Objective: Data on syncopal donation-related vasovagal reaction (DRVR) collected from 74 blood centers between 2020 and 2023 was statistically analyzed to provide a reference for developing preventive strategies against syncopal DRVR. Methods: Data on blood donation adverse reactions and basic information of donors from 2020 to 2023 were collected through the information management system at monitoring sentinel sites. Statistical analysis was performed on the following aspects of syncopal DRVR: characteristics of donors who experienced syncope, reported incidence, triggers, duration, presence and occurrence time of syncope-related trauma, clinical management including outpatient and inpatient treatment, and severity grading. Results: From 2020 to 2023, 45 966 donation-related adverse reactions were recorded. Of these, 1 665 (3.72%) cases were syncopal DRVR. The incidence of syncopal DRVR decreased with age, being the highest in the 18-22 age group. Incidence was significantly higher in female donors than male donors, in first-time donors than repeat donors, and in university and individual donors than group donors (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among different blood donation locations (P>0.05). The top three triggers were tension, fatigue, and needle phobia or fear of blood. Among syncopal DRVR cases, 60.36% occurred during blood collection, 87.63% lasted for less than 60 seconds, and 5.05% were accompanied by trauma. Notably, 57.14% of these traumas occurred after donor had left the blood collection site. Syncope severity was graded based on required treatment: grade 1 (fully recovered without treatment, 95.50%); grade 2 (recovered after outpatient treatment, 4.02%); and grade 3 (recovered after inpatient treatment, 0.48%). Conclusion: By analyzing the data of syncopal DRVR cases, it is possible to provide a reference for formulating blood donor safety policies.

Aim To investigate the enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity of GanoExtra in combination with cyclophosphamide(CTX)on inhibiting lung metastasis and immune function in mice.Methods The CCK-8 method was used to verify the cytotoxic effects of Gano-Extra on MCF-7 and 4T1 tumor cells.In vivo experi-ment,a mouse model of lung metastasis of breast canc-er was established by injecting 4T1 tumor cells into the tail vein,which was divided into four groups including 4T1 model group,CTX group,GanoExtra group and GanoExtra+CTX group.The control group was set.After 21 days,the mice were euthanized under anes-thesia,and the body weight of the mice was recorded.Average lung index and spleen index were calculated.The mouse spleen lymphocyte transformation experi-ment was used to determine the activity of spleen cells.The NK cell activity assay was used to determine the activity of NK cells.Blood cells were determined in mouse blood samples.Flow cytometry was used to de-termine the levels of CD4+and CD8+T cells in blood samples.ELISA was used to measure the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum.HE staining was used to ob-serve the pathological morphological changes in tumors and various tissues;and CFSE staining was used to de-termine the proliferative effect of GanoExtra on CD8+cells.Results In vitro GanoExtra at 50 mg·L-1 sig-nificantly inhibited the activity of MCF-7 and 4T1 tumor cells.In the breast cancer pulmonary metastasis model,compared with the model group,the spleen in-dex and blood WBCs content were significantly re-duced,while the activity of NK cells,spleen cells,and the proportion of RBCs,CD 3+and CD 8+T cells in the blood were significantly increased.At the end of the treatment,compared with the CTX group,the number of lung metastases and lung index of the Gano-Extra+CTX group were significantly reduced,and the levels of HGB,CD8+cells,IL-6,and TNF-α in the blood of mice were significantly increased.GanoExtra at 10 mg·L-1 significantly promoted the proliferation of CD8+T cells in vitro.Conclusions GanoExtra can enhance the inhibitory effect of CTX on tumor metasta-sis,alleviate adverse reactions such as splenomegaly and pulmonary enlargement caused by CTX,and have a health-promoting function of promoting the prolifera-tion of CD8+T cells to enhance the immune efficacy of the body.

Objective To explore clinical effect of single small incision with honeycomb titanium plate in treating acute acromioclavicular dislocation.Methods The clinical data of 40 patients with acute acromioclavicular dislocation admitted from December 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups according to different surgical methods.Among them,20 patients were fixed with single small incision with honeycomb titanium plate(titanium plate group),including 11 males and 9 females,aged from 23 to 65 years old with an average of(47.40±12.58)years old;12 patients on the left side,8 patients on the right side;11 patients with type Ⅲ,3 patients with type Ⅳ,and 6 patients with type Ⅴ according to Rockwood classification.Twenty patients were fixed with clavicular hook plate(clavicular hook group),including 8 males and 12 females,aged from 24 to 65 years old with an average of(48.40±12.08)years old;12 patients on the left side,8 patients on the right side;10 patients with type Ⅲ,2 patients with type Ⅳ,and 8 patients with type V according to Rockwood classifica-tion.Operative time,incision length,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay,visual analogue scale(VAS)and Constant-Murley score of shoulder joint function were compared between two groups.Anteroposterior radiographs of the affected shoulder joint were recorded before,immediately and 6 months after surgery,and the coracoclavicular distance was measured and compared.Results Both groups of patients were successfully completed operation without serious complications.All patients were fol-lowed up for 6 to 15 months with an average of(11.9±4.8)months.There were no incisional infection,internal plant fracture or failure,bone tunnel fracture and other complications occurred.The incision length of titanium plate group(35.90±3.14)mm was significantly shorter than that of clavicular hook group(49.30±3.79)mm(P＜0.05).There were no significant difference in operative time,intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay between two groups(P＞0.05).At 1 and 3 months after operation,VAS of titanium plate group was lower than that of clavicular hook group(P＜0.05).Connstant-Murley scores in titanium plate group at 1,3 and 6 months after operation were(86.80±1.36),(91.60±2.32)and(94.90±2.22),respectively;and in clavicular hook group were(78.45±5.47),(85.55±2.01)and(90.25±1.92),which were higher than that of clavicular hook group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in coracoclavicular distance between two groups immediately and 6 months after op-eration(P＞0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation,single small incision combined with honeycomb titanium plate have advantages of shorter incision,fast recovery of shoulder joint function without the second operation,and has good satisfaction of patient.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the damage mechanism of pathogenic E.coli on mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells(BMEC cells)and mouse alveolar macrophages(MH-S cells),as well as the lung and brain of healthy mice.In this study,BMEC cells and MH-S cells were infected with pathogenic E.coli strains,and cell morphological changes were observed.Plate counting method was used to detect the adhesion and invasion ability of the strains to cells and the number of bacteria in the lungs and brains of mice.RT-qPCR was used to detect the ex-pression of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 genes in cells and mouse organs at different time periods.West-ern blot was used to detect the expression of p-NF-κB,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 proteins related to inflammation in cells and mouse organs after infection.The results showed that the cell culture medium of the infection group was turbid,the cell vision became dark and blurred,some cells shrank and died,and more fragments were produced.The adhesion rate and invasion rate of BMEC cells at 3 h were significantly lower than those at 6 h(P＜0.050),and the adhesion rate and inva-sion rate of MH-S cells at 3 h were significantly higher than those at 6 h(P＜0.010).Infected mice had a large area of swelling and bleeding in the brain,and the lungs had different degrees of swell-ing and bleeding.The bacterial load in the brain and lung was the highest at 12 h.Compared with the control group,the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in the infection group were significantly increased at 3 h and 6 h(P＜0.050),and the mRNA expression levels of inflam-matory factors in BMEC cells and MH-S cells were the highest at 6 and 3 h,respectively.The mR-NA expression of inflammatory factors in the brain and lung of infected mice showed a trend of in-creasing first and then decreasing with time,with the highest expression at 12 h after infection.The expression levels of p-NF-κB protein in BMEC cells,MH-S cells,lung and brain tissues of mice in the infection group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.001),and the expression levels of p-JAK2 protein and p-STAT3 protein were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.050).The above results showed that pathogenic E.coli could adhere and invade BMEC cells and MH-S cells,colonize in lung and brain tissues of mice,promote the expres-sion of NF-κB protein in cells and tissues,inhibit the expression of JAK2 protein and STAT3 pro-tein,and then stimulate cells and tissues to produce inflammatory response.

Objective:To analyze the expression of MCP-1 and CCR2 in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL),and to evaluate their correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis.Methods:A total of 141 patients with DLBCL diagnosed and treated in the Department of Hematology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2017 to May 2022 were retrospectively collected.The clinical characteristics,pathological data and prognostic factors of the patients were collected.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of MCP-1 and CCR2 in the tissues of newly treated DLBCL patients,and to analyze the relationship between MCP-1 and clinical characteristics,prognosis and survival of patients.Results:The expression of MCP-1 and CCR2 were correlated with Ann Arbor stage,IPI score,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),Ki-67 index and therapeutic effect.There were no significant correlation between the expression of MCP-1 or CCR2 and other clinical histopathological parameters such as gender,age,β2-microglobulin,BCL-2,BCL-6,Hans classification,initial location,B symptoms,bone marrow involvement.There was a statistical difference in OS and PFS between the MCP-1 or CCR2 positive group and the negative group,which was associated to poor prognosis.Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that β2-microglobulin,Ki-67 index,IPI score,MCP-1,CCR2 expression levels and disease remission affected the PFS and OS of DLBCL patients(P＜0.05).Gender,age,LDH,BCL-2,BCL-6,Hans classification,primary tumor site,B symptoms,bone marrow involvement,Ann Arbor stage had no effect on PFS and OS(P＞0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that β2-microglobulin,Ki-67 index,IPI score,MCP-1,CCR2 expression levels and disease remission were independent influencing factors of patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The expression rate of MCP-1 or CCR2 in newly treated DLBCL is high,and it is correlated with the clinical features of poor prognosis such as stage and LDH of DLBCL patients,which is a poor prognostic factor affecting PFS and OS.

Objective:To investigate the expression level of urothelial carcinoembryonic antigen 1(lncRNA UCA1)in the bone marrow of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients,and to explore the clinical significance of lncRNA UCA1 expression level in AML patients.Methods:Bone marrow samples of 50 AML patients were collected as experimental group,and bone marrow samples of 20 iron deficiency anemia(IDA)patients were collected as control group.The relevant clinicopathological characteristics of AML patients were collected.Real-time quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the expression level of lncRNA UCA1 in the experimental and control groups,and the relationships between lncRNA UCA1 expression and clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis in AML patients were analyzed.Kaplan-Meier curves were used to analyze the effect of lncRNA UCA1 on the overall survival(OS)of AML patients;And Cox regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of AML patients.Results:Compared with the control group,the expression level of lncRNA UCA1 was significantly elevated in patients with AML(P＜0.001);The proportion of patients with hemoglobin lower than 90 g/L in lncRNA UCA1 high expression group was significantly higher than that in lncRNA UCA1 low expression group(P=0.004);The expression level of lncRNA UCA1 was higher in M1,M2,and M4 subtypes,while it was lower in M0 and M5 subtypes,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.009).There were no significant difference in sex,age,white blood cell(WBC)count,platelet(PLT)count,bone marrow blasts,chemotherapy regimen and efficacy,karyotype,gene mutation,and prognostic risk stratification between patients in UCA1 high expression group and those in UCA1 low expression group(all P＞0.05).The OS of patients with high expression of lncRNA UCA1 was significantly shorter than that of patients with low expression of lncRNA UCA1(P=0.0229).Conclusion:The expression level of lncRNA UCA1 is significantly upregulated in AML patients.High expression of lncRNA UCA1 is associated with poor clinicopathological features and poor prognosis.Therefore,lncRNA UCA1 can be used as a prognostic indicator and a potential therapeutic target for AML patients.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT)is one of the main treatment methods for hematological malignancies.With the continuous improvement and popularization of transplantation technology,it has brought hope for prolonging the lives and improving the survival rate of patients with hematological malignancies. However,postoperative invasive fungal infection (IFI)is the most common infectious complication and the main cause of death,with difficult early diagnosis and extremely high mortality.This paper summarizes the latest research progress on the pathogenic types,diagnostic methods,high-risk factors and treatment regimen of Candida,Aspergillus and Mucor associated with postoperative IFI,which is expected to provide references for improving the early diagnosis rate and treatment effectiveness of postoperative IFI.

Objective:In chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with previous 96-week treatment with tenofovir amibufenamide (TMF) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), we investigated the efficacy of sequential TMF treatment from 96 to 144 weeks.Methods:Enrolled subjects who were previously assigned (2:1) to receive either 25 mg TMF or 300 mg TDF with matching placebo for 96 weeks received extended or switched TMF treatment for 48 weeks. Efficacy was evaluated based on virological, serological, biological parameters, and fibrosis staging. Statistical analysis was performed using the McNemar test, t-test, or Log-Rank test according to the data. Results:593 subjects from the initial TMF group and 287 subjects from the TDF group were included at week 144, with the proportions of HBV DNA<20 IU/ml at week 144 being 86.2% and 83.3%, respectively, and 78.1% and 73.8% in patients with baseline HBV DNA levels ≥8 log10 IU/ml. Resistance to tenofovir was not detected in both groups. For HBeAg loss and seroconversion rates, both groups showed a further increase from week 96 to 144 and the 3-year cumulative rates of HBeAg loss were about 35% in each group. However, HBsAg levels were less affected during 96 to 144 weeks. For patients switched from TDF to TMF, a substantial further increase in the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization rate was observed (11.4%), along with improved FIB-4 scores.Conclusion:After 144 weeks of TMF treatment, CHB patients achieved high rates of virological, serological, and biochemical responses, as well as improved liver fibrosis outcomes. Also, switching to TMF resulted in significant benefits in ALT normalization rates (NCT03903796).

Objective:In chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with previous 96-week treatment with tenofovir amibufenamide (TMF) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), we investigated the safety profile of sequential TMF treatment from 96 to 144 weeks.Methods:Enrolled subjects that previously assigned (2:1) to receive either 25 mg TMF or 300 mg TDF with matching placebo for 96 weeks received extending or switching TMF treatment for 48 weeks. Safety profiles of kidney, bone, metabolism, body weight, and others were evaluated.Results:666 subjects from the initial TMF group and 336 subjects from TDF group with at least one dose of assigned treatment were included at week 144. The overall safety profile was favorable in each group and generally similar between extended or switched TMF treatments from week 96 to 144. In subjects switching from TDF to TMF, the non-indexed estimated glomerular filtration rate (by non-indexed CKD-EPI formula) and creatinine clearance (by Cockcroft-Gault formula) were both increased, which were (2.31±8.33) ml/min and (4.24±13.94) ml/min, respectively. These changes were also higher than those in subjects with extending TMF treatment [(0.91±8.06) ml/min and (1.30±13.94) ml/min]. Meanwhile, switching to TMF also led to an increase of the bone mineral density (BMD) by 0.75% in hip and 1.41% in spine. On the other side, a slight change in TC/HDL ratio by 0.16 (IQR: 0.00, 0.43) and an increase in body mass index (BMI) by (0.54±0.98) kg/m 2 were oberved with patients switched to TMF, which were significantly higher than that in TMF group. Conclusion:CHB patients receiving 144 weeks of TMF treatment showed favorable safety profile. After switching to TMF, the bone and renal safety was significantly improved in TDF group, though experienceing change in metabolic parameters and weight gain (NCT03903796).

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.
