Objective: To analyze the implementation status of the “Three-Exemptions” policy for voluntary blood donation in China by taking Shandong Province as a case study, explore the sociodemographic characteristics of policy beneficiaries and the distribution differences in blood donation frequencies, so as to provide practical references for improving the honor incentive system of voluntary blood donation and stabilizing the blood donation team. Methods: Excel was used to sort out and summarize the policy documents from 31 provincial-level administrative regions of China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), and its implementation models, temporal characteristics and implementation basis were analyzed. Using 238 193 policy beneficiaries in Shandong Province as the research objects, Stata was adopted for descriptive statistical analysis of sociodemographic characteristics including gender, age, educational background and occupation. The Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were performed to compare the distribution differences of blood donation frequencies among populations with different characteristics. Results: The “Three Exemption” policy has been implemented in 29 provinces nationwide, forming five differentiated implementation models. Specifically, 45.16% of the regions adopted province-wide unified implementation, 32.26% adopted partial prefecture-level city implementation, 12.90% adopted partial clause implementation, 3.23% adopted encouraging implementation, and 6.45% had not implemented the policy. The period from 2023 to 2026 witnessed the concentrated promotion of the policy. In Shandong Province, the beneficiaries were mainly males (82.08%), middle-aged individuals aged 40-60 years (71.78%), groups with junior and senior high school education (56.57%), and staff employees (30.60%). The distribution of blood donation frequencies showed that nearly 60% (56.95%) of the beneficiaries had donated blood 20 to 29 times. Statistically significant differences in donation frequency distributions were observed across genders, age groups, educational backgrounds, and occupations (all P<0.05). Further analysis revealed that the proportion of males with 40 or more blood donations was higher than that of females (24.32% vs 15.60%), while females had a higher proportion of 20-29 blood donations than males (65.98% vs 54.99%). With the increase of age, the proportion of those with 20-29 blood donations gradually decreased, whereas the proportion of those with≥40 blood donations gradually increased. Conclusion: The coverage of the “Three Exemptions” policy for voluntary blood donation in China continues to expand. However, there is still room for optimization in terms of policy implementation standards, population structure adaptation and incentive gradient design. Future efforts should strengthen national top-level design to balance regional development gaps. Moreover, hierarchical and targeted incentive and publicity strategies combined with population structural characteristics should be implemented to enhance public enthusiasm for voluntary blood donation.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the patterns of fasting blood glucose (FBG) trajectories and analyze the relationship between various occupational hazard factors and FBG trajectories in male steelworkers. METHODS: The study cohort included 3,728 workers who met the selection criteria for the Tanggang Occupational Cohort (TGOC) between 2017 and 2022. A group-based trajectory model was used to identify the FBG trajectories. Environmental risk scores (ERS) were constructed using regression coefficients from the occupational hazard model as weights. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the effects of occupational hazard factors using the ERS on FBG trajectories. RESULTS: FBG trajectories were categorized into three groups. An association was observed between high temperature, noise exposure, and FBG trajectory ( P < 0.05). Using the first quartile group of ERS1 as a reference, the fourth quartile group of ERS1 had an increased risk of medium and high FBG by 1.90 and 2.21 times, respectively (odds ratio [ OR] = 1.90, 95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.17-3.10; OR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.09-4.45). CONCLUSION An association was observed between occupational hazards based on ERS and FBG trajectories. The risk of FBG trajectory levels increase with an increase in ERS.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors,clinical characteristics,and bacterial resistance of bloodstream infections caused by Streptococcus mitis in children with hematological disease,so as to provide a reference for infection control.Methods:The clinical information and laboratory findings of pediatric patients complicated with blood cultures positive for Streptococcus mitis from January 2018 to December 2020 in the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital were searched and collected.The clinical characteristics,susceptibility factors,and antibiotic resistance of the children were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Data analysis from 2018 to 2020 showed that the proportion of Streptococcus mitis isolated from bloodstream infections in children(≤14 years old)with hematological diseases was the highest(19.91％)and significantly higher than other bacteria,accounting for 38.64％of Gram-positive cocci,and presented as an increasing trend year by year.A total of 427 children tested positive blood cultures,including 85 children with bloodstream infections caused by Streptococcus mitis who tested after fever.Most children experienced a recurrent high fever in the early and middle stages(≤6 d)of neutropenia and persistent fever for more than 3 days.After adjusting the antibiotics according to the preliminary drug susceptibility results,the body temperature of most children(63.5％)returned to normal within 4 days.The 85 children were mainly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia(AML),accounting for 84.7％.The proportion of children in the neutropenia stage was 97.7％.The incidence of oral mucosal damage,lung infection,and gastrointestinal injury symptoms was 40％,31.8％,and 27.1％,respectively.The ratio of elevated C-reactive protein(CRP)and procalcitonin was 65.9％and 9.4％,respectively.All isolated strains of Streptococcus mitis were not resistant to vancomycin and linezolid,and the resistance rate to penicillin,cefotaxime,levofloxacin,and quinupristin-dalfopristin was 10.6％,8.2％,9.4％,and 14.1％,respectively.None of children died due to bloodstream infection caused by Streptococcus mitis.Conclusion:The infection rate of Streptococcus mitis is increasing year by year in children with hematological diseases,especially in children with AML.Among them,neutropenia and oral mucosal damage after chemotherapy are high-risk infection factors.The common clinical symptoms include persistent high fever,oral mucosal damage,and elevated CRP.Penicillin and cephalosporins have good sensitivity.Linezolid,as a highly sensitive antibiotic,can effectively control infection and shorten the course of disease.

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the morphological and functional changes of jejunal and ileal epithelium in aged mice using 3D organoid culture, to elucidate the age-related alterations in epithelial function across different regions of the intestine.Methods:The C57BL/6J male mice were divided into two groups: a young group(5 months)and an old group(24 months).Epithelial tissues from the jejunum and ileum were harvested, and the jejunal and ileal epithelial crypt units were separated for 3D organoid culture in vitro.Histological analyses, including H&E and PAS staining, immunofluorescence staining, and quantitative PCR, were employed to assess changes in crypt depth, villi length, goblet cell numbers, inflammation, and mucosal barrier function in the aged mice.Results:With aging, the crypt of jejunum became deeper and the ratio of villi length to crypt depth decreased, while the villi length of ileum became longer and the ratio of villi length to crypt depth increased.The rate of organoid formation in jejunal and ileal crypts and the number of crypto-like regions of organoid formation were significantly decreased in the aged mice, along with a decrease in the expression of the stem cell proliferation marker Ki67.The inflammation of the jejunal and ileal epithelium increased in the aged mice, and the mechanical barrier function of the epithelial mucosa was enhanced.Conclusions:In aged mice, both the jejunal and ileal epithelium exhibited similar changes in stem cell proliferation, inflammation, and mucosal mechanical barrier function, though the changes in villus length and crypt depth ratio were opposite.This study provides a foundation for further investigation of the differences in jejunal and ileal epithelial function and its potential mechanisms during aging.

Objective:To establish venetoclax-resistant acute myeloid leukemia(AML)cell lines,assess the sensitivity of venetoclax-resistant cell lines to the BCL-2 protein family,and investigate their resistance mechanisms.Methods:CCK-8 method was used to screen AML cell lines(MV4-11,MOLM13,OCI-AML2)that were relatively sensitive to venetoclax.Low concentrations of venetoclax continuously induced drug-resistance development in the cell lines.Changes in cell viability and apoptosis rate before and after resistance development were measured using the CCK-8 method and flow cytometry.BH3 profiling assay was performed to anayze the transform of mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis pathway as well as the sensitivity of resistant cell lines to BCL-2 family proteins and small molecule inhibitors.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)was utilized to examine changes in the expression levels of BCL-2 protein family members in both venetoclax-resistant cell lines and multidrug-resistant patients.Results:Venetoclax-resistant cell lines of MV4-11,MOLM13,and OCI-AML2 were successfully established,with IC50 values exceeding 10-fold.Under the same concentration of venetoclax,the apoptosis rate of resistant cells decreased significantly(P＜0.05).BH3 profiling assay revealed that the drug-resistant cell lines showed increased sensitivity to many pro-apoptotic proteins(such as BIM,BID and NOXA).RT-qPCR showed significantly upregulated MCL1 and downregulated NOXA1 were detected in drug-resistant cell lines.Expression changes in MCL1 and NOXA1 in venetoclax-resistant patients were consistent with our established drug-resistant cell line results.Conclusion:The venetoclax-resistant AML cell lines were successfully established through continuous induction with low concentrations of venetoclax.The venetoclax resistance resulted in alterations in the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway of the cells and an increased sensitivity of cells to pro-apoptotic proteins BIM,BID,and NOXA,which may be associated with the upregulation of MCL1 expression and downregulation of NOXA1 expression in the drug-resistant cells.

Objective:To systematically evaluate and integrate the qualitative studies on nurses' experiences with nursing information systems, so as to provide a basis for improving the use and management of nursing information systems.Methods:The qualitative study on nurses' experiences, feelings, and attitudes toward nursing information systems was electronically searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PsycINFO.

The pregnant woman was 30 years old,G2P0.This singleton pregnancy at 22 weeks of gestation was screened for second-trimester ultrasound malformations,suggesting fetal aortic valve atresia,aortic stenosis with reverse blood flow,mitral valve atresia,and markedly enlarged left ventricle,which was considered for the diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome(HLHS).The pregnancy was terminated at our hospital and subsequently underwent genetic testing with results of heterozygous variants in the NOTCH1 gene,which can cause aortic valve disease type 1.The findings of the fetal autopsy were aortic valve atresia,mitral valve widening and thickening,and left ventricular enlargement with myocardial infarction.This report focuses on the ultrasound characteristics of HLHS with left ventricular enlargement and its hemodynamic changes in order to improve clinicians'understanding of the progressive changes in the disease phenotype of HLHS.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and adverse reactions of CAG regimen combined with venetoclax,chidamide,and azacitidine in the treatment of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:15 elderly AML patients aged ≥ 60 years old who were admitted to the Hematology Department of our hospital from May 2022 to October 2023 were treated with the CAG regimen combined with venetoclax,chidamide and azacitidine,and the efficacy,treatment-related adverse events,overall survival(OS)and event-free survival(EFS)were analyzed.Results:After one course of treatment,11 out of 15 patients achieved complete response(CR),3 patients achieved CR with incomplete hematologic recovery(CRi),and 1 patient died due to prior infection before efficacy evaluation,and the overall response rate(ORR)was 93.3％(14/15).The median follow-up time was 131(19-275)days,with median OS and EFS both remaining unreached.Next-generation sequencing(NGS)analysis showed that among the 15 patients,13 were detected with gene mutations,and there were 7 genes with mutation frequencies of more than 10％,including ASXL1(4 cases),RUNX1(4 cases),BCOR(3 cases),DNMT3A(3 cases),STAG2(2 cases),IDH1/2(2 cases),and TET(2 cases).Among the 13 patients with detectable mutations,12 patients achieved composite response(CR+CRi).The average recovery time of white blood cell count was 14.6 days after chemotherapy,and the average recovery time of platelets was 7.7 days after chemotherapy.The main adverse event was myelosuppression,with 10 patients accompanied by infection.Except for 1 patient who died due to septic shock during chemotherapy,no patients experienced serious complications such as heart,liver,or kidney damage during the treatment process.Conclusion:The CACAG+V regimen,which combines the CAG regimen with venetoclax,chidamide,and azacitidine,can be applied in the treatment of elderly AML patients,demonstrating good safety and induction remission rate.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.
