In recent years, the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has risen year by year, leading to a high mortality rate. At present, surgical treatment is the major cure for HCC, and in general, HCC is diagnosed at late stages. Due to the heterogeneity of HCC and different sensitivities to drugs, the treatment efficacy of advanced HCC is poor. In this paper, we retrospectively analyzed the prog-ress of HCC treatments and reviewed important progression, which provides new view for the clinical improvement of the total surviv-al of patients with HCC.

【Objective】 To investigate HBV infection with low level of HBsAg and nucleic acid testing(NAT) non-reactive results in blood donors, and analyze molecular characteristics. 【Methods】 Low level HBsAg but NAT-nonreactive samples were collected and tested for HBsAg by Abbott chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA)., HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBc were further detected by Roche electrochemiluminescence immunoassay(ECLI). BCP/PC and S regions were also amplified by Nested-PCRs and qPCR for HBV DNA quantity were adopted simultaneously. 【Results】 Of 100 363 donations, 60(0.054%) low level HBsAg and NAT-nonreactive blood samples were enrolled the study. In which, 54/60(90%) and 57/60(95%) were WanTai HBsAg ELISA and DiaSorin HBsAg ELISA reactive respectively. Of 33 cases genotyped, genotype B were 87.9%( 29/33), including adw2 96.6%(28/29) and adw1 3.4%(1/29), C was observed in 4(12.1%) with sero-type adrq+. Mutations in S gene of genotype B such as Q101R, Q129H, T131I, M133L/T, F134L, G145R, V168A, L175S and V177A were observed as notable mutations, which can affect HBsAg diagnosis. A high frequency mutation C1799G(87.5%, 21/24)were detected in BCP/PC and would reduce the replication of virus. The median viral load measured by qPCR was 49.6(0~628)IU/mL. 【Conclusion】 A small part of donations with low-level HBsAg and NAT-nonreactive can not be deferred by one isolated ELISA screening assay. It is necessary to apply more sensitive and specific HBsAg assays and NAT in blood screening, and improve the ability to detected mutants.

【Objective】 To analyze the results of different methods for reactive samples screened by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in blood donors. 【Methods】 From March to April 2020, a total of 8 632 blood samples in Shenzhen were screened for SARS-CoV-2 total antibodies (TAb, including IgG, IgM, IgA) in plasma using ELISA(PC group), the antibody reactivity samples and their follow up plasma samples (FC group), and samples of disease control group(DC group) from January to April 2020 were detected using the following methods: 1) ELISA method for detecting IgG, IgM, and (or without detection) TAb; 2) pseudovirus neutralizing antibody test(pVNT); 3) western blot (WB) of SARS-CoV-2 antibody. The negative control group(NC group) from February to April 2020 performed ELISA and WB testing. 【Results】 Among the 34 total antibody positive samples, 2 were positive for pVNT test, and the total antibody, IgG and WB in the initial screening and tracking testing were positive. Thereafter, it was determined to be confirmed positive. The other 2 cases were positive for pVNT test, while the samples with positive WB results were in the follow-up stage. The TAb, IgG, and pVNT results did not conform to the dynamic evolution of antibodies, and cannot be determined as confirmed positive. 【Conclusion】 The infection status of antibody reactivity samples screened by SARS-CoV-2 ELISA can be judged by the logic of pVNT, WB and the dynamic change of antibody.

【Objective】 To analyze the SARS-CoV-2 detection results among blood donors in different periods of COVID-19 pandemic control in Shenzhen and assess the antibody levels and infection status of blood donors in different periods, so as to provide reference for subsequent blood testing strategies. 【Methods】 A total of 4 768 plasma samples of blood donors were subjected to pooled testing by nucleic acid testing(NAT) with 8 samples per pool. Additionally, these samples were subjected to a 1000-fold dilution, and the detection of SARS-CoV-2 total antibody was performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The 4 768 plasma samples were collected from blood donors at different time points in Shenzhen, with inquiries made to determine whether donors during the COVID-19 pandemic were in the convalescence. The antibody positive rates in blood screening samples during different periods of the pandemic and samples from individuals in the convalescence of COVID-19 infection were analyzed. Furthermore, the antibody levels were examined for differences based on gender, age, and blood type. 【Results】 All 4 768 plasma samples from blood donors were negative by NAT, while 2 342 samples were detected positive by the SARS-CoV-2 total antibody detection, with a positive rate of 49.1%. These samples from four periods (September 30 to October 3, 2022; November 3 to 6, 2022; December 27 to 31, 2022; January 6 to 18, 2023) were subjected to a 1 000-fold dilution for COVID-19 antibody detection, and the positive rates were 21.3%, 15.8%, 65.9%, and 93.9%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 The prevalence of COVID-19 antibodies among blood donors in Shenzhen during different periods of the pandemic varied significantly. There was no difference in antibody prevalence among different genders and blood types, while younger individuals exhibited a higher prevalence of antibodies. The risk of COVID-19 transmission through blood transfusion was found to be extremely low.

【Objective】 To evaluate the performance and clinical application of a high-throughput nucleic acid blood screening detection system for SARS-CoV-2, so as to provide basis and technical means for its application in detection of plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients. 【Methods】 The SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the sensitivity, precision, anti-interference and other parameters were evaluated. Blood donor samples collected during COVID-19 epidemic period were screened using the detection system to evaluate its applicability. 【Results】 The detection limits of gene N and ORF 1ab were 3.98 copies/mL and 9.38 copies/mL, respectively. The CV of high and low concentration samples were both less than 5%. Hemoglobin at 500 mg/dL and triglyceride at 3g/dL had little effect on the results. The detection system can effectively prevent carryover, thus avoiding false positive results. The SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid blood screening was carried out in a total of 39 306 blood samples, and all samples were negative. 【Conclusion】 The established method can meet the needs of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid screening therefore ensure the safe application of plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients.

【Objective】 To investigate NAT non-reactive results implicated in HBsAg ELISA reactive voluntary blood donors in Shenzhen. 【Methods】 HBsAg ELISA+ but NAT-blood samples were collected, and HBsAg was further retested by TRFIA, Roche ECLIA and neutralization test. HBV DNA of individual donation was detected by commercial Roche MPX and Uultrio Elite, and virus nucleic acid was extracted via 2.5 mL. Molecular characterizations of HBsAg+ /NAT-samples were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) and nested PCR amplifification of the precore and core promoter regions and HBsAg(S) region. HBV serological markers were detected, and the samples with suspicious results were followed up and detected by multi-assay. 【Results】 Among 67 602 samples, 73(0.11%) HBsAg ELISA+ and NAT-blood samples were enrolled in the study. 15(20.5%, 15/73) were confirmed HBsAg+ by TRFIA, ECLI and five alternative DNA assays, and the other 2(2.7%, 2/73) were further identified as HBsAg+ by follow-up study. In 17 confirmed HBsAg+ samples, the viral loads ranged undetectable to 378 IU/mL, with the median of 10.1 IU/mL. Weak correlation was found between HBsAg and HBV DNA load(R2=0.394 4). 【Conclusion】 Some Hepatitis B virus infected blood samples may miss even with different HBsAg assays. Multi-assays with high sensitivity should be combined for blood screening to ensure blood safety..The inconsistent results should be followed up and further tested for hepatitis B serological markers to assist the confirmation.

Advances in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) have fostered rapid developments in the field of microbiome research, and massive microbiome datasets are now being generated. However, the diversity of software tools and the complexity of analysis pipelines make it difficult to access this field. Here, we systematically summarize the advantages and limitations of microbiome methods. Then, we recommend specific pipelines for amplicon and metagenomic analyses, and describe commonly-used software and databases, to help researchers select the appropriate tools. Furthermore, we introduce statistical and visualization methods suitable for microbiome analysis, including alpha- and beta-diversity, taxonomic composition, difference comparisons, correlation, networks, machine learning, evolution, source tracing, and common visualization styles to help researchers make informed choices. Finally, a step-by-step reproducible analysis guide is introduced. We hope this review will allow researchers to carry out data analysis more effectively and to quickly select the appropriate tools in order to efficiently mine the biological significance behind the data.
