[Objective] To use Platelet Additive Solution Ⅲ M to suspend concentrated platelets and evaluate their quality at different storage periods, in order to investigate the optimal ratio of Ⅲ M to plasma in the medium for storing concentrated platelets. [Methods] Disposable plastic blood bags with platelet storage bags were used to collect whole blood from healthy voluntary blood donors, and concentrated platelets were collected by plasma-rich method, with a volume of about 50 mL and ≥4.0×10¹⁰ platelets contained in each bag. According to the Platelet Addictive Solution ⅢM/plasma volume ratio in the medium of suspended platelets, the platelets were divided into 3 groups: control group (plasma only), experimental group 1(Platelet Addictive Solution ⅢM/plasma volume ratio of 6.5∶3.5) and experimental group 2 (low plasma group, Platelet Addictive Solution ⅢM/plasma volume ratio of 9∶1), each group of 50 samples. Three groups of platelets were stored at (22±2) ℃ at a flat-bed shaker, and 5 mL were sampled by sterile connection at day 1, 3, 5 and 7 respectively to detect platelet count, pH value, lactate dehydrogenase, CD62P positive rate and Annexin V positive rate. All the data were analyzed with SPSS24.0 software. One-way ANOVA was employed to compare the differences among three groups. In order to pairwise comparisons between means of multiple samples, Bonferroni method was applied. [Results] With the extension of storage time, the platelet count decreased and the Annexin V positive rate increased in the 3 groups, and the difference of the 3 groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The pH value decreased in the 3 groups, with values at day 1, 3, 5 and 7 of 7.44±0.13 vs 7.44±0.14 vs 7.41±0.11, 7.31±0.68 vs 7.43±0.23 vs 7.22±0.12, 7.30±0.15 vs 7.42±0.14 vs 7.17±0.12, 7.29±0.33 vs 7.26±0.18 vs 7.04 ± 0.12, respectively. The pH decline in the control group and experiment group 1 was minor, with no statistically significant difference, but experiment group 2 showed relatively larger decreases in day 5 and day 7, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). LDH concentrate was elevated in 3 groups (mmol/L), with values at day 1,3,5 and 7 of 169.62±99.33 vs 105.80±150.71 vs 77.14±105.38, 225.10±112.86 vs 116.00±72.77 vs 94.42±88.74, 249.42±79.55 vs 119.00±53.51 vs 118.35±80.39, 253.34±86.95 vs 147.71±90.71 vs 124.68±128.68 respectively. Compared with the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Experimental group1 had the smallest increase; CD62P positive rate increased in 3 groups (%), with values at day 1, 3, 5 and 7 of 26.22±11.74 vs 23.48±12.48 vs 40.49±11.86, 41.29±8.36 vs 33.53±25.64 vs 50.42±22.36, 59.59±10.13 vs 36.39±23.10 vs 50.94±20.50, 72.92±15.44 vs 55.54±23.65 vs 61.89±18.82 respectively. Compared with the control group, the increase in experiment group1 was smaller, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). [Conclusion] Platelet Addictive Solution ⅢM/plasma volume ratio of 6.5∶3.5 is superior to traditional plasma in maintaining platelet quality during the in vitro preservation period of platelets.

Objective:To retrieve, evaluate and summarize the relevant evidence for respiratory management in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and provide reference for clinical nursing.Methods:The best practices, guidelines, expert consensus and other evidence on respiratory management in ALS patients were systematically retrieved from dometic and foreign relevant guide websites, professional associations and databases. The retrieve period was from January 1, 2016 to April 15, 2023. After the literature quality evaluation, the evidence was extracted from the literature that meets the quality standards.Results:A total of 12 references were included, including 3 guidelines, 1 expert consensus, 1 evidence summary, 4 systematic reviews, and 3 randomized controlled trails. The 25 pieces of evidence were summarized from the patients with ALS, including respiratory assessment, mechanical ventilation, secreta management, and respiratory rehabilitation.Conclusions:This study summarizes the best evidence on respiratory tract management in patients with ALS, which is convenient for clinical medical personnel to carry out more targeted and scientific respiratory assessment, intervention and guidance for patients with ALS.

Objective To analyze the clinical,pathological and CT features of mediastinal carcinoid so as to improve the diagnostic accuracy.Methods The clinical,pathological and imaging data of 4 patients with mediastinal carcinoid were analyzed retrospectively.Results All 4 patients were elderly male,in which 3 cases had elevated serum neuron specific enolase(NSE)before operation and other one was not examined.All tumors were atypical carcinoid with Ki-67 expression of 5％-25％and positive expression of Syn,CD56,CK and CgA.The CT showed the lateral mass on the left(n=3)or both(n=1)sides of the anterior mediastinum,3 of which grew along the vascular space and could not be clearly demarcated from the pericardium and cardiovascular system.The lesions were large with irregular shape in 3 cases and round shape in 1 case,with heterogeneous density in 3 cases and homogeneous density in 1 case,with intratumoral calcification in 2 cases.Contrast enhanced CT showed the lesions with mild or moderate progressive enhancement,3 of which had supplying vessels from internal thoracic artery.The enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes were found in 3 cases and bone metastasis was in 1 case.Conclusion Mediastinal carcinoid is more common in elderly male,usually with elevated serum NSE.CT shows lateral mass in the anterior mediastinum with heterogeneous density,intratumoral calcification,mild or moderate progressive enhancement,and supplying vessels from internal thoracic artery.The larger lesion is indistinguishable from the adjacent lung tissue and cardiovascular system,usually with intrathoracic and extrathoracic lymph node metastasis.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence for the management of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in patients undergoing assisted reproductive therapy.Methods:Evidence related to the management of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in patients undergoing assisted reproductive therapy,including guidelines,clinical decision,best clinical practice,systematic evaluation,expert consensus and evidence summary and related original research were systematically searched in UpToDate,BMJ Best Practice,World Health Organization(WHO)website,Guidelines International Network(GIN),National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence(NICE)website,National Guidelines website,American Society for Reproductive Medicine(ASRM)website,New York Academy of Sciences(NYAS)website,Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)database,Cochrane Library,CINAHL,PubMed,Wanfang database,CNKI,and China Biomedical Literature Database from inception to May 31,2024.Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature,and a senior researcher made the final decision for literature inclusion.Results:A total of 15 articles were included in the study.Following quality assessment,one article was excluded.The remaining 14 articles included 5 practice guidelines,3 systematic reviews,2 expert consensuses,1 evidence summary,and 3 from UpToDate.Ultimately,27 pieces of evidence were identified across five key aspects:risk assessment,disease monitoring,early prevention,institutional management and health education.Conclusion:The updated evidence indicates that the monitoring and prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome should start early,personalized treatment plans should be provided for patients,and the rational allocation of treatment resources needs to be promoted to enhance effective management of ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome.

Voluntary contribution has become the only source of donor lungs in China since 2015. To elaborate the outcomes of patients awaiting lung transplantation (LTx) after the implementation of donation after brain death, we performed a retrospective study that encompassed 205 patients with end-stage lung disease who registered for LTx at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2021. A total of 180 patients were enrolled in the study. The median waiting time was 1.25 months. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) (103/180, 57.2%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (56/180, 31.1%) were the most common diseases in our study population. The mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of patients in the died-waiting group was higher than that of the survivors (53.29±21.71 mmHg vs. 42.11±18.58 mmHg, P=0.002). The mortality of patients with ILD (34/103, 33.00%) was nearly twice that of patients with COPD (10/56, 17.86%) while awaiting LTx (P=0.041). In the died-waiting group, patients with ILD had a shorter median waiting time than patients with COPD after being listed (0.865 months vs. 4.720 months, P=0.030). ILD as primary disease and mPAP > 35 mmHg were two significant independent risk factors for waitlist mortality, with hazard ratios (HR) of 3.483 (95% CI 1.311-9.111; P=0.011) and 3.500 (95% CI 1.435-8.536; P=0.006). Hence, LTx is more urgently needed in patients with ILD and pulmonary hypertension.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of a machine learning model based on radiomics of brain lesions on T 2WI in differentiating multiple sclerosis (MS) from neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). Methods:Totally 223 MS and NMOSD patients who were treated from January 2009 to September 2018 in Beijing Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, Donghu Branch of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, and Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University were analyzed retrospectively, and according to the proportion of 7∶3, 223 patients were completely randomly divided into training set (156 cases) and test set (67 cases). A total of 74 patients with MS and NMOSD who were treated in Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University and China-Japan Friendship Hospital of Jilin University from January 2009 to September 2018 and in Xianghu Branch of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from March 2020 to September 2021 were collected as an independent external validation set. All patients underwent brain cross-sectional MR T 2WI, radiomics features were extracted from T 2WI, and features were selected by max-relevance and min-redundancy and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithms. Then various machine learning classifier models (logistic regression, decision tree, AdaBoost, random forest or support vector machine) were constructed to differentiate MS from NMOSD. The area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristics was used to evaluate the performance of each classifier model in the training set, test set and external validation set. Results:Based on multi-center T 2WI, a total of 11 radiomics features related to the discrimination between MS and NMOSD were extracted and classifier models were constructed. Among them, the random forest model had the best efficiency in distinguishing MS from NMOSD, and its AUC values for distinguishing MS from NMOSD in the training set, test set and external validation set were 1.000, 0.944 and 0.902, with specificity of 100%, 76.9% and 86.0%, and sensitivity of 100%, 92.1% and 79.7%, respectively. Conclusion:The random forest model based on the radiomic features of T 2WI of brain lesions can effectively distinguish MS from NMOSD.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection, RAS/RAF gene mutation and clinicopathological characteristics in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:The Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to detect the gene mutation in the tumor tissues of 138 CRC patients in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from May 2017 to May 2020. At the same time, the venous blood of 138 patients was collected and enriched for CTC genotyping by mRNA in situ hybridization. The correlation between CTC, RAS/RAF gene mutation and clinicopathological features of CRC patients was analyzed.Results:The mutation rates of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF genes were 48.6%(67/138), 5.1%(7/138) and 1.4%(2/138), respectively; The overall positive rate of CTC was 84.1%(116/138). The positive rates of different CTC types were: 23.1%(32/138) in epithelial type, 71.7%(99/138) in mixed type and 12.3%(17/138) in interstitial type respectively. The positive rate of CTC in CRC patients with clinical stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, lymph node metastasis (N1-N3) and distant metastasis (M1) was significantly higher than that in CRC patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, no lymph node metastasis (N0) and no distant metastasis (M0) (all P<0.05). The total number of CTC, mixed CTC and interstitial CTC were positively correlated with clinical stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis (all P<0.05). RAS/RAF gene mutation, gender, age, tumor location and tumor differentiation did not affect the positive rate of CTC (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The results of CTC typing are of great research significance for comprehensive treatment, prognosis assessment and stratified management of CRC, among which the interstitial type of CTC may be a high risk factor for the recurrence and metastasis of CRC.

Objective: To investigate sodium and potassium intakes among individuals undergoing physical examinations in Changsha City, so as provide the evidence for developing nutritional interventions. Methods: The individuals undergoing physical examinations in the Center for Health Management, The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from February 2017 to March 2020 were selected, and their gender, age, history of diseases, history of medications, smoking and drinking behaviors were collected through questionnaire surveys. The blood pressure, height and body weight were measured, and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. The levels of blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and serum creatinine were detected, and the 24-h urinary excretions of sodium and potassium were measured using the Kawasaki method to estimate sodium and potassium intakes. According to the recommended intakes for preventing chronic diseases (PI values) in the Chinese Dietary Reference Intakes (2013 revised version), the gender-, age- and BMI-specific intakes of sodium and potassium were analyzed. Results: Totally 50 543 subjects were enrolled, with a mean age of (45.64±11.89) years. There were 28 555 men (56.50%) and 21 988 women (43.50%), and there were 19 405 overweight individuals (38.39%), 6 276 obese individuals (12.42%), 13 410 smokers (26.53%), 14 740 drinkers (29.16%), 9 217 individuals with hypertension (18.24%), 3 589 individuals with diabetes (7.10%), 18 232 individuals with dyslipidemia (36.07%). The mean sodium intake was (4 143.29±1 216.46) mg/d among the study subjects, and there were 49 277 participants with sodium intakes that exceeded the PI value (97.50%). Higher sodium intakes were found in men [ (4 345.52±1 231.45) mg/d ], individuals at ages of 36 to 45 years [ (4 185.41±1 202.95) mg/d ], obese individuals [ (4 578.94±1 282.66) mg/d ], smokers [ (4 191.71±1 219.91) mg/d ], drinkers [ (4 325.12±1 245.65) mg/d ], individuals with hypertension [ (4 358.89±1 265.70) mg/d ] and individuals with dyslipidemia [ (4 261.60±1 228.86) mg/d ]. The mean potassium intake was (1 986.26±526.42) mg/d among the study subjects, and there were 50 440 participants with potassium intakes that exceeded the PI value (99.80%). Higher potassium intakes were seen in men [ (2 061.94±556.91) mg/d ], individuals at ages of 35 years and below [ (2 027.24±533.37) mg/d ], obese individuals [ (2 133.27±580.25) mg/d ], smokers [ (2 023.08±557.72) mg/d ], drinkers [ (2 048.43±557.53) mg/d ], individuals without hypertension [ (1 994.65±552.63) mg/d ] and individuals with dyslipidemia [ (2 038.22±546.52) mg/d ]. Conclusions Higher sodium intakes and lower potassium intakes than the PI values are found among individuals undergoing health examinations in Changsha City. Health education is recommended to be reinforced to improve sodium and potassium intakes.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between hemoglobin(Hb) level on admission and survival prognosis of patients with hip fracture. METHODS: From February 2016 to October 2018, 249 elderly patients with hip fracture were surgically treated including 62 males and 187 females;the age ranged from 60 to 91(73.67±10.52) years;the time from injury to operation was (6.79±2.27) d. The clinical and laboratory examination results were collected. The Hb level at admission and the mortality at 30, 90, 180 and 360 days after operation were observed. According to the Hb level at admission, the patients were divided into Hb<120 g/L and Hb≥120 g/L groups. The survival conditions of the two groups at 30, 90, 180 and 360 days after operation were compared and analyzed. Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of Hb level on death 30, 90, 180 and 360 days after operation. RESULTS: The mortality rates at 30, 90, 180 and 360 days after operation were 5.22%, 9.24%, 16.87% and 20.48% respectively. The level of Hb at admission was a risk factor for prognosis and death 30, 90, 180 and 360 days after operation(P<0.05). The OR(95% CI) were 2.431(1.475-4.006), 2.625(1.468-4.695), 2.276(1.320-3.925) and 2.082(1.221-3.551) respectively. CONCLUSION The level of Hb at admission can affect the survival and prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture. We should further study how to manage the level of Hb before operation.
