Threatened abortion is a common disease of obstetrics and gynecology and one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in TCM obstetrics and gynecology, Western medicine obstetrics and gynecology, and pharmacology to deeply discuss the advantages of TCM and integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment as well as the medication plans for threatened abortion. After discussion, the experts concluded that chromosome, endocrine, and immune abnormalities were the key factors for the occurrence of threatened abortion, and the Qi and blood disorders in thoroughfare and conception vessels were the core pathogenesis. In the treatment of threatened abortion, TCM has advantages in preventing miscarriages, alleviating clinical symptoms and TCM syndromes, relieving anxiety, regulating reproductive endocrine and immune abnormalities, personalized and diversified treatment, enhancing efficiency and reducing toxicity, and preventing the disease before occurrence. The difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with traditional Chinese and Western medicine lies in identifying the predictors of abortion caused by maternal factors and the treatment of thrombophilia. Recurrent abortion is the breakthrough point of treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is urgent to carry out high-quality evidence-based medicine research in the future to improve the modern diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with TCM.

[Objective]To present a case of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) coexisting with Müllerian duct remnants (MDR) and to review previous reports in the literature to enhance the understanding of the clinical manifestations and pathophysiology of CAIS.[Methods]The study aimed to diagnose complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) by conducting physical examinations,chromosomal analysis,whole exome sequencing,laboratory tests including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH),luteinizing hormone (LH),total testosterone,estradiol,anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH),inhibin B,dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS),androstenedione,17-hydroxyprogesterone,and imaging studies such as pelvic ultrasound and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Laparoscopy revealed the presence of Müllerian duct structures. Additionally,the study reviewed similar cases of CAIS combined with Müllerian duct remnants reported in the literature.[Results]The child presented with female phenotype,elevated levels of FSH,LH,and testosterone. Pelvic MRI showed bilateral cryptorchidism without visible uterus or fallopian tubes. The chromosomal karyotype was 46,XY,and whole exome sequencing identified a pathogenic variant in the androgen receptor (AR) gene,c.2359C>T (p.Arg787*). No abnormalities were found in the AMH and AMHR2 gene tests. Laparoscopic exploration revealed underdeveloped testes and an underdeveloped uterus. Pathology showed the presence of fallopian tube-like structures next to the testicles. A total of 11 cases with genetically confirmed diagnosis of CAIS coexisting with MDR were retrieved from the database. The findings suggest that the initial clinical presentation,biochemical data,and gonadal pathology of CAIS with MDR are similar to those without MDR.[Conclusion]The study reports a patient with CAIS coexisting with MDR,which broadens the clinical spectrum of CAIS and provides a perspective for basic research on Müllerian duct regression that is independent of the AMH-AMHR2 signaling pathway.

Objective:To study the regional distribution, temporal trend, and health inequity of burn incidence in the world from 1990 to 2019.Methods:The data related to burns worldwide from 1990 to 2019 were collected from the database of Global Burden of Disease (GBD). Based on the number of burn cases and age-standardized incidence rates, the incidence of burn was observed by age, region, socio-demographic index (SDI) area (divided into 5 categories of SDI areas: high, medium-high, medium, medium-low and low, the higher the area, the higher the degree of social development) and country, all of which were expressed as estimated values. Joinpoint regression analysis of the age-standardized incidence of burns from 1990 to 2019 was performed using Joinpoint 4.8.0.1 software to observe the average annual percentage change (AAPC). Rstudio software was used to analyze the Spearman correlation between the age-standardized incidence of burns and SDI from 1990 to 2019. The global inequities of burn incidence were evaluated using the slope index and concentration index from the health equity assessment toolkit, where the slope index reflected the absolute difference in burn incidence between countries with the lowest and highest SDI, and the concentration index indicated the degree to which burn incidence was concentrated in countries with low or high SDI.Results:From 1990 to 2019, the number of global burncases increased from 8 378 121.71 to 8 955 227.68, with an increase of 6.89%. However, the age-standardized incidence rate of burns showed an overall downward trend, from 149.86/100 000 in 1990 to 117.51/100 000 in 2019, with an AAPC of -0.80%. The incidence of burns in the population aged 10-19 years ranked the first in all age groups during the 30 years. Among the six regions of the world, the number of burn cases and the age-standardized incidence rate of burn in the Americas were the highest in 2019, but these two indexes were lower than those in 1999. In 2019, the number of burn patients in medium SDI areas was the highest, and the number of burn patients in low SDI areas was the lowest. The age-standardized incidence of burns was the highest in high SDI areas, and the lowest in medium-low SDI areas. From 1990 to 2019, the number of patients in high and medium-high SDI areas decreased, and the number of patients in other SDI areas increased. Compared with 1990, the age-standardized incidence rates of burns decreased in all SDI regions in 2019, with the greatest decline seen in high SDI and medium-high SDI regions. Cuba had the highest standardized incidence of burns, while Pakistan had the lowest. Spearman correlation analysis showed that from 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized incidence rates of burns in 204 countries and regions were positively correlated with SDI (all P<0.05), and the correlation coefficient decreased from 0.49 in 1990 to 0.37 in 2019. The health inequality slope index decreased from 212.90/100 000 in 1990 to 59.12/100 000 in 2019, and the concentration index decreased from 21.77% in 1990 to 8.38% in 2019. Conclusion:From 1990 to 2019, the global burn incidence rates are disproportionately concentrated in countries and regions with better development status. A significant reduction in the global burn incidence has been accompanied by a significant reduction in these inequities.

【Objective】 To analyze the difference of Ct value of HBsAg-/HBV DNA + in blood samples from different types of voluntary blood donors by double ELISA and HBV DNA (MP6) detection, and to investigate the correlation between Ct value and the frequency of repeated blood donation, the first nucleic acid reactivity and the interval time of previous blood donation, so as to provide reference for laboratory evaluation of the effectiveness of nucleic acid testing(NAT) strategy for repeated blood donors occult hepatitis B virus infection(OBI). 【Methods】 The Ct value and information of blood donors from February 2019 to January 2022 in our laboratory were collected. According to the cumulative number of blood donations, they were divided into two groups:first-time blood donor group (Group A) and repeated blood donor group (Group B). Group B was subdivided into Group C 1( twice of blood donation) and group C 2(three or more times of blood donation) according to the cumulative times of blood donation, and Group D 1(< 1 year), Group D 2(1-3 years), Group D 3(3 years or more) according to the first NAT reactivity and the time of previous blood donation, the difference of Ct value and resolution yeild of HBV DNA in each group was compared. The yeild of HBV DNA in two groups was compared by chi-square test, and the difference of Ct values were compared by Nonparametric test. 【Results】 From February 2019 to January 2022, a total of 270 283 blood donors were tested, including 135 695 in Group A and 134 588 in Group B. The yeild of HBV DNA in Group A was 0.150% (203/135 695), which was higher than that in Group B [0.083% (111/134 588)] (P <0.05).All Ct values were non-normal distribution by normal distribution test, and were expressed as median (quartile), the median values of MP6 and resolution Ct were 37.0(35.9,38.2) and 35.5(33.7,36.9) in Group A, 37.2(36.4,38.1) and 36.5(35.5,37.6) in Group B, respectively. Ct values of MP detection and resolution in Group A, of MP detection and resolution in group B, and of resolution in group A and B were all significant (P<0.05) From the cumulative number of blood donations to compare, the median values of MP detection and resolution Ct were 37.5(36.6,38.3) and 36.5(35.4,37.6) in Group C1,37.1(36.4, 37.9) and 36.6(35.6,37.8) in Group C2, respectively. Significant difference in resolution Ct value between Group A and Group C1, Group A and C2 was noticed(P<0.05), the median values of MP detection Ct in D1, D2 and D3 groups were 37.2(36.3,38), 37.1(36.5,37.9), 37.8(36.6.38.9),respectively, with median resolution CT values at 37.0(35.7,37.8), 35.9(34.8,36.9), 36.9(36.1,37.7), respectively. There was a significant difference in the resolution Ct values between between Group A and D1 and D3 groups (P<0.05), and there was a significant difference between the MP detection and resolution Ct values in D2 Group (P<0.05). The resolution Ct values in D2 and D3 Group were lower than those in D1 Group (P<0.05).The interquartile distribution of Ct values in Group A was wider than that in other groups, and the interquartile distribution of Ct values in Group B was more concentrated. Conclusion The Ct value of HBV DNA detected by nucleic acid in blood donors was correlated with different times of blood donation and different intervals of blood donation. The laboratories of blood station should pay attention to the nucleic acid test results of different types of blood donors to ensure blood safety.

【Objective】 To evaluate the infection status and potential infectivity of Treponema pallidum specific antibody (anti-TP) reactive blood donors, and to provide reference for the key prevention and screening of TP under the current screening strategy. 【Methods】 From February to October 2021, 133 blood donors were tested reactive by two different anti-TP ELISA kits (77 cases were dual-reagent reactive and 56 cases were single-reagent reactive). Syphilis specific IgM antibody (TP-IgM) and IgG antibody (TP-IgG) were detected by Western blot (WB), and TRUST was conducted. The results were analyzed. 【Results】 Of the 133 samples, 24 (18.05%) were positive for TP-IgM, 40 (30.07%) were positive for TP-IgG, and 3 (2.26%) were positive for TRUST. Among them, 12 cases (15.58%) were TP-IgM positive and 40 cases (51.95%) were TP-IgG positive in 77 cases of double reagent reactivity, and 12 cases (21.43%) were TP-IgM positive and 0 was TP-IgG positive in 56 cases of single reagent reactivity. There was no significant difference in the positive rate of TP-IgM between the two groups (P>0.05), while the positive rate of TP-IgG in donors with double reagent reaction was higher than that in donors with single reagent reaction (P<0.05). In addition, among the 133 anti-TP-reactive blood donors, 15 cases were positive for single TP-IgM (11.28%, accounting for 62.50% of the total positive number of TP-IgM, a total of 12 cases of TP-IgM positive among the single reagent reactive patients, and all of them were TP-IgM positive and TP-IgG negative); 30 cases were positive for single TP-IgG (22.56%, accounting for 75.00% of the total positive number of TP-IgG). There were 55 cases (41.35%) who were negative for TP-IgM and TP-IgG, and 8 cases (6.02%) were both positive. 【Conclusion】 The TP-IgM positive donors in anti-TP reactive blood donors are infectious, but the positive rate is not high. Those with single reagent reactivity and single TP-IgM positive are prone to miss detection, which should be controlled. Those who were both TP-IgM and TP-IgG negative and those who were only TP-IgG positive may be false reactivity and the phenomenon of lifelong antibody expression. It is suggested to consider adding TP-IgM detection as a measurement index for permanent deferral of both reagents.

【Objective】 To study the safety, effectiveness and nursing of blood/fluid warmer during the process of plateletpheresis in winter. 【Methods】 The blood re-transfusion speed during plateletpheresis in winter and the time of blood passing through the blood return pipeline was counted. The vitro blood was heated with a blood/fluid warmer under different temperature settings, and the rising speed of blood temperature was recorded. The blood samples were tested for blood routine examination, free Hb and erythrocyte morphology at 0, 15 and 30 minutes. In the process of plateletpheresis in winter, the blood donors′ ear temperature and the skin temperature near the reinfusion needle in the observation group and the controls were measured, and the blood donors were observed for shivering, arm chills, pain or other discomfort. After the blood donation, the thermal comfort was evaluated. 【Results】 There was no difference in the results of routine blood test and plasma free Hb test of vitro blood after warming at 41℃, 42℃ and 43℃ for 0, 15 and 30 minutes (P>0.05), and no change in erythrocyte morphology was found. The skin temperature near the reinfusion needle (before vs. after the start of phlebotomy) was statistically different by applying blood/fluid warmer or not(P<0.05), and no difference in the temperature between the start and end of phlebotomy was observed in the observation group(P>0.05). The vitro blood heating experiment showed that when the room temperature was within 22~24℃, the blood retransfusion speed was (100-120) mL/min; after the application of blood/fluid warmer, the temperature of reinfusion blood could be raised from 27℃ to 33~37℃. The proportion of feeling comfortable and very comfortable and the score of thermal comfort in the blood donors who used the warmer were higher than those in the controls (P<0.05). When the temperature of the warmer was set above 38℃, the average score of thermal comfort of blood donors was above 8. 【Conclusion】 It is safe to apply the blood/fluid warmer during the plateletsapheresis in winter, which can significantly improve the comfort of blood donors and reflect the humanized service of blood stations, and is worth popularizing.
