Objective: To investigate the molecular genetic background of ABO subgroups among 23 multi-ethnic voluntary unpaid blood donors in Urumqi. Methods: A total of 23 blood donor samples of ABO subgroups with ABO group discrepancies detected by serological tube test were collected. Preliminary ABO genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) or real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). PacBio third-generation sequencing (TGS) was then applied for full-length ABO gene sequencing and haplotype analysis for all samples. Results: A total of 46 haplotype sequences containing single nucleotide variants (SNVs) of ABO alleles were obtained from 23 samples by TGS. Common known ABO alleles were identified including ABO A1.02, ABO B.01, ABO O.01.01, ABO O.01.02 and ABO O.01.02. Known ABO subtype alleles included ABO A2.01, ABO AW.37, ABO AW.25, ABO AW.06, ABO B3.01, ABO BW.07 and ABO BW34. Three novel ABO alleles were identified: ABO A2. NEW(c.1040_1041insA), ABO B. NEW(c.949A>G) and ABO B. NEW(c.1029G>A), all of which have been deposited and released in NCBI GenBank. Conclusion: Third-generation sequencing can accurately obtain the complete sequence of ABO gene and distinguish haplotypes. This study elucidates the molecular genetic background of 23 ABO subtypes, providing a reference for accurate blood group typing and ensuring transfusion safety.

Objective To analyze personal external exposure dose monitoring results of pet hospital radiation workers in Beijing from 2022 to 2024, and to provide scientific evidence for developing effective monitoring protocols, standardizing radiological practices in pet hospitals, and protecting the health of both workers and the public. Methods Personal dose equivalents, H_p(10), were measured using GR-200A thermoluminescent dosimeters. Monitoring included radiation workers at 286 pet hospitals across all 16 districts of Beijing from 2022 to 2024. Each monitoring cycle lasted no more than 90 days. Annual effective doses were calculated by summing the results of four consecutive quarterly cycles. Data were processed and analyzed using Access and TLPS 6.41 software. All evaluations complied with national laws, regulations, and technical standards. Results A total of 1,579 person-time measurements were recorded. Only 51.87% of workers completed the full four-cycle annual monitoring schedule. Over the study period, the mean annual effective dose was 0.29 mSv, and the median dose was 0.14 mSv. The collective effective dose was 238.34 man-mSv. Notably, 94.26% of workers had annual effective doses below 1.0 mSv, and only 0.12% had doses at or above 5 mSv. Dose levels showed a statistically significant downward trend (P<0.05). Both independent and chain-branded clinics had a median annual effective dose of 0.14 mSv. In independent clinics, the proportion of workers with doses below 1.0 mSv increased from 80.77% in 2022 to 98.82% in 2024. In chain-branded clinics, this proportion rose from 96.88% to 98.11% over the same period. Conclusion Radiation exposure among pet hospital workers in Beijing remains at low levels, well below regulatory limits, and shows an overall declining trend. The disparity in personal doses between independent and chain-branded pet hospitals has diminished over time. Nevertheless, the industry still faces challenges such as high staff turnover and low monitoring completion rates. Expanding monitoring coverage and harmonizing protection standards would provide a scientific basis for precise, nationwide regulation.

Due to the wide variety and varying quality of medical wound dressings, as well as the current lack of unified national or industry standards for regulation, this paper proposes a research strategy for establishing a quality evaluation system for medical wound dressings‌. By developing a technical roadmap, this strategy clarifies the process flow and key points in the quality evaluation process, establishes evaluation methods for various types of medical wound dressings, and addresses important issues such as how to determine key performance indicators based on product characteristics and how to research and validate test methods for key items. This provides a detailed and feasible research strategy and evaluation method for medical wound dressing manufacturers, testing institutions, and regulatory authorities.

Posterior capsule opacification(PCO)is a common postoperative complication of cataract surgery, primarily caused by the proliferation and migration of residual lens epithelial cells(LECs). Although neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet(Nd:YAG)laser posterior capsulotomy effectively treats PCO, it carries risks of complications such as cystoid macular edema(CME). Thus, preventing PCO formation is of critical clinical importance. Despite advancements in intraocular lens(IOL)materials and designs, achieving complete PCO eradication remains challenging. This review systematically examines recent advancements in surface-modified IOLs, including anti-biofouling IOL(reducing LECs adhesion), capsular adhesion-enhanced IOL(promoting capsular bag integration), micro-patterned IOL(physically inhibiting migration), photothermal/photodynamic IOL(inducing light-activated LECs apoptosis), and drug-eluting IOL(sustained drug release). These surface modification strategies demonstrate synergistic effects through complementary mechanisms(including physical barrier formation, chemical intervention, and bioactive regulation), effectively suppressing LECs proliferation while significantly reducing PCO incidence. Importantly, these approaches eliminate the risks associated with conventional Nd:YAG laser treatment, offering substantial advantages. By providing a comprehensive evaluation of these cutting-edge technologies, this review serves as a valuable reference for IOL design optimization. It represents a paradigm shift in cataract management strategies, transitioning from reactive therapeutic interventions to proactive preventive measures, and ultimately leads to improving long-term visual outcomes for patients.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of different volumes of ropivacaine for iliopsoas muscle plane block on quadriceps strength in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.Methods:In this prospective study, 75 patients of either sex, aged 40-80 yr, with a body mass index of 18.5-30.0 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ-Ⅲ, undergoing elective hip arthroplasty from June to December 2023 at Baoding First Central Hospital, were randomized into 3 groups ( n=25 each) by using a computer-generated randomization sequence: ropivacaine 5 ml group (group Ⅰ), ropivacaine 10 ml group (group Ⅱ), and ropivacaine 15 ml group (group Ⅲ). Before induction of anesthesia, iliopsoas muscle plane block was performed with 0.5% ropivacaine 5, 10 and 15 ml in Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups, respectively. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block was carried out using 0.5% ropivacaine 5 ml in all the three groups. The quadriceps muscle strength and status of quadriceps motor block in the affected limb were assessed on admission to postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and at 2, 4, 6, 24 and 48 h after surgery. The consumption of dezocine, score for patient′s satisfaction with analgesia, and occurrence of complications were recorded. Results:Compared with group Ⅰ, the quadriceps muscle strength scores were significantly decreased on admission to PACU and at 2, 4 and 6 h postoperatively in group Ⅲ, the rate of quadriceps motor block was significantly increased on admission to PACU in group Ⅱ, and the rate of quadriceps motor block was significantly increased on admission to PACU and at 2 and 4 h postoperatively in group Ⅲ ( P<0.05), and the consumption of dezocine was significantly decreased in group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The recommended volume of ropivacaine for iliopsoas plane block is 10 ml in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of remimazolam-based anesthesia in daytime laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods:In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial, 300 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of either sex, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, who underwent daytime laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Jinhua Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou First People′s Hospital Affiliated to Westlake University School of Medicine, Ningbo No. 2 Hospital, and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from August 2021 to August 2023, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=150 each) using a random number table method: remimazolam group (R group) and propofol group (P group). Anesthesia was induced as follows: Sufentanil was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.5 μg/kg, remimazolam was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.3 mg/kg in group R, propofol was intravenously injected at a rate of 2.0-2.5 mg/kg in group P, and cisatracurium besilate was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.2 mg/kg after loss of consciousness in two groups. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintained as follows: Remimazolam was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.5-1.0 mg·kg -1·h -1 in group R, propofol was intravenously injected at a rate of 4-10 mg·kg -1·h -1 in group P, and remifentanil was intravenously infused at a rate of 0.25-2.00 μg·kg -1·min -1, maintaining intraoperative bispectral index value of 40-60. The success rate of sedation was recorded, and non-inferiority tests were conducted. The time to loss of consciousness, emergence time, extubation time, recovery time of orientation, time of stay in post-anesthesia care unit and occurrence of delayed emergence were recorded. Liver function and renal function were measured before operation and within 24 h after operation. The occurrence of abnormal alanine transaminase, abnormal aspartate transaminase, abnormal creatinine and abnormal urea was recorded. The occurrence of adverse reactions during and after operation was recorded. Results:The success rates of sedation were 98.6% and 99.3% in group R and group P, respectively, there was no statistically significant difference in the success rate of sedation between the two groups ( P>0.05), and the difference in the success rates of sedation between the two groups was -0.007 (95% confidence interval-0.0301-0.0161), which met the pre-set non-inferiority criteria(95% confidence interval >-0.055). Compared with group P, the time to loss of consciousness and recovery time of orientation were significantly prolonged, and the incidence of delayed emergence was increased ( P<0.05), and no statistically significant changes were found in the emergence time, extubation time, time of stay in post-anesthesia care unit and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting in group R ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rates of alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, creatinine and urea before and after operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of remimazolam-based anesthesia in daytime laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not inferior to that of propofol-based anesthesia.

Objective:To understand the occurrence of different patterns of multimorbidity among children and adolescents aged 9-18 in Tianjin City and analyze the cumulative effects of lifestyle on these patterns of multimorbidity.Methods:From September to November 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select students from primary schools, junior high schools, general high schools, and vocational schools in 16 districts of Tianjin to screen for height, weight, blood pressure, distant vision, and diopter. One year later, a follow-up measurement and questionnaire survey were conducted. The log-binomial model was used to analyze the strength of the association between lifestyle factors and different patterns of multimorbidity.Results:The age of 9 488 students was (12.37±2.49) years old, including 4 999 boys and 4 489 girls. The detection rates of three patterns of multimorbidity of overweight obesity and high blood pressure, overweight obesity and myopia, and overweight obesity with high blood pressure and myopia were 6.63%, 9.32%, and 4.21%, respectively. The detection rates of the three types of multimorbidity in boys were higher than those in girls (all P<0.001). The detection rate of overweight obesity and high blood pressure in suburban areas was higher than that in urban areas ( P=0.002). The detection rate of overweight obesity and myopia in suburban areas was lower than that in urban areas ( P=0.034). The detection rate of overweight obesity and myopia among those aged 9-12 years old was higher than other age groups (all P<0.001). The ARR (95% CI) for the association between favorable physical activity and the occurrence of overweight obesity and high blood pressure was 0.79 (0.68-0.92). The ARR (95% CI) for the association between favorable physical activity and the occurrence of overweight obesity with high blood pressure and myopia was 0.82 (0.67-0.99). Compared with children and adolescents with 0-2 favorable lifestyle factors, those with 4-5 favorable lifestyle factors had a lower risk of overweight obesity and high blood pressure ( ARR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.59-0.92). Conclusion:Boys aged 9-18 in Tianjin City are more prone to multimorbidity of overweight obesity and high blood pressure, overweight obesity and myopia, and overweight obesity with high blood pressure and myopia. Children and adolescents with 4-5 favorable lifestyle factors have a reduced risk of occurrence of overweight obesity and high blood pressure. Lifestyle has cumulative effects on multimorbidity of overweight obesity and high blood pressure.

Objective:To analyze the gene mutations of 18 patients with plasminogen (PLG) deficiency and to explore the clinical manifestations caused by PLG gene mutations.Methods:This study belongs to observational study-descriptive study: case series.Clinical data from 18 patients with PLG deficiency admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 1st, 2021 to May 31st, 2025 were collected. The age ranged from 16 to 70 years old, with an average of 48 years old. Among them, there were 10 males and 8 females. Anticoagulant blood samples were taken before treatment to measure and analyze plasminogen activity (PLG:A), plasminogen antigen (PLG:Ag), protein C activity, protein S activity, fibrinogen, antithrombin activity, D-dimer, and fibrin (fibrinogen) degradation products. PCR direct sequencing was used to analyze the 19 exons and flanking sequences of the PLG gene in these patients, and reverse sequencing was employed to verify the suspected mutations.Results:For the 18 patients, cranial MRI showed fresh cerebral infarction lesions, and PLG:A levels ranged from 19% to 67%, while no other lab indicators showed significant abnormalities, all presenting with dysplasminogenemia. Genetic analysis revealed five types of PLG gene mutations: c.1858G>A (p.Ala620Thr) heterozygous mutation, c.1858G>A (p.Ala620Thr) homozygous mutation, c.398A>G (p.His133Arg) heterozygous mutation, c.2108G>A (p.Gly703Asp) heterozygous mutation, and c.1702G>A (p.Gly568Arg) heterozygous mutation. Among the above, the c.1858G>A heterozygous mutation was the most common, and c.398A>G and c.1702G>A were identified for the first time.Conclusion:Patients with plasminogen deficiency caused by PLG gene defects are prone to occur cerebral infarction events, which may be related to impaired fibrinolytic function due to PLG gene mutations.

Objective To analyze the ecological suitability of Codonopsis pilosula;To provide theoretical reference for expanding the planting scale of Codonopsis pilosula in Shanxi Province.Methods Information on the distribution of Codonopsis pilosula samples through the fourth survey of TCM resources in Shanxi Province and literature review;the MaxEnt model and ArcGIS 10.8 geographic information system software were used to analyze the ecological factors affecting the distribution of Codonopsis Radix in Shanxi Province,and the suitable distribution areas of Codonopsis pilosula in Shanxi Province were predicted.Results The predicted distribution areas of Codonopsis pilosula in Shanxi Province by the model were highly consistent with the actual distribution area;the AUC of the training set was 0.945,indicating good prediction results.The predominant ecological factors(contributing)impacting the distribution of Codonopsis pilosula included vegetation type(31.1%),the standard deviation of seasonal temperature fluctuations(25.0%),slope(8.3%),mean January precipitation(5.3%),mean May precipitation(5.0%),and elevation(4.9%)etc.The optimal vegetation types conducive to the proliferation of Codonopsis pilosula were identified as temperate deciduous shrubs,temperate grasslands,temperate coniferous forests,and temperate deciduous broad-leaved forests.The standard deviation of seasonal temperature change was within the range of 92 to 108,the slope gradient was from 14° to 30°,mean January precipitation was of 4 to 6.8 mm,mean May precipitation was of 33.5 to 58 mm,and elevation ranged from 1 100 to 2 800 meters.Codonopsis pilosula was mainly distributed in Lucheng,Qinxian and Qinyuan counties in the eastern part of Taiyue Mountain in Changzhi City;Pu County,Fenxi County,Fenyang City of Lyuliang City in the Lyuliang Mountain Range and Yushe County of Jinzhong City in the northern part of Taiyue Mountain.The most suitable area in Shanxi Province was 14 109.67 km2,the suitable area encompassed 22 837.62 km2,the relatively suitable area covered 41 982.96 km2,while the unsuitable area extended over 77 769.75 km2.Conclusion The geographical distribution data of Codonopsis pilosula resources in Shanxi Province may serve as a basis for further examination of regional zoning,with the establishment of wild cultivation bases for Codonopsis pilosula in proximity to various mountain ranges,such as the Taihang Mountains.Moreover,the artificial cultivation conditions can be modified in accordance with the optimal growth environment of Codonopsis pilosula,thereby optimizing the management of Codonopsis resources.

Objective: To explore the associations of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) among primary and secondary school students and their parents, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted physical activity promotion strategies for children and adolescents. Methods: From 2021 to 2022, basic information and 24 h movement behaviors of 2 484 pairs of students and their parents were collected from five primary and secondary schools in Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, with a convenient sampling combining with cluster sampling method. Component regression models were constructed to analyze the relationship between parental MVPA, SB and primary and secondary school students MVPA and SB, and a component isochronous substitution model was used to explore the effects of mutual substitution between parental MVPA, residual components (time use components other than SB during the 24 h period), and SB on the behavioral activities of MVPA and SB in primary and secondary school students. Results: Parental MVPA and SB of students in grade 1 to 3 were positively correlated with both students MVPA and SB ( β=0.06, 0.12, P <0.01). The component isochronous substitution model showed that substituting 10 and 20 minutes of MVPA for SB by parents in grade 1 to 3 was associated with an increase in MVPA of students, and substituting 10 and 20 minutes of residual ingredients for SB was associated with a decrease in SB of students, with mean changes of 0.8 (95% CI =0.4-1.2) and 1.4 (95% CI =0.7-2.2) and -1.4 (95% CI =-1.7 to -1.1) and -2.9 (95% CI =-3.4 to -2.3)( P <0.05). No statistically significant associations were observed between parents of students in grades 4 to 6 and 7 to 9 and students physical activity and sedentary behaviour ( P >0.05). Conclusions Parents of students in grades 1 to 3 increases MVPA and decrease SB are beneficial to increase MVPA and decrease SB of students. Parents could promote physical activity among primary and secondary school students, and the intervention gateway should be advanced, with the low grades as the optimal intervention period.
