Research progress on iron nutritional status of plateletpheresis donors / 中国输血杂志

Apheresis platelets are extensively utilized in clinical practice due to high purity and minimal side effects. These platelets are primarily obtained from regular blood donors. However, there is no consensus on whether plateletpheresis leads to iron deficiency among blood donors. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the impact of plateletpheresis on the iron nutritional status of these donors. Numerous studies have indicated a prevalence of iron deficiency among plateletpheresis donors. The process of plateletpheresis involves the loss of red blood cells, which can accumulate over time and disrupt iron metabolism, ultimately resulting in iron deficiency anemia. This condition not only affects the physical well-being of the donors but also leads to a decline in their willingness to donate blood. Blood collection and supply institutions should enhance their focus on the iron nutritional status of plateletpheresis donors and implement various measures, such as intensifying health education regarding the significance of iron supplementation, implementing programs for testing iron deficiency, considering the provision of iron supplements and extending blood donation intervals. It is crucial to prevent iron deficiency in plateletpheresis donors. These institutions should explore calculation models that can predict personalized blood donation intervals and iron supplementation strategies, and seek a balanced approach that is optimal for maintaining adequate collections while safeguarding donor health. The article comprehensively reviews literature at home and abroad on the etiology and hazards of iron deficiency in plateletpheresis donors, as well as detection methods and response measures. It serves as a foundation for developing scientific and reasonable care measures for blood donation, while also achieving personalized and scientific management and recruitment strategies for blood donors.

Strategies for Collection and Analysis of Samples in Simple Asphyxiant Gas Acute Poisoning Death Cases / 法医学杂志

At present, the death cases of simple asphyxiant gas acute poisoning are increasing sharply. Common asphyxiant gases in death cases include nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, methane, propane, laughing gas, etc. Simple asphyxiant gas has no affinity for biological matrices and escapes quickly, which puts forward new requirements for autopsy procedures, selection and collection of samples, laboratory analysis and identification. This paper reviews the research and development process of death cases caused by simple asphyxiant gas acute poisoning and put forwards the collection and analysis strategy of the samples in such cases. The most valuable biological samples in such cases should be lung tissues associated with the airways, followed by brain tissue and cardiac blood. Gaseous samples from the esophageal cavity, tracheal cavity, pulmonary bronchi, gastric and cardiac areas are also recommended as valuable samples. In the case of postmortem examination, the gas should be injected into gas sample bag directly. Biological materials such as tissue and blood should be directly sealed in head-space vials and analyzed by using the headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Application of Metabonomics in Substance Abuse Toxicology Research / 法医学杂志

Abstrct: Metabonomics is a relative discipline that develops after genomics and proteomics, and it is an important component of systems biology. It uses high-throughput and high-sensitivity instruments to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of all metabolic components in specific biological samples under limited conditions and combines with multivariate statistics to analyze and process the data to obtain information about physiological, pathological or toxicological changes in organisms. In recent years, because of the complicated mechanism of substance abuse and the continuous emergence of new psychoactive substances, metabonomics is increasingly used in substance abuse research. Therefore, this article reviews the application of metabonomics of substance abuse in the toxic mechanism, the mechanism of addiction and the discovery of biomarkers.

Analysis of the Distribution of Total Phosphine and the Characteristics of Phosphine Poisoning in 29 Victims / 法医学杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To study the distribution of total phosphine in phosphine poisoning victims and summarize the characteristics of phosphine poisoning cases.@*METHODS@#The phosphine and its metabolites in the biological samples of 29 victims in 16 phosphine poisoning cases were qualified and quantified by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.@*RESULTS@#Five victims among 29 were poisoned by ingestion of aluminium phosphide and 24 by inhalation of phosphine gas. Phosphine metabolites were detected in the biological samples of 23 victims, and the concentrations of total phosphine in blood ranged 0.5-34.0 μg/mL. The total concentration of phosphine in liver tissue was up to 71.0 μg/g. Phosphine was not detected in the blood of the other six survived victims, which may be related to the small amount of phosphine exposure and the delay in blood sampling.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The total concentration of phosphine in blood and tissues caused by aluminum phosphine ingestion is higher than that caused by phosphine gas inhalation. The death cases of phosphine inhalation are characterized by long exposure time, repeated exposures and age susceptibility.

Research hotspots and frontier trends of flame retardants-induced adverse health effects on humans: A visualized bibliometric analysis / 环境与职业医学

Background As emerging environmental contaminants with ecological risks, flame retardants (FRs) exhibit obvious toxicity and persistence. In recent years, as FRs have been widely detected in indoor environments and human samples, the human health risks after FRs exposure are of great concern. Objective To systematically understand the topic evolution, research status, progress, and development trends on the toxicity and health effects of FRs on humans worldwide. Methods We retrieved the literature regarding toxicity of FRs and their effects on human health through the Web of Science database from 2000 to 2020, screened and processed the literature using Endnote software, and analyzed annual publications, important citations, and authors. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were employed to draw co-citation network, keyword co-occurrence network, and keyword clustering map for bibliometric visualization analysis. Results From 2000 to 2020, 472 international papers on toxic effects and human health impacts of FRs were published. In terms of publication years, FRs-related research was mainly divided into three stages: the infancy and exploration stage (2001—2006), when the research on the toxic effects of FRs was just starting; the growth stage (2007—2015), when the risk assessments of FRs on human health were conducted; and the acceleration stage (2016—), when the studies have shifted to the mechanism of FRs damage to human health. In this field, China published the largest number of published articles in the world (177 papers), but the intermediary centrality (reflecting academic influence) was only 0.19, far lower than that of European and American countries such as the Netherlands (0.78), Britain (0.51), and Germany (0.44). Among the top 10 research institutions in terms of the number of articles published, the Chinese Academy of Sciences topped the list with 49 articles. Van der Veen and other researchers had a strong influence on the research of the toxic effects of phosphorous FRs since their papers published in 2012 were cited 1319 times and in the most prominent node in the literature co-citation network. The high-frequency keywords in the literature on the human health effects of FRs were polybrominated diphenyl ethers (217 times), brominated FRs (166 times), toxicity (147 times), FRs (102 times), exposure, polychlorinated biphenyls, in vitro experiment, plasticizer, etc. Through keyword clustering and co-occurrence analyses, it was found that current research is systematically exploring the toxic mechanism of FRs from a perspective integrating pollution source-exposure route-final receptor of pollutants, and is evaluating the environmental health risks via different exposure routes. The visualized bibliometric analysis findings suggested that future studies understand the underlying mechanisms of various cell damage caused by FRs toxicity, identify the key factors of change and their relationships, aiming to provide a scientific basis for targeted prevention of health effects of FRs. Conclusion The research hotspots on the toxic effects of FRs and their effects on human health have changed over time, and the breadth and depth have been increasing. The toxic effects of brominated/phosphorus FRs have always been the mainstream direction in this field. Further studies will focus on the molecular mechanisms of human toxicity after FRs exposure.

The bioinformatics and metabolomics research on anti-hypoxic molecular mechanisms of Salidroside via regulating the PTEN mediated PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway / 中国天然药物

Salidroside (SAL), a major bioactive compound of Rhodiola crenulata, has significant anti-hypoxia effect, however, its underlying molecular mechanism has not been elucidated. In order to explore the protective mechanism of SAL, the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and hypoxia-induced factor 1α (HIF-1α) were measured to establish the PC12 cell hypoxic model. Cell staining and cell viability analyses were performed to evaluate the protective effects of SAL. The metabolomics and bioinformatics methods were used to explore the protective effects of salidroside under hypoxia condition. The metabolite-protein interaction networks were further established and the protein expression level was examined by Western blotting. The results showed that 59 endogenous metabolites changed and the expression of the hub proteins of CK2, p-PTEN/PTEN, PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, NF-κB p65 and Bcl-2 were increased, suggesting that SAL could increase the expression of CK2, which induced the phosphorylation and inactivation of PTEN, reduced the inhibitory effect on PI3K signaling pathways and activated the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB survival signaling pathway. Our study provided an important insight to reveal the protective molecular mechanism of SAL as a novel drug candidate.

Objective:To analyze the implementation of evidence-based nursing indicators for deep open wound pain management and its difficulties.Methods:From May to October 2018 at Department of Traumatology and Orthopaedics, Nanfang Hospital, 2 nurses were selected by objective sampling and 20 patients with deep open wound by convenient sampling. According to the 13 best practices in nursing guidelines for pain management, we formulated a no-pain dressing change program for deep open wounds on the basis of the research evidence in wound care and pain management. After the program was implemented, its effect on pain relief was evaluated. Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (PACES) and software GRiP were used to evaluate the whole implementation process. IBM SPSS 21.0 was used to analyze the pain scores before and after implementation.Results:The results of PACES showed that the implementation rate of best practices by the 2 nurses increased significantly during the project period and remained at a reasonable level one month after the project. The patients＇ pain scores before dressing were 3.2±2.3 and 3.5±1.2 at the baseline evaluation and the follow-up evaluation 1, respectively; the pain scores during dressing at the base evaluation and the subsequent evaluation 1 were 5.4±2.3 and 4.2±2.4. The effect of implementation of evidence-based nursing indicators for deep open wound pain management on pain relief was significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:This project improved the implementation rate of the best pain management practices in dressing change for deep open wounds, but the implementation encountered difficulties in interdisciplinary cooperation and organizational structure. This study may provide a reference for other evidence-based nursing projects aiming at transforming evidence-based nursing guidelines into clinical practice.

Effect of density and directional cultivation on yield, quality and benefit of Nuomi yam / 中国中药杂志

A split-plot experiment was conducted to study the optimum planting density of Nuomi yam in directional groove shallow cultivation. Nuomi yam was the main local cultivar of Dioscorea. The study of this paper may help to give valuable instructions of local production. Three different planting densities and shallow groove diameter were designed in the experiment. The results showed that the fresh weight of aerial part per plant, yield and planting benefit of Nuomi yam tuber were the highest when the planting density was 12 000 plants/hm~2 and the diameter of shallow growth groove was 11.0 cm, while they were the lowest when the planting density was 22 500 plants/hm~2 and the diameter of shallow growth groove was 7.5 cm. Along with the increase of planting density, the fresh weight of aerial part, tuber, fresh yield, benefit and commercial tuber rate of Nuomi yam also decreased. The commercial tuber rate of Nuomi yam of 11.0 cm diameter in shallow growing pot was the highest, while it was the lowest with no shallow growing pot. On the contrary, the content of amylopectin and mucin was the highest when there was no shallow groove, and was the lowest when the diameter of shallow groove was 7.5 cm, although there was no significant difference between the two treatments. Therefore, Nuomi yam with the directional cultivation combination of planting density of 12 000 plants/hm~2 and shallow groove diameter of 11.0 cm showed high yield, good appearance quality, high planting benefit and no obvious adverse effect on internal quality.

Objective:To analyze the predictive value of P504S for pathological upgrading of gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).Methods:Data of 117 patients (119 lesions) who underwent ESD for LGIN at Huadong Hospital from January 2015 to March 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Biopsy and ESD specimens were collected. According to pathology, specimens were divided into the LGIN group (postoperative pathology of non-upgrade) and the upgrade group (postoperative pathology of upgrade). The positive rates of P504S were compared between biopsy and postoperative specimens of the LGIN group, and between biopsy and postoperative specimens of the upgrade group. The consistency of the expression of P504S was examined between the biopsy specimens and the postoperative specimens in the LGIN group and the upgrade group. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve of the prediction of pathological upgrading was drawn by the results of P504S in biopsy, and the cutoff value of immunohistochemical staining score was calculated.Results:The positive rate of P504S in the biopsy specimens of the LGIN group (46.8%, 36/77) was lower than that in the biopsy specimens of the upgrade group (73.2%, 30/41) with significant difference ( P=0.006). The positive rate of P504S in the postoperative specimens of the LGIN group (51.9%, 40/77) was lower than that in the postoperative specimens of the upgrade group (82.9%, 34/41) with significant difference ( P=0.001). In the LGIN group, the positive rate of P504S in biopsy specimens (46.8%, 36/77) was lower than that in postoperative specimens (51.9%, 40/77) without significant difference ( P=0.289). The expression of P504S was consistent between biopsy specimens and postoperative specimens with good consistency( K=0.793, P<0.001). In the upgrade group, the positive rate of P504S in biopsy specimens (73.2%, 30/41) was lower than that in the postoperative specimens (82.9%, 34/41) without significant difference ( P=0.219). The expression of P504S was consistent between biopsy and postoperative specimens, and the consistency was general ( K=0.579, P<0.001). ROC curve was drawn for the prediction of pathological upgrading by the results of P504S in biopsy, and the cutoff value of immunohistochemical staining score was 100. The sensitivity and specificity of pathological upgrading for positive result were 0.659 and 0.740, respectively. Conclusion:P504S staining of the postoperative specimens facilitates identification of the degree of gastric mucosal neoplasia. When the cutoff value of staining score is 100, the staining of P504S in biopsy tissue plays a role in predicting the pathological upgrading.

Influence of Halogenated Hydroxyl-Alkanes Inhalation Anesthetic on the Determination of Ethanol Content in Blood / 法医学杂志

Objective To study the influence of halogenated hydroxyl-alkanes inhalation anesthetic on the determination of ethanol content in blood. Methods Halogenated hydroxyl-alkanes were analyzed by headspace gas chromatography with double column confirmatory detection method. The influence of halogenated hydroxyl-alkanes on determination of ethanol content in blood sample by headspace gas chromatography was explored under the different detection conditions of KB-BAC1/ KB-BAC2 and J&W DB-ALC1/DB-ALC2 gas chromatographic column. Results The retention time of sevoflurane and enflurane was similar to that of ethanol and tert butanol respectively when using the J&W DB-ALC1/DB-ALC2 gas chromatographic column, and interfered with the detection of ethanol content in blood; only J&W DB-ALC1 gas chromatographic column can separate the sevoflurane and ethanol components, so as to eliminate their influence on the detection of ethanol content in blood. When using KB-BAC1/KB-BAC2 gas chromatographic column, the retention time of sevoflurane, isoflurane and ethanol is similar, especially that of sevoflurane and ethanol, and sevoflurane obviously interferes with the determination of ethanol content in blood. Conclusion Halogenated hydroxy-alkanes interfere with determination of ethanol content in blood by headspace gas chromatography. The interference can be discriminated effectively by choosing the suitable chromatographic column and double column confirmatory detection.
