Abstract
On September 26, 2024, a municipal hospital in Jiaxing City reported a maternal case of Listeria monocytogenes infection. In order to clarify the source of infection, the Jiaxing Center for Disease Control and Prevention immediately conducted the epidemiological investigation, laboratory testing and related disposal work. The case presented with fever (37.9 ℃), gradually intensifying paroxysmal abdominal pain without obvious cause, and went to hospital on the day of onset. Due to fetal intrauterine distress, a male infant was delivered by cesarean section on the same day. The epidemiological investigation identified that the case usually consumed fruits, often store fruits such as watermelon and grapes in the refrigerator alongside raw meat, and the refrigerator had never been cleaned or disinfected, posing a risk of cross contamination. Laboratory tests on amniotic fluid sample from the pregnant woman, infant blood sample showed positive results for Listeria monocytogenes infection. One strain of Listeria monocytogenes was detected in a smear sample from the inner wall of the refrigerator, and all the strains were ST2 type. Consuming fruits contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may be the main source of infection. Food safety education for pregnant women and their family members should be strengthened to reduce the risk of infection.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of astragalin (AST) on autophagy and apoptosis of astrocytes in the L4-5 dorsal horn of the spinal cord in mice with inflammatory pain induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). MethodsTwenty-four male C57BL/6 mice, aged six months, were randomly assigned to four groups: control group, saline group, CFA model group, and CFA+AST group, six mice in each group. The inflammatory pain model was established by injection of 10 µL CFA into the right lateral malleolus fossa. The saline group were injected with an equal amount of normal saline at the same site. The inflammatory pain mice in CFA+AST group were further treated with AST (60 mg/kg) intraperitoneally once a day for 21 consecutive days. Multiplex immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the coexpression of autophagy-related factors including ATG 12 and Beclin-1, apoptosis-related factors including Cleaved-Caspase3 and Caspase9, and the astrocyte marker such as GFAP in the L4-5 spinal dorsal horn of the mice in each group. Western blot was used to examine the protein expression levels of autophagy-related proteins(ATG12, Beclin-1) and apoptosis-related proteins(Caspase 3, Caspase 9) in the L4-5 spinal dorsal horn of mice. ResultsImmunofluorescent staining showed that in the L4-5 dorsal horn of the spinal cord, the fluorescence intensity of ATG12 (P<0.000 1) and Beclin-1 (P<0.000 1) was significantly increased, while that of Cleaved-Caspase 3 (P<0.001) and Caspase 9 (P<0.000 1) was decreased in the CFA+AST group when compared to the CFA model group. Furthermore, AST could inhibit the activation of astrocytes. Western blot further confirmed that AST significantly upregulated the expression of ATG12 (P<0.000 1) and Beclin-1 (P<0.000 1) in the L4-5 spinal cord of CFA mice, and downregulated the expression of Caspase 3 (P<0.01) and Caspase 9 (P<0.001). ConclusionsAST promotes autophagy of astrocytes and inhibits their apoptosis in the L4-5 spinal dorsal horn of CFA mice.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of clopidogrel metabolism-related gene variability in Kawasaki disease (KD) children with coronary artery lesions (CAL) across different age groups and the impact of genetic variability on the efficacy of clopidogrel antiplatelet therapy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data were collected from 46 KD children with CAL who were hospitalized in the Cardiovascular Center of Children′s Hospital of Fudan University between January 2021 and August 2022 and were treated with clopidogrel, including gender, age, body mass index, course of KD, CAL severity grade, and baseline platelet count. According to their age, the children were divided into ≥2-year-old group and <2-year-old group. Their platelet responsiveness was assessed by adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet inhibition rate (ADPi) calculated via thromboelastography, and children were categorized into high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) and normal on-treatment platelet reactivity (NTPR) groups. Genotypes of CYP2C19, PON1 and ABCB1 were detected. The t test, one-way analysis of variance and Chi-square test were used for intergroup comparison. Results:Among the 46 KD children with CAL, 34 were male and 12 were female; 37 were ≥2-year-old and 9 were <2-year-old; 25 cases were in the HTPR group and 21 cases were in the NTPR group, with 19 HTPR and 18 NTPR in the ≥2-year-old group, and 6 HTPR and 3 NTPR in the <2-year-old group. Genetic analysis showed that 92 alleles among the 46 children, with frequencies of CYP2C19*1, CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, CYP2C19*17, PON1 192Q, PON1 192R, ABCB1 3435C, ABCB1 3435T at 59% (54/92), 32% (29/92), 9% (8/92), 1% (1/92), 36% (36/92), 64% (59/92), 63% (58/92) and 37% (34/92), respectively. Analysis of the impact of genotype on ADPi revealed that in children aged ≥2 years, those with CYP2C19*1/*3 genotype had significantly lower ADPi than those with CYP2C19*1/*1 genotype ((34±15)% vs. (61±29)%, t=2.18, P=0.036). There were also no significant difference in ADPi among children with PON1 192Q homozygous, PON1 192R heterozygote and PON1 192R homozygous genotypes ((40±22)% vs. (52±33)% vs. (65±27)%, F=2.17, P=0.130), or among those with ABCB1 3435C homozygous, ABCB1 3435T heterozygote and ABCB1 3435T homozygous genotypes ((55±34)% vs. (60±27)% vs. (49±24)%, F=0.33, P=0.719). In <2-year-old group, there were no significant differences in ADPi across CYP2C19*1/*1, CYP2C19*1/*2 and CYP2C19*2*2 genotypes ((40±20)% vs. (53±37)% vs. (34±16)%, F=0.37, P>0.05). There were no significant differences in ADPi across CYP2C19*1/*1 and CYP2C19*1/*3 genotypes ((44±27)% vs. (42±20)%, t=0.08, P>0.05). There were no significant differences in ADPi across PON1 192Q homozygous, PON1 192R heterozygote and PON1 192R homozygous genotypes (45% vs. (55±27)% vs. (24±5)%, F=1.83, P>0.05). There were no significant differences in ADPi across ABCB1 3435C homozygous, ABCB1 3435T heterozygote and ABCB1 3435T homozygous genotypes ((36±16)% vs. (50±35)% vs. 45%, F=0.29, P>0.05). The risk analysis of HTPR in different genotypes revealed that in children aged ≥2 years, carrying at least 1 or 2 loss-of-function alleles of CYP2C19 was a risk factor for HTPR ( OR=4.69, 10.00, 95% CI 1.11-19.83, 0.84-119.32, P=0.033, 0.046, respectively), and PON1 192R homozygosity and carrying at least one PON1 192R allele were protective factors against HTPR ( OR=0.08, 0.13, 95% CI 0.01-0.86, 0.01-1.19, P=0.019, 0.043, respectively). Conclusion:KD children aged ≥2 years carrying CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles and PON1 192Q are more likely to develop HTPR.

【Objective】 To study and compare the effects of different storage temperature and time on coagulation factor after cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor(CAF) melting, and to provide reference for the establishment of industry standards. 【Methods】 From June 2021 to May 2023, a total of 96 bags of CAF were sampled in 4 bags per month, and timely detected in the same month. After the CAF was melted in a 37℃ water bath, the mild to moderate lipemic blood was labeled. Each bag of CAF and two 50 mL transfer bags were divided into two bags and two groups of 20 mL each using a sterile adapter. One group was placed in a 4℃ refrigerator and the other in a 22℃ water bath for 0 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. Then 2 mL of aseptic sample was taken separately and put into the test tube, and 1mL of sample and 3 mL of buffer were added into the other test tube with the sampling gun and mixed on the machine for testing. The experimental data of 60 bags without mild to moderate lipemic blood cryoprecipitation and coagulation factor were randomly selected and statistically analyzed by SPSS21.0. 【Results】 After melting, CAF was stored for 0 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h to detect the average content and growth rate of coagulation factor in the two groups: 1) Storage at 4℃, factor Ⅷ content was 118.62, 111.57(-5.95%), 105.51(-11.05%), 103.30(-12.92%), 94.35(-20.46%) and 83.25(-29.82%) IU/ bag, respectively; Storage at 22℃, the factor Ⅷ content was 118.62, 112.69(-5.00%), 111.41(-6.08%), 109.01(-8.10%), 101.55(-14.39%) and 92.75(-21.81%) IU/ bag, and the storage results of the two groups were compared. At 24 h at 4℃ and 48 h at 22℃, the content of factor Ⅷ had significant statistical significance(P<0.01), and when stored at 22℃, the decay rate of factor Ⅷ was slower; 2) When stored at 4℃, the content of factor V was 41.19, 41.31(0.29%), 40.52(-1.64%), 40.27(-2.23%), 39.05(-5.19%) and 36.99(-10.21%) IU/ bag, respectively; Stored at 22℃, the factor V content was 41.19, 41.71(1.25%), 42.54(3.28%), 41.94(1.80%), 39.21(-4.80%) and 35.64(-13.48%) IU/ bag, respectively. Comparison of storage results between the two groups showed that the content of factor V was statistically significant(P<0.05) and significantly significant(P<0.01) at 4℃48 h and 22℃48 h, respectively, and the decay rate of factor V was faster when stored at 22℃; 3) When stored at 4℃, the Fbg content was 268.86, 268.17(-0.26%), 262.46(-2.38%), 270.50(0.61%), 267.52(-0.50%) and 261.92(-2.58%) mg/ bag, respectively; Stored at 22℃, the Fbg content was 268.86, 265.86(-1.12%), 264.12(-1.77%), 265.89(-1.11%), 266.04(-1.05%) and 261.04(-2.91%) mg/ bag, respectively. There was no statistical significance between the 2 groups and the original 0 h content in each time period(P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 After CAF melting, coagulation factor decreased with the extension of storage time, especially the decrease of factor Ⅷ, followed by factor V, while Fbg basically unchanged. Comparison between the two groups showed that, factor Ⅷ decay rate is slower, factor V decay rate is faster of storage at 22℃. CAF should be transfused as soon as possible after melting. If the delay is unavoidable, for the delay time less than 12 h, storage at 4℃ is recommended, fot the delay time more than 12 h and less than 24 h, storage at 22℃ is recommended.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and the related factors of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) for pediatric renovascular hypertension (RVH) by a systematic review and meta-analysis.Methods:A systematic search was performed on international and domestic databases (Pubmed, Excerpt Medical Database (EMBASE), Cochrane library, Clinical trial.gov, Medline, China Biology Medicine (CBM), China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), VIP database and Wanfang) which included studies on PTRA for pediatric RVH from the establishment of the databases to March 2019. Key words of "pediatric" "children" "renal artery stenosis" "renovascular hypertension" "angioplasty" and "intervention" were used. Meta-analysis was made on the rate of technical success, clinical blood pressure improvement, complication and restenosis of PTRA as well as the predictors of its efficacy. The data consolidation, analysis of heterogeneity and sensitivity, and publication bias were performed using Comprehensive meta analyst and Open meta analyst software.Results:Seventeen observational non-controlled studies comprising 384 patients with RVH who underwent PTRA were identified. The technical success rate of PTRA was 93.9% (95% confidence interval ( CI) 89.3%-97.5%). The improvement rate of blood pressure was 68.4% (95% CI 57.2%-78.7%), and the cure rate was 40.0% (95% CI 25.0%-55.8%). The subsequent subgroup analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the improvement rate of blood pressure after PTRA among the patients with RVH caused by fibromuscular dysplasia, Takayasu arteritis and neurofibromatosis type 1, respectively ( P>0.05). The improvement rate of blood pressure in patients with combined lesions in renal artery branches was significantly lower than that in patients with lesions only in main renal artery ( RR=1.659, 95% CI 1.023-2.689, P=0.040). It was found that 25.5% (95% CI 19.3%-32.2%) of patients required repeat procedure because of restenosis of lesions. Procedural complication of PTRA occurred in 8.3% (95% CI 3.5%-14.4%) of patients. In terms of clinical blood pressure improvement rate after PTRA, there was heterogeneity among the enrolled studies, but the results of meta-analysis were robust with low risk of publication bias ( t=1.690, 95% CI -0.363-3.124, P=0.110). Conclusion:The result of the Meta-analysis suggests that PTRA may provide a safe and effective treatment for pediatric RVH, and patients with stenosis of renal arterial branches are associated with relatively poor clinical outcomes.
