[Objective] To investigate the factors influencing the detection of HLA-C expression by flow cytometry. [Methods] A total of 12 hematopoietic stem cell suspension samples from peripheral hematopoietic stem cell volunteer donors were randomly collected after CD34⁺ cell counting detection. The influence of detecting different number of nucleated cell (500 000, 50 000 and 5 000), sequential order of red blood cell lysis and antibody incubation, and the HLA-C antibody with varied remaining time from the expiration date on the detection results of HLA-C expression by flow cytometry were investigated, respectively. The significance of differences between different groups was analyzed through Student t test. [Results] There was no significant difference in the proportion of HLA-C positive cells and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) among the three groups with different nucleated cell numbers detected (500 000, 50 000 and 5 000) (P>0.05). The sequential order of red blood cell lysis and antibody incubation had no influence on the proportion of HLA-C positive cells (P>0.05), but HLA-C MFI value was significantly lower when antibody incubation was performed after red blood cell lysis than that when antibody incubation was performed before red blood cell lysis (P<0.05). The proportion of HLA-C positive cells and MFI value detected by HLA-C antibody remaining 24 months from the expiration date were significantly higher than those detected by HLA-C antibody remaining only 5 months from the expiration date (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The present study has investigated the factors of influencing HLA-C expression level by flow cytometry, the results have important reference and application value for standardizing the experimental operation of HLA-C expression and improving the accuracy and comparability of detection results.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of saikosaponin C （SSC） on acute liver injury （ALI） in mice induced by carbon tetrachloride （CCl4） based on serum metabolomics. METHODS Forty mice were divided into blank group （water）， model group （water）， positive control drug group （Biphenyl diester drop pills， 150 mg/kg）， and SSC low- and high-dose groups （2.5， 10 mg/kg） using the random number table method， with 8 mice in each group. They were given water/ relevant drugs， once a day， for 7 consecutive days. One hour after the last administration， all mice were intraperitoneally injected with 0.2% CCl4 olive oil to induce ALI model， except for the blank group. After 17 hours of the modeling， the liver index of mice was calculated. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and IL-1β in serum of mice were detected. The histopathological changes of liver tissue were observed. Meanwhile， the serum metabolomics of mice were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS Compared with the blank group， the levels of liver index， ALT， AST， LDH， TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β in the model group were significantly increased （P＜0.01）. Hepatocytes were edema， vacuolar degeneration， more necrosis， and a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated. Compared with the model group， liver index and serum index levels of mice were significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， accompanied by marked improvement in histopathological damage to the liver tissue. The metabolomics results showed that compared with the model group， there were 63 up-regulated and 256 down-regulated differential metabolites in the serum of mice in the SSC high-dose group， including prostaglandin B2， 20-hydroxy-leukotriene B4， 5- hydroxy-L-tryptophan， 7α -hydroxycholesterol， etc.； these metabolites were primarily involved in metabolic pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism， 5-hydroxytryptamine synapse， primary bile acid biosynthesis. CONCLUSIONS SSC exerts a protective effect against CCl4-induced ALI by down-regulating the level of key metabolites such as prostaglandin B2 and 20-hydroxy-leukotriene B4， and then ruducing metabolic pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism， 5- hydroxytryptamine synapse， and primary bile acid biosynthesis.

Objective: To establish a "regular blood donor red blood cell gene database"(hereafter referred to as the "database") by applying molecular biology techniques for red blood cell antigens genotyping and utilizing information technology software, and to determine the significance and application value of this "database" in precise red blood cell transfusion. Methods: Fifteen antigens [C, c, E, e, M, N, S, s, Fy (a), Fy (b), Jk (a), Jk (b), Le (a), Le (b), P1] across six blood group systems (RHCE, MNS, FY, JK, Lewis and P1PK) were detected among 9 426 regular blood donors using the TaqMan-MGB method combined with an improved U-shaped microplate approach. With the assistance of information technology software, the "database" was integrated into the overall inventory management system of the blood supply chain. This enabled comprehensive management of regular blood donor and patient information, test results, specific antigen screening for regular blood donors, graded antigen matching between donors and patients, and rare blood type donor records. Results: The TaqMan-MGB method successfully detected paired antigens (C/c, E/e, M/N, S/s, Fy /Fy , Jk /Jk ) within a single reaction well using a standardized PCR amplification protocol. This method provided a reliable testing solution for clinical institutions and empowered blood collection and supply organizations with high-throughput screening capabilities. In the blood supply chain, genotyped red blood cells accounted for 13.2% (721/5 462 U) of the total inventory, with 95.34% (348/365) originating from donors who donated two units of blood. Moreover, the “database” fulfilled 94.06% (443/471 U) of compatible transfusion requirements from medical institutions and effectively managed rare blood type donors. Conclusion: The establishment of the "database" facilitated the transition of blood compatibility testing from traditional serological methods to molecular biology-based gold standard techniques, significantly advancing the implementation of precise transfusion strategies based on multi-antigen matching between donors and patients.

A 50-year-old male patient diagnosed with extensive stage small cell lung cancer was treated with pamiparib in combination with temozolomide.Five days later,the patient developed fever with fatigue.After 10 days,the patient stopped taking the drug due to worsening symptoms and was diagnosed with chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression(grade 4).The clinicist evaluated the patient's condition and assessed the association of adverse reactions using the Naranjo's evaluation scale,and concluded that myelosuppression may be induced by the combination of pamiparib and temozolomide.After symptomatic treatment,the patient's myelosuppression recovered completely.This article discusses the correlation between myelosuppression and the combination of the two drugs,provides treatment measures for this situation,briefly describes the risk factors of myelosuppression,treatment and prevention,and guides medical personnel to adjust the treatment plan in time according to different individuals in the process of using similar programs,and strengthens the monitoring and education of adverse drug reactions,so as to provide references for safe drug use.

Background::Previous studies have reported associations of specific maternal and paternal lifestyle factors with offspring’s cognitive development during early childhood. This study aimed to investigate the prospective associations between overall parental lifestyle and offspring’s cognitive performance during adolescence and young adulthood in China.Methods::We included 2531 adolescents aged 10-15 years at baseline in 2010 from the China Family Panel Studies. A healthy parental lifestyle score (ranged 0-5) was constructed based on the following five modifiable lifestyle factors: Smoking, drinking, exercise, sleep, and diet. Generalized estimating equation models were used to examine the association between baseline parental healthy lifestyle scores and offspring’s fluid and crystallized intelligence in subsequent years (2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018).Results::Offspring in the top tertile of parental healthy lifestyle scores performed better in overall fluid intelligence (multivariable-adjusted β = 0.53, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.29-0.77) and overall crystallized intelligence (multivariable-adjusted β = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.16-0.54) than those in the bottom tertile of parental healthy lifestyle scores. The results were similar after further adjustment for the offspring’s healthy lifestyle scores and persisted across the subgroups of parental socioeconomic status. Additionally, maternal and paternal healthy lifestyle scores were independently associated with better offspring’s cognitive performance, with significant contribution observed for paternal never-smoking, weekly exercise, and diversified diet. When both parents and offspring adhered to a healthier lifestyle, we observed the highest level of the offspring’s overall crystallized intelligence. Conclusions::Our study indicates that parental adherence to a healthier lifestyle is associated with significantly better offspring’s cognitive performance during adolescence and early adulthood, regardless of socioeconomic status. These findings highlight the potential cognitive benefits of promoting healthy lifestyles among parents of adolescents.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience between structural empowerment and work engagement of clinical nurses.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 1 723 nurses from three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province were selected as the research objects from March to May 2023. The survey was conducted using general information questionnaire, Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-Ⅱ (CWEQ-Ⅱ), Nurses Psychological Resilience Scale and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between structural empowerment, psychological resilience and job engagement. AMOS 24.0 software was used to establish the structural equation model and analyze the mediating effect.Results:A total of 1 723 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 1 590 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 92.28%. The total scores of structural empowerment, psychological resilience and job engagement of 1 590 clinical nurses were (70.42±15.61), (96.84±13.15) and (62.24±11.02), respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that job engagement was positively correlated with structural empowerment and psychological resilience ( r=0.637, 0.670, P<0.01). The results of structural equation model showed that psychological resilience had a partial mediating effect between structural empowerment and job engagement. The mediating effect value was 0.321, accounting for 48.86% of the total effect. Conclusions:In this study, the structural empowerment, psychological resilience and job engagement of clinical nurses are above the medium level, and psychological resilience has a partial mediating effect between structural empowerment and job engagement. Nursing managers should fully empower nurses at the organizational level, take targeted measures to improve their psychological resilience and enhance their level of work engagement.

Objective To explore the value of the Kyoto classification score in differentiating undifferentiated gastric cancer from differentiated gastric cancer,and establish a predictive scoring system for differentiating undifferentiated gastric cancer under endoscope.Methods 183 gastric cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed.According to pathology,95 patients were included in the differentiated group and 88 were included in the undifferentiated group.The age,gender and Kyoto classification score of patients in the two groups were compared,and the factors associated with undifferentiated gastric cancer were screened by binary Logistic regression analysis.The predictive scoring system for undifferentiated gastric cancer was established based on the obtained odds ratio(O(R))values,and the receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)was drawn.Results Compared with differentiated group,the total scores of Kyoto classification,atrophy,intestinal metaplasia and diffuse redness were lower in undifferentiated group(P<0.01).Under the age of 55(P<0.05),female(P<0.05),and C1 atrophy or no atrophy(P<0.01)were independently associated with undifferentiated gastric cancer.The area under the curve(AUC)of predictive scoring system for undifferentiated gastric cancer was 0.881(95％CI:0.828～0.934),and the sensitivity and specificity were 80.70％and 90.50％at the optimal cut-off value.Conclusion There are differences in Kyoto classification scores between undifferentiated and differentiated gastric cancer patients.The predictive scoring system of undifferentiated gastric cancer established by us has certain value in distinguishing undifferentiated gastric cancer under endoscope.

Abdominal hemorrhage is one of the most severe complications of infected pancreatic necrosis(IPN).Common causes of bleeding include arterial,venous,coagulopathy-related,and iatrogenic factors.The preferred treatment for IPN complicated by abdominal bleeding is digital subtraction angiography(DSA)combined with transcatheter arterial embolization.For patients with repeated negative DSA results,ineffective conservative treatment,or acute bleeding with extremely unstable vital signs,emergency surgery is required.The surgery should follow the principles of damage control.Preventing bleeding in IPN patients is a top priority for future work.This article,based on the diagnostic and treatment experience of the authors'team as well as relevant research findings,shares thoughts and discusses with fellow professionals regarding the diagnosis and treatment of IPN with abdominal hemorrhage.

Background and Aims:The occurrence of duodenal fistula following infected pancreatic necrosis(IPN)in the later stage of treatment for acute necrotizing pancreatitis presents a significant clinical challenge.It often leads to severe complications such as difficulty in administering enteral nutrition,electrolyte imbalances,abdominal bleeding,and worsening infections.This study was performed to explore the efficacy of enteral nutrition combined with step-up drainage in treating IPN complicated by duodenal fistula and to share single-center experience. Methods:The clinical data of 66 patients with IPN complicated by duodenal fistula who underwent enteral nutrition combined with step-up drainage in the Severe Pancreatitis Treatment Center of the Nanjing Eastern Theater General Hospital between January 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Among the 66 patients,the median time from disease onset to the development of duodenal fistula was 53(32-75)d.In 46 cases(69.7％),suspicious digestive fluid-like discharge was observed from drainage tube or double-lumen tube.The diagnosis and location of the duodenal fistula were confirmed in 49 patients(74.2％)through fistulography,while the remaining cases were confirmed via surgical exploration or endoscopy.The duodenal fistulas were mainly located in the horizontal part(33.3％)or descending part(50.0％)of the duodenum.Nutritional access was safely established through nasojejunal tube in 61 patients(92.4％),while 5 patients(7.6％)required surgery to establish the access.Twenty patients(30.3％)experienced secondary abdominal bleeding,and 14 patients(21.2％)died.Among the 52 patients who recovered,49(94.2％)healed through step-up drainage,while 3(5.8％)required surgery due to delayed healing.Of the 49 patients who underwent non-surgical treatment,10(20.4％)achieved fistula closure through drainage tube,and 39(79.6％)achieved closure through continuous lavage drainage via double-lumen tube.The median healing time for duodenal fistula in non-surgically treated patients was 41(29-80)d. Conclusion:Patients with IPN complicated by duodenal fistula are in a critical condition.Enteral nutrition combined with step-up drainage is an effective treatment for these patients.
