[Objective] To analyze the changes of platelet extracellular vesicles (PEVs) content in apheresis at different storage periods, track the PEVs and transfusion efficacy of patients, and explore the mechanism of PEVs in relation to platelet storage damage and transfusion efficacy. [Methods] From November 2022 to April 2024, a total of 85 apheresis platelets samples were collected at Jiading District Blood Station. Flow cytometry was used to detect the content of PEVs on the day of collection and before transfusion. The changes in the content of PEVs stored for 1 to 5 days were observed. Patients with acute leukemia were selected as transfusion recipients, and their content of platelet count and PEVs before transfusion and within 24 hours after transfusion, and the efficacy were tracked to explore the mechanism of PEVs in relation to storage lesion and transfusion efficacy. [Results] The content of PEVs before platelet infusion (8.73±4.84) was significantly higher than that on the day of platelet collection (5.11±3.33), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The increase in the content of PEVs in storage for 2 to 5 days was 2.55±1.38, 3.49±2.63, 3.86±3.55 and 4.50±3.91, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The PEVs content in patients after blood transfusion was positively correlated with that before transfusion and that in apheresis platelet bags during transfusion (P<0.001) A total of 85 cases of apheresis platelet transfusion were conducted, with 61 effective transfusions having a CCI value of (13.43±4.70), and 24 transfusion refractoriness cases having a CCI value of (2.27±3.67), showing a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The transfusion effectiveness rates for patients receiving different storage periods of apheresis platelets of 2 to 5 days were 88.89%, 68.42%, 68.18% and 57.14% respectively, with corresponding CCI values of 11.18±6.10, 10.43±6.77, 9.53±6.75 and 9.48±8.86, and there was no significant difference between CCI groups (P>0.05). There was no significant correlation between the PEVs content before and after transfusion and the efficacy of CCI (P>0.05). There was no significant correlation between the PEVs content before apheresis platelet transfusion and the efficacy of CCI (P>0.05). [Conclusion] The content of PEVs increased with the prolongation of storage time, which could be used as a potential blood quality evaluation and monitoring index during the storage period, but it was not significantly correlated with the efficacy of CCI in transfusion.

Permeability is one of the determinants of intestinal absorption and oral bioavailability. The non-cell-based permeation model is a kind of in vitro permeability measurement tool, which has the advantages of high efficiency, low cost, stable property, easy to use and customizable. According to the barrier type, non-cell-based permeation model can be divided into biomimetic barriers containing (phosphate) lipids and non-biomimetic barriers without lipids. Biomimetic permeation models include parallel artificial membrane permeability assay, vesicle-based permeation assay and PermeaPad®. Non biomimetic permeation models include Hollow fiber membrane models based on polyether sulfone materials. In foreign countries, the application of these four barriers for different purposes is gradually becoming a hot spot in drug absorption research. However, in China, there are only more applied studies on PMAPM and few published applied studies on the other three barriers. In order to meet the development needs of insoluble drug formulations, the author summarized the permeability devices and permeability calculation methods, searched the application of non-cell-based permeation model in the permeability of BSCⅡ drugs in recent years, and summarized the characteristic applications of three Biomimetic permeation models and hollow fiber membranes.

Objective:To analyze the application of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in laparoscopic resection of pancreatic cancer.Methods:Data of 15 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic cancer in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from June 2022 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 13 males and 2 females, aged (67.0±8.6) years. ICG were intraoperatively injected to visualize the lesion and guide surgical resection. The surgical methods, postoperative pathology, ICG fluorescence imaging and tumor margins were reviewd.Results:Among the patients, seven underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, seven underwent laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreaticosplenectomy, and one conversed to open pancreaticoduodenectomy due to combined superior mesenteric vein reconstruction. Postoperative pathology confirmed pancreatic moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma in nine cases, pancreatic moderately-low differentiated adenocarcinoma in four cases, pancreatic follicular cell carcinoma in one case, and inflammatory lesion in one case. Negative surgical margins were confirmed in all cases. Pancreatic lesion were visualized in 14 cases (fluorescent delineation of the tumor capsule) but not well visualized in one case (with moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma). In the case of inflammatory disease, the lesion parenchyma were visualized.Conclusion:ICG injection in laparoscopic surgery enables visualization of pancreatic tumor, which facilitates tumor localization and margin determination.

OBJECTIVE To explore the protective effect and mechanism of Longshengzhi capsules on cerebral ischemia- reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS The model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was established by using the improved thread occlusion method. The experiment was divided into six groups: sham surgery group (only separating blood vessels without inserting thread plugs, given the same volume of normal saline), model group (modeling, given the same volume of normal saline), nimodipine group (positive control, modeling, dose of 20 mg/kg), and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of Longshengzhi capsules (modeling, doses of 0.72, 1.44 and 2.88 g/kg, respectively), with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given corresponding medication solution/normal saline by gavage, once a day, for 7 consecutive days. One hour after the last administration, the Zea Longa scoring method was used to score the neurological deficits in each group of rats, and the ABC enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in rats; TTC staining was used to observe the volume of cerebral infarction in rats and calculate the cerebral infarction volume ratio. Hematoxylin eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the brain tissue of rats. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the positive expression of NLRP3 protein in the brain tissue of rats. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect mRNA relative expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the brain tissue of rats. Western blot assay was adopted to detect the relative expressions of TLR4, NLRP3 and phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB) protein in the brain tissue of rats and its intracellular NF-κB protein. RESULTS Compared with the sham surgery group, the neural dysfunction score, serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6, cerebral infarction volume ratio, relative expression levels of NF-κB and TLR4 mRNA, as well as protein relative expressions of TLR4, NLRP3 and p-NF-κB in the brain tissue, and relative protein expression of intracellular NF-κB were increased significantly in the model group (P<0.01); the enlarged gap and significant edema were observed in cortical nerve cells of brain tissue in rats, with a large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration; the positive expression of NLRP3 protein in brain tissue of rats obviously increased. Compared with the model group, the levels of the above indicators in the medium-dose and high-dose groups of Longshengzhi capsules, as well as the Nimodipine group, were reversed to varying degrees, and most differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the pathological morphology observation showed a significant improvement, and the positive expression of NLRP3 protein in the brain tissue of rats was obviously reduced. CONCLUSIONS Longshengzhi capsules may inhibit TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway and neuroinflammatory response, thereby achieving a protective effect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective :
To examine the association between acute exposure to traffic-related air pollutants (TRAP) NOX and NO2 and outpatient visits of pediatric respiratory diseases.
Methods :
Data regarding outpatient visits to Department of Respiratory Diseases of Beijing Children's Hospital from 2015 to 2020 were collected, and the concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOX), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and other TRAP were collected from the surveillance sites assigned by the Peking University Health Science Center. A time-stratified case-crossover design was employed, and a conditional logistic regression model was created to examine the association between NOX and NO2 acute exposure and outpatient visits of pediatric respiratory diseases.
Results :
The daily mean outpatient visits of pediatric respiratory diseases were 571 (interquartile range, 554) person-times among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in Beijing Children's Hospital from 2015 to 2020, and the daily mean outpatient visits for upper respiratory tract infections (URI), bronchitis, and pneumonia were 265 (interquartile range, 282), 143 (interquartile range, 178) and 128 (interquartile range, 120) person-times, respectively. The daily mean concentrations of atmospheric NOX and NO2 were 67.8 (interquartile range, 50.7) and 49.3 (interquartile range, 30.7) μg/m3, respectively. Conditional logistic regression analysis showed the largest lagged effect of NOX and NO2 on pediatric respiratory diseases at cumulative lags of 0 to 7 days. An increase in NOX concentrations by an interquartile range resulted in the excess risks of URI, bronchitis and pneumonia by 6.87% (95%CI: 6.37%-7.38%), 7.25% (95%CI: 6.51%-7.99%), and 5.51% (95%CI: 4.69%-6.33%), and an increase in NO2 concentrations by an interquartile range resulted in excess risks of URI, bronchitis and pneumonia by 5.71% (95%CI: 5.12%-6.31%), 5.32% (95%CI: 4.51%-6.14%), and 4.83% (95%CI: 3.91%-5.75%), respectively. NOX and NO2 presented a more remarkable effect on outpatient visits of pediatric respiratory diseases among children at ages of over 5 years.
Conclusion
NOx and NO2 acute exposure may increase the outpatient visits of pediatric respiratory diseases.

Objective:To purify H5N1 influenza virus concentrate prepared by MDCK cells with a new mixed-mode chromatography medium Capto Core700 and the traditional medium Sepharose 4FF, and to compare the separation and purification efficacy of the two media.Methods:Capto Core700 and Sepharose 4FF were used to purify inactivated H5N1 influenza virus concentrate. The morphology of virus particles in different samples was then observed under a transmission electron microscope. Single radial immunodiffusion (SRID), Folin-Phenol (Lowry) method, double-antibody sandwich ELISA and qPCR were used to detect hemagglutinin, total protein, host cell protein (HCP) and host cell DNA (HCD) before and after purification. The recovery rate of virus antigen and the removal rate of impurities were calculated. The immunogenicity of the viruses purified with different media was analyzed using animal experiments. Difference in the purification efficacy of the two chromatography media was analyzed by t-test. Results:H5N1 influenza viruses purified by Capto Core700 or Sepharose 4FF showed the typical influenza virus morphology under transmission electron microscope. There was no significant difference in the recovery rate of hemagglutinin between the two chromatography media ( P>0.05), but compared with Sepharose 4FF, Capto Core700 had a higher removal rate of impurities (total protein, HCP, HCD) and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Animal experiments showed that the viruses purified by the two chromatography media had good immunogenicity. Conclusions:Compared with Sepharose 4FF chromatography medium, Capto Core700 could more effectively remove process-related impurities such as HCP, HCD and total protein without affecting the recovery rate of viral antigen. This study provided reference for the development of purification technology in the production of H5N1 influenza virus vaccine in MDCK cells.
