Myasthenia gravis(MG)is an autoimmune disease mainly mediated by autoantibodies that disorders the transmission of excitation at the neuromuscular junction.The predominant clinical manifestation is the muscle fluctuant weakness and fatigability,and the extraocular and skeletal muscles are slightly affected at the early onset for the majority of MG patients.However,there is a rapid progression in a short period of time for a small group,involving the laryngeal mus-cles and respiratory muscles and developing the myasthenia crisis,which severely threatens their lives.It's commonly used for such patients to be rescued by therapeutic plasma exchange(TPE)or intravenous immunoglobulins(IVIG)that rapidly relieves their symptoms of muscle weakness and improves the respiratory function.In recent years,plentiful clinical studies about TPE have emerged,and the clinical value of TPE in improving MG symptoms,exerting early efficacy,reducing the length of ICU hospital stay and its safety has been gradually clarified.This review aims to summarize the clinical research ad-vancement of TPE in the treatment of MG in terms of basic conditions of MG and TPE,the therapeutic efficiency and safety of TPE,and the application of TPE extension technology in the treatment of MG by searching for clinical research articles at home and abroad in the past 5 years,which can provide reference for better clinical application of MG.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Autologous ozonized blood transfusion(AOBT) is a therapy of re-transfusion of 100-200 mL of autologous blood after shaking and agitation with appropriate amount of oxygen-ozone in vitro. The oxidation of blood through the strong oxidation of ozone can enhance the non-specific immune response of the body, regulate the internal environment and promote health. This therapy has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, while no unified standard for the operation process in terms of ozone concentration, treatment frequency and treatment course had been established. This operation process of AOBT is primarily explored in order to standardize the operation process and ensure its safety and efficacy.

【Objective】 To compare the efficacy and safety of transfusion of suspended RBCs and washed RBCs in patients with positive direct Coombs testing results. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was conducted on 98 patients with positive direct Coombs testing results as 2+ or less in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2015 to December 2020. Among them, 31 patients, from January 2015 to December 2016, were transfused with washed RBCs and set as the control group; the other 67 patients, from January 2017 to December 2020, transfused with suspended RBCs, were enrolled as the experimental group. The changes of main laboratory indexes and the incidence of transfusion adverse reactions before and after transfusion of 2 U and 4 U RBCs were compared between the two groups to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transfusion. 【Results】 After 2 U and 4 U transfusion, Hb increased by 12±4.967 (g/L) and 23.78±12.736 (g/L) in the control group, while 12.85±7.109 (g/L) and 22.68±9.832 (g/L) in the experimental group, All transfusions of the two groups were effective, and no significant differences in Hb, TBIL, IBIL and LDH were noticed by groups (P>0.05). No significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions to blood transfusion between the 2 groups was observed (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The transfusion of suspended RBCs is safe and effective in patients with positive direct Coombs testing results as 2+ or less, and the transfusion of washed RBCs was unnecessary.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the association between vitamin D level and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children and adolescents. MethodsRelated English and Chinese databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang Data, and VIP, were searched for studies on the association between vitamin D level and NAFLD in children and adolescents published up to August 2020. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate quality of studies, and RevMan 5.3 software was used for data analysis. ResultsA total of 10 articles were included in the meta-analysis, with 622 patients in the NAFLD group and 1608 in the healthy control group. All 10 articles had an NOS score of ≥6. A pooled analysis of the 10 articles was performed using a random effects model (I2=97%, P＜0.05). The NAFLD group had a significantly lower serum 25(OH) D level than the healthy control group (standardized mean difference=-1.40, 95% confidence interval: -2.07 to -0.72). ConclusionThere is a significant reduction in serum vitamin D level in children and adolescents with NAFLD, which may be associated with the progression and severity of NAFLD.

Through the new training mode of orientation practice, excellent transfusion medical professionals with solid basic knowledge, strong operational skills and high comprehensive quality were cultivated. The establishment of the oriented practice mode of blood transfusion medicine is beneficial to the cultivation and output of high-quality transfusion talents and plays a positive role in promoting the development of transfusion medicine education.

【Objective】 To analyze the root causes of adverse events to insufficient plasma transfusion, so as to explore improvement measures, optimize the transfusion strategy and avoid such adverse events. 【Methods】 The root causes of insufficient plasma transfusion were analyzed by health care failure mode and effect analysis, the targeted improvement measures were formulated and the effect was evaluated. 【Results】 After the improvement, the incidence of adverse events to insufficient plasma transfusion decreased significantly.The risk priority value affecting the safety of blood transfusion decreased from 70 to 8, and the proportion of coagulation function test after blood transfusion increased from 44.61%(1 309/2 934)in 2012 to 80.55% (2 187/2 715)in 2019, and plasma transfusion volume per capital increased from 300 mL to 528 mL. PT and APTT values after plasma transfusion in 2019 significantly increased compared with those in 2012. Meanwhile, the proportion of plasma transfusion in hospitalized patients decreased from 3.16% (2 934/92 838)to 2.12%(2 715/128 352). 【Conclusion】 Risk management of quality and safety of blood transfusion by combing healthcare failure mode, effect analysis and root cause analysis(RCA) can improve the risk awareness of clinical blood transfusion, optimize the proportion of plasma transfusion, and is essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of blood transfusion and improve the prognosis of transfused patients.

【Objective】 To explore platelet antibody production and its influencing factors in common platelet transfusion diseases. 【Methods】 From January 2018 to June 2020, patients who applied for platelet transfusion in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were enrolled. The solid phase agglutination method was used to detect the platelet antibodies of the patients. The platelet antibody positive rate of common platelet transfusion diseases and the types of diseases with higher platelet antibody-positive rates were analyzed. 【Results】 The overall positive rate of platelet antibodies in transfusion candidates was 15.0%. The 21~40 years old age patients(21.5%), females(18%) had a significantly higher platelet antibody positive rate than other ages and males(12.1%) (P<0.05). Besides, patients with a history of blood transfusion and pregnancy also had a higher platelet antibody positive rate. Tumors, blood and hematopoietic organ diseases, and digestive system diseases have higher platelet antibody-positive rates, which were 24.0%, 18.3%, and 16.6%, respectively. The platelet antibody positive rate varies significantly in common platelet transfusion diseases. As to transfused patients stratified by diseases, the platelet antibody positive rate of myeloid leukemia(48.7%)was higher than that of other diseases(P<0.05). In comparison, the platelet antibody positive rate of non-transfusion patients with liver failure and miscellaneous diseases(46.7%)was higher than that of others (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The positive rate of platelet antibody is somewhat higher in female, 21~40 years old patients. History of blood transfusion is a key risk factor for the production of platelet antibodies.
