【Objective】 To establish the internal quality control standard of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cell volume in our center, so as to guide the preparation of components, strengthen the internal quality control and improve the quality of blood preparations. 【Methods】 A total of 1 523 bags of whole blood collected using two manufacturers′ leukocyte-depleted blood bags from March to August 2023 at our center were extracted. The blood before and after filtration were weighed, and the volume of whole blood collected, the volume of filtration loss and the product volume based on the formula and measured specific gravity were calculated. According to the data distribution characteristics, the reference range of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cell volume was determined, and the differences of whole blood collection volume, filtration loss capacity and product capacity between the two manufacturers were analyzed. The quality control data of leukocyte-depleted red blood cells over the past year with the difference between another 100 bags of these cells and the reference interval were compared, and the effectiveness of reference interval was validated. 【Results】 The median whole blood collection volume in the sample size was 402.0 mL, with a median filtration loss of 42.4 mL, and an average volume of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cells at 322.5 mL. The whole blood collection volume (A: median 404.4 mL; B: median 397.7 mL, P<0.01) and the volume of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cell products (A: mean 331.4 mL; B: mean 312.0 mL, P<0.01) using manufacturer A′s leukocyte-depleted blood bag were both higher, with a lower filtration loss capacity (A: median 39.5 mL; B: median 46.6 mL, P<0.01). The standard deviation of the volume of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cell was 19.6, and the reference interval was 284.1-360.9 mL. The validation samples and quality control sampling data showed no difference from the interval samples (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 According to the actual situation of our center, the volume standard of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cells in our center is determined to be 284.1-360.9 mL.

Objective: To understand the current status of diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) /small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) among hematologists, oncologists, and lymphoma physicians from hospitals of different levels in China. Methods: This multicenter questionnaire survey was conducted from March 2021 to July 2021 and included 1,000 eligible physicians. A combination of face-to-face interviews and online questionnaire surveys was used. A standardized questionnaire regarding the composition of patients treated for CLL/SLL, disease diagnosis and prognosis evaluation, concomitant diseases, organ function evaluation, treatment selection, and Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor was used. Results: ①The interviewed physicians stated that the proportion of male patients treated for CLL/SLL is higher than that of females, and the age is mainly concentrated in 61-70 years old. ②Most of the interviewed physicians conducted tests, such as bone marrow biopsies and immunohistochemistry, for patient diagnosis, in addition to the blood test. ③Only 13.7% of the interviewed physicians fully grasped the initial treatment indications recommended by the existing guidelines. ④In terms of cognition of high-risk prognostic factors, physicians' knowledge of unmutated immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable and 11q- is far inferior to that of TP53 mutation and complex karyotype, which are two high-risk prognostic factors, and only 17.1% of the interviewed physicians fully mastered CLL International Prognostic Index scoring system. ⑤Among the first-line treatment strategy, BTK inhibitors are used for different types of patients, and physicians have formed a certain understanding that BTK inhibitors should be preferentially used in patients with high-risk factors and elderly patients, but the actual use of BTK inhibitors in different types of patients is not high (31.6%-46.0%). ⑥BTK inhibitors at a reduced dose in actual clinical treatment were used by 69.0% of the physicians, and 66.8% of the physicians had interrupted the BTK inhibitor for >12 days in actual clinical treatment. The use of BTK inhibitors is reduced or interrupted mainly because of adverse reactions, such as atrial fibrillation, severe bone marrow suppression, hemorrhage, and pulmonary infection, as well as patients' payment capacity and effective disease progression control. ⑦Some differences were found in the perceptions and behaviors of hematologists and oncologists regarding the prognostic assessment of CLL/SLL, the choice of treatment options, the clinical use of BTK inhibitors, etc. Conclusion: At present, a gap remains between the diagnosis and treatment of CLL/SLL among Chinese physicians compared with the recommendations in the guidelines regarding the diagnostic criteria, treatment indications, prognosis assessment, accompanying disease assessment, treatment strategy selection, and rational BTK inhibitor use, especially the proportion of dose reduction or BTK inhibitor discontinuation due to high adverse events.

AIM: To compare the differences and agreement of anterior segment biometric parameters of myopic patients measured by domestic Scansys and the imported Sirius based on the principle of Scheimpflug imaging technique.METHODS: In this case series study, 103 cases(103 eyes)that underwent pre-refractive surgery(including small incision lenticule extraction, femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy and implantable contact lens implantation)at Aier Excellent Eye Hospital from May 2022 to October 2022 were recruited. Preoperative keratometry(Km), central corneal thickness(CCT), anterior chamber depth(ACDEndo.), anterior chamber angle(ACA), anterior chamber volume(ACV), white to white(WTW)of patients were recorded.RESULTS: The results of Km, CCT, ACA, and WTW measured by Scansys and Sirius were 42.88(41.54, 44.60)and 42.98(41.56, 44.52)D,(541.52±29.08)and(549.55±29.62)μm, 42.70°±2.67° and 46.63°±5.13°, 12.10±0.60 and 11.98±0.47 mm, respectively, showing the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.01). The ACV measured by Scansys and Sirius was 194.26±31.06 and 191.47±25.65 mm3, and ACDEndo. was 3.40(3.17, 3.57)and 3.43(3.19, 3.56)mm, with no statistically significant difference(all P>0.05). The range of Km, CCT, ACA, ACDEndo., ACV and WTW values measured by the two instruments was small, with an average difference close to zero, and the points percentage of 95% limits of agreement(LoA)was <5%, which is of good consistency.CONCLUSIONS: Scansys and Sirius have small differences and good agreement in the parameters, which can be replaced by each other in clinical practice. Scansys could theoretically be used to extrapolate the implantable contact lens model or could be a new option for anterior segment parameter measurements.

Objective:To investigate the association between fasting blood glucose levels and the risk of early vascular aging(EVA).Methods:The basic information, medical history, and laboratory results of 695 individuals who underwent health check-up at the Physical Examination Center of the First People′s Hospital of Changzhou from January 2020 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 695 healthy individuals were included in the study, among whom there were 249 cases of EVA and 446 cases of non-EVA. Compared to the non-EVA group, the EVA group showed significant differences in age, gender, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C), fasting blood glucose, left brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(L-baPWV), right brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(R-baPWV), systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure(all P<0.01). All participants were divided into three groups( T1, T2, T3) based on fasting blood glucose levels. As fasting blood glucose levels increased, body mass index, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, L-baPWV, R-baPWV, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and EVA indicators showed significant differences among the three groups(all P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, triglycerides, HDL-C, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose levels were significantly associated with the occurrence of EVA(all P<0.05). For the continuous variable of fasting blood glucose, in the regression equations without correction, with preliminary correction, and with full correction of covariates, higher fasting blood glucose levels significantly increased the risk of EVA, with odds ratios( OR) of 2.249, 2.580, and 2.413, respectively(all P<0.001). Compared to the T1 group, the risk of EVA in the T2 group, after no correction, preliminary correction, and full correction of covariates, was 1.881, 2.040, and 1.972, respectively(all P<0.01). The risk of EVA in the T3 group, unadjusted, preliminary adjustment, and full adjustment of covariates, was 3.234, 3.733, and 3.410, respectively(all P<0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, a linear relationship between fasting blood glucose levels and the occurrence of EVA was observed through smooth curve fitting. Conclusion:Elevated fasting blood glucose may increase the risk of developing EVA.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the primary cause of mortality among diabetic patients. With the increasing prevalence of diabetes, it has become a major concern around the world. The therapeutic effect of clinical use of drugs is far from expected, and therapy choices to slow the progression of DKD remain restricted. Therefore, research on new drugs and treatments for DKD has been a hot topic in the medical field. It has been found that rhein has the potential to target the pathogenesis of DKD and has a wide range of pharmacological effects on DKD, such as anti-nephritis, decreasing blood glucose, controlling blood lipids and renal protection. In recent years, the medical value of rhein in the treatment of diabetes, DKD and renal disease has gradually attracted worldwide attention, especially its potential in the treatment of DKD. Currently, DKD can only be treated with medications from a single symptom and are accompanied by adverse effects, while rhein improves DKD with a multi-pathway and multi-target approach. Therefore, this paper reviews the therapeutic effects of rhein on DKD, and proposes solutions to the limitations of rhein itself, in order to provide valuable references for the clinical application of rhein in DKD and the development of new drugs.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of distal rectal transection by using transanterior obturator nerve gateway (TANG) in laparoscopic radical resection for lower rectal cancers. Methods: A descriptive case series study was performed. Inclusion criteria: (1) patients with primary rectal adenocarcinoma, with the distance of 3-5 cm from tumor to anal verge, with normal anal function before surgery and a desire to preserve anus; (2) laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer was performed and the distal rectum was transected using TANG approach. Exclusion criteria: (1) patients with distant metastasis or receiving palliative surgery; (2) the distal rectum was transected using non-TANG approach; (3) patients receiving combined multiple organs resection; (4) patients complicated with other tumors requiring additional treatment during the study. Clinicopathological data of 50 patients with low rectal cancer undergoing laparoscopic resection using TANG approach between January 2019 and December 2020 in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively collected. Perioperative conditions, length of specific pelvic lines, additional angle and postoperative short-term outcomes were observed and described. Additional angle was defined as the angle between the simulated stapling line with the traditional approach and the real stapling line with the TANG approach. Data following normal distribution were presented as Mean±SD, or M [quartile range (Q(R))] otherwise. Results: All the patients successfully completed laparoscopic surgery without transferring to open or transanal surgery. The median operative time was 193 (80) min and blood loss was 50 (58) ml. All tumors received R0 resection with the distance from the tumor to distal resection margin of 1.7 (0.4) cm and the anastomotic height of 2.0 (0.1) cm. Rectal transection was completed by one cartridge in 52.0% of the cases (26/50) and two cartridges in 48.0% (24/50). Length of the stapling line was 6.6 (1.5) cm. The time to construct the gateway was 8.0 (6.0) min. The vessel damage occurred in 4.0% of the cases (2/50) and none of the cases encountered obturator nerve damage. Inlets of the pelvis in TANG and traditional approach were (9.9±1.3) cm vs. (7.2±1.1) cm (t=24.781, P<0.001). Additional angle of TANG was (15±2) °. The transecting positions on the midline and right edge of the rectum specimen by TANG were 0.6 (0.2) cm and 1.0 (0.2) cm lower than those by the traditional approach. One case (2.0%) died of pulmonary infection on the 17th day after surgery, 2 cases (4.0%) received re-operation and 14 cases (28.0%) had postoperative complications, including anastomotic leakage (7/50, 14.0%), urinary retention (6/50, 12.0%), pelvic infection (2/50, 4.0%) and ileus (2/50, 4.0%). The median postoperative hospital stay was 12 (6) days. Conclusions: Laparoscopic distal rectal transection by using TANG approach is safe and effective in the treatment of low rectal cancer. As an alternative rectal transecting method, TANG has advantages especially for the obese and those with a contracted pelvis and ultralow rectal cancers.
