Objective: To analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with red blood cell transfusion reactions, the usage of red blood cell preparations, and the differences in the composition ratio of adverse reactions based on multi-center data from the Haemovigilance Network, in order to reveal the clinical characteristics of red blood cell transfusion and its underlying issues. Methods: Clinical data of patients who experienced transfusion reactions after red blood cell transfusion in the Haemovigilance Network from 2018 to 2023 were collected. The demographic characteristics of patients who experienced transfusion reactions with different types of red blood cell preparations, the utilization of these preparations, and the differences of the composition ratios of transfusion reactions were analyzed. Count data were expressed as numbers (n) or percentages (%), and comparisons between groups were performed using the Chi-square test. Results: Red blood cell transfusion reactions were more common in females (53.56%), with the majority of patients aged 50-69 years (35.54%). The Han polulation accounted for the vast majority of patients (92.77%), and patients in the hematology and obstetrics/gynecology departments had a relatively high proportion of transfusion reactions (13.26% and 14.26%, respectively). Leukocyte-reduced red blood cells and suspended red blood cells were the most common types of transfusion reactions reported among red blood cell preparations. Allergic reactions and non-hemolytic febrile reactions were the most common transfusion reactions, and there were significant differences in the composition ratios of allergic reactions (χ =869.89, P<0.05) and non-hemolytic febrile reactions (χ =812.75, P<0.05) across various types of red blood cell preparations. Conclusion: There are differences in the demographic characteristics and composition ratio of transfusion reactions among different red blood cell preparations. The management of red blood cell transfusion reactions should be tailored to patient characteristics and conditions, and the selection and use of blood products should be optimized to reduce or avoid the occurrence of transfusion reactions, such as considering the use of washed red blood cells for patients with a history of transfusion allergies or those prone to allergies.

ObjectiveTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutes a valuable cultural heritage and an important source of antitumor compounds. Poria (Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf), the dried sclerotium of a polyporaceae fungus, was first documented in Shennong’s Classic of Materia Medica and has been used therapeutically and dietarily in China for millennia. Traditionally recognized for its diuretic, spleen-tonifying, and sedative properties, modern pharmacological studies confirm that Poria exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antitumor activities. Pachymic acid (PA; a triterpenoid with the chemical structure 3β-acetyloxy-16α-hydroxy-lanosta-8,24(31)-dien-21-oic acid), isolated from Poria, is a principal bioactive constituent. Emerging evidence indicates PA exerts antitumor effects through multiple mechanisms, though these remain incompletely characterized. Neuroblastoma (NB), a highly malignant pediatric extracranial solid tumor accounting for 15% of childhood cancer deaths, urgently requires safer therapeutics due to the limitations of current treatments. Although PA shows multi-mechanistic antitumor potential, its efficacy against NB remains uncharacterized. This study systematically investigated the potential molecular targets and mechanisms underlying the anti-NB effects of PA by integrating network pharmacology-based target prediction with experimental validation of multi-target interactions through molecular docking, dynamic simulations, and in vitro assays, aimed to establish a novel perspective on PA’s antitumor activity and explore its potential clinical implications for NB treatment by integrating computational predictions with biological assays. MethodsThis study employed network pharmacology to identify potential targets of PA in NB, followed by validation using molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, MM/PBSA free energy analysis, RT-qPCR and Western blot experiments. Network pharmacology analysis included target screening via TCMSP, GeneCards, DisGeNET, SwissTargetPrediction, SuperPred, and PharmMapper. Subsequently, potential targets were predicted by intersecting the results from these databases via Venn analysis. Following target prediction, topological analysis was performed to identify key targets using Cytoscape software. Molecular docking was conducted using AutoDock Vina, with the binding pocket defined based on crystal structures. MD simulations were performed for 100 ns using GROMACS, and RMSD, RMSF, SASA, and hydrogen bonding dynamics were analyzed. MM/PBSA calculations were carried out to estimate the binding free energy of each protein-ligand complex. In vitro validation included RT-qPCR and Western blot, with GAPDH used as an internal control. ResultsThe CCK-8 assay demonstrated a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect of PA on NB cell viability. GO analysis suggested that the anti-NB activity of PA might involve cellular response to chemical stress, vesicle lumen, and protein tyrosine kinase activity. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that the anti-NB activity of PA might involve the PI3K/AKT, MAPK, and Ras signaling pathways. Molecular docking and MD simulations revealed stable binding interactions between PA and the core target proteins AKT1, EGFR, SRC, and HSP90AA1. RT-qPCR and Western blot analyses further confirmed that PA treatment significantly decreased the mRNA and protein expression of AKT1, EGFR, and SRC while increasing the HSP90AA1 mRNA and protein levels. ConclusionIt was suggested that PA may exert its anti-NB effects by inhibiting AKT1, EGFR, and SRC expression, potentially modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. These findings provide crucial evidence supporting PA’s development as a therapeutic candidate for NB.

Background and Aims:There is currently no consensus on whether the pancreaticoduodenectomy with Heidelberg triangle operation(PDTRIANGLE)or the standard radical pancreaticoduodenectomy(PDSTANDARD)is more beneficial for patients with pancreatic cancer,and no large-scale multicenter studies have confirmed this.Therefore,this study was conducted to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of PDTRIANGLE and PDSTANDARD for treating pancreatic cancer through a Meta-analysis. Methods:Relevant literature comparing the two surgical approaches comparing the two surgical approaches for treating pancreatic cancer was screened from Chinese and English databases based on inclusion criteria.The search timeframe extended from the inception of the databases to May 2024,and Review Manager 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis of the extracted outcome variables. Results:A total of 6 retrospective studies were included,comprising 658 patients,with 315 in the PDTRIANGLE group and 343 in the PDSTANDARD group.The Meta-analysis results showed that the operative time in the PDTRIANGLE group was longer than that in the PDSTANDARD group(OR=1.52,95％CI=0.42-2.61,P=0.007),the lymph node dissection rate was higher in the PDTRIANGLE group(OR=0.70,95％CI=-0.4-1.01,P＜0.000 01),and the R0 resection rate was also higher in the PDTRIANGLE group(OR=1.63,95％CI=1.03-2.58,P=0.04).The incidence rates of postoperative lymphatic fistula and diarrhea were higher in the PDTRIANGLE group compared to the PDSTANDARD group(OR=5.60,95％CI=1.81-17.29,P=0.003;OR=0.13,95％CI=0.07-0.20,P＜0.000 1).The length of hospital stay was longer in the PDTRIANGLE group(OR=0.40;95％CI=-0.14-0.65,P=0.003).The overall survival rates at 1 and 2 years were significantly better in the PDTRIANGLE group compared to the PDSTANDARD group(OR=2.19,95％CI=-1.27-3.76,P=0.005;OR=1.65,95％CI=-1.01-2.67,P=0.04),and the 1-year disease-free survival rate was also significantly higher in the PDTRIANGLE group(OR=3.71,95％CI=2.27-6.07,P＜0.000 01),although the difference in the 2-year disease-free survival rate between the two groups was not statistically significant(OR=2.63,95％CI=-0.91-7.59,P=0.07). Conclusion:PDTRIANGLE is a safe and effective treatment for pancreatic cancer.Compared to PDSTANDARD,PDTRIANGLE significantly improves the R0 resection rate,thereby enhancing the postoperative disease-free survival rate and achieving a better long-term prognosis.

Clostridium perfringens is a common Gram-positive anaerobic conditioned pathogen,widely existing in nature,which can cause diarrhea,gas gangrene,and other diseases.Antibiotics are used in the clinical treatment of Clostridium perfringens infection,but the bacteria will devel-op resistance through mutation,drug-resistant plasmid transmission,and other ways,so that Clos-tridium perfringens can survive under the environmental pressure of antibiotics.Therefore,it is very important to find and develop new preparations to replace antibiotics or as feed additives to target the removal of Clostridium perfringens from the body or to prevent infection.In this study,a virulent Clostridium perfringens phage vB_CPP_AT was isolated from sewage by double plate method.The morphology of the bacteriophage was observed by transmission electron microscope.The biological characteristics of the bacteriophage were analyzed by lytic spectrum,MOI,pH,and temperature tolerance.The results showed that the vB_CPP_AT belongs to the Podoviridae.It would grow explosively at 60 min with an optimal MOI of 0.1.The vB_CPP_AT only lyse Clos-tridium perfringens and the lytic rate was 40％(8/20).No cleavage reaction occurred with other bacteria tested.The phage had good thermal stability and acid-base tolerance.Genomic analysis re-vealed that the phage had double-stranded DNA with a total length of 16 790 bp,and 20 open read-ing frames.Genomic analysis of vBCPPAT showed that it was a new virulent phage of Clostridi-um perfringens.The results laid a foundation for the clinical treatment of Clostridium perfringens with phage.
