[Objective] To validate and optimize the platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) prediction model for patients with hematological disorders established by our center. [Methods] The data of patients with hematological diseases who received platelet transfusions from December 2021 to December 2022 were used as the training set, and data from January 2023 to December 2023 as the validation set. The validation set data was used to validate the predictive model constructed on the training set. Relevant risk factors for PTR were collected through literature review and preliminary studies。 The patients were divided into effective and ineffective groups according to the corrected count increment (CCI) of platelet counts. Predictive factors were screened using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The calibration of the model were assessed via calibration curves, while discrimination, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves Clinical utility was further analyzed with decision curve analysis (DCA). [Results] The Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test for the validation set yielded S: P=0.000, indicating that the original model needs optimization. Baseline comparisons and logistic regression identified the number of red blood cell units (RBCU) and platelet units (PLT-U) transfused as key predictors for the optimized model. The H-L goodness-of-fit test S: P values for the training and validation sets were 0.930 and 0.056, respectively; the ROC areas were 0.793 5 and 0.809 4, specificities 90.95% and 84.21%, sensitivities 59.26% and 70.04%, and accuracies 78.14% and 74.10%, respectively. DCA demonstrated clinical net benefit within a prediction probability threshold range of 0.2-0.8. [Conclusion] Transfusion volumes of RBC-U and PLT-U were inversely associated with PTR in hematological patients. The resulting PTR prediction model exhibits moderate predictive efficacy and clinical benefit.

BACKGROUND:Degenerative scoliosis is defined as a condition that occurs in adulthood with a coronal cobb angle of the spine>10° accompanied by sagittal deformity and rotational subluxation,which often produces symptoms of spinal cord and nerve compression,such as lumbar pain,lower limb pain,numbness,weakness,and neurogenic claudication.The finite element method is a mechanical analysis technique for computer modelling,which can be used for spinal mechanics research by building digital models that can realistically restore the human spine model and design modifications. OBJECTIVE:To review the application of finite element method in the etiology and treatment of degenerative scoliosis. METHODS:The literature databases CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science were searched for articles on the application of finite element method in degenerative scoliosis published before October 2023.Search terms were"finite element analysis,biomechanics,stress analysis,degenerative scoliosis,adult spinal deformity"in Chinese and English.Fifty-four papers were finally included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The biomechanical findings from the degenerative scoliosis model constructed using the finite element method were identical to those from the in vivo experimental studies,which proves that the finite element method has a high practical value in degenerative scoliosis.(2)The study of the etiology and treatment of degenerative scoliosis by the finite element method is conducive to the prevention of the occurrence of the scoliosis,slowing down the progress of the scoliosis,the development of a more appropriate treatment plan,the reduction of complications,and the promotion of the patients'surgical operation.(3)The finite element method has gradually evolved from a single bony structure to the inclusion of soft tissues such as muscle ligaments,and the small sample content is increasingly unable to meet the research needs.(4)The finite element method has much room for exploration in degenerative scoliosis.

[Objective] To analyze the prevalence of human T-lymphocyte leukemia virus (HTLV) among blood donors in Guangzhou from 2016 to 2021, and provide a basis for blood collection and supply management in this region. [Methods] A total of 2 116 951 voluntary blood donors were screened for anti-HTLV by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from March 2016 to December 2021 in Guangzhou, and the reactive cases were further confirmed by Western blotting (WB). Qualitative data were analyzed by χ2 with spss19 software. The trend of the total positive rate of HTLV confirmation test by WB from 2016 to 2021 was analyzed with the Joinpoint software, and the annual percent change (APC) was used to determine whether the trend changes were statistically significant. [Results] From March 2016 to December 2021, the total positive rate for anti-HTLV by ELISA among voluntary blood donors in Guangzhou was 0.019 7% (416/ 2116 951), and the WB confirmed positive rate was 0.001 1% (23/2 116 951). The total positive rate of HTLV among individual voluntary blood donors in the six main districts (0.002 12%, 19/895 301) was higher than that among group voluntary blood donors (0.000 32%, 3/951 947) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the total positive rate of HTLV confirmation between the six main districts (0.001 19%) and the three non-main districts (0.000 37%) (P>0.05). The trend of the total positive rate of HTLV infection in the six main districts and the Guangzhou area(including the six main districts and three non-main districts) showed no significant increase or decrease. [Conclusion] The prevalence of HTLV among blood donors in Guangzhou remains at a low level.

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of anticentromere antibody （ACA） on the clinical features and prognosis of patients with primary biliary cholangitis （PBC） by comparing clinical classification， ursodeoxycholic acid （UDCA） response， GLOBE score， and UK-PBC score between ACA-positive PBC patients and ACA-negative PBC patients. MethodsA total of 749 patients who were admitted to Beijing Ditan Hospital， Capital Medical University， from August 2013 to December 2022 and were diagnosed with PBC were enrolled and divided into ACA-positive group with 147 patients and ACA-negative group with 602 patients. According to their conditions on admission， the two groups were compared in terms of the distribution of clinical types， i.e.， chronic progression-type PBC， portal hypertension-type PBC， and standard jaundice/liver failure-type PBC. There were 261 patients with complete data after 1-year follow-up， among whom there were 53 patients with positive ACA and 208 with negative ACA. A statistical analysis was performed， and propensity score matching was performed based on sex and age at a ratio of 1∶2. The two groups were compared in terms of 1-year UDCA response rate， GLOBE score， and UK-PBC score before and after matching. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsCompared with the ACA-negative group， the ACA-positive group had a significantly higher age （61.28±10.35 years vs 56.74±12.17 years， t=4.164， P<0.001）， a significantly higher proportion of female patients （93.9% vs 77.6%， χ²=20.221， P<0.001）， a significantly higher proportion of patients with portal hypertension （48.3% vs 27.6%， χ²=23.289， P<0.001）， and a significantly lower proportion of patients with jaundice/liver failure （24.5% vs 38.5%， χ²=10.205， P<0.001）. After 1-year follow-up， for the 261 PBC patients with complete data， there was no significant difference in UDCA response rate before propensity score matching between the ACA-positive group and the ACA-negative group （41.5% vs 41.8%， P>0.05）， and there was a significant difference in the proportion of patients with a GLOBE score of >0.3 between the ACA-positive group and the ACA-negative group （92.5% vs 80.3%， χ²=3.935， P=0.047）. There were 53 patients in the ACA-positive group and 106 patients in the ACA-negative group after propensity score matching， and there were no significant differences between the two groups in UDCA response rate， GLOBE score， and UK-PBC score （all P>0.05）. ConclusionACA-positive patients tend to have an older age， with a higher proportion of female patients or patients with portal hypertension， while there is a relatively low proportion of patients with jaundice/liver failure. Positive ACA has no significant impact on UDCA response rate， GLOBE score， and UK-PBC score.

Objective To explore risk factors for cardiac valve calcification (CVC) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and evaluate its impact on cardiovascular events and mortality. Methods Retrospective selection of 223 patients with MHD admitted to the Department of Nephrology of Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2024, and enrollment completed within one week of June 30, 2019. Patients were divided into CVC and non-CVC groups. Baseline data and 5-year follow-up data were collected. The binary logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the risk factors for CVC. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the survival rate of patients. Cox proportional hazard regression model was applied to evaluate the impact of CVC on the survival rates of MHD patients. Results Totally, 223 MHD patients with an average age of (58.4±13.5) years and an average dialysis duration of (64.0±55.4) months were involved. Among them, 136(61.0%) were males, 117(52.5%) were complicated with CVC. Age, dialysis duration, diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the serum corrected total calcium and phosphate, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) were independent related factors for CVC (P＜0.05). Both all-cause mortality (46.6% vs 28.7%) and cardiovascular mortality (33.3% vs 16.0%) were significantly higher in the CVC group than those in the non-CVC group (P＜0.01). Conclusions Age, dialysis duration, the primary disease, calcium and phosphate, and inflammation- and nutrition-related serum indicators are associated with CVC in MHD patients. CVC significantly increases mortality risk of MHD patients.

Lung transplantation is the ultimate therapeutic option for end-stage pulmonary diseases such as interstitial pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumoconiosis. Currently, the shortage of allogeneic lung donors significantly limits the opportunity for end-stage lung disease patients to receive lung transplantation. In recent years, with the rapid development of biomedical engineering technologies, especially the major breakthroughs in genetic modification and cloning, xenogeneic lung transplantation has shown important potential for clinical translation. Among them, genetically modified pigs have become the most promising xenogeneic lung source due to the close similarity of organ size and physiological characteristics to humans, and the ability to perform targeted gene knockouts (such as α-Gal antigen knockout) to reduce the occurrence of hyperacute rejection. This article focuses on the research progress of porcine xenogeneic lung transplantation, systematically reviews the latest achievements and challenges in animal experiments and human trials, and introduces the technical experience accumulated by Shenzhen Third People's Hospital in the porcine-to-monkey xenogeneic lung transplantation model, in the hope of providing practical references for future research in this field.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of dopamine hydrazine combined with carlobidopa controlled-release tablets in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and its effect on inflammatory reaction, serum homocysteine and YKL-40 levels in patients with Parkinson's disease.Methods:A case-control study was conducted to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 230 patients with Parkinson's disease who received treatment at Xianyang Hospital of Yan 'an University from January 2020 to December 2022. According to the different treatment methods, these patients were divided into a dopamine hydrazine (treatment with dopamine hydrazine, n = 113) and a combination group (treatment with dopamine hydrazine and carlobidopa controlled-release tablets, n = 117). All patients were treated for 6 weeks. Inflammatory reactions, serum homocysteine levels, and serum YKL-40 levels post-treatment were compared with pre-treatment levels. Clinical efficacy and the incidence of adverse reactions were evaluated between the two groups. Results:After 6 weeks of treatment, the levels of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in the combination group were (9.76 ± 1.57) ng/L, (27.02 ± 3.41) ng/L, (10.29 ± 1.89) ng/L, and (6.62 ± 0.99) mg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the dopamine hydrazine group [(12.34 ± 1.97) ng/L, (30.84 ± 4.73) ng/L, (13.83 ± 2.18) ng/L, (8.77 ± 1.55) mg/L, t = -10.98, -7.04, -13.16, -12.58, all P < 0.05]. The serum levels of homocysteine and YKL-40 in the combination group were (19.08 ± 5.70) μmol/L and (3.33 ± 0.97) g/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the dopamine hydrazine group [(22.54 ± 5.62) μmol/L, (4.03 ± 1.23) g/L, t = -4.63, -4.81, both P < 0.05]. The total response rate in the combination group was 94.02% (110/117), which was significantly higher than 78.76% (89/113) in the dopamine hydrazine group (χ2 = 11.47, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The use of dopamine hydrazine combined with carbidopa controlled-release tablets for the treatment of Parkinson's disease reduces inflammatory reactions, decreases serum homocysteine and YKL-40 levels, enhances clinical efficacy, and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between serum fibronectin 3(Ficolin-3)levels and early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL)patients.Methods:A total of 125 patients with newly diagnosed APL admitted to Shanxi Bethune Hospital from January 2020 to August 2023 were selected.All patients were given all-trans retinoic acid+arsenic for induction therapy.The severe bleeding events within 30 days of induction therapy(assessed by WHO bleeding score,grade 0,grade 1 and grade 2 were no bleeding or mild bleeding,grade 3 and grade 4 were severe or fatal bleeding)were used as observation endpoints.The serum Ficolin-3 levels was dected by ELISA method,baseline data and other laboratory indicators were counted,and the correlation between serum Ficolin-3 levels and early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed APL patients was analyzed.Results:23 out of 125 APL patients experienced early severe bleeding during induction therapy,including 13 cases of grade 3 bleeding and 10 cases of grade 4 bleeding.There were 102 cases of non-serious bleeding,including 30 cases of grade 0,24 cases of grade 1 bleeding,and 48 cases of grade 2 bleeding.The proportion of serum promyelocytes,white blood cell count,and D-D level in the severe bleeding group were significantly higher than those in the non severe bleeding group(P＜0.05),while the levels of PLT and FIB were significantly lower than those in the non-serious bleeding group(P＜0.05).The serum Ficolin-3 levels in the severe bleeding group were significantly lower than those in the non severe bleeding group before treatment,7 days of treatment,14 days of treatment,and 30 days of treatment(P＜0.05).Confirmed by point two column correlation,serum Ficolin-3 levels were negatively correlated with early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed APL patients before treatment,7 days,14 days,and 30 days after treatment(r values were-0.485,-0.397,-0.304,and-0.183,respectively).The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)graph of the subjects was drawn,and the results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum Ficolin-3 levels before treatment and at 7 and 14 days after treatment for predicting early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed APL patients was greater than 0.7,all of which had certain predictive efficacy,and the serum Ficolin-3 level before treatment had the best predictive efficacy.Conclusion:The serum Ficolin-3 levels in newly diagnosed APL patients are associated with early severe bleeding,and the serum Ficolin-3 levels before treatment have a significant advantage in predicting early severe bleeding in newly diagnosed APL patients.

Objective:To investigate the 10-years risk for cardiovascular diseases(CVD) among different subtypes of pre-diabetes(Pre-DM) residents aged 40 and above in Guiyang urban area and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:A total of 5 798 residents who participated in the " Risk Evaluation of cAncers in Chinese diabe Tic Individuals: a lONgitudinal(REACTION) Study" were selected to undergo oral glucose tolerance test and glycated hemoglobin test. According to the Pre-DM diagnostic criteria, normal glucose tolerance(NGT), impaired fasting glucose(IFG), impaired glucose tolerance(IGT), and diabetes mellitus were defined based on glycated hemoglobin(IA1C), and were combined into four groups: NGT group, single subtype group(IFG, IGT, IA1C), two-subtype combination group(IFG+ IGT, IFG+ IA1C, IGT+ IA1C), and three-subtype combination group(IFG+ IGT+ IA1C). Ten-year cardiovascular disease occurrence was investigated. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk of CVD occurrence in different subtypes of Pre-DM residents. Results:(1)The incidence in the single subtype group, two subtypes group and three subtypes group of CVD was 6.6%(182/2 752), 8.4%(135/1 613) and 9.6%(53/551) , respectively, all higher than NGT group at 5.2%(46/882). (2) Regardless of diagnosed by fasting blood glucose, 2 h blood glucose, or glycated hemoglobin, the 10-year CVD incidence rates(8.7%, 8.6%, 7.6%) in Pre-DM were higher than that in the NGT group(5.2%; all P<0.05). (3)After multivariate adjustment, compared with the NGT group, the 10-year CVD risk gradually increased in the single subtype group, two-subtype group, and three-subtype group, with OR of 1.03(95% CI 0.74-1.45), 1.08(95% CI 0.75-1.54), and 1.16(95% CI 0.75-1.78), respectively. Conclusion:The Pre-DM population has a higher 10-year risk for CVD, and the risk increases gradually with the accumulation of subtypes. Therefore the prevention and treatment of CVD should focus on the management of the Pre-DM population.
