[Objective] To analyze the influencing factors of repeat blood donor lapsing using a zero-inflated poisson regression model (ZIP). [Methods] The blood donation behavior of 12 498 whole blood donors from 2020 was tracked until December 31, 2023. The factors influencing the frequency of blood donations in a given year was analyzed using ZIP, and donors with 0 blood donation in that year were considered to have lapsed. The changes in relevant influencing factors associated with each blood donation were measured and modeled for analysis. [Results] The zero-inflated part of ZIP showed that the risk of lapsing of male blood donors was 2.24 times that of female blood donors (OR 95% CI:1.864-2.696, P<0.001); the risk of lapsing of the 35-44 age group and over 45 age group was respectively 40% (OR 95% CI:0.455-0.790, P<0.001) and 61%(OR 95% CI:0.268-0.578, P<0.001) lower than that of the under 25 age group; the risk of lapsing for those who have donated blood twice and ≥3 times was respectively 50% (OR 95% CI:0.405-0.609, P<0.001) and 81% (OR 95% CI:0.154-0.225, P<0.001) lower than that of first-time donors; the risk of lapsing of those with junior high or high school education was 1.2 times that of those with a college degree or higher (OR 95% CI:1.033-1.384, P<0.05); the risk of lapsing for the divorced group was 2.02 times that of the married group (OR 95% CI:1.445-2.820, P<0.001); the risk of lapsing for those with an income (Yuan) of 10 000 to 50 000, 50 000 to 100 000 and more than 100 000 was respectively 0.67 (OR 95% CI:0.552-0.818, P<0.001), 0.72 (OR 95% CI:0.591-0.884, P=0.002) and 0.67 (OR 95% CI:0.535-0.834, P<0.001) times that of those with an income (Yuan) of less than 10 000. The results of the Poisson part are consistent with the results of the zero-inflated part in terms of age and education level. [Conclusion] Blood donor lapsing is overall related to factors such as gender, age, donation frequency, education, marital status and family income. It's essential to care for those blood donors prone to lapse to retain more regular blood donors.

ObjectiveTo analyze the safety of simultaneous vaccination of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and oral pentavalent human rotavirus live attenuated vaccine (RV5) in age-eligible children in Changning District, Shanghai. MethodsAdverse events following immunization (AEFI) and vaccination information after PCV13 and RV5 vaccination from Jan.1, 2022 to Dec.31, 2023 were collected through the National Immunization Program Information Management System and the Shanghai Immunization Information System in Changning District. We compared the incidence rates of AEFI reports after PCV13 and RV5 standalone and simultaneous vaccination. ResultsPCV13 was administered standalone in 7 654 doses, with 107 AEFI reports and an AEFI reporting rate of 1 397.96/100 000, including 1 371.83/100 000 for general reactions (105 cases) and 26.13/100 000 for abnormal reactions (2 cases). RV5 was administered standalone in 8 114 doses, with 30 AEFI reports and an AEFI reporting rate of 369.73/100 000, all of which were general reactions. PCV13 and RV5 were administered simultaneously in 6 731 doses, with 56 AEFI reports and an AEFI reporting rate of 831.97/100 000, including 802.26/100 000 for general reactions (54 cases), 14.86/100 000 for abnormal reactions (1 case), and 14.86/100 000 for coupling symptoms (1 case). ConclusionThe incidence rates of AEFI reports after PCV13 and RV5 vaccination standalone or simultaneous among age-eligible children in Changning District are within an acceptable range, primarily consisting of general reactions. PCV13 and RV5 simultaneous vaccination did not increase the risk of AEFI incidence.

Objective: To investigate the current status of iron metabolism among apheresis donors in Guangzhou and analyze the improvement effects of health education on iron deficiency in frequent apheresis donors. Methods: Using a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM), a 180-day follow-up was conducted on 261 eligible apheresis donors at the Guangzhou Blood Center from January to July 2024. Hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF), unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC), total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation (TS) were selected as outcome variables. The effects of gender, age group, and number of donations within 180 days on these outcomes were analyzed and modeled. A general linear model (GLM) with repeated measures was applied to 55 donors who received health education interventions, comparing changes in Hb and iron metabolism-related indicators before and after follow-up and health education. Results: No significant difference in Hb levels was observed between first-time and regular apheresis donors, but SF levels were significantly higher in first-time donors (F=6.195, P<0.05). The GLMM revealed that female donors exhibited more significant reductions in Hb (T=-12.546) and SF (T=-5.829)(P<0.05 for both). Age group showed no interactive effects on Hb or SF changes. While number of donations within 180 days had no interactive effect on Hb, SF levels significantly decreased with increased number of donations (using ≥9 donations as the reference group; P<0.05 for all groups). After health education, Hb levels remained unchanged, but SF increased compared to pre-intervention levels (mean difference: -18.571, P<0.05), though a declining trend persisted compared to baseline (mean difference from baseline to post-intervention: 23.068,P<0.05). Conclusion: Female and number of donations are primary factors contributing to SF reduction in apheresis donors. Health education interventions promote SF recovery. Extending donation intervals and reinforcing iron deficiency-related health education may improve iron status in donors.

Objective To investigate the effects of nalbuphine combined with dexmedetomidine on postop-erative recovery quality and pain in patients who undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.Methods A total of 169 patients who underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery at our hospital were included and divided into control group(group C),nalbuphine group(group N),dexmedetomidine group(group D),and nalbuphine combined with dexme-detomidine group(group ND)using randomised numerical table method.Group C received intravenous injection of saline,group N and group ND received intravenous injection of nalbuphine before the end of the surgery,and group D and group ND received pumping of dexmedetomidine before anesthesia induction and during surgery.Compare the postoperative recovery quality score(QoR-40),hemodynamics at different time points,visual analogue scale score(VAS),sedation-agitation scale(SAS),first time out of bed activity and exhaust time,and incidence of nausea and vomiting among four groups.Results The postoperative QoR-40 scores of patients in group ND were better than those in group C and group N(P<0.05),and the QoR-40 scores in group D were better than those in group C(P<0.05).MAP and HR were more stable during the awakening period in group ND and group D(P<0.05).Compared with group C,patients in all three groups had lower VAS scores and SAS scores(P<0.05)and consumed less remedial analgesic medication(P<0.05).In terms of adverse reactions,the incidence of postoperative nausea,vomiting and coughing in the group ND was lower than that in the group C(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of nalbuphine and dexmedetomidine could improve the quality of postoperative recovery and pain in patients under-going laparoscopic bariatric surgery,reduce hemodynamic fluctuations during the patients′ recovery period,reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting,and improve the patients′ prognosis.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system in which neuropathological changes precede cognitive dysfunction and behavioral impairment. Currently, early diagnosis of AD is based on invasive and expensive testing techniques that are difficult to use widely in the clinical setting. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new markers to detect AD at an early stage. The eye, as an extension of the brain, has been found to show earlier onset of ocular pathologic changes in patients with AD compared to brain pathologic changes, such as retinal structural abnormalities, visual dysfunction, retinal abnormal protein accumulation, choroidal thickness changes, decreased corneal nerve fiber density, deposition of abnormal Aβ proteins in the lens, and pupillary light decreased sensitivity of response, etc. This article reviews the ocular pathologic changes in AD patients in recent years to provide new ideas for the early clinical diagnosis of AD.

[Objective] To explore the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou, and to investigate the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. [Methods] A cross-sectional study was conducted among 13 042 whole blood donors from 17 street blood donation sites of Guangzhou Blood Center from May to August 2020. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and mental health status among blood donors in Guangzhou. Ordinal multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between donation frequency and these factors. [Results] It was found that some of 13 042 blood donors had unhealthy habits, such as 6.8% (698/10 214，2 828 missing values) had severe tobacco dependence, 30.6% (3 997/13 042) had low exercise levels, 38.8%（5 056/13 042）had poor sleep quality, and 2.2% (271/12 159，883 missing values) had alcohol dependence. In addition, 2.8% (364/13 042) and 1.3% (172/13 042) of the donors may have moderate to severe depression and anxiety symptoms, respectively. The results of the ordinal multinomial logistic regression model showed that exercise level was significantly negatively correlated with the degree of depression and anxiety among blood donors. With the decrease in exercise level, the possibility of depression and anxiety among donors increased significantly. BMI, household income, education level, marital status, donation frequency, alcohol consumption and smoking had no significant correlation with the mental health status of donors. [Conclusion] Improving the exercise habits of blood donors may help enhance their mental health level. It is recommended that blood station staff strengthen the content of exercise when providing health education to blood donors to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It also suggests that there may be a certain degree of under-diagnosis of mental health problems in the process of health consultation before blood donation, and conducting more comprehensive and effective mental health assessments for blood donors is recommended.

Objective To conduct hazard vulnerability analysis(HVA)in a blood bank,aimed to identify high-risk e-vents and optimize emergency management measures.Methods The risk event evaluation index system was established by referring to the Kaiser model and the situation of Guangzhou Blood Center,and risk events were ranked by risk matrix and Borda count.Results The top five events with the highest risk values identified by Kaiser model were information system e-mergencies(39.61％),extreme weather(38.03％),major public sentiment(37.86％),public health events(37.37％)and policy changes(37.24％).The results of risk matrix and Borda count revealed 1 extremely high-risk indicator as information system emergency,5 high-risk indicators with the highest risk being major public sentiment,11 medium-risk indicators with the highest risk being major medical disputes and 1 low-risk indicator as external fires.Conclusion Conducting HVA in combination with the actual situation of blood banks can effectively identify high-risk events and provide theoretical basis for improving emergency management measures.

Background::Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects approximately 10% of adults worldwide. CM310 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 receptor alpha that blocks interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310 in Chinese adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Methods::This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial was conducted in 21 medical institutions in China from February to November 2021. Totally 120 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of 300 mg CM310, 150 mg CM310, or placebo every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ≥75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score from baseline at week 16. Safety and pharmacodynamics were also studied.Results::At week 16, the proportion of EASI-75 responders from baseline was significantly higher in the CM310 groups (70% [28/40] for high-dose and 65% [26/40] for low-dose) than that in the placebo group (20%[8/40]). The differences in EASI-75 response rate were 50% (high vs. placebo, 95% CI 31%–69%) and 45% (low vs. placebo, 95% CI 26%–64%), with both P values <0.0001. CM310 at both doses also significantly improved the EASI score, Investigator’s Global Assessment score, daily peak pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, AD-affected body surface area, and Dermatology Life Quality Index compared with placebo. CM310 treatment reduced levels of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, total immunoglobulin E, lactate dehydrogenase, and blood eosinophils. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar among all three groups, with the most common TEAEs reported being upper respiratory tract infection, atopic dermatitis, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. No severe adverse events were deemed to be attributed to CM310. Conclusion::CM310 at 150 mg and 300 mg every 2 weeks demonstrated significant efficacy and was well-tolerated in adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Trial Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04805411.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of microRNA-211-5p (miR-211-5p) in regulation of proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and collagen synthesis of human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFBs) via the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/Smad homolog 2 (Smad2) signaling pathway. Methods HSFBs were randomly divided into control, miR-NC, miR-211-5p mimic, anti-miR-211-5p, and miR-211-5p mimic + SB431542 (TGF-β1/Smad2 signaling pathway inhibitor) groups. After 72 hours of continuous culture, quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect miR-211-5p expression, western blot was employed to assess TGF-β1 and Smad2 protein levels, methyl-thiazoldiphenyl-tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to measure cell proliferation, flow cytometry was utilized to analyze apoptosis rates, Transwell chambers were applied to evaluate cell invasion and migration, and western blot was again utilized to quantify type I collagen (Col-Ⅰ) and type Ⅲ collagen (Col-Ⅲ) protein expressions. An animal model of hypertrophic scars was established in rats using a constant temperature and pressure electric scalding apparatus. Following successful modeling, rats in each group received tail vein injections of miR-NC or miR-211-5p mimic. Scar healing was assessed, and histopathological changes in scar tissue were observed via hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Results Compared with the control and miR-NC groups, the miR-211-5p mimic group exhibited increased miR-211-5p, TGF-β1, and Smad2 protein expressions, enhanced cell proliferation, reduced invasion and migration capabilities, decreased apoptosis rates, and elevated Col-Ⅰ and Col-Ⅲ protein expressions (P < 0.05). Conversely, the anti-miR-211-5p group displayed opposite trends, and significant differences were observed between the anti-miR-211-5p and miR-211-5p mimic groups for the aforementioned indicators (P < 0.05). Compared to the miR-NC group, the miR-211-5p mimic group had higher scar healing rates and fibroblast counts (P < 0.05). Compared to the miR-211-5p mimic group, the miR-211-5p mimic + SB431542 group showed reduced TGF-β1, Smad2 protein expressions, and weakened cell invasion and migration capabilities (P < 0.05). Conclusion MiR-211-5p may regulate proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and collagen synthesis of HSFBs by activating the TGF-β1/Smad2 signaling pathway.
