Objective: To identify the mimicking autoantibodies using papain-enhanced erythrocyte agglutination in a case of repeated red blood cell transfusion refractoriness, aiming to explore the immune hematological methods for identifying mimicking alloantibodies, autoantibodies and alloantibodies, and to develop a safe and effective blood transfusion strategy based on the results. Methods: ABO, RhD and RhEeCc blood groups were detected using routine blood group serological method. The unexpected antibodies in plasma were screened and identified, followed by identification using a two-step papain-treated indirect antiglobulin test (enzyme-IAT). The cause of transfusion refractoriness of red blood cells was analyzed and summarized, and the prognosis was followed up. Results: The patient's blood type was type A, CCDee. The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) was positive. Unexpected antibody screening and identification using saline tube method, polybrene method, IAT were negative, and the release fluid (acid release) IAT identification was negative. Mimicking anti-e antibodies in plasma was identified by enzyme-ITA. The cause of red blood cell transfusion refractoriness in patients was autoimmune hemolysis caused by mimicking anti-e antibodies. After choosing to avoid antibodies corresponding to antigen-positive red blood cells, the patient's hemoglobin (Hb) increase value is in line with theoretical expectations, indicating effective red blood cell transfusion. Conclusion: Mimicking antibodies can cause immune destruction of red blood cells by non-specific binding to their own red blood cells and specific binding to red blood cells, resulting in red blood cell transfusion refractoriness.

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.

Patients with congenital heart disease combined with right ventricular outflow tract malformations often leave varying degrees of pulmonary regurgitation and/or obstruction after surgical/interventional correction.With the continuation of time,the significant increasement of the right ventricular volume load will affect patients'quality of life and survival,which may require multiple pulmonary valve replacements.Compared with high-risk surgery,percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is a less invasive,safer and more effective interventional valve replacement technology,which can improve patients' long-term prognosis.With the progress of technology and the improvement of instruments,the indications of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation have gradually expanded,and have gradually become an alternative treatment of surgical thoracic valve replacement.Combined with the latest research progress of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation,this paper discusses the change of indications,optimal timing of intervention and instrument selection in recent years.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of implementing precise management for Da Vinci robotic surgical consumables under the Diagnosis Related Group(DRG)payment system.Methods This retrospective case-control study ana-lyzed 200 patients undergoing Da Vinci robotic lung resection surgery in a tertiary hospital:100 cases from May to June 2022 as the control group,and 100 cases from May to June 2023 with implemented precision management as the observation group.The control group did not implement the payment according to DRG,while the observers implemented payment according to DRG and optimized refined management of Da Vinci robotic surgical consumables.Hospitalization duration,intraoperative costs,and utili-zation of high-value consumables were compared between the two groups.Results No statistically significant differences(P＞0.05)were observed between the two groups in terms of gender,age,medical insurance status,operative time,or intraoperative blood loss.The observation group exhibited a significantly shorter hospitalization duration(8.29±4.13 vs.10.47±4.57 days;P＜0.05),and higher surgical costs[(11 366.81±2 504.23)RMB vs.(8 716.07.78±256.34)RMB,P＜0.05]compared with the control group.Conclusion DRG-oriented precision management optimizes resource utilization through shortened hospi-talization time and rationalizes cost allocation,and sustainable consumable consumption patterns,demonstrating effective balance between clinical quality and economic efficiency under healthcare payment reforms.

Objective:To explore the association between sleep and myopia among students aged 6-15 years in Tianjin.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.A total of 218 864 primary and secondary school students aged 6-15 years in Tianjin were recruited from January 2023 to May 2023.Basic information and responses to the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) were collected.Logistic regression models were used to assess the association between myopia and sleep.The study followed the Declaration of Helsinki, and the research protocol was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (No.ChiCTR2200065710). All questionnaires and demographic information were collected with parental consent.Results:It was found that 68 121(31.12%) students were myopic and 178 514(81.56%) had sleep disorders.The prevalence of myopia among students with average daily sleep durations of ≤8 hours, >8-9 hours, >9-10 hours, and >10 hours was 52.17%(9 288/17 803), 35.35%(31 037/87 787), 25.18%(24 481/97 216), and 20.64% (3 315/16 058), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6 835.649, P<0.001). After adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, and potential confounding factors, compared with students with average daily sleep duration of >10 hours, students with average daily sleep durations of ≤8 hours ( OR=1.496, 95% CI: 1.415-1.581, P<0.001), >8-9 hours ( OR=1.364, 95% CI: 1.383-1.447, P<0.001), and >9-10 hours ( OR=1.257, 95% CI: 1.202-1.316, P<0.001) had a higher risk of myopia.Students with sleep disorders, bedtime resistance, sleep-onset delay, irregular sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night wakings, parasomnias, sleep-disordered breathing, and daytime sleepiness were more likely to be myopic. Conclusions:Sleep is a key factor influencing myopia among schoolchildren aged 6-15 years in Tianjin.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL),calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP),and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)for the prognostic regression of elderly patients with stroke complicated with pulmonary infection(SCPI).Methods:This study was a retrospective single-center study,149 elderly patients with SCPI who were admitted to Inner Mongolia Baogang Hospital from June 2020 to June 2024 were selected,they were divided into poor prognosis group(n=56)and good prognosis group(n=93)according to the prognosis.Baseline data and laboratory test indicators were collected,and NLR was calculated.Serum NGAL and CGRP levels were measured by ELISA.Influencing factors of poor prognosis of elderly patients with SCPI were analyzed by Multivariate logistic regression.Predicts value was analyzed by Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:Compared with good prognosis group,the poor prognosis group had higher of aged ≥ 70 years,incidence of hemorrhagic stroke,serum creatinine,white blood cell count,national institute of health stroke scale(NIHSS),platelet count,C-reactive protein,NGAL,and NLR levels,longer nerosurgery intensive care unit(NICU)stay,and lower CGRP levels(P＜0.05).Higher CGRP level was an independent protective factor of poor prognosis of elderly patients with SCPI(OR＜1,P＜0.05).Age ≥ 70 years,hemorrhagic stroke,longer NICU stay,higher NIHSS score,higher NGAL level and higher NLR were independent risk factors of poor prognosis of elderly patients with SCPI(OR＞1,P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for predicting the prognostic regression of elderly patients with SCPI used NGAL,CGRP,and NLR alone or in combination was 0.777,0.771,0.786,and 0.927,respectively,with the combination of three factors showed the highest predictive power(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Age ≥70 years,hemorrhagic stroke,longer NICU stay,higher NIHSS score,higher NGAL level and higher NLR are independent risk factors of poor prognosis of elderly patients with SCPI,while higher CGRP level is an independent protective factor.The combination detection of NGAL,CGRP and NLR can improve the predictive value of prognostic regression in elderly patients with SCPI.

Objective:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of decision anxiety in guardians of children with acute appendicitis under Endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) background, and to provide reference for the development of targeted intervention programs for decision anxiety.Methods:Convenient sampling method was used to select 254 guardians of children with acute appendicitis treated in the Department of Pediatrics, Second Affiliated Hospital of PLA Air Force Medical University from February 2023 to April 2024. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the General Data Questionnaire, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y-State anxiety subscale and the Preparation for Decision Making Scale. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors in guardians of children with acute appendicitis.Results:Among the guardians of 254 children with acute appendicitis, 156 were males and 98 were females, aged (37.44 ± 3.63) years old. The decision anxiety score of guardians of children with acute appendicitis was (52.49 ± 6.54). The results of multiple linear regression showed that age of children, gender of guardian, education level of guardian, per capita monthly income of family, decision making tendency and decision preparation were the main influencing factors of decision anxiety in guardians of children with acute appendicitis ( t values were -7.07-3.58, all P<0.05), which could explain 64.4% of the total variation. Conclusions:The decision anxiety in guardians of children with acute appendicitis is at a high level. Medical staff should provide targeted decision guidance, improve decision assistance programs and provide more effective decision support for guardians of children with acute appendicitis.

Objective:To investigate the effects of influenza A virus(IAV)on macrophages based on expression of cytokines mediated by Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription(JAK/STAT)pathway,and to further explore the intervention effects of Ma Xing Shigan decoction drug containing serum.Methods:RAW264.7 was divided into control group,JAK/STAT signal pathway activator group,inhibitor group,model group,oseltamivir group,antiviral granule group and Ma Xing Shigan decoction group.Cell samples were collected after the intervention of IAV and subsequent treating of drug-containing serum for 24 and 48 hours.Secretion levels of IL-1β and CXCL2 in supernatant were detected by ELISA.mRNA expression levels of influenza virus Nuclear Pro-tein(NP),JAK1/2 and STAT1 of cells were detected by RT-qPCR.Protein expression levels of JAK1/2 and STAT1 were detected by Western blot,and protein expression levels of p-STAT1 was detected by immunofluorescence.Correlation between protein expression levels of p-STAT1 and secretion of IL-1β and CXCL2 were evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis.Results:Secretion levels of IL-1β and CXCL2,mRNA expression levels of NP,JAK1/2,STAT1,protein levels of JAK1/2,STAT1 and p-STAT1 were increased,and protein levels of p-STAT1 was positively correlated with the secretion of IL-1β and CXCL2.Ma Xing Shigan decoction could down-regulate secretions of IL-1β and CXCL2,mRNA expression levels of NP,JAK1/2 and STAT1,protein expression levels of JAK1,JAK2,STAT1 and p-STAT1.Conclusion:Activation of JAK1/2-STAT1 signal pathway and imbalance of inflammatory factors may be one of the molecular mechanisms of immunopathological damage of macrophages induced by IAV.Ma Xing Shigan decoction may alle-viate pathogenic effects of IAV by regulating this signal pathway.

Objectiv To investigate an autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss family pedigree com-prehensively,aiming to precisely define its clinical phenotypes and uncover the underlying molecular genetic etiolo-gy.Methods A detailed interrogation of the proband's medical history and family history was conducted.Physical examinations,audiological assessments and temporal bone CT scans were performed.Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of the proband(Ⅳ-8)for whole-exome sequencing(WES).Subsequently,candidate vari-ants identified through WES were validated among family members using Sanger sequencing.Results There were 36 individuals in 4 generations in this family pedigree,showing autosomal dominant inheritance.Among them,16 individuals presented with progressive hearing loss.Audiological examinations were completed for 13 of them,re-vealing normal hearing in three individuals(Ⅲ-1,Ⅲ-1 1,Ⅳ-4)and bilateral symmetric hearing loss of varying se-verity in the remaining ten(Ⅱ-2,Ⅱ-4,Ⅱ-10,Ⅲ-4,Ⅲ-10,Ⅲ-13,Ⅲ-14,Ⅳ-1,Ⅳ-7,Ⅳ-8),and the degree of hearing loss was related to age.WES of Ⅳ-8 revealed that she carried the variant NM_199330.2(HOMER2):c.1064 A＞G(p.Ter354Trpext10),and Sanger sequencing verified the variation at this site.Peripheral blood samples of 18 individuals in this family were collected in total.All affected individuals(Ⅱ-2,Ⅱ-4,Ⅱ-10,Ⅲ-4,Ⅲ-9,Ⅲ-10,Ⅲ-13,Ⅲ-14,Ⅳ-1,Ⅳ-7,Ⅳ-8)carried the HOMER2 c.1064 A＞G variant,except for one young member(Ⅳ-6)who had not yet developed hearing loss.Unaffected individuals(Ⅱ-5,Ⅲ-1,Ⅲ-5,Ⅲ-11,Ⅳ-2,Ⅳ-4)lacked the variant,demonstrating complete cosegregation of genotype and phenotype.According to ACMG guide-lines,this variant was classified as likely pathogenic(PM2+PP1+PM4).Conclusion The c.1064 A＞G(p.Ter354Trpext10)variant of the HOMER2 gene is the molecular genetic etiology of this hereditary deafness family pedigree.
