In liver tumor surgery, owing to the characteristics such as the abundant blood supply of the liver and the abnormal hyperplasia of tumor blood vessels, the risk of intraoperative hemorrhage is significantly elevated. Frequently, it is necessary to rely on allogeneic blood transfusion to maintain hemodynamic stability. It is well established that allogeneic blood transfusion poses risks such as immunosuppression and transmission of infectious agents, which may compromise postoperative recovery and long-term patient outcomes. Intraoperative autologous blood transfusion (IOABT) serves as a crucial strategy for blood conservation. The use of allogeneic blood can be effectively reduced by recovering, washing, and centrifuging blood from the patient's surgical field before transfusion to the patient. This article provides an overview of the application and research advancements in IOABT technology within the context of liver tumor surgery. It outlines the evolution of blood salvage techniques, core operational principles, and strategies to mitigate tumor cell dissemination, including the use of leukocyte filters and irradiation. Furthermore, it examines the clinical efficacy and safety of IOABT in both liver resection and liver transplantation, with particular attention to the potential risk of tumor cell reinfusion. Current evidence does not indicate an increased risk of tumor recurrence associated with this technique. Looking ahead, the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, nanobiotechnology, and immunotherapy holds promise for further enhancing IOABT, ultimately enabling safer and more precise perioperative blood management strategies for patients undergoing liver tumor surgery.

[Abstract] [Objective] To construct inducible immortalization gene vectors for transfection into primary cells, enabling the establishment of a conditionally immortalized cell line that support their sustained cultivation and proliferation in vitro. [Methods] Using gene homologous recombination technology, the coding sequences (CDS) of immortalization genes-including human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), simian virus 40 large T antigen (SV40LT), acute myeloid leukemia fusion genes NUP98-KDM5A (N/K) and CBFA2T3-GLIS2 (C/G), as well as the proto-oncogene KRAS were precisely inserted into the tetracycline (Tet)-inducible eukaryotic expression lentiviral vector pLV2-TRE3GS-EGFP-MCS-3×FLAG-hPGK-Tet-On-SV40-Neo and the transposon PB-TRE3G-3×FLAG-T2A-Puro-SV40-PA. Lentiviral packaging, cell transfection, mRNA expression analysis, Western blotting for protein detection, green fluorescent protein (GFP) visualization, and cell proliferation assays were conducted to evaluate transfection efficiency and assess the regulatory effects of Tet on gene expression in 293T and MEF cells. [Results] The Tet-inducible lentiviral vectors pLV2-Tet-SV40LT, pLV2-Tet-N/K, and pLV2-Tet-C/G, along with the transposon vectors PB-Tet-hTERT, PB-Tet-SV40LT, PB-Tet-N/K, PB-Tet-C/G, and PB-Tet-KRAS, were successfully constructed. In 293T cells, the expression levels of all target genes were upregulated after transfection. In MEF cells, the immortalizing functions of SV40LT and N/K were validated. By modulating Tet addition, cell proliferation levels were effectively regulated, leading to the successful establishment of conditionally immortalized pLV2-SV40LT-MEF and pLV2-N/K-MEF cell lines. [Conclusion] The construction of Tet-inducible immortalizing gene vectors provides a technical foundation for establishing conditionally immortalized primary cell lines, thereby facilitating research on the large-scale in vitro production and expansion of blood cells, such as erythrocytes and platelets.

Low dose radiation (LDR) is a relatively low dose, but it is important in the fields of occupational health, medical radiation protection and environmental protection. Therefore, the effects of LDR on DNA damage repair and its potential mechanisms have attracted increasing attention. LDR mainly acts on DNA molecules in direct or indirect ways, leading to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), which then triggers DNA damage, forms cluster damage, and induces DNA damage repair, which has a potential impact on organisms. However, long-term LDR exposure may lead to dysfunction of the DNA repair system and increase the risk of accumulating DNA damage. LDR-induced DNA damage response is an adaptive response, with DNA damage repair being one of its main mechanisms. The repair of DSBs is particularly important, with the main repair methods including homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining. LDR may also trigger adaptive responses by activating immune cells, enhancing cellular antioxidant capacities, and through varies of specific biological mechanisms such as immune/inflammatory response and antioxidant responses. The biological effects of LDR mainly include cell stress response, cell cycle regulation and bystander effect. In the future, it is necessary to further explore the molecular mechanism of LDR's impact on organism health and evaluate its impact on radiation risk assessment and individualized protective measures, to better understand the basic principles of radiation biology and provide scientific basis for radiation protection, risk assessment and injury treatment.

Objective To analyze and set up the effective dose of different ionizing radiation for tunnel construction workers. Methods A total of five tunnels constructed using drilling and blasting methods were selected as the research subjects using the convenient sampling method. The workplace γ radiation effective dose, radon concentrations, and radioactive activity concentrations were detected, and on-site surveys were conducted to estimate the internal and external irradiation doses and total effective doses for workers in different work sites. Results Radiological hazards in tunnels constructed using drilling and blasting methods included radon and its progeny, γ radiation, radioactive dust (uranium-238, radium-226, thorium-232, and potassium-40) and others. The average total effective dose of ionizing radiation exposure for tunnel construction workers was (6.730 1±1.541 1) mSv. The average dose of radon and its progeny was (6.163 0±1.512 8) mSv, radioactive dust was (0.014 6±0.009 1) mSv, γ radiation was (0.552 6±0.138 7) mSv. The dose of radioactive dust of radon and its progeny was 0.24%. Radon and its progeny contributed more to the radioactive dose than radioactive dust and γ radiation (all P<0.05). Among all the radioactive dusts, the dose contribution ranked from highest to lowest was thorium-232, uranium-238, and radium-226. Conclusion For tunnel construction workers, the largest contribution to the effective dose of ionizing radiation exposure is from radon and its progeny for internal irradiation, followed by γ radiation for external irradiation. The contribution of radioactive dust to internal irradiation dose can be considered negligible.

【Objective】 To optimize the existing spin-EB method and promote human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) differentiate into megakaryocytes (MKs). 【Methods】 In this study, the initial inoculation amount of hiPSCs was increased from 3 500 cells/well to 8 000 cells/well, and the size of EB was increased. By observing the generation time of EB- hematopoietic cells during differentiation, and detecting the proliferation of CD34⁺ hematopoietic progenitor cells and CD41⁺ MKs in different stages, it was studied whether the optimized scheme could promote the differentiation of hiPSCs into hematopoietic progenitor cells(HPCs) and MKs. 【Results】 By increasing the initial inoculation amount of hiPSCs and the size of EB, the differentiation of hiPSCs into HPCs and MKs and the cell production efficiency can be promoted. 【Conclusion】 Our research describes an optimized and repeatable differentiation method, which can produce hematopoietic progenitor cells and mature MKs from hiPSCs in a relatively short time with higher yield. It is of great clinical significance and broad scientific research prospect to continuously optimize the culture scheme of hiPSCs differentiation to produce MKs and platelets in vitro, and to promote large-scale platelet generation in vitro in transfusion medicine.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in treatment of lymphoma.Methods:The clinical data of 41 lymphoma patients undergoing autologous peripheral blood HSCT at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University between January 2014 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 6 cases of Hodgkin lymphoma and 35 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The mobilization regimens included chemotherapy drugs + granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) + thrombopoietin (TPO) or chemotherapy drugs + G-CSF. The pre-conditioning schemes before transplantation were listed as follows: BEAM (mustine + cytarabine + etoposide + melphalan) regimen + decitabine in 26 patients, BEAM regimen in 12 patients, BEAM regimen + chidamide in 3 patients. The progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), related complications, prognoses after transplantation were observed. The effects of clinical staging, B symptom,International Prognostic Score Index (IPI), extranodal involved sites, hemoglobin (Hb), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), β 2-microglobulin (β 2-MG), transplantation regimen and the status before transplantation on PFS and OS after transplantation were evaluated. Results:Among 41 patients, 37 patients (90.24%) achieved complete remission (CR), 2 patients (4.88%) achieved partial remission (PR) and 2 patients loss assessment data (4.88%) before autologous peripheral blood HSCT. The median karyocyte count was 12.74×10 8 /kg [(3.91-22.68)×10 8/kg] in 24 patients with the complete data of stem cell collection, the median CD34 positive cell count was 6.74×10 6/kg [(0.91-50.47)×10 6/kg]. All 41 patients had hematologic reconstruction. The median time of platelet implantation was 11 d (7-32 d) and the median time of granulocyte implantation was 9 d (8-16 d). All patients achieved CR after transplantation and no one case had transplantation-related death. By the end of follow-up, 33 cases (80.49%) had no progression of disease, 8 cases (19.51%) died. The OS rates of 12-month, 24-month and 72-month were 93.4%, 85.3% and 60.9%, respectively after transplantation. The PFS rates of 12-month, 24-month and 72 month were 93.3%, 84.0% and 84.0%, respectively. Median PFS and OS had not been reached. There were no statistically significant differences in the PFS and OS of patients with different gender, clinical staging, B symptom, IPI score, extranodal involved sites, Hb, LDH, β 2-MG and the status before transplantation(all P > 0.05) . The PFS and OS of patients receiving BEAM regimen + decitabine were better than those of patients receiving BEAM regimen alone (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Autologous peripheral blood HSCT is effective in treatment of lymphoma. Moreover, BEAM regimen + dicitabine preconditioning regimen can achieve longer survival time compared with BEAM regimen alone.
