Objective: To explore the association between the HLA antibody positivity rate in female blood donors and pregnancy history, number of pregnancies, interval from the last pregnancy to blood donation, and age, to identify associated variables using a univariate generalized additive model (GAM), and to further analyze the predictive role of characteristic variables for HLA antibody positivity using a random forest model. Methods: HLA antibody detection was performed on 391 female blood donors using the Luminex immunomagnetic bead method. The correlation between pregnancy-related factors and HLA antibodies was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Based on R software, a univariate GAM was first constructed to analyze the association types between characteristic variables and the HLA antibody positivity rate, followed by the construction of a random forest model to evaluate the predictive value of the variables. Results: Among the 391 female blood donors without a transfusion history, the overall HLA antibody positivity rate was 26.34%. The positivity rate in donors with a pregnancy history was significantly higher than that in those without (30.09% vs 9.72%, P<0.05), and HLA antibody positivity rate increased linearly with the number of pregnancies (P<0.05). In the univariate GAM, age and number of deliveries exhibited a non-linear association with the HLA antibody positivity rate (the positivity rate increased sharply between 25-35 years of age and stabilized after 3 deliveries). Besides, the interval from the last pregnancy to blood donation showed a linear association with the HLA antibody positivity rate, and the positivity rate decreased as the interval prolonged (P<0.05). In the random forest model, age (mean decrease gini=29.26) and interval from the last pregnancy to blood donation (mean decrease gini=22.02) were core predictive variables: age was more conducive to identifying positive samples, while the interval from the last pregnancy to blood donation was more helpful for excluding negative samples. The number of deliveries (mean decrease accuracy=16.98) made a significant contribution to predicting positive samples, whereas the number of abortions had no impact. The model had an AUC of 0.583 (95% CI: 0.593 8-0.770 2), indicating a certain predictive value. Conclusion: The associated variables identified by the univariate GAM model, including age, interval from the last pregnancy to blood donation, and number of deliveries, provide a basis for key variables in the random forest model. All three variables have predictive value for HLA antibody positivity, which can provide evidence-based support for personalized transfusion management and stratified screening of female blood donors in this region.

Aim To investigate the effect of oroxylin A(OA)on apoptosis in Ishikawa cell line of endometrial cancer and the underlying mechanism through the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT)signaling pathway.Methods Ishikawa cells were treated with different concentrations of OA(0,4,8,10,12,and 20 μmol·L-1)for 24 h-72 h,the cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay,apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,and the protein ex-pression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),PI3K/AKT,recombinant cytochrome P450 1B1(CYP1B1),and catechol-O-methyltransferase(COMT)were detected by Western blot technique.Results OA inhibited the prolifera-tion of Ishikawa cells in a concentration-and time-de-pendent manner.Compared with the blank control group,the expression of Bax protein increased signifi-cantly,while the expression of Bcl-2 protein decreased significantly with the increase of OA concentration.The expression of COMT protein increased significant-ly,while the expression of CYP1B1 protein decreased significantly.PI3K/AKT:IGF-1(PI3 K agonist)sup-plementation reversed the effect,the expression of COMT protein significantly decreased,and the expres-sion of CYP1B1 protein significantly increased.Con-clusions OA exerts anti-tumor effects in Ishikawa cells of endometrial cancer,which may be related to cell apoptosis mediated by the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the correlation and predictive value of the blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio (BAR) in the development of sepsis among patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).Methods:A total of 410 patients diagnosed with ACLF who were admitted to Wuxi Fifth People′s Hospital between January 1st, 2020 and December 31st, 2024 were enrolled in this study. Demographic information, laboratory test indicators, and other clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Participants were stratified into two groups using a 6∶4 allocation ratio, comprising a training set of 246 patients and a validation set of 164 patients, the clinical data of two groups were compared. Logistic regression was employed to evalute the influencing factors of sepsis during hospitalization in ACLF patients. Additionally, the predictive value of different factors for sepsis occurrence was evaluated using receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis. DeLong test was used to compare the area under the curve.Results:The comparison of baseline data between the training set and the validation set revealed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). A total of 197 sepsis cases were observed during the study period. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that both BAR and the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score were independent influencing factors for sepsis development in ACLF patients (odds ratio ( OR)=1.274, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.075 to 1.510, P=0.005; OR=1.142, 95% CI 1.038 to 1.256, P=0.006). In the training set, the area under the curve (AUC) of BAR for predicting sepsis in ACLF patients was 0.802, which was superior to that of the SOFA score (AUC=0.706) ( Z=2.16, P=0.031). The validation set showed the predictive ability of BAR with an AUC of 0.726, which was superior to the SOFA score′s performance (AUC=0.606) ( Z=2.28, P=0.023). Conclusions:BAR could independently predict sepsis development in ACLF patients with significant prognostic value. BAR could be used as a clinically useful biomarker for sepsis risk stratification.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism of colon dialysis with Yishen Decoction (YS) in improving the autophagy disorder of intestinal epithelial cells in chronic renal failure (CRF) in vivo and in vitro. METHODS: Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal, CRF, and colonic dialysis with YS groups by a random number table method (n=10). The CRF model was established by orally gavage of adenine 200 mg/(kg•d) for 4 weeks. CRF rats in the YS group were treated with colonic dialysis using YS 20 g/(kg•d) for 14 consecutive days. The serum creatinine (SCr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Pathological changes of kidney and colon tissues were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Autophagosome changes in colonic epithelial cells was observed with electron microscopy. In vitro experiments, human colon cancer epithelial cells (T84) were cultured and divided into normal, urea model (74U), YS colon dialysis, autophagy activator rapamycin (Ra), autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA), and SIRT1 activator resveratrol (Re) groups. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), Claudin-1, silent information regulator sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), LC3, and Beclin-1 both in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS: Colonic dialysis with YS decreased SCr and BUN levels in CRF rats (P<0.05), and alleviated the pathological changes of renal and colon tissues. Expressions of SIRT1, ZO-1, Claudin-1, Beclin-1, and LC3II/I were increased in the YS group compared with the CRF group in vivo (P<0.05). In in vitro study, compared with normal group, the expressions of SIRT1, ZO-1, and Claudin-1 were decreased, and expressions of Beclin-1, and LC3II/I were increased in the 74U group (P<0.05). Compared with the 74U group, expressions of SIRT1, ZO-1, and Claudin-1 were increased, whereas Beclin-1, and LC3II/I were decreased in the YS group (P<0.05). The treatment of 3-MA and rapamycin regulated autophagy and the expression of SIRT1. SIRT1 activator intervention up-regulated autophagy as well as the expressions of ZO-1 and Claudin-1 compared with the 74U group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Colonic dialysis with YS could improve autophagy disorder and repair CRF intestinal mucosal barrier injury by regulating SIRT1 expression in intestinal epithelial cells.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis(PAP)is a rare progressive respiratory dysfunction disease of the lung characterized by insidious onset and non-specific clinical manifestations,often leading to misdiagnosed and mistreated.Herein,we reported a case of PAP patient admitted to Jiading District Central Hospital with an atypical appearance of alveolar lavage fluid and whose condition improved significantly after treatment with subcutaneous injection of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF).Additionally,we have reviewed and summarized the relevant literature to enhance the understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Objective To characterize the changing species distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of respiratory isolates in hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Commercial automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems and disk diffusion method were used to test the susceptibility of respiratory bacterial isolates to antimicrobial agents following the standardized technical protocol established by the CHINET program.Results A total of 589 746 respiratory isolates were collected from 2015 to 2021.Overall,82.6％of the isolates were Gram-negative bacteria and 17.4％were Gram-positive bacteria.The bacterial isolates from outpatients and inpatients accounted for(6.0±0.9)％and(94.0±0.1)％,respectively.The top microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Acinetobacter spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Staphylococcus aureus,Haemophilus spp.,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,Escherichia coli,and Streptococcus pneumoniae.Each microorganism was isolated from significantly more males than from females(P＜0.05).The overall prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)was 39.9％.The prevalence of penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was 1.4％.The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL)-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae was 67.8％and 41.3％,respectively.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Acinetobacter baumannii was 3.7％,20.8％,9.4％,29.8％,and 73.3％,respectively.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 96.1％in Moraxella catarrhalis and 60.0％in Haemophilus influenzae.The H.influenzae isolates from children(＜18 years)showed significantly higher resistance rates to β-lactam antibiotics than the isolates from adults(P＜0.05).Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are still predominant in respiratory isolates associated with serious antibiotic resistance.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be strengthened in clinical practice to support accurate etiological diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.

Objective To investigate the clinical advantages and safety of an acupoint auto-positioning moxibustion robot combined with massage techniques in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.Methods Totally 114 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated between June 2021 and December 2023 at Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the Outpatient Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Changhai Hospital and Shanghai Third Rehabilitation Hospital were divided into control group and experimental group with random number table method,with 57 cases in each group.The control group received conventional moxibustion combined with massage techniques,while the experimental group was treated using an acupoint auto-positioning moxibustion robot combined with massage techniques.Both groups underwent treatment once every three days,totaling 10 sessions over one month.Clinical efficacy was observed between the two groups by comparing pre-treatment and post-treatment(after 3,6 and 10 sessions)scores on the visual analogue scale(VAS)for pain,the Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)lower back pain score,and lumbar range of motion(LROM).Adverse reactions during the intervention were recorded.Satisfaction with the moxibustion robot in the experimental group was assessed using a Likert scale.Additionally,20 healthy subjects were recruited to evaluate the accuracy of the robot's acupoint auto-positioning function.Results The overall effective rate was 91.23%(52/57)in the experimental group and 94.74%(54/57)in the control group,without statistical significance between the two groups(P>0.05).Compared to pre-treatment,both groups showed significant improvements in VAS scores,JOA scores and LROM across all measured directions after 3,6,and 10 treatment sessions(P<0.001).In the Likert scale assessment,86.96%of subjects agreed that the device was convenient to use,87.72%agreed that the device was safer than conventional moxibustion therapy,and 94.74%were willing to recommend the device to other patients.The accuracy evaluation of the acupoint auto-positioning moxibustion robot demonstrated that the average deviation between robot-positioned acupoints and standard acupoints was(1.68±0.46)mm,achieving a positioning accuracy rate exceeding 95%.No adverse reactions were reported during the intervention.Conclusion The combination of an acupoint auto-positioning moxibustion robot with massage techniques is as effective as conventional moxibustion combined with massage techniques in improving clinical symptoms,alleviating pains,enhancing lumbar function and increasing lumbar mobility in patients with lumbar disc herniation.Participants have exhibited a high willingness to use the device,and the robot achieved a high accuracy rate in acupoint positioning.
