【Objective】 To analyze the reentry of single reagent reactive voluntary blood donors in our center, in order to provide data support and reference for the recall of single reagent reactive blood donors. 【Methods】 Collect the information of eligible blood donors from the information system of our center from January 2019 to September 2023 were collected, and the reentry were tracked and retrospectively analyzed. The demographic characteristics, active reentry rate, and re-donation rate of eligible blood donors were analyzed, and the differences between qualified reentry rates and factors affecting re-donation were compared using chi-square test. 【Results】 A total of 3 361 blood donors met the reentry criteria, with an active reentry rate of 2.7% (91/3 361) and a qualified reentry rate of 80.21% (73/91). The reentry rate of eligible blood donors showed significant differences in terms of different genders(3.3% vs 2.1%), educational background(3.7% vs 2.3%), blood donation frequency(9.3% vs 4.0% vs 1.3%), testing items(7.7% vs 2.7% vs 1.9% vs 1.3%) and blood donation types(18.1% vs 2.0%) (P<0.05). Difference was noticed in the qualified rate of blood donor reentry among different age groups (61.1% vs 94.4% vs 81.8%) (P<0.05). A total of 126 blood donors donated again, with a total volume of 47 800 mL, a re-donation rate of 49.3% (36/73) and a qualified rate of re-donation of 98.4% (124/126), showing a difference between repeat blood donors and first-time donors (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The active reentry rate of single reagent reactive blood donors in our center is relatively low, but the qualified rate of reentry and the re-donation rate are both high. The re-donation is mainly donation of apheresis platelets, and successful reentry blood donors have a strong willingness to donate blood.

Investigate the biofilm-forming ability and drug resistance of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (HvKP) to provide scientific basis for the treatment of HvKP-infection. A total of 96 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical infection specimens in Changsha Central Hospital from January to December in 2021 were retrospectively collected, and the clinical data of patients were collected. The string test preliminarily distinguished between HvKP and classic Klebsiella pneumoniae (CKP). The biofilm-forming ability of clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) was determined by microplate method. The Vitek 2 Compact automatic microbial identification/drug sensitivity analysis system was used for bacterial identification and drug sensitivity test. The clinical data of patients, biofilm forming ability and drug resistance in the HvKP group and those in the CKP group were compared and analyzed. The results showed that a total of 20 strains of HvKP were isolated from 96 non-repetitive KP, and the detection rate was 20.8%. HvKP mainly come from respiratory specimens, up to 75.0%.The prevalence of hepatobiliary diseases and the infection rate of multiple sites in patients with HvKP infection were higher than those in patients with CKP infection, and the difference was statistically significant(χ²=5.184,7.488;P=0.023,0.006).There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, ICU admission, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, lung disease, urinary system disease, central nervous system disease and laboratory test indexes (all P>0.05).17 (85.0%) strains of HvKP can form biofilm, including 2 strains with weak biofilm-forming ability (10.0%), 10 strains with moderate biofilm-forming ability (50.0%) and 5 strains with strong biofilm-forming ability (25.0%). Among the 76 CKP, 71 (93.4%) could form biofilm, including 13 (17.1%) with weak biofilm-forming ability, 30(39.5%) with moderate biofilm-forming ability and 28 (36.8%) with strong biofilm-forming ability. There was no significant difference in biofilm-forming ability between HvKP and CKP (χ²=1.470,P=0.225).The overall resistance rate of HvKP was not high, but a multi-resistant HvKP resistant to carbapenems was found. The detection rate of multi-resistant HvKP (5.0%) was lower than that of multi-resistant CKP (28.9%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=4.984, P=0.026).The resistance rate of HvKP to piperacillin/tazobactam, aztreonam, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ceftazidime, cefepime, tobramycin, minocycline, doxycycline, and compound sulfamethoxazole was lower than that of CKP, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). In conclusion, most of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae can form biofilm in this study, but the difference of biofilm-forming ability is not obvious compared with classic Klebsiella pneumoniae. HvKP maintains high sensitivity to commonly used antibacterial drugs, but the drug resistance monitoring of the bacteria cannot be ignored.

OBJECTIVEThis study examined the changes of serum levels of interleukin (IL)-16, IL-18 and immunoglobulins and the correlation of serum IL-16, IL-18 levels and immunoglobulins in children with asthma and aimed to explore the role of IL-16, IL-18 and immunoglobulins in the pathogenesis of asthma.

METHODSThirty-four children with asthma and 21 age and gender-matched healthy children were enrolled in this study. The levels of IL-16, IL-18 and immunoglobulin E (IgE) were determined using ELISA. Immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) were detected by immunoturbidimetry.

RESULTSThe levels of IL-16, IL-18 and IgE in patients with asthma at both acute attack and convalescence stages were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. An increased IgG and a decreased IgA levels were found in asthmatic patients at the acute attack stage. There was a positive correlation between the IL-16 and IL-18 levels at both acute attack and convalescence stages of asthma (r=0.70, P < 0.01; r=0.70, P < 0.05). The IL-16 level correlated positively with the IgE level at acute attack stage of asthma (r=0.624, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSIL-16, IL-18 and IgE may be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. The immunologic imbalance exists in children with asthma at both acute attack and convalescence stages. Anti-allergic therapy should be administered through the acute attack to the convalescence stages of asthma.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the Impact of community subculture of men who have sex with men (MSM) on the occurrence of high-risk sexual behavior based on the health belief model. METHODS: A qualitative research method was used to conduct in-depth interviews with 17 MSM by one-to-one and half-structured way, and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: There were several factors for high-risk sexual behavior in MSM subculture, such as trust, subjective assessment for partner or personal health status, the role in inserting, awareness of HIV infection among partners, perception of HIV and homosexual discrimination, difficulty in maintaining a fixed partner, family responsibility,and so on. Self-efficacy also affected MSM's high-risk sexual behavior. CONCLUSIONS High-risk sexual behavior in MSM population is influenced by individual, group, and intra-circle subculture. Cognitive bias for HIV infection in MSMs can be intervened by constructing a preventive intervention model for high-risk sexual behavior.

OBJECTIVETo explore the experimental conditions for H2O2 to injure astrocytes and the effect of baicalin in protecting neurons and astrocytes from oxidative stress injury.

METHODSNeurons and astrocytes from forebrain of rats were cultured in vitro and treated with H2O2, baicalin and combination of the two, respectively. The cell viability or survival rate was determined using MTT.

RESULTSEffects of H2O2 in different concentrations on survival rate of astrocytes showed significant difference (F = 28.569, P < 0.01) in a dose-dependent manner. Degrees of H2O2 injury, with the same concentration of H2O2, on cells with different seeding density were also significantly different (F = 5.439, P < 0.01), and dose-dependently. Baicalin didn't influence the survival rate of neurons and astrocytes when the concentration was within 2.5-40 mumol/L (for neurons, F = 0.49, P > 0.05; for astrocytes, F = 1.001, P > 0.05), but baicalin showed significant antagonism to the injury of oxidative stress (for neurons, F = 24.384, P < 0.01; for astrocytes, F = 5.000, P < 0.01). The higher the concentration of bainalin, the higher the cell survival rate.

CONCLUSIONA model of astrocytes oxidative injury induced by H2O2 is established. Baicalin shows no toxicity on neurons and astrocytes when the concentration is within 2.5-40 mumol/L, but could antagonize the H2O2 caused oxidative injury on cells in a dose-dependent manner.

AIMTo establish a resolution method for alpha-cyclohexyl mandelic acid enantiomers by enantioselective extraction and to observe the effects of all kinds of tartaric esters, pH, the concentration of D-tartaric esters and beta-cyclodextrin on the enantioselectivity.

METHODSResolution of alpha-cyclohexyl mandelic acid enantiomers by enantioselective extraction with tartaric esters and beta-cyclodextrin has been studied.

RESULTSThe distribution behavior of alpha-cyclohexyl mandelic acid enantiomers in the separation system was studied. The effects of all kinds of tartaric esters, pH, the concentration of D-tartaric esters and beta-cyclodextrin on the enantioselectivity has been examined in the two-phase.

CONCLUSIONResults showed that the complex formed by D-iso-butyl-D-tartaric ester with R enantiomer is stabler than that with S enantiomer. With the increase of pH, the partition coefficient and separation factor decreased. The concentration of beta-cyclodextrin and D-tartaric ester had visible effect on the enantioselectivity.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression of human beta-defensin-3 (hBD-3) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells, and explore the role of hBD-3 in respiratory infection.

METHODSHBE cells were stimulated with different concentrations of LPS (0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 microg/mL). hBD-3 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR 2 hrs later. hBD-3 protein expression was detected by Western blot 4 hrs later.

RESULTShBD-3 mRNA and protein was weakly expressed in normal HBE cells. LPS stimulation resulted in a significant increase of hBD-3 mRNA and protein expression (p<0.01). hBD-3 mRNA and protein expression increased with increasing LPS concentrations. There were significant differences in the hBD-3 mRNA and protein expression in cells stimulated by different concentrations of LPS (p<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSLPS can induce hBD-3 expression in a dose-dependent manner. hBD-3 might play a role in initial defensive reaction against bacterial invasion.
