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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of mucin 1 (MUC1) on the proliferation and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its regulatory mechanism. MethodsThe 60 NPC and paired para-cancer normal tissues were collected from October 2020 to July 2021 in Quanzhou First Hospital. The expression of MUC1 was measured by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) in the patients with PNC. The 5-8F and HNE1 cells were transfected with siRNA control (si-control) or siRNA targeting MUC1 (si-MUC1). Cell proliferation was analyzed by cell counting kit-8 and colony formation assay, and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry analysis in the 5-8F and HNE1 cells. The qPCR and ELISA were executed to analyze the levels of TNF-α and IL-6. Western blot was performed to measure the expression of MUC1, NF-кB and apoptosis-related proteins (Bax and Bcl-2). ResultsThe expression of MUC1 was up-regulated in the NPC tissues, and NPC patients with the high MUC1 expression were inclined to EBV infection, growth and metastasis of NPC. Loss of MUC1 restrained malignant features, including the proliferation and apoptosis, downregulated the expression of p-IкB、p-P65 and Bcl-2 and upregulated the expression of Bax in the NPC cells. ConclusionDownregulation of MUC1 restrained biological characteristics of malignancy, including cell proliferation and apoptosis, by inactivating NF-κB signaling pathway in NPC.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of using Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) versus epirubicin for intravesical perfusion after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) in patients with intermediate- to high-risk non-muscle- invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). METHODS From the perspective of China’s health system, a Markov cohort model was constructed based on the ChiCTR-IIR-16008357 study. Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were used as the health outcome measure, with the willingness-to-pay(WTP) threshold set at one time the per capita gross domestic product of China in 2023 (89 358 yuan/QALY). A cost-utility analysis was used to compare the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of the BCG regimen relative to the epirubicin regimen for intravesical perfusion after TUR-BT in patients with intermediate- to high-risk NMIBC in China. In addition, sensitivity analysis was performed. RESULTS The incremental cost of the BCG regimen compared to the epirubicin regimen was 34 309.51 yuan, with an incremental utility of 0.800 QALYs, resulting in an ICER of 42 871.33 yuan/QALY, which is below the WTP threshold. When the WTP threshold was 89 358 yuan/QALY, the probability that the BCG regimen would be acceptable was 77.70% in the probabilistic sensitivity analysis, higher than that of the epirubicin regimen, and the acceptability of the BCG regimen increased with increasing in the WTP threshold. CONCLUSIONS When the WTP threshold was set at one time the per capita gross domestic product of China in 2023, compared to epirubicin, BCG used for intravesical perfusion after TUR-BT in patients with intermediate- to high-risk NMIBC demonstrated better cost-effectiveness.
