Objective To study the expression of signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM)CD150 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)isolated from adult non-responders to recombined yeast gene hepatitis B vaccine.Methods A total of 202 cases were recruited.All these subjects had been immunized with recombined yeast gene hepatitis B vaccine for more than one standard scheme in two years(from Sep 2007 to Dec 2009)and remained negative for hepatitis B markers(HBsAg,anti-HBs,HBeAg,anti-HBe and anti-HBc).After recruitment,all 202 subjects received another standard scheme(0,1 and 6 month)revaccination.The blood samples were collected 7 months later after the first injection of revaccination to detect anti-HBs titer.The PBMCs were isolated from 18 adult non-responders(anti-HBs titer<10 mIU/mL)and 18 adult responders(antiHBs titer≥100 mIU/mL).CD150 expression on cell surface was analyzed by flow cytometry.SAS package was used for t test and spearman rank correlation analysis.Results After rHBsAg stimulation,the percentage of PBMCs expressed CD150 was significantly higher in non-responders (39.20%±10.66%)than responders(23.73%±12.41%)(t=2.1947,P<0.05).The same trend was also observed in rHBsAg stimulated C133+CD4+T cells,but the difference was not statistically significant(49.64%±11.94%vs 37.73%±11.02%)(t=1. 7175,P>0.05).After phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)stimulation,the percentage of CD150-positive PBMCs was also significantly higher in non-responders (39.21%±7.37%)than responders(23.18%±12.68%)(t=2.2835,P<0.05).CD150 expressions in both PBMCs and CD3+CD4+T cells were negatively correlated with anti-HBs titer after rHBsAg stimulation (r=-0.726,P<0.05).Conclusion Activation of CD150 may contribute to the non-response to hepatitis B vaccine.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between intracellular calcium level and neutrophil migration dysfunction in patients with sepsis.Methods:This study retrospectively collected 21 blood samples of patients with sepsis in the First Hospital of Jilin University from December 2017 to September 2018, and 20 healthy people were included as the control group. Peripheral blood neutrophils were isolated from the healthy controls and patients with sepsis using magnetic-activated cell sorting. Multichannel microfluidic microarray technology was used to detect the chemotactic migration of neutrophils. The levels of calcium in neutrophils from healthy controls and sepsis patients as well as in neutrophils from healthy controls that were pretreated with calcium chelators BAPTA-AM and EDTA were detected by flow cytometry using the calcium indicator Fluo-4.Results:The intracellular calcium levels were lower in neutrophils from sepsis patients than in those from healthy controls ( P<0.01). BAPTA-AM and EDTA could reduce the calcium level in neutrophils of healthy controls ( P<0.01). Microfluidics revealed that the migration speed, distance and gap-passing rate of neutrophils in microfluidics were significantly reduced after the decrease of intracellular calcium ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Reduced calcium levels in neutrophils of patients with sepsis may be closely related to the decreased cell migration. This study suggests that the migration impairment of neutrophils can be improved by regulating intracellular calcium levels, which provides a new idea for further research.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(10):1512-1515
Objective:
To describe bullying victimization of middle school students in Dalian and associated factors, so as to provide scientific basis for campus bullying prevention.
Methods:
The stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 2 540 middle school students from urban and rural areas in Dalian, who were investigated with campus bullying victimization and related factors.
Results:
The reported rate of campus bullying victimization among middle school students in Dalian was 25.11%. The rates of physical violence (5.99%, 3.66%) and verbal violence(24.93%, 15.87%) of male students were higher than that of female students( χ 2=6.56, 27.94, P <0.05). The rates of verbal violence (22.84%, 16.25%) and emotional neglect(16.84%, 13.18%) of junior high school students were higher than those of high school students( χ 2=14.21, 5.44, P < 0.05 ). The rates of physical violence(6.07%, 3.55%), verbal violence(24.58%, 16.05%) and emotional neglect(18.88%, 12.06 %) of rural students were higher than those of urban students( χ 2=7.72, 24.81, 19.64, P <0.05). Male students, junior high school students and rural students suffered more severe campus bullying than female students, high school students and urban students( Z =3.46, 3.75, 5.89, P <0.01). The structural equation model showed that academic performance (path coefficient -0.003) and father s education (path coefficient -0.004 ) have a direct negative effect on campus bullying behavior, while mother s education (indirect action coefficient -0.000 8), height(indirect action coefficient -0.000 3), father s education (indirect action coefficient -0.000 3) and weight (indirect action coefficient 0.000 2) indirect effects on campus bullying through academic performance.
Conclusion
The prevalence of campus bullying victimization among middle school students in Dalian is relatively high, which worths further attention to. Rural students, junior high school students and boys are more likely to suffer campus bullying. Improving academic performance might be beneficial for campus bullying prevention.

Objective:
Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) is one of the severe complications of ischemic stroke thrombolysis. Several prognostic scales have been developed to predict the risk of sICH. The performance of seven scales was compared in a single center cohort.
Methods:
Data of patients with consecutive ischemic stroke who received 0.9 mg/kg intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) thrombolysis within 4.5 h time window from stroke onset were collected. Seven scales that can provide an estimate of risk of sICH were identified and evaluated: Hemorrhage After Thrombolysis (HAT), blood Sugar, Early infarct signs, (hyper) Dense cerebral artery sign, Age, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stroke Scale (SEDAN), Stroke Prognostication using Age and NIH Stroke Scale (SPAN)-100, Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke (SITS), Total Health Risks In Vascular Events (THRIVE), Glucose at presentation, Race (Asia), Age, Sex (male), systolic blood Pressure at presentation, and Severity of stroke at presentation (NIH Stroke Scale; GRASPS) and Multicenter Stroke Survey (MSS). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was calculated and Logistic regression and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were also performed.
Results:
The current study included 293 patients, of whom 7.85% (23/293) had sICH by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (SICHNINDS), 5.46% (16/293) by Europe Cooperative Acute Stroke Study Ⅱ (SICHECASSⅡ) and 4.44% (13/293) by Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke (SICHSITS) criteria. SEDAN had the highest AUROC for predicting sICH: sICHNINDS: AUROC=0.843,
