Results With a follow-up for 3 months to 3 years,the patients who underwent this modified central pedicle technique,had an invisible scar,good projection,the better shape of breast and preserved their sensation of nipple-areola complex.Conclusions Modified central pedicle technique is a safe and reliable technique,especially ideal for Chinese women.The blood supply is rich and the sensation of nipple-areola complex is preserved.The fixation of the gland tissue is more important than the dermal-bra.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between positive rate and titer of hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) and CD4 + T lymphocyte count level in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients after hepatitis B virus (HBV) exposure. Methods:A total of 4 893 HIV-infected patients were admitted to Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2010 to December 2018. The demographic data, HIV-related diagnosis, treatment information, CD4 + T lymphocyte count and serum markers of HBV infection of HIV infected patients were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped according to the CD4 + T lymphocyte count and serum markers of HBV infection, and the differences of anti-HBs positive rate and HBV exposure rate in patients with different CD4 + T lymphocyte counts were compared.The differences of CD4 + T lymphocyte count in patients with different titer of anti-HBs were compared. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square test, analysis of variance or t test. Results:Patients with HIV infection were divided into CD4 + T lymphocyte count<200/μL group (3 293 cases), 200-500/μL group (1 200 cases) and CD4 + T lymphocyte count>500/μL group (400 cases). The HBV exposure rates in the three groups were 78.0%(2 569/3 293), 77.0%(924/1 200) and 76.2%(305/400), respectively. The anti-HBs positive rates were 38.2%(1 258/3 293), 53.8%(645/1 200) and 62.5%(250/400), respectively. The anti-HBs titers were (120.00±36.45) IU/L, (148.00±26.40) IU/L and (212.00±92.08) IU/L, respectively. The exposure rates of HBV in the three groups were similar ( χ2=0.992, P=0.609), but the positive rates and titers of anti-HBs were significantly different ( χ2=146.779 and F=45.362, respectively, both P<0.01). When the patients were grouped by anti-HBs titer, 2 740 cases were divided into anti-HBs negative group (<10 IU/L), 1 220 cases in low anti-HBs group (10-99 IU/L), 693 cases in medium anti-HBs group (100-499 IU/L) and 240 cases in high anti-HBs group (≥500 IU/L). The CD4 + T lymphocyte count levels of the four groups were (150.00±8.42)/μL, (185.00±7.08)/μL, (243.00±12.07)/μL and (308.00±22.60)/μL, respectively. The overall CD4 + T lymphocyte count levels among the four groups were significantly different ( F=68.479, P<0.01). Among the 90 HIV infected patients who received anti-retroviral therapy (ART), the anti-HBs titer increased from (91.96±21.87) IU/L to (200.76±56.43) IU/L after treatment, and the anti-HBs level before and after treatment was significantly different ( t=-2.542, P=0.035). Among 208 patients with negative HBV markers, no patients had hepatitis B surface antigen switched to positive when monitored for an interval time of (26.2±5.3) months. Conclusions:The risk of HBV exposure in patients with HIV infection is not significantly related to the disease stage, but the positive rate and titer of anti-HBs are significantly positively correlated with CD4 + T lymphocyte count level. The monitoring of anti-HBs and the serum markers of HBV infection in the same individual is conducive to the in-depth understanding of the protective effect of anti-HBs and the scientific evaluation of the risk of infection after HBV exposure.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of liver fibrosis in patients with HBV infection detected by ultrasound transient elastography.Methods:A total of 2 689 patients with HBV infection who received liver transient elastography examination at the Department of Hepatology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from November 2021 to April 2022 were enrolled in the study. The severity of liver fibrosis was graded according to the liver stiffness value. The association of liver fibrosis detection rate with gender, age and physiological stages of patients was analyzed, and the correlation between liver stiffness value and HBV DNA, HBsAg, HBeAg level, alanine aminotransferase (AST), aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) and serum albumin levels was further analyzed.Results:Among 2 689 patients with chronic HBV infection, there were 1 417 males aged 46 (34, 57) years and 1 272 females aged 45 (33, 55) years. A total of 1 382 patients (51.03%) showed varying degrees of liver fibrosis, including 381 cases (14.20%) of significant liver fibrosis and 259 (9.60%) cases of progressive fibrosis. Male patients had a significantly higher prevalence of liver fibrosis than that of female patients [60.78%(840/1 382) vs. 39.22%(542/1 382), χ2=74.566, P<0.001]. There were significant differences in liver stiffness values and liver fibrosis detection rates ( F=46.516, 199.079, P<0.001) among patients of different age groups. The liver stiffness index (9.41±4.49 vs. 8.10±3.89, t=9.011, P<0.001) and the prevalence of liver fibrosis in males was higher than those in females in age groups younger than 60 years [61.59%(643/1 044) vs. 38.41%(401/1 044), χ2=78.418, P<0.001]; However, there was no significant gender difference in people over 60 years of age [73.80%(200/271) vs. 71.71%(142/198), χ2=0.252, P>0.05; 20.30%(55/271) vs. 21.21%(42/198), χ2=0.059, P>0.05]. The prevalence of liver fibrosis was significantly lower in premenopausal and perimenopausal females than that in males of the same age groups [29.70%(188/633)and 52.20%(154/295) vs. 64.50%(202/313), χ 2=56.683, P<0.001; χ 2=9.519, P=0.029], whereas there was no significant difference between postmenopausal females and males in the same age group [65.40%(220/336) vs. 72.20%(319/441), χ 2=5.822, P=0.061]. The prevalence of liver fibrosis increased significantly in postmenopausal females as compared to premenopausal females[38.40%(497/1 294) vs. 67.50%(532/787), χ 2=56.683, P=0.002]. The value of liver stiffness in patients with chronic HBV infection was positively correlated with total bilirubin, AST and ALT levels( r=0.208, 0.227, 0.218, P<0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of liver fibrosis detected by ultrasound transient elastography in chronic HBV-infected patients is substantial, the liver stiffness value and detection rate are higher in males than those in females, however, the prevalence is increased in postmenopausal females. The liver stifness value is related to some biochemical indicators of the liver.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of renal changes in patients with Kimura disease and improve the clinicians′ understanding on renal manifestations of Kimura disease.Methods:The clinical data of Kimura disease patients with definite diagnosis and detailed data in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1980 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into renal impairment group and non-renal impairment group according to whether the kidney was involved or not and the related clinical data between the two groups were compared. The patients presenting with nephrotic syndrome were followed up.Results:There were 60 patients with Kimura disease confirmed by pathological diagnosis with 48 males. The median age was 33(3, 62) years old, and the median duration was 36(12, 111) months. There were 18 cases complicated with renal injury in 49 patients with complete routine urine and renal function examination and the main manifestations of renal injury were proteinuria and/or microscopic hematuria. There was no significant difference at age, sex and absolute value of eosinophils between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the renal inpairment group, patients in non-renal inpairment group had longer course of disease, higher levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and lower median values of total eosinophils and total IgE, but there was no statistically significant difference (all P>0.05). Among the patients with renal involvement, 6 patients met the diagnostic criteria for nephrotic syndrome, and 5 of them completed renal biopsies. The renal pathological diagnosis was membranous nephropathy in 2 cases and minimal change disease in 3 cases, and no interstitial eosinophil infiltration was found in renal biopsy tissues. These patients had a good response to glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressive therapy, and achieved complete remission of nephrotic syndrome; at the same time, lymphadenopathy caused by Kimura disease could be well controlled. Conclusions:Kimura disease can combine with various renal lesions, and the pathology of nephrotic syndrome can be membranous nephropathy or minimal change nephropathy. After energetic treatment of glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressive therapy, nephrotic syndrome can be completely relieved, and lymphadenopathy can be well controlled. The relationship between Kimura disease and renal disease needs further study.

【Objective】 To analyze the related factors affecting first-time platelet donors to become regular donors in Guangzhou in 2018, so as to provide reference for the retention of platelet donors. 【Methods】 The data of 4 361 first-time platelet donors in Guangzhou in 2018, including age, gender, initial donation unit, time for the primary and secondary donation were collected. The relevant factors affecting first-time blood donors to become regular donors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. 【Results】 Among the influencing factors, first-time donors returned in the first month were more likely to become regular donors (5.569 times that of those did not return)(OR 95% CI: 4.748~6.533, P<0.05). First-time donors who aged 45~60, and initially donated 2 units were more likely to become regular donors than those aged 18~24(1.857 times) (OR 95% CI: 1.413~2.441, P<0.05), and those initially donated only one unit (1.695 time) (OR 95% CI: 1.486~1.933, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The returning in the first month, age and initial donation units predict long-term commitment for first-time donors. Encouraging first-time platelet donors to return within 1 month is more likely to convert them into regular blood donors.

【Objective】 To apply the spatial distribution analysis based on ArcGIS software, which has been applied widely in other fields, so as to analyze the intended locations for whole blood donation. 【Methods】 After a random stratified sampling was conducted among blood donors in the 17 donation sites during August 1st, 2021- July 30th, 2022, their intended blood donation locations were collected by an e-questionnaire. Addresses of donors′ intended donation locations were derived for GCJ-02 coordinates form and transformed by pandas module of Python to WGS84 coordinates, which further loaded to ArcGIS Arcmap module using Grouping Analysis for 17 median centers. The addresses of 17 blood donation sites in Guangzhou Blood Center were transformed to WGS84 coordinates and loaded to ArcGIS Arcmap module using the same methods for 3 ring buffer analysis. The criterion for judging whether the two were " matched" was whether the intended blood donation sites were covered by or adjacent to the 3 ring buffer zone of the existing blood donation sites. 【Results】 Of the 17 potential sites obtained from the spatial distribution analysis of 40 523 valid addresses of donors, 8 sites were covered or adjacent to the buffer of the existing donation sites, while the other 9 sites were far away from the existing donation sites. 【Conclusion】 By analyzing the spatial distribution of donors′ intended donation addresses, we can find out the service needs of donors for donating blood conveniently, which can provide basis for further blood donation service optimization.

【Objective】 To study and analyze the fluctuation of peripheral blood of apheresis platelet donors aged 56~60, so as to provide data support for safe recruitment and retention of elderly donorsin China. 【Methods】 Elderly apheresisplatelet donors, aged 56~60, donated for 6 769 occasions from 2017 to 2019 in Guangzhou Blood Center were analyzed retrospectively and grouped by gender and age. The fluctuation of peripheral blood was analyzed byone way ANOVA.Further pairwise comparison was carried out by Turky if there were statistical differences. 【Results】 All the peripheral blood levels were statistically significant between men and women aged around 56 (P<0.05). The Plt(×10⁹ / L), RBC(×10¹² / L) and Hb(g/L) of women after and before 56 were (274.33±49.47) vs (296.61±44.89), (4.48±0.35) vs (4.4±0.3), and (125.87±9.08) vs (128.33±8.79), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), while no differences was noticed between them inWBC(×10⁹ / L) and Hct, (6.29±1.36) vs (6.26±1.46) and (0.39±0.05) vs (0.39±0.02), respectively(P>0.05). The RBC(10¹² / L), Hb(g/L), WBC(×10⁹ / L) and Hctof men after and before 56 were (4.94±0.39) vs (4.91±0.35), (137.15±12.83) vs (141.29±10.67), (5.77±1.23) vs (6.03±1.26) and (0.42±0.03) vs (0.42±0.03), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), and no significant difference was noticed in Plt(×10⁹ / L)(283.94±59.63) vs (283.5±62.7)(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in Plt between men and women after 56 (P>0.05). The RBC, Hb and Hct of men around 56 were higher than those of women (P<0.05). The deferral rate of pretransfusion blood testing increased as the platelet donors were older than 56, showing statistical significance(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Fluctuation of peripheral blood levelof platelet donors aged 56~60 occurred when they were around 56 years old, but within the normal range.Therefore, blood donation is generally safe under the current policy. As the physiological regulation function of these donors has decreased, the monitoring of peripheral blood routine before and after blood donation needs to be strengthened to ensure blood quality and the health of elderly platelet donors.
