Object To study the efficacy and potential mechanism of Tongbianling capsule in constipation. Methods The effects of Tongbianling capsule on intestinal motility in normal mice and carbon powder propulsion rate in small intestine of constipation model mice after were observed administration. The potential targets and key pathways of Tongbianling capsule in treating constipation were identified through network pharmacology. To verify the mechanism, the expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT/AKT and CASP3 proteins in mouse colon tissue was detected by the western blot. Results The time for mice to excrete the first black stool was shortened and the number of fecal particles was increased in Tongbianling capsule administration group, and the carbon powder propulsion rate of mice in each Tongbianling capsule administration group was increased. The results of network pharmacology showed that treatment of constipation by Tongbianling capsule may be related to signaling pathways such as PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and 5-HT. The protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT/AKT, and CASP3 in mouse colon tissue could be significantly downregulated in administration group. Conclusion Tongbianling capsule could effectively promote intestinal peristalsis in mice, increase the frequency of defecation, and effectively treat constipation. The mechanism of its action may be related to the direct or indirect regulation of intestinal motility by the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Direct antiglobulin test (DAT), also known as Coomb's test, is a method used in blood immunology to detect whether the surface of red blood cells is sensitized by immunoglobulin or complement. It is mainly used in the diagnosis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), neonatal hemolytic anemia, hemolytic transfusion reaction and blood matching during blood transfusion. DAT positive has always been the focus of researchers, because it has an important impact on the efficacy of blood transfusion. In recent years, there has been extensive research on the identification of DAT positivity types and the distribution characteristics of diseases in clinical patients, and the study on hemolytic disease of the newborn has also been popular. However, the transfusion safety of DAT-positive blood donors has been a hot topic in the field of blood transfusion for many years. Moreover, there is no clear requirement from the state on the handling of DAT-positive blood and whether DAT-positive blood donors should be deferred from donation. Therefore, this article reviews the serological studies on DAT immunotyping and IgG subtype typing of voluntary blood donors, as well as the impact of DAT-positive blood on blood transfusion safety, in order to provide references for the blood issuance strategy of DAT-positive blood and whether DAT-positive blood donors should be deferred.

Objective To compare the effect of posterior cruciate ligament retaining(CR)and posterior cruciate substituting(PS)prosthesis in knee arthroplasty.Methods 64 patients with knee osteoarthritis were admitted to our department from June 2021 to June 2022 and whom met the selection criteria were randomly selected and divided into observation group and control group(n = 32).CR prosthesis was used in the observation group,and PS prosthesis was used in the control group.Operation time,postoperative drainage volume,difference of hemoglobin(HGB)before and after operation,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative range of motion at 7 d,14 d,45 d,3 months and 1 year were recorded.ROM,visual analog pain Scale(VAS),Hospital for special surgery(HSS)score,and maximum forward and backward displacement of knee joint and the regular radiographs were also recorded,too.Results The two groups were similar in terms of operation time,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative VAS score and maximum anterior and posterior displacement of knee joint,with P values greater than 0.05,which had no statistical significance.The postoperative drainage volume in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The HGB difference of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant differ-ence in ROM and HSS scores between the two groups before surgery;the ROM and HSS scores of the control group at 7,14 and 45 days after surgery was better than that of the observation group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05);the ROM and HSS scores of the two groups at 3 months after surgery was not statistically significant.The ROM and HSS scores in the observation group was better than that in the control group at 6 months and 1 year after operation,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusions CR prosthesis is superior to PS prosthesis in terms of intraoperative blood loss and post-operative drainage volume,which can reduce surgical risk.Both kinds of prosthesis can achieve good knee stability after surgery,while PS prosthesis has better early clinical effect,while CR prosthesis has better long-term clinical effect.

Objective:To investigate the serological and molecular genetic characteristics of a voluntary blood donor with combined FUT1 and ABO blood group gene variants causing para-Bombay and A2 subtype, and to review relevant literature on para-Bombay blood types carrying alleles such as FUT101W.37 and FUT101W.23. Methods:A blood donor with para-Bombay and A 2 subtype who participated in voluntary blood donation at the Dongguan Blood Center in August 2023 was selected as the study subject. Serological tests were performed to identify the ABO blood group, Lewis blood group antigens, and unexpected serum antibodies in the donor. Adsorption-elution test was conducted to detect trace antibodies in the blood donor′s plasma to trace the A, B and H antigens on the red blood cell surface. Sanger sequencing was carried out to analyze the sequences of the FUT1 and ABO genes. Using keywords such as " para-Bombay" " FUT1*01W.37" and " FUT1*01W.23" both in Chinese and English, relevant literature on para-Bombay blood type subjects carrying FUT1*01W.37 and FUT1*01W.23 alleles was retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and PubMed databases, and the retrieval time was set as from the establishment of database to December 2022. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Dongguan Blood Center (No. 2022005), and informed consent of blood donation was obtained from the blood donor. Results:Serological testing of the blood donor revealed inconsistent results between forward and reverse ABO blood typing, negative H antigen on the red blood cell surface, Le(a-b+ ) secretor type for Lewis blood group, and unexpected anti-H antibodies in the plasma, indicating a suspected para-Bombay type. Absorption-elution test suggested the blood type of the blood donor to be para-Bombay and A subtype. Sanger sequencing showed that the donor has harbored homozygous FUT1*(c.35T+ c.803A)/(c.35T+ c.803A) variant, with the FUT1*(c.35T+ c.803A) allele containing a dual nucleotide variant unrecorded by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) FUT1 gene variant database, which was similar to the weakly functional allele of FUT101W. 37(c.803G>A) as recorded by the ISBT database. The ABO genotype was heterozygous ABOA2.05/O.01.02. Combining the results of serological and genetic testing, the blood type of the blood donor was determined to be para-Bombay and A 2 subtypes. Literature review has identified a pregnant women from Qingdao carrying the FUT1*01W.37 allele and 2 individuals carrying a heterozygous FUT1*01W.23 allele. Conclusion:This study has discovered a blood donor with coexisting para-Bombay and ABO subtype blood groups. Based on the characteristics of red blood cell surface antigens, the FUT1*01W.37 as classified as an FUT1 null allele.
