Objective: To establish a machine learning-based precision blood donor recruitment model at the county level and assess its generalizability and applicability. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using blood donation and SMS recruitment data from the Taicang Branch of the Suzhou Blood Center between 2019 and 2024. Multiple machine learning algorithms were employed, including extreme gradient boosting, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, and multilayer perceptron. These were combined with techniques such as synthetic minority oversampling, undersampling, and cost-sensitive learning (using MFE and MSFE loss functions). Model parameters were optimized through grid search to identify the best-performing model. Results: In a prospective comparative study against conventional methods, the machine learning models increased the recruitment success rate among high-willingness donors by an average of 129.15%, and the recruitment efficiency per SMS improved by 125.02% compared with the traditional method. Under full-scale SMS sending, the recruitment rate per SMS increased by 42.61%, and SMS sending efficiency improved by 31.77%, significantly enhancing recruitment performance. Conclusion: This study represents the first application of a machine learning-based precision donor recruitment model at the county-level in China. The precise recruitment framework not only improves recruitment efficiency and reduces recruitment costs but also demonstrates strong scalability and generalizability. It provides a scientific and feasible intelligent pathway to ensure the safety and sustainability of the blood supply.

Polygonum multiflorum (PM), a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in clinical practice, has been associated with frequent reports of liver injury in recent years, and the medication safety of PM has attracted more and more attention in China and globally. This article reviews the recent research advances in the signaling pathways and mechanisms of PM in causing drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and aims to provide new ideas for the proper and rational use of PM in clinical practice. The results show that PM is involved in the regulation of various signaling pathways, and it leads to the death of hepatocytes by destroying mitochondrial function, exacerbating bile acid accumulation, and inducing immune response, oxidative stress, and endoplasmic reticulum stress, thereby inducing the development and progression of DILI through multiple targets, pathways, and levels.

In acute lung injury, two subsets of lung macrophages exist in the alveoli: tissue-resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) and monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages (MDMs).However, it is unclear whether these 2 subsets of macrophages have different functions and characteristics during the recovery phase. RNA-sequencing of AMs and MDMs from the recovery period of LPS-induced lung injury mice revealed their differences in proliferation, cell death, phagocytosis, inflammation and tissue repair. Using flow cytometry, we found that AMs showed a higher ability to proliferate, whereas MDMs expressed a larger amount of cell death. We also compared the ability of phagocytosing apoptotic cells and activating adaptive immunity and found that AMs have a stronger ability to phagocytose, while MDMs are the cells that activate lymphocytes during the resolving phase. By testing surface markers, we found that MDMs were more prone to the M1 phenotype, but expressed a higher level of pro-repairing genes. Finally, analysis of a publicly available set of single-cell RNA-sequencing data on bronchoalveolar lavage cells from patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection validated the double-sided role of MDMs. Blockade of inflammatory MDM recruitment using CCR2 −/− mice effectively attenuates lung injury. Therefore, AMs and MDMs exhibited large differences during recovery. AMs are long-lived M2-like tissue-resident macrophages that have a strong ability to proliferate and phagocytose. MDMs are a paradoxical group of macrophages that promote the repair of tissue damage despite being strongly pro-inflammatory early in infection, and they may undergo cell death as inflammation fades. Preventing the massive recruitment of inflammatory MDMs or promoting their transition to pro-repairing phenotype may be a new direction for the treatment of acute lung injury.

Due to factors such as low pressure, low oxygen and cold in the plateau environment, people who enter the plateau rapidly are susceptible to digestive system diseases, such as upper abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting and other gastrointestinal dysfunction, which seriously affect the health and work ability of people who enter the plateau rapidly. The gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by the rapid advance to the plateau is mainly reflected in three aspects: gastrointestinal motility dysfunction, impaired mucosal barrier function, and intestinal flora imbalance. At present, the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal dysfunction is still not very clear, and there are fewer drugs for targeted prevention and treatment. Gastrointestinal hormones, oxygen free radicals, inflammatory factors, intestinal flora and other factors, as well as the protective effects of related drugs were reviewed in this paper to provide treatment options and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of the gastrointestinal emergency response caused by entering the plateau.

Objective To explore the predictive value of lung function test parameters combined with assessment test(CAT)score of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)for acute attack in elderly COPD patients.Methods A total of 150 elderly COPD patients admitted to Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from June 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively enrolled.According to the diagnostic criteria of acute attack of COPD,the patients were divided into acute attack group(n=45)and stable group(n=105).The clinical basic data,forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in 3 seconds(FEV3),percentage of FEV1 to predicted value(FEV1%),FEV1/FVC and FEV1/FEV3 were compared between the 2 groups.Respiratory symptoms and COPD severity were assessed by St.George's respiratory questionnaire(SGRQ),modified British Medical Research Council respiratory questionnaire(mMRC),and CAT questionnaire.Correlation analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were used to determine independent risk factors for acute attack in elderly COPD patients.Receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn to evaluate the independent and combined predictive value of risk factors.Results FEV1,FVC,FEV1%,FEV1/FVC,and FEV1/FEV3 in the acute attack group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The scores of SGRQ,mMRC and CAT in the acute attack group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that FEV1,FVC,FEV1%,and FEV1/FVC were negatively correlated with acute attack of COPD,while mMRC and CAT scores were positively correlated with acute attack of COPD(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the decrease of FEV1 and the increases of mMRC and CAT scores were the risk factors of acute attack of COPD in elderly patients.ROC analysis showed that FEV1 and CAT were of high value in independent prediction of acute attack of COPD in elderly patients.Conclusion Lung function test parameters and scores related to various respiratory symptoms in elderly patients with COPD will change significantly during acute attack.FEV1 and CAT are important independent risk factors and predictors of acute attack,which can be used for early monitoring,evaluation and prevention of acute attack in elderly patients with COPD in the future.

With the dramatically increasing detection rate of ground-glass nodules (GGN), exact understanding and treatment strategy of them has become the hottest issue currently. More and more studies have begun to explore the underlying mechanisms of their indolent characteristics and favorable prognosis from the perspectives of molecular evolution and immune microenvironment. GGN has different dominating gene mutations at different evolutional stages. The pure GGN has a lower tumor mutation burden and genomic instability, while a gradually evolutionary feature of genomic mutation along with the pathological progression can be observed. GGN has less infiltration of immune cells, and they are under the pressure of immune surveillance with weakened immune escape. With the increase of solid components, an inhibitory immune microenvironment is gradually established and immune escape is gradually enhanced, leading to rapid tumor growth. Further exploration of the molecular characteristics of GGN will help to more precisely distinguish these highly heterogeneous lesions, which could be helpful to make personalized treatment plans.

Robotic surgical systems are gradually being used in minimally invasive surgery with their advantages of high-definition magnified 3D images, stable surgical field and flexible operation. The change of surgical approach and the narrow operating space in robotic thyroid surgery have made it more difficult to identify and protect the laryngeal nerve, and the application of nerve monitoring has been limited. Many researchers have attempted to improve the monitoring equipment and probe placement to make intraoperative neuromonitoring techniques work well in robotic thyroid surgery. In this paper, we seek effective ways to protect the laryngeal nerve in robotic thyroid surgery, and lay the foundation for a more minimally invasive and standardized development of this technology.

Tibetan is a kind of medicine which extensively absorbed and fused the Chinese Traditional Medicine, Indian medicine and food through long-term practice and form the unique medical system. At the same time, the Qinghai Tibet plateau has characteristics of high altitude and lack of resources and oxygen, which has formed its unique geographical environment and grow a lot of rare medicinal plants. Tibetan medicine has a long history and is one of the relatively complete and influential ethnic medicines in China, which has played an important role in the treatment of plateau diseases. In recent years, with the increasing of economic activities in the plateau, the plateau anoxia had greatly affected the working capacity of the plateau. According to "Chinese medicine" through the literature, the pharmacological activities, active ingredients, growing environment of Tibetan medicine with good plateau hypoxia effect were reviewed and according to the site, which could be divided into the lung protection medicine, the cardiac protection medicine, the brain protection medicine, the liver protection medicine, the improvement of fatigue medicine and other medicine, which could provide theoretical basis for finding more potential anti-hypoxia drugs.
