Expression and Clinical Significance of circRNA Changes in Stored Erythrocytes During Platelet Transfusion in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Background: This study was to store the expression and clinical significance of circRNA changes in red blood cells during platelet transfusion in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Methods: Sixty patients with ALL who underwent platelet transfusion were enrolled. Post-transfusion symptoms, platelet count (PLT), 24-hour corrected platelet increase index (CCI), and 24-hour platelet recovery rate (PPR) were collected, and their correlation with age, gender, bleeding, infection, splenomegaly, antibiotic use and infusion times were analyzed.

Early passive orthostatic training prevents diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction in intensive care unit patients on mechanical ventilation: A retrospective case‒control study.

Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients on mechanical ventilation (MV), who are always bedridden, easily develop diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction. However, few studies have assessed diaphragmatic thickness and functional changes after early passive orthostatic training.

Objectives: This is the first study to investigate the efficacy of early passive orthostatic training in preventing diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction in ICU patients on MV.

Analysis of Whole Blood and Urine Trace Elements in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Autistic Behaviors.

The relationship between trace elements and neurological development is an emerging research focus. We performed a case-control study to explore (1) the differences of 13 trace elements chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd), stannum (Sn), stibium (Sb), mercury (Hg), titanium (TI), and plumbum (Pb) concentration in whole blood and urine between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children and their typical development peers, and (2) the association between the 13 trace elements and core behaviors of ASD. Thirty ASD subjects (cases) and 30 age-sex-matched healthy subjects from Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, were recruited.

Continuous renal replacement therapy and blood transfusions in treating patients with crush syndrome: 8 Case studies from the Wenchuan earthquake.

Objective: We analyzed the efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) combined with blood transfusion for patients with crush syndrome from an earthquake.

Methods: Eight patients with crush syndrome were included. CRRT were performed in six of eight patients with crush syndrome, and transfusion was performed in all eight patients.
