Objective To preliminarily investigate the safety and efficacy of donor pancreas needle biopsy in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 7 cases undergoing donor pancreas biopsy were collected retrospectively. All cases underwent donor pancreas biopsy before or during simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Frozen section or paraffin sectioning techniques were used for tissue preparation, and hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining were performed to histologically evaluate the donor pancreas. The quality of donor pancreas was comprehensively assessed by combining histological findings with the donor's clinical data. Postoperative follow-up data of 5 simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant recipients were collected to summarize the safety of donor pancreas biopsy and the prognosis of transplant recipients. Results The 7 pancreas donors were aged 28 to 62 years, with a body mass index ranging from 20.76 to 27.68 kg/m². Liver ultrasound indicated fatty liver in 3 cases, while pancreatic ultrasound did not reveal any significant abnormalities. Among them, biopsy was performed on 2 donors after completion of pancreatic procurement and processing, and the frozen section histology showed moderate acute pancreatitis changes (edema of acinar cells, necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration). Combined with a serum amylase level elevated more than 3 times the upper limit of normal value, these two donor pancreases were finally discarded. The remaining 5 cases underwent biopsy immediately after pancreatic vascular anastomosis during simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, and histological evaluation was performed on paraffin-embedded sections. No biopsy-related complications (such as bleeding, pancreatic fistula, etc.) occurred after transplantation. One recipient died of severe infection 2 months after transplantation, while the other 4 recipients were followed up for more than 5 years, with well-functioning transplant kidneys and pancreases. Conclusions Donor pancreas biopsy is relatively safe, and the risk of biopsy-related complications after transplantation is controllable. Comprehensive assessment of donor pancreas quality by combining histological evaluation with the donor's clinical indicators is conducive to improving the accuracy of donor pancreas selection and organ utilization.

Objective To analyze the status of 2 649 suspected pertussis patients in Xi'an and the changes in laboratory diagnostic indi-cators.Methods 2 649 patients with suspected pertussis who visited the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from June 2023 to May 2025 were collected as the research subjects.Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from the patients,and pertussis nucleic acid was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-fluorescence probe method.Laboratory diagnostic indicators were an-alyzed.Results Among the 2 649 samples tested,250 were positive for pertussis nucleic acid,with a positive detection rate of 9.44%.The detection rate in male patients was 9.37%(127/1 356),and in female patients was 9.51%(123/1 293),with difference no was statis-tically significant between the two groups(χ2=0.019,P=0.894).There was a statistically significant difference in the positive detection rate among different age groups(χ2=46.473,P<0.05),with the highest positive detection rate in the 7～19 age group(14.98%).The prevalence of pertussis showed a seasonal characteristic with a peak from April to September.21.2%(53/250)of the positive patients were mixed infections.In the 1～14 age group,the white blood cell count(WBC),lymphocyte percentage(LYMP%),and lymphocyte count(LYMP#)in the pertussis infection group were higher than those in the Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP)infection group(t=10.179,5.819,8.614)and the Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)infection group(t=16.570,2.618,7.185),and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.01),respectively.In the＞14 age group,the LYMP%and LYMP#in the pertussis infection group were higher than those in the MP infection group(t=3.275,2.319)and the RSV infection group(t=2.401,4.617),and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion The pertussis infection status in Xi'an area from 2023 to 2025 shows significant char-acteristics in terms of age,season and laboratory test results.It is necessary to further improve the pertussis surveillance system in this area,optimize the clinical diagnosis and treatment process and strengthen the vaccination work of pertussis vaccine.

Objective To explore the identification method,pathogenesis,clinical characteristics and individualized pharmacotherapy of asymptomatic hyperuricemia after renal transplantation.Methods The pharmacist was on duty at the organ transplant outpatient clinic.During this time,they analyzed and sorted out the medications,identified and differentiated a case of asymptomatic hyperuricemia related to spironolactone in a patient who had undergone a renal transplant,and provided comprehensive care throughout the entire process.Results The asymptomatic hyperuricemia in this patient might be associated with spironolactone,and the adverse reactions of the patient were alleviated by pharmacists through optimizing clinical treatment.Up to now,no hyperuricemia occurred.Conclusions Pharmacists are required to collaborate closely with clinicians to establish medication profiles for patients under long-term follow-up and to closely monitor and evaluate drug-related adverse reactions.Additionally,they should assess the renal function and immune status of transplant recipients promptly and formulate individualized treatment plans in order to enhance the long-term survival of both the transplanted kidneys and the recipients.

Macrophage polarization is involved in the entire process of the occurrence and development of knee osteoarthritis(KO A).By polarizing into distinct functional phenotypes,macrophages play key regulatory roles in the initiation of inflammation,matrix degradation,suppression of cartilage formation,and progression of the disease.The M1-type macrophages secrete numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines to exacerbate the inflammatory responses and promote the destruction of articular cartilage.Conversely,the M2-type macrophages help maintain the extracellular matrix homeostasis and facilitate cartilage formation by releasing anti-inflammatory factors while suppressing the secretion of inflammatory factors,thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects and promoting tissue repair.Recent studies have shown that an imbalanced ratio of M1/M2 macrophages(M1/M2 ratio)is closely linked with both the pathogenesis and progression of KO A.Restoration of the dynamic balance between these two subtypes could be an essential strategy for treating and preventing KO A.This article reviewed the current literatures retrieved from PubMed and CNKI databases using the keywords"knee osteoarthritis"and"macrophages"over the past decade.The review introduced the process of macrophage polarization and the mechanisms of different macrophage phenotypes in KOA,and further discussed the recent advances in modulating the M1/M2 ratio for KOA management through chemical drugs,bioactive molecules,and traditional Chinese medicine and so on,aiming to provide the theoretical insights for future research and clinical interventions.

Objective To provide an effective strategy for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced infections by preparing platelet membrane-modified catalase/silica nanoparticles(PCNP)capable of targeting leukocytes.Methods PCNP and catalase/silica nanoparticles(CNP)were prepared by using platelet membrane,catalase(CAT)and silica,and its biological safety was preliminarily evaluated with cell survival test,hemolysis test and acute toxicity test in mice after tail vein administration;The culture medium,FITC labeled(FITC+)PCNP and FITC labeled(FITC+)CNP were co-incubated with human peripheral blood B lymphocytes(AHH-1)and mouse monocyte macrophages(RAW264.7),respectively.Thus,there were control group,FITC+PCNP group and FITC+CNP group of AHH-1 and RAW264.7 cells.Laser confocal microscopy was used to observe the intracellular fluorescence intensity of PCNP to evaluate the leukocytes targeting function.AHH-1 cells were divided into control,irradiation,platelet membrane,CNP(100 μg/mL)and PCNP(100 μg/mL)groups.After corresponding co-incubation,the cell media were exposed to6 Gy Co60 γ irradiation.The generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and cell apoptosis were measured to determine the effect of nanoparticles on reducing radiation injury of leukocytes.Twenty C57BL/6 male mice(weighing 18～20 g)were randomly divided into irradiation group(n=10)and 10 mg/kg PCNP group(n=10).In 2 h after corresponding agents were injected into the mice through tail vein,the mice received whole-body irradiation of 5 Gy Co60 γ ray,and then in 2 h later,they were given intraperitoneal injection of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(MDR-AB).The infection inhibitory effect of PCNP after irradiation was evaluated by detecting the bacterial load in main organs.Results The hydration particle of PCNP is 91.3 nm in size,and does not exhibit significant cytotoxicity or hemolytic toxicity at concentrations＜400 μg/mL.Intravenous injection of 20 mg/kg PCNP resulted in normal increase in the body weight but no obvious pathological changes in the major organs such as the heart,liver,spleen,lungs,and kidneys.In AHH-1 and RAW264.7 cells,PCNP showed significant advantages in targeting compared to the FITC+CNP group[(15.45±3.48)%vs(9.33±2.03)%,P＜0.01;(11.25±2.08)%vs(7.06±0.71)%,P＜0.001].PCNP also effectively reduced the generation of ROS[(22.73±3.71)%vs(60.90±9.08)%,P＜0.001]and apoptotic rate[(9.84±0.92)%vs(38.96±3.62)%,P＜0.001]in AHH-1 cells.In in vitro study,bacterial colonization after irradiation showed that there was significantly less MDR-AB colonies in the spleen of mice intervened with PCNP than those of the irradiation group[(17.50±1.38)×104 vs(13.20±2.29)×106 CFU/g,P＜0.001].Conclusion PCNP can effectively inhibit the complications of radiation infection in mice,which is due to its direct protective effect on leukocytes.

Objective To investigate the value of CT perfusion imaging (CTP) combined with serum eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)/arachidonic acid (AA) in predicting hemorrhage transformation and short-term prognosis after thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with leukoaraiosis. Methods Ninety-eight AIS patients with leukoaraiosis admitted to the department of neurology of our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and divided into the hemorrhage transformation group and non-hemorrhage transformation group according to whether hemorrhage transformation occurred after thrombolysis. The Fazekas scale was used to evaluate the leukoaraiosis of the patients. CTP parameters and EPA/AA were compared between patients in the two groups and patients with different degrees of leukoaraiosis in the hemorrhage transformation group. The predictive value of CTP parameters and EPA/AA on the occurrence of hemorrhage transformation was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The prognosis was assessed according to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score 1 month after thrombolysis;the linear and linear combinations are used to evaluate the linear relationship between variables;the ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of CTP parameters and EPA/AA in the short-term prognosis of patients. Results The reactive cerebral blood flow (rCBF),reactive cerebral blood volume (rCBV),CTP integration index and EPA/AA in the hemorrhage transformation group were significantly lower than those in the non-hemorrhage transformation group (P<0.05),while the relative time to peak (rTTP) was significantly longer than that in the non-hemorrhage transformation group (P<0.05). The incidence of hemorrhage transformation increased with the increase of leukoaraiosis degree (P<0.05). In the hemorrhage transformation group,rCBF,rCBV,CTP integration index and EPA/AA of patients with mild leukoaraiosis were higher than those of patients with moderate-severe leukoaraiosis (P<0.05). In patients with mild leukoaraiosis,the area under the curve (AUC) of rCBF and EPA/AA in predicting hemorrhage transforma-tion were 0.712 and 0.720,respectively (P<0.05);in patients with moderate-severe leukoaraiosis,the AUC of rCBF,rCBV,rTTP,CTP integration index and EPA/AA in predicting hemorrhage transformation were 0.738,0.714,0.717,0.739 and 0.742,respectively (P<0.05). Among the 98 patients received thrombolysis,35 patients had a poor prognosis. The AUC of rCBF,rCBV,CTP integration index and EPA/AA in predicting short-term prognosis were 0.742,0.732,0.704 and 0.738,respectively,and the AUC of the four combined prediction was 0.968. Conclusion CTP parameters and EPA/AA have a certain predictive value for the occurrence of hemorrhage transformation after thrombolysis in AIS patients with leukoaraiosis,and rCBV,rCBF,CTP integration index and EPA/AA are important influencing factors of the short-term prognosis for these patients.

Objective To construct a decision aid scheme for surgical methods of thyroid cancer patients and explore its application effect.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 692 patients with thyroid cancer who were treated in the department of breast and thyroid surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 1 to December 31,2022,patients who underwent surgery from January 1 to June 30,2022 were selected as the control group(n=346),while patients who underwent surgery from July 1 to December 31,2022 were selected as the observation group(n=346).Patients in the control group chose surgical methods after conventional education,while patients in the observation group chose the surgical methods through the decision aid scheme.The decision conflict and decision-making at admission and 1 day before surgery of patients in the two groups were assessed.The psychological state at admission,1 day before surgery,and 1 month after surgery of patients in the two groups were evaluated.The decision satisfaction of patients in the two groups were assessed 1,3,and 6 months after surgery.Results There was no significant difference in the decision conflict score,decision making score or anxiety and depression scores at admission of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).One day before surgery,the decision conflict score of patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(t=21.099,P<0.001),and the decision-making score was significantly higher than that in the control group(t=8.806,P<0.001).The anxiety and depression scores of patients in the two groups decreased over time,among which the anxiety and depression scores 1 day before surgery and 1 month after surgery of patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The decision satisfaction scores 1,3 and 6 months after surgery of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The implementation of decision aid scheme can effectively reduce decision conflicts of patients with thyroid cancer regarding the choice of surgical methods,relieve negative emotions,and enhance decision satisfaction.

Objective:To study the risk factors and the molecular epidemiology characteristics for Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE) colonization in neonatal inpatients in Shenzhen region, China, which provide reference for the prevention and control of clinical CRE infection.Methods:This study is a prospective case-control study.Anal samples from inpatients between January 2023 and December 2023 at Longgang Maternity and Child Institute of Shantou University Medical College and Shenzhen Children's Hospital were collected for screening CRE strain. Drug susceptibility test, modified Carbapenem Inactivation Method (mCIM) test, drug resistance-related gene sequencing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) were performed for isolated CRE strains.Meanwhile, the clinical data were collected for analyzing the risk factors of CRE intestinal colonization by multivariate regression analysis.Results:A total of 1 517 patients were screened, 26 CRE(1.7%, 26/1 517) were identified which including 14 Escherichia coli(53.8%, 14/26), 11 Klebsiella pneumoniae(42.3%, 11/26), 1 Enterobacter cloacae(3.9%, 1/26). The predominant carbapenemase gene was New Delhi Metallo(NDM) (92.4%, 24/26), followed by Imipenem (IMP) (3.8%, 1/26) and Guiana extended spectrum gene (GES) (3.8%, 1/26).Among the carried NDM resistance genes, New Delhi Metallo 5 (NDM5) was the main one, accounting for 84.6% (22/26).The MLST typing of Escherichia coli was mainly Sequence Type 48 (ST48) (6/14), while that of Klebsiella pneumoniae was mainly Sequence Type 35 (ST35) (10/11). All CRE isolates were resistant to penicillin, penicillinase inhibitors, cephalosporins, ertapenem and imipenem.The resistance rates of Escherichia coli to amikacin, levofloxacin was 1/14, 4/14, respectively. All isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were sensitive to amikacin, and the resistance rate to levofloxacin is 1/11. Risk factors for CRE colonization include the older age, length of hospital stay, tracheal intubation, invasive respiration, lumbar puncture, Apgar <7 score, and exposure to antibiotics.Conclusions:NDM5 is the predominant resistant gene in CRE isolated from neonatal patients feces in Shenzhen region.It is necessary to strengthen the screening of CRE colonization in neonate for prevention and control of CRE infection.
