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.

Cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) is a highly glycosylated double transmembrane glycoprotein, which is involved in the inflammatory response and immune regulation of the body. It plays a key role in mediating the mechanism of immune-related blood transfusion reactions and regulating the function of immune cells. It has an important impact on blood transfusion safety and has become a current research hotspot. This article reviews and comprehensively analyzes the research progress of the specific role of CD36 in the immune response of blood transfusion and its regulatory mechanism at home and abroad. Combined with clinical cases and experimental data, the pathophysiological mechanism of CD36 in immune response and its immune-mediated blood transfusion safety issues are reviewed. It is expected to provide new theoretical support and practical guidance for the field of blood transfusion safety and promote the further development of blood transfusion medicine.

Objective:
To explore the correlation and lag effects of environmental factors on pediatric respiratory disease visits at hospital, so as to provide scientific basis for disease prediction and optimizing clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
Data from 503 889 pediatric respiratory disease outpatient and emergency visits a central hospital in Minhang District of Shanghai between 2017 and 2019, along with concurrent meteorological data were collected. A distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) was constructed to explore the specific relationship between pediatric respiratory disease consultations and various environmental factors and to quantify the cumulative lag effects of environmental factors on respiratory disease consultations.
Results:
Among the environmental factors, temperature, fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), inhalable particulate matter (PM 10 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2) were associated with pediatric respiratory disease visits. After adjusting for temperature, PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations did not show significant immediate or lag effects. The relative risk (RR) of pediatric respiratory disease visits increased with rising NO 2 concentrations. When NO 2 concentration ≥55 μg/m 3, significant immediate and lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.05, 1.13, 1.17, and 1.21( P <0.05). The RR values showed an inverted “U” shaped relationship with SO 2 concentrations. When SO 2 concentration ≥5 μg/m 3, significant lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.03 , 1.03, and 1.04 ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
High concentrations of NO 2 and SO 2 increase the risk of pediatric respiratory disease visits, with observable lag effects.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the intervention effect of kushenol F (KSC-F) on ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. METHODS Totally 30 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, positive drug group (sulfasalazine, 703 mg/kg), KSC-F 50 mg/kg group (KSC-F50 group), and KSC-F 100 mg/kg group (KSC-F100 group), with 6 mice in each group. Except for the normal group, the mice in the remaining groups were given 3% dextran sulfate sodium solution continuously for 7 days to induce UC model. Concurrently, administration groups received corresponding drug solution intragastrically, once a day, for 10 consecutive days. During the experiment, the changes in body weight and bowel movements of the mice were observed. Disease activity index scoring was performed after the last administration. The histopathological morphology of colonic tissue was examined. The levels of inflammatory factors in the serum and colon tissue were measured. Additionally, the mRNA expression of inflammatory factors, and the protein expressions of inflammation-related proteins [interleukin-1β (IL-1β), forkhead box O1(FOXO1), phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K), phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38 MAPK), phosphorylated p38 MAPK(p-p38 MPAK) and phosphorylated protein kinase B(p- Akt)] were determined in colonic tissue. RESULTS KSC-F could alleviate weight loss and colonic tissue damage in UC mice. KSC- F reduced the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum, as well as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17 and TNF- α in colonic tissue to varying degrees and increased the levels of IL-10 in both serum and colonic tissue (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Moreover, KSC-F decreased the expression levels of IL-1β, IL-17 and TNF-α mRNA, as well as p-PI3K, p-p38 MAPK, and p- Akt proteins in colonic tissue to varying degrees, and increased the expression levels of IL-10 mRNA and FOXO1 protein in colonic tissue (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS KSC-F effectively alleviates UC symptoms in mice by inhibiting PI3K, Akt and p38 MAPK activation, mitigating the release of pro-inflammatory factors such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF- α,promoting the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 secretion, and reducing inflammation-induced colonic tissue damage.

Objective:To explore brain network properties and their relationship with cognitive function in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based graph theory analysis.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. Clinical and imaging data of 21 children with SCP (SCP group) and 32 healthy children (control group) who underwent cranial MRI at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from August 2020 to April 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. 3D-T 1WI, DTI and Wechsler Intelligence Scale were assessed for all subjects. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale included the verbal comprehension index (VCI), the processing speed index (PSI), the work memory index (WMI), and the perceptual reasoning index (PRI), etc., and ultimately the full scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) scores were obtained based on the indices of each subscale. Independent samples t-test was used to analyze the differences in the small world attributes [small-world index (σ), normalized shortest path length (λ), normalized clustering coefficients (γ)], global attributes [global efficiency (Eglob), local efficiency (Eloc), characteristic path length (Lp), clustering efficiency (Cp)] and node attributes [degree centrality(DC), nodal efficiency (Ne), betweeness centrality (Bc), nodal shortest path length (NLp), nodal clustering efficiency, nodal local efficiency] between two groups of children′s brain networks. Brain network indicators with statistically significant differences between the 2 groups were correlated with Wechsler Intelligence Scale scores using Spearman. Results:The FSIQ scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale and the VCI, WMI, PSI, and PRI were lower in the SCP group than in the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). Both groups of children′s brain networks had small world properties. Compared with the control group, Eglob decreased, Lp and λ increased in the SCP group (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, DC and Ne in multiple brain regions decreased, NLp increased in the SCP group (all P<0.05, FDR corrected). Correlation analysis showed that DC in the right parsopercularis was positively correlated with FSIQ, VCI, WMI and PRI( r=0.53, 0.47, 0.47, 0.60, P=0.019, 0.045, 0.044, 0.020, respectively); NLp in the right parsopercularis was negatively correlated with PRI( r=-0.56, P=0.030); Ne in left paracentral, the right parsopercularis, right precentral, right postcentra were positively correlated with PRI( r=0.62, 0.56, 0.53, 0.54, P=0.015, 0.031, 0.044, 0.039, respectively); Ne in the right precentral was positively correlated with WMI ( r=0.48, P=0.039) in the SCP group. Conclusions:There are changes in the topological attributes of global and multiple regional brain networks in SCP. The changes in the attributes of nodes in the right parsopercularis, right precentral, right postcentral, and left paracentral could reflect cognitive dysfunction in children with SCP.

OBJECTIVE To explore the action mechanism of kushenol F (KSCF) in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice. METHODS The potential targets of KSCF intervening in UC were predicted with network pharmacology and molecular docking. C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided by body weight into model group, positive control group (sulfasalazine, 703 mg/kg), KSCF group (100 mg/kg), and normal group, with 6 mice per group. The UC model of mice was induced by dextran sulfate sodium solution. During the modeling period, the mice were given relevant medicine intragastrically, once a day, for 7 consecutive days. After the last administration, the disease activity index (DAI) of the mice was scored; the length of the mice’s colon was measured; pathological changes in the colon tissue of mice were observed; the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in serum, myeloperoxidase (MPO), nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the colon were detected in mice; the expression levels of occludin and ZO-1 in colon tissue of mice were detected; the proportions of CD3+T, CD4+T, and CD8+T lymphocytes in the spleen and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ were detected; changes in colonic microbiota were analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing. RESULTS Results of network pharmacology indicated that KSCF may treat UC by regulating signaling pathways such as phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF- κB). Molecular docking results showed that KSCF bound most stably with NF-κB p65 protein. Animal experiment results demonstrated that, compared with the model group, the pathological characteristics of colon tissue in mice were improved in KSCF group. DAI scores, serum levels of LPS, the levels of MPO,NF-κB p65 phosphorylation and NLRP3 protein expression in the colon, and the proportion of CD8+T lymphocytes in the spleen were reduced significantly (P<0.05). Body weight, SOD levels, expression levels of occludin and ZO-1 in the colon, proportions of CD3+T and CD4+T lymphocytes, and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio in the spleen were significantly increased (P<0.05); the abundance of Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Akkermansia, and Lactobacillus genera were increased, while Proteobacteria decreased; the microbial community structure tended towards that of the normal group. CONCLUSIONS KSCF alleviates UC by restoring intestinal microbial imbalance, enhancing immune response, and inhibiting colonic inflammatory responses, thereby improving intestinal barrier integrity.
