Objective: To analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with red blood cell transfusion reactions, the usage of red blood cell preparations, and the differences in the composition ratio of adverse reactions based on multi-center data from the Haemovigilance Network, in order to reveal the clinical characteristics of red blood cell transfusion and its underlying issues. Methods: Clinical data of patients who experienced transfusion reactions after red blood cell transfusion in the Haemovigilance Network from 2018 to 2023 were collected. The demographic characteristics of patients who experienced transfusion reactions with different types of red blood cell preparations, the utilization of these preparations, and the differences of the composition ratios of transfusion reactions were analyzed. Count data were expressed as numbers (n) or percentages (%), and comparisons between groups were performed using the Chi-square test. Results: Red blood cell transfusion reactions were more common in females (53.56%), with the majority of patients aged 50-69 years (35.54%). The Han polulation accounted for the vast majority of patients (92.77%), and patients in the hematology and obstetrics/gynecology departments had a relatively high proportion of transfusion reactions (13.26% and 14.26%, respectively). Leukocyte-reduced red blood cells and suspended red blood cells were the most common types of transfusion reactions reported among red blood cell preparations. Allergic reactions and non-hemolytic febrile reactions were the most common transfusion reactions, and there were significant differences in the composition ratios of allergic reactions (χ
=869.89, P<0.05) and non-hemolytic febrile reactions (χ
=812.75, P<0.05) across various types of red blood cell preparations. Conclusion: There are differences in the demographic characteristics and composition ratio of transfusion reactions among different red blood cell preparations. The management of red blood cell transfusion reactions should be tailored to patient characteristics and conditions, and the selection and use of blood products should be optimized to reduce or avoid the occurrence of transfusion reactions, such as considering the use of washed red blood cells for patients with a history of transfusion allergies or those prone to allergies.

OBJECTIVE To prepare hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified emodin (EMD)-contained multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) drug delivery system (HA-MWCNTs-EMD) and explore its in vitro inhibitory effect on breast cancer cells. METHODS EMD was loaded onto MWCNTs to prepare a drug delivery system MWCNTs-EMD; subsequently, the system was further modified with HA to obtain the drug delivery system HA-MWCNTs-EMD. The two drug delivery systems mentioned above were characterized. With free EMD as the reference, the drug release in vitro of the above two drug delivery systems was investigated; the uptake of EMD by two breast cancer cells (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 cells) was detected. The impacts of the above two drug delivery systems on the expression of surface glycoprotein differentiation group 44 (CD44), activity, apoptosis and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release of two breast cancer cells were detected. RESULTS The encapsulation efficiencies of MWCNTs-EMD and HA-MWCNTs-EMD were both (63.52±2.74)%, with drug loading rates of (25.01±1.83)% and (12.13± 1.96)%, particle sizes of (865.95±2.16) and (351.86±1.68) nm, polydispersity indexes of 0.54±0.02 and 0.23±0.01, and Zeta potentials of (23.87±0.14) and (-42.79±0.39) mV, respectively. The 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24-hour cumulative release rates of EMD in MWCNTs-EMD and HA-MWCNTs-EMD were significantly lower than those in free EMD, while the cumulative release rate of HA-MWCNTs-EMD was significantly higher than that of MWCNTs-EMD (P<0.05); the EMD uptakes of MWCNTs-EMD and HA-MWCNTs-EMD by the two types of breast cancer cells were significantly higher than their uptake of free EMD (P<0.05). Compared with the free EMD group, the MWCNTs-EMD and MWCNTs-EMD groups showed significantly higher apoptosis rate and LDH release, significantly lower surface CD44 expression (except for the MWCNTs-EMD group) and cell viability in both cell types, and the effect of HA-MWCNTs-EMD was more pronounced (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS A novel drug delivery system HA-MWCNTs- EMD loaded with EMD is developed successfully; the drug delivery system has a certain slow-release effect, which can significantly reduce the activity of breast cancer cells, promote their apoptosis and increase the release of LDH, and the above anti- breast cancer effect is significantly stronger than that of free EMD and MWCNTs-EMD.

Objective: To explore the safety and feasibility of the disconnection of the left renal artery preferentially during robot-assisted inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy for patients with left renal cell carcinoma and tumor emboli. Methods: Clinical data of 7 patients who underwent robot-assisted IVC thrombectomy and radical nephrectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during Dec.2021 and Oct.2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Thrombectomy was performed first,followed by nephrectomy. The “IVC-first, kidney-last”robotic technique was developed to minimize chances of IVC thrombus. When patients in left lateral decubitus position, the left renal artery was severed from the right side through the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta. After removal of thrombus from IVC was completed, patients changed to the right lateral position to complete radical left nephrectomy. Results: Imaging examinations revealed that the median diameter of the renal cell carcinomas was 83(46-99) mm; the median length of the inferior vena cava cancerous emboli was 49(2-91) mm.According to the Mayo classification,the cancerous emboli were gradeⅠ in 2 cases,gradeⅡ in 4 cases,and grade Ⅲ in 1 case.All surgeries were successful.The median operation time was 248(201-331) minutes,blood loss 500(200-1000) mL,and 6 cases required intraoperative blood transfusion.The median time for transition into the intensive care unit was 1(1-4) days,and drainage tube removal 6(5-12) days.Serum creatinine increased significantly in 5 cases,4 of which returned to normal after 1 week,but 1 had renal insufficiency (creatinine 166 μmol/L).Chylous fistula occurred in 1 patient,and lower extremity venous thrombosis developed in 3 patients.Pathological examinations indicated 6 cases of renal cell carcinoma and 1 case of MiT family translocation renal cell carcinoma.During the median follow-up of 17(1-35) months,5 cases were tumor-free,while 2 had lung and retroperitoneal metastases.They received targeted therapy of axitinib combined immunotheraphy and lived with tumors. Conclusion: In the left lateral position for left renal cell carcinoma with cancerous emboli,robot-assisted laparoscopic thrombectomy by crossing the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta and disconnecting the left renal artery first is safe and feasible.

METHODS The practical approach of GCP resident pharmacists participating in dermatological drug clinical trials at our hospital was introduced. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of dermatological drug clinical trials from 2021 to 2024, comparing efficiency and quality indicators between dermatological clinical trials and those of other specialties. RESULTS With the involvement of our hospital’s GCP resident pharmacists throughout, the process for dermatology drug clinical trials was constructed and optimized, a dedicated quality control system was established, and the acceleration strategy for subject enrollment was optimized. The number of dermatological drug clinical trials at our hospital showed a compound annual growth rate of 69.56% from 2021 to 2023. In terms of efficiency indicators, the approval waiting time for dermatological drug clinical trials was (12.31±4.99) days, which was significantly shorter than that of other specialties ([ 19.68±6.09) days, P<0.05]. Regarding quality indicators, the enrollment rate for dermatological drug clinical trials was 75.71%(50.00%,114.48%), which was significantly higher than that of other specialties [51.00%(25.00%,174.17%), P<0.05]. The numbers of first quality control issues ([ 8.31±3.25)items vs.( 11.68±4.49)items] and protocol deviations [5.5(2.0,11.0)times vs. 11.0(5.5,17.5)times] were significantly lower than those of other specialties (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS GCP resident pharmacists significantly enhance the overall efficiency of dermatological drug clinical trials, playing a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and authenticity of drug clinical trials, as well as safeguarding the rights and safety of trial subjects.

ObjectiveTo describe different non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) outcomes among community inhabitants, and further to explore the correlation between bio-indicator level variance and the outcomes. MethodsPhysical indicators (height, weight, waist circumstances, hip circumstances, blood pressure, etc), biochemical indicators [fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, serum triglycerides(TG), serum total cholesterol(TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), liver related transaminase, etc] and clinical imaging (B-scan ultrasonography) were collected during the follow-up from the Songjiang Natural Population Sub-cohort. The identification of NAFLD was supported by the definition criteria from Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non⁃alcoholic fatty liver disease. Paired t-test and multifactorial logistic regression model were used to compare the difference between the indicator level of the subjects from different outcome subgroups and to further analyze the correlation between these indicator variance and different NAFLD outcomes. ResultsDuring a median follow-up time of 2.94 years, 12 076 subjects were involved. The cumulative NAFLD incidence and remission rate were 21.57% and 31.15%, respectively. The proportion of subjects who still had NAFLD was 27.96%. Among subjects with newly-developed NAFLD, indicators including blood pressure, BMI, fasting plasma glucose, and plasma lipid level increased, while in the remission subgroup, blood pressure, BMI(WHR), waist-hip ratio(WHR), and TG level were significantly decreased. Increased level of systolic pressure, WHR, BMI, HbA1c, and LDL-C might be the risk factors to the occurrence of NAFLD. While decreased level of WHR, BMI, TC and LDL-C level and elevated HDL-C level were likely to be the influencing factors of NAFLD remission process. ConclusionThe NAFLD morbidity in the community inhabitants is relatively high. BMI, WHR, fasting plasma sugar and plama lipid level variance may act as the influencing factors towards different NAFLD outcomes.

Renal interstitial fibrosis(RIF) is the main pathological manifestation of chronic kidney disease. Due to the complexity of the mechanism, there is no specific treatment for RIF in clinical practice. The abnormal activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt) signaling pathway and the activation of downstream target genes are key drivers of RIF induction and progression. Traditional Chinese medicine has the characteristics of precise efficacy and minimal toxic side effects, and the occurrence and development of RIF can be regulated by multiple targets and mutual coordination. This review focuses on the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and summarizes the potential targets and regulatory mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of RIF. It is found that various effective ingredients (such as sinomenine, mangiferin, coumarin derivates from Hydrangea paniculata, etc.) and formulas (such as Fushengong decoction, Qi-Bang-Yi-Shen formula, etc.) of traditional Chinese medicine can inhibit fibroblast proliferation, improve inflammation and oxidative stress, maintain mitochondrial stability, and slow down ferroptosis through this pathway, thereby delaying the occurrence and progression of RIF.
