BACKGROUND:In the treatment of skin trauma with active repair,tissue engineering techniques are needed to generate new tissue to replace necrotic tissue.Skin scaffolds have a good application prospect in the field of wound repair.Skin scaffolds need to present three-dimensional porous structures with certain mechanical strength to meet the needs of cell proliferation and division.However,the mechanical strength of the currently used gelatin-based biomaterials is weak and cannot meet the requirements of the use of skin scaffolds. OBJECTIVE:To study the 3D printing process used in the preparation of tissue engineering skin scaffolds by gelatin/oxidized nanocellulose composites,and focus on the relationship between the porosity and mechanical strength of the scaffolds prepared under different process parameters. METHODS:Oxidized nanocellulose whiskers at 10%concentration were extracted from Humulus scandens and then compounded with 5%gelatin to obtain gelatin/oxidized nanocellulose composites.The elastic modulus of gelatin and gelatin/oxidized nanocellulose composite was determined.Skin scaffolds were prepared by 3D printing extrusion molding using gelatin/oxidized nanocellulose composite as the base material.Mechanical and rheological properties of the composite were tested to determine extrusion molding parameters(filling gap 1.5-2.5 mm,uniform distribution of 0.1 mm;air pressure of 160-200 kPa),and the skin scaffold with a three-dimensional porous structure was prepared.The compressive performance of the skin scaffold was tested and compared with the finite element analysis results.The relationship between the filling gap and the porosity and mechanical strength of the scaffold was demonstrated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The elastic modulus of 5%gelatin was increased by 8.84 times by adding 10%oxidized nanocellulose whisker.A gel filament with a diameter of 1 mm was obtained by extrusion at the air pressure of 160 kPa.When the filling gap increased from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm,the theoretical porosity of the scaffold increased from 33%to 60%,but the compressive strength decreased from 230 000 Pa to 95 000 Pa.(2)These findings showed that the skin scaffold with theoretical porosity of 50%and elastic modulus of 160 000 Pa was prepared by using 2 mm filling gap.The scaffold had a clear three-dimensional porous structure.

Objective:To explore the status and influencing factors of physical activity, sedentary behavior in middle-aged and elderly patients with stable coronary heart disease, and to provide reference for clinical medical staff to formulate targeted intervention measures.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey. From March to June 2022, a convenience sampling was used to select 378 middle-aged and elderly patients with stable coronary heart disease in the ward and clinic of Department of Cardiology, Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University. The general information questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Adult Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart, the Self-efficacy for Chronic Disease Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale were used for investigation.Results:The total metabolic equivalent of physical activity and sedentary time in middle-aged and elderly patients with stable coronary heart disease were 31.40 (21.73, 49.67) MET-h/w and 8(7, 9) h/d respectively. The 39.7% (150/378) patients reached physical activity guidelines recommendations and 61.4% (232/378) patients had a sedentary time ≥ 8 h/d. The 19.0% (72/378) patients were identified as physically active/low sedentary group, 20.6% (78/378) patients were identified as physically active/high sedentary group, 19.6% (74/378) patients were in physically inactive/low sedentary group and 40.7% (154/378) patients were in physically inactive/high sedentary group. The stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that sedentary behavior, working status, kinesiophobia, objective support and disease duration had significant impacts on physical activity ( t values were -9.81-2.67, all P<0.05). The influencing factors of sedentary behavior were physical activity, objective support, support utilization, gender, educational level and kinesiophobia ( t values were -10.77-4.63, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The status of physical activity, sedentary behavior in middle-aged and elderly patients with stable coronary heart disease is not good. Medical staff should intervene corresponding influencing factors to reduce the risk of physical inactivity and high sedentary behavior in this group.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinical characteristics and antibody distribution as well as evaluate the transfusion efficacy in unexpected antibody positive patients. 【Methods】 A total of 12 235 patients from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 who hospitalized in our hospital and applied for blood transfusion were selected, and those with unexpected antibody were included. The clinical data, including gender, age, diagnosis, blood type, history of transfusion and pregnancy were collected for antibody distribution analysis. Patients who received transfusion were grouped according to the DAT results and the components of red blood cells transfused, and the Hb values of each group before and after transfusion were compared. 【Results】 Among12 235 patients, 118 were positive for antibody screening, with a prevalence of 0.96%. The antibodies from Rh system were the most common (27.43%, 48/175), followed by MNS system (8.57%, 15/175) and Lewis system (6.29%, 11/175), mainly anti-E (18.29%, 32/175), anti-M (8.00%, 14/175) and anti-Lea (5.71%, 10/175). In addition, 62 transfused patients were divided into group A with suspended red blood cell transfusion and group B with washed red blood cell transfusion for positive DAT, and group C for negative DAT. Hb values (g/L) pre- and post-transfusion were 59.19±15.67 vs 77.52±15.09 in group A, 56.35±14.08 vs 74.44±15.63 in group B, 56.00±12.06 vs 75.00±4.73 in group C, respectively. The Hb values of post-transfusion for three groups were all higher than those of pre-transfusion (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Anti-E from Rh system is the most common antibody in patients with unexpected antibody. Appropriate red blood cells transfusion with Hb increases by an average of 6-7 g/L per 1 U of red blood cells indicating good transfusion efficacy. For positive DAT patients, transfusion of suspended red blood cell is feasible.

【Objective】 To retrospectively analyze the characteristics of blood transfusion compatibility detection in patients with delayed serologic transfusion reaction ( DSTR), in order to provide reference for safe and effective blood transfusion in clinical practice. 【Methods】 From April 2020 to July 2021, 6 samples of patients who applied for blood type identification, unexpected antibody screening and transfusion from the Third People′s Hospital of Chengdu or People′s Hospital of Sichuan Province were collected. Microcolumn method was used for identification of ABO and RhD blood type of patients; unexpected antibody screening, blood cross-match, antibody identification and direct anti-human globulin tests were also conducted. The sensitizing antibodies on the surface of red blood cells were identified by acid release solution, and the antigen-antibody reaction was enhanced by polyethylene glycol. The patients′ own red blood cells and input red blood cells were separated by capillary high-speed centrifugation, and the surface antigens of red blood cells were detected by serological method. Meanwhile,the characteristics of patients before and after transfusing antigen-positive red blood cells were summarized. 【Results】 Anti-E was detected in the plasma of patients 1 and 2, and anti-c,-E were detected in the red blood cell release solution, while anti-C, anti-E, anti-JKa and anti-Fyb were detected in the plasma and red blood cell release solution of patients 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively. After capillary high-speed centrifugation, antigen-positive red blood cells were detected in the distal end of the blood samples of 6 patients. 【Conclusion】 For patients with multiple blood transfusions and a recent history of blood transfusion, when newly emerging erythrocyte antibodies with clinically significance, direct anti-human globulin test(+) or erythrocyte antibody screening(+) are detected, and the patient has no clinical symptoms of hemolysis, it should be suspected as DSTR occurrence, and the transfusion reaction investigation procedure should be initiated in time.

Bladder wall cysts are clinically rare, and even rarer when occurring simultaneously with bladder cancer. In this paper, we reported a patient with bladder cancer combined with a bladder wall cyst, who was admitted due to the urinary frequency and gross hematuria. Preoperative ultrasound and CT examination revealed a tumor in the left and right anterior wall of the bladder respectively. The cystoscopy showed low-grade uroepithelial carcinoma of the left wall of the bladder and occupancy of the right anterior wall of the bladder. Transurethral plasma enucleation of bladder tumor and suprapubic small incision partial cystectomy was performed. Postoperative pathology confirmed high-grade uroepithelial carcinoma of the left wall of the bladder and cyst of the right wall. There was no recurrence or metastasis 15 months after surgery.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of hypertensive retinopathy (HRP) in a non-diabetic population over 30 years old during routine health examinations.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study of a non-diabetic population over 30 years of age. The study was conducted during routine health examinations at the Tongren Hospital, Beijing, from January to December 2020. Fundus photographs were taken, and data including medical history, height, weight, and blood pressure were collected. Routine laboratory examinations were performed. The study population was divided into hypertension, transient hypertension, and non-hypertension groups. The prevalence of HRP was compared among the three groups. OR and 95% CI of HRP risk factors was estimated by binary logistic regression, adjusted for age and gender. Results:The prevalence of HRP was 4.3% in the non-diabetic population over 30 years old. Adjusted for age, gender, and systolic blood pressure, the prevalence of HRP in hypertension and transient hypertension groups, was both higher than in the non-hypertension group [ OR(95% CI) of 3.11(2.25-4.30) and 1.72(1.21-2.45), respectively]. The proportion of grade 1-2 HRP was higher (76.2%). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of grade 3 HRP among the three groups. Adjusted for age and gender, systolic blood pressure and creatinine clearance rate were independent risk factors for HRP in the hypertension group [ OR(95% CI): 1.22(1.01-1.48) and 1.66(1.12-2.46)] and transient hypertension group [ OR(95% CI): 1.48(1.10-2.06) and 1.95(1.03-3.46)]. SBP and DBP were independent risk factors for HRP in the non-hypertension group [ OR(95% CI): 1.68(1.07-2.63) and 1.61(1.06-2.44)]. Conclusions:There was a high prevalence of HRP among the non-diabetic population over the age of 30 and there was still relatively high risk of grade 3 HRP among the normotensive population.
