Objective: To analyze adverse event following immunization(AEFI) with the domestic bivalent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine among female students in primary, junior, and senior high schools in Hebei Province from 2022 to 2024, aiming to provide evidence for the vaccination program. Methods: On May 14, 2025, AEFI case data and vaccination data for the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine among female students in primary, junior, and senior high schools in Hebei Province from 2022 to 2024 were collected from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System and the Hebei Provincial Immunization Program Information Management System, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed by using descriptive and analytical epidemiological methods, with intergroup comparisons conducted by using the Chi square test or Fisher s exact probability test. Results: From 2022 to 2024, a total of 817 900 doses of the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine were administered to female students in primary, junior, and senior high schools in Hebei Province. A total of 68 AEFI cases were reported, comprising 57 common vaccine reactions, 7 rare vaccine reactions, 3 coincidental events, and 1 psychogenic reaction. The overall AEFI reporting rate was 8.31 per 100 000 doses, 4 cases (2.30/100 000 doses), 31 cases (8.73/100 000 doses), and 33 cases (11.41/100 000 doses) were reported in 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively, with a statistically significant difference across years ( χ 2=10.97, P <0.01). The reporting rates for common and rare vaccine reactions were 6.97 per 100 000 doses and 0.86 per 100 000 doses, respectively. The AEFI reporting rates were 15.14 per 100 000 doses among primary school girls and 8.20 per 100 000 doses among secondary school girls, though the difference was not statistically significant (Fisher s exact test, P =0.30). The reporting rate was higher after the first dose (10.91/100 000 doses) than after the second dose (5.96/100 000 doses; χ 2=5.85, P =0.02).The second quarter recorded the highest AEFI reporting rate at 11.21 per 100 000 doses. The majority of AEFI cases (56 cases, 82.35%) occurred within 24 hours post vaccination. Conclusion The domestic bivalent HPV vaccine demonstrates a favorable safety profile among female students in Hebei Province, with a low overall AEFI reporting rate that consisted predominantly of general reactions and occasional cardiac related reactions.

Objective To analyze the operation of Measles Surveillance System (MSS) in Hebei Province, and to provide evidence for measles elimination. Methods Measles surveillance data was collected from the MSS from 2020 to 2023, and a modified weighted technology for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was used to evaluate the surveillance indexes of measles in Hebei Province. Results The operation quality of the measles surveillance system in Hebei Province was improved year by year, with the highest quality in 2023, and all the indicators reached the monitoring program standards. The quality of measles surveillance system was not balanced among cities, and the main influencing factor was the substandard sensitivity indicators. The quality of measles surveillance system was the highest in Baoding City and the lowest in Zhangjiakou City. Conclusion The measles surveillance system in Hebei province is running well, and the sensitivity of the surveillance system should be improved to keep the high-quality operation of the surveillance system.

BACKGROUND: The potential impact of pre-existing coronary artery stenosis (CAS) on right ventricular (RV) function during acute pulmonary embolism (PE) episodes remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between pre-existing CAS and RV dysfunction in patients with acute PE. METHODS: In this multicenter, case-control study, 89 cases and 176 controls matched for age were enrolled at three study centers (Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Fuwai Hospital, and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University) from January 2016 to December 2020. The cases were patients with acute PE with CAS, and the controls were patients with acute PE without CAS. Coronary artery assessment was performed using coronary computed tomographic angiography. CAS was defined as ≥50% stenosis of the lumen diameter in any coronary vessel >2.0 mm in diameter. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between CAS and RV dysfunction. RESULTS: The percentages of RV dysfunction (19.1% [17/89] vs. 44.6% [78/176], P <0.001) and elevated systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) (19.3% [17/89] vs. 39.5% [68/176], P = 0.001) were significantly lower in the case group than those in the control group. In the multivariable logistic regression model, CAS was independently and negatively associated with RV dysfunction (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.367; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.185-0.728; P = 0.004), and elevated sPAP (OR: 0.490; 95% CI: 0.252-0.980; P = 0.035), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Pre-existing CAS was significantly and negatively associated with RV dysfunction and elevated sPAP in patients with acute PE. This finding provides new insights into RV dysfunction in patients with acute PE with pre-existing CAS.

Lumbar disc (LD) herniation and aging are prevalent conditions that can result in substantial morbidity. This study aimed to clarify the mechanisms connecting the LD aging and herniation, particularly focusing on cellular senescence and molecular alterations in the nucleus pulposus (NP). We performed a detailed analysis of NP samples from a diverse cohort, including individuals of varying ages and those with diagnosed LD herniation. Our methodology combined histological assessments with single-nucleus RNA sequencing to identify phenotypic and molecular changes related to NP aging and herniation. We discovered that cellular senescence and a decrease in nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs) are central to both processes. Additionally, we found an age-related increase in NFAT1 expression that promotes NPPC senescence and contributes to both aging and herniation of LD. This research offers fresh insights into LD aging and its associated pathologies, potentially guiding the development of new therapeutic strategies to target the root causes of LD herniation and aging.

Objective To observe the expression and trends of tight junction proteins Occludin and zonula occlu-den-1(ZO-1)in blood-brain barrier(BBB)of rats with traumatic brain injury(TBI),and to explore the interven-tion effect of cannabidiol(CBD)on the BBB.Methods The TBI model of rat was prepared by modified"Feeney free fall method"and randomly divided into three groups:the sham-operated group(Sham group),the model group(TBI+vehicle group)and the CBD intervention group(TBI+CBD group),with 24 rats in each group.Each group was subdivided into six time points:8 h,1,2,3,5 and 7 d after injury.The expression of Occludin and ZO-1,which are closely related to the permeability of BBB,was detected by immunohistochemistry,immuno-fluorescence staining and Western blot at different points.The permeability of BBB was detected by sodium fluores-cein assay.Results The results of immunohistochemistry showed that compared with Sham group,the positive ex-pression of Occludin and ZO-1 decreased with time after brain trauma(P<0.05),and both reached the lowest level at 2 d.The expression levels of Occludin and ZO-1 were up-regulated after 1 d of CBD intervention(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence staining showed a similar trend to Western blot results,with Occludin and ZO-1 fluo-rescence expression intensity and protein expression reduced after TBI compared with Sham group(P<0.05).And the expression levels of Occludin and ZO-1 were up-regulated after 2 d of CBD intervention(P<0.05).The results of fluorescein sodium experiment showed that the BBB integrity of brain tissue was destroyed after TBI,and the permeability increased after TBI(P<0.01).The permeability of BBB decreased after CBD intervention(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of tight junction proteins Occludin and ZO-1 decreases after TBI,and the permeability of BBB is disrupted,and CBD intervention reverses the disruption of the BBB by TBI.

Objective To investigate the serological and molecular characteristics of twenty blood samples carrying ABO?AW.37 allele and to analyze ABO allelic enhancement.Methods The ABO phenotype of the twenty samples was de-termined by serological methods and the genotype of 1-7 ABO exons was analyzed by Sanger sequencing.Results Sequen-cing analysis showed that all twenty samples contained a c.940A>G(p.Lys314Glu)mutation of A allele,which was defined as ABO?AW.37.When ABO?AW.37 and B alleles were inherited simultaneously in 9 cases,in forward typing anti-A anti-bodies all agglutinated and the serological phenotype was Aw B.Among the 11 cases with ABO?AW.37 and O alleles inherited simultaneously,there was no agglutination of anti-A in forward typing.For absorption and elution tests,5 cases were weakly positive and the serological phenotype was Ael,while 6 cases were negative for absorption and elution tests and the serologi-cal phenotype was O type.Conclusion Allelic enhancement occured when both ABO?AW.37 allele and B allele were in-herited simultaneously.When ABO? AW.37 was inherited simultaneously with O allele,the serological phenotype was Aelor O type and attention should be paid to blood type identification.

Objective To investigate the morphological and proteomic differences in exosomes(EXOs)during the stor-age of leukocyte-free apheresis platelets(LFA-Plt),evaluate the quality of platelets in storage and predict the function of EXOs at different storage periods.Methods EXOs were isolated by ultracentrifugation,then the morphological observation was performed by electron microscope.Particle size analysis and WB protein index detection were performed.4D Label-free quantitative proteomics technology was used to perform quantitative and bioinformatics analysis on identified proteins.Protein differential analysis on the LFA-Plt EXO between group day 3 and day 5 was performed,and GO function and KEGG path-way enrichment analysis on differential proteins was conducted.Results Cup shaped,CD9/TSG101 enriched and Calnexin(-)EXO was successfully obtained.The particle size(nm)of LFA-Plt EXO for day 3 and day 5 were(82.2±19.6)and(83.4±19.4)respectively,and the protein concentration(μ g/uL)were(0.55±0.13)and(0.51±0.08)respectively,with no statistically significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).1 504 proteins were identified in all samples.GO func-tional enrichment analysis showed that the LFA-Plt EXO proteins were mainly concentrated in the cell membrane,extracel-lular domain and proteasome core complex,and were related to the binding ability of proteins,ATP,calcium ions and GTP,and mainly participated in processes such as redox,protein hydrolysis and signal transduction.KEGG functional annotation showed that the EXO proteins mainly participated in material transportation and catabolism,genetic information processing,and were closely related to human tumors and viral bacterial infections,affecting the metabolism of human immune system.Compared with day 3,day 5 EXO showed significant up-regulation in 16 proteins.The GO enrichment analysis showed that 16 upregulated proteins were mainly associated with adenosine homocysteine activity and 6-phosphofructose kinase activity,and were mainly involved in the metabolism of organic nitrogen compound.KEGG enrichment pathway analysis showed that the most important function of upregulated proteins was participating in signaling pathway for oocyte maturation mediated by progesterone.Conclusion Under the preparation and storage conditions of LFA-Plt in our center,platelet quality can be relatively stable.The functions of EXO proteins varies with different storage periods,which may affect the effectiveness of platelet transfusion.
