[Objective] To analyse and predict the tendencies of using erythrocyte blood in Changsha based on the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, long short-term memory (LSTM) and ARIMA-LSTM combination model, so as to provide reliable basis for designing a feasible and effective blood inventory management strategy. [Methods] The data of erythrocyte usage from hospitals in Changsha between January 2012 and December 2023 were collected, and ARIMA model, LSTM model and ARIMA-LSTM combination model were established. The actual erythrocyte consumption from January to May 2024 were used to assess and verify the prediction effect of the models. The extrapolation prediction accuracy of the models were tested using two evaluation indicators: mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE), and then the prediction performance of the model was compared. [Results] The RMSE of LSTM model, optimal model ARIMA(1,1,1)(1,1,1)12 and ARIMA-LSTM combination model were respectively 5 206.66, 3 096.43 and 2 745.75, and the MAPE were 18.78%,11.54% and 9.76% respectively, which indicated that the ARIMA-LSTM combination model was more accurate than the ARIMA model and LSTM model, and the prediction results was basically consistent with the actual situation. [Conclusion] The ARIMA-LSTM model can better predict the clinical erythrocyte consumption in Changsha in the short term.

Antibiotics are chemicals with bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity produced by microorganisms and artificially synthesized. Since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928, antibiotics have been widely used in clinical treatments as well as in the animal husbandry and aquaculture, leading to antibiotic residues in soil, water, food and other environments. At the same time, antibiotic resistance is increasingly serious, which necessitates the discovery of novel antibiotics. In recent years, with the development of synthetic biology, researchers have developed a variety of whole-cell biosensors that can respond to antibiotics. These whole-cell biosensors use microbial cells to convert antibiotic signals into readable signals, which can not only perform dynamic detection of antibiotics simply, quickly, sensitively and accurately but also effectively discover novel antibiotics. This review comprehensively summarizes the reported whole-cell biosensors for antibiotics, classifies them into two types (specific and general), and elaborates on the design principles and applications of the two types of antibiotic biosensors. This review will provide reference for the construction and application of other whole-cell biosensors for antibiotics.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of omalizumab in the treatment of chronic urticaria in children.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. Patients with chronic urticaria were collected from the Department of Dermatology, Hunan Children′s Hospital from January to December 2021, and divided into a control group and a combination group according to different medication regimens. The patients in the combination group received subcutaneous injections of omalizumab (150 mg, once every 4 weeks) combined with conventional-dosage antihistamines, while the patients in the control group were only treated with double-dosage or multiple types of antihistamines. The course of treatment was 3 to 6 months. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months after the start of treatment, and the recurrence was evaluated at 3 and 6 months after the end of treatment.Results:A total of 46 children with chronic urticaria were collected. There were 23 children (13 males and 10 females) in the combination group, aged from 6 to 17 years and including 16 aged from 6 to 12 years and 7 aged from 13 to 17 years; according to the total serum IgE levels before treatment, the patients in the combination group were divided into an increased IgE subgroup (11 cases) and a normal IgE subgroup (12 cases). In the control group, there were 13 males and 10 females, aged from 6.33 to 16 years and including 15 aged from 6 to 12 years and 8 aged from 13 to 17 years. At 3, 6, and 12 months after the start of treatment, the response rates in the combination group were all 86.96% (20/23), which were all significantly higher than those in the control group (52.17% [12/23], 56.52% [13/23], 56.52% [13/23], P = 0.010, 0.022, 0.022, respectively). In the combination group, the response rates at 3, 6, and 12 months after the start of treatment were all 14/16 in the children aged 6 to 12 years and 6/7 in those aged 13 to 17 years, and there were no significant differences between the two age groups (all χ2 = 0.01, P = 0.907) ; in the control group, the response rates were 5/15, 6/15 and 5/15 respectively in the children aged 6 to 12 years, which were all significantly lower than those in the combination group ( P = 0.002, 0.006, 0.006, respectively). In the combination group, the response rates at 3, 6, and 12 months after the start of treatment were all 9/11 in the increased IgE subgroup and 11/12 in the normal IgE subgroup, and there were no significant differences between the two subgroups (all P = 0.484). During the treatment, no serious adverse reactions were observed in the combination group or control group, and mild somnolence only occurred in 2 children in the control group. At 3 months after the end of treatment, no recurrence was observed in 16 patients in the combination group, 2 out of 6 patients experienced recurrence in the control group, and the recurrence rate was lower in the combination group than in the control group ( P = 0.030) ; at 6 months after the end of treatment, no recurrence was observed in 16 patients in the combination group, 3 out of 6 patients experienced recurrence in the control group, and the recurrence rate was lower in the combination group than in the control group ( P = 0.022) . Conclusion:Omalizumab combined with conventional-dosage antihistamines could improve the clinical efficacy and reduce the recurrence rate in the treatment of chronic urticaria in children, with few adverse reactions.

Objective To study the effect of spectrum irradiation combined with operative laparoscopy on inflammatory reaction and immune function in children with appendicitis.Methods 120 children with appendicitis from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects,randomly divided them into two groups using a random number table method:the control group(n = 60)and the study group(n = 60).The control group underwent laparoscopic minimally invasive appendectomy,and the study group underwent spectrum irradiation combined with laparoscopic minimally invasive appendectomy.The two groups compared perioperative recovery,procalcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP)level,cellular immune function(CD4+,CD8+,and CD4+/CD8+),humoral immune function[immunoglobulin M(IgM),immunoglobulin G(IgG),C3,and C4],pain visual analogue scale(VAS),Alvarado score,and treatment effect and postoperative complication rate.Results Compared with the control group,the study group showed a significant reduction in the time to first anal exhaust and hospital stay after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with preoperative levels,the levels of PCT and CRP in both groups of patients increased at 12 and 24 h postoperatively,with the highest levels occurring at 12 h postoperatively;The PCT and CRP levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group at 12 and 24 h after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with preoperative data,the CD4+,CD8+,and CD4+/CD8+ levels decreased in both groups at 12 and 24 h postoperatively,with the lowest levels observed at 12 h postoperatively;The CD4+,CD8+,and CD4+/CD8+ levels in the study group were higher than those in the control group at 12 and 24 h after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with preoperative levels,the levels of IgM,IgG,C3,and C4 in both groups of patients decreased after surgery,with the lowest levels occurring 12 h after surgery;The levels of IgM,IgG,C3,and C4 in the study group were higher than those in the control group at 12 and 24 h after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with preoperative conditions,the VAS and Alvarado scores in both groups of patients decreased at 12 and 24 h after surgery.The VAS and Alvarado scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group at 12 and 24 h after surgery,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the study group had a higher overall effective rate and a lower total incidence of complications,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Spectrum irradiation combined with operative laparoscopy can reduce postoperative inflammatory reaction,and improve immune function in children with appendicitis,shorten inflammatory reaction and immunosuppression time,reduce pain,and have a low incidence of postoperative complications,with ideal effect.

In various immunomodulatory systems,there exists a transmembrane receptor expressed on the surface of immune cells,which can play a role selectively,namely the sialic-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin(Siglec)family.Inhibition of host T cell antigen response is a key factor in inducing immune tolerance of liver transplantation.Recently,Siglec-15 has been found to be an important T cell suppressor molecule,and some of its family members have similar structure and biological characteristics.It is speculated that the mem-bers of Siglec family may be a new target for inducing liver immune tolerance.Therefore,this paper reviews the relevant literatures in this field,and takes Siglec-15 as the entry point to explore the possible role and mo-lecular mechanism of Siglec family in inhibiting host T cell antigen response and regulating immune response in order to provide the new ideas for the establishment of immune regulation and tolerance after transplanta-tion.

Objective: To provide high-quality clinical evidence of the efficacy of Tibetan medicine Honghua Ruyi (HHRY) pills for endometriosis-associated dysmenorrhea. Methods: This study constitutes a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial encompassing a three-menstrual cycle intervention followed by a three-menstrual cycle follow-up period. A total of 164 eligible females with endometriosis-associated dysmenorrhea were randomly divided into HHRY pills and placebo groups in a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome included dysmenorrhea symptoms assessed using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores and quality of life, whereas the secondary outcome measures included the maximum VAS for non-menstrual pelvic pain, duration of pain episodes (in days), frequency and quantity of the consumption of ibuprofen sustained-release capsules (or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and days off work/study for staff/student due to dysmenorrhea, ovarian cyst, and/or pelvic nodule size. The safety was monitored throughout the treatment period. All the analyses were based on the intention-to-treat principle. For continuous outcomes, simple or multiple linear regressions were used to estimate the differences between the HHRY pills and placebo groups, with categorical data expressed as the number and percentage of occurrences. Differences were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. The predefined analysis was adjusted for concomitant treatment, a variable considered to be associated with outcomes but unaffected by treatment allocation. Estimates of treatment effects were reported with 95% confidence intervals. Two-tailed P values ≤ .05 were considered statistically significant. Conclusion Positive results from this trial, upon completion would provide robust evidence for the efficacy and safety of HHRY pills in treating dysmenorrhea in patients with endometriosis.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term efficacy of percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:2054 cases with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage 0~B at the Fifth Medical Center of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2006 to September 2020 were retrospectively collected. All patients were followed up for at least 2 years. The primary endpoint of overall survival and secondary endpoints (tumor-related survival, disease-free survival, and postoperative complications) of patients treated with ultrasound-guided percutaneous MWA were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for stratified survival rate analysis. Fine-and-Gray competing risk model was used to analyze overall survival.Results:A total of 5 503 HCC nodules [mean tumor diameter (2.6±1.6) cm] underwent 3 908 MWAs between January 2006 and September 2020, with a median follow-up time of 45.6 (24.0 -79.2) months.The technical effectiveness rate of 5 375 tumor nodules was 97.5%. The overall survival rates at 5, 10, and 15-years were 61.6%, 38.8%, and 27.0%, respectively. The tumor-specific survival rates were 67.1%, 47.2%, and 37.7%, respectively. The free tumor survival rates were 25.8%, 15.7%, and 9.9%, respectively. The incidence rate of severe complications was 2.8% (108/3 908). Further analysis showed that the technical effectiveness and survival rate over the passing three time periods from January 2006-2010, 2011-2015, and 2016-September 2020 were significantly increased, with P ?

Objective:To investigate the perioperative impact of closure of mesenteric fissure in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. The clinical data of 320 patients who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in 11 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University et al, from November 2022 to August 2023 were selected. Based on block randomization, patients were alloca-ted into the mesenteric fissure non-closure group and the mesenteric fissure closure group. Observa-tion indicators: (1) grouping of the enrolled patients; (2) intraoperative conditions; (3) postopera-tive conditions. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) and com-parison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were represen-ted as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the rank sum test. Comparison of visual analog scores was analyzed using generalized estimating equations. Results:(1) Grouping of the enrolled patients. A total of 320 patients with colon cancer were screened for eligibility, including 156 males and 164 females, aged 68(59,73)years. All the 320 patients were allocated into the mesenteric fissure non-closure group with 164 cases and the mesenteric fissure closure group with 156 cases. There was no significant difference in the age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologist score, maximum tumor diameter, anastomosis location, anastomosis method, surgical approach, range of lymph node dissection, tumor staging between the two groups ( P>0.05) and there was a significant difference in the sex between them ( P<0.05). (2) Intraoperative conditions. There was no significant difference between the mesenteric fissure closure group and the mesenteric fissure non-closure group in the volume of intraoperative blood loss, operation time, conversion to laparotomy, intraoperative complication ( P>0.05). Three patients in the mesenteric fissure non-closure group were converted to laparotomy. One patient in the mesenteric fissure closure group was converted to laparotomy, and 2 cases with intraoperative complication were mesenteric hematoma. (3) Postoperative conditions. There was no significant difference between the mesenteric fissure non-closure group and the mesenteric fissure closure group in the overall postoperative complications ( χ2=0.28, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of postoperative intestinal obstruction, abdominal distension, ascites, pleural effusion, gastric paralysis, anastomotic bleeding, anastomotic leakage, or surgical wound infection between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the reoperation, postoperative gastric tube replacement. There was no significant differ-ence in time to postoperative first flatus, time to postoperative initial liquid food intake, time to post-operative resumption of bowel movements, duration of postoperative hospital stay, total hospital expenses between the two groups ( Z=-0.01, 0.43, 1.04, -0.54, -0.36, P>0.05). One patient in the mesenteric fissure non-closure group received reoperation. No perioperative internal hernia or death occurred in either group. The visual analog score decreased with time in both groups. There was no significant difference in the visual analog score between the mesenteric fissure closure group and the mesenteric fissure non-closure group [ β=-0.20(-0.53,0.13), P>0.05]. Conclusion:Compared with closure of mesenteric fissure, non-closure of mesenteric fissure during laparoscopic right hemi-colectomy dose not increase perioperative complications or postoperative management risk.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) .Methods:In this multicenter, retrospective clinical study, adult patients aged ≥18 years who underwent allo-HSCT for sAML at four centers of the Zhejiang Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Collaborative Group from January 2014 to November 2022 were included, and the efficacy and prognostic factors of allo-HSCT were analyzed.Results:A total of 95 patients were enrolled; 66 (69.5%) had myelodysplastic syndrome-acute myeloid leukemia (MDS-AML) , 4 (4.2%) had MDS/MPN-AML, and 25 (26.3%) had therapy-related AML (tAML) . The 3-year CIR, LFS, and overall survival (OS) rates were 18.6% (95% CI 10.2%-27.0%) , 70.6% (95% CI 60.8%-80.4%) , and 73.3% (95% CI 63.9%-82.7%) , respectively. The 3-year CIRs of the M-AML group (including MDS-AML and MDS/MPN-AML) and the tAML group were 20.0% and 16.4%, respectively ( P=0.430) . The 3-year LFSs were 68.3% and 75.4%, respectively ( P=0.176) . The 3-year OS rates were 69.7% and 75.4%, respectively ( P=0.233) . The 3-year CIRs of the groups with and without TP53 mutations were 60.0% and 13.7%, respectively ( P=0.003) ; the 3-year LFSs were 20.0% and 76.5%, respectively ( P=0.002) ; and the 3-year OS rates were 40.0% and 77.6%, respectively ( P=0.002) . According to European LeukmiaNet 2022 (ELN2022) risk stratification, the 3-year CIRs of patients in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups were 8.3%, 17.8%, and 22.6%, respectively ( P=0.639) . The three-year LFSs were 91.7%, 69.5%, and 65.6%, respectively ( P=0.268) . The 3-year OS rates were 91.7%, 71.4%, and 70.1%, respectively ( P=0.314) . Multivariate analysis revealed that advanced disease at allo-HSCT and TP53 mutations were independent risk factors for CIR, LFS, and OS. Conclusion:There was no significant difference in the prognosis of patients who underwent allo-HSCT among the MDS-AML, MDS/MPN-AML, and tAML groups. Advanced disease at transplantation and TP53 mutations were poor prognostic factors. ELN2022 risk stratification had limited value for predicting the prognosis of patients with sAML following allo-HSCT.

Objective:To construct a prediction model for peripherally inserted central catheter-related upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (PICC-UEDVT) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and validate its effectiveness.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on the clinical data of 222 TBI patients admitted to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2019 to December 2021, including 171 males and 51 females, aged 18-86 years [54.5(46.0, 65.0)years]. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) motor score was 4.0(3.0, 5.0)points on the day of catheterization. A total of 82 patients (36.9%) had PICC-UEDVT. The patients were randomly divided with a ratio of 7∶3 into training set ( n=156, including 58 with PICC-UEDVT) and validation set ( n=66, including 24 with PICC-UEDVT) using R programming language. The baseline data of general information, intravenous medication, catheterization, and laboratory indices were compared between the training set and the validation set. Lasso regression analysis was employed to identify those variables, with the diagnosis of PICC-UEDVT as the outcome variable. Variables with non-zero regression coefficients were included in a multifactorial Logistic regression model and independent variables were selected based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) of R programming language. The regression equation was constructed, based on which, the predictive nomogram model was constructed for PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the training set and validation set were plotted and the discriminability of the model was assessed. The calibration of the model was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test and calibration curves and the clinical practicality of the model was assessed with decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:The baseline analysis of both the training set and the validation set demonstrated a well-balanced sample distribution. Through Lasso regression analysis, 5 prediction variables were identified: GCS motor score on the day of catheterization, Caprini score on the day of catheterization, use of glucocorticoids, tip position of the catheter, and D-dimer (D-D) level before catheterization. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the Caprini score on the day of catheterization ( OR=1.20, 95% CI 1.08, 1.33), use of glucocorticoids ( OR=3.13, 95% CI 0.99, 10.46), and D-D level before catheterization ( OR=1.16, 95% CI 1.07, 1.33) were independent risk factors for PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients. The regression equation was developed as: Logit [ P/(1- P)]=-2.56+0.18×"Caprini score on the day of catheterization"+1.14×"use of glucocorticoids"+0.15×"D-D level before catheterization". In the prediction model which was constructed based on the equation, the AUC values for the training set and validation set were 0.73 (95% CI 0.65, 0.81) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.65, 0.87) respectively. The H-L goodness-of-fit test indicated χ2=3.28, P=0.950 for the training set and χ2=13.05, P=0.160 for the validation set. Calibration curves for both sets demonstrated alignment between the actual and predicted probabilities of PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients. DCA results showed that the net benefit rate of patients was optimal when the threshold probability ranged from 15% to 72% for the training set and from 10% to 81% for the validation set. Conclusion:The prediction model based on the Caprini score on the day of catheterization, use of glucocorticoids, and D-D level before catheterization demonstrates good predictive accuracy, calibration and clinical practicality in predicting PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients.
