Objective: To analyze the structural changes in whole blood and apheresis platelet donations in Chinese Society of Blood Transfusion (CSBT) sentinel units from 2021 to 2025, and to provide evidence for donor recruitment and blood service management. Methods: Aggregated data reported by sentinel sites were collected and stratified according to six indicators: age, sex, donation history, donation volume, donation site, and organization mode. Pearson χ test, Cramer′V coefficient, Cochran-Armitage trend test and simple linear regression were adopted for analysis. Results: A total of 16 256 973 whole blood donations and 1 576 546 apheresis platelet donations were included. Among whole-blood donations, the proportion of donors aged 18-22 years decreased from 27.30% to 10.60%. The proportion of male donors increased from 58.81% to 63.13%; the proportion of people aged 30 and above increased from 58.40% to 75.30%; the proportion of fixed locations rose from 28.37% to 36.57%; the proportion of social groups increased from 21.69% to 39.69%. The 400-mL donations decreased from 62.12% to 53.46%, while individually initiated voluntary donations remained above 50%. Apheresis platelet donations were predominantly from males, individuals aged 30-39 years, and repeat donors; 2-treatment-unit apheresis platelet donations increased from 67.19% to 74.93%, and individually initiated donations accounted for 92.97%-96.02%. Statistically significant overall annual compositional differences were observed for all six indicators (all P<0.001), whereas linear trends for some sub-categories were not statistically significant. Conclusion: In the participating CSBT sentinel units, among whole blood donations, the proportions of donors aged 18-22 years, university-organized group donations, and donations at blood mobiles decreased, whereas the proportions of organizational group donations and donations at fixed venues increased. The apheresis platelet donation cohort is relatively mature and is evolving toward a high-efficiency donation model. Individual voluntary donation remains the primary organization mode for both donation types. Strategies such as youth donor recruitment, optimized layout of fixed donation sites, and retention of repeat donors should be strengthened to improve the resilience of blood supply.

Objective: Data on syncopal donation-related vasovagal reaction (DRVR) collected from 74 blood centers between 2020 and 2023 was statistically analyzed to provide a reference for developing preventive strategies against syncopal DRVR. Methods: Data on blood donation adverse reactions and basic information of donors from 2020 to 2023 were collected through the information management system at monitoring sentinel sites. Statistical analysis was performed on the following aspects of syncopal DRVR: characteristics of donors who experienced syncope, reported incidence, triggers, duration, presence and occurrence time of syncope-related trauma, clinical management including outpatient and inpatient treatment, and severity grading. Results: From 2020 to 2023, 45 966 donation-related adverse reactions were recorded. Of these, 1 665 (3.72%) cases were syncopal DRVR. The incidence of syncopal DRVR decreased with age, being the highest in the 18-22 age group. Incidence was significantly higher in female donors than male donors, in first-time donors than repeat donors, and in university and individual donors than group donors (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among different blood donation locations (P>0.05). The top three triggers were tension, fatigue, and needle phobia or fear of blood. Among syncopal DRVR cases, 60.36% occurred during blood collection, 87.63% lasted for less than 60 seconds, and 5.05% were accompanied by trauma. Notably, 57.14% of these traumas occurred after donor had left the blood collection site. Syncope severity was graded based on required treatment: grade 1 (fully recovered without treatment, 95.50%); grade 2 (recovered after outpatient treatment, 4.02%); and grade 3 (recovered after inpatient treatment, 0.48%). Conclusion: By analyzing the data of syncopal DRVR cases, it is possible to provide a reference for formulating blood donor safety policies.

Objective To evaluate the effect of awake tracheal intubation with intubating larynegeal mask airway (ILMA) on stress responses of hypertensive patients.Methods Sixty hypertensive patients,aged 45-64 yr,with body mass index of 20.3-27.5 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table:direct laryngoscope group (group D) and ILMA group (group I).At 3 min after topical anesthesia (T1),while epiglottis and glottis were exposed with direct laryngoscope in group D or during ILMA insertion in group I (T2),immediately after completion of intubation (T3),when the maximum change in hemodynamics after intubation appeared (at about 15 s after tracheal tubes were placed,T4),and at 5 min after completion of intubation (T5),mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded,and blood samples were collected for determination of plasma epinephrine concentrations by radio-immunity method.Successful intubation at first attempt was recorded.Results Compared with the parameters at T1,the MAP,HR and plasma epinephrine concentrations were significantly increased at T2-4 in group D (P＜0.01),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above at the other time point in group I (P＞0.05).Compared with group D,the MAP,HR and plasma epinephrine concentrations were significantly decreased at T2-4 (P＜0.01),and no significant change was found in the success rate of intubation at first attempt in group I (P＞0.05).Conclusion Awake tracheal intubation with ILMA does not induce strong stress responses and is helpful in avoiding the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents,thus increasing the safty of awake tracheal intubation in hypertensive patients.

BACKGROUND:The researches about the effect of retinoic acid on the proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells are rare, and the researches on the testosterone are mainly on the inhibition of cellaging. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of retinoic acid and testosterone or combination on the cellcycle of adipose derived stem cells. METHODS:Adipose derived stem cells were isolated from adult female Sprague Dawley rats with 2 months age and cultured in vitro til passage 3 adipose derived stem cells, and then the 3rd passage adipose-derived stem cells were performed with adipogenic induction, osteogenic induction and surface marker identification. The cells were divided into six groups:(1) Control group;(2) 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid group;(3) Retinoic acid group;(4) 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid+testosterone group;(5) 10-6 mol/L retinoic acid+testosterone group;(6) Testosterone group. The adipose-derived stem cells in the control group were cultured with Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium+10%fetal bovine serum culture medium, and the adipose-derived stem cells in the other five groups were induced with corresponding dose of retinoic acid and testosterone on the basis of control group. After cultured for 36 hours, the flow cytometry was used to detect the changes of cellcycle. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, cellproportions in phase G 1 of 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid group and 10-6 mol/L retinoic acid group were increased significantly, and the cellproportions in phase S were decreased. Compared with control group, the cellproportion in phase G 1 of testosterone group was significantly reduced, and the cellproportion in phase S was increased. Compared with 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid group and 10-6 mol/L retinoic acid group, cellproportions in phase G 1 of 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid+testosterone group and 10-6 mol/L retinoic acid+testosterone group were reduced significantly and the cellproportions in phase S were increased. Retinoic acid can inhibit the cellcycle of adipose-derived stem cells in phase G 1 , and delay the process of the cellcycle from phase G1 to phase S;while testosterone can promote the cellcycle of adipose-derived stem cells from phase G1 to phase S;the combination induction of retinoic acid and testosterone can accelerate the process of the cellcycle of adipose-derived stem cells from phase G 1 to phase S.

OBJECTIVETo investigate whether adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) induced by retinoic acid (RA) in vitro express primordial germ cell marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and vasa.

METHODSADSCs were isolated from adult female SD rats and cultured in vitro. The third passage of ADSCs was identified by adipogenic differentiation, osteogenic differentiation and cell surface marker detection. The ADSCs were treated with 1×10(-5), 1×10(-6), or 1×10(-7) mol/L RA for 7 or 14 days, and the cellular expression of ALP was detected. vasa mRNA expression in ADSCs treated with 1×10(-5) mol/L RA for 7 days was detected using RT-PCR.

RESULTSThe OD value of ADSCs treated with 1×10(-5), 1×10(-6), or 1×10(-7) mol/L RA was 0.59∓0.04, 0.27∓0.07, and 0.15∓0.03 after a 7-day treatment, and was 0.42∓0.02, 0.34∓0.01, and 0.19∓0.02 after a 14-day treatment, respectively, demonstrating significantly enhanced ALP expression in RA-treated ADSCs compared with that in the control cells (0.07∓0.01 and 0.07∓0.01 at 7 and 14 days, respectively, P<0.01). The ADSCs showed a negative vasa mRNA expression after 1×10(-5) mol/L RA treatment for 7 days.

CONCLUSIONRA-induced ADSCs express ALP, a marker of primordial germ cells, but does not express the primordial germ cell marker vasa.
