Objective: To systematically analyzes the impact of blood donor characteristics on red blood cell (RBC) quality and transfusion outcomes, and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing donor selection criteria and developing personalized transfusion strategies. Methods: A literature search was conducted across electronic databases including CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, PubMed, and Embase using combinations of keywords such as "donor characteristics", "blood storage lesion", "blood quality", and "transfusion outcomes" for summary and analysis. Results: Factors associated with the blood donor characteristics including demographic characteristics (sex, age, body mass index), lifestyle habits (smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise), and dietary or pharmacological exposures significantly influence blood storage stability and transfusion efficacy by modulating erythrocyte metabolism, oxidative stress levels, and immune properties. Conclusion: The complexity and diversity of the blood donor characteristics are associated with blood quality and transfusion outcomes. Future efforts should focus on refining donor selection criteria and establishing personalized transfusion strategies to enhance blood product quality and improve patient outcomes.

Objective To compare and analyze the effectiveness of sequential nutritional support and parenteral nutrition support in clinical intervention of pediatric acute pancreatitis.Methods Data of 102 children with acute pancreatitis were retrospectively collected and divided into the parenteral nutrition group(n=51)and the sequential nutrition group(n=51)based on the type of parenteral nutrition support.Changes in nutritional status,immune function indicators and body rehabilitation indicators were compared before and after intervention between two groups.The humoral immune indexes(IgA,IgG and IgM)were detected by immunonephelometry.The body recovery indexes(abdominal distension relief time,oral feeding recovery time,body temperature recovery time,blood and urine amylase recovery time and hospital stay)were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,levels of serum albumin,total protein and prealbumin were higher in the study group than those in the control group,while levels of blood amylase and urine amylase were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,the CD3+,CD4+and CD4+/CD8+indicators were higher in the study group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,IgA,IgG and IgM indicators were higher in the study group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The relief time of abdominal distension,recovery time of oral feeding,recovery time of body temperature,recovery time of blood and urine amylase and hospitalization time were all shorter in the study group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Sequential nutritional support can effectively improve the nutritional status of children with acute pancreatitis,enhance immune function and promote physical recovery compared to parenteral nutrition support.

Objective To accurately encode pelvic organ prolapse and ensure data accuracy.Methods ICD-10 coding analysis was performed in combination with the professional knowledge of the International Classification of Diseases(ICD-10)and specific clinical cases of pelvic organ prolapse.Results Vaginal anterior wall prolapse,regardless of severity,was encoded as N81.1;vaginal posterior wall prolapse,regardless of severity,as N81.6;uterine prolapse grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ,regardless of the presence or absence of vaginal anterior and posterior wall prolapse,as N81.2;uterine prolapse grade Ⅲ,whether the prolapse of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls is combined,or what level of the severity of the prolapse,as N81.3;cervical prolapse staging,regardless of severity or presence of vaginal anterior and posterior wall prolapse,as N81.2.In addition,the N81.-code does not include genital prolapse complicating pregnancy(O34.5),prolapse and hernia of ovary and fallopian tube(N83.4),vaginal fornix prolapse after hysterectomy(N99.3).Conclusion To ensure accurate coding,the composite coding rules must be cross-checked with volume one.ICD-10 failed to reflect the severity of vaginal prolapse in clinical practice.To consider the severity,coding should be extended in the N81.-segment.It is essential for coders to actively acquire clinical knowledge,rein-force professional knowledge,and enhance their responsibility to improve their coding proficiency and ensure data accuracy.

This study aims to explore possible effect of RNA polymerase I subunit D (POLR1D) on proliferation and angiogenesis ability of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and mechanism herein. The correlation of POLR1D and Yin Yang 1 (YY1) expressions with prognosis of CRC patients in TCGA database was analyzed. Quantitative realtime polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were applied to detect expression levels of POLR1D and YY1 in CRC cell lines and CRC tissues. SW480 and HT-29 cells were transfected with si-POLR1D or pcDNA3.1-POLR1D to achieve POLR1D suppression or overexpression before cell migration, angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were assessed. Western blot was used to detect expressions of p38 MAPK signal pathway related proteins and interaction of YY1 with POLR1D was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter gene assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). TCGA data showed that both POLR1D and YY1 expressions were up-regulated in CRC patients. High expression of POLR1D was associated with poor prognosis of CRC patients. The results showed that POLR1D and YY1 were highly expressed in CRC cell lines. Inhibition or overexpression of POLR1D can respectively suppress or enhance proliferation and angiogenesis of CRC cells. YY1 inhibition can suppress CRC progression and deactivate p38 MAPK signal pathway, which can be counteracted by POLR1D overexpression. JASPAR predicted YY1 can bind with POLR1D promoter, which was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP. YY1 transcription can up-regulate POLR1D expression to activate p38 MAPK signal pathway, thus promoting proliferation and angiogenesis ability of CRC cells.

Objective: To understand the basic characteristics of previously reported patients with hepatitis C and analyze the related factors affecting their antiviral treatment. Methods: A convenient sampling method was adopted. Patients who had been previously diagnosed with hepatitis C in the Wenshan Prefecture of Yunnan Province and Xuzhou City of Jiangsu Province were contacted by telephone for an interview study. The Andersen health service utilization behavior model and related literature were used to design the research framework for antiviral treatment in previously reported hepatitis C patients. A step-by-step multivariate regression analysis was used in previously reported hepatitis C patients treated with antiviral therapy. Results: A total of 483 hepatitis C patients, aged 51.73 ± 12.06 years, were investigated. The proportion of male, agricultural occupants who were registered permanent residents, farmers and migrant workers was 65.24%, 67.49%, and 58.18%, respectively. Han ethnicity (70.81%), married (77.02%), and junior high school and below educational level (82.61%) were the main ones. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that married patients with hepatitis C (OR = 3.19, 95% CI: 1.93-5.25, compared with unmarried, divorced, and widowed patients) with high school education or above (OR = 2.54, 95% CI: 1.54-4.20, compared with patients with junior high school education or below) were more likely to receive antiviral treatment in the predisposition module. Patients with severe self-perceived hepatitis C in the need factor module (compared with patients with mild self-perceived disease, OR = 3.36, 95% CI: 2.09-5.40) were more likely to receive treatment. In the competency module, the family's per capita monthly income was more than 1,000 yuan (compared with patients with per capita monthly income below 1,000 yuan, OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.02-2.47), and the patients had a high level of awareness of hepatitis C knowledge (compared with patients with a low level of knowledge, OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.01-2.35), and the family members who knew the patient's infection status (compared with patients with an unknown infection status, OR = 4.59, 95% CI: 2.24-9.39) were more likely to receive antiviral treatment. Conclusion: Different income, educational, and marital statuses are related to antiviral treatment behavior in hepatitis C patients. Family support of hepatitis C patients receiving hepatitis C-related knowledge and their families knowing the infection status is more important in promoting the antiviral treatment of patients, suggesting that in the future, we should further strengthen the hepatitis C knowledge of hepatitis C patients, especially the family support of hepatitis C patients' families in treatment.

Objective To monitor the indoor radon concentration of urban residents in Shiyan, China, and to analyze the related influencing factors. Methods From April to July, 2019, RSKS standard detectors were used to measure the indoor radon concentration of 125 households in Shiyan, and the results were analyzed. Results The indoor radon concentration of residents in Shiyan showed a skewed distribution, ranging from 13.8 to 145 Bq/m³, and M (P₂₅,P₇₅) was 38.3 (29.0,62.0) Bq/m³. The estimated annual effective dose of radon and radon daughters from inhalation was 0.52-5.50 mSv, and M (P₂₅,P₇₅) was 1.45 (1.10, 2.36) mSv, which was consistent with literature. Building structure (H = 14.10, P < 0.001), floor (H = 24.41, P < 0.001), and geographical region (H = 8.963, P < 0.05) were influencing factors of indoor radon concentration, and the differences were significant. Conclusion The indoor radon concentration of urban residents in Shiyan is lower than the national standard limit. However, in daily life, it is still necessary to take appropriate measures to reduce the concentration of indoor radon as much as possible.

The flavonoids in Panax notoginseng were qualitatively analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS), and the content of three main flavonoids in P. notoginseng of different specifications and grades collected from different habitats was determined by HPLC-DAD. Flavonoids and anthocyanins were analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS in the positive and negative ion modes, respectively. Twelve flavonoid glycosides and one anthocyanin glycoside in P. notoginseng were identified, but no flavonoid aglycones were detected. Among them, 12 compounds were identified in the underground part of P. notoginseng for the first time and eight compounds were first reported in this plant. Moreover, six and four compounds were identified in the Panax genus and the Araliaceae family for the first time, respectively. A method for simultaneous determination of three flavonoids in P. notoginseng was established by HPLC-DAD. The content of flavonoids in 721 P. notoginseng samples of 124 specifications and grades collected from 20 different habitats was simultaneously determined. Among three flavonoids determined, the content of quercetin-3-O-(2″-β-D-xylosyl)-β-D-galactoside was the highest with the average content in the tested samples of 161.0 μg·g~(-1). The content of compounds quercetin-3-O-hexosyl-hexoside and kaempferol-3-O-pentosyl-hexoside was relatively low, with the average content of 18.5 μg·g~(-1)(calculated as quercetin-3-O-sophoroside) and 49.4 μg·g~(-1)(calculated as kaempferol-3-O-sangbu diglycoside). There were significant differences in flavonoids content of samples from different production area. The content of flavonoids in spring P. notoginseng was significantly lower than that in winter P. notoginseng when the other influencing factors such as production areas, germplasm resources, and cultivation conditions were fixed. As for P. notoginseng of different specifications, the flavonoid content in the part connecting the taproot and the aboveground stem was significantly higher than that in other parts. The results of large-scale data showed that the flavonoid content gradually increased with the increase in the number of heads. There were significant differences between the flavonoid content in most specifications and grades, especially the 20-head P. notoginseng and countless head P. notoginseng, whose content was significantly lower and significantly higher than that of other specifications and grades, respectively. This study provides a scientific basis for the study of the effective components and quality control of P. notoginseng from the perspective of flavonoids.

Objective:The 97.5th percentile upper reference limit (97.5th URL) of N-terminal prob-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is influenced by multiple factors and depends on the inclusion criteria of apparently healthy people. In this study, the reference upper limit of NT-proBNP was established on apparently healthy people in Beijing area with abnormal hs-cTn as the exclusion criterion.Methods:According to the latest expert consensus recommendation standards of natriuretic peptide in the detection and clinical application of heart failure published by the Clinical Application Group of Cardiac Bio-Markers of the International Union of Clinical Chemistry, 1 635 healthy people without abnormal appearance of routine indicators such as sex, age, glycated hemoglobin, estimated glomerular filtration rate and medical history were collected. After excluding participants with potential myocardial injury according to hs-cTnI and/or hs-cTnT concentration>99th URL, NT-proBNP 97.5th URL was established in healthy subjects aged 21-40 years ( n=205), 41-50 years ( n=535), 51-60 years ( n=556) and >60 years ( n=339) based on non-parametric statistics. Results:The level of NT-proBNP was positively correlated with age ( r=0.254, P<0.001). The levels of NT-proBNP were positively correlated with hs-cTnI, hs-cTnT in males ( r=0.377 and r=0.429, both P<0.001). The levels of NT-proBNP were also positively correlated with hs-cTnI, hs-cTnT in females ( r=0.132 and r=0.296, both P<0.001). When hs-cTn>99th URL was used as the criterion to exclude patients with potential myocardial injury, among apparently healthy people aged 21-40 years old, 41-50 years old, 51-60 years old and >60 years old, male NT-proBNP 97.5th URL was 81.9 (90% CI 60.0-588.8), 141.2 (90% CI 100.0-263.6), 272.0 (90% CI 193.0-494.0) and 547.9 (90% CI 311.2-738.6), respectively; For females, the rates were 227.5 (90% CI 81.9-360.8), 153.2 (90% CI 128.2-239.5), 300.6 (90% CI 211.0-376.4) and 395.8 (90% CI 242.3-543.5) ng/L, respectively. Conclusions:This study confirmed that hs-cTn>99th URL can be used as an apparent population screening criterion for natriuretic peptide reference interval studies, which is helpful to remove conventional means to include individuals with occult myocardial injury in apparently healthy patients, so as to establish a more rigorous healthy cohort and establishing solid normal NT-proBNP reference interval.

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of modified Maxing Shigan Decoction combined with acupoint application of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on inflammatory indicators and pulmonary function in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with syndrome of phlegm-heat accumulated in the lung.Methods:Prospective cohort study. Eighty AECOPD patients with syndrome of phlegm-heat accumulated in the lung, who met the inclusion criteria in our hospital from October 2020 to January 2022 were included, and randomized into two groups by random number table methods, 40 in each group. The control group received conventional therapy of Western medicine, while the treatment group received modified Maxing Shigan Decoction combined with acupoint application of TCM on the basic treatment of control group. Both groups were treated for a course of 14 days. The white blood count (WBC) and percentage of neutrophil (NE%) were detected by automatic blood cell analyzer. Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pulmonary function parameters including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1%), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC were detected by spirometry. Meantime, the adverse reactions and clinical responsive rate were recorded in both groups.Results:The overall responsive rate was 90.0% (36/40) in treatment group, which had statistically significant difference with 70.0% (28/40) in control group (χ 2=5.00, P=0.025). After treatment, plasma WBC [(4.15±1.02)×10 9/L vs. (7.53±1.27)×10 9/L, t=13.12], NE% [(0.50±0.12)% vs. (0.65±0.13)%, t=5.36] and serum CRP [(8.12±5.58)mg/L vs. (25.15±8.50)mg/L, t=10.59] in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The FEV1 [(1.94±0.23)L vs. (1.71±0.35)L, t=3.47], FEV1% [(88.25±9.21)% vs. (74.10±8.13)%, t=7.29], FVC [(3.85±0.31)L vs. (3.12±0.23)L, t=12.29] and FEV1/FVC [(86.12±7.18)% vs. (75.30±8.32)%, t=6.23] in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The adverse reaction rate during treatment period yielded no significant difference between two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Application of modified Maxing Shigan Decoction combined with acupoint application of TCM in the treatment of AECOPD with syndrome of phlegm-heat accumulated in the lung can effectively attenuate inflammation response and ameliorate the pulmonary function.
