[Objective] To establish a method for detecting the potency of recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅶa for injection. [Methods] By adding the sample and factor Ⅶ deficient plasma to the sample cup and activating the reaction with prothrombin time assay reagent (PT reagent), the coagulation time of the sample was determined by the change in magnetic bead swing amplitude in the sample cup. The logarithm of coagulation time was inversely proportional to the logarithm of human factor Ⅶa potency. [Results] Under the experimental conditions, the specificity of the methodology was evaluated through spiked recovery, and the recovery rates ranged from 90.0% to 110.0%. Within the range from 0.125 to 1.000 IU/mL, there was a good linear response between the potency and coagulation time of the standard and sample, with correlation coefficients r>0.99. As for the accuracy and repeatability, the recovery rates of various concentrations detected in the stock solution were 101.0%, 100.0% and 112.0%, respectively, with RSD values of 2.6%, 4.0% and 0.0%, respectively. The recovery rates of various concentrations in finished product testing were 104.0%, 94.7% and 112.0%, respectively, with RSD values of 1.9%, 2.4% and 0.0%, respectively. As for the intermediate precision, the RSD were 4.5% and 3.7%, respectively. After treated with sample diluent, the sample was tested at room temperature for 6 hours and still exhibited relatively stable biological activity. [Conclusion] This detection method is accurate, stable, easy to operate and highly automated, and is suitable for detecting the potency of recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅶa for Injection.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of bone acupuncture in improving pain and function in degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) and compare it with Jiaji acupuncture. METHODS: From January to December 2023, 80 DLSS patients were treated with acupuncture and divided into bone acupuncture and Jiaji acupuncture groups. Among them, 40 patients in the bone acupuncture group included 15 males and 25 females, with a mean age of (60.60±6.98) years old;anthor 40 patients in the Jiaji acupuncture group included 16 males and 24 females, with a mean age of (61.48±9.55) years old. The Roland Morris disability questionnaire(RMDQ), walking distance, visual analogue scale(VAS), and the MOS item short from health survey(SF-36) of two groups at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks post-treatment were compared. RESULTS: Eighty patients were followed up for 3 to 5 months with an average of (3.62±0.59) months. There was no significant differences in general data and the scores before treatment between two groups(P>0.05). The RMDQ scores in both groups decreased significantly at 2, 4 and 12 weeks after treatment compared with before treatment(P<0.05), at each time point after treatment, the decrease was more significant in the bone acupuncture group than in the Jiaji acupuncture group(P<0.05). The VAS of waist and leg in both groups was significantly lower at 2, 4 and 12 weeks after treatment that before treatment(P<0.05). At all time points after treatment, the waist VAS in the bone acupuncture group was reduced more significant than in the Jiaji acupuncture group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in leg VAS at 2 and 12 weeks after treatment between two groups(P>0.05), the improvement was more significant in the bone acupuncture group in the 4 weeks after treatment than in the Jiaji acupuncture group. The SF-36 scores in both groups were significantly higher at 2, 4, and 12 weeks after treatment than before treatment(P<0.05);the SF-36 score raised more significant in the bone acupuncture group than in the Jiaji acupunture group(P<0.05). No significant difference in the walking distance between two groups at 2 weeks after treatment(P>0.05);the walking distance in the bone acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the Jiaji acupuncture group at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Bone-penetrating acupuncture moderately improves functional impairment, pain, and quality of life in patients with DLSS, showing better efficacy than Jiaji acupuncture.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy and safety of 21-day venetoclax (VEN) plus azacitidine (AZA) (21-day VA) in newly diagnosed unfit acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in the real-world. METHODS: The clinical data of patients with unfit-AML who received 21-day VA regimen from December 2020 to July 2024 in our center and completed at least 1 cycle of therapeutic effect assessment was retrospectively collected to analyze the safety, efficacy and its influencing factors. RESULTS: A total of 59 patients were enrolled in our study, with a median age of 67(48-87) years old. After 1 cycle of therapy, the composite complete remission (cCR) rate was 74.5%, 54.2% of cases were negative for minimal residual disease (MRD). Among them, the MRD negative rate of patients with NPM1 mutation was significantly higher than that of patients without NPM1 mutation ( P =0.032). The median follow-up of patients was 19(2-38) months, the best cCR and MRD negative rates were 78% and 64.4%, respectively, the median overall survival (OS) time was 12 months, and the median progression free survival (PFS) time was 5 months. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed less than 4 cycles of VA chemotherapy were independent risk factor for PFS and OS ( P < 0.05). After achieving remission, anemia and thrombocytopenia improved with the increase of the number of chemotherapy cycle. CONCLUSION In real-world, 21-day VA regimen still shows significant efficacy in the treatment of newly diagnosed unfit-AML, without adversely affecting remission rate and MRD negative rate of the first cycle.

BACKGROUND: The association of systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) with prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients has never been investigated in a large sample with long-term follow-up. This study aimed to explore the association of SIRI with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a nationally representative sample of CAD patients from United States. METHODS: A total of 3386 participants with CAD from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018 were included in this study. Cox proportional hazards model, restricted cubic spline (RCS), and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were performed to investigate the association of SIRI with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Piece-wise linear regression and sensitivity analyses were also performed. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 7.7 years, 1454 all-cause mortality occurred. After adjusting for confounding factors, higher lnSIRI was significantly associated with higher risk of all-cause (HR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.09-1.23) and CVD mortality (HR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.05-1.30) but not cancer mortality (HR = 1.17, 95% CI: 0.99-1.38). The associations of SIRI with all-cause and CVD mortality were detected as J-shaped with threshold values of 1.05935 and 1.122946 for SIRI, respectively. ROC curves showed that lnSIRI had robust predictive effect both in short and long terms. CONCLUSIONS SIRI was independently associated with all-cause and CVD mortality, and the dose-response relationship was J-shaped. SIRI might serve as a valid predictor for all-cause and CVD mortality both in the short and long terms.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum chitosinase 3-like protein 1(CHI3L1)and Syndecan-1(SDC1)levels and bone metabolism in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and their predictive efficacy on osteoporosis.Methods A total of 412 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to this hospital from May 2019 to May 2023 were included in this study,and were divided into normal bone mass group(n=151),reduced bone mass group(n=138)and osteoporosis group(n=123)according to the iffer-ences in bone mineral density.Serum CHI3L1 and SDC1 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay,and serum levels of type 1 collagen cross-linked carboxyl terminal peptide(CTX),25-hydroxyvita-min D[25-(OH)D],osteocalcin(OC),and type 1 procollagen N-terminal propeptide(P1NP)were deter-mined by automatic chemiluminescence immunoassay.Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between serum CHI3L1,SDC1 and bone metabolism in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of serum CHI3L1 and SDC1 on osteoporosis in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors of osteoporosis in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Results There were significant differences in diabetes course,fasting blood glucose,HbA1c and HDL-C a-mong normal bone mass group,decreased bone mass group and osteoporosis group(P＜0.05).The levels of serum CHI3L1,25-(OH)D,P1NP and osteocalcin in osteoporosis group were lower than those in osteopenia group,and those in osteopenia group were lower than those in normal bone mass group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Serum SDC1 and CTX levels in osteoporosis group were higher than those in osteopenia group,and those in osteopenia group were higher than those in normal bone mass group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Serum CHI3L1 was positively correlated with 25-(OH)D,P1NP and OC(P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with CTX(P＜0.05).Serum SDC1 was negatively correlated with 25-(OH)D,P1NP,OC(P＜0.05),and positively correlated with CTX(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum CHI3L1,SDC1 and their combination predicted osteoporosis in elderly pa-tients with type 2 diabetes were 0.851,0.772 and 0.904,respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that long duration of diabetes,increased HbA1c,high expression of OC,CHI3L1＞4.16 ng/mL,SDC1≥50.94 ng/mL were all influential factors for osteoporosis in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes(P＜0.05).Conclusion Low expression of CHI3L1 and high expression of SDC1 in serum are associated with ab-normal bone metabolism in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.These two indexes are expected to be used as biological markers to predict osteoporosis in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective To evaluate the effect of pneumatic logistics transport system(PTS)on the trans-portation efficiency of the transferred samples and the accuracy of the results.Methods The transportation speed,temperature and humidity change of PTS were analyzed by temperature and humidity transmitter.Anti-coagulant samples containing disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate(EDTA-K2),sodium citrate,lithium hepa-rin and samples containing inert separation gel coagulant were selected.and used respectively for complete blood cell analysis,prothrombin time(PT),activated partial prothrombin time(APTT),troponin T(TnT)and other myocardial markers,as well as the detection of items such as glucose(Glu)and lactate dehydrogen-ase(LDH).According to the transfer mode,they were divided into the manual transfer group and the PTS transfer group,and according to the number of PTS transfers,they were divided into the one-time transfer group,the three-time transfer group and before transfer(control).The differences among each group were statistically analyzed,and 1/3 allowable total error(1/3TEa)was adopted as the criterion for determining the clinical application value.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the changes of tempera-ture and humidity during the transportation process of PTS compared with manual transportation(P＞0.05),but it was significantly faster than manual transportation in terms of transportation time(P＜0.05).Com-pared with before transfer,the differences between the PT,APTT,Glu and LDH items in the one-time trans-fer group and the three-time transfer group were statistically significant(P＜0.01),and their deviations were all much greater than 1/3TEa.However,in the plasma samples,compared with before transport,there were statistically significant differences in Glu and LDH between the one-time transfer group and the three-time transfer group(P＜0.05),but the deviations were all less than 1/3TEa.For the items of TnT,red blood cell count and hematocrit,compared with before transfer,there were statistically significant differences between some groups of the one-time transfer group and the three-time transfer group(P＜0.05),but the deviations were all less than 1/3TEa.Conclusion PTS can significantly improve the transportation efficiency of sam-ples,but it significantly affects the detection of Glu and LDH in plasma samples,which can be improved by u-sing serum sample transportation instead.In addition,PTS also affects the detection of PT and APTT,and it is not recommended to use PTS to transport coagulation specimen.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT combined with abnormal prothrombin(PIVKA-Ⅱ)in the diagnosis of different tumors.Methods A total of 200 patients with suspected cancer who underwent examinations in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from September 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively selected,including 51 suspected liver cancer,49 suspected pancreatic cancer,52 suspected rectal cancer and 48 suspected prostate cancer.All patients underwent both serum PIVKA-Ⅱ testing and 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to assess the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and serum PIVKA-Ⅱ for liver cancer,pancreatic cancer,rectal cancer and prostate cancer.Results No significant differences were found in general data of 4 suspected tumor groups(P>0.05)except for age.Serum PIVKA-Ⅱ levels were significantly higher in patients with suspected liver cancer and rectal cancer compared with those with suspected pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer(P<0.05).No significant difference was observed in the serum PIVKA-Ⅱ levels between suspected pancreatic cancer group and suspected prostate cancer group(P>0.05).The positive rates of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and serum PIVKA-Ⅱ for diagnosing liver,pancreatic,rectal,and prostate cancers were significantly lower than those of pathological examination(49.0%vs.47.1%vs.92.2%,57.1%vs.55.1%vs.87.8%,48.1%vs.44.2%vs.92.3%,64.6%vs.62.5%vs.89.6%,respectively,P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that serum PIVKA-Ⅱ had a sensitivity of 79.06%,specificity of 72.02%,area under ROC curve(AUC)of 0.822,and Youden index of 0.512.For 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT,the sensitivity was 79.11%,specificity 72.07%,AUC 0.829,and Youden index 0.510.The combined use of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and serum PIVKA-Ⅱ achieved higher diagnostic accuracy,with a sensitivity of 93.28%,specificity of 81.15%,AUC of 0.924 and Youden index of 0.744,all surpassing the single index.Conclusion Both 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and serum PIVKA-Ⅱ are effective diagnostic tools for liver,pancreatic,rectal,and prostate cancers,with the combined approach yielding superior diagnostic performance.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of adult skeletal fluorosis caused by drinking tea-type endemic fluorosis in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (hereinafter referred to as Yushu Prefecture), Qinghai Province, and provide scientific basis for prevention and control of the disease.Methods:In August 2021, one village was selected as a survey site in six counties (cities) in Yushu Prefecture, including Nangqian, Chindu, Yushu, Zadoi, Qumarlêb, and Zhiduo. Drinking water samples and 10 brick tea samples were collected from each village to determine the fluoride content in water and brick tea; at least 100 permanent residents aged ≥ 25, who had a habit of drinking brick tea and had lived in the local area for more than 5 years, were selected for X-ray imaging to examine the prevalence of adult skeletal fluorosis.Results:A total of 75 samples of residential drinking water were collected, with a fluoride content of (0.21 ± 0.05) mg/L, ranging from 0.11 to 0.34 mg/L; 60 samples of brick tea, with a fluoride content of (626.70 ± 157.27) mg/kg, ranging from 324.00 to 2 102.00 mg/kg. A total of 1 136 adults were examined, and 318 cases of skeletal fluorosis were diagnosed, with a detection rate of 27.99%. Among them, the detection rates of mild, moderate, and severe skeletal fluorosis were 20.95% (238/1 136), 6.07% (69/1 136), and 0.97% (11/1 136), respectively, with mild symptoms being the main. The detection rates of skeletal fluorosis in males and females were 29.09% (121/416) and 27.36% (197/720), respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the gender (χ 2 = 0.39, P = 0.533). Comparison of the skeletal fluorosis in different gender, the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 = 22.31, P < 0.001). The detection rates of skeletal fluorosis in the age groups of 25 - 35, 36 - 45, 46 - 55, 56 - 65, 66 - 75, and ≥76 years old were 6.86% (7/102), 22.37% (51/228), 24.02% (92/383), 37.44% (73/195), 43.48% (70/161), and 37.31% (25/67), respectively. The differences between the groups were statistically significant (χ 2 = 59.84, P < 0.001). Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference in the composition of skeletal fluorosis among different age groups ( H = 37.66, P < 0.001). The Spearman correlation analysis results showed that the severity of adult skeletal fluorosis was positively correlated with age ( r = 0.34, P < 0.001). Conclusions:There is a certain degree of prevalence of adult skeletal fluorosis in Yushu Prefecture. And as age increases, the condition of skeletal fluorosis becomes more severe.

Objective To investigate the implementation of surveillance,prevention and control measures for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in maternal and child healthcare(MCH)institutions,and provide policy evi-dence for optimizing HAI prevention and control in MCH institutions.Methods Stratified sampling was conducted among the MCH institutions at provincial,municipal and county levels in 8 provinces/autonomous regions.A uni-fied questionnaire was designed and the online survey was conducted through"Questionnaire Star".Results The data from 123 MCH institutions were included in the analysis.90.24％of the MCH institutions carried out compre-hensive surveillance on HAI.The ratios of MCH institutions which implemented targeted surveillance on HAI in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU),surgical site infection,multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)and HAI in intensive care units(non-NICU excluded)were 89.66％,85.96％,80.77％,and 74.19％,respectively.51.22％MCH institutions adopted information surveillance system on HAI cases.94.31％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on hand hygiene compliance.Over 90％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on environment hy-giene in high-risk departments.71.54％MCH institutions conducted centralized cleaning,disinfection,sterilization and supply for reusable medical instruments in the central sterile supply department(CSSD).Over 90％MCH insti-tutions established three-level pre-examination triage systems.86.18％set up transitional wards.MCH institutions generally adopted a management model with established effective communication,full appointment visits,and sepa-rate visits for special medical groups,such as registered pregnant women,high-risk newborns,healthcare groups,and long-term rehabilitation patients.However,the ratio of institutions conducting on-line follow-up visits was less than 50％.Conclusion MCH institutions have generally carried out comprehensive and targeted surveillance on HAI.Information surveillance need to be facilitated.Hand hygiene and environmental hygiene surveillance has been popularized to a certain extent at all levels of MCH institutions.The cleaning,disinfection,sterilization,and supply processes of reusable medical devices in a few MCH institutions are not standardized.Special medical populations get effective management.On-line healthcare is to be further promoted.
