Association of preoperative frailty with the risk of postoperative delirium in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery: a prospective cohort study.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation between preoperative frailty and the risk of postoperative delirium (POD) in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Methods: In total, 148 patients with hip fractures who were admitted to Tsinghua Changgung Hospital (Beijing, China) between January 2022 and January 2023 were involved in this study. Preoperative frailty scales were assessed, of which the CAM scale was postoperatively administered every morning and evening on days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7.

[Peripheral blood stem cell collection from ABO incompatible allogeneic donors and its effect in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation].

The study was aimed to evaluate the yield of the COBE Spectra blood cell separator with auto-peripheral blood stem cell program for collection of peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells (PBHSC) from HLA-matched ABO-incompatible allogeneic PBHSC donor, and observe the safety and effect of allogeneic peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-PBHSCT) without removal of erythrocytes and plasma. PBHSC from 28 allogeneic donors were collected by COBE Spectra blood cell separator with auto-peripheral blood hematopoiEtic stem cell (auto-PBHSCT) program. Control group included 15 HLA-matched patients who received allo-PBHSCT with ABO-compatible grafts.

Generation and utilization of anti-drug monoclonal antibodies for screening of 36 drug users by dot-ELISA.

In this study, we prepared monoclonal antibodies against morphine, methadone, babital, methamphetamine, and phencyclidine, then developed a dot-ELISA method by such antibodies to test their efficacy in clinical application and the screening of urine samples. It was found that there were 36 narcotics-positive drug users, including 28 morphine positive, six methamphetamine positive, and two positive for both. All the results were confirmed by commercial drug testing kits.
