Objective: To establish evidence-based, safe and efficient management of HIV-reactive blood donors by investigating safe and feasible assessment strategies for HIV-reactive blood donors based on routine blood screening data. Methods: The data of blood screening, supplementary testing, follow-up and CDC confirmation for HIV-reactive blood donors in our center from 2014 to 2024 were analyzed systematically to confirm HIV infection and identify infection status. Results: There were 1 235 samples (0.13%, 1 235/928 000) reactive in HIV blood screening over the 11-year period. A-mong them, 199 donors (16.11%) in asymptomatic HIV infection (HIV Ag/Ab++&HIV RNA+), 2(0.16%) as acute early HIV infection (HIV Ag/Ab+-&HIV RNA+) and 7(0.57%) as window-period infection (HIV RNA positive only) were confirmed. Donors with the result of HIV Ag/Ab+-&HIV RNA-(single-positive) were all excluded for HIV infection, while 1 in 6 HIV Ag/Ab++&HIV RNA-donors (double-positive) was confirmed to have HIV infection. When HIV Ag/Ab reagents were used continuously before and after the follow-up, it's observed in one reagent that the proportion of negative results in subsequent follow-up in single-positive donors who had negative results in the first sampling was significantly higher than the proportion of negative results in subsequent follow-up in those initially single-positive (P<0.05). But no significant difference was observed in another reagent (P>0.05). When reagents were changed in follow-up, the rate of singlepositive donors with negative results in the first sampling reached 96.7%, which was significantly higher than the negative rate of those without reagent changing in follow-up (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the serological and nucleic acid testing results of HIV blood screening, the confirmation of HIV infection and identification of infection status can be achieved accurately and efficiently. All HIV Ag/Ab+-&HIV RNA-donors were confirmed as false positive, and should be maintained their eligibilities for blood donation, but recommended to pass the retest before next donation. Using a different reagent for retesting helps improve the eligible rate. HIV Ag/Ab++&HIV RNA-donors should be deferred permanently due to the risk of true positivity.

Objective: To understand the correlation between autistic traits in children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) and their parental behaviors, so as to provide evidence for improving social behavior in children with ASD. Methods: A total of 62 children aged 4-7 years diagnosed with ASD at Guangdong Provincial Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital and Guangzhou Yuexiu District Children s Hospital from October 2021 to May 2025 were selected as the ASD group. A random number table method was used to select 62 healthy children of the same age from 3 ordinary kindergartens in Guangzhou as the control (typically developing,TD) group. The Parental Behavior Inventory and Social Responsiveness Scale were used to evaluate parental behaviors and autistic traits in both groups. The t-test and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between autistic traits in children with ASD and parental behaviors. Results: Compared with the TD group, the ASD group had significantly higher scores in social awareness, social cognition, social communication, social motivation, autistic behavior patterns, and the total score of social responsiveness, with statistically significant differences ( t =35.83, 46.17, 64.36, 41.45, 49.46,101.15, all P <0.01). The score of parental support/participation in the ASD group (24.61±4.30) was lower than that in the TD group (31.27±4.58), while the score of parental hostility/coercion in the ASD group (25.51±2.72) was higher than that in the TD group (12.75±2.72), with statistically significant differences ( t = -8.34, 26.14, both P <0.01). The total score of the Social Responsiveness Scale was negatively correlated with the dimension score of parental support/participation behaviors, and positively correlated with the dimension score of parental hostility/coercion behaviors ( r =-0.60, 0.91,both P <0.05). After adjusting for covariates such as children s age, gender, and primary caregiver, ASD children with exclusive breastfeeding ( β =-8.79) and parental support/participation behaviors ( β = -0.79 ) had a lower risk of autistic traits, while children with parental hostility/coercion behaviors ( β =4.62) had a higher risk of autistic traits (all P <0.05). Conclusion Autistic traits in children with ASD may be related to their parental behaviors and early feeding mode.

Farrerol is a dihydroflavone compound extracted from the dried leaves of Rhododendron dauricum belonging to the Ericaceae family. This article systematically reviews relevant research on farrerol both domestically and internationally， summarizes its pharmacological activities and mechanisms of action， and finds that it exerts cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective effects by maintaining the homeostasis of vascular endothelial function and inhibiting vascular intimal hyperplasia； exerts renal protective effects by activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） signaling pathway to reduce renal damage； exerts liver protective effects by inhibiting the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway， activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway， improving insulin resistance， and reducing lipid deposition in the liver； exerts neuroprotective effects by activating the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway， inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4 and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase/stimulator of interferon genes signaling pathways to reduce neuroinflammatory damage； exerts bone protective effects by promoting tendon formation and inhibiting osteoclast differentiation； exerts antitumor effects by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and weakening tumor cell invasion and metastasis； and exerts antibacterial effects by downregulating α -toxin expression， interfering with β -lactamase/penicillin-binding protein 2a （PBP2a）， and inhibiting PBP2a oligomerization. Currently， research on the pharmacological effects of farrerol is still mainly focused on animal and cell experiments. Further mechanistic studies and clinical trials are needed to provide theoretical basis for its new drug development and clinical application.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism by which Guizhi Fulingwan （GFW） inhibits ferroptosis in endometriosis （EMT） through the regulation of the hypoxia inducible factor-1α/heme oxygenase 1 （HIF-1α/HO-1） signaling pathway. MethodsMachine learning was employed to identify ferroptosis-related biomarkers associated with EMT. Network pharmacology was utilized to identify the active components of GFW and its potential therapeutic targets against EMT， including core targets. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted to explore the biological processes， molecular functions， cellular components， and signaling pathways associated with the potential targets. An EMT rat model was established via autologous transplantation. Thirty female Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into five groups： sham-operated， model， positive control （dienogest at 0.2 mg·kg^-1）， low-dose GFW （2.5 g·kg^-1）， and high-dose GFW （5 g·kg^-1）. After modeling， the rats received their respective treatment by oral gavage for 28 consecutive days， while the sham and model groups received equal volumes of distilled water. Serum and ectopic endometrial tissues were collected. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was employed to evaluate morphological alterations in ectopic lesions. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were conducted to assess mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α， HO-1， glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase （SAT1）， and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 （PTGS2）. Tissue levels of malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）， and ferrous iron （Fe²⁺） were quantified using commercial assay kits. Serum levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6） and transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁） were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultsFive ferroptosis-related biomarkers in EMT were identified： ALOX12， CHAC1， SAT1， AST1， and HO-1. Network pharmacology analysis revealed 42 active components of GFW and 192 potential therapeutic target genes related to EMT treatment， with FOS， JUN， HO-1 identified as core targets. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that the potential targets were primarily involved in oxidative stress response and reactive oxygen species metabolism and were enriched in the HIF-1 signaling pathway. Compared to the sham-operated group， the model group exhibited significant increases in both mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α， HO-1， and PTGS2， as well as elevated tissue levels of Fe²⁺ and MDA. Conversely， GSH levels and the expression of GPX4 and SAT1 were markedly reduced， and serum levels of IL-6 and TGF-β₁ levels were significantly higher （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all GFW-treated groups showed significant downregulation of HIF-1α and HO-1， reduced Fe²⁺ levels， and downregulated expression of MDA， PTGS2， IL-6， and TGF-β₁. Meanwhile， GSH， GPX4， and SAT1 expression levels were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， effectively ameliorating iron overload and oxidative stress， thereby demonstrating therapeutic efficacy in EMT， with the high-dose GFW demonstrating the most pronounced therapeutic effects. ConclusionGFW exerts therapeutic effects on endometriosis by regulating the HIF-1α/HO-1 signaling pathway to rectify iron metabolism disorders and attenuate free iron-induced oxidative damage. It upregulates the antioxidative defense system to inhibit lipid peroxidation cascades and modulates inflammatory cytokine networks. These effects collectively disrupt the pathological interaction between ferroptosis and chronic inflammation， providing a novel theoretical foundation for the clinical application of GFW in EMT treatment.

This paper summarized the clinical experience of Prof. LI Diangui in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease （GERD） based on the theory of turbidity-toxin in liver. It is believed that internal accumulation of turbidity-toxin and liver depression with stomach counterflow are the main pathogenesis of GERD， and thus the therapeutic methods of resolving turbidity and resolving toxins， regulating the liver and harmonizing the stomach are proposed. In clinical practice， GERD is divided into the early stage， middle stage and late stage. For the early stage， the modified Huazhuo Shugan Hewei Formula （化浊疏肝和胃方） is used to regulate qi and remove turbidity， soothe the liver and harmonize the stomach； for the middle stage， the modified Huazhuo Qingre Zhisuan Formula （化浊清热制酸方） is applied to clear heat， direct the turbid downward， and resolve toxins； for the late stage， the modified Yiwei Decoction （益胃汤） is adopted to replenish qi， nourish yin and simultaneously resolve turbidity-toxin. Throughout the treatment process， attention should be paid to protecting the spleen and stomach， and the medication could be modified according to changes of individual condition.

Objective To verify the accuracy of Youssef's formula and evaluate whether fetal biacromial diameter(BA)and other fetal biological diameters estimated by ultrasound can be used to predict macrosomia and shoulder dystocia,so as to provide the possibility for clinical prediction of shoulder dystocia.Methods A total of 200 pregnant women with a gestational period of 37-42 weeks were examined with ultrasound within 3 days before delivery for collecting biparietal diameter(BPD),head circumference(HC),abdominal circumference(AC),humerus length(HL),femur length(FL),thoracic transverse diameter and midpoint diameter of upper arm;and the fetal BA was estimated by Youssef's formula.Neonatal BA,body mass and body length were measured within 1 day after delivery.The above data were analyzed for correlation.Newborns were grouped according to their body mass(macrosomia vs non-macrosomia)and whether they had shoulder dystocia or not(shoulder dystocia vs non-shoulder dystocia).Results(1)The fetal BA estimated by Youssef's formula was consistent with neonatal BA(P>0.05),and the estimated BA was positively correlated with BPD,HC,AC and neonatal body mass(P<0.001).(2)The BA,BA/AC and BA/HC in macrosomia group were different from those in non-macrosomia group(P<0.05).ROC curve showed that the sensitivity and specificity were 92.3%and 88.2%for macrosomia prediction when the estimated BA threshold was 16.05 cm,and those were 61.5%and 77.0%when BA/AC threshold was 0.455,and 76.9%and 72.7%when BA/HC threshold was 0.465.(3)Shoulder dystocia group had neonatal weight close to non-shoulder dystocia group(P>0.05),but higher BA/BPD,BA/HC and BA-BPD(P<0.05).ROC curve showed that the sensitivity and specificity were 100.0%and 66.8%for shoulder dystocia when BA threshold was 15.45 cm,100.0%and 80.6%when BA/BPD threshold was 1.695,100.0%and 81.6%when BA/HC threshold was 0.475,and 100.0%and 76.0%when the threshold difference between BA and BPD was 6.35 cm.Conclusion Fetal BA,BA/BPD,BA/HC,BA/AC and BA-BPD may be effective predictors of shoulder dystocia and macrosomia.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Wenjing Decoction in treating endometriosis(EMT)using bioinformatics methods and in vitro experiments.Methods The active components and corresponding targets of Wenjing Decoction were obtained from the TCMSP database,while EMT-related targets were identified using the GEO database.Functional enrichment analysis was conducted on the targets to predict core targets for treating EMT with Wenjing Decoction.Molecular docking was performed on core targets-drug ligands,and in vitro experiments validated the findings.Results Through screening the TCMSP database,117 active components of Wenjing Decoction were identified,corresponding to 248 targets;5 312 EMT-related differential genes were gathered from GEO database,identifying 97 potential targets of Wenjing Decoction for treating EMT,with core targets being IL6,TNF and EGFR.Functional enrichment analysis of EMT differential genes showed enrichment in pathways such as neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,MAPK signaling pathway,endocytosis,calcium signaling pathway,autophagy and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.Molecular docking showed that IL6,TNF,EGFR bind stably to their corresponding drug ligands.In vitro experiments indicated that Wenjing Decoction could inhibit the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway,promote LC3 Ⅰ to LC3 Ⅱ conversion,enhance the expression of Beclin-1,and reduce P62 expression.Moreover,Wenjing Decoction could hinder the expression of the endometriosis-specific biomarker CA125,decrease EGFR,IL-6 and TNF-α expressions in ectopic endothelial cells,inhibiting proliferation.Conclusion Wenjing Decoction can treat EMT through multiple pathways and targets,with the key mechanism being the reversal of autophagy inhibition via down-regulating of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
