Objective To observe the effect of deglycerolized red blood cells suspended in MAP on preservation and ex-plore the most effective preservation method.Methods Concentrated red blood cells were prepared by centrifuging 400 mL of whole blood on the third day after collection.40%compound glycerol solution was added using the ACP 215 automatic blood cell analyzer,and the resulting mixture was stored in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at-65℃for 30 days.After thawing and washing,it was equally separated into two bags.The control group received 0.9%sodium chloride solution,while the experimental group received MAP.Both groups were stored at 2-6℃.Hematological parameters,hemolysis inde-xes and cell metabolism indexes were measured on day 0,1,3,5,7 and 14 after storage.The quality changes of both groups were observed during the 14-day storage period.Results The quality of red blood cells in both groups was assessed through a panel of quality tests,including volume,hemoglobin content,free hemoglobin content,white blood cell residue,glycerin residue and sterility.These results met the Quality Requirements outlined in the"Quality Requirements of Whole Blood and Component Blood"(GB18469-2012),Hematocrit,red blood cell count,Hb recovery rate after washing and MCV meet the detection limit outlined in the"Expert Consensus on Quality Evaluation Indicators for Frozen Red Blood Cells",and the residual amount of platelets exceeds the detection limit(≤1%).There were no significant differences in RBC,Hct,MCV and hemoglobin between the two groups during the 14 day storage period.The level of free hemoglobin,hemolysis rate and K+value increased in both groups over time.Significant differences in free hemoglobin were found on day 3,5,7 and 14 between the two groups(P<0.05).Hemolysis rate was significantly different on days 3,5,7 and 14,while K+value was significantly different only on day 14(P<0.05).On day 14,the osmotic fragility of red blood cells was higher in the control group than in the experimental group(P<0.05);The ATP and pH values of both groups decreased as storage time in-creased,and significant differences in ATP and pH value were found on day 3,5,7 and on day 1,3,5,7 and 14,respec-tively(P<0.05).Conclusion Deglycerolized red blood cells suspended in MAP additive solution can extend the storage period of blood to 7 days.This study provides a reference for the formulation of relevant standards.

Objective To observe the clinical effect and safety of recombinant human interferon-α2b(rhIFN-α2b)combined with 5-aminolaevulinic acid photodynamic therapy(ALA-PDT)in the treatment of patients with cervical intraepithelial lesions and human papilloma virus(HPV)infection.Methods The clinical data of patients with cervical intraepithelial lesions and HPV infection were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into control group and treatment group according to cohort method.The control group was treated with rhIFN-α2b gel at posterior fornix,qd.On this basis,the treatment group was treated with ALA-PDT,namely applying 5％ALA temperature-sensitive gel prepared by 118 mg of ketone valerate hydrochloride powder for external use on vaginal surface,combined with photodynamic therapy,once a week.The clinical efficacy,time to recovery from clinical symptoms,recurrence rate,changes in cytokines[interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-8(IL-8)and interferon-γ(IFN-γ)]and immune function[T cell subsets CD3+,CD4+,CD8+and CD4+/CD8+],and safety were compared between the two groups.Results There were 98 cases in treatment group and 100 cases in control group.The total effective rates in treatment group and control group were 93.88％and 83.00％,with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The relief time of lower abdominal pain in treatment group and control group were(3.65±0.52)and(5.26±0.65)d;the time to recovery from abnormal vaginal discharge were(5.77±0.83)and(7.16±0.92)d;the time to recovery from irregular vaginal bleeding were(4.82±0.62)and(6.94±0.77)d;HPV clearance rates were 58.16％and 42.00％;IL-6 levels were(0.16±0.09)and(0.23±0.05)mg·L-1;IL-8 levels were(0.47±0.05)and(0.66±0.07)mg·L-1;IFN-γ levels were(10.07±0.98)and(7.24±0.65)ng·mL-1;CD3+were(71.06±8.29)％and(61.36±6.88)％;CD4+were(48.25±5.94)％and(42.25±5.13)％;CD8+were(20.37±2.42)％and(24.69±2.51)％;CD4+/CD8+were 2.11±0.27 and 1.36±0.16;the differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Recurrence rates in treatment group and control group were 5.10％and 14.00％,with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The total incidence of adverse drug reactions in treatment group and control group were 26.53％and 21.00％,without statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion The combined treatment of rhIFN-α2b and ALA-PDT is effective for patients with cervical intraepithelial lesions and HPV infection.It has obvious advantages in improving immunity,relieving inflammatory response and reducing recurrence rate,with good safety.

ObjectiveThe natural history of chronic HBV infection often involves a histologically defined immune tolerance state， and once such immune tolerance state is broken， antiviral therapy should be initiated immediately. This study aims to investigate the correlation between immune-mediated liver injury and virological indicators for HBV and precisely identify the patients with a histologically defined immune tolerance state. MethodsThis study was conducted among 577 HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B （CHB） patients with HBV DNA >2×10⁶ IU/mL who did not receive antiviral therapy in The Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital， Tianjin Second People’s Hospital， Shanghai Ruijin Hospital， and Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January 2010 to December 2022. Liver biopsy was performed to determine the extent of liver injury， and the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， and virological indicators were measured. The proportion of patients with a histologically defined immune tolerance state was analyzed based on the cut-off values of noninvasive indicators recommended in various guidelines， especially HBV load. In addition， a diagnostic model was established for the histologically defined immune tolerance state based on serum HBV DNA at the time when its correlation with liver immunopathological injury disappeared as the new threshold in combination with multiple indicators. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The Spearman method was used for correlation analysis. The binary Logistic regression analysis was used to establish a multivariate diagnostic model； the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC） was used to investigate the diagnostic efficiency of different models， and the Z test was used for comparison of AUC. ResultsAmong the patients with an immune tolerance state defined by the noninvasive indicators in the Chinese guidelines （2022 edition）， the EASL guidelines （2017 edition）， the AASLD guidelines （2018 edition）， and the APASL guidelines （2015 edition） for the prevention and treatment of CHB， the patients with a histologically defined immune tolerance state who met the definition in this article （HBV DNA>2×10⁶ IU/mL） accounted for 47.0%， 38.5%， 36.0%， and 44.6%， respectively， which did not exceed 50%. When the threshold of serum HBV DNA increased to >2×10⁸ IU/mL， although the correlation between immune-mediated liver injury and HBV DNA disappeared （r=-0.029， P=0.704）， the patients with a histologically defined immune tolerance state reached only 52.0%. In the cohort of 251 HBeAg-positive patients with serum HBV DNA >1×10⁸ IU/mL， there were significant differences in the levels of HBsAg， HBeAg， HBV DNA， ALT， and AST between the significant liver injury group with 140 children and the non-significant liver injury group with 111 patients （all P<0.05）， and the multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that AST， HBV DNA， and HBeAg were influencing factors for histologically defined immune tolerance state in patients （all P<0.05）. Based on the above indicators and related clinical data， a predictive model was established as logit（P）=1.424－0.028×AST， with an AUC of 0.730， an optimal cut-off value of 30.5 U/L， a sensitivity of 52.8%， and a specificity of 84.1%. A total of 238 adult patients with chronic HBV infection who underwent liver biopsy in Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province were enrolled as the validation cohort， and the analysis showed that the predictive model established in this study had a better efficiency than AST/ALT， FIB-4， and APRI， with an AUC of 0.698， 0.555， 0.518， and 0.373， respectively （all P<0.05）. ConclusionFor HBeAg-positive patients with chronic HBV infection and HBV DNA>2×10⁸ IU/mL， an AST level of >30.5 U/L might indicate the “breakdown” of histologically defined immune tolerance state.

The foveal avascular zone(FAZ)is the most sensitive region of the retina, which is interconnected by the macular capillary plexus. Its morphology can indirectly reflect the alterations of macular microcirculation. With strong repeatability and reliability, optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)can non-invasively visualize and quantify the FAZ. The great value of OCTA makes it an important supplemental examination tool in ophthalmology and other professions. The area and perimeter of FAZ have been demonstrated to be an effective clinical diagnostic indicator in high myopia, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and other ocular diseases. In recent years, the geometry of FAZ has also proven to have clinical value. The parameters describing the geometry of FAZ, such as circularity index, acircularity index and axial ratio, provide a new perspective for ocular disease research. The comprehensive investigation of the morphological characteristics of the FAZ is helpful to explore the pathological mechanism of the occurrence and development of ocular diseases, predict preclinical changes, make pathological stages of the disease precise, and provide a theoretical basis for monitoring the disease's progression and assessing patients' visual prognosis.

Objective Based on gender differences,this paper discusses the characteristics of facial color diagnosis in male and female patients with metaplastic chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG),and explores the pathological mechanism of different gender patients from the perspective of TCM pathogenesis,so as to provide personalized reference for TCM prevention and treatment of metaplastic CAG.Methods In this study,the complexion information of patients with chronic non atrophic gastritis(CNG)and CAG was collected by MT-BX-01 four-diagnostic instrument.The color colorimetric characteristics of male and female metaplastic CAG patients and CNG patients were analyzed by case-control study.Results In female patients,the L value and a value of liver region in CAG with mild intestinal metaplasia(IM)group,moderate and severe IM were significantly lower than those in CNG group(P<0.05).In male patients,the L value of spleen region in CAG with moderate and severe IM group was significantly higher than that in CNG group(P<0.05).Conclusion There is a certain gender difference in the facial color characteristics of patients with metaplastic CAG.The facial chromaticity value of female patients with metaplastic CAG changes most significantly in the liver area,while that of male patients mainly in the spleen area.It is suggested that the incidence of female metaplastic CAG is mostly related to liver,while that of male is mostly related to spleen,which provides a personalized method for clinical diagnosis and treatment of metaplastic CAG based on gender differences.

Objective: To explore the relationship between lifestyle and myopia and construct Nomogram model to predict myopia risk among primary school students in Tianjin, so as to provide a scientific basis for precision myopia prevention and control. Methods: From April to July of 2022, a census method was used to conduct vision testing and lifestyle related questionnaires among 373 180 primary school students in 15 districts of Tianjin. The relationship between lifestyle and myopia was analyzed by the multivariate Logistic regression, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed to predict myopia risk. Results: The detection rate of myopia among primary school students in Tianjin was 37.6%. The results of the multivariate Logistic regression showed that daily outdoor activity time of 1-2 h ( OR =0.94) and >2 h ( OR =0.84), time of using daily electronic devices of >2 h ( OR =1.03), daily paper materials reading and writing time of 1-2 h ( OR =1.02) and >2 h ( OR =1.09), weekly fresh vegetable intake of 2-6 times ( OR =0.93) and ≥7 times ( OR =0.88) were statistically correlated with myopia ( P <0.01). The Nomogram prediction model showed that the factors associated with myopia were grade, family history of myopia, gender, daily outdoor activity time, weekly frequency of fresh vegetable intake, daily paper materials reading and writing time, and time of using daily electronic devices time. Conclusions The lifestyle of primary school students in Tianjin is associated with myopia. The constructed nomogram model could provide a scientific basis for identifying key intervention populations for myopia prevention and taking targeted prevention and control measures.
