Objective: To investigate the identification process of a case with anti-Fy combined with Rh blood group system antibodies and to review the transfusion strategy and epidemiological characteristics of Duffy blood group system antibodies. Methods: The antibody specificity of a patient diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, who exhibited unexpected antibodies, was determined using the microcolumn gel method, enzyme method, and elution test. A retrospective analysis was performed to assess the incidence and clinical characteristics of antibodies associated with the Duffy blood group system among a cohort of 652 003 patients treated at our hospital from 2014 to 2024. Results: The patient's serum contained anti-Fy , anti-c, and anti-E antibodies. Through the targeted recruitment of African international students, the patient successfully received four units of Fy -negative blood that matched the ABO and Rh phenotypes. Between 2014 and 2024, the incidence of Duffy blood group system antibodies was 0.005 7% (37 out of 652 003), with 9 cases (24.3%) combined with Rh antibodies. Conclusion: Patients with anti-Fy combined with Rh antibodies require Fy -negative blood with matched Rh phenotypes. Targeted recruitment based on racial antigen differences can effectively resolve rare blood type transfusion challenges.

ObjectiveTo delineate imaging findings using an imaging platform and investigate the correlation between MRI characteristics of spinal cord atrophy and clinical diagnosis in children with spinal cord injury (SCI). MethodsImaging data of 150 children with SCI admitted to Beijing Bo'ai Hospital, China Rehabilitation Research Center, from January, 2002 to March, 2024 were collected and imported into the imaging platform. The anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the middle part of the spinal cord at the cross-section with the most severe atrophy were measured, and the relevant indicators of the previous normal spinal cord segment were measured as controls; the radiomic features were extracted. Clinical data of the children including gender, age, cause of injury, sensory level, motor level, spinal cord injury level, injury severity and disease course were collected. ResultsSpinal cord atrophy was identified in 81 cases (54%), among which 78 cases (96%) were American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade A and 3 cases (4%) were AIS grade C. The upper boundary of the spinal cord atrophy site strongly correlated with the injury level, motor level and sensory level (r > 0.8, P < 0.001). ConclusionMore than half of children with SCI may develop secondary spinal cord atrophy, the vast majority of whom suffer from complete spinal cord injury; the upper boundary of spinal cord atrophy is correlated with the injury level.

Objective: To retrospectively investigate the clinical efficacy, safety, and management experience of a patient diagnosed with polycythemia vera (PV) at the age of 3 who underwent regular erythrocytapheresis for 7 years starting at the age of 10. Methods: Treatment was initiated when the patient's hematocrit was≥50%. The goal was to reduce the hematocrit to below 40%; the removal volume was calculated as 10%-15% of the total red blood cell mass, and an equal volume of normal saline was supplemented during the procedure. Pre-treatment precautions included avoiding fasting and high-fat diets. Post-treatment measures included lying flat for 30 minutes, reducing strenuous exercise for 2–3 days, and rechecking complete blood count 2–5 days after the procedure. During the procedure, adverse reactions such as palpitations, dyspnea, hypotension, and convulsions were monitored. Follow-up was conducted after 3 days to assess any delayed adverse effects. Results: As of August 2025, the patient had undergone a total of 16 erythrocytapheresis sessions. The average volume ranged from 212 to 500 mL. The frequency was 1 to 4 times annually. Post-procedure, hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) were effectively controlled. Conclusion: Continuous erythrocytapheresis can effectively control Hb and Hct levels in PV patients, preventing adverse effects from the primary disease. Erythrocytapheresis demonstrates efficacy with minimal adverse reactions and can be used as a routine therapeutic technique for PV patients.

Objective To compare the benefits and drawbacks of primary patch expansion versus pericardial tube right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection in patients diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD). Methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with PA/VSD who underwent primary right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection surgery at our center between 2010 and 2020. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the type of right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection: a pericardial tube group and a patch expansion group. Clinical data and imaging findings were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 51 patients were included in the study, comprising 31 males and 20 females, with a median age of 12.57 (4.57, 49.67) months. The pericardial tube group included 19 patients with a median age of 17.17 (7.33, 49.67) months, while the patch expansion group consisted of 32 patients with a median age of 8.58 (3.57, 52.72) months. In both groups, the diameter of pulmonary artery, McGoon index, and Nakata index significantly increased after treatment (P<0.001). However, the pericardial tube group exhibited a longer extracorporeal circulation time (P<0.001). The reoperation rate was notably high, with 74.51% of patients requiring further surgical intervention, including 26 (81.25%) patients in the patch expansion group and 12 (63.16%) patients in the pericardial tube group. No statistical differences were observed in long-term cure rates or mortality between the two groups (P＞0.005). Conclusion In patients with PA/VSD, both patch expansion and pericardial tube right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection serve as effective initial palliative treatment strategies that promote pulmonary vessel development and provide a favorable foundation for subsequent radical operations. However, compared to the pericardial tube approach, the patch expansion technique is simpler to perform and preserves some intrinsic potential for pulmonary artery development, making it the preferred procedure.

Objective:To explore the protective effect of knock-down the expression of B lymphocyte induced maturation protein 1(Blimp1)gene on early liver injury in carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)-induced mouse model of liver fibrosis.Methods:C57BL/6 mice were intraderitoneal injected with 5％CCl4 olive oil solution to create mouse model of hepatic fibrosis.The expression of Blimp1 gene in the mice was re-duced by intraderitoneal injection of short hairpin RNA(shRNA)adeno-associated virus(AAV).The mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:blank test group(n=10),CCl4+AAV-shRNA-NC group(n=10)and CCl4+AAV-shRNA-Blimp1 group(n=10).After 27 days of preparation of the CCl4 mouse model,animal materials were carried out.Western blot and real-time PCR were used to detect the levels of Blimp1,α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1(COL1A1),collagen typeⅢ alpha 1(COL3A1),and their mRNA expression levels of liver tissue in each group.The serum of each group was separated to measure aspartate transaminase(AST)and alanine transaminase(ALT)by automatic biochemical analyzer.The pathological changes of liver tissue and the degree of liver fibrosis in the mice were detected by pathological staining including hematoxylin-eosin staining,Masson,and Sirius red.Results:The expression levels of Blimp1 protein in the liver of CCl4+AAV-shRNA-NC group(2.036±0.244,t=3.690,P=0.002)were significantly increased than that of the blank test group.In the CCl4+AAV-shRNA-Blimp1 group,the expression of Blimp1 protein decreased to the basal level(0.783±0.249,t=6.223,P=0.003).Compared with the serum levels of ALT[(1 957.8±633.6)U/L]and AST[(1 808.8±260.1)U/L]in the CCl4+AAV-shRNA-NC group,the serum levels of ALT[(894.0±360.1)U/L,t=3.998,P=0.003]and AST[(820.0±100.6)U/L,t=6.141,P=0.004]in the CCl4+AAV-shRNA-Blimp1 group were significantly decreased.The pathological re-sults of the CCl4+AAV-shRNA-Blimp1 group showed that compared with the CCl4+AAV-shRNA-NC group,the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the liver tissue was reduced and the degree of fibrosis was alleviated.The level of α-SMA(0.676±0.064,t=7.930,P=0.001),COL1A1(1.426±0.143,t=6.364,P=0.003)and COL3A1(1.124±0.198,t=3.440,P=0.026)of liver in the CCl4+AAV-shRNA-Blimp1 group were significantly decreased than that of CCl4+AAV-shRNA-NC group,and the mRNA expression levels were altered as well as their protein levels.Conclusion:Blimp1 plays an important role in CCl4-induced liver fibrosis in mice,and knock-down the expression of Blimp1 gene is beneficial to protect early liver injury in mice.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and clinical significance of serum immunoglob-ulins in patients with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome(CCS).Methods This retrospective study included CCS patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from December 2009 to September 2024 who under-went serum immunoglobulin testing.Clinical manifestations and ancillary examination results were analyzed ret-rospectively.Results Fifty-two patients were included(male:36[69.2%],female:16[30.8%]),with median onset age of 60(54-64)years and median diagnostic delay of 5(3-12)months.Common manifesta-tions included diarrhea(86.5%),abdominal pain(40.4%),hematochezia(19.2%),weight loss(86.5%),nail malnutrition(100.0%),pigmentation(88.5%),hair loss(84.6%),and hypogeusia(69.2%).Serum IgG reduction occurred in 21 patients(50.0%),while total IgE elevation was observed in 20(71.4%).Elevated serum IgG4 levels were noted in 11 patients(23.4%),with no significant clinical differences between IgG4-elevated and normal groups.IgG4 levels showed no statistical difference between active(n=43)and remission(n=27)groups.The hair loss rate was significantly higher in the total IgE-ele-vated group than that in the normal total IgE group(P=0.0383).Conclusions CCS patients exhibit periph-eral blood immunoglobulin disorders,with elevated IgE levels correlating with hair loss.This suggests an im-mune-mediated mechanism may underlie hair loss in CCS.

BACKGROUND:Non-traumatic necrosis of the femoral head is a difficult joint disease,and preserving one's own femoral head is of great significance for young patients.Currently,there is a lack of regular and unified functional exercise plans.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of hip abductor muscle exercise on the three-dimensional gait and collapse rate of patients with non-traumatic femoral head necrosis,and to provide theoretical basis for effective rehabilitation of patients with non-traumatic femoral head necrosis.METHODS:Totally 81 non-traumatic and non-surgical patients with femoral head necrosis(81 hips)admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from June 2020 to June 2022 were included.Patients were randomly divided into a control group(n=40)and a hip abductor muscle exercise group(n=41).The control group received routine physical therapy and medication treatment.The hip abductor muscle exercise group underwent hip abductor muscle exercise on the basis of the control group.The gait status(hip joint range of motion,step length difference,and ground contact time difference)of two groups of patients was evaluated using the Tecnobody balance assessment system before and 12 weeks after treatment.The BIODEX-S4 isokinetic muscle strength testing system was used to test the peak force distance of hip abduction isokinetic muscle strength.Gluteus medius width ratio was compared between two groups.The collapse rate was compared between two groups of patients 1 year after treatment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no statistically significant difference between the hip abductor muscle exercise group and the control group in terms of age,gender,side profile,body mass index,and etiology(P＞0.05).(2)Before treatment,there was no significant statistical difference in the range of motion of the affected hip joint between the two groups(P＞0.05).After treatment,the range of motion of the affected hip joint in both groups improved compared to before treatment(P＜0.05),and the range of motion of the affected hip joint in the hip abductor muscle exercise group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).(3)Before treatment,there was no significant statistical difference in the step length and touchdown time between the two groups(P＞0.05).12 weeks after treatment,the difference in step length and touchdown time between the two groups decreased compared to before treatment(P＜0.05),and the difference in step length and touchdown time between the hip abductor muscle exercise group after treatment was significantly greater than that of the control group(P＜0.05).(4)Before treatment,there was no significant statistical difference in gluteus medius width ratio between the two groups(P＞0.05).12 weeks after treatment,the gluteus medius width ratio of both groups increased compared to that before treatment(P＜0.05),and the gluteus medius width ratio of the hip abductor muscle exercise group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).(5)At 1 year after treatment,the comparison of femoral head collapse rates between the two groups showed significant statistical significance(P＜0.05),and that in the hip abductor muscle exercise group(22％)was significantly lower than that in the control group(45％).(6)It is concluded that exercise of the hip abductor muscle effectively enhances hip joint function,improves gait,and reduces the rate of femoral head collapse in patients with non-traumatic femoral head necrosis.It is recommended to use hip abductor muscle exercise as one of the basic methods for hip preservation in non-traumatic femoral head necrosis.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of adverse reactions caused by dinutuximab β for the treatment of neuro-blastoma(NB)in China and to provide safety evidence for the rational use of dinutuximab β in clinical practice.Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 16 pediatric patients with NB who had been treated with dinutuximab β at Shanghai Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2022 to November 2023,and the adverse reactions caused by dinutuximab β were summarized and analyzed.Results:The male-to-female ratio was 5:3 among the 16 children with NB.The retroperitoneum was the main initial site of involvement,accounting for 75%.Thirteen(81.25%)patients had high-risk NB.The adverse reactions caused by dinutuximab β mainly included decreased hemoglobin,fever,vomiting,and diarrhea.The inci-dence of adverse reactions was highest in the first course of treatment,and the median time of adverse reactions was 2-5 days.Conclu-sion:Targeted monitoring should be carried out at an early stage during dinutuximab β administration.Adverse reactions should be de-tected and managed early to ensure the safety of medication for children.
