Objective: To analyze the causes of abnormal blood agglutination caused by high-titer cold antibodies in blood donors from a serological perspective. Methods: The donor's blood type was identified using the tube method. Direct antiglobulin test (DAT), indirect antiglobulin test (IAT), and antibody titer detection were performed on the samples. Results: The blood type of the donor was type B, and the DAT was negative. No complement components were detected on the surface of the donor's red blood cells. The supernatant of the suspended red blood cells was clear without abnormal coloration, and the agglutinated clumps were intact and difficult to dissociate. The antibody was identified as an IgM-type anti-IH cold agglutinin. At 4℃, this antibody reacted with autologous red blood cells, adult group B red blood cells, adult group O red blood cells, cord blood group B red blood cells and cord blood group O red blood cells, with a stronger reaction intensity observed with group O cells than with B cells. The titers were 512, 128, 256, 32 and 128, respectively. Conclusion: High-titer anti-IH can cause abnormal agglutination of blood at low temperatures. During blood distribution and clinical use, the appearance of blood products shall be strictly inspected to prevent the release of non-conforming blood products.

Tailored lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)-mediated small interfering RNA (siRNA) nanomedicines show promise in treating liver disease, such as acute liver injury (ALI) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, constructing LNPs that address biosafety concerns, ensure efficient delivery, and target specific hepatic subcellular fractions has been challenging. To evade above obstacles, we develop three novel self-degradable "gemini-like" ionizable lipids (SS-MA, SS-DC, SS-MH) by incorporating disulfide bonds and modifying the length of ester bond and tertiary amino head. Our findings reveal that the disulfide-bond-bridged LNPs exhibit reduction-responsive drug release, improving both biosafety and siRNA delivery efficiency. Furthermore, the distance of ester bond and tertiary amino head significantly influences the LNPs' pK _a, thereby affecting endosomal escape, hemolytic efficiency, absorption capacity of ApoE, uptake efficiency of hepatocytes and liver accumulation. We also develop the modified-mannose LNPs (M-LNP) to target liver macrophages specifically. The optimized M-MH_LNP@TNFα exhibits potential in preventing ALI by decreasing tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) levels in the macrophages, while MH_LNP@DGAT2 could treat NASH by selectively degrading diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) in the hepatocytes. Our findings provide new insights into developing novel highly effective and low-toxic "gemini-like" ionizable lipids for constructing LNPs, potentially achieving more effective treatment for hepatic diseases.

Objective:To explore the effect of preoperative gamma-glutamyl transferase to albumin ratio (GAR) on prognosis of patients with Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC)stage 0-A hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after microwave ablation (MWA).Methods:The clinical data of 201 patients with BCLC stage 0 to A who underwent MWA at two centers of Jiaxing Second Hospital and Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2011 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 152 males and 49 females, aged (57.5±9.6) years. X-tile software was used to divide patients into a low GAR group ( n=84, GAR<0.9) and a high GAR group ( n=117, GAR≥0.9). Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and log-rank test was used for survival comparison. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between GAR and prognosis. Results:The cumulative survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years postoperatively were 98.7%, 93.8%, 78.5% for the low GAR group, which were superior to that 97.2%, 87.1%, 70.2% for the high GAR group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=11.89, P=0.001). The recurrence-free survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years after surgery between the two groups was no significant difference ( χ2=1.70, P=0.192). Multivariate analysis revealed that high GAR ( HR=2.723, 95% CI: 1.508-4.914, P=0.001) was independent risk factors for overall survival after MWA in patients with BCLC stages 0 to A HCC. Male gender ( HR=1.959, 95% CI: 1.127-3.305, P=0.017) and tumor diameter ≥2 cm ( HR=1.547, 95% CI: 1.008-2.373, P=0.046) were independent risk factors for recurrence after MWA in patients with BCLC stages 0 to A HCC. Univariate analysis, GAR≥0.9 was not associated with postoperative recurrence ( HR=1.315, 95% CI: 0.869-1.989, P=0.195). Conclusion:Preoperative GAR (≥0.9) is an independent risk factor affecting overall survival in patients with BCLC stages 0 to A HCC after MWA.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of olverembatinib in treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) progressed to acute lymphoblastic leukemia with D241E mutation.Methods:The diagnosis and treatment of a patient with D241E mutant CML progressed to acute lymphoblastic leukemia admitted to the Fourth People's Hospital of Jinan in December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 47-year-old female, and her blood test result was abnormal during physical examination. She was diagnosed as CML and received treatment with imatinib and dasatinib for 2 years. The disease progressed to philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia with BCR-ABL mutation (a D241E mutation). After 3 courses of chemotherapy combined with a targeted drug (ponatinib), the patient achieved complete remission, while the minimal residual disease continued to be positive. The patient received 1 course of chemotherapy combined with olverembatinib from the 4th course of treatment. After olverembatinib monotherapy maintenance therapy for 36 months, the patient achieved molecular complete remission with minimal residual disease. The patient developed complications such as skin pigmentation and elevated lipid levels, but all complications were tolerable.Conclusions:The application of olverembatinib in D241E mutant CML progressed to acute lymphoblastic leukemia can help patients obtain sustained molecular biological remission and good safety.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), characterized by impaired alveolarization and dysregulated vascularization, is a severe health burden for neonates worldwide. Hyperoxia induced acute lung injury is a major contributor to the progression and deterioration of BPD. An increasing number of animal studies have revealed that human umbilical cord blood derived mononuclear cells (hUCB-MNCs) infusion significantly attenuated the hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury through regeneration capacity. Currently, clinical application requires determination of the optimal dose and adjustment to good manufacturing practices. In this work, we comprehensively investigated the optimal dose of hUCB-MNCs in alleviating hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal C57BL6/J mice. Mice with hyperoxia exposure were implanted with low (3×104cells/kg, Dl), middle (3×105 cells/kg, Dm) and high (3×106 cells/kg, Dh) dose of hUCB-MNCs at postnatal day 7. Three weeks after graft, characteristics exhibited in lungs including morphology, function and cytokine expression were thoroughly analyzed. Implantation of hUCB-MNCs sharply reverted the impaired lung architecture induced by hyperoxia exposure dose dependently as evidenced by indicated parameters. Attenuated expression of IL-1β concomitant with enhanced expression of IL-10 and IL-2 were shown in Dh inoculated groups, where Dl and Dm failed to restore the level of IL-10, IL-1β and IL-2. Significantly re-escalated marker of angiogenic marker VEGFA, CD31 in lung tissue were uniquely observed in Dh group. Mechanistically, our study revealed the appropriate dose of intravenous infusion of hUCB-MNCs in alleviating hyperoxia-induced lung injury through modulating reactive oxygen species response in neonatal mice.Therefore, a tight control of hUCB-MNCs density or levels of CB-MNC related products is of great significance.

Objective To correctly identify the blood group of ABO and study its molecular biological characteristics.Methods Blood samples from blood donors with discrepancies in forward and reverse typing using the microplate method were subjected to both saline tube agglutination test for serological identification and polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers(PCR-SSP)for genotyping.Additionally,direct sequencing of exons 1 to 7 of the ABO gene was performed on some donor samples to analyze their blood phenotype,genotype and gene sequence.Results For 256 samples showing discrepancy between forward and reverse typing in microwell method,119 were identified as normal ABO blood types,90 were weakened ABO antibodies and 47 were ABO subtypes by serology tube test.According to the PCR-SSP genotyping test,233 of 256(91.02%)were consistent with serological phenotype and genotype,17 of 256(6.64%)were inconsistent,and 6 samples can′t read genotype based on the kit result typing table.A total of 17 genotypes were identified in 250 samples as AO1 in 56,AO2 in 58,AA in 50,BO1 in 31,BO2 in 17,BB in 8,O1O1 in 2,O1O2 in 7,AB in 13,AO4 in 1,A205O2 in 1,A205A in 1,A201A in 1,O1O4 in 1,O2O2 in 1,A201B in 1 and A205B in 1.Sequencing of exons 1 to 7 of the ABO gene was carried out in 78 samples,and 29 ABO alleles were detected,seven of which were common alleles(?A101,?A102,?A104,?B101,?O01,?O02,?O04),22 of which were rare alleles(?A201,?A205,?Ax01,?Ax03,?Ax13,?Ax19,?Ax22,?Ael10,?B305,?Bel03,?Bel06/?Bx02,?Bw07,?Bw12,?Bw17,?Bw37,?O05,?O26,?O61,?B(A)04,?B(A)07,?cisAB01 and ?cisAB01var).In addition,six rare allele mutation sites were identified(c.101A＞G;c.103_106delG;c.146_147insGC;c.259G＞T;c.322C＞T;c.932T＞C).Conclusion The identification of ambiguous ABO blood group requires the combination of serological testing and molecular biological examination to correctly identify the blood type and ensure the safety of clinical blood transfusion.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of deep muscle stimulation on muscle structure and function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. MethodsFrom January, 2023 to March, 2024, 30 children with spastic cerebral palsy in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 15) and intervention group (n = 15). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the intervention group added deep muscle stimulation, for four weeks. Before and after training, the gastrocnemius muscle was examined by ultrasound diagnosis system in two aspects: transverse incision and longitudinal incision. Indicators included fascicle length, muscular thickness, cross sectional area and pennation angle. The modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) was used to assess the muscle tension of the lower extremity of the affected side. The standing, walking, running and jumping function were evaluated by Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) D and E areas. ResultsAfter training, the fascicule length and pennation angle improved significantly in both groups (|t| > 6.329, P < 0.001), and they were better in the intervention group than in the control group (|t| > 2.347, P < 0.05); the scores of MAS decreased in both groups (t > 2.432, P < 0.05), and were better in the intervention group than in the control group (t = 2.140, P < 0.05); the scores of GMFM D and E areas significantly decreased in both groups (|t| > 8.473, P < 0.001), and were better in the intervention group than in the control group (|t| > 2.191, P < 0.05). ConclusionDeep muscle stimulation could improve the fascicule length and pennation angle, and improve the spasticity and motor function of lower extremities in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
