[Objective] To analyze the influencing factors of repeat blood donor lapsing using a zero-inflated poisson regression model (ZIP). [Methods] The blood donation behavior of 12 498 whole blood donors from 2020 was tracked until December 31, 2023. The factors influencing the frequency of blood donations in a given year was analyzed using ZIP, and donors with 0 blood donation in that year were considered to have lapsed. The changes in relevant influencing factors associated with each blood donation were measured and modeled for analysis. [Results] The zero-inflated part of ZIP showed that the risk of lapsing of male blood donors was 2.24 times that of female blood donors (OR 95% CI:1.864-2.696, P<0.001); the risk of lapsing of the 35-44 age group and over 45 age group was respectively 40% (OR 95% CI:0.455-0.790, P<0.001) and 61%(OR 95% CI:0.268-0.578, P<0.001) lower than that of the under 25 age group; the risk of lapsing for those who have donated blood twice and ≥3 times was respectively 50% (OR 95% CI:0.405-0.609, P<0.001) and 81% (OR 95% CI:0.154-0.225, P<0.001) lower than that of first-time donors; the risk of lapsing of those with junior high or high school education was 1.2 times that of those with a college degree or higher (OR 95% CI:1.033-1.384, P<0.05); the risk of lapsing for the divorced group was 2.02 times that of the married group (OR 95% CI:1.445-2.820, P<0.001); the risk of lapsing for those with an income (Yuan) of 10 000 to 50 000, 50 000 to 100 000 and more than 100 000 was respectively 0.67 (OR 95% CI:0.552-0.818, P<0.001), 0.72 (OR 95% CI:0.591-0.884, P=0.002) and 0.67 (OR 95% CI:0.535-0.834, P<0.001) times that of those with an income (Yuan) of less than 10 000. The results of the Poisson part are consistent with the results of the zero-inflated part in terms of age and education level. [Conclusion] Blood donor lapsing is overall related to factors such as gender, age, donation frequency, education, marital status and family income. It's essential to care for those blood donors prone to lapse to retain more regular blood donors.

Objective:To develop genetic testing quality control material which has good biological compatibility that can simulate the real sample properties.Methods:Study of the quality control material. The quality control matertial was prepared by embedding the cells and DNA containing specific gene mutations in a biological matrix formed by cross-linking γ-polyglutamic acid and gelatin, followed by formalin fixation and paraffin embedding. Fourier infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to analyze the morphology and structure of the quality control material. The repeatability and homogeneity were verified by detecting the DNA extraction amount and mutation frequency at different parts of the quality control material. The quality control material was stored at 25 ℃ for 16 weeks, and the stability was verified by detecting the DNA extraction amount, mutation frequency and DNA fragment distribution.Results:The results of Fourier infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated that the quality control material prepared in this study was formed by cross-linking and had a dense three-dimensional framework structure. The amount of DNA extraction and mutation frequency from different parts of the quality control material varied within a small range ( CV<10%). After storage at 25 ℃ for 16 weeks, the DNA extraction amount and mutation frequency of the quality control material varied within a small range ( CV<5%), and the distribution range of the DNA fragments did not show significant change compared to the day of preparation of the quality control material. Conclusion:This study successfully prepared a genetic testing quality control material based on cross-linked biological matrix, which exhibited good repeatability, homogeneity and stability.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of the bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRD) regimen combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and renal impairment, analyze treatment efficacy and renal responses stratified based on renal dysfunction severity, and explore the prognostic significance of early renal response and its affecting factors.Methods:This retrospective study, conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, categorized 316 patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) from August 2018 to October 2022 based on renal function for analysis of clinical characteristics, treatment response, and prognosis. Continuous variables were compared using t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, categorical variables utilizing Chi-square tests, survival outcomes employing Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank tests, and renal response predictors with logistic regression.Results:Patients were stratified based on baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) : normal [≥90 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1, n=160], mild [≥60 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1 to <90 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1, n=55], moderate [≥30 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1 to <60 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1, n=39], and severe impairment [<30 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1, n=62]. Moderate and severe renal impairment correlated with advanced International Staging System/Revised International Staging System classification, lower hemoglobin levels, frailty, and higher light-chain/IgD subtype prevalence ( P<0.05). Despite younger age ( P=0.001) and higher transplant rates ( P=0.041) in severe cases, overall response rates ( ORR: 93.7% ; ≥VGPR: 82.9% ) were comparable across groups ( P>0.05). Among 24 dialysis-dependent patients at diagnosis, 11 (45.8% ) achieved dialysis independence after induction [median: 3.0 (0.5–4.0) months], including 10 undergoing auto-HSCT. In 89 evaluable patients [baseline eGFR <50 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1], renal ORR (RORR) was 70.8% [rapid complete response: 31.5% ; rapid partial response: 11.2% ; rapid minimal response (RMR) : 28.1% ]. Renal response predicted better survival (overall survival: HR=0.36, 95% CI: 0.13–0.99, P=0.049). Moderate-to-severe renal impairment was associated with increased transplant-related adverse events and delayed engraftment ( P<0.05) ; however, auto-HSCT significantly improved outcomes after 33.5-month median follow-up (range: 2–65 months). Multivariate analysis identified 1q21+ ( OR=3.58, 95% CI: 1.17–11.02, P=0.026) and light-chain subtype ( OR=2.86, 95% CI: 1.08–7.69, P=0.036) as independent predictors of poor renal response. Conclusion:VRD regimen plus auto-HSCT demonstrates robust efficacy in NDMM, including patients with renal impairment, with a 70.8% RORR and manageable toxicity. Achieving ≥RMR correlates with superior prognosis, whereas 1q21+ and light-chain subtype independently predict inferior renal response.

Objective:To investigate the sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody and influencing factors in cross-border couples in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture(Dehong).Methods:A cohort design was used to recruit HIV-negative people in cross-border couples in Dehong in 2017. Follow-up was conducted in 2023, and questionnaire survey and HIV test were carried out to calculate the sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influence factors for HIV infections.Results:A total of 36 278 HIV-negative persons in cross-border couples were included in the 2017 baseline survey, of whom 22 438 (61.9%) were tested in follow-up in 2023. The sero-conversion rate between 2017 and 2023 was 0.51% (115/22 438). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that length of marriage <6 years, Jingpo ethnic group, education level of primary school or below, drug use, illegal marriage and HIV infected spouse were the risk factors of HIV infection in male spouses, and length of marriage <6 years, Jingpo ethnic group, illegal marriage and HIV infected spouse were the risk factors in female spouses.Conclusions:The sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody in cross-border couples in Dehong was relatively high. HIV infection was mainly caused by secondary transmission in the couples, and men might also be infected through drug use. It is necessary to strengthen the registration and management of cross-border couples, especially the couples with discordant HIV infection status, and the intervention in drug users to reduce the risk for secondary transmission of HIV in the cross-border couples.

Bilateral tubal pregnancy is a rare ectopic pregnancy that occurs in both fallopian tubes. In order to explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment methods, pathological analysis, and treatment outcomes of the disease, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 9 cases of bilateral tubal pregnancy admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 2003 to December 2023. All cases were confirmed as bilateral tubal pregnancy by preoperative ultrasound, and all with a history of embryo transfer, which pregnancy sites distributed in the ampulla and interstitial regions of the fallopian tubes. The treatment method was bilateral salpingectomy. After treatment, there were no cases of secondary surgery, and one case successfully gave birth. In summary, as a rare and atypical type of ectopic pregnancy, bilateral tubal pregnancy should be detected and diagnosed early. Personalized treatment plans should be developed based on the patient's condition and needs. After treatment, changes in blood β-human chorionic gonadotropin should be monitored strictly, and auxiliary examination methods such as Doppler ultrasound should be used to alert to the occurrence of persistent ectopic pregnancy and even trophoblastic diseases

Objective:To analyze the changes and structural variations in hospitalization costs for patients with lung malignancies after the implementation of diagnosis-intervention packet (DIP) payment system, and to evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:Data from the first page of medical records and hospitalization cost data from the hospital information system of a tertiary general hospital in Henan Province were extracted for patients diagnosed with lung malignancies from 2020 to 2023. The data were divided into pre-implementation group (2020—2021) and post-implementation group (2022—2023) based on the implementation time of DIP. Chi-square test, t test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to analyze the differences in basic characteristics and hospitalization costs of patients with lung malignancies before and after the implementation of DIP. Grey relational analysis was employed to examine the internal associations between total hospitalization costs and various cost components. Structural variation analysis was used to assess the changes in the structure of hospitalization costs after the implementation of DIP. Results:A total of 14 587 hospitalized patients with lung malignancies were included, with 6 807 cases in the pre-implementation group and 7 780 cases in the post-implementation group. The average length of hospital stay decreased from (13.17±6.74) days before implementation to (12.02±6.49) days after implementation ( P<0.05). The proportion of level-four surgeries increased from 46.4% to 57.0% ( P<0.05). The average hospitalization cost per patient with lung malignancies decreased from 56 952 yuan before DIP implementation to 55 560 yuan after implementation ( P<0.05). For patients with lung malignancies diagnosed as C34.1, C34.2, C34.3, and C34.8, the top four cost components most strongly associated with total hospitalization costs were treatment costs, material costs, comprehensive medical service costs, and diagnostic costs, with correlation coefficients all>0.80. For patients with C34.9, the top four cost components most strongly associated with total hospitalization costs were treatment costs, comprehensive medical service costs, diagnostic costs, and Western medicine costs, with correlation coefficients>0.95. For patients diagnosed as C34.1, C34.2, C34.3, and C34.9, diagnostic costs, Western medicine costs, and material costs contributed significantly to the structural variation of hospitalization costs, with contribution rate of structure variation all exceeding 75%, among which Western medicine costs and material costs showed negative variation. For patients diagnosed as C34.8, treatment costs, Western medicine costs, and material costs contributed significantly to the structural variation of hospitalization costs, with contribution rate of structure variation all exceeding 80%, among which Western medicine costs showed negative variation. Conclusions:The implementation of DIP reduced the hospitalization costs for patients with lung malignancies, optimized the structure of hospitalization costs, improved the efficiency of medical services, and promoted the rational allocation of medical resources.
