Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) in Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2023, so as to provide the reference for strengthening SFTS prevention and control. Methods: Data on laboratory-confirmed SFTS cases in Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2023 were collected through the Infectious Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Meteorological data, geographic environment and socioeconomic factors during the same period were collected from the fifth-generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Geospatial Data Cloud, and Zhejiang Statistical Yearbook, respectively. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of SFTS from 2019 to 2023, and a Bayesian spatio-temporal model was constructed to analyze the influencing factors of SFTS incidence. Results: A total of 578 SFTS cases were reported in Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2023, with an annual average incidence of 0.23/105. The peak period was from May to July, accounting for 52.60%. There were 309 males and 269 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.15∶1. The cases were mainly aged 50-<80 years, farmers, and in rural areas, accounting for 82.53%, 77.34%, and 75.43%, respectively. Taizhou City and Shaoxing City reported more SFTS cases, while Shaoxing City and Zhoushan City had higher annual average incidences of SFTS. The Bayesian spatio-temporal interaction model showed good goodness of fit. The results showed that mean temperature (RR=1.626, 95%CI: 1.111-2.378) and mean wind speed (RR=1.814, 95%CI: 1.321-2.492) were positively correlated with SFTS risk, while altitude (RR=0.432, 95%CI: 0.230-0.829) and population density (RR=0.443, 95%CI: 0.207-0.964) were negatively correlated with SFTS risk. Conclusions SFTS in Zhejiang Province peaks from May to July. Middle-aged and elderly people and farmers are high-risk populations. Taizhou City, Shaoxing City, and Zhoushan City are high-incidence areas. Mean temperature, mean wind speed, altitude, and population density can all affect the risk of SFTS incidence.

Objective: To investigate the effects of different storage temperatures and durations on the activities of coagulation factor Ⅷ (Factor Ⅷ, FⅧ) and coagulation factor Ⅸ (Factor Ⅸ, FⅨ) after whole blood collection, so as to provide data support for the optimal storage conditions. Methods: A total of 16 mL of whole blood was collected from each of the 20 healthy volunteers at our blood center and aliquoted into 8 sodium citrate anticoagulant tubes. Two tubes were immediately centrifuged for the measurement of FⅧ and FⅨ activity levels. The remaining 6 tubes of whole blood were respectively stored under room temperature and low-temperature conditions. At 2, 4, and 6 h, the whole blood samples were centrifuged and analyzed for FⅧ and FⅨ activity levels. The mean values of the two immediately tested tubes were used as the control group, while other tubes were designated as the experimental groups for comparison. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0. Results: The activity of FⅧ in whole blood remained stable after 4 hours of storage at both room temperature and low temperature (116.53±25.95 vs 125.22±27.33, 109.77±23.23 vs 125.22±27.33) (P>0.05 for both). However, by 6 hours, FⅧ activity showed a statistically significant decline compared to the control group (108.65±22.92 vs 125.22±27.33, 100.46±20.19 vs 125.22±27.33) (P<0.05 for both), though the room temperature group results were closer to the control values. The activity of FⅨ in whole blood remained stable after 6 hours of storage under both conditions (97.14±19.48 vs 96.76±19.67, 97.10±17.45 vs 96.76±19.6) (P>0.05 for all comparisons). Conclusion: For whole blood samples after collection, storage at either room temperature or low temperature for up to 4 hours does not compromise the accuracy of test results. When stored for 6 hours, FⅨ activity remains stable, whereas FⅧ activity decreases significantly. Notably, FⅧ activity demonstrates better stability at room temperature than under low-temperature conditions within the 6-hour storage.

Objective: To study the correlation between activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) mixing test results and the inhibitor titers in hemophilia A inhibitor-positive patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 41 patients with severe hemophilia A and inhibitors (and negative for lupus anticoagulant) were included from the hemophilia clinic of Shandong Blood Center from February 2022 to February 2024. All patients underwent APTT mixing test. The Rosner's index (RI, including the immediate RI and the RI after 2-hour water bath incubation [water bath 2h RI]), the time-dependent difference (Δ value), and the corrected percentage were calculated based on results of APTT mixing test. The median (interquartile range) of the corresponding indexes were calculated, and the ROC curves for identification of high inhibitor titers using the four indexes (the immediate RI, the water bath 2h RI, the Δ value, and the corrected percentage) were plotted, The correlations between APTT mixing test and inhibitor titers for coagulation factor Ⅷ (Factor Ⅷ, FⅧ) were investigated. Results: The median (lower quartile, upper quartile) of immediate RI, water bath 2h RI, Δ-value and corrected percentage for FⅧ inhibitor positive patients were 11.0 (5.4, 29.3)%, 45.0 (25.7, 75.0)%, 26.2 (7.6, 41.8) s, and 82.2 (58.5, 91.6)%, respectively. The median (lower quartile, upper quartile) of the immediate RI, water bath 2h RI, Δ-value and corrected percentage were 25.2 (13.0, 37.5)%, 64.1 (44.6, 72.6)%, 38.0 (14.3, 38.3) s, and 66.5 (50.1, 82.1)% for the high-titer inhibitor group, and 5.2 (4.2, 9.4)%, 17.9 (8.8, 28.0)%, 13.0 (7.6, 25.4) s, and 92.3 (88.0, 94.3)% for the low-titer inhibitor group. The AUCs of the ROC curves for discrimination between high and low titer inhibitor were: 0.9105 for immediate RI, 0.9118 for water bath 2h RI, 0.8873 for correcter percentage, and 0.6532 for Δ-value. Conclusion: High-titer inhibitors can be highly suspected in hemophiliac patients with an immediate RI >10% and a water bath 2h RI >45%, and the presence of low-titer inhibitors is suspected in patients with a 4-second < immediate RI <10% and a 13% < water bath 2h RI <45%.

OBJECTIVE To study the mechanism of action of herb pair of Angelica sinensis-Poria cocos in intervening in allergic rhinitis. METHODS The core targets of herb pair of A. sinensis-P. cocos in intervening in allergic rhinitis were predicted through network pharmacology. Allergic rhinitis model of rats was established by intraperitoneal injection of aluminum hydroxide and ovalbumin mixture， and the rats were randomly divided into model group， loratadine group （positive control group， 0.9 mg/kg）， and low-， medium-， high-dose groups of herb pair of A. sinensis-P. cocos （3， 6 and 12 g/kg）， with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 healthy rats were used as the normal group. Each group of rats was intragastrically administered the corresponding liquid or normal saline once a day for 30 consecutive days. After the last administration， the behavioral scores of each group of rats were calculated， the levels of immunoglobulin E （IgE）， histamine， interleukin-4 （IL-4） in serum， and the protein expression levels of IL-6， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 （PTGS2） in nasal mucosa tissue were detected. The pathological morphology changes of nasal mucosa tissue were observed. RESULTS Network pharmacology analysis revealed that IL-6， TNF and PTGS2 might play a key role in the intervention of allergic rhinitis by herb pair of A. sinensis-P. cocos， and the IL-17 and TNF signaling pathways might be the typical inflammatory signaling pathways intervened by herb pair of A. sinensis-P. cocos in allergic rhinitis. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the model group， the behavioral score， the levels of IgE， histamine and IL-4， and the protein expressions of IL-6， TNF-α and PTGS2 in each administration group were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）， and there was a dose-dependent relationship with the herb pair of A. sinensis-P. cocos （P＜ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The herb pair of A. sinensis-P. cocos can effectively alleviate the symptoms of rats with allergic rhinitis， the mechanism of which may be related to the inhibition of the expressions of IL-6， TNF-α and PTGS2.

OBJECTIVE To acquire the real-world incidence of ceftazidime-avibactam sodium(CAZ)-related ad-verse reactions of blood system among a large sample of drug medication patients based on the active monitoring system so as to provide reference for safe clinical use of drugs.METHOD With the help of'Adverse Drug Event Active Surveillance and Assessment System-Ⅱ'(ADE-ASAS-Ⅱ),the use of CAZ of the patients who were hospi-talized in Chinese PLA General Hospital from Jan.1,2020 to Dec.31,2023 were retrospectively and automatical-ly monitored,the patients who were alarmed by system were evaluated by two persons,the incidence rates of CAZ-related thrombocytopenia,hemoglobin decreased and leucopenia were calculated,and the related influencing factors were analyzed.RESULTS Among the 278 case-times(191 cases)of patients who were treated with drugs and were enrolled in the study,there were 3(1.08％)case-times of thrombocytopenia,8(2.88％)case-times of hemoglobin decreased and 19(6.83％)case-times of leucopenia;the total incidence of adverse reactions of blood system was 10.79％.Logistic regression analysis showed that age and duration of drug administration were the in-fluencing factors for the CAZ-related adverse reactions of blood system.CONCLUSIONS It is common for the CAZ-related adverse reactions of blood system.The middle-aged and elderly patients who take drug therapy for a long time period are more likely to have the blood system-related adverse reactions.It is necessary to focus on the monitoring of renal function of the patients and adjust the dosage of administration in a timely manner so as to re-duce the incidence of adverse reactions of the blood system.

Objective To explore the long-term efficacy of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation(PPVI)and the durability of the domestic self-expanding Venus P valve.Methods A total of 8 patients with post-surgical right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT)dysfunction,who were admitted to hospital from October 2014 to July 2016 and deemed anatomically suitable for PPVI with self-expanding valve,were included prospectively.Clinical,imaging,procedural and follow-up data were analyzed.The survival rates,perioperative and long-term complication rates,long-term efficacy of PPVI,and long-term function of Venus P in 8 patients were evaluated.The immediate procedural results were evaluated by clinical implant success rate,which is defined as successful valve implantation with echocardiography-assessed pulmonary regurgitation＜moderate and peak trans-pulmonary pressure gradient＜40 mmHg.Results A total of 8 patients were included,with 7 females,aged 14 to 36 years.The initial diagnosis included post-surgical Tetralogy of Fallot(5 cases),post-surgical Trilogy of Fallot(1 case),post-surgical Quadricuspid pulmonary valve stenosis(1 case)and post-surgical Double-Outlet Right Ventricle(1 case).The indications of PPVI included RVOT-pulmonary obstruction and regurgitation(1 case)and isolated regurgitation(7 cases).Clinical implant success was achieved in all of the 8 patients with firmly fixed valve,and there were no such complications as valve detachment,displacement or stent fracture.All patients experienced significant symptom relief after the procedure.The right ventricular end-diastolic volume index(RVEDVi)measured by CMR 6 months after PPVI showed a significant decrease compared to preprocedural values[(89.99±13.85)ml/m2 vs.(144.93±11.28)ml/m2,P=0.001].Postoperative pulmonary regurgitation were significantly improved or disappeared in all patients,and there was no statistically significant difference in the average peak pressure gradient measured by echocardiogram between preoperative and the latest follow-up[(23.25±8.39)mmHg vs.(18.75±6.28)mmHg,P=0.210].Over an average follow-up period of(9.25±0.71)years,1 case of infective endocarditis occurred 5 years after PPVI.During the follow-up,no death,deterioration of heart failure,malignant arrhythmia or other serious complications were observed.All patients completed 8-year follow-up,and 3 completed 10-year follow-up.All patients were graded as NYHA functional class one at the latest follow-up.Conclusions PPVI using the domestically produced self-expanding Venus P is safe and feasible for the treatment of patients with post-surgical RVOT dysfunction and suitable anatomy.Our study confirms the long-term efficacy and durability of Venus P from multiple perspectives,and no severe stent fracture occurred without pre-stent implantation in the native RVOT.

OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of measures dominated by intensifying link quality on prevention and control of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)among general ICU patients.METHODS The conventional intervention measures were taken from Jan.2016 to Oct.2020,which was assigned as the pre-inter-vention period;the intervention measures dominated by enhancement of link quality were taken for the general ICU patients(the study group)from Nov.2020 to Oct.2021,which was set as the intervention period,the inter-vention measures were taken for the neurosurgery ICU patients and the surgery ICU patients(the control group).A two-group interrupted time series of a quasi-experimental study was analyzed,and whether or not the intervention measures could reduce the incidence of CRKP hospital-associated infection among the general ICU patients was evaluated.RESULTS A total of 23 713 case-times of patients from three ICU wards were enrolled in the study.The incidence of CRKP hospital-associated infection among the general ICU patients was 4.49 cases per thousand patient-days during intervention period,3.71 cases per thousand patient-days during pre-intervention pe-riod,and there was no significant difference(u=-1.412,P=0.079);it was lower than 7.06 cases per thousand patient-days during nearly one year before the intervention period(from Nov.2019 to Oct.2020),and there was significant difference(u=3.128,P=0.002).The result of analysis of the interrupted time series showed that there was significant difference in the slope change between the study group and the control group after the inter-vention(P=0.035),indicating that the intervention measures could reduce the incidence of CRKP hospital-associ-ated infection in the study group,and there was significant difference in the changing trend between the study group and the control group.CONCLUSIONS The prevention and control measures for CRKP dominated by the link quality management can effectively reduce the incidence of CRKP hospital-associated infection among the gen-eral ICU patients.The prevention and control strategies may provide reference for prevention and control of CRKP in ICUs of other medical institutions.

Objective:To examine the clinical effects of the SCERTS model-based peer-mediated intervention (PMI) on the social skills of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and provide new approaches to the rehabilitation treatment of ASD children.Methods:A randomized controlled study.A total of 120 children with mild-to-moderate ASD diagnosed Xi′an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Encephalopathy between April 2023 and April 2024 were selected.They were assigned to either the experimental or control group using the random number table method, with 60 cases in each group.The experimental group was treated with the SCERTS model-based PMI, whereas the control group underwent conventional rehabilitation training, comprising cognitive, language and behavioural interventions, acupuncture and other techniques.Changes in Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), Autism Social Skills Scale (ASSS) and Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) scores were observed in the 2 groups of children before and after treatment.The statistical analyses were performed using a paired-samples t-test for intra-group comparisons and an independent-samples t-test for inter-group comparisons. Results:Following 12 weeks of intervention, the SRS and ATEC scores decreased while the ASSS scores increased after treatment in both groups.The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).The SRS [(83.25±14.56) points] and ATEC [(79.41±15.36) points] of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group [SRS(89.80±12.69) points, ATEC(85.95±16.13) points].The ASSS score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group [(112.77±22.42) points vs.(103.80±24.13) points] ( t=2.627, 2.274, -2.109; all P<0.05). Conclusions:The SCERTS model-based PMI is an efficacious approach for the improvement of social skills in ASD children, and thus merits further investigation and application.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for mortality and bleeding complications in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)treated patients and to evaluate the impact of thrombocytopenia severity on the prognosis of ECMO therapy.Methods A total of 153 patients who received ECMO treatment at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2013 and September 2024 were en-rolled in this study.The patients were divided into death group(n=97)and recovery group(n=56)based on their final outcomes.Additionally,the patients were categorized into bleeding group(n=104)and non-bleeding group(n=49)based on the occurrence of bleeding complications during ECMO.Clinical baseline characteristics and extreme laboratory values during ECMO were compared be-tween groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for mortality and bleeding.The patients were further divided,based on the initial platelet(PLT)values on the day of catheter placement and the lowest platelet count during ECMO,into normal group(PLT≥ 100× 109/L),moderate reduction group[PLT=(50～99)× 109/L],and severe reduction group(PLT＜50× 109/L).Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare survival rates among these groups.The patients in the moderate and severe reduction groups were further divided into a platelet transfusion group and a non-transfusion group,and the outcomes and complication rates were com-pared.Results The recovery group had a higher proportion of myocarditis,higher minimum values of PLT,Hb,and Fib,and higher initial PLT values,while the maximum values of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH),total bilirubin(T-Bil),prothrombin time(PT),and procalcitonin(PCT)were lower(all P＜0.05)with significant differences.Logistic regression showed that age and maximum PCT were independent risk factors for mortality(OR=1.025 and 1.015 respectively,all P＜0.05).The bleeding group had longer ECMO dura-tions,more plasma transfusions,lower minimum Hb values,and higher maximum values of WBC,neutrophils(Neu),and APTT(all P＜0.05)with statistical differences.The minimum PLT value,maximum WBC value,and maximum APTT value were independent risk factors for bleeding complications(OR=0.986,1.062,and 1.004 respectively,all P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the patients in the severe reduction group had lower survival rates,regardless of whether the grouping was based on initial or minimum platelet counts(all P＜0.05).Platelet transfusion improved the mortality in the severe reduction group(P＜0.05)but had no effect on the moderate reduction group.Conclusion Age and peak value of PCT are the risk factors for mortality in ECMO patients,while mini-mum PLT count,peak value of WBC and APTT are the risk factors for bleeding complications.Early intervention for infection and in-flammation during ECMO may improve the outcome of patients.Severe thrombocytopenia during ECMO therapy increased the risk of mortality,and targeted platelet transfusion may improve the survival of these patients.
