【Objective】 To establish an effective quality indicator monitoring system, scientifically and objectively evaluate the quality management level of blood banks, and achieve continuous improvement of quality management in blood bank. 【Methods】 A quality monitoring indicator system that covers the whole process of blood collection and supply was established, the questionnaire of Quality Monitoring Indicators for Blood Collection and Supply Process with clear definition of indicators and calculation formulas was distributed to 17 blood banks in Shandong. Statistical analysis of 21 quality monitoring indicators in terms of blood donation service (10 indicators), blood component preparation (7 indicators ), and blood supply (4 indicators) from each blood bank from January to December 2022 were conducted using SPSS25.0 software The differences in quality monitoring indicators of blood banks of different scales were analyzed. 【Results】 The average values of quality monitoring indicators for blood donation service process of 17 blood banks were as follows: 44.66% (2 233/5 000) of regular donors proportion, 0.22% (11/50) of adverse reactions incidence, 0.46% (23/5 000) of non-standard whole blood collection rate, 0.052% (13/25 000) of missed HBsAg screening rate, 99.42% (4 971/5 000) of first, puncture successful rate, 86.49% (173/200) of double platelet collection rate, 66.50% (133/200) of 400 mL whole blood collection rate, 99.25% (397/400) of donor satisfaction rate, 82.68% (2 067/2 500) of use rate of whole blood collection bags with bypass system with sample tube, and 1 case of occupational exposure in blood collection.There was a strong positive correlation between the proportion of regular blood donors and the collection rate of 400 mL whole blood (P<0.05). The platelet collection rate, incidence of adverse reactions to blood donation, and non-standard whole blood collection rate in large blood banks were significantly lower than those in medium and small blood banks (P<0.05). The average quality monitoring indicators for blood component preparation process of 17 blood banks were as follows: the leakage rate of blood component preparation bags was 0.03% (3/10 000), the discarding rate of lipemic blood was 3.05% (61/2 000), the discarding rate of hemolysis blood was 0.13%(13/10 000). 0.06 case had labeling errors, 8 bags had blood catheter leaks, 2.76 bags had blood puncture/connection leaks, and 0.59 cases had non-conforming consumables. The discarding rate of hemolysis blood of large blood banks was significantly lower than that of medium and small blood banks (P<0.05), and the discarding rate of lipemic blood of large and medium blood banks was significantly lower than that of small blood banks (P<0.05). The average values of quality monitoring indicators for blood supply process of 17 blood banks were as follows: the discarding rate of expired blood was 0.023% (23/100 000), the leakage rate during storage and distribution was of 0.009%(9/100 000), the discarding rate of returned blood was 0.106% (53/50 000), the service satisfaction of hospitals was 99.16% (2 479/2 500). The leakage rate of blood components during storage and distribution was statistically different with that of blood component preparation bags between different blood banks (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the proportion of regular blood donors, incidence of adverse reactions, non-standard whole blood collection rate, 400 mL whole blood collection rate, double platelet collection rate, the blood bag leakage rate during preparation process, the blood components leakage rate during storage and distribution as well as the discarding rate of lipemic blood, hemolysis blood, expired blood and returned blood among large, medium and small blood banks (all P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The establishment of a quality monitoring indicator system for blood donation services, blood component preparation and blood supply processes in Shandong has good applicability, feasibility and effectiveness. It can objectively evaluate the quality management level, facilitate the continuous improvement of the quality management system, promote the homogenization of blood management in the province and lay the foundation for future comprehensive evaluation of blood banks.

Objective To investigate the effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids(ω-3 PUFA)on chronic atrophic gastritis of rats.Methods A rat model of chronic atrophic gastritis was established by synthetic method.The rats successfully modeled were randomly divided into model group,experimental-L group,experimental-M group,experimental-H group,positive control group.Normal rats were selected as the normal group.There were 9 rats in each group.Experimental-L,-M,-H groups were given 3,6 and 12 mL·kg-1ω-3 PUFA daily,respectively.The positive control group was given 0.24 g·kg-1 vitacoenzyme suspension daily.Normal group and model group were given the same amount of 0.9％NaCl.Each group was given the drug for 12 weeks.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect serum interleukin-1 β(IL-1β)level.In situ end labeling staining(TUNEL)was used to detecte the apoptosis of gastric mucosa.Relevant kits were used to detect the level of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and malonaldehyde(MDA).Results IL-1 β levels in normal group,model group,experimental-L,-M,-H groups and positive control group were(58.96±8.23),(140.02±19.65),(109.81±14.35),(98.72±12.64),(85.31±11.42)and(77.64±10.23)pg·mL-1,respectively;apoptotic indices were(7.89±1.36)％,(77.12±10.05)％,(42.33±6.87)％,(31.05±5.29)％,(22.76±4.16)％and(16.89±3.05)％,respectively;SOD levels were(398.71±58.24),(170.25±29.81),(249.81±34.26),(268.04±34.11),(322.15±46.36)and(276.42±29.81)U·mg-1,respectively;MDA levels were(3.55±0.87),(11.02±2.15),(8.02±1.50),(6.92±1.23),(5.98±1.27)and(6.67±1.32)U·mg-1,respectively.Compared with normal group,the above indexes were significantly different in model group(all P＜0.01);compared with model group,the above indexes were significantly different in experimental-L,experimental-M,experimental-H groups and positive control group(all P＜0.01).Conclusionω-3 PUFA can ameliorate chronic atrophic gastritis of rats,and the mechanism may be related to the anti-inflammatory,anti-apoptosis and anti-oxidative stress effects of to-3 PUFA.

Objective:To compare the prognostic value of two predictive models based on C-reactive protein(CRP)and albumin(ALB),namely the CRP to ALB ratio(CAR)and the Glasgow prognostic score(GPS),in newly diagnosed patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:The data of newly diagnosed DLBCL patients admitted to our center from May 2014 to January 2022 were reviewed.A total of 111 patients who completed at least 4 cycles of R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like chemotherapy with detailed clinical,laboratory data and follow-up information were included.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was performed to evaluate the predictive value of pre-treatment CAR on disease progression and survival.Furthermore,the association between CAR and baseline clinical,laboratory characteristics of patients was evaluated,and progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)were compared between different CAR and GPS subgroups.Finally,the univariate and multivariate COX propor-tional hazard regression models were used to analyze the factors affecting disease outcomes.Results:ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of CAR predicting PFS and OS in DLBCL patients was 0.687(P=0.002)and 0.695(P=0.005),respectively,with the optimal cut-off value of 0.11 for both predicting PFS and OS.Compared with the lower CAR(＜0.11)group,the higher CAR(≥0.11)group had more clinical risk factors,including age＞60 years(P=0.025),ECOG score ≥2(P=0.004),Lugano stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ(P＜0.001),non-germinal center B-cell-like(non-GCB)subtype(P=0.035),elevated lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)(P＜0.001),extranodal involved site＞1(P=0.004)and IPI score＞2(P＜0.001).The interim response evaluation of patients showed that the overall response rate(ORR)and complete response rate(CRR)in the lower CAR group were both significantly better than those in the higher CAR group(ORR:96.9％vs 80.0％,P=0.035;CRR:63.6％vs 32.5％,P=0.008).With a median follow-up of 24 months,patients with lower CAR had significantly longer median PFS and OS than those with higher CAR(median PFS:not reached vs 67 months,P=0.0026;median OS:not reached vs 67 months,P=0.002),while there was no statistical difference in PFS(P=0.11)and OS(P=0.11)in patients with GPS of 0,1,and 2.Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that only sex(male)and IPI score＞2 were independent risk factors for both PFS and OS.Conclusion:CAR is significantly correlated with disease progression and survival in DLBCL patients;And compared with GPS,CAR has more advantages in predicting disease outcomes in DLBCL patients.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of flumatinib (FM)and imatinib (IM)as first-line treatment in newly-diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP ) in real world. Methods:A total of 84 newly-diagnosed CP-CML patients in our center from December 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,32 cases received FM as first-line treatment,and 52 cases received IM. Molecular response (MR),disease progression,survival and incidence of adverse events (AEs)were compared between the two groups.Results:At 3 months of treatment,the incidences of early molecular response (EMR ),MR2.0 and MR3.0 were 96.7％,70.0％ and 20.0％ in FM group,respectively,which were significantly higher than 77.1％,29. 2％ and 0 in IM group (all P<0.05 ).At 6,9 and 12 months of treatment,the incidences of major molecular response (MMR)in FM group were 68.2％,85.7％ and 90.0％,respectively,which were significantly higher than 22.9％,34.0％ and 51.1％ in IM group (all P<0.01).The median time to achieve MMR in FM group was 6(6-9)months,which was significantly shorter than 18(12-22)months in IM group (P<0.001 ).The 3-year progression-free survival rate and 3-year event-free survival rate in FM group were 100％ and 68.8％,respectively,while in IM group were 98.1％ and 55.8％.There were no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of grade 3-4 hematologic AEs in FM group was 21 .9％,which was slightly lower than 25.0％ in IM group,but the difference was not significant (P>0.05 ).Conclusion:In real clinical practice,FM as first-line treatment achieves MMR earlier than IM,and exhibits good safety profile in newly-diagnosed CML-CP patients,which potentially leads to improved long-term survival and treatment-free remission.

Background: and Purpose To explore the causal relationships of elements of the exposome with ischemic stroke and its subtypes at the omics level and to provide evidence for stroke prevention. Methods We conducted a Mendelian randomization study between exposure and any ischemic stroke (AIS) and its subtypes (large-artery atherosclerotic disease [LAD], cardioembolic stroke [CE], and small vessel disease [SVD]). The exposure dataset was the UK Biobank involving 361,194 subjects, and the outcome dataset was the MEGASTROKE consortium including 52,000 participants. Results: We found that higher blood pressure (BP) (systolic BP: odds ratio [OR], 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 1.04; diastolic BP: OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.05; pulse pressure: OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.06), atrial fibrillation (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.25), and diabetes (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.18) were significantly associated with ischemic stroke. Importantly, higher education (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.60 to 0.79) decreased the risk of ischemic stroke. Higher systolic BP (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.10), pulse pressure (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.14), diabetes (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.45), and coronary artery disease (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.25 to 2.00) could cause LAD. Atrial fibrillation could cause CE (OR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.71 to 2.11). For SVD, higher systolic BP (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.07), diastolic BP (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.12), and diabetes (OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.10 to 1.36) were causal factors. Conclusions The study revealed elements of the exposome causally linked to ischemic stroke and its subtypes, including conventional causal risk factors and novel protective factors such as higher education.

Aim To investigate the therapeutic effect of SirTl agonist resveratrol on IgA nephropathy rats and its mechanisms. Methods An IgA nephropathy rat model was established. The rats were divided into four groups randomly: control group, IgA nephropathy group, control treated with Res group and IgA nephropathy treated with Res group. The urine protein was detected by Ponceau S; the biochemical indexes were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer; the pathological changes of kidney were observed by PAS and Masson staining; IgA deposition was observed by immunofluorescence; the expressions of PDGF-B and TGF-fil were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with IgA nephropathy group, the volume of 24-hour urinary protein and the expression of BUN and Scr in Res group decreased significantly, and the fluorescence of IgA in glomerulus was less in resveratrol group; mesangial cells and matrix proliferated and glomerular volume increased in IgA nephropathy group at the later stage, and both of them were significantly inhibited. Resveratrol could significantly reduce the high expression of PDGF-B and TGF-β1 in IgA nephropathy group. Conclusions Res can inhibit the deposition of IgA immune complex in mesangial region of IgA nephropathy rats and reduce glomerulosclerosis by down-regulating the expression of PDGF-B and TGF-β1, in turn it suppresses cell proliferation in mesangial region. It suggests that resveratrol plays an important role in slowing down the progression of IgA nephropathy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of increasing sunshine time or 1, 25(OH)₂D₃ supplement on improving Vitamin D blood level and reduction of microalbuminuria in early stage diabetic nephropathy (DN) patients. Methods A total of 150 early stage type 2 DN patients with serum 25(OH)D₃ lower than 15 mg/L were included.The patients were divided into sunshine group (n=50), 1, 25(OH)₂D₃ supplement group (n=50), and control group (n=50).After three-month treatment, serum 25(OH)D₃ level and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio(ACR)were compared among these three groups. Results Before treatment, there were no differences in serum 25(OH)D₃, ACR, HbA1c among the three groups.After three-month treatment, serum 25(OH)D₃ level was significantly improved in sunshine group, and ACR was reduced significantly in both sunshine group and 1, 25(OH)₂D₃ group. Conclusion Increasing sunshine time can improve Vitamin D level and reduce microalbuminuria in early stage diabetic nephropathy patients.

BACKGROUND: Albuvirtide is a once-weekly injectable human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 fusion inhibitor. We present interim data for a phase 3 trial assessing the safety and efficacy of albuvirtide plus lopinavir-ritonavir in HIV-1-infected adults already treated with antiretroviral drugs. METHODS: We carried out a 48-week, randomized, controlled, open-label non-inferiority trial at 12 sites in China. Adults on the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended first-line treatment for >6 months with a plasma viral load >1000 copies/mL were enrolled and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive albuvirtide (once weekly) plus ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (ABT group) or the WHO-recommended second-line treatment (NRTI group). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with a plasma viral load below 50 copies/mL at 48 weeks. Non-inferiority was prespecified with a margin of 12%. RESULTS: At the time of analysis, week 24 data were available for 83 and 92 patients, and week 48 data were available for 46 and 50 patients in the albuvirtide and NRTI groups, respectively. At 48 weeks, 80.4% of patients in the ABT group and 66.0% of those in the NRTI group had HIV-1 RNA levels below 50 copies/mL, meeting the criteria for non-inferiority. For the per-protocol population, the superiority of albuvirtide over NRTI was demonstrated. The frequency of grade 3 to 4 adverse events was similar in the two groups; the most common adverse events were diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections, and grade 3 to 4 increases in triglyceride concentration. Renal function was significantly more impaired at 12 weeks in the patients of the NRTI group who received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate than in those of the ABT group. CONCLUSIONS: The TALENT study is the first phase 3 trial of an injectable long-acting HIV drug. This interim analysis indicates that once-weekly albuvirtide in combination with ritonavir-boosted lopinavir is well tolerated and non-inferior to the WHO-recommended second-line regimen in patients with first-line treatment failure.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis is a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, the effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on colitis-associated CRC progression were evaluated on an azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) mouse model. In vivo, PNS significantly relieved AOM/DSS-induced colon tumorigenesis and development by reducing the disease activity index (DAI) scores and colon tumor load. The 16S rRNA data of fecal samples showed that the microbiome community was obviously destructed, while PNS could recover the richness and diversity of gut microbiota. Especially, PNS could increase the abundance of Akkermansia spp. which was significantly decreased in model group and negatively correlated with the progression of CRC. Moreover, ginsenoside compound K (GC-K) was evaluated on the effects of human CRC cells, which was the main bio-transformed metabolite of PNS by gut microbiota. Our data showed that PNS played important role in the prevention of the progression of CRC, due to their regulation on the microbiome balance and microbial bio-converted product with anti-CRC activity.
