improvement in poor appetite, palpitations, or loose stools. After treatment, the intervention group showed significantly better improvements in fatigue, frequent awakening, vivid dreaming, and palpitations compared to the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in SF-36 PF, HADS, and Pain VAS scores before and after treatments. No serious adverse events occurred in either group during the study period. ConclusionYanling Yishou prescription combined with aerobic exercise can alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, frequent awakening, vivid dreaming, and palpitations, improve sleep quality, and alleviate heart and spleen deficiency symptoms, thereby improving the quality of life in middle-aged white-collar workers with stress-induced aging.

Misophonia is a psychophysiological and behavioral disorder characterized by an individual's low tolerance to specific sounds, leading to intense negative emotional experiences and physiological responses. Currently, there is no standardized and universally effective treatment for misophonia in clinical practice worldwide. This article reports the case of an 18-year-old male patient with misophonia who showed poor response to sertraline combined with exposure and response prevention therapy. Subsequently, the patient received 8 weeks of Morita therapy (once a week, 50 minutes per session), with symptomatic improvement. By presenting this case, we explore the potential efficacy of Morita therapy in treating misophonia, aiming to provide a reference for its clinical management.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the mechanism of acupuncture on improving ovarian hypofunction in aged rats from two perspectives: the overall regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis and the local ovarian follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)/cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway.
METHODS:
Six 3-month-old female SPF-grade Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were selected as the blank group. Another twelve 9-month-old female SD rats were randomly divided into a model group and an acupuncture group, with six rats in each. The acupuncture group received acupuncture at "Baihui" (GV20), "Guanyuan" (CV4), and bilateral "Ciliao" (BL32) for 20 min per session, once every other day, for a total of 10 sessions. Vaginal smear tests were performed daily to observe the estrous cycle of the rats. Ovarian morphology was observed using HE staining, and follicles at various stages were counted. ELISA was used to detect levels of serum FSH, luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), anti-müllerian hormone (AMH), hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), pituitary FSH and LH, and ovarian cAMP. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression of ovarian cAMP protein kinase catalytic subunit, FSH receptor (FSHR), and P450. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure mRNA expression levels of FSHR and P450 in ovarian tissue.
RESULTS:
Compared with the blank group, the model group showed an increased rate of estrous cycle disorder (P<0.01), reduced granulosa cell layers with blurred boundaries and disordered arrangement, decreased numbers of developing follicles at all stages, and increased numbers of atretic follicles (P<0.01); the serum levels of FSH and LH were increased (P<0.01), while E2 and AMH levels were decreased (P<0.01); the hypothalamic GnRH and pituitary FSH and LH levels were elevated (P<0.01), and ovarian cAMP level was decreased (P<0.01); the positive expression and protein expression of ovarian P450, cAMP protein kinase catalytic subunit, and FSHR were reduced (P<0.01), and ovarian FSHR and P450 mRNA expression was decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the acupuncture group showed a reduced rate of estrous cycle disorder (P<0.01), clear granulosa cell margins, increased numbers of primordial and secondary follicles, and decreased numbers of atretic follicles (P<0.01); the serum FSH and LH levels were decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), while E2 and AMH levels were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01); the hypothalamic GnRH and pituitary FSH and LH levels were decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), and ovarian cAMP level was increased (P<0.01); the positive expression and protein expression of ovarian P450, cAMP protein kinase catalytic subunit, and FSHR were elevated (P<0.01), and ovarian FSHR and P450 mRNA expression was increased (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION
Acupuncture could delay ovarian hypofunction in aged rats, possibly through regulating the HPO axis and the FSH/cAMP signaling pathway.
