Based on the thinking of programmatization and proceduralization, this study integrated traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classic theories with modern knowledge expression technologies to construct a "formula-symptom" syndrome differentiation thinking model centered on "symptom clustering-main syndrome screening-formula adaptation", and explored the standardization and intelligentization path of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. By establishing the mapping relationship model between formulas and syndromes including quantitative weight analysis of chief, deputy, assistant and envoy medicines, designing the logical hierarchical structure of formula-syndrome decision tree (application of three-level decision tree and fuzzy logic), and formulating the procedural design of four diagnostic methods (structured collection, correlation model, and dynamic correction mechanism), the standardization and visualization of the syndrome differentiation process are realized. This model can be transformed into the core data set for artificial intelligence training. Through ternary knowledge graph and machine learning algorithms, it can improve the repeatability of syndrome differentiation and the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment, and implement the strategy of "group model + individual modification" to balance the conflict between quantification and individualization. The core value of this model lies in promoting the objectification and precision development of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment through the integration of traditional syndrome differentiation thinking and modern system science.

Objective: To analyze the nucleic acid load of human parvovirus B19 in major commercially available blood products in China, including human albumin, human intravenous immunoglobulin, human rabies immunoglobulin and various coagulation factor products, aiming to provide evidence for improving blood product manufacturing processes and quality control of source plasma. Methods: A total of 98 batches of coagulation factor products were tested for human parvovirus B19 nucleic acid using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, including 42 batches of human prothrombin complex, 35 batches of human coagulation factor Ⅷ, and 21 batches of human fibrinogen. Additionally, 6 batches of human albumin, 6 batches of human intravenous immunoglobulin, and 38 batches of human rabies immunoglobulin were tested for human parvovirus B19 nucleic acid. Results: Human parvovirus B19 nucleic acid were undetectable in human albumin, human intravenous immunoglobulin and human rabies immunoglobulin. Among the 98 batches of coagulation factor products tested for human parvovirus B19 nucleic acid, B19 nucleic acid reactivity rate was 69.0% (29/42) for human prothrombin complex batches, but nucleic acid concentration were all significantly lower than 10
IU/mL. The reactivity rate of B19 nucleic acid in 35 batches of human coagulation factor Ⅷ was 48.6% (17/35), with nucleic acid concentration all below 10
IU/mL. The reactivity rate of B19 nucleic acid in 21 batches of human fibrinogen was 61.9% (13/21), with nucleic acid concentration all below 10
IU/mL. Conclusion: No human parvovirus B19 has been detected in human albumin, human intravenous immunoglobulin, or human rabies immunoglobulin. Human parvovirus B19 nucleic acid may exist in commercially available coagulation factor products, highlighting the need for enhanced screening of human parvovirus B19 nucleic acid in these products. It is also recommended that B19 viral nucleic acid testing be conducted on source plasma, particularly for coagulation factor products.

OBJECTIVE:
To review the research progress and challenges of poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) membrane in preventing tendon adhesion.
METHODS:
The relevant literature at home and abroad in recent years was extensively searched, covering the mechanism of tendon adhesion formation, the adaptation challenge and balancing strategy of PLLA, the physicochemical modification of PLLA anti-adhesion membrane and its application in tendon anti-adhesion. In this paper, the research progress and modification strategies of PLLA membranes were systematically reviewed from the three dimensions of tissue adaptation, mechanical adaptation, and degradation adaptation.
RESULTS:
The three-dimensional adaptation of PLLA membrane is optimized by combining materials (such as hydroxyapatite, polycaprolactone), structural design (multilayer/gradient membrane), and drug loading (anti-inflammatory drug). The balance between anti-adhesion and pro-healing is achieved, the mechanical adaptation significantly improve, and degradation is achieved (targeting the degradation cycle to 2-4 weeks to cover the tendon repair period).
CONCLUSION
In the future, it is necessary to identify the optimal balance point of three-dimensional fitness, unify the evaluation criteria and solve the degradation side effects through the co-design of physicochemical modification and drug loading system to break through the bottleneck of clinical translation.

BACKGROUND:Hydrogel microparticles,due to their porous and injectable properties,have demonstrated unique advantages in biomedical fields,such as the delivery of cells and bioactive factors/drugs,the construction of tissue repair scaffolds.They have broad application prospects. OBJECTIVE:To review the latest research progress and discuss the key problems and challenges in the research of bone tissue engineering based on hydrogel microparticles. METHODS:The relevant articles in PubMed and CNKI were searched by computer.The English key words were"hydrogels,microparticles,microspheres,microcarriers,bone,bone defect,bone repair,bone healing,bone tissue engineering"while the Chinese key words were"hydrogels,microparticles,microspheres,bone tissue engineering,bone defect,bone repair,bone regeneration".The retrieval period was from 2002 to 2022,and 127 articles were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)At present,various hydrogel microparticles have been developed for use in bone tissue engineering strategies,for example,hydrogel microparticles carrying cells or bioactive factors/drugs,hydrogel microparticles as biological scaffolds,stimulus-responsive hydrogel microparticles,biomineralized hydrogel microparticles,hydrogel microparticles combined with other biological materials.(2)Bone tissue engineering repair strategies based on hydrogel microparticles mainly regulate bone repair by promoting stem cell recruitment and osteogenic differentiation,regulating the local inflammatory microenvironment and promoting angiogenesis at the site of injury.However,the present studies did not deeply explore the effect of bone tissue engineering based on hydrogel microparticles on the recruitment and differentiation of endogenous stem cells and the regulation of the inflammatory microenvironment by the physical and chemical properties of hydrogel microparticles.The long-term in vivo adverse reactions of hydrogel microparticles have not been explored yet,and it is difficult to mass-produce them,thus future research needs to strengthen the mechanism exploration and technical route,so as to provide a reasonable reference for the development of hydrogel microparticles that can be used for clinical transformation.
6.Exploring of pH conditions for HIV detection(ELISA) in IVIG finished products
Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(12):1463-1469
Objective To explore the pH conditions for human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) detection(ELISA) in the finished products of human immunoglobulin(pH 4) for intravenous injection(IVIG), in order to control the residual HIV risk of IVIG and ensure the safety of blood products.Methods The HIV antibody reference materials and antigen reference materials were diluted to the detection limit level using different pH buffer solutions. The detection of HIV reference materials at different pH and detection limit levels by the reagent kit were observed to determine the appropriate pH detection range of the reagent kit. The pH range of the finished product was adjusted to the appropriate range of the reagent kit by using different concentrations of Tris-HCl solutions, and then the HIV antibody reference materials and HIV antigen reference materials were diluted to the detection limit level to obtain the appropriate pH detection range of the product.Results The A450/630 values of the HIV antibody reference materials and HIV antigen reference materials with detection buffer at pH 7. 0-9. 0 were similar to those of the normal saline(NS) group, and the suitable pH range for the HIV kit used was pH 7. 0-9. 0. IVIG 4. 0 was diluted with0. 1 mol/L Tris-HCl solution to the appropriate pH range of the reagent kit as the diluent. The A450/630 value of antibody 0. 25 NCU/mL in IVIG pH 7. 0-8. 0 group was higher than the cutoff value and significantly higher than that in the IVIG pH 4. 0 group.The amount of 0. 1 mol/L Tris-HCl solution added accounted for more than 1/5 of the IVIG volume. IVIG 4. 0 was diluted with 1 mol/L Tris-HCl solution to the appropriate pH range of the reagent kit as the diluent. The A450/630value of antibody 0. 25 NCU/mL and antigen 1. 5 U/mL levels was higher than the cutoff value in the IVIG pH 7. 0-9. 0 group. The amount of 1 mol/L Tris-HCl solution added was only 1/28-1/37 of the total detection volume, and had little effect on the effective detection content of the test sample.Conclusion Compared to the detection conditions of pH 4. 0, pH 7. 5-8. 0 is more suitable for HIV detection in IVIG. 1 mol/L Tris-HCl solution was used to adjust the pH of IVIG to 7. 5-8. 0 for HIV detection(ELISA)in IVIG, which effectively solves the problem that the pH bias in IVIG finished product is not conducive to HIV detection, with no effect on the detection volume of the finished product, thus significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

Iron is indispensable for the viablility of nearly all living organisms, and it is imperative for cells, tissues, and organisms to acquire this essential metal sufficiently and maintain its metabolic stability for survival. Disruption of iron homeostasis can lead to the development of various diseases. There is a robust connection between iron metabolism and infection, immunity, inflammation, and aging, suggesting that disorders in iron metabolism may contribute to the pathogenesis of arthritis. Numerous studies have focused on the significant role of iron metabolism in the development of arthritis and its potential for targeted drug therapy. Targeting iron metabolism offers a promising approach for individualized treatment of arthritis. Therefore, this review aimed to investigate the mechanisms by which the body maintains iron metabolism and the impacts of iron and iron metabolism disorders on arthritis. Furthermore, this review aimed to identify potential therapeutic targets and active substances related to iron metabolism, which could provide promising research directions in this field.

[Objective] To establish a real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR nucleic acid detection method of human parvovirus B19 and validate the method systematically. [Methods] Specific primers and probes for the highly conserved regions of the three genotypes of B19 virus were designed, and B19 quantitative amplification standard curves were established. The accuracy, precision (repeatability and intermediate precision), linear range, quantification limit, detection limit, specificity, anti cross contamination, genotyping and anti-interference ability of this method were verified. [Results] When the quantitative reference range for B19 virus was 2.0×101 to 1.0×108 IU/mL, a double logarithmic regression analysis was performed between the measured values and the theoretical values, and the regression equation R2≥0.98 showed good linear correlation. The quantification limit was 20 IU/mL, with a detection rate of 100%. The detection limit was 10 IU/mL, and the detection rate is 95.23%. Three genotypes of B19 virus samples can be effectively detected. The plasma of seven non B19 pathogens, including hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human immuno-deficiency virus, human cytomegalovirus, hepatitis E virus and Treponema pallidum, was non reactive and has good species specificity. Simultaneously, in the presence of seven other concurrent pathogens, positive samples with a weak positive concentration of E3 IU/mL could be stably detected, and the B19 nucleic acid testing method was not interfered with. When the hemoglobin concentration was 431 mg/dL, triglycerides (1 269 turbidity) and unconjugated bilirubin concentration was 20 mg/dL, this method was non reactive for all three common plasma interfering substances. In the presence of three common plasma interfering substances, positive samples with a weak positive concentration of E3 IU/mL could be stably detected, and the B19 nucleic acid testing method was not interfered with. The deviation between the detection values of standard substances at two concentration levels of S1 (E5 IU/mL) and S2 (E4 IU/mL) and the target values were≤±0.5 log value. The CV values of positive sample 1 (concentration level E5 IU/mL) and positive sample 2 (concentration level E4 IU/mL) for daily precision confirmation and continuous 5-day intra-day precision confirmation were both≤5%. [Conclusion] This method has strong specificity, high sensitivity, wide linear range, stability, reliability and high accuracy, and can be used for the detection of human parvovirus B19 nucleic acid in plasma.
