OBJECTIVE To analyze the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection(LTBI)in hospitalized patients of a tertiary general hospital and investigate the current status of related comorbidities.METHODS The clinical data were collected from the 14 448 hospitalized patients who received tuberculin skin test(TST)or interferon-gamma release assay(IGRA)in China-Japan Friendship Hospital from Jan.1,2022 to Dec.31,2023,and the results were assessed.RESULTS The detection rate of LTBI was 23.62％(3413/14448)among the hospitalized patients who received the tests,and the rate of definite diagnosis was only 4.22％(144/3413).88.40％(3017/3413)of the hospitalized patients with LTBI had at least one type of comorbidity,and the top 5 comorbidities were in turn as follows:high blood pressure,hyperlipidemia,diabetes mellitus,malignant tumors and rheumatic immune disea-ses;the number of comorbidities was increased with the age(x2=291.199,P＜0.001).The rheumatic immune disease(73/144,50.69％)was the most common type of comorbidity among the hospitalized patients with definite diagnosis of LTBI,and less than half of the patients(66/144,45.83％)were treated in rheumatology and immu-nology department.CONCLUSION The two-way screening of LTBI and comorbidities is the core premise for the standardized management of LTBI.

Objective To construct a nomogram model for predicting the risk of in-hospital death in CHF patients by using noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring combined with age,DBP,CRP and renal insufficiency(serum creatinine≥ 442 μmol/L).Methods A total of 223 elderly patients with acute onset of CHF admitted in First,Second Medical Centre of Chinese PLA General Hos-pital from September 2022 to March 2023 were recruited in this study.According to their clinical outcomes,they were divided into survival group(196 cases)and death group(27 cases).Based on the in-hospital death and other related indicators,a nomogram model was constructed to predict the risk factors of in-hospital death in CHF.Results Noninvasive hemodynamic mornitoring indi-cated that the death group had significantly higher LVEF and LCWI values but lower LVEDV value than the survival group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.131,95％CI:1.052-1.213,P=0.001),DBP(OR=0.932,95％CI:0.882-0.982,P=0.011),CRP(OR=1.171,95％CI:1.021-1.352,P=0.024),LVEDV(OR=0.984,95％CI:0.962-0.992,P=0.011)and renal insufficiency(OR=5.863,95％CI:1.351-1.731,P=0.004)were independent risk factors for the short-term prognosis of the elderly CHF patients.The AUC value of the nomogram model was 0.902(95％CI:0.819-0.948,P＜0.05),and calibration curve analysis showed the C-index was 0.902,indicating accurate predictive perform-ance.Conclusion Age,DBP,LVEDV,CRP and renal insufficiency are independent risk factors for the short-term prognosis of the elderly CHF patients.

Early life stress in humans can affect the normal development of individual neural networks, ultimately leading to diseases such as anxiety, depression, and autism in such children. The maternal separation model is commonly used to study the effects of early adverse experiences in human infants. Studies have shown that maternal separation in mice can lead to anxiety, depression, and impairments in spatial learning and memory in young mice during adulthood. However, enriched environmental interventions have been found to ameliorate the negative outcomes of early life stress by exerting a range of beneficial effects. This article provides an overview of the positive effects of enriched environmental interventions on mice in the maternal separation model.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the coagulation deficit and genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with Congenital dysfibrinogenemia (CD). METHODS: Peripheral venous blood samples of the proband and her family members (including 4 individuals from three generations) were subjected to routine blood test and assays of liver and kidney functions and viral hepatitis to exclude related diseases. Clauss method and DFg-PT method were used to determine the fibrinogen activity (Fg:C), and an immunoturbidimetric assay was used to determine the level of fibrinogen antigen (Fg:Ag). All of the exons (22 in total) and their flanking sequences of the FGA, FGB and FGG genes were amplified by PCR and directly sequenced. Variants in the coding regions of the three genes and transcriptional splicing sites were screened by using Mutation Surveyor^TM software. RESULTS: The Clauss method showed that Fg:C was significantly reduced in the proband and her father, whilst her mother and son were normal. With the DFg-PT method, the proband, her parents and son were all within the normal range. The Fg:C/Fg:Ag ratio of the proband and her father was lower than 0.7, whilst her mother and son were above 0.7. No significant change in the prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin clotting time and thrombin time was noted. Two genetic variants were detected, which included a homozygous missense variant in the FGA gene [c.991A>G (p.Thr331Ala)], which was predicted to be benign, and a heterozygous missense variant of the γ chain of the FGG gene [c.1211C>G (p.Ser404Phe)], which is located in a conserved region and unreported in the CLINVAR/HGMD/EXAC/1000G databases and literature. CONCLUSION This pedigree has conformed to the autosomal dominant inheritance of CD. The c.1211C>T (p.Ser404Phe) missense variant of the γ chain of the FGG gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of CD in this pedigree. The variant was unreported previously and named as "Fibrinogen Harbin II Ser404Phe".

Berberine (BBR) as one of the most effective natural products has been increasingly used to treat various chronic diseases due to its immunosuppressive/tolerogenic activities. However, it is unknown if BBR can be applied without abrogating the efforts of vaccination. Here we show that priming of CD8⁺ T cells in the presence of BBR lead to improved central memory formation (Tcm) with substantially reduced effector proliferation, primarily orchestrated through activation of AMPK and Stat5. Tcm derived from vaccinated mice fed with BBR were able to adoptively transfer protective immunity to naïve recipients. Vaccination of BBR-fed mice conferred better memory protection against infection without losing immediate effector efficacy, suggesting appreciable benefits from using BBR in vaccination. Thus, our study may help to lay the groundwork for mechanistic understanding of the immunomodulatory effects of natural products and their potential use as adjuvant that allows the design of novel vaccines with more desirable properties.
