A CdTe/ZnSe quantum-dot submicrobead ( QBs ) , which exhibited fluorescence intensity approximately 2800-fold stronger than that of single quantum dots, was conjugated with the anti-histidine rich protein( HRP )-Ⅱ mAbs using N-( 3-( Dimethylamino ) propyl )-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride ( EDC ) method as fluorescence probe. The goat anti-HRP-Ⅱ polyclonal antibodies and donkey anti-mouse polyclonal antibodies were sprayed onto the nitrocellulose membrane as test line and control line, respectively. The resultant fluorescence probes were introduced to the immunochromatographic strip for the quantitative determination of Plasmodium falciparum. For determination of Plasmodium falciparum in serum, the QBs based immunochromatographic strips exhibited a good dynamic linear range from 5 . 8 Parasite/μL to 8010 Parasite/μL with a limit of detection of 5. 8 Parasite/μL. The detection time of the proposed QBs based immunochromatographic strips for each sample was only 15 min. Moreover, the recovery rates of the intra-and inter-assay ranged from 93. 0% to 111. 9%, and 98. 3% to 115. 1% respectively, while the relative standard deviations ( RSDs) of intra-and inter-assay were below 5%.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Ningxin Shugan decoction combined with an antagonist fixation regimen on in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) outcomes and serum kisspeptin expression in infertility patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. MethodsA total of 96 infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome treated in Yancheng No.1 People's Hospital and Yancheng Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine were enrolled in this study and randomized into control and observation groups (n=48). The control group was treated with an antagonist fixation regimen, and the observation group was treated with Ningxin Shugan decoction on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. The total score and single scores of TCM symptoms, ovulation promotion status, and serum levels of reproductive hormones, miR-335-5p, miR-141-3p, and kisspeptin were determined before and after treatment. The IVF-ET outcome indicators and treatment safety were evaluated. Pearson test was conducted to analyze the correlations of serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), kisspeptin, miR-335-5p, and miR-141-3p with IVF-ET outcomes. ResultsThe total response rate in the observation group was 90.91%, which was higher than that (70.45%) in the control group (P<0.05). The total score and single scores of TCM symptoms and the testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and LH/FSH levels declined after treatment (P<0.05), and they were lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of FSH, kisspeptin, miR-335-5p, and miR-141-3p rose in both groups, being higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The observation group showed higher ovulation number, number of MⅡ oocytes, embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and live birth rate than the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Serum levels of FSH, kisspeptin, miR-335-5p, and miR-141-3p were positively correlated with embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and live birth rate (P<0.01). ConclusionNingxin Shugan decoction combined with the antagonist fixation regimen can improve the IVF-ET outcome, promote the serum kisspeptin expression, and increase the ovulation rate and pregnancy rate in infertility patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Objective:To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results:After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea ( Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.
