Objective: To investigate the prevalence of Dengue virus (DENV) infection among voluntary blood donors in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, and to evaluate the necessity of implementing nucleic acid testing (NAT) for blood donors during the rainy season (May-October). Methods: Prior to initiating donor screening, the Xishuangbanna Central Blood Center conducted in-house validation of reagent performance and participated in external quality assessment (EQA) organized by the National Center for Clinical Laboratories (NCCL). During the surveillance period (August-October 2024), a total of 2 919 donor samples were screened using a 6-sample mini-pool NAT strategy. Daily internal quality controls were recorded. Samples that tested positive in pooled screening were deconvoluted and retested in duplicate; only those reactive in both replicate wells were sent to the NCCL for confirmatory testing. At NCCL, samples underwent re-testing using five domestic NAT reagents, as well as serological assays for NS1 antigen and DENV-specific IgG/IgM. Confirmed positive samples were further characterized by serotyping, envelope (E) gene sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis using the maximum likelihood method. Results: The DENV NAT reagent demonstrated consistent detection of 40 copies/mL controls in individual donor (ID)-NAT test (mean CT: 35.61±0.40). During the 63-day quality control monitoring, DENV detection remained stable (mean CT: 22.53±0.72). The center achieved full marks in EQA assessments for 2023 and 2024. Three reactive pools were identified in initial screening, and subsequent individual testing confirmed three DENV RNA-positive donors (sample numbers: 2401, 2402, and 2403). The confirmatory test results from NCCL were: all five NAT platforms consistently detected DENV RNA in the three samples; for serological tests, 2 samples (2402, 2403) were positive for NS1 antigen, while all three samples were negative for both IgG and IgM antibodies. DENV serotyping reagents identified DENV-2 in all cases, which were further confirmed as DENV-2 Genotype Ⅱ-Cosmopolitan by E gene sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that samples 2401 and 2402 clustered with Southeast Asian strains (Thailand/MZ636802.1, Laos/PQ775621.1), while sample 2403 closely matched a previously reported local Yunnan strain (PV544686.1). Conclusion: DENV-2 infection was detected among blood donors in Xishuangbanna during the rainy season, indicating concurrent risks of imported and local transmission. We recommend implementing pooled NAT screening for blood donors in high-risk areas during dengue epidemic seasons, along with strengthened laboratory quality control, to enhance blood safety.

Objective To analyze the survival status, distribution characteristics and social security of newly diagnosed occupational pneumoconiosis patients in Guizhou Province from 2006 to 2021. Methods The newly diagnosed pneumoconiosis cases reported in Guizhou Province from 2006 to 2021 were collected from the “Occupational Diseases and Hazards Monitoring Information System” under “National Health Insurance Disease Prevention and Control Information System”. Telephone or face-to-face surveys were conducted to investigate these patients. Results A total of 12 413 newly diagnosed pneumoconiosis patients were reported in Guizhou Province from 2006 to 2021, with 11 192 cases included in the follow-up, and 10 631 cases were followed-up successfully. According to the follow-up study, 10 565 cases (accounting for 99.4%) were survived, and 66 cases (accounting for 0.6%) died. The number of pneumoconiosis showed an increasing trend followed by a sharp decline from 2006 to 2021, reaching its peak in 2016. The main industry of the newly pneumoconiosis cases was concentrated in the mining industry (accounting for 90.6%). The top three regions with surviving cases in the follow-up were Bijie City, Zunyi City, and Qiannan Prefecture, accounting for 34.0%, 25.4% and 12.0%, respectively. The main types of pneumoconiosis were coal workers' pneumoconiosis and silicosis, accounting for 67.1% and 30.8%, respectively. Most cases were in the age group of 50 to <60 years old, accounting for 59.1%, and the majority of the workers had worked in dusty environments for 5 to <25 years, accounting for 91.5%. In terms of social security, about 89.5% of cases were in the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents which was the most popular social security. The employer's compensation rate was 67.7%, and the work-related injury insurance participation rate was 51.5%. Conclusion Pneumoconiosis cases in Guizhou Province exhibit significant regional disparities. It has a high concentration in the industry, a younger age profile, and limited social security coverage. It is necessary to strengthen the special management of dust and industry supervision in mining industry, intensify follow-up work for pneumoconiosis cases, reinforce the construction of pneumoconiosis rehabilitation station in key regions, and improve the quality of life of pneumoconiosis cases.

Objective To understand phthalic acid esters pollution of daily consumed food in Guangzhou City,and evaluate the hazard of phthalic acid esters exposure in residents dietary. Methods Detected the content of phthalic acid esters in 10 types of food by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy(GC-MS)methods .It combined with a survey on dietary nutrients intake of Guangzhou residents was conducted.Hazard index on the dietary exposure assessment of chemicals in food was applied. Results It showed that the highest levels of DBP,DEHP and DIBP,from the mixed diet samples in Guangzhou were 1.256,1.418,0.576 mg/kg respectively;and the exposure level of DBP,DEHP and DIBP were 2.431、5.981、2.408μg/kg.d ;HQ was respectively 0.243、0.125、0.025. HI was 0.393. Conclusion The dietary contamination of phthalic acid esters for Guangzhou was kept at a low level.But the pollution of 3 kinds of mixed samples such as meats,eggs,aquatic and products may be a certain risk of health that should attract more attention.

Objective:To detect the expression levels of miR-3074-5p and its target gene p27 in the placental tissues of pre-eclampsia (PE) patients, and to preliminarily explore the association of miR-3074-5p/p27 pathway in the pathogenesis of PE. Methods:From September 2017 to March 2018, 16 pregnant women with PE (PE group) and 9 normal pregnant women (control group) were enrolled in Obstetrics Department in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University. The placental expression levels of miR-3074-5p, p27, cyclin D1 (CCND1) and cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) were determined by quantitative PCR (qPCR), Western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analyses. The dual-luciferase reporter assay was applied to authenticate the directly targeted effect of miR-3074-5p on expression of p27 mRNA. The expression of p27 in the human extravillous trophoblast cell line HTR-8/SVneo was down-regulated by its specific shRNA, and the effects of down-regulated p27 expression on physiological activities of HTR-8/SVneo cells were detected. Results:Compared with control group, the expression levels of miR-3074-5p ( P=0.034) and CCND1 ( P=0.031) protein in the placenta of PE patients were significantly decreased, whereas the placental p27 ( P=0.010) protein expression was significantly increased in PE group. IHC analysis showed that, the signals of p27 and CCND1 proteins were dominantly detected in syncytiotrophoblast. The results of dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-3074-5p could inhibit the expression of p27 by directly bound to the 3'UTR of p27 mRNA. After the p27 expression was down-regulated, the proliferative and invasive activities of HTR-8/SVneo cells were significantly enhanced ( P=0.014, P=0.045). Conclusion:miR-3074-5p might participate in the regulation of physiological activities of extravillous trophoblast cells by its targeted inhibition on p27 expression, and the abnormally decreased miR-3074-5p in trophoblast cells might be associated with the pathogenesis of PE by promoting the expression of p27.
