Although primary vesical calculi is an ancient disease, the mechanism of calculi formation remains unclear. In this study, we established a novel primary vesical calculi model with d,l-choline tartrate in mice. Compared with commonly used melamine and ethylene glycol models, our model was the only approach that induced vesical calculi without causing kidney injury. Previous studies suggest that proteins in the daily diet are the main contributors to the prevention of vesical calculi, yet the effect of fat is overlooked. To assay the relationship of dietary fat with the formation of primary vesical calculi, d,l-choline tartrate-treated mice were fed a high-fat, low-fat, or normal-fat diet. Genetic changes in the mouse bladder were detected with transcriptome analysis. A high-fat diet remarkably reduced the morbidity of primary vesical calculi. Higher fatty acid levels in serum and urine were observed in the high-fat diet group, and more intact epithelia in bladder were observed in the same group compared with the normal- and low-fat diet groups, suggesting the protective effect of fatty acids on bladder epithelia to maintain its normal histological structure. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the macrophage differentiation-related gene C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 14 (Cxcl14) was upregulated in the bladders of high-fat diet-fed mice compared with those of normal- or low-fat diet-fed mice, which was consistent with histological observations. The expression of CXCL14 significantly increased in the bladder in the high-fat diet group. CXCL14 enhanced the recruitment of macrophages to the crystal nucleus and induced the transformation of M2 macrophages, which led to phagocytosis of budding crystals and prevented accumulation of calculi. In human bladder epithelia (HCV-29) cells, high fatty acid supplementation significantly increased the expression of CXCL14. Dietary fat is essential for the maintenance of physiological functions of the bladder and for the prevention of primary vesical calculi, which provides new ideas for the reduction of morbidity of primary vesical calculi.

【Objective】 To explore and evaluate the application of blood intelligent management platform (scheme) based on the Internet of Things(IoT)in the clinical blood management for hospitals. 【Methods】 Based on radio frequency identification technology (RFID), smart blood refrigerators, IoT blood shipping containers, automated blood bank systems, smart blood management software, etc. were developed and integrated as an IoT blood intelligent management platform (scheme). The blood storage, management software and hardware systems were organically combined, and the blood storage equipment was moved forward to the clinical departments to solve the concerns of clinicians. 【Results】 The in-depth integration of IoT technology, RFID and refrigeration technology has built an RFID-based IoT blood management solution, which integrates blood storage, transfusion, and quality control management, also realizes the entire process of supervision and traceability of clinical blood transfusion. The forward movement of blood bank to the clinical departments and the implementation of electronic cross-matching streamlined and optimized the clinical blood flow. The waiting time of patient′s for blood transfusion was shortened from (40±10) min to less than 2 min. The whole process of cold chain logistics ensured the storage quality of blood products issued, so that the clinical departments can return the untransfused blood and Blood Transfusion Department can reissue it to other hospitals. 【Conclusion】 IoT blood intelligent management based on RFID realizes the intelligent management of clinical blood transfusion and blood information traceability. The forward movement of blood bank to the clinical departments improves the efficiency of clinical blood transfusion, avoids the waste of blood source, and ensures the safety of blood transfusion. It is worth promoting in the whole process of blood transfusion.

0.999). The relative standard deviation (RSD) of chromatogram area was less than 1.0% for all of them after six successive injections. The detection limit was 0.05 ?g/mL for norephedrine (NE), 0.04 ?g/mL for norpseudoephedrine (NPE), 0.1 ?g/mL for E and PE, and 0.2 ?g/mL for mephedrine (ME) and mepseudoephedrine (MPE), respectively (S/N≥3). The recovery rate was more than 97.1% for six ephedrine alkaloids. Under this method system, all of the above-mentioned six samples were tested and found to contain some of the impurity at different levels. Conclusion This developed method, which is very simple, perfect precision, high sensitivity, and selectivity, can be used for the qualitative and quantitative determination of impurities of ephedrine alkaloid-type samples.
