Room temperature stored platelets are associated with a higher risk of sepsis and related fatality. The risk of bacterial contamination of platelets is a leading risk of infection from blood transfusion. U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued a guidance on bacterial risk control strategies for blood collection establishments and transfusion services to enhance the safety and availability of platelets for transfusion. The prevention and control strategies in the guidance would be informative and instructive for further development of risk control strategies of platelet bacterial contamination in China.

Objective·To verify the accuracy and clinical feasibility of fluoroscopic stereophotogrammetric analysis(FSA)technology based on two dimension(2D)-three dimension(3D)registration for early migration detection of aseptic loosening of joint prostheses.Methods·2D-3D registration algorithms centering on the light source and projected object respectively in FSA technology were verified under various working conditions through image synthesis experiments,and the feasibility of clinical application was verified through real model experiments.The image synthesis experiment established a perspective projection environment with the same parameters as the real environment in a virtual environment,the 2D perspective images of the 3D model(bone or prosthesis)during the six degrees of freedom transformation were recorded,and the six degrees of freedom transformation of the 3D model was restored by using different 2D-3D registration algorithms.The error of each registration algorithm was calculated.For real model validation,the migration between bone and prosthesis after joint replacement surgery was simulated with a high precision bone prosthesis migration simulator.The 3D model of the bone or prosthesis was reconstructed by using computed tomograph(CT)images and optical scanning,and the 2D perspective images before and after prosthesis migration were captured by using a fluoroscopy device.The migration of the prosthesis was restored by using FSA technology based on 2D-3D registration,and the error of FSA technology was calculated.Results·The accuracy of the 2D-3D registration algorithm centering on the light source was higher than that of the algorithm centering on the projected object under different working conditions.When the initial registration conditions were favorable,the algorithm centering on the light source reduced the rotation error compared to the algorithm centering on the projected object,with a statistical difference(P=0.021),and the displacement error decreases,with a significant statistical difference(P=0.000).Moreover,algorithms centering on the light sources required lower similarity and fewer registration times to meet clinical application requirements.Conclusion·The accuracy of FSA technology based on 2D-3D registration in early migration detection of artificial joint prostheses meets clinical application requirements.This technology can warn of late aseptic loosening of prostheses by detecting early migration of prostheses after joint replacement surgery,and is expected to be applied to clinical practice through further research.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) in the risk of progression to renal replacement therapy (RRT) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-5. Methods The data of DKD patients with CKD stage 3-5 who were hospitalized and followed up with detailed clinical data from January 2011 to November 2014 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively collected. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated according to the CKD-EPI formula. After 2 years of follow-up, the patients were divided into RRT group and non-RRT group according to whether they had entered renal replacement therapy. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of DKD progression to RRT. The predicted value of ApoB in the risk of progression to renal replacement therapy (RRT) of DKD patients within 2 years of follow-up was analyzed by plotting the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). By establishing multiple Cox models, the effect of ApoB elevation on the progression of DKD patients to RRT was analyzed after adjusting for the influencing factors gradually. Results A total of 258 cases were included in this study, including 156 males and 102 females. They were (66.13±11.88) years old (27-91 years old). CKD 3-5 patients were 181 cases, 50 cases and 27 cases respectively. There were 165 cases in the non-RRT group and 93 cases in the RRT group. There were statistically significant difference in hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood phosphorus, ApoB, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, serum cystatin C, eGFR and in the proportion of using angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, diuretic, β blockers between the two groups (all P＜0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that ApoB was an independent predictor of progression to RRT in patients with DKD within 2 years (HR=2.203, 95% CI 1.352-3.589, P=0.002). The area under the ROC curve of ApoB for DKD progression to RRT within 2 years of follow-up was 0.641 (C-index=0.749, P＜0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, Cox regression analysis showed that for every 1 mmol/L increase in ApoB, the risk of RRT increased by 1.038 times in DKD patients with CKD stage 3-5 (HR=2.038, 95% CI 1.312-3.168, P=0.002). Conclusions ApoB is an independent predictor of progression to RRT with CKD stage 3-5 diabetic kidney disease (DKD). For every 1 mmol/L increase in ApoB, the risk of progression to RRT in patients with CKD 3-5 DKD increases by 1.038 times.

Objective:To investigate esomeprazole combined with early enteral nutrition on the immune function and intestinal flo-ra in the elderly by patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Methods:Totally 78 elderly by patients with severe acute pancreatitis were selected and randomly divided into the observation group (39 cases) and the control group (39 cases). The control group was treated with early enteral nutrition therapy, and the observation group was treated with esomeprazole additionally. The treatment course was 14 days. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was higher that of the control group (P<0. 05). The abdominal pain relief time, recovery time of bowel sounds, abdominal distension relief time, and the time of serum amylase returning to normal and u-rine amylase returning to normal in the observation group were all better than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The incidence of intestinal flora disorders in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05). After the treatment, CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ increased in both groups (P<0. 05), and those in the observation group were higher than those in the con-trol group (P<0. 05). Serum amylase and urine amylase decreased in both groups after the treatment (P<0. 05), and the decrease in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0. 05). No serious adverse drug reactions appeared in both groups. Conclusion:Esomeprazole combined with early enteral nutrition in the elderly by patients with severe acute pancreatitis shows significant effect, and the effect may be related with improving the immune function and intestinal flora.

Objective: To explore the effects of miR-124-ROCK1 signal pathway in the damages of glomerular endothelial cells (GEnCs) induced by high glucose. Methods: Rat glomerular endothelial cells were cultured in different glucose concentrations: normal control group (NG: 5.5 mmol/L), high glucose group (HG: 30.0 mmol/L), and cells were treated with ROCK1 inhibitor Y27632, miR-124-3p mimic, miR-124-3p inhibitor. The expressions of ROCK1 activity, cell apotosis and tight junction proteins were detected by Western blot. The cell tight junction protein ZO-1 in those groups were assessed by laser scanning confocal microscope. Results: High glucose significantly decreased miR-124 expression (P<0.01), ROCK1 activity (P-MYPT1/MYPT1), and cell apoptosis (Cleaved-Caspase3/pro-Caspase3) were found increased while the tight junction proteins ZO-1and Occludin were found decreased in these cells (P<0.05 all P<0.01), However, when pretreated cells with ROCK1 inhibitor Y27632, these injuries were significantly reversed. In cells transfected with miR-124-3p mimic, p-MYPT1/MYPT1 was decreased. p-MYPT1/MYPT1 was however increased in cells transfected with miR-124-3p inhibitor (P<0.05), indicating that miR-124 could directly inhibit ROCK1 activity. The increased ROCK1 activity and apoptosis, as well as the decreased tight junction proteins induced by high glucose were significantly suppressed as miR-124-3p mimic transfected in GEnCs. Conclusions According to our experiments, high glucose suppressed miR-124 in glomerular endothelial cells, consequenctly activating ROCK1 activity to damage endothelial cells. MiR-124 overexpression could ameliorate these damages induced by high glucose, suggesting that miR-124 might be a new therapeutic target to prevent glomerular endothelial cells injuries in diabetic nephropathy.
