Objective: Data on syncopal donation-related vasovagal reaction (DRVR) collected from 74 blood centers between 2020 and 2023 was statistically analyzed to provide a reference for developing preventive strategies against syncopal DRVR. Methods: Data on blood donation adverse reactions and basic information of donors from 2020 to 2023 were collected through the information management system at monitoring sentinel sites. Statistical analysis was performed on the following aspects of syncopal DRVR: characteristics of donors who experienced syncope, reported incidence, triggers, duration, presence and occurrence time of syncope-related trauma, clinical management including outpatient and inpatient treatment, and severity grading. Results: From 2020 to 2023, 45 966 donation-related adverse reactions were recorded. Of these, 1 665 (3.72%) cases were syncopal DRVR. The incidence of syncopal DRVR decreased with age, being the highest in the 18-22 age group. Incidence was significantly higher in female donors than male donors, in first-time donors than repeat donors, and in university and individual donors than group donors (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among different blood donation locations (P>0.05). The top three triggers were tension, fatigue, and needle phobia or fear of blood. Among syncopal DRVR cases, 60.36% occurred during blood collection, 87.63% lasted for less than 60 seconds, and 5.05% were accompanied by trauma. Notably, 57.14% of these traumas occurred after donor had left the blood collection site. Syncope severity was graded based on required treatment: grade 1 (fully recovered without treatment, 95.50%); grade 2 (recovered after outpatient treatment, 4.02%); and grade 3 (recovered after inpatient treatment, 0.48%). Conclusion: By analyzing the data of syncopal DRVR cases, it is possible to provide a reference for formulating blood donor safety policies.

Objective: To compare the biological characteristics of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived platelet exosomes (hiPSC-Plt-Exos) with those of conventional apheresis platelet exosomes (Plt-Exos), specifically focusing on their differential abilities to enhance the proliferation and migration of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs). Methods: Exosomes were isolated from hiPSC-derived Plt and apheresis Plt concentrate using size exclusion chromatography. These exosomes were then characterized through nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Western blotting. Co-culture experiments into hUC-MSCs were conducted with hiPSC-Plt-Exos and apheresis Plt-Exos, respectively. Their effects on the proliferation and migration of hUC-MSCs were assessed via cell proliferation assays and scratch tests. Results: hiPSC-Plt-Exos and apheresis Plt-Exos exhibited comparable particle sizes, morphological features (such as the characteristic cup-shaped structure), and surface markers (including CD9 and HSP70). Notably, hiPSC-Plt-Exos demonstrated a significantly greater ability to enhance the proliferation and migration of hUC-MSCs compared to apheresis Plt-Exos (P<0.05). These differences provide critical comparative data for their application in various clinical contexts. Conclusion: This study establishes a theoretical foundation for developing precise therapeutic strategies based on hiPSC-Plt-Exos. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity of selecting the appropriate type of exosomes according to the specific disease microenvironment to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.

ObjectiveOur recent study has demonstrated that extracellular acidification promotes lipid accumulation in macrophages via the activation of acid sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to explore the effect of extracellular acidification on macrophage lipophagy and the underlying mechanism. MethodsRAW264.7 macrophages were incubated with 25 mg/Lox-LDL in a pH 6.5 culture medium for 24 h to build macrophage-derived foam cell models induced by extracellular acidification. Then, RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in the acidic medium of pH 6.5 with or without PcTx-1 (ASIC1 specific blocker, 10 μg/L) or Nec-1 (RIP1 specific inhibitor, 20 μmol/L) for 24 h, intracellular lipid accumulation was observed by oil red O staining. The expressions of total ASIC1, plasma membrane ASIC1, RIP1, p-RIP1 Ser166, TFEB, p-TFEB Ser142, LC3 and p62 were measured by Western blot. The co-localization of lipids (indicated by Bodipy) with LC3II (autophagosomes) and LAMP1 (lysosomes) was analyzed by a confocal laser scanning microscopy, respectively. Morphological changes of lipophagy in the cells were observed by using transmission electron microscopy. ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux was determined by cholesterol fluorescence kits. ResultsCompared with pH 7.4+ox-LDL group, the intracellular lipid accumulation in the pH 6.5+ox-LDL group was significantly increased. Meanwhile, the expressions of plasma membrane ASIC1, p-RIP1 Ser166, p-TFEB Ser142, and p62 proteins were elevated significantly, while LC3II protein level and LC3II/LC3I ratio were decreased. Accordingly, compared with pH 7.4+ox-LDL group, the macrophage lipophagy of the pH 6.5+ox-LDL group was inhibited as indicated by the decreased localization of lipid droplets with LC3 and LAMP1, a decrease in the number of lipophagosomes as well as an increase in lipid droplets. Furthermore, ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1)-dependent cholesterol efflux from the macrophages of pH 6.5+ox-LDL group reduced dramatically. However, these above effects of extracellular acidification on RAW264.7 macrophages were abolished by PcTx-1 and Nec-1, respectively. ConclusionThese findings suggest extracellular acidification promotes the phosphorylation of TFEB at Ser142 via activating ASIC1/RIP1 pathway, thereby impeding lipophagy in RAW 264.7 macrophages, and that ASIC1 may be a new potential target for preventing aberrant lipid accumulation diseases including atherosclerosis.

ObjectiveBased on the ultrastructure of enteric nervous system (ENS)-platelet-derived growth factor receptor α positive (PDGFRα+) cell - smooth muscle cell (SMC) network, the effect and mechanism of Shuwei Decoction (舒胃汤) for rats with functional dyspepsia (FD) of liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome were explored. MethodsFifty SD rats were divided into blank group, model group, low-, medium- and high-dose Shuwei Decoction groups randomly, with 10 rats in each group. The blank group was not set up, and the other 4 groups were set up with the modified composite cause (chronic restraint stress + tail irritation + excessive fatigue + diet disorder) for 21 days, resulting in FD model rats with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome. After successful modelling, rats in the low-, medium- and high-dose groups were given 3.78, 7.56 and 15.12 g/(kg·d) of Shuwei Decoction by gavage, respectively, while rats in the blank group and the model group were given 10 ml/(kg·d) of saline by gavage; all of them were given gavage once a day for 14 days. Body mass increase were collected before and after gavage, and compared after the experiment; the elevated cross maze experiment was conducted to observe the percentage of staying time and the percentage of times entering the open arm of rats; the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate were measured by black semi-solid paste; HE staining was used to observe histopathology of the gastric antrum; the Western Blotting and RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression levels of PDGFRα, small conductance calcium activated potassium (SK3), and purinergic G protein-coupled receptor P2Y1 (P2Y1 R), and mRNA expression in gastric antrum; immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the co-localization of PDGFRα with receptor tyrosine kinase (C-kit), protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5), Sk3, and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in gastric sinusoidal tissues; and transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of the ENS-PDGFRα+ cell-SMC network. ResultsHE staining results showed that the mucosal folds of gastric tissue were clear in all groups, no organic lesions such as bleeding, ulceration and swelling were observed, and the arrangement of gastric glands in the lamina propria of gastric sinusoidal tissues in model group and low-dose Shuwei Decoction group was disordered. The arrangement of gastric glands in lamina propria in medium- and high-dose Shuwei Decoction groups was more orderly, and the lesion degree was less than that in model group and low-dose Shuwei Decoction group. Compared with the blank group, the growth value of body mass, the percentage of open arm retention time, the percentage of times entering the open arm, the small intestine propulsion rate, and the gastric empty rate of rats in the model group significantly decreased after gavage; the expressions of PDGFRα, Sk3, P2Y1 protein and mRNA in gastric sinusoidal tissues decreased; the co-localization expression of PDGFRα with C-kit, Sk3, SMC and PGP9.5 significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the ultrastructure of ENS-PDGFRα+ cell-SMC network was damaged without gap junction. Compared with model group and low-dose Shuwei Decoction group, the growth value of body mass, the percentage of open arm retention time, the percentage of times entering the open arm, the small intestine propulsion rate, and the gastric empting rate of rats in medium- and high-dose Shuwei Decoction groups increased after gavage; the expressions of PDGFRα, Sk3, P2Y1 protein and mRNA in gastric sinusoidal tissues increased; the co-localization expression of PDGFRα with C-kit, Sk3, SMC and PGP9.5 significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the ultrastructure of ENS-PDGFRα+ cell-SMC network was intact. Compared with medium-dose Shuwei Decoction group, the protein expressions of PDGFRα, Sk3 and P2Y1, the mRNA expressions of PDGFRα and Sk3, and the co-localization expressions of PDGFRα and C-kit, Sk3, SMC, and PGP9.5 in high-dose Shuwei Decoction group increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionShuwei Decoction can improve the pathological lesion of the gastric antrum in the FD model rats with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome and increase the gastric emptying rate as well as the small intestinal propusion rate. The mechanism of Shuwei Decoction on FD rats with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome is related to the protection of the ultrastructural integrity of ENS-PDGFRα+ cell-SMC network.

Objective:To explore the role of mechanical hemodynamic support (MHS) in mapping and catheter ablation of patients with hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT), report single-center experience in a cohort of consecutive patients receiving VT ablation during MHS therapy, and provide evidence-based medical evidence for clinical practice.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Patients with hemodynamically unstable VT who underwent catheter ablation with MHS at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University between August 2021 and December 2023 were included. Patients were divided into rescue group and preventive group according to the purpose of treatment. Their demographic data, periprocedural details, and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed.Results:A total of 15 patients with hemodynamically unstable VT were included (8 patients in the rescue group and 7 patients in the preventive group). The acute procedure was successful in all patients. One patient in the rescue group had surgical left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, remaining 14 patients received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for circulation support. ECMO decannulation was performed in 12 patients due to clinical and hemodynamic stability, of which 6 patients were decannulation immediately after surgery and the remaining patients were decannulation at 2.0 (2.5) d after surgery. Two patients in the rescue group died during the index admission due to refractory heart failure and cerebral hemorrhage. During a median follow-up of 30 d (1 d to 12 months), one patient with LVAD had one episode of ventricular fibrillation at 6 months after discharge, and no further episodes of ventricular fibrillation and/or VT occurred after treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs. No malignant ventricular arrhythmia occurred in the remaining 12 patients who were followed up.Conclusions:MHS contributes to the successful completion of mapping and catheter ablation in patients with hemodynamically unstable VT, providing desirable hemodynamic status for emergency and elective conditions.

ObjectiveTo analyze the long-term trends of the disease burden of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors in China from 1990 to 2019, and provide scientific recommendations for diabetes prevention and control in China. MethodsDescriptive analysis was conducted on the disease burden data of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors in China from 1990 to 2019, obtained from GBD 2019, encompassing death form diabetes, disability-adjusted life years (DALY), years of life lost (YLL), and years lived with disability (YLD). Joinpoint regression models were employed to analyze the long-term trends in mortality and DALY rates. Furthermore, the study examined the impact of two metabolic risk factors, high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels and high body mass index (BMI) levels, on the disease burden of diabetes. ResultsFrom 1990 to 2019, the overall standardized mortality and DALY rates attributed to metabolic factors for diabetes in the general population in China showed an upward trend, with both average annual percent changes (AAPCs) of 0.1% in the total population. The trend was upward in males with AAPCs of 0.9% and 0.6%, while it was downward in females with AAPCs of -0.4% and -0.3%. As age increased, the disease burden of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors showed an upward trend, with high FPG and high BMI ranking as the top two attributing risk factors. The disease burden of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors was higher in Chinese males than females. ConclusionThe disease burden of diabetes attributed to metabolic factors is increasing among the overall population and particularly among males, while the burden for female is declining. There is a need to increase intervention efforts for males aged 65 and above, provide scientific guidance on residents’ diet and lifestyle habits, and control blood glucose and body weight.
