To analyze the prevalence, drug resistance and whole genome characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) in respiratory throat swab samples of hospitalized children with pneumonia in Suzhou City from 2023 to 2024. Throat swab samples of hospitalized children aged 0-14 years old with pneumonia in Suzhou were collected from September 2023 to September 2024. Real-time fluorenscence quantitative PCR technology was used to detect MP nucleic acid. The results showed that the positive rate of MP in 3 235 samples was 22.44% (726/3 235), with a rate of 55.00% in week 47 of 2023. The positive rate of MP increased with age ( χ2=45.842, P<0.001). The study selected MP nucleic acid test positive samples from week 20 (5.13-5.19) to week 23 (6.3-6.9) of 2024 for isolation, culture and resistance phenotype detection. About 31 MP strains were successfully isolated and cultured, all of which were resistant to macrolides. The next-generation sequencing technology and nanopore sequencing technology were used for genome sequencing. All 31 strains carried the A2063G mutation, with the main prevalent genotype being the P1-1, and the main mlST type being the ST3. Despite the overall genomic similarity between strains being over 99%, there were significant differences between the P1-1 and P1-2 strains in the P1 gene region. In summary, from 2023 to 2024, the main MP type prevalent in Suzhou City is the P1-1 genotype. All isolated MP strains carry an A2063G resistance site mutation and are resistant to macrolides, requiring continuous monitoring and further research.

AIM To investigate the effects of rice wine type and wine processing method on chemical constituents and anti-coagulation effect of Angelicae sinensis Radix.METHODS Wine-washed products and wine-stir-fried products were prepared by different types and ages of rice wine,respectively,after which HPLC was adopted in the content determination of tryptophan,chlorogenic acid,vanillic acid,phthalic acid,ferulic acid,senkyunolide I,senkyunolide H,coniferyl ferulate and ligustilide,and PT,APTT,TT were detected in rabbit plasma.RESULTS Phenolic acids and volatile constituents demonstrated lower contents in the wine-stir-fried products than those in the raw product(P＜0.05),while those in the wine-washed products displayed no obvious changes(except for senkyunolide I)(P＞0.05).The contents of volatile constituents in the wine-washed products were higher than those in the wine-stir-fried products(P＜0.05).After being processed with dry rice wine,various constituents exhibited increased contents as compared with those after being processed with sweet rice wine(P＜0.05).Compared with the raw product,prolonged PT,APTT and TT were observable in the processed products prepared by 3-year semi-dry rice wine(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION The optimal rice wine type is determined to be 3-year semi-dry.Wine-washed Angelicae sinensis Radix shows high contents of ferulic acid and volatile constituents,whose activating blood and resolving stasis effect may be stronger.

In this study,an ultraviolet(UV)/fluorescence dual-modal sensor was constructed by combining the catalytic properties of aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH)with the fluorescence inner filter effect of bovine serum albumin(BSA),realizing highly sensitive and highly selective detection of acetaldehyde in food.Acetaldehyde could react with oxidized coenzyme I(NAD+)to generate acetic acid and reduced coenzyme I(NADH)under catalytic condition by ALDH,and a quantitative relationship between acetaldehyde concentration and UV signal for UV detection based on the characteristic UV absorption peak of NADH at 340 nm was established.Meanwhile,an acetaldehyde detection channel based on fluorescence signal changes was built on the basis of the property that the fluorescence emission of BSA(as a fluorescent indicator)at 340 nm could be effectively quenched by the generated NADH,thus forming a″one-reaction dual-signal″detection mode.The experimental results showed that the acetaldehyde concentration in the range of 0.01?5.0 mg/L had a good linear relationship with both UV and fluorescence signals,and the limit of detection(LOD)was 0.003 mg/L for the UV mode and 0.005 mg/L for the fluorescence mode,and no significant fluctuations were observed when 50-fold concentrations of acetaldehyde analogs and common interfering substances were added.When the dual-modal sensor was applied to detection of acetaldehyde in food samples such as yogurt and wine,the relative error between its quantitative results and those of high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)was less than±4.0%.The dual-modal cross-validation strategy could improve the detection reliability through signal mutual verification,providing an innovative solution for the rapid detection of acetaldehyde contamination in food.

Objective To propose a method for mass spectrometry imaging(MSI)super-resolution reconstruction based on a spatially multi-level and self-supervised deep learning network(SMSDL-Net),aiming to improve the resolution of mass spectrometry images.Methods SMSDL-Net firstly registered histological and mass spectrometry images using a nonlinear transformation.Then a multi-branch Vision Transformer(ViT)was utilized to extract hierarchical features of high-resolution histological images in a self-supervised manner.These features were subsequently combined with the paired low-resolution mass spectrometry data to construct a regression network,which could realize the prediction of high-resolution mass spectrometry information.To validate the performance of the proposed method,the results by the method were compared with those of the traditional bicubic interpolation(BI)methods based on interpolation processing and the deepFERE method based on convolution neural network(CNN)for super-resolution reconstruction of magnesium elemental image of metal mass spectrometry of human liver cancer samples,and the method was also applied to a mouse renal adenocarcinoma metabolite mass spectrometry imaging dataset.Results Compared with the traditional BI methods and the deepFERE multimodal method,the method proposed demonstrated the lowest root mean square error(RMSE=0.015),the highest structural similarity index measure(SSIM=0.84)and the highest R-squared value(R2=0.853)in reconstructing mass spectrometry images.The effectiveness of the method and its potential for precise tissue-specific distinction were validated using the mouse renal adenocarcinoma metabolite MSI dataset.Conclusion Compared with traditional single-modal and pixel-wise regression deep learning methods,the method proposed enhances the quality of high-resolution mass spectrometry image reconstruction and can serve as a novel method for super-resolution reconstruction in the field of mass spectrometry imaging.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(4):1-8]

Objective:To analyze the incidence of abnormal hemoglobin(Hb)in neonates in Guangzhou area,as well as the results of quantitative analysis of Hb in neonatal umbilical cord blood and genetic diagnosis of thalassemia in neonates with abnormal Hb;And to explore the hematological phenotypes and clinical characteristics of neonates with abnormal Hb and their parents,providing a reference for eugenics and childcare.Methods:650 neonates born at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital who underwent Hb electrophoresis were included in this study.The results of routine blood test of umbilical cord blood,Hb electrophoresis and α-,β-thalassemia gene detection of the neonates were collected.The genotype distribution of thalassemia in the neonates was analyzed.Additionally,the abnormal Hb content of α and β variants was studied.Furthermore,the differences in hematological parameters between abnormal Hb neonates and normal neonates and α-thalassemia neonates,as well as between the parents of abnormal Hb neonates and normal adults were compared.Results:Among the 650 neonates,332(51.08％)were diagnosed with thalassemia,including 235 cases of α-thalassemia(36.15％),79 cases of β-thalassemia(12.15％),and 18 cases of compound α β-thalassemia(2.77％).Among all the α-thalassemia genotypes,the most prevalent one was--SEA/α α(48.94％),followed by-α3.7/α α(20.00％),-α42/α α(11.06％),and α α CS/α α(8.94％).The four most common genotypes of β-thalassemia were β CD41-42(32.91％),βIVS-Ⅱ-654(26.58％),β-28(21.52％),and β E(10.13％),respectively.275 cases of abnormal bands were found in Hb electrophoresis of umbilical cord blood,with a detection rate of 42.31％.The abnormal Hb content ofα-variant in the neonates was significantly higher than that of β-variant(P＜0.001).The levels of Hb,MCV,MCH,Hb A,and Hb F in neonates with abnormal Hb were lower than those in normal neonates,while the RDW-CV was higher than that in normal neonates,with statistical significantce(P＜0.05).The levels of RBC and Hb A in neonates with abnormal Hb were lower than those in neonates with α-thalassemia,while the level of MCH was higher than that in neonats withα-thalassemia,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The levels of Hb,MCV,MCH,and Hb A in parents of neonates with abnormal Hb were lower than those in normal adults,while the RDW-CV was higher than that in normal adults,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The abnormal Hb content of α-variant in the neonates is significantly higher than that of β-variant in the neonates in Guangzhou,which can help to presume whether it isα chain or β chain based on the abnormal Hb content,providing a reference for globin gene sequencing.Meanwhile,analysis of various hematological screening-related indicators in neonates in the early stage is beneficial for early warning of the occurrence of abnormal Hb combined with thalassemia,reducing missed diagnoses to a certain extent.
