ObjectiveTo establish an in vitro culture model of rat corpora cavernous smooth muscle cells (CCSMCs) using a modified tissue block adherence method. MethodsCorpus cavernosum smooth muscle tissue was digested with collagenase type I and subsequently cultured using an adherent method. Cells were purified via differential adhesion and identified through immunofluorescence and Western blotting. ResultsCCSMCs began to emerge from the tissue block after 3 days, increased significantly by day 7, and converged by day 12. Post-passage, CCSMCs exhibited strong proliferation and a “peak-to-valley” phenomenon. After purification, the cells tested positive for α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), confirming the successful establishment of the in vitro culture model. ConclusionThe modified tissue block adherence method is a cost-effective and efficient way to obtain high-purity CCSMCs.

OBJECTIVE To construct a whole-process management system for the smart pharmacy based on the integration of drug batch numbers and traceability codes, aiming to solve the problems of low upload rates and traceability difficulties of drug traceability codes in the central pharmacy, and to enhance its level of refined management and medication safety. METHODS Following the FOCUS-PDCA framework(find,organize,clarify,understand,select-plan,do,check,act), a drug batch number and traceability code management system was established by optimizing batch number management processes, introducing “pre-scan registration” technology, and establishing a dynamic “code pool” mechanism. Based on medical insurance upload data and operational performance indicators in our hospital from June to August 2025, the differences in management efficacy before and after the implementation of the system were compared and analyzed. RESULTS The drug batch number and traceability code management system was successfully established, achieving “one-object, one-code” whole-process association with batch numbers for inpatient drugs, especially split drugs. After the application of this system, the upload rate of inpatient drug traceability codes reached 100%, significantly higher than the average upload rate of inpatient drugs in other tertiary hospitals in our city (with the highest rate being only 23.22%, P <0.001). The inventory stocktaking error rate dropped from 0.9% to 0.3% (a decrease of 66.7%); the number of daily dispensing errors decreased from 1.43 to 0.37; the dispensing time (14.75 min) for temporary medical orders recovered to the routine level (14.42 min) prior to the system implementation. CONCLUSIONS By adopting the “pre-scan registration-code pool management-closed-loop traceability” model, this system enables traceability for individual drug products in their smallest packaging units, improves the upload rate of traceability codes, significantly reduces the medication dispensing error rate, and does not increase the time cost for temporary medical order dispensing, thereby balancing efficiency with closed-loop traceability.

Objective::To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and clinical application of the Obstetrical Chinese Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) Scoring System (OCDSS).Methods::This study is a retrospective study that collected 1063 cases from Wuhan Union Hospital, Yichang Central People’s Hospital, and the Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture between July 2017 and June 2024. These cases were divided into DIC and non-DIC groups based on score standard. Diagnosis of DIC, the rate of hysterectomy, neonatal mortality, and severe asphyxia are the main outcome measures. All the laboratory indicators are all determined by clinical laboratory department of the hospital. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range) and frequencies. Independent sample t-test or non-parametric test were used to compare measurement data, while the chi-square test was used for count data. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) were used to test the predictive accuracy. Using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to study the high-risk factors. P < 0.050 indicates a statistical significance. Results::Of 1063 participants in this study, 29 participants (2.73%) were diagnosed with obstetrical DIC by OCDSS score standard, and all the participants were diagnosed as DIC with underlying disease. When the Takao, Clark, and Erez score standard is the "gold standard", the OCDSS score standard always shows good sensitivity and specificity, with all the AUC over 0.75. OCDSS score standard also has better predictive of hysterectomy (68.18%, 91.07%, 0.872), severe neonatal asphyxia and death (79.17%, 75.07%, 0.842) than the other three score standards. All the indicators included in the OCDSS score standard contributed to the DIC diagnosis (all the P < 0.001). The indicators in the DIC group were more abnormal than the non-DIC group (all the P < 0.001). Conclusion::OCDSS is a first score standard, especially for pregnancies, it considers the underlying disease, clinical symptoms, and laboratory results. This score system shared a good diagnosis performance for DIC in the Chinese population and may help clinicians make timely decisions.

OBJECTIVE:
Surgical wounds that can’t complete primary healing three weeks after surgery are called postoperative refractory wounds. Postoperative refractory wounds would bring great physical and life burdens to the patients and seriously affect their quality of life. To investigate the effect of platelet fibrin plasma (PFP) on postoperative refractory wound healing.APPROACH: The composition of PFP was analyzed using blood routine and blood biochemicals. Clinical data were collected that met the inclusion criteria after treatment with PFP, and the efficacy of PFP was evaluated by wound healing rate and days to healing. Next, growth factor content in PFP, PRP, and PPP was analyzed using ELISA, and PFP-treated cells were applied to investigate the effect of PFP on fibroblast and endothelial cell function.
RESULTS:
PFP component analysis revealed no statistical difference between platelet concentration in PFP and physiological concentration. Clinical statistics showed that PFP treatment was effective in the postoperative refractory wound (four-week wound healing rate [ 90%), significantly better than continuous wound dressing. Meanwhile, our result also proved that PFP treatment significantly enhanced vascularization by upregulated the expression level of CD31 and improved granulation tissue thickness. Activated PFP, PRP, and PPP could continuously release growth factors in vitro and the amount of growth factors released by PRP and PFP was significantly higher than PPP. In vitro studies demonstrated that active PFP could improve cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and angiogenesis in fibroblasts and endothelial cells.INNOVATION: Physiologically concentrated platelet plasma promoted wound healing and improved related cellular functions. The modified PFP (responsible for accelerating wound healing and enhancing the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells) was prepared and analyzed for its clinical effectiveness in postoperative refractory wounds.
CONCLUSION
Physiologically concentrated platelet plasma promoted wound healing and improved related cellular functions. The preparation of PFP could significantly reduce the amount of prepared blood, with a good application value for postoperative wounds. PFP can be considered a treatment option, especially for postoperative refractory wounds.
