Research has confirmed that compared to traditional room temperature-stored platelets [RTP, (22±2) ℃], cold-stored platelets (CSP, 1-6℃) extend the stored time by inhibiting bacterial proliferation, representing an important strategy to break through the bottleneck of platelet storage. However, the low temperature environment induces significant changes in platelet morphology, metabolism and function. The morphological changes and surface marker changes together lead to functional impairment, which in turn affect its hemostatic efficacy. In recent years, research on metabolomics, apoptosis mechanisms, and innovative preservation strategies and technologies has provided new perspectives for intensive analysis of the damage mechanisms of CSP. This review summarizes the changes in CSP performance, active components, and damage mechanisms, explores the research progress in preservation solutions and methods, and combines them with the current clinical application status. The aim is to provide a theoretical basis for intensive analysis of CSP performance changes and optimization of platelet storage strategies, and promote the application of CSP based on its functional characteristics in emergency treatment of active bleeding patients in China.

The walking blood bank (WBB) is a pool of donors available "on call" to donate whole blood (WB) in emergency situations. It can provide sufficient blood resources in a timely manner during shortages, and can simultaneously meet the demand for various blood components such as red blood cells, platelets and plasma. Currently, WBB has been implemented in both military and/or civilian contexts in many Western countries, with satisfactory outcomes. This article summarizes the necessity of WBB, the screening of blood donors, management and maintenance, as well as logistics and other situations, in order to provide certain references for the establishment and development of WBB in China.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors for carotid plaque formation in patients with essential hypertension(EH)with LASSO-Cox regression.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 325 patients with new-onset hypertension admitted to the First Affiliated Hos-pital of Zhengzhou University from March 2020 to March 2021.Among them,308 completed a fol-low-up of 2-year,and then according to carotid plaque occurred or not(the carotid intima-media thickness≥1.5 mm),they were divided into in the occurrence group(85 cases)and non-occur-rence group(223 cases).Clinical data and circular RNA expression level were compared between the two groups.LASSO regression model was used to screen out the predictors of carotid plaque formation,and Cox regression model was employed to explore the influencing factors of the for-mation.Results The occurrence group had significantly advanced age,higher body mass index and CIMT,larger proportion of diabetes mellitus,and elevated serum uric acid and homocysteine(Hey)levels,but lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)than the non-occurrence group(P＜0.01).In addition,the expression levels of has-circ-0105130,has-circ-0109569,has-circ-0072659,has-circ-0079586 and has-circ-0064684 were obviously higher in the occurrence group than the non-occurrence group(P＜0.01).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that has-circ-0109569 and Hcy were independent risk factors for carotid plaque formation(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and HDL-C was an independent protective factor(P＜0.01).The AUC value of for the combination of has-circ-0109569,HDL-C and Hcy in prediction of carotid artery plaques was 0.977(95％CI:0.953-0.991,P＜0.01).Conclusion High has-circ-0109569 and Hcy and low HDL-C levels are risk factors for carotid plaque formation in the EH patients.

Pancreatic duct stents are essential devices for managing chronic pancreatitis,ductal strictures,and postoperative fistula.Conventional plastic and metal stents effectively facilitate pancreatic drainage but often cause infection,restenosis,or migration upon long-term implantation.An ideal stent should provide excellent biocompatibility,efficient drainage,and controllable biodegradation.With advances in material science and medical-engineering integration,stent technology has evolved from inert implantation to intelligent degradation.Biodegradable polymers and metals,particularly magnesium alloys(Mg-Zn-Mn),offer tunable mechanical strength,corrosion resistance,and in vivo degradability.Mg-2Zn-1.0Mn alloy achieves balanced strength and corrosion control through compositional optimization and surface modification.Polymeric stents such as polylactic acid and polydioxanone demonstrate favorable drainage and avoid secondary removal.Composite biodegradable stents,exemplified by the multi-rate ARCHIMEDES model,have received international approval.Supported by 3D printing and smart functionalization-such as drug-eluting or shape-memory designs-next-generation pancreatic stents may achieve integrated functions of support,repair,and tumor inhibition.Future research should emphasize interdisciplinary material design,degradation kinetics under physiological conditions,and long-term biocompatibility to accelerate clinical translation.
