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.

OBJECTIVE To assess the long-term cost-effectiveness of five glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists （GLP- 1RAs） in the treatment of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） treated with metformin. METHODS Baseline data from patients in previously published meta-analysis and included randomized controlled trials （RCTs） were extracted to predict survival， long-term efficacy， and costs for each group using the United Kingdom prospective diabetes study outcome model 2.1. The cost-effectiveness of 5 GLP-1RAs （liraglutide， lixisenatide， exenatide， dulaglutide， and semaglutide） was analyzed by cost- utility analysis. Sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were also performed to verify the uncertainty of basic analysis results. RESULTS A total of 21 RCTs with 6 796 patients were included. Survival analysis curves showed the superiority of semaglutide in reducing the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and dulaglutide in reducing the risk of all-cause mortality over other GLP- 1RAs. The cost-utility analysis showed that the five drugs were economically superior to inferior in the order of lixisenatide， semaglutide， exenatide， dulaglutide， and liraglutide； one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses indicated that the results were robust. The scenario analysis results indicated that the price of semaglutide should decrease by at least 54.64% to 369.21 yuan， which is cost-effectiveness compared to lixisenatide. CONCLUSIONS For T2DM patients in China with poor glycemic control after treatment with metformin， lixisenatide and semaglutide may be considered as the preferred regimen.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. METHODS The data of RATIONALE-305 study and related literature were used to establish a partitioned survival model from the perspective of China’s health system. The cycle was 3 weeks， the simulation time was set as 10 years， and the discount rate was 5%. The quality-adjusted life years （QALYs） were used as the health outcome indicator to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy versus placebo combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma， and one-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were also conducted. RESULTS The base analysis showed that the patients received more 0.268 QALYs with tislelizumab plus chemotherapy， compared with placebo plus chemotherapy， but the cost increased by 70 404.81 yuan with an incremental cost- effectiveness ratio （ICER） of 262 431.62 yuan/QALY， which was less than three times China’s gross domestic product （GDP） per capita in 2023 as the willingness-to-pay （WTP） threshold （268 074 yuan/QALY）. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that the efficacy value of progress free survive and the price of tislelizumab had a greater impact on the ICER value. The results of probability sensitivity analysis showed that when the WTP threshold was 3 times China’s GDP per capita in 2023， the probability of tislelizumab being cost-effective was 53.3%. CONCLUSIONS When the WTP threshold is 3 times China’s GDP per capita in 2023， tislelizumab plus chemotherapy is cost-effective for first-line treatment of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma， compared with placebo plus chemotherapy.

Objective:To study the regulatory effect of Wumen-Yiji powder on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) signal transduction system in intestine and hypothalamus of diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) model rats. Methods:Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group (10 rats) and diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome group (50 rats). The diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome group formed the diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome model after 2 weeks of senna leaf gavage and restraint stress. They were randomly divided into model group, deshute group (1.5 mg/kg), low, medium and high dose group of Wumen-Yiji San (6, 12, 24 g/kg), with 10 rats in each group. After continuous administration for 2 weeks, the contents of 5-HT in serum, colon and hypothalamus were detected by ELISA; HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of colon in each group. The protein and mRNA levels of tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH-1), serotonin receptor 3 (5-HT3R), serotonin receptor 4 (5-HT4R), serotonin transporter (SERT) in colon and hypothalamus were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR, respectively. Results:Compared with the model group, the pathological morphology of colon in each treatment group was improved. Compared with the model group, the level of 5-HT in serum and colon significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the level of 5-HT in hypothalamus of rats in the low, medium, high dose group of Wumen-Yiji San significantly increased ( P<0.05). The expression of TPH-1, 5-HT3R and 5-HT4R protein significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the expression of SERT protein in the medium, high dose group of Wumen-Yiji San significantly increased ( P<0.05). The expression of TPH-1, 5-HT3R and 5-HT4R protein in hypothalamus increased ( P<0.05), and the expression of SERT protein in the high dose group of Wumen-Yiji San significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The mRNA levels of TPH-1 (4.778 ± 0.604, 3.278 ± 0.668, 1.670 ± 0.361 vs. 6.877 ± 0.148), 5-HT3R (3.807 ± 0.463, 2.697 ± 0.455, 1.132 ± 0.136 vs. 6.322 ± 0.778), 5-HT4R (4.521 ± 0.234, 2.801 ± 0.351, 1.331 ± 0.142 vs. 6.741 ± 0.293) in colon tissue of low, medium and high dose groups of Wumen-Yiji San decreased ( P<0.05). The level of 5-HT4R mRNA (0.616 ± 0.208, 0.726 ± 0.226 vs. 0.521 ± 0.062) increased ( P<0.05), and the level of SERT mRNA (1.563 ± 1.023 vs. 2.612 ± 1.035) in medium, high dose group of Wumen-Yiji San decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The result showed that Wumen-Yiji San could regulate the expression of 5-HT signaling system relating proteins and mRNA in the colon and hypothalamus of IBS-D rats within a certain dose range, so as to improve the symptoms of IBS-D.

Objective:To explore the radiology and short-term clinical outcomes of MAKO robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods:The present study retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 23 patients (32 hips) who diagnosed as osteonecrosis of the femoral head and underwent MAKO THA from August 1st to December 31st, 2018 as MAKO THA group. A total of 23 patients (32 hips) with the same diagnosis underwent manual THA at the same time as conventional THA group. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of gender, affected side, age, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), stage of the Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO), preoperative Harris hip score, WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index and limb length discrepancy. The patients in both groups were operated by the same doctors. The MAKO THA group underwent the acetabular preparation and the acetabular shell impaction with the assistance of the robotic arm. The leg length and offset were adjusted under the feedback of the MAKO system. Other intraoperative procedures and postoperative interventions of MAKO THA group were similar as conventional THA group. The operation duration, incidence of complications, the radiograph parameters (version, leg length discrepancy and offset), consistency of acetabular prosthesis position in MAKO operation plan, position in postoperative X-ray, the consistency of acetabular prosthesis inclination, version in MAKO operation plan, angles in postoperative CT and functional scores (Harris hip score, WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index and forgotten joint score) at 6 months and 12 months after operation were compared between the two groups.Results:The operation duration of the MAKO THA group was longer than that of the conventional THA group (101.2±19.9 min, 65.5±5.6 min, t=7.659, P<0.001). In terms of radiograph parameters, the different of version (22.63°±5.58°, 15.98°±7.13°, t=4.156, P<0.001) and limb length discrepancy (0.35±0.30 cm, 0.87±0.43 cm, t=4.775, P<0.001) and offset (0.27±0.19 cm, 0.49±0.16 cm, t=4.155, P<0.001) between the two groups were statistically significant. The MAKO operative plan and postoperative radiographs were measured. The difference of inclination/version were 1.18°±2.52°/2.06°±2.79° ( r=0.846, P<0.001; r=0.810, P<0.001), respectively. The horizontal/vertical directions of the joint rotation center were 2.25±1.08 mm and 2.20±1.28 mm ( r=0.975, P<0.001; r=0.974, P<0.001), respectively. In terms of functional results at 6 months and 12 months after operation, Harris hip score in MAKO THA group and in conventional THA group was 90.2±5.40/89.9±5.23 ( t=0.188, P=0.851) and 93.9±2.31/94.0±2.61 ( t=0.254, P=0.801), respectively. The WOMAC index was 27.3±10.36/29.1±12.03 ( t=0.623, P=0.535) and 16.4±8.39/15.2±8.35 ( t=0.597, P=0.552). The forgotten joint score was 76.3±6.11/73.7±6.84 ( t=1.560, P=0.124) and 81.7±4.52/80.7±5.11 ( t=0.816, P=0.418), respectively. Transient bleeding in the anterior superior iliac spine pin holes were reported in 4 hips after discharge in MAKO THA group, which were healed after dressing change. No other intraoperative or postoperative complication was reported. Conclusion:Robotic-assisted THA were more accurate and stable than conventional THA. The version of robot-assisted THA was closer to the target of 20° with similar discrepancy in leg length and hip offset. The short-term functional outcomes were similar in the two groups. However, the operation duration of robot-assisted THA was prolonged.

Objective To explore the relationship between the stimulated thyroglobulin ( sTg) and site, number and diameter of metastatic lesions in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) before the first 131 I treatment, and to evaluate the predictive value of sTg for different metastatic sites. Methods A total of 567 DTC patients (179 males, 388 females; age: (45.3±12.3) years) who received the first 131Ⅰ treatment between January 2012 and June 2017 were included. Thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), sTg and thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH) were determined within 1 week before 131 I treatment. Metastases were detected by ultrasonography, CT or 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( FDG ) PET/CT, 131 I whole-body scan, SPECT/CT imaging and pathology. sTg levels of patients with different metastatic sites and different metasta-sis numbers or lesion diameters were compared ( Kruskal-Wallis H test) . Spearman correlation analysis was performed on the number, diameter and sTg level of metastases. The receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve was used to explore the predictive value of sTg before the first 131 I treatment for DTC metasta-sis. Results The median values of sTg in the bone, lung, lymph node metastases groups and non-metasta-sis group were 500.00, 104.40, 27.45, 2.39μg/L, respectively, and there were significant differences, ex-cept for bone and lung metastases groups ( H range: -294.605 to 175.162, all P<0.05) . The sTg levels of lung metastasis group and lymph node metastasis group were both decreased by the order of metastasis num- bers (≥3, =2, =1;H range:-57.887 to 48.763, all P<0.05) . As to the diameter of metastases, the sTg levels of >2.0 cm, 1.1-2.0 cm, and≤1.0 cm subgroups in the lung metastasis group and lymph node me-tastasis group were also decreased in order ( H range: -69.935 to 61.043, all P<0.05) . Spearman correla-tion analysis showed that the number ( rs=0.568, 0.606) and diameter ( rs=0.806, 0.664) of the metasta-ses in the lung and lymph node metastases group were positively correlated with sTg (all P<0.05). Areas under ROC curves for sTg to predict bone, lung and lymph node metastasis were 0.935, 0.843 and 0.791 re-spectively. The threshold values were 197. 65, 23. 21 and 10. 96 μg/L respectively. The sensitivities and the specificities were 91.70％, 79.60％, 67.20％ and 97.20％, 80.80％, 82.70％ respectively. Conclusions Tg level before the first 131 I treatment has a certain predictive value for the metastasis, metastatic site and num-ber or diameter in DTC patients.
