Objective To investigate the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (caAMR) after kidney transplantation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 61 patients who underwent renal biopsy and were diagnosed with caAMR. The patients were divided into caAMR group (n=41) and caAMR+TCMR group (n=20) based on the presence or absence of concurrent acute T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR). The patients were followed up for 3 years. The value of 24-hour urinary protein and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the time of biopsy in predicting graft loss was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The independent risk factors affecting caAMR prognosis were analyzed using the LASSO-Cox regression model. The correlation between grouping, outcomes, and Banff scores was compared using Spearman rank correlation matrix analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the renal allograft survival rates of each subgroup. Results The 3-year renal allograft survival rates for the caAMR group and the caAMR+TCMR group were 83% and 79%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting 3-year renal allograft loss was 0.83 ［95% confidence interval (CI) 0.70-0.97］ for eGFR and 0.78 (95% CI 0.61-0.96) for 24-hour urinary protein at the time of biopsy. LASSO-Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that eGFR≤25.23 mL/(min·1.73 m²) and the presence of donor-specific antibody (DSA) against human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I might be independent risk factors affecting renal allograft prognosis, with hazard ratios of 7.67 (95% CI 2.18-27.02) and 5.13 (95% CI 1.33-19.80), respectively. A strong correlation was found between the Banff chronic lesion indicators of renal interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (P<0.05). Conclusions The presence of HLA class I DSA and eGFR≤25.23 mL/(min·1.73 m²) at the time of biopsy may be independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of caAMR.

This article reports a successful case of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease type 2 (PKD2) combined with Robertsonian translocation. The patient carried a heterozygous frameshift mutation ( PKD2 c.428del, p.Gly143Alafs*90) and a Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes 14 and 15. Through combined PGT for monogenic disorders, structural rearrangements and aneuploidy screening, one euploid blastocyst free of the PKD2 mutation was selected from six embryos for transfer, resulting in the successful delivery of a healthy female infant. Follow-up until June 2025 confirmed normal developmental milestones. This case demonstrates that PGT can effectively mitigate dual genetic risks (monogenic disease and chromosomal abnormality), providing critical clinical insights for optimizing reproductive outcomes in patients with complex genetic backgrounds.

Objective:Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors for intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in critically ill patients.Methods:A total of 220 critically ill patients who were admitted to Intensive Care Unit, The First Hospital of Jiaxing from January 2020 to January 2022 were included in this study. The incidence of ICU-AW was recorded. Univariate analysis was conducted to investigate the factors related to ICU-AW, while multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for ICU-AW in critically ill patients.Results:Among the 220 critically ill patients, 64 developed ICU-AW, resulting in an incidence of 29.1% (64/220). There were no significant differences in sex, age, history of alcoholism, history of smoking, marital status, hypertension, diabetes, or use of glucocorticoid (methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection) between the ICU-AW group and the non-ICU-AW group (all P > 0.05). The proportion of patients with sepsis in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [46.9% (30/64) vs. 15.4% (24/156)]. The proportion of patients who were immobilized in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [89.1% (37/64) vs. 64.1% (100/156)]. The use of nerve blocker (vecuronium bromide for injection) was more prevalent in the ICU-AW group than that in the non-ICU-AW group [57.8% (37/64) vs. 23.1% (36/156)]. The Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [16 (11, 23) vs. 12 (8, 17)]. The duration of mechanical ventilation in the ICU-AW group was longer than that in the non-ICU-AW group [8 (4, 13) days vs. 4 (3, 6) days]. The length of hospital stay in the ICU-AW group was longer than that in the non-ICU-AW group [10 (7, 17) days vs. 7 (5, 11) days]. The blood lactate level in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [2 (1, 2) mmol/L vs. 1 (1, 2) mmol/L]. All differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 24.30, 13.83, 24.70, Z = 3.83, 4.59, 3.97, 2.70, all P < 0.05). The results of the univariate analysis, when included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis, showed that sepsis, immobilization, duration of mechanical ventilation, blood lactate level, and Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score were independent risk factors for ICU-AW (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of ICU-AW is high and the risk factors for ICU-AW are complex. Therefore, targeted control of high-risk factors should be actively performed to prevent and treat ICU-AW.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of global surgical site infection(SSI)outbreaks and provide references for targeted prevention and control measures.METHODS SSI outbreak events from Jan.1,1990 to Dec.31,2023 were searched from Wanfang Med,CNKI,VIP and PubMed.Data on department distribution dur-ing the outbreak,duration,investigation methods,main causes,transmission modes,pathogen composition and outbreak outcomes were summarized for analysis.RESULTS A total of 111 SSI outbreaks in 20 countries were identi-fied,involving 1 382 patients and 24 deaths.The source of the outbreak was identified in 78 cases,mainly involving med-ical personnel in 27 cases(34.62％),hospital equipment in 19 cases(24.36％),environmental factors in 11 cases(14.10％),workflow factors in 10 cases(12.82％),hospital water factors in 7 cases(8.97％)and disinfectant fac-tors in 4 cases(5.13％).The duration of SSI outbreaks abroad was 5.00(1.50,12.00)months,longer than that in China[1.00(1.00,2.00)month](P＜0.05).In China,the outbreaks mainly occurred in neurosurgery,cardiac surger-y,orthopedics,obstetrics and general surgery,while at abroad,they mainly occurred in cardiac surgery,orthopedics,and involved multiple surgical departments.Environmental hygiene methods were adopted in up to 90.63％of cases in China.Compared with China,analytical epidemiological methods and molecular epidemiological methods were more com-monly used abroad.Targeted measures and strengthened basic measures were implemented for different outbreak sources to terminate the SSI outbreaks.Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(34 times)was a widely used molecular typing method in outbreak investigations.CONCLUSIONS Based on the analysis of SSI outbreak characteristics and risk factors,it is neces-sary to strengthen medical personnel training and monitoring of special pathogens.At the same time,the epidemiologi-cal investigation capabilities of infection control professionals should be strengthened.

Objective To establish a biotin-avidin system time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay(BAS-TRFIA)for detecting serum soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1(sFlt-1)and evaluate its performance.Methods A BAS-TRFIA was established to quantitatively determine the concentration of sFlt-1 in the serum of pregnant women,which based on the microplate was coated with streptavidin.The monoclonal antibody to capture sFlt-1 was labeled by biotin,and the detection of sFlt-1 monoclonal antibody was labeled by europium.The performance indicators such as lower limit of detection,biological limit of detection,functional sensitivity,precision,linearity,interference test,cross-reaction test,and high dose hook effect of the method were evaluated.A total of 106 remaining serum samples from pregnant women with no hemolysis,jaundice and lipemia at more than 9 weeks were detected by BAS-TRFIA and electrochemiluminescence for methodological comparison study,and the correlation of the comparison test results was analyzed by linear regression.Results The optimal reaction time of the sample was 90 min.The lower limit of detection was 1.00pg/ml.The biological limit of detection was 10.00pg/ml,and the functional sensitivity was 10.00pg/ml.The intra-assay CV and inter-assay CV were both within 5%,and the linear range was 20.00 to 40 000.00pg/ml.The relative bias of the detection results of the 17 interfering samples with interfering substances added to the low-concentration and high-concentration quality controls and the basic samples was within-4.94%～4.24%.The high dose hook effect was not found in sFlt-1 samples up to 150 000pg/ml.When the concentration of sFlt-1 in the sample was 105.40～40 972.00pg/ml,the linear regression equation of BAS-TRFIA and electrochemiluminescence(ECL)detection results was Y=1.086 7X+17.946(r=0.994 4,t=96.26,P＜0.05).Conclusion The quantitative detection of sFlt-1 by BAS-TRFIA has high sensitivity,good precision,wide linear range,strong anti-interference ability,and good correlation with the detection results of reference methods,which is valuable for clinical application.
