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 build a nursing care plan decision-making support system based on the hospital's nursing information system and evaluate its effects in newly hired nurses.Methods:This study adopted a non-synchronous pre-post control design. Totally 181 newly hired nurses recruited by Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, were selected by convenience sampling. The control group consisted of 85 new nurses hired in August 2021, while the intervention group consisted of 96 new nurses hired in August 2022. The control group received traditional training methods, while the intervention group received training through the nursing care plan decision-making support system in addition to the traditional methods. The nursing decision-making ability and the quality of specialty nursing care were compared between the two groups.Results:Finally, 81 nurses were included in the control group, and 93 nurses were included in the intervention group. The nursing decision-making ability score in the intervention group was (80.15±4.59), which was significantly higher than the (78.62±5.13) in the control group ( t=-2.080, P=0.039). The intervention group also had a significantly higher qualified rate of specialty nursing care compared to the control group (χ 2=6.626, P=0.036) . Conclusions:The application of the nursing care plan decision-making support system in the standardized training of newly hired nurses can improve their nursing decision-making abilities and the quality of specialty nursing care.

Objective To determine the reference red blood cells with weak agglutination intensity of low positive quali-ty control products by comparing RhD antigen expression intensity difference according to the serological results.Methods The RhD(+)red blood cells were detected by microcolumn gel method with 1 500 times diluted anti-D typing reagent.The samples with weak and strong RhD antigen expression intensity were selected as the reference red blood cells for weak agglu-tination intensity of low positive quality control products,and verification was performed.Results Ten RhD(+)red blood cells were detected with diluted anti-D typing reagent,of which 8 were 1+and 2 were±.Red blood cells with agglutination intensity of 1+were used as the benchmark to determine the maximum dilution ratio of anti-D typing reagent when their ag-glutination intensity was 1+.As the preparation standard of low positive quality control products,the agglutination intensity of red blood cells with low RhD antigen expression intensity was extremely weak±,which was difficult to ensure the stability of its control limit properties.Based on red blood cells with agglutination intensity of±,the maximum dilution ratio of anti-D typing reagent with agglutination intensity of 1+was re-determined as the preparation standard of low positive quality con-trol products,and the results met the requirements of quality control product setting.Conclusion Using red blood cells with low RhD antigen expression intensity as the benchmark to set the weak agglutination intensity of the low positive quality control products can avoid the loss of control due to the low target value.

【Objective】 To monitor the effectiveness and accuracy of the blood transfusion compatibility test system by self-made weakly positive internal quality control products. 【Methods】 Red blood cells from DAT(-) healthy subjects were selected, and B/RhD(-)E(-) red blood cells were selected as tube 1. A/RhD(+ )E(+ ) was selected as tube 2 to prepare blood group quality control products according to the principle of blood group antigen compatibility, and red blood cell preservation solution and corresponding ABO blood group reagent antibody were added to make the agglutination intensity of microcolumn gel method in reverse blood typing reach a low positive value (1+ ). Tube 3 and tube 4 were prepared with five different preservation media: plasma, serum, antibody diluent, mixture of equal plasma and antibody diluent, and mixture of equal serum and antibody diluent, respectively. IgM anti-E antibody was added to tube 3, and IgG anti-D antibody was added to tube 4, so that the agglutination intensity of microcolumn gel method reached a low positive value (1+ ). 【Results】 Comparison between the 5 different preservation media showed that the preservation medium of antibody diluent was the most stable for weakly positive antibody (F=11.35, P<0.05), Agglutination intensity 1+ is assigned 5 points by AABB Technical Manual, and its score was 5.25±1.75 points. 【Conclusion】 The use of self-made weakly positive quality control products can improve the effectiveness, accuracy and sensitivity of the monitoring system, thus achieving internal quality control and ensuring the safety of clinical blood use.

Objective:To evaluate modified Lanza score (MLS) of gastric mucosa for predicting the prognosis of geriatric patients with sepsis.Methods:Data of 50 patients with sepsis, who were over 60 years old and underwent gastroscopy for suspected gastrointestinal bleeding in the Department of Geriatric Critical Care Medicine of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to April 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the death group ( n=32) and the survival group ( n=18) according to their regression within 28 days after gastroscopy. Their gastric mucosa was scored by using MLS system, and the mortality of patients with MLS≥1 was calculated, then the patients were further divided into 2 groups, MLS=0-2 ( n=23, less than 2 regions of lesions ) and MLS=3-5 ( n=27, two or more regions of lesions). The relationship between MLS and acute physiology and chronic health status evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score, risk factor of death and mortality in each group were compared. The correlation between MLS and mortality was analyzed. The influence of geriatric sepsis risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients within 28 days were analyzed by using logistic regression. Results:Among the 50 geriatric patients with sepsis, those with gastric mucosal lesions, i.e., MLS ≥1, accounted for 68.00% (34/50), including 84.38% (27/32) patients with MLS≥1 in the death group, which was significantly higher than the 38.89% (7/18) patients with MLS≥1 in the survival group ( χ 2=10.593, P<0.001). Patients with MLS=3-5 had significantly higher APACHE Ⅱ scores (26.09±6.47 VS 18.57±7.66, t=3.527, P=0.001) and higher mortality [85.19% (23/27) VS 39.13% (9/23), χ 2=11.434, P=0.001] compared with MLS=0-2. Correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between MLS and mortality ( r=0.886, P=0.019). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MLS=4-5 was an independent risk factor for death in geriatric patients with sepsis ( OR=17.055, 95% CI: 1.387-209.744, P=0.027). Conclusion:MLS presents high sensitivity in predicting 28-day outcomes for geriatric patients with sepsis. Two or more than 2 regions of gastric mucosal lesions can significantly increase the risk of death in geriatric patients with sepsis.

Objective:The investigation and research on the application status of Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG) is very important to understand the real situation and future development of this technology in China.Methods:This study comprehensively investigated the basic situation of HVPG technology in China, including hospital distribution, hospital level, annual number of cases, catheters used, average cost, indications and existing problems.Results:According to the survey, there were 70 hospitals in China carrying out HVPG technology in 2021, distributed in 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central Government). A total of 4 398 cases of HVPG were performed in all the surveyed hospitals in 2021, of which 2 291 cases (52.1%) were tested by HVPG alone. The average cost of HVPG detection was (5 617.2±2 079.4) yuan. 96.3% of the teams completed HVPG detection with balloon method, and most of the teams used thrombectomy balloon catheter (80.3%).Conclusion:Through this investigation, the status of domestic clinical application of HVPG has been clarified, and it has been confirmed that many domestic medical institutions have mastered this technology, but it still needs to continue to promote and popularize HVPG technology in the future.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment of nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) with elevated monoclonal IgM.Methods:The clinical data of one NMZL patient with elevated monoclonal IgM treated at Yancheng No.1 People's Hospital in July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the related literature was analyzed.Results:The patient was a 57-year-old female and the main clinical manifestations were fatigue and bone pain in left rib. Serum immunofixation electrophoresis showed IgM-κ type M proteinemia, bone marrow cytology showed a few plasmacytoid lymphocytes, bone marrow biopsy and immunohistochemistry showed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, bone marrow genetic testing showed MYD88 L265p and CXCR4 were both negative, postoperative pathology result of retroperitoneal lymph node biopsy was marginal zone lymphoma (mature small B type, prone to NMZL),and immunohistochemistry results: CD3, CD5, CD138, κ, λ, CD10, Cyclin D1 were negative, CD20, Pax-5, CD23 (FDC), bcl-2 were positive; Ki-67 positive index < 5%. The final diagnosis was NMZL with elevated monoclonal IgM. Partial remission was achieved after 8 cycles of reduced-dose CHOP regimen; thalidomide was used in the maintenance treatment, the disease condition was stable until August in 2021 and the follow-up was continuing.Conclusions:NMZL with elevated monoclonal IgM is relatively rare. Its diagnosis should be differentiated from Waldenstr?m macroglobulinemia and other inert B-cell lymphomas. Currently, there is no standard treatment and following the principle of individualized treatment can improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the expression of Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients.Methods:The data in the Oncomine database was used to analyze the difference of TLR8 mRNA expression between DLBCL tumor tissues and normal lymphocytes, and the result was verified in two independent subsets GSE 25638 and GSE 32018 of the NCBI-GEO database. The OSDLBCL online survival analysis tool was used to analyze the correlation of TLR8 mRNA relative expression level with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of DLBCL patients. Gene ontology bioprocess (GO_BP) enrichment analysis was performed by using GSEA software. The correlation of TLR8 mRNA expression with tumor immune cell infiltration degree and immune checkpoint-related molecule expression was analyzed by TIMER online tool website. A total of 53 DLBCL patients who underwent lymph node biopsy in Yancheng No. 1 People's Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were selected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of TLR8 protein, and its relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics of patients was analyzed.Results:The analysis result of data from Oncomine and GEO databases showed that the relative expression levels of TLR8 mRNA in tumor tissues of patients with DLBCL or activated B cell-like DLCBL were higher than those in normal lymphocytes (all P < 0.001). The results of OSDLBCL online survival analysis indicated that the OS ( P = 0.020) and PFS ( P = 0.004) in DLBCL patients with high TLR8 mRNA expression were worse than those in patients with low TLR8 mRNA expression. The level of TLR8 was related to the abnormal function of immune response, cytokine metabolism and DNA damage monitoring; the result of TIMER online analysis showed that the expression level of TLR8 mRNA was positively related to the degree of neutrophil infiltration ( r = 0.78, P < 0.001) and the expression of immunosuppressive molecules [HAVCR2 ( r = 0.85, P < 0.001), LAG3 ( r = 0.63, P < 0.001), CD274 ( r = 0.77, P < 0.001), TIGIT ( r = 0.32, P = 0.037), and C10ORF54 ( r = 0.34, P = 0.029)]. Among 53 DLBCL patients, 29 patients (54.7%) had low expression of TLR8 protein and 24 patients (45.3%) had high expression of TLR8 protein. There were statistical differences in the expressions of TLR8 protein in DLBCL patients with different serum lactate dehydrogenase and β 2-microglobulin levels (both P < 0.05). Conclusions:TLR8 is highly expressed in DLBCL patients, and TLR8 may be a prognostic marker of DLBCL.

Abstract: To investigate the differential expression of lncRNA SH3BP5-AS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma and the possible mechanism of promoting hepatocarcinogenesis. Methods: The expression of SH3BP5-AS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue/paraneoplastic tissue(n=91) was detected by qRT-PCR. TCGA database visualization software UALCAN analyzed SH3BP5-AS1 expression in a large sample of hepatocellular carcinoma tissues(n= 371). The expression of SH3BP5-AS1 was detected by qRT-PCR in normal hepatocytes THLE-2 and hepatoma cell lines Huh 7, BEL-7405, SNU-387, Hep 3 B. After silencing SH3BP5-AS1 expression by siRNA technology, the effects of silencing SH3BP5-AS1 on the proliferation of Hep 3 B cells were detected by CCK-8 assay, cell clone formation assay and Edu assay, and the effects of silencing SH3BP5-AS1 on apoptosis and cycle of Hep 3 B cells were detected by flow-through assay. Based on the expression of SH3BP5-AS1 and TM6 SF2 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues, the expression correlation was counted and analyzed. Results: SH3BP5-AS1 was highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues. SH3BP5-AS1 was highly expressed in a large sample of hepatocellular carcinoma tissues from the TCGA database SH3BP5-AS1 was highly expressed in different hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines Huh 7, BEL-7405, SNU-387 and Hep 3 B to a different extent. Silencing of SH3BP5-AS1 by siRNA inhibited the proliferation ability of Hep 3 B cells, promoted apoptosis ability, affected the cell cycle and increased the number of G1 phase cells. SH3BP5-AS1 and TM6 SF2 expression were negatively correlated in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues. Conclusion SH3BP5-AS1 is an important oncogenic non-coding RNA that can provide a theoretical basis for tumour-targeted therapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective::To evaluate the predictive ability of neonate condition through the traditional parameters and artery umbilical cord blood gas (aUCBG).Methods::A prospective cohort study was conducted in obstetrics and gynecology department between October 2017 and August 2018 at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China, and 360 aUCBG samples were collected. The average age of pregnant women was (29.50±4.42) years, range from 19 to 48 years old. The gestational age range from 28 +4 weeks to 41 +3 weeks at admission. Logistic regression and area under the curve (AUC) from Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to identify risk factors, such as, premature rupture of membranes (PROM), high blood pressure, premature delivery (PD), low 1-minute Apgar scores (Apgar 1), low 5-minute Apgar scores (Apgar 5), pH, base excess, bicarbonate, neonatal blood sugar (NBS), and so on, to predict neonatal condition and evaluate the predictive ability of traditional and aUCBG parameters. Results::In all cases, PROM, PD, Apgar 1, Apgar 5, pH, base excess, bicarbonate, total carbon dioxide, and neonatal blood sugar were risk factors and were associated with poor condition of neonate. Apgar 1 were an independent risk factor. Combined traditional and aUCBG parameters had higher AUC of 0.895 (95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.830-0.960, P<0.001). In cesarean section subgroup, high blood pressure, PD, and Apgar 1 were risk factors and were associated with poor condition of neonate. Apgar 1 and low pH were the independent risk factors. Combined traditional and aUCBG parameters had highest AUC of 0.940 (95% CI: 0.886-0.993, P<0.001). In vaginal delivery subgroup, maternal age above 35 years, PROM, PD, Apgar 1, Apgar 5, and male newborn were risk factors and were associated with poor condition of neonate. Maternal age above 35 years was an independent risk factor. Combined traditional and aUCBG parameters had highest AUC of 0.897 (95% CI: 0.828-0.965, P<0.001). For pregnant women without comorbidities and complications of pregnancy, aUCBG may not be necessary. Conclusion::In high-risk pregnancies, especially lower Apgar scores, PD, and maternal age above 35-year old, aUCBG is recommended. Traditional parameters combined with aUCBG might increase the predicting ability of neonate condition.
