Objective To investigate the predictive value of systemic immune-inflammation index(SII)and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)level in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)developing contrast-induced acute kidney injury(CIAKI)after PCI.Methods A total of 1085 elderly STEMI patients undergoing emergency PCI in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2018 to March 2023 were consecutively recruited as a training set,and another 287 elderly STEMI pa-tients receiving emergency PCI in the East Branch of the Affiliated Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were included as a verification set.According to the diagnostic criteria of CIAKI,they were divided into CIAKI group(n=95)and non-CIAKI group(n=990).Based on the results of restricted cubic spline(RCS)analysis,the patients from the training set were assigned into low-risk subgroup(n=292),moderate-risk group(n=515)and high-risk group(n=278).Multivari-ate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of CIAKI in elder-ly STEMI patients after PCI,and ROC curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of combi-nation of SII and NT-proBNP.The risk of CIAKI was compared among the patients at different risk grades.Results Age,SII,baseline serum creatinine,NT-proBNP,fasting blood glucose and use of diuretics were independent risk factors for CIAKI after primary PCI in elderly STEMI patients(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The AUC value of SII combined with NT-proBNP in predicting CIAKI was 0.801(95％CI:0.761-0.842,P＜0.01),with a sensitivity of 83.2％and a specificity of 67.5％,both superior to that of SII or NT-proBNP alone.RCS analysis revealed an increased risk of CIAKI at SII ≥1084.97 × 109/L and NT-proBNP ≥296.12 ng/L.The incidence of CIAKI was increased with the increase of risk grades(1.71％vs 6.41％vs 20.50％).Conclusion SII and NT-proBNP are independent risk factors for CIAKI after emergency PCI in elderly STEMI pa-tients.And their combination has better predictive value for CIAKI.

Vaccination is the most economical and effective measure to prevent infectious diseases targeted by vaccines. Despite this， the safety of vaccines has garnered increased attention due to recent vaccine incidents. The tetravalent human papillomavirus vaccine （HPV） is one of the effective means to prevent cervical cancer and in situ adenocarcinoma caused by infection with corresponding serotypes. The inactivated novel coronavirus vaccine is an emergency vaccine developed to prevent novel coronavirus infection after the COVID-19 outbreak， and is also the main measure used to control the spread of COVID-19 at present. The monitoring data show that both vaccines have good safety after inoculation， but due to individual differences and other reasons， rare reactions may occur in a very small number of recipients. This article presents two cases of urticaria vasculitis following inoculation of the tetravalent HPV and the novel corona virus inactivated vaccine.

ObjectiveTo determine the antibody levels of varicella-zoster virus （VZV） in healthy individuals aged 1 to 30 years in Songjiang District of Shanghai， and to provide evidence for further development of varicella immunization strategies for healthy population. MethodsSix village committees were selected in Songjiang District through multi-stage stratified random sampling method from July to September 2022. Healthy individuals aged 1 to 30 years old in these villages were recruited and 3‒5 mL of venous blood was collected. Anti-VZV IgG antibody was tested by ELISA. Positive rate of anti-VZV IgG antibody and geometric mean concentration （GMC） were determined. ResultsA total of 315 healthy individuals aged （10.97±8.38） years were included in this study， of which 165 were males aged （11.00±8.52） years and 150 were females aged （10.96±8.25） years. Blood samples were collected and tested for anti-VZV IgG antibody， with the overall positive rate of 55.24% （174/315）. The GMC was calculated to be 99.73 mIU·mL^-1， with the GMC in those tested positive for anti-VZV IgG antibody of 413.11 mIU·mL^-1. The positive rate of anti-VZV IgG antibody and GMCs across age groups ranged between 13.33%‒86.67% and 16.36‒355.14 mIU·mL^-1， respectively. The highest GMC was found in the group of 20‒30 years old （355.14 mIU·mL^-1）， followed by 132.41 mIU·mL^-1 in the group of 5‒ years old and 138.12 mIU·mL^-1 in the group of 15‒ years old. Moreover， the positive rate was 38.47% in the group with 1-dose varicella vaccine and 63.49% in the group with 2 doses， while the GMC were 53.28 mIU·mL^-1 and 130.79 mIU·mL^-1 in these two groups， respectively. Multivariable analysis revealed that occupation was a risk factor associated with anti-VZV IgG antibody （OR=2.540）. Stratified analysis by varicella immunization history showed that among 2-dose vaccination group， time interval since the last dose was a protective factor （OR=0.315）. ConclusionsThe overall positive rate of anti-VZV IgG antibody in healthy population in Songjiang District of Shanghai remains low. The 2-dose varicella vaccination should be strengthened to improve the coverage in susceptible population.

Objective:To evaluate the consistency between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in the measurement of body composition in children aged 6-17 years in China.Methods:Fat-free mass, fat mass and fat mass percentage were measured by both BIA and DXA in 1 161 children. t-test or Wilcoxon paired test was used to evaluate the different outcome of the two methods. The correlation and consistency between the methods were evaluated by Spearman correlation coefficients ( r) and Bland-Altman analysis. Results:Body compositions measured by BIA was positively correlated with those measured by DXA (fat mass r=0.95, fat-free mass r=0.98, fat mass percentage r=0.86, all P<0.05). Comparing with DXA, BIA underestimate children's fat mass [the mean difference is -3.15 kg, and the SD is 2.35 kg, 95% limits of agreement (LoA): -7.74-1.45 kg] and fat mass percentage (the mean difference is -8.45%, and the SD is 4.63%, 95% LoA: -17.53%-0.64%). Conclusions:Body compositions measured by BIA was highly positively correlated with those measured by DXA. BIA has certain application value in the measurement of body fat mass and fat-free mass of children aged 6-17 years.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Guizhi Tongluo Tablets(GZTLP)on improving atherosclerosis in APOE knockout mice by regulating neutrophil extracellular trapping nets(NETs).Methods After modeling,24 APOE knockout mice aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into 4 groups:GZTLP high-dose group,low-dose group,model control group and normal control group,with 6 mice in each group.GZTLP was given 1.87 mg·g-1 and 0.47 mg·g-1 intragastric administration in high-dose group and low-dose group,respectively.The normal control group and model control group were given 0.9%sodium chloride solution intragastric administration for 6 weeks,and the lipid plaque deposition in aorta was observed by gross oil red O staining.Lipid deposition in aortic root was observed by oil red O staining.The pathological changes of lipid plaques in aortic root were observed by HE staining.The levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)in peripheral blood of mice were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The expression of lymphocyte antigen 6G(Ly6G),myeloperoxidase(MPO)and citrulinated histone(Cit-H3)in plaques of the aortic arch and the colocalization of Ly6G,MPO and Cit-H3 were detected by immunofluorescence assay.Results Compared with the normal control group,the aorta of mice in the model control group showed serious lipid plaque deposition,morphological damage,and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration,the contents of serum inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α were increased,and the protein expressions of Ly6G,Cit-H3 and MPO were significantly increased.Compared with model control group,GZTLP group reduced the amount of lipid plaque deposition in aorta,the arrangement of aortic cells was more regular,the inflammatory cell infiltration was improved,and the contents of serum inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly decreased(P<0.05).The colocalization and the protein expression of Ly6G,MPO and Cit-H3 were significantly decreased in aortic tissues(P<0.01).Conclusions GZTLP can improve atherosclerosis,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of neutrophil extracellular trapping nets.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of the varicella vaccine immunization strategy in Shanghai， and to provide evidence for enhancing prevention and control measures by analyzing the incidence and trends of varicella in Songjiang District， Shanghai from 2013 to 2021. MethodsA descriptive analysis was conducted on 12 417 varicella cases reported in Songjiang District between 2013 and 2021. The epidemiological distribution of varicella cases was described， and the incidence rates were compared among different demographic variables， including registered residence， gender， age， and occupation. ResultsA total of 12 417 varicella cases were reported in Songjiang District from 2013 to 2021，with an average annual incidence of 77.03/10⁵. The incidence of varicella showed an increasing trend from 2013 to 2017 （χ²_trend=19.39， P<0.001）， followed by a subsequent decrease from 2017 to 2021（χ²_trend=758.62， P<0.001）. Varicella cases demonstrated significant seasonal variation， with peak incidences occurring in April to May and November to January of the following year. The incidence rate among local residents was higher than that among non-local residents （χ²=2 935.58， P<0.001）. Most （38.59%） of the cases were students aged between 5 and 9 years old， accounting for 23.45% of the total cases. However， the age distribution of cases varied over the years （χ²=615.57， P<0.001）， and the incidence among children aged 5 to 9 years showed a declining trend since 2017. ConclusionThe overall incidence of varicella in Songjiang District exhibites a declining trend in recent years. Although varicella primarily affects children， there have notable changes in the age distribution. Adjustment of the immunization strategy for varicella vaccines in Shanghai effectively reduces the proportion of school-age subjects.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the survival of patients with cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA-CPR), and to analyze the factors influencing survival at 30 days after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of 538 patients with CA-CPR admitted to the People's Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from January 2013 to September 2020 were enrolled. The gender, age, underlying disease, cause of CA, type of CA, initial rhythm, presence or absence of endotracheal intubation, defibrillation, use of epinephrine, and 30-day survival rate of patients were collected. The etiology of CA and 30-day survival rate among patients with different ages were compared, as well as the clinical data between patients who survived and died at 30 days after ROSC were also compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the relevant factors affecting the 30-day survival rate of patients. RESULTS: Among 538 patients with CA-CPR, 67 patients with incomplete information were excluded, and 471 patients were enrolled. Among 471 patients, 299 were males and 172 were females. Aged from 0 to 96 years old, 23 patients (4.9%) were < 18 years old, 205 patients (43.5%) were 18 to 64 years old, and 243 patients (51.6%) were ≥ 65 years old. 302 cases (64.1%) achieved ROSC, and 46 patients (9.8%) survived for more than 30 days. The 30-day survival rate of patients aged < 18 years old, 18-64 years old and ≥ 65 years old was 8.7% (2/23), 12.7% (26/205) and 7.4% (18/243), respectively. The main causes of CA in patients younger than 18 years were severe pneumonia (13.1%, 3/23), respiratory failure (13.1%, 3/23), and trauma (13.1%, 3/23). The main causes were acute myocardial infarction (AMI; 24.9%, 51/205), respiratory failure (9.8%, 20/205), and hypoxic brain injury (9.8%, 20/205) in patients aged 18-64 years old, and AMI (24.3%, 59/243) and respiratory failure (13.6%, 33/243) in patients aged ≥ 65 years old. Univariate analysis results revealed that the 30-day survival rate of patients with CA-CPR may be related to the the cause of CA was AMI, initial rhythm was ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation, endotracheal intubation and epinephrine. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis results showed that CA was caused by AMI [odds ratio (OR) = 0.395, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.194-0.808, P = 0.011] and endotracheal intubation (OR = 0.423, 95%CI was 0.204-0.877, P = 0.021) was a protective factor for 30 days of survival after ROSC in patients with CA-CPR. CONCLUSIONS The 30-day survival rate of CA-CPR patients was 9.8%. The 30-day survival rate of CA-CPR patients with AMI after ROSC is higher than that of patients with other CA causes, and early endotracheal intubation can improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To explore the value of detecting plasma donor-derived free DNA (dd-cfDNA) fraction in distinguishing antibody mediated-rejection (ABMR) and T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts.Methods:Patients with acute rejection confirmed by allograft biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Zhejiang University from December 1, 2017 to July 18, 2019 were retrospectively included. Based on pathological classification of Banff renal allograft rejection in 2017, the patients were divided into ABMR group and TCMR group, and the latter was subdivided into TCMR Ⅰ subgroup and TCMR Ⅱ subgroup. The second generation sequencing and target region capture were used to detect candidates' peripheral blood dd-cfDNA. The demographic and clinicopathological data of the two groups were compared. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the differential value of plasma dd-cfDNA and serum creatinine levels in two kinds of acute renal allograft rejection.Results:A total of 60 patients with acute rejection of renal transplantation were enrolled in this study, including 42 patients in TCMR group and 18 patients in ABMR group. The plasma dd-cfDNA percentage (%) in the ABMR group was significantly higher than that in the TCMR group [2.33(1.19, 4.30)% vs 0.98(0.50, 1.82)%, P=0.001]. The absolute value of dd-cfDNA in ABMR group was obviously higher than that in TCMR group [0.94(0.60, 2.27) ng/ml vs 0.43(0.20, 0.96) ng/ml, P=0.003]. ROC analysis to discriminate TCMR from ABMR showed that, the area under the curve ( AUC) of dd-cfDNA% was 0.76(95% CI 0.64-0.88), when the threshold was 1.11%, the sensitivity and specificity were 88.89% and 59.52%, respectively; the AUC of absolute value of dd-cfDNA was 0.74(95% CI 0.61-0.86), when the threshold was 0.53 ng/ml, the sensitivity was 88.89% and the specificity was 54.76%. TCMR subgroups were further analyzed, there was no significant difference between TCMR subgroups on the absolute value and percentage of dd-cfDNA (both P>0.05); dd-cfDNA% in ABMR group was apparently higher than that in TCMRⅠ subgroups ( P=0.008) and TCMRⅡsubgroup ( P=0.030). The absolute value of dd-cfDNA in ABMR group was significantly higher than that in TCMRⅠsubgroups ( P=0.003). Conclusion:Plasma dd-cfDNA level may help to distinguish between ABMR and TCMR rejection.

ObjectiveTo determine the reporting rate of adverse reaction of Haemophilus influenzae type b （Hib） containing vaccine in Songjiang District from 2016 to 2020， so as to provide evidence for the inclusion of Hib vaccine in children's immunization planning and safety monitoring. MethodsThe adverse reaction data of Hib vaccination were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System and presented by descriptive methods. ResultsFrom 2016 to 2020， the reporting rate of adverse reaction of various Hib-containing vaccines in Songjiang District was determined to be 747.76/10⁵ doses， among which the rates of general reaction and abnormal reaction were 734.31/10⁵ doses and 13.45/10⁵ doses， respectively. The reporting rate of general reaction was significantly higher than that of abnormal reaction （χ²=1 400.18，P<0.001）. Moreover， the reporting rate of adverse reaction did not differ significantly by sex or registered residence， whereas it differed significantly by age groups （χ²=366.07，P<0.001）. Children ≥12 months old had the highest reporting rate， which was caused by higher rate of general reaction （χ²=360.48，P<0.001） compared with other age groups； in contrast， there was no difference in the reporting rate of abnormal reactions across age groups. The reporting rate of adverse reaction differed significantly across four Hib-containing vaccines （χ²=508.51，P<0.001）， among which the reporting rate of pentavalent vaccine was the highest， followed by tetravalent vaccine， and Hib vaccine and meningococcal HI vaccine. This difference was mainly caused by general reaction （χ²=499.19，P<0.001）. The reporting rate of booster Hib-containing vaccines was significantly higher than that of basic immunization （χ²=462.85，P<0.001）. Furthermore， the reporting rate differed between DTaP-Hib vaccine and DTaP-IPV-Hib vaccine by injection sites（χ²=13.63，P=0.001；χ²=78.48， P<0.001）； the reporting rate on the thigh was lower than that on the hip or upper arm. Among the 1 501 reported adverse reactions， 97.21% of the general reactions and 85.19% of the abnormal reactions occurred within 72 hours following immunization. Principal clinical diagnosis was fever， redness and nodules （n=1 454）， accounting for 96.87% of the total reported adverse event following immunization（AEFI）， followed by allergic rash. ConclusionThe four types of Hib-containing vaccines have high safety. Health care practitioners at points of vaccination should improve the pre-examination， standardized operation and full notification in strict accordance with the requirements. It also warrants strengthening the AEFI monitoring， investigation and response， so as to effectively reduce the incidence and severity of adverse reactions.

Measles is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the measles virus. It is highly infectious and easy to occur in children. It causes many serious complications such as tracheitis， otitis media and pneumonia. Since the promotion of the measles vaccine in China， the measles epidemic has been effectively controlled. From June 1， 2020， the immunization procedure of measles-containing vaccine for children in Shanghai has been adjusted to one dose of measles， mumps and rubella combined live attenuated vaccine （MMR） at the age of 8 months， 18 months and 6 years. There is generally no local reaction after the injection of the MMR vaccine. A few individuals may have transient fever and scattered rash， which generally fade away by themselves. However， because it is a live vaccine， it may cause vaccine related diseases in extremely rare cases. This paper reports two cases of measles after vaccination with the MMR vaccine.
