Objective: To systematically analyze the current status and influencing factors of platelet supply in medical institutions across China, and to explore the problems and future development directions of the existing supply models. Methods: From February 25 to March 5, 2025, a web-based questionnaire survey was performed. A self-designed questionnaire was distributed to staff in the blood transfusion departments of medical institutions nationwide in China. Data on the current status and influencing factors of platelet supply were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 2 268 responses were collected in this survey, with 1 366 valid questionnaires finally included, covering 33 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government across China. The survey revealed that platelet supply in Chinese medical institutions exhibited a pattern of "sufficient in the eastern region, stable in the central region, and scarce in the western region": adequate in East China; generally favorable in South China except Guangxi; centered on Beijing and Tianjin in North China; basically met but with insufficient reserves in Central China; subject to seasonal fluctuations in Northeast China; only meeting the baseline supply in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in Southwest China; and notably short in Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang in Northwest China. Family donor mobilization was required in 81.2% (1 109/1 366) of institutions, whereas this proportion was only 12.7% (173/1 366) among institutions with sufficient supply. Tertiary hospitals constituted the main users, among which tertiary Class A hospitals had the highest sufficiency rate, and secondary Class B hospitals showed the most pronounced shortage. A total of 84% (1 147/1 366) of institutions lacked a professional management team; only 19% (266/1 366) had an inventory warning system, of which 88% (234/266) considered it effective. Platelet reservation required 3 days in 33% (458/1 366) of institutions. The mandatory transfusion rate was 30.55% (29/118) when the reservation lead time exceeded 3 days, representing an increase of 5.98% compared with 24.57% (55/180) in the same-day reservation group. For optimization, most institutions called for improved blood donation services, strengthened education and incentives, establishment of regional coordination and policy collaboration, and supplementary suggestions focused on technologies for extending platelet shelf life. Conclusion: Regional imbalance in platelet supply across China is prominent, with supply shortages in some provinces, reliance on family donor mobilization in most institutions, weak grassroots support capacity, imperfect management systems, and supply timeliness constraining clinical practice. Systematic improvements are needed in optimizing blood donation services, strengthening regional coordination, improving relevant policies, and developing platelet preservation technologies, so as to enhance the level of supply security and patient safety.

Objective: To systematically investigate the current status of platelet clinical application in Chinese medical institutions based on a nationwide large-sample survey, to analyze the key issues in rational utilization and transfusion efficacy management, and to provide empirical evidence for the construction of a standardized and refined platelet management system. Methods: A selfdesigned online questionnaires was distributed to transfusion department personnel across China to collect and analyze the current clinical application status of platelets. Results: A total of 2 268 questionnaires were collected in this survey, among which 1 375 valid responses were obtained from medical institutions across 33 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). The survey revealed an uneven distribution of clinical platelet consumption; 67.05% of facilities used fewer than 500 platelet u-nits annually, and highvolume demand concentrated in a small number of largescale hospitals. Platelet consumption showed a weak correlation with hospital grade and hospital bed number. The disease spectrum for platelet transfusion was highly concentrated. Hematological diseases constituted the leading indication (reported by 1 022 institutions), followed by traumarelated surgeries and solid tumors. In terms of management practice, 70.3% of participating institutions routinely performed posttransfusion efficacy evaluation. Nevertheless, this practice was limited by inadequate evaluation depth (only 58.3% kept detailed records) and institutional deficiency (12.9% had no relevant evaluation systems), mainly due to insufficient awareness and lack of unified criteria. Although 70.0% of hospitals had established adversereaction management workflows and 91.8% achieved highcoverage adverseevent reporting, prominent drawbacks remained, including nonstandardized implementation (standard practice was adopted merely in 41.9% of centers), unsystematic outcome analysis (regular analysis performed in only 26.4% of institutions), and broken feedback loops (56.3% failed to send feedback to blood collection and supply institutions). More than 90% of hospitals selfrated their rational plateletuse rate above 75%. The primary contributors to inappropriate platelet transfusion included biased assessment of clinical indications and excessive prophylactic transfusion triggered by timerelated imbalance between blood supply and clinical demand. Platelet supply status had no statistically significant correlation with routine posttransfusion assessment and selfevaluated rational use levels. Furthermore, plateletrelated management was confronted with a paradox coexisting of supply shortage and bloodproduct waste. While platelet preparation quality was generally reliable, expiration was the top cause of platelet discard (24.80%). Insufficient and untimely supply (79.3%) and short shelflife (46.0%) were recognized as core systematic challenges. Conclusion: China's current platelet management system features extensive institutional coverage paired with insufficient closedloop effectiveness. First, platelet consumption is highly concentrated, yet supply shortage and expiredproduct discard coexist, reflecting insufficient capacity for dynamic inventory allocation and wholeprocess administration. Second, clinicians generally hold positive selfevaluations for rational platelet application, whereas their clinical decisions are substantially constrained by conflicts between supply and demand, bringing about situational compromises under resource limitations. Third, despite established frameworks for efficacy evaluation and adverseevent management, widespread problems such as irregular documentation, unsystematic data analysis and interrupted crosshospital feedback hinder the transition from formal rules to practical management benefits. Comprehensive strategies should be adopted for future improvement. Clinically, standardized training on transfusion indications and unified criteria for posttransfusion assessment should be popularized. Administratively, intelligent inventory systems ought to be constructed to balance supplydemand matching, and closedloop management covering adverseevent analysis and feedback to bloodsupply agencies should be enforced. At the systematic level, advances in technologies for prolonged platelet storage are urgently required to build a resilient and highefficiency plateletguarantee system.

Objective:
To explore the correlation between parent-child separation experience and non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide a reference for the prevention and improvement of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students.
Methods:
Using a stratified cluster random sampling method, 3 114 junior and senior high school students aged 11-19 years were recruited from Chenzhou and Jishou cities in Hunan Province between November 2024 and September 2025. A self designed questionnaire and the Functional Self injury Behavior Assessment Scale were used to collect information on parental labor migration and adolescents NSSI behavior status. Binary Logistic regression model was used to analyse the association between parent-child separation experiences and NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students, with further stratified analysis by gender.
Results:
The prevalence rate of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students was 9.9%, and the overall incidence of parent-child separation was 48.9%, comprising 17.1% separated from their father only, 5.5% separated from their mother only, and 26.3% separated from both parents. After adjusting for variables such as age, gender, and ethnicity, the results of binary Logistic regression analyses indicated that adolescents with parent-child separation experiences had a higher risk of NSSI behavior ( OR =1.31, 95% CI =1.01-1.69, P <0.05). Compared with those without parent-child separation experiences, adolescents who were separated from their mother only ( OR =1.68, 95% CI =1.03-2.74) or from both parents ( OR =1.41, 95% CI =1.04-1.92) showed significantly increased risks of NSSI behavior (both P <0.05).
Conclusions
Parent-child separation experiences are associated with an increased risk of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students. Strengthened attention should be paid to left behind senior high school students to reduce the occurrence of NSSI in adolescents.

Objective: To explore the influencing factors of blood transfusion volume in obstetric patients based on the national health development strategy, and to provide evidence for clinical transfusion management and maternal and infant safety. Methods: A total of 1 203 obstetric patients who received blood transfusion in a tertiary hospital in Beijing from 2013 to 2023 were enrolled retrospectively. Seventeen indicators including age, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin and prothrombin time were selected as research variables. Descriptive analysis was conducted firstly. Scatter plot matrix was used to analyze the correlation between continuous variables and transfusion volume, and box plots were used to analyze the relationship between categorical variables and transfusion volume. Linear regression, logistic regression and random forest models were established for empirical analysis, and ROC curves and AUC values were compared to evaluate model performance. Results: Descriptive analysis showed that the distribution of obstetric blood transfusion volume was right-skewed, and multiple indicators were significantly correlated with transfusion volume. Linear regression indicated that 9 variables such as age, BMI and hemoglobin had linear correlation with transfusion volume. Logistic regression confirmed that 7 variables including BMI and hemoglobin were statistically correlated with the probability of massive blood transfusion. Random forest model screened the core influencing factors, which were ranked by importance: hemoglobin, prothrombin time, hematocrit, BMI, activated partial thromboplastin time, platelet count and age. The AUC values of logistic regression and random forest were 0.78 and 0.81 respectively, and the latter had better predictive performance. Conclusion: Prenatal anemia, coagulation disorders, advanced age, obesity, gestational hypertension, placental abnormalities and organ damage can increase the risk of massive blood transfusion in obstetric patients. The random forest model has better analytical and predictive ability in this study. The results can provide reference for accurate blood transfusion and risk prediction in obstetrics.

To analyze the clinical data and imaging examination data of a patient with metallic mercury poisoning from subcutaneous injection. The abdominal B-ultrasonograph results of the patient indicated multiple scattered hyperechoic spots accompanied by "comet tail" sign in the liver and right renal sinus, the nature of which was not clear and it was considered crystal deposition. The chest X-ray revealed scattered and multiple spot-like, snowflake-like and tree-cast-like high-density shadows in both lung fields. The chest computed tomography scan revealed multiple spot and patchy high-density shadows distributed in both lungs, considering hematogenous distribution deposits, and possible mercury poisoning. Laboratory test results showed that blood mercury level was 4.16 μmol/L and urine mercury level was 6 545.5 μg/g Cr. After 28 days of mercury chelation therapy, the abdominal ultrasound examination showed that the hyperechoic spots in the liver and right renal sinus were reduced compared with the previous examination. Metallic mercury poisoning from subcutaneous injection has specific manifestations in abdominal B-ultrasound imaging, which can provide a basis for the early diagnosis of metallic mercury poisoning in clinical practice and can be used to observe the efficacy of mercury chelation therapy.

A 11-year old female patient with severe thalassemia, receipt a lentivirus-based cell and gene therapy (CGT) therapy in Shenzhen Children′s Hosptial on July 27th, 2021. At the two follow-up visits after discharge, patient were continuously tested positive for HIV screening through HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay (chemiluminescence Immunoassay), and the viral load results of HIV-1 nucleic acid testing (NAT) were both>5 000 copies/ml. The patient can be diagnosed with HIV infection according to the National Guideline for Detection of HIV/AIDS(2020 Revised Edition). The thorough investigation findings and supplementary experiment results indicated that the false-positive HIV-1 NAT results was caused by cross-reactivity between the target sites detected by conventional HIV-1 NAT reagents and the lentiviral vectors fragments integrated into the genome of patient′s hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In conclusion, it is important for laboratories to select appropriate HIV-1 NAT testing platforms which won′t cause cross-reactivity for the testing of samples from patients who have been treated with HIV-derived vectors. It is also recommended to design and develop NAT testing platforms with multiple target regions labeled by different fluorescents for HIV NAT supplementation experiment to reduce the risk of false-positive diagnoses of HIV infection.
