Objective: To analyze the serological characteristics of anti-Mur antibodies and investigate the distribution frequency of the Mur antigen among voluntary blood donors in Shiyan, thereby providing a basis for guiding clinical transfusion and establishing a Mur blood type database. Methods: ABO blood grouping of donors and patients was performed using an automated blood typing analyzer and the gel card method, respectively. Unexpected antibody screening and identification were performed using the saline, tube anti-human globulin, and polybrene methods. The specificity of anti-Mur antibodies was confirmed using Fisher's exact probability test. Plasma treated with 2-mercaptoethanol was used to distinguish IgM and IgG antibodies. IgM and IgG anti-Mur titers were determined by the saline tube method and the anti-human globulin tube method, respectively, at 4℃, room temperature, and 37℃. A total of 1 659 donor red blood cell samples were initially screened for the Mur antigen phenotype using three samples of human-derived anti-Mur plasma by the micro-tube method. Donors who tested positive for Mur antigen were further tested by the direct antiglobulin test (DAT); those with negative results were confirmed for Mur antigen by the gel card and polybrene methods. Results: Three blood samples were identified to contain mixed IgG and IgM anti-Mur antibodies. The titers of both IgM and IgG anti-Mur antibodies were highest at 4℃, intermediate at room temperature, and lowest at 37℃. The positive frequency of the Mur antigen among voluntary blood donors in Shiyan was 1.99% (33/1 659). Conclusion: anti-Mur antibodies were detected in both blood donors and patients in our region. The Mur antigen shows a certain distribution frequency among voluntary blood donors in Shiyan. Screening for the Mur blood type and establishing a corresponding database could enhance transfusion safety.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)is a group of lung diseases characterized by persistent airflow limitation, often accompanied by chronic hypoxia. This chronic hypoxia can lead to structural and functional changes in the walls of blood vessels throughout the body, causing vascular injury and altered vascular reactivity. The retina and choroid are key ocular structures with rich blood supply and are particularly prone to microstructural changes due to ischemia and hypoxia. Optical coherence tomography(OCT), an ideal tool for observing these microstructural changes, serves as a non-invasive method for assessing retinal microstructures and microvascular pathology. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews summarizing OCT-based morphological changes in the eyes of COPD patients. This paper provides an in-depth review of existing studies on ocular OCT in COPD patients, focusing on structural and blood flow changes in the retina and choroid. The primary goal of this review is to summarize the impact of COPD on ocular microstructures, explore the underlying mechanisms of these morphological changes, and offer new perspectives for assessing eye diseases in COPD patients.

Objective:To construct the risk prediction nomogram model of acute kidney injury (AKI) with R language and traditional statistical methods based on the large sample clinical database, and verify the accuracy of the model.Methods:It was a a retrospective case control study. The patients who met the diagnostic criteria of AKI in Tongji Hospital of Tongji University from January 1 to December 31, 2021 were screened in the clinical database, and the patients with monitored serum creatinine within 48 hours but without AKI were included as the control group. The demographic data, disease history, surgical history, medication history and laboratory test data were collected to screen the risk factors of AKI in clinic.Firstly, based on multivariate logistic regression analysis and forward stepwise logistic regression analysis, the selected risk factors were included to construct the nomogram model. At the same time, cross validation, bootstrap validation and randomly split sample validation were used for internal verification, and clinical data of patients in the sane hospital after one year (January to December, 2022) were collected for external verification. The receiver-operating characteristic curve was used to determine the discrimination of the model, and calibration curve and decision curve analysis were carried out to evaluate the accuracy and clinical net benefit, respectively.Results:A total of 5 671 patients were enrolled in the study, with 1 884 AKI patients (33.2%) and 3 787 non-AKI patients (66.7%). Compared with non-AKI group, age, and proportions of surgical history, renal replacement therapy, hypertension, diabetes, cerebrovascular accident,chronic kidney disease, drug use histories and mortality in AKI group were all higher (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent influencing factors of AKI were surgical history, hypertension, cerebrovascular accident, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, diuretics, nitroglycerin, antidiuretic hormones, body temperature, serum creatinine, C-reactive protein, red blood cells, white blood cells, D-dimer, myoglobin, hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, brain natriuretic peptide, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, triacylglycerol, lactate dehydrogenase, total bilirubin, activated partial thromboplastin time, blood uric acid and potassium ion (all P<0.05). Finally, the predictive factors in the nomogram were determined by forward stepwise logistic regression analysis, including chronic kidney disease, hypertension, myoglobin, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, and the area under the curve of the prediction nomogram model was 0.926 [95% CI 0.918-0.933, P<0.001]. The calibration curve showed that the calibration effect of nomogram was good ( P>0.05). The decision curve showed that when the risk threshold of nomogram model was more than 0.04, the model construction was useful in clinic. In addition, the area under the curve of receiver-operating characteristic curve predicted by nomograph model in external validation set was 0.876 (95% CI 0.865-0.886), which indicated that nomograph model had a high discrimination degree. Conclusion:A nomogram model for predicting the occurrence of AKI is established successfully, which is helpful for clinicians to find high-risk AKI patients early, intervene in time and improve the prognosis.

ObjectiveTo understand the usage of antibiotics in outpatients in a county of Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2020, so as to provide a basis for further standardizing the clinical application of antibiotics in this region. MethodsOutpatient records and prescription records of 146 public medical institutions from 2015 to 2020 were extracted from the electronic medical record data sharing platform system of medical institutions in a county of Zhejiang Province. The utilization rates and the number of types of antibiotics used in outpatient patients were described. According to the drug anatomy, therapeutic and chemical classification system (ATC), clinical application classification and dosage form, the use status of different types of antibiotics was observed. The annual percentage change (APC) was used to analyze the time trend of antibiotic use. Among the antibiotic prescriptions in each year, the proportions of prescriptions aimed for different use reasons and patients were compared to analyze the changes in the structures of antibiotic prescriptions. ResultsDuring 2015‒2020, a total of 2 861 438 prescriptions were issued in146 primary public medical institutions in this county, including 314 642 prescriptions for antibiotics, and the overall utilization rate of antibiotics was 11%. The utilization rate of antibiotics showed a decreased trend across the years (from 14.23% in 2015 to 7.59% in 2020,APC=-11.51%, 95%CI=-0.01%‒-21.7%, t=-12.05, P<0.001) and an obvious seasonal variation character (higher in winter and spring, lower in summer and autumn). Cefoxitin sodium for injection was the most used antibiotic in 2015, and cefuroxime was the most used antibiotic from 2015 to 2020, respectively. The utilization rates of cephalosporins (APC=-11.06%, 95%CI=0‒-20.89%, t=-22.233, P<0.001), quinolones (APC=-9.74%, 95%CI=0‒-18.53%, t=-7.652, P=0.002), macrolides (APC=-17.52%, 95%CI=0‒-17.52%, t=-3.626, P=0.022) and lincoamides (APC=-49.01%, 95%CI=0‒-74%, t=-3.35, P=0.029) showed a decreasing trend across the years. There were differences in the distribution of drug use reasons (χ2=9 458.427, P<0.001), as well as the age (χ2=5 421.709, P<0.001) and sex (χ2=245.322, P<0.001) of patients. During the observation period, 50.69% of antibiotic prescriptions were used to treat respiratory diseases, with the highest proportion of 57.67% in 2015 and the lowest proportion of 34.93% in 2020. 58.37% of patients were aged 50‒70 years, with a decreasing proportion of patients under 50 years (17.83% in 2015, 6.64% in 2020) and an increasing proportion of patients over 70 years (24.1% in 2015, 38.41% in 2020). ConclusionThe utilization rate of antibiotics used in outpatients from primary public medical institutions in a county of Zhejiang Province shows a decreasing trend across the years, but higher than that of secondary and above hospitals in China, and also higher than that of primary medical institutions in economically-developed areas. The management and monitoring of the clinical use of antibiotics in the county should be actively strengthened.
