Objective To investigate the herpes zoster vaccination willingness in middle-aged population in Zibo City, and analyze its influencing factors. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among population aged 40-59 years in 24 streets of 8 districts and counties in Zibo City using stratified sampling method, and the willingness to vaccinate herpes zoster vaccine was statistically analyzed. The influencing factors of herpes zoster vaccination willingness in middle-aged population in Zibo City were analyzed. Results Among the 692 survey subjects, 654 cases (94.51%) were not vaccinated with herpes zoster vaccine, among which 170 cases (25.99%) were willing to be vaccinated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, education level, knowledge of herpes zoster, presence or absence of people with herpes zoster around them, knowledge of symptoms and sequelae of herpes zoster, knowledge of herpes zoster vaccine, knowledge of preventive effect of herpes zoster vaccine on herpes zoster, possible adverse reactions after vaccination, and acceptable effective rate of vaccine were the influencing factors of herpes zoster vaccination willingness in middle-aged population in Zibo City (P<0.05). Conclusion The willingness of herpes zoster vaccination is low in middle-aged population in Zibo City, and its influencing factors include gender, age, education level, herpes zoster cognition and vaccine cognition. It is necessary to strengthen the education of herpes zoster and vaccine among middle-aged population in Zibo City, and formulate promotion strategies based on individualized needs to enhance the vaccination willingness of people.

Objective: To analyze the serological phenotypes and molecular genetic characteristics of a proband with ABO forward and reverse typing discrepancy and their family members, and to investigate the molecular genetic mechanism underlying the Ael/AelB phenotype caused by the c. 575T>C variant on an ABO A1.02 background. Methods: Serological testing and adsorption-elution assays were performed for blood group identification of the proband and family members. PCR-SBT, cloning sequencing, and Nanopore third-generation sequencing were used to analyze ABO gene variants and haplotypes. Phyre2 and PyMOL were used to predict the effect of the p. Ile192Thr variant on the structure of glycosyltransferase A (GTA), and plasma GTA activity was evaluated using an in vitro transferase assay. Results: Among thirteen family members, four members showed a serological phenotype consistent with the Ael subtype and one with the AelB subtype. Cloning sequencing and third-generation sequencing confirmed that five family members carried the ABO A1.02 (c. 575T>C) variant, which co-segregated with the weak A phenotype in the family. Structural modeling suggested that p. Ile192Thr may alter the local spatial conformation and hydrogen-bond interactions of GTA. Plasma GTA activity testing showed markedly reduced GTA activity in the tested individuals. Conclusion: The ABO A1.02 (c. 575T>C) variant is associated with the Ael/AelB phenotype. The p. Ile192Thr substitution may weaken A antigen expression by altering GTA conformation and reducing enzymatic activity. This study provides additional evidence for the role of this variant in the Ael/AelB phenotype from the perspectives of familial inheritance, full-length haplotype analysis, and functional assessment, which is important for accurate ABO subtype identification and individualized transfusion strategies.

Objective:To explore the value of blood lactic acid (BLA), procalcitonin (PCT), and total bilirubin (TBil) in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of patients with trauma complicated with sepsis.Methods:The clinical data of 151 patients with severe trauma admitted to the Department of Emergency Medicine, Nanxishan Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from July 2019 to August 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into the sepsis group (72 cases) and non-sepsis group (79 cases) according to the diagnosis. They were further divided into the death group (37 cases) and non-death group (114 cases) based on clinical outcomes. Clinical data were compared between groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of the above indicators, and Spearman correlation analysis was applied to evaluate the correlation between the indicators.Results:The levels of BLA, PCT, TBil, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in the sepsis group were higher than those in the non-sepsis group (all P<0.05). The mortality rate of the sepsis group was significantly higher than that of the non-sepsis group, with a statistically significant difference [26/72(36.11%) vs 11/79(13.92%), χ 2=10.024, P=0.002]. The levels of BLA, PCT, TBil, and SOFA score in the death group were higher than those in the non-death group (all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve (AUC) of BLA, PCT, TBil, and their combination for diagnosing sepsis were 0.745, 0.826, 0.753, and 0.889 respectively; the sensitivity and specificity of the combined diagnosis of sepsis were 87.5% and 72.2%. The AUCs of BLA, PCT, TBil, and their combination for predicting the prognosis of sepsis were 0.644, 0.697, 0.614, and 0.713 respectively; the sensitivity and specificity of the combined prediction of sepsis prognosis were 64.9% and 71.1%. Among the 151 patients, the levels of BLA, PCT, TBil were positively correlated with SOFA score, with statistically significant differences ( r=0.3871, 0.4399, 0.4851, all P<0.001). Conclusions:BLA, PCT, and TBil levels have certain value in the early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of patients with sepsis. The combined evaluation has the best efficacy and high guiding value in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the serological and molecular biological characteristics of 4 samples and family with ABO positive and negative stereotypes caused by ABO*AW and to study its inheritance mode.Methods The ABO blood group phenotype of the samples was identified by conventional blood group serology and absorption-elution test.The seven exons and their flanking introns of the ABO gene were amplified by PCR,and the amplified products were analyzed by direct sequencing and cloning sequencing.A pedigree investigation was carried out on the relatives of the proband.Results The blood group serology of the proband 1,2,3 were AweakB,with IgM-A1 antibody.The blood group serology of the proband 4 was AweakB.Sequencing.The genotypes of the four probands were as follows:ABO*AW.25/B.01,ABO*AW.26/B.01,ABO*AW.37/B.01,ABO*AW.37/B.01.Compared with the ABO*A1.01,ABO*AW25 exhibits c.467C>T,c.829G>A and c.1061del G mutation sites.ABO*AW.26 has c.467C>T,c.527G>A and c.1061del G mutation sites.ABO*AW.37 has a c.940A>G mutation site.The pedigree investigation showed that the blood group serological results of the 4th proband's father,mother,husband and son were Aweak,B,A and A,the ABO*AW.37 allele existed in the ABO gene of the 4th proband's father and son.Conclusion The point mutation on the ABO*A1.01 can generate the ABO*AW,resulting in weak expression of a antigen on erythrocytes,and it can descend stably.

Objective: To reveal the molecular biological mechanism of a rare Dc-variant individual using PacBio third-generation sequencing technology. Methods: ABO and Rh blood type identification, DAT, unexpected antibody screening and D antigen enhancement test were conducted by serological testing. The absorption-elution test was used to detect the e antigen. RHCE gene typing was performed by PCR-SSP, and the 1-10 exons of RHCE were sequenced by Sanger sequencing. The full-length sequences of RHCE, RHD and RHAG were detected by PacBio third-generation sequencing technology. Results: Serological findings: Blood type O, Dc-phenotype, DAT negative, unexpected antibody screening negative; enhanced D antigen expression; no detection of e antigen in the absorption-elution test. PCR-SSP genotyping indicated the presence of only the RHCE c allele. Sanger sequencing results: Exons 5-9 of RHCE were deleted, exon 1 had a heterozygous mutation at c. 48G/C, and exon 2 had five heterozygous mutations at c. 150C/T, c. 178C/A, c. 201A/G, c. 203A/G and c. 307C/T. Third-generation sequencing results: RHCE genotype was RHCE 02N. 08/RHCE-D(5-9)-CE; RHD genotype was RHD 01/RHD 01; RHAG genotype was RHAG 01/RHAG 01 (c. 808G>A and c. 861G>A). Conclusion: This Dc-individual carries the allele RHCE 02N. 08 and the novel allele RHCE-D(5-9)-CE. The findings of this study provide data support and a theoretical basis for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying RhCE deficiency phenotypes.

Objective:To carry out serological and molecular tests on 12 blood donors and family members of one proband with discrepancy results for ABO serological typing.Methods:Twelve blood donors with ABO discrepancies identified by the Blood Center of Shaanxi Province from March 2015 to December 2023 and family members of one proband were selected as the study subjects. Serological blood typing was carried out to determine their blood phenotype. ABO genotype of the samples was determined by direct sequencing of amplicons of exons 1 to 7 and cloning sequencing of amplicons of exons 6 and 7. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Blood Center of Shaanxi Province (Ethics No.202328). Results:Serological results showed that 5 samples were Aweak, 4 samples were Aweak with anti-A1 antibody, and 3 samples were AweakB with anti-A1. Direct sequencing and cloning sequencing results showed that all 12 samples had the haplotype ABO* A1.01/c.389T>C, and family studies showed that the allele could be stably inherited. Glycosyltransferase activity in the plasma was decreased in all samples. Conclusion:The c. 389T>C variant of the ABO* A1.01 allele can alter the encoded amino acid p.Leu130Pro, which weakens the activity of A glycosyltransferase, ultimately leading to the weak expression of A antigen.
