Objective: To characterize the serological profile, RHD genetic spectrum, and their frequencies among pregnant women preliminary screened as RhD-negative and weak positive in Qingdao and surrounding areas, and correlate these findings with unexpected antibody detection results, thereby providing testing recommendations and suggestions for such individuals. Methods: Blood samples of pregnant women who were initially identified as RhD negative and weak positive in hospitals in Qingdao and surrounding areas over the past five years were collected. Different cloned IgG anti-D antibodies were used for RhD negative confirmation experiments. RHD genotyping was performed by combining PCR-SSP and Sanger sequencing. Unexpected antibody screening and identification were carried out using test tube method and microcolumn gel card. The immunologic status of newborns delivered by anti-D pregnant women was also tracked. Results: A total of 602 blood samples were collected from pregnant women initially identified as RhD-negative and weak positive. Among them, 569 (94.5%) were confirmed as RhD-negative in the RhD confirmation test, and 33 (5.5%) were D variant phenotype. Except for 4 cases where no definite mutations were found, gene analysis revealed 474 (78.7%) D-negative cases with 5 genotypes (RHD 01N.01, RHD 01N.03, RHD 01N.16, RHD 01N.05, and 1 new allele), 90 (15.0%) Del cases with 2 genotypes (RHD 01EL.01, and RHD 01EL.18), 23 (3.8%) weak D cases with 2 genotypes (RHD 15 and 1 new allele), and 11 (1.8%) partial D cases with 2 genotypes (RHD 06.03.01 and RHD 05.04). Anti-D and complex antibodies containing anti-D were detected in 96 RhD-negative and partial D pregnant women (15.9%). After injection of anti-D immunoglobulin, One O-type RhD-negative pregnant woman delivered a newborn with hyperbilirubinemia. The newborn was typed to be B Del, and anti-D was detected in both serum and eluate. Conclusion: The serological profiles, RHD gene types and frequencies among RhD negative pregnant women in Qingdao and surrounding areas are basically consistent with domestic published data. Pregnancy can stimulate anti-D production in D-negative and partial D individuals. However, anti-D antibody has not been detected in Del type pregnant women. Since anti-D immunoglobulin can binds to Del type red blood cells, its administration is not recommended for Del type pregnant women.

Objective To develop a postoperative precision nursing program for children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS),so as to provide references for the improvement of nursing quality for children with OSAHS.Methods Literature in precision nursing for children with OSAHS was systematically reviewed and summarised based on precision nursing theory and a postoperative precision nursing program was drafted.Using the Delphi's Method,two rounds of expert consultation were conducted and the postoperative precision nursing program for children with OSAHS was revised and finalised.Results The response rates of the two rounds of expert consultation were 100.00%with the expert authority coefficient of 0.875.The Kendall coefficient of concordance(W)of levels 1,2 and 3 indices in the second round of expert consultation were 0.289,0.203,0.187,respectively(all P<0.01).The importance score of each inclicator ranged from 4.50～4.94.The coefficient of variations for the three-level indices ranged from 0.05 to 0.21.The finalised program composed 8 level-1 indices(postoperative position assessment,intervention,prevention and care of bleeding,maintaining postoperative airway patency,postoperative nausea and vomiting care,postoperative pain assessment and care,dietary care,complication prevention and care,discharge guidance),16 level-2 indices,and 22 level-3 indices.Conclusion The postoperative precision nursing program for the children with OSAHS is scientific,innovative and applicable.It provides clinical references for nursing of the children with OSAHS.

AIM:To investigate whether melatonin can ameliorate acute myocardial infarction(AMI)by in-hibiting ferroptosis.METHODS:H9C2 cells were cultured in AnaeroPack system with low sugar and serum-free medium for 10 h to construct a cell model of AMI.Then cells were treated with melatonin and ferroptosis inducer erastin.The cell activity,reactive oxygen species(ROS),lipid peroxidation,mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP),and ferroptosis related protein expression were detected.A rat model of AMI induced by isoprenaline(ISO)injection was established to evaluate the effects of melatonin,in which the myocardial infarction size,cardiac injury,pathological changes,oxidative stress,iron ion and ferroptosis related protein expression were examined.RESULTS:Melatonin decreased the oxidative stress,lipid peroxidation and expression of ferroptosis protein in cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia,but these effects could be impeded by the ferroptosis inducer erastin.Furthermore,in vivo experiments,we also found that melatonin im-proved the myocardial infarction size,cardiac injury,pathological changes,oxidative stress,and alleviated iron ion accu-mulation and ferroptosis.CONCLUSION:The cardioprotective effects of melatonin in AMI are associated with the inhi-bition of ferroptosis.

As a chronic metabolic disease,type 2 diabetes poses a significant threat to human health with increasing incidence.An increasing number of studies confirm that the pathogenesis of diabetes is closely related with alterations in multiple cellular signaling pathways.Although numerous studies have reported that traditional Chinese medicine compounds prevent diabetes by modulating cell signaling pathways,asystematic review of the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine compounds in modulating cell signaling pathways is still lacking.Therefore,this paper summarizes the research of type 2 diabetes prevention and treatment,which was found mainly related to the signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT,AMPK,MAPK,NF-κB,PPAR,TGF-β.This family of signaling pathways can treat type 2 diabetes by inhibiting pancreatic islet cell apoptosis,protecting pancreatic β-cell function,ameliorating insulin resistance,inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis,promoting glycogen synthesis,attenuating inflammation,and resisting oxidative stress.At the same time,we analyze the problems in current research and the future development trend,in order to provide a scientific theoretical basis for the drug development and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine compound in the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

Objective To investigate the value of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging(IVIM-DWI)in quantitatively evaluating the involved muscle in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(IIM).Methods Totally,50 patients with clinically diagnosed IIM(IIM group)and 15 healthy controls(control group)were selected for bilateral thigh MRI examination,including IVIM-DWI sequences.The right quadriceps(vastus lateralis,vastus intermedius,vastus medialis,and rectus femoris)of all subjects were selected as region of interest(ROI).Single-exponential and double-exponential analysis were employed to quantitatively measure IVIM-DWI parameters,including apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC),D,f,and D*.Based on T1WI and T2WI fat-suppressed images of the right quadriceps,these muscles were divided into affected and unaffected groups.One-way analysis of variance was used to compare IVIM-DWI parameters between affected group,unaffected group,and control group.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was performed to analyze the differences in IVIM-DWI parameters among the above groups.Results The D and ADC values were significantly higher in the affected group compared to the unaffected group and the control group(P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis revealed that D and ADC values had moderate diagnostic significance with area under the curve(AUC)of 0.794 and 0.882,respec-tively.The cutoff values for D values and ADC values were 1.63×10-3 mm2/s and 1.44×10-3 mm2/s,respectively.Additionally,MRI follow-up performed one year after treatment in three patients with IIM showed significant resolution of inflammatory edema in thigh muscles,accompanied by a marked decrease in IVIM-DWI parameter values,particularly D values and ADC values.Conclusion The affected muscle in IIM show distinctive diffusion characteristics,and IVIM-DWI parameters,especially D values and ADC val-ues,show a higher diagnostic value for assessing muscle status in IIM.In addition,IVIM-DWI parameters also demonstrate a promis-ing value in the follow-up of IIM,which requires further confirmation in larger cohorts.

To investigate the differences in methylation levels of cuproptosis related genes in cervical cancer and their effects on clinical prognosis.Methods:The methylation data of 310 cervical tissue specimens were acquired from public databases. The UALCAN database was used to analyze the methylation level differences of 12 cuproptosis-related genes and study their level in different stages or grades of cervical cancer. Genes with statistically significant differences were selected for prognosis analysis using the EWAS datahub. Finally, gene-enrichment analysis, pathway analysis, immune infiltration analysis, the mutation rate and tumor mutation burden (TMB) of the genes in cervical cancer were analyzed using the cBioportal database. Two independent samples rank-sum test was used for differences in methylation levels and immune cell infiltration; comparative analyses of overall survival were performed using KM survival curves and Log-rank two-sided tests. TMB analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon Test for statistical analyses; Pearson correlation analysis was used for assessment in GSEA and pathway analyses.Results:The methylationβvalue of Cyclin Dependent Kinase Inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A gene) in the cervical cancer tissues of patients was 0.075 which was significantly higher than the methylationβvalue of 0.049 in normal human tissues ( P=0.008). Dihydrolipoamide S-Acetyltransferase (DLAT gene) methylation with a β value of 0.102 was significantly higher than normal human tissue methylation with a β value of 0.08 ( P=0.002), and the methylation level β value of Lipoyltransferase 1 (LIPT1 gene) in cervical cancer tissues was 0.06,which was significantly lower than normal human tissue methylation value of 0.092 ( P=0.009). Patients with CDKN2A gene methylation levels≥0.199 had an overall survival of 14.75 years, which was lower than that of patients with methylation levels<0.199 (17.56 years) ( P=0.034).The results of gene enrichment analysis indicated that it mainly involves biological processes such as the response to type I interferon and DNA replication. The expression of CDKN2A gene is positively correlated with the number of neutrophils and dendritic cells in the tumor microenvironment( P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the number ofmacrophages( P<0.05). TMB was higher in the group of variants of the CDKN2A gene than in the group of non-variants ( P=0.019). Conclusion:CDKN2A methylation is a potential biomarker for predicting the prognosis of cervical cancer.

Objective: The Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS) is a five-item, single-dimension questionnaire that is used to measure a patient’s alcohol craving. We sought to develop the Chinese version of the PACS (PACS-C) and assess its reliability and validity. Methods: A total of 160 Taiwanese patients with alcohol use disorder were enrolled in this study. The internal consistency and concurrent validity of the PASC-C with the visual analogue scale (VAS) for craving, the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale for heavy drinking (YBOCS-hd), and the Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ) were assessed. The test–retest reliability of the PASC-C was evaluated 1 day after the baseline measurements. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to examine the psychometric properties of the PACS-C. Results: The PACS-C exhibited good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.95) and test–retest reliability (r=0.97). This scale showed high correlations with the VAS (r=0.81) and YBOCS-hd (r=0.81 and 0.79 for the obsession and compulsion subscales, respectively), and moderate correlation with the SADQ-C (r=0.47). Furthermore, CFA results revealed that the PACS-C had good fit indices under various models. Conclusion The PACS-C appears to be a reliable and valid tool for assessing alcohol craving in patients with alcohol use disorder in Taiwan.

Xiaoruwan is one of the classic prescriptions included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions （the Second Batch of Pediatrics） published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM） in 2022 with definite clinical efficacy， but it has not been converted into Chinese patent medicine preparations. The authors collected 173 pieces of data based on ancient literature on Xiaoruwan by the method of bibliometrics and selected 99 pieces of effective data， involving 46 ancient books of TCM. The study analyzed the historical development origin， prescription names， formulation rules， dosage， drug origin， preparation method and usage， indications and functions， and other aspects of Xiaoruwan. The results showed that Xiaoruwan was presumably derived from Ying Hai Miao Jue Lun（《婴孩妙诀论》） written by TANG Minwang， a doctor in the Song Dynasty. In the records of ancient medical books， there are names such as Xiaoshiwan，Yangshi Xiaoruwan， and Kuaige Xiaoshiwan， but they are mainly recorded in the name of Xiaoruwan. The prescription was composed of Cyperi Rhizoma， Amomi Fructus， Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium， Massa Medicata Fermentata， Hordei Fructus Germinatus， and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. In terms of processing method， Cyperi Rhizoma， Massa Medicata Fermentata， and Hordei Fructus Germinatus are fried， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is processed， and raw materials of Amomi Fructus and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium are used directly. In terms of function， it is effective in warming the middle， improving digestion， stopping vomiting， and digesting milk and food. The main indications include vomiting， diarrhea， night crying， and other diseases caused by milk and food stagnation. The dosage of the most used prescription in the records of ancient books is Cyperi Rhizoma 41.30 g， Amomi Fructus 20.65 g， Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium 20.65 g， Massa Medicata Fermentata 20.65 g， Hordei Fructus Germinatus 20.65 g， and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma 20.65 g， which are prepared into pills. In the taking method， it is recommended to take it with warm boiled water or ginger soup after meals. The study summarized the historical evolution of Xiaoruwan and identified the key information， with a view to providing a reference for the modern development and research of Xiaoruwan.
