Blood standardization is a crucial means of promoting the healthy and sustainable development of China's blood industry. The construction of a blood standard system serves as the foundational work for blood standardization. To facilitate the continuous improvement of blood standardization efforts, this paper begins by describing the current status and analyzing the issues within China's blood standard system. Through systematic research, it proposes a framework for constructing a blood standard system and offers revision recommendations for its enhancement. Based on the first five editions of the blood standard system developed by Sub-Committee of Blood Standards of National Committee of Health Standards, this study further refines the revision and detailed construction of the standards framework—the primary task in establishing the blood standard system. It provides specific guidance for both the construction and application of the blood standard system. This work serves as a reference and basis for the reasonable and standardized formulation and revision of blood standards, as well as for the management and implementation of blood standardization efforts.

Objective:To investigate the neuroprotective effect of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation(nVNS)on traumatic brain injury(TBI).Methods:Male SD rats were used to prepare controlled cortical impact(CCI)rat mod-el.nVNS treatment was performed.The motor function of rats was detected by beam walking test.The water content of rats was evaluated by the dry-wet ratio of rat brain tissue.The content of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)in cerebrospinal fluid was detected by commercial kit.The expression of bain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and nerve growth fac-tor(NGF)mRNA in rat cortex was detected by RT-qPCR.Results:After nVNS stimulation,CCI rats significantly im-proved the neurological function deficit,improved the motor ability,decreased the cerebral water content,decreased the level of LDH in cerebrospinal fluid,and upregulated the expression of BDNF and NGF mRNA in cortex.Conclusion:nVNS has a neuroprotective effect on TBI rats,and its mechanism may be related to the increased expression of BDNF and NGF.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

Objective:To discuss the regulatory role of complement alternative pathway in mouse colorectal cancer(CRC)liver metastasis model based on bioinformatics methods,and to clarify its mechanism through experimental verification.Methods:Using"CRC liver metastasis"as the keyword,the GSE81558 dataset was retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,including normal colon tissue samples,CRC tissue samples and CRC liver metastasis tissue samples.Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze and screen differentially expressed genes(DEGs).Gene Ontology(GO)functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis were performed using R and Cytoscape software,and the results were visualized.Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins(STRING)database was used to evaluate protein-protein interactions(PPIs)of DEGs and construct PPI network.Twelve C57BL/6 mice were injected with SL4 tumor cells into spleen,and the liver tissues were collected at 0,7 and 14 d.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the expression levels of complement pathway-related genes in liver metastatic foci.The CRC liver metastasis mouse model was used to verify the complement signaling pathway.The mice were divided into control group,factor B knockout group(FB-/-)and C4 factor knockout group(C4-/-),and there were 6 mice in each group.The liver weights of the mice were measured;HE staining was used to detect the percentage of metastatic area in liver tissue in control group and FB-/-group;immunohistochemistry was used to detect macrophage infiltration in liver tissue in control group and FB-/-group,and the percentage of macrophage infiltration was calculated.Results:The distances between normal colon tissue samples and CRC tissue samples,as well as between CRC tissue samples and CRC liver metastasis tissue samples were far,indicating significant differences between samples,allowing subsequent analysis of DEGs.A total of 1 908 DEGs were screened in the dataset comparing normal colon tissue samples and CRC tissue samples,including 771 up-regulated DEGs and 1 137 down-regulated DEGs.Twenty-three up-regulated DEGs and 100 down-regulated DEGs were identified in the dataset comparing CRC and CRC liver metastasis.The GO functional enrichment analysis results showed that compared with normal colon tissue samples,DEGs in CRC samples were mainly enriched in biological processes(BP)related to cell cycle and mitosis,including mitotic cell cycle process,cell division,response to hormone,mitotic nuclear division and response to lipid.Compared with CRC samples,the DEGs in CRC liver metastasis samples were mainly enriched in coagulation-related BP,including platelet degranulation,blood coagulation regulation,acute-phase response,hemostasis regulation and coagulation regulation.The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis results showed that compared with normal colon tissue samples,the DEGs in CRC tissue samples were mainly enriched in cell cycle and p53 signaling pathways.Compared with CRC tissue samples,the DEGs in CRC liver metastasis tissue samples were mainly enriched in complement,coagulation cascade and metabolism-related signaling pathways.The Hub genes identified in PPI network were related to blood proteins.The RT-qPCR results showed that compared with 0 d group,the mRNA expression level of complement related genes complement 1q(C1q)in liver metastatic foci tissue sampres in 7 d group was significantly decreased(P<0.05),the mRNA expression levels of complement 3(C3),complement 5(C5),FB,and factor D(FD)were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),the mRNA expression levels of complement pathway-related genes C1q,complement 2(C2),C3,complement fragment 3a receptor(C3aR),C5,complement fragment 5a receptor(C5aR),decay-accelerating factor(DAF),FB and FD in liver metastatic foci tissue sampres in 14 d group were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Compared with control group,the liver weight of the mice in FB-/-group was significantly decreased(P<0.01),while there was no significant difference was observed in C4-/-group(P>0.05).The HE staining results showed that compared with control group,the liver metastatic foci in FB-/-mice were significantly decreased,and the percentage of metastatic area was decreased(P<0.01).The immunohistochemistry results showed that compared with control group,the macrophage infiltration in liver metastatic foci of the mice in FB-/-group was reduced,and the percentage of macrophage infiltration was decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion:Complement cascade is associated with CRC liver metastasis,and the alternative complement pathway regulates CRC liver metastasis,suggesting this pathway may serve as a potential therapeutic target for CRC liver metastasis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with high-myopia macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) combined with choroidal detachment and to preliminarily analyze factors associated with postoperative hole closure.Methods:A retrospective clinical case series study. A total of 68 patients with high myopia (68 eyes) with MHRD diagnosed by Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University People’s Hospital from January 2019 to April 2024 were included in this study. Among them, there were 14 males (14 eyes) and 54 females (54 eyes). The mean age was (61.10±9.66) years. All eyes were treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with silicone oil or gas filling. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, and B-mode ultrasonography were performed. The BCVA test was performed using the Snellen visual acuity chart, which was statistically converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity. The range of choroidal detachment was defined according to the number of involved quadrants observed in B-mode ultrasound or surgery, which was divided into 1 to 4 quadrants. Axial length (AL) was measured under retinal reattachment. In 68 eyes, there were 17 eyes with choroidal detachment and 51 eyes without choroidal detachment, respectively. There were 17 eyes with choroidal detachment, and the detachment range involved 1, 2, 2 and 12 eyes in 1, 2, 3 and 4 quadrants, respectively. During operation, 13% C 3F 8 was filled in 2 eyes, all of which were not complicated with choroidal detachment. 66 eyes were filled with silicone oil. According to whether the patients were complicated with choroidal detachment, the patients were divided into the group without choroidal detachment and the group with choroidal detachment. Independent sample t test, Welch two-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test were used for comparison between groups. Generalized linear regression and logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between the aperture size of postoperative unclosed holes and the closed hole after surgery and clinical factors. Results:At 3 months after surgery, the logMAR BCVA of the affected eye was 1.29±0.43, with a preoperative to postoperative difference ranging from -1.60 to 0.70 (-0.51±0.51) logMAR units. The AL ranged from 26.6 to 34.3 (29.60±2.12) mm. Among 68 eyes, macular hole of 37 (54.4%, 37/68) eyes were open and 31 (45.6%, 31/68) eyes were closed, respectively. The hole diameter of the open eye was (753±424) μm. There was no significant difference in age, course of disease and AL between the two groups ( W=412.0, 477.5, 427.0; P>0.05). Before operation, BCVA in patients with choroidal detachment was worse ( W=257.5) and intraocular pressure was lower ( t=4.051) in patients with choroidal detachment compared with those without choroidal detachment, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). At 3 months after surgery, BCVA in patients with choroidal detachment was significantly worse than that in patients without choroidal detachment, with statistical significance ( W=284.0, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in logMAR BCVA difference ( t=0.616) and macular hole closure rate ( χ 2=0.000) before and after surgery ( P>0.05). The reoperation rate of retinal detachment due to persistent or recurrent retinal detachment was significantly higher in the group with choroid detachment than in the group without choroid detachment, and the difference was statistically significant (odds ratio=6.424, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that young age was significantly correlated with macular hole closure failure after surgery ( β=0.077, P=0.015). There was no correlation between AL, duration of disease, BCVA before surgery, intraocular pressure, wether combined with choroid detachment range and postoperative hole closure ( β=-0.072, 0.000, 0.672, -0.085, -0.391; P>0.05). Conclusions:Concomitant choroidal detachment adversely affected on both pre-operative and post-operative visual acuity in high myopia MHRD. It is closely associated with the risk of recurrent retinal detachment and the needs of multiple operations, but has no significant effect on hole closure rate. Lower age of onset may be a risk factor for macular hole closure.

PURPOSE: To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of bone loss in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Patients with SCI in our hospital from January 2019 to March 2023 were collected. According to the correlation between bone mineral density (BMD) at different sites, the patients were divided into the lumbar spine group and the hip joint group. According to the BMD value, the patients were divided into the normal bone mass group (t > -1.0 standard deviation) and the osteopenia group (t ≤ -1.0 standard deviation). The influencing factors accumulated as follows: gender, age, height, weight, cause of injury, injury segment, injury degree, time after injury, start time of rehabilitation, motor score, sensory score, spasticity, serum value of alkaline phosphatase, calcium, and phosphorus. The trend chart was drawn and the influencing factors were analyzed. SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis. Correlation analysis was used to test the correlation between the BMD values of the lumbar spine and bilateral hips. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of osteoporosis after SCI. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The incidence of bone loss in patients with SCI was 66.3%. There was a low concordance between bone loss in the lumbar spine and the hip, and the hip was particularly susceptible to bone loss after SCI, with an upward trend in incidence (36% - 82%). In this study, patients with SCI were divided into the lumbar spine group (n = 100) and the hip group (n = 185) according to the BMD values of different sites. Then, the lumbar spine group was divided into the normal bone mass group (n = 53) and the osteopenia group (n = 47); the hip joint group was divided into the normal bone mass group (n = 83) and the osteopenia group (n = 102). Of these, lumbar bone loss after SCI is correlated with gender and weight (p = 0.032 and < 0.001, respectively), and hip bone loss is correlated with gender, height, weight, and time since injury (p < 0.001, p = 0.015, 0.009, and 0.012, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of bone loss after SCI was high, especially in the hip. The incidence and influencing factors of bone loss in the lumbar spine and hip were different. Patients with SCI who are male, low height, lightweight, and long time after injury were more likely to have bone loss.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

BACKGROUND: It is inaccurate to reflect the level of dust exposure through working years. Furthermore, identifying a predictive indicator for lung function decline is significant for coal miners. The study aimed to explored whether club cell secretory protein (CC16) levels can reflect early lung function changes. METHODS: The cumulative respiratory dust exposure (CDE) levels of 1,461 coal miners were retrospectively assessed by constructed a job-exposure matrix to replace working years. Important factors affecting lung function and CC16 were selected by establishing random forest models. Subsequently, the potential of CC16 to reflect lung injury was explored from multiple perspectives. First, restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to compare the trends of changes in lung function indicators and plasma CC16 levels after dust exposure. Then mediating analysis was performed to investigate the role of CC16 in the association between dust exposure and lung function decline. Finally, the association between baseline CC16 levels and follow-up lung function was explored. RESULTS: The median CDE were 35.13 mg/m³-years. RCS models revealed a rapid decline in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV₁), and their percentages of predicted values when CDE exceeded 25 mg/m³-years. The dust exposure level (<5 mg/m³-years) causing significant changes in CC16 was much lower than the level (25 mg/m³-years) that caused changes in lung function indicators. CC16 mediated 11.1% to 26.0% of dust-related lung function decline. Additionally, workers with low baseline CC16 levels experienced greater reductions in lung function in the future. CONCLUSIONS CC16 levels are more sensitive than lung indicators in reflecting early lung function injury and plays mediating role in lung function decline induced by dust exposure. Low baseline CC16 levels predict poor future lung function.
