ObjectiveTo develop a classification model based on complete blood count （CBC） parameters combined with clinical factors to predict severe respiratory infections caused by Human adenovirus （HAdV） in pediatric patients. MethodsFrom September 2023 to September 2024， the CBC parameters and related clinical data from pediatric patients diagnosed with HAdV infection were collected. Principal component analysis and random forest models were used to identify potential predictors of severe cases. ResultsA total of 668 pediatric patients were included， with 564 cases assigned to the training cohort and 104 cases to the validation cohort. Severe cases were defined as pneumonia and/or fever lasting ≥5 days （pneumonia or prolonged fever， PorPF）. Principal component analysis and feature importance analysis （Mean Decrease Gini value） identified the monocytosis ratio （PMono）， red blood cell count （RBC）， and platelet count （PLT） as the most critical CBC parameters. Logistic regression analysis revealed that oxygen therapy （OR = 4.367， 95% CI： 1.568–12.161） and increased work of breathing （OR = 3.904， 95% CI： 2.146–7.101） were relative risk factors for PorPF. Meanwhile， higher PMono （OR = 0.696， 95% CI： 0.640–0.757）， RBC （OR = 0.201， 95% CI： 0.124–0.325）， and PLT （OR = 0.990， 95% CI： 0.987–0.994） were protective factors. When PMono was used as a predictive marker for PorPF， the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC） was 0.648 and 0.705， respectively. A random forest model incorporating four risk factors ［PMono， RBC， PLT， and hematocrit （HCT）］ was constructed to classify PorPF and general cases， achieving AUCs of 0.688 and 0.768， respectively. ConclusionsPMono， RBC， and PLT may serve as characteristic CBC indicators for predicting pneumonia or prolonged fever in children with HAdV infection. A risk factor model built using PMono， RBC， PLT， and HCT offers a relatively simple and accurate approach to predicting severe cases in pediatric HAdV infections.

Background::Histological healing is closely associated with improved long-term clinical outcomes and lowered relapses in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Here, we developed a novel diagnostic criterion for assessing histological healing in UC patients.Methods::We conducted a retrospective cohort study in UC patients, whose treatment was iteratively optimized to achieve mucosal healing at Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital of Tongji University from January 2017 to May 2022. We identified an inflammatory cell enumeration index (ICEI) for assessing histological healing based on the proportions of eosinophils, CD177 + neutrophils, and CD40L + T cells in the colonic lamina propria under high power field (HPF), and the outcomes (risks of symptomatic relapses) of achieving histological remission vs. persistent histological inflammation using Kaplan-Meier curves. Intrareader reliability and inter-reader reliability were evaluated by each reader. The relationships to the changes in the Nancy index and the Geboes score were also assessed for responsiveness. The ICEI was further validated in a new cohort of UC patients from other nine university hospitals. Results::We developed an ICEI for clinical diagnosis of histological healing, i.e., Y = 1.701X 1 + 0.758X 2 + 1.347X 3 - 7.745 (X 1, X 2, and X 3 represent the proportions of CD177 + neutrophils, eosinophils, and CD40L + T cells, respectively, in the colonic lamina propria under HPF). The receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) analysis revealed that Y <-0.391 was the cutoff value for the diagnosis of histological healing and that an area under the curve (AUC) was 0.942 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.905-0.979) with a sensitivity of 92.5% and a specificity of 83.6% ( P <0.001). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the intrareader reliability was 0.855 (95% CI: 0.781-0.909), and ICEI had good inter-reader reliability of 0.832 (95% CI: 0.748-0.894). During an 18-month follow-up, patients with histological healing had a substantially better outcome compared with those with unachieved histological healing ( P <0.001) using ICEI. During a 12-month follow-up from other nine hospitals, patients with histological healing also had a lower risk of relapse than patients with unachieved histological healing. Conclusions::ICEI can be used to predict histological healing and identify patients with a risk of relapse 12 months and 18 months after clinical therapy. Therefore, ICEI provides a promising, simplified approach to monitor histological healing and to predict the prognosis of UC.Registration::Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, No. ChiCTR2300077792.

Objective:To investigate the health status and needs of the occupational population in an industrial park in Shanghai, and to explore the causes.Methods:The study was a mixed method study. First, a list of health needs of the occupational population was developed through literature review. Then, a questionnaire was prepared on the basis of the list of health needs of the occupational population, which consisted of 4 parts: basic personal information, health status, medical care, and health needs. From September 16 to October 9, 2022, 3 enterprises of representative size and industry in Shanghai Xinzhuang Industrial Park were selected by convenience sampling method, and the target sample size was allocated in equal proportions according to the total number of employees, and the Quick Response code of the electronic questionnaire was distributed (Questionnaire Star). Finally, an interview outline was created based on the results of the questionnaire survey to gain a deeper understanding of the connotations and reasons for the health needs of employees, etc. The interviews were conducted from October 15 to 22, 2022.Results:A total of 819 enterprise employees were surveyed, of whom 580 (70.82%) were male, and their age was mainly concentrated in the 19-44 age group (621(75.82%)). Among them, 348 (42.49%) were overweight or obese, 388 (47.37%) had regular medical check-ups, and only 224 (27.35%) had active health interventions. The top 5 health needs of the surveyed population were relief of visual fatigue (365(44.57%)), improvement of sleep (355(43.35%)), relief of physical fatigue (343(41.88%)), oral health (333(40.66%)), and immunity enhancement (332(40.54%)). The interviewees were from 2 large enterprises, totaling 12 people. The results of the interviews showed that excessive use of mobile phones, high stress, interpersonal and social confusion, retaliatory late nights, sedentary lifestyles, and socializing were the main causes of health problems.Conclusions:The health status of the occupational population in Shanghai Xinzhuang Industrial Parks is not optimistic, and their health needs are obvious. Their health problems and needs are related to the characteristics of their work patterns.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) complicated by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:A total of 74 patients first diagnosed with T2DM at the Endocrinology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 2021 to October 2023 were included. Among them, 28 patients had concurrent NAFLD while 46 patients did not. Additionally, 51 healthy controls were matched (HC group). Clinical laboratory parameters were collected, and 16S rRNA sequencing with fecal samples was conducted to compare the differences in gut microbiota across the groups.Results:Compared to the group with T2DM, patients with concurrent T2DM and NAFLD were younger, had higher level of insulin resistance as assessed by the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, higher body mass index (BMI), and higher triglyceride levels. There was no difference in α-diversity across the three groups ( P>0.05), while there was a significant difference in β-diversity ( P=0.03). The Eubacterium coprostanoligenes, Fusicatenibacter, Parasutterella and Tyzzerella 3 were enriched in the group with concurrent T2DM and NAFLD as shown by the relative abundance, while the relative abundance of Flavonifractor was decreased in this group. Tyzzerella 3 abundance was positively correlated with triglyceride and albumin levels and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Conclusion:Patients with T2DM complicated by NAFLD exhibit dysbiosis in gut microbiota composition and specific genera abundance, with Flavonifractor identified as a potential protective factor for T2DM complicated by NAFLD.

Objective To investigate the effect of Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asia(OSTA)index on brachial ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV)and its predictive value for peripheral atherosclerosis in menopausal women.Methods A total of 1 138 menopausal women who underwent physical examination at our hospital from January 2022 to December 2022 were enrolled in the study.General clinical data were collected,the OSTA index was calculated,and baPWV was measured.Patients were divided into the control group(n=539)and the peripheral atherosclerosis group(n=599)according to the baPWV values(peripheral atherosclerosis occurs with baPWV≥1 400 cm/s).Linear regression and Logistic regression were used to analyze the effect of OSTA index on baPWV in menopausal women.The predictive value of peripheral atherosclerosis was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The OSTA index was lower in the peripheral atherosclerosis group than that in the control group[-0.40(-2.20,1.00)vs.0.40(-0.60,1.40),P＜0.05].Univariate linear regression analysis was used to conclude that the OSTA index was an influencing factor of baPWV,and after correcting for risk factors,multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that OSTA index still affected the value of baPWV(P＜0.05).The linear regression equation was baPWV=-27.911-39.752×OSTA+6.444×SBP+7.008×DBP+11.506×HCY+27.942×Hs-CRP.Logistic regression analysis suggested that increased OSTA index was a protective factor for peripheral atherosclerosis(OR=0.664,95%CI:0.535-0.823,P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis suggested that OSTA index was-1.25 as the optimal cutoff point,which predicted peripheral atherosclerosis with an area under the curve of 0.619,a sensitivity of 36.2%and a specificity of 86.3%.Conclusion In menopausal women,OSTA index is an influential factor for baPWV,and increased OSTA index is a protective factor against peripheral atherosclerosis,which can be used to predict baPWV value.

"Xuanfu",as the microscopic structure in TCM theory of visceral manifestations,spreads all over the human body.The microscopic pathological changes of acute ulcerative colitis are manifested as cryptic abscesses or even structural disorders of the colon.Its damp heat accumulates in the large intestine,and the pathogenic characteristics of the large intestine coincides with the concept of"Xuanfu"that likes opening and avoiding closing.The functions of the mechanical barrier and mucus barrier in the intestinal crypt are very similar to the characteristics of the"Xuanfu",which can provide morphological basis for the"Xuanfu"theory of the intestine.The method of clearing away and opening the"Xuanfu"can inhibit the"Xuanfu closed"state of the intestine caused by the accumulation of damp and heat,and promote the guiding role and theoretical support of the"Xuanfu-crypt"theory in the treatment of early crypt lesions of ulcerative colitis.

Objective:To explore the characteristic pathological manifestations of non-HLA antibodies after kidney transplantation (KT) and examine the differences of MFT values of non-HLA antibodies in different pathological manifestations.Methods:The study was conducted on KT recipients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2021 to June 2023 with unexplained elevated serum creatinine. Patients undergoing pathological puncture and concurrent HLA antibody testing were included, focusing on those with DSA (MFI>4 000) and non-HLA antibody negativity. According to the detection results of non-HLA and HLA antibodies, they were assigned into two groups of non-HLA antibody positive (45 cases) and HLA-DSA positive (28 cases). Both non-HLA and HLA antibodies were detected by luminex single antigen microbeads, χ2, t or Mann-Whitney U nonparametric tests were utilized for examining the inter-group differences in pathological manifestations. The recipients with positive non-HLA antibodies were grouped according to the differential pathological features[microvascular inflammation group (22 cases) and non-microvascular inflammation group (23 cases), interstitial fibrosis group (39 cases) and non-interstitial fibrosis (9 cases) ]. MFI values of non-HLA antibodies were standardized and heat map was generated with R language ComplexHeatmap package. The differences of response values of non-HLA antibodies with different pathological manifestations were examined by rank-sum test. Results:The positive rates of microvascular inflammation were 48.9% (22/45) and 82.1% (23/28) in HLA-DSA positive and non-HLA antibody positive groups with statistical significance ( χ2=8.073, P=0.006). The positive rates of interstitial fibrosis in two groups were 80.8% (36/45) and 53.6% (15/28) and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.726, P=0.021). The relative levels of anti-arachnotoxin receptor 1 (Latrophilin 1, LPHN1), keratin 8 (KRT8), keratin 18 (KRT18) and Sjogren's syndrome antigen B (SSB) were higher in microvascular inflammation group than those in non-microvascular inflammation group. The differences were statistically significant [559.50 (262.00, 801.25) vs 285.00 (183.00, 460.00), P=0.024; 504.50 (369.5, 725.25) vs 317.00 (231.50, 458.00), P=0.014; 672.50 (454.50, 969.50) vs 399.00 (246.50, 772.50), P=0.030; 967.50 (482.00, 2 066.50) vs 399.00 (246.50, 772.50), P=0.033]. The relative levels of anti-cyclic citrullinate peptide (CCP), colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) and collagen Ⅳ antibody were higher in interstitial fibrosis group than those in non-interstitial fibrosis group with statistical significance [100.00 (79.88, 167.50) vs 64.50 (37.00, 89.00), P=0.016; 146.25 (93.38, 244.75) vs 87.00 (66.00, 105.00), P=0.041; 132.50 (106.38, 229.50) vs 95.00 (55.00, 125.00), P=0.037; 432.50 (280.75, 653.75) vs 208.00 (192.00, 301.00), P=0.028]. Conclusions:As compared with HLA-DSA, the characteristic pathological manifestations of non-HLA antibodies post-KT include a lower incidence of microvascular inflammation and a higher incidence of interstitial fibrosis. For non-HLA antibody response values of characteristic pathological manifestations, the expressions of different non-HLA antibodies vary statistically.

Objective:Currently,patients with pre-exsiting donor-specific antibody(DSA)are prone to antibody-mediated rejection(AMR)after surgery and are at a relatively high risk of postoperative complications and graft failure.The risk of postoperative complications and graft failure is relatively high.This study aims to discuss the clinical outcome of DSA-positive kidney transplantation and analyze the role and safety of preoperative pretreatment in DSA-positive kidney transplantation,providing single-center treatment experience for DSA-positive kidney transplantation. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 15 DSA-positive kidney transplants in the Department of Renal Transplantation of First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2017 to July 2022.Eight cases were organ donation after citizen's death(DCD)kidney transplant recipients,of which 3 cases in the early stage were not treated with preoperative desensitisation therapy(DCD untreated group,n=3),and 5 recipients were treated with preoperative rituximab desensitisation(DCD preprocessing group,n=5).The remaining 7 cases were living related donors recipients(LRD)who received preoperative desensitisation treatment with rituximab and plasma exchange(LRD preprocessing group,n=7).We observed and recorded the incidence of complications with changes in renal function and DSA levels in the recipients and the survival of the recipients and transplanted kidneys at 1,3 and 5 years,and to compare the differences in recovery and postoperative complications between 3 groups. Results:All 15 recipients were positive for preoperative panel reactive antibody(PRA)and DSA and were treated with methylprednisolone+rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin induction before kidney transplantation.DCD untreated group all suffered from DSA level rebound,delayed renal graft function(DGF)and rejection reaction after surgery.After the combined treatment,DSA level was reduced and the graft renal function returned to normal.The DCD preprocessing group were all without antibody rebound,1 recipient developed DGF and the renal function returned to normal after plasmapheresis,and the remaining 4 recipients recovered their renal function to normal within 2 weeks after the operation.In the LRD preprocessing group,2 cases had antibody rebound and 1 case had rejection,but all of them recovered to normal after treatment,and DSA was maintained at a low level or even disappeared.The incidence of DGF and rejection in the DCD untreated group were significantly higher than that in the DCD preprocessing group and the LRD preprocessing group;and there were no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative haematuria,proteinuria,bacterial and fungal infections,and BK virus infection between the 3 groups(all P>0.05).A total of 11 of the 15 recipients were followed up for more than 1 year,6 for more than 3 years,and 1 for more than 5 years,and the survival rates of both the recipients and the transplanted kidneys were 100%. Conclusion:Effective preoperative pretreatment with desensitization therapy can effectively prevent antibody rebound in DSA-positive kidney transplantation and reduce perioperative complications.
