Objective: To translate the common metrics for donation attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention for the blood donation context (BD-ASPI) into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity among college students. Methods: A research team was established. Following Beaton's cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, the BD-ASPI was translated, culturally adapted, and pre-tested to develop the Chinese version. Using convenience sampling, 620 students from four universities in Wuhan were surveyed form August to November 2024 to test the scale's reliability and validity. Results: The Chinese version of the scale consisted of 21 items across four dimensions: attitude towards blood donation, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.89 to 1.00, and the average scale-level content validity index was 0.984. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the second-order factor model. The Criterion validity was 0.509 (P<0.001). The overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.965, with the coefficients for each dimension ranging from 0.891 to 0.974. The test-retest reliability was 0.894. Conclusion: The Chinese version of the BD-ASPI demonstrates good reliability and validity, and can serve as an effective tool for assessing the behavioral intention of voluntary blood donation among college students in China.

Background: and Purpose Live cell-based assays (LCBA) are increasingly used for serological antibody detection due to their ability to preserve antigen conformation, offering moderately higher sensitivity than fixed cell-based assays. However, the clinical necessity of prioritizing LCBA for the detection of aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) remains unclear, especially when compared to its established role in diagnosing myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease. Methods: We compared the performance of live cell-based assays using immunofluorescence (LCBA-IF) and fixed cell-based assays using immunofluorescence (FCBA-IF) in detecting AQP4-IgG in 90 cases of NMOSD meeting 2015 International Panel for Neuromyelitis Optica Diagnosis criteria, alongside 40 controls. Additionally, we further investigated the relationship between AQP4-IgG titers as measured by LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF and clinical parameters in NMOSD patients. Results: Results showed 96.9% agreement between LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF (Cohen’s κ=0.935), with a strong Spearman correlation (0.977, p<0.001). Both methods demonstrated 100% specificity, with LCBA-IF showing slightly higher sensitivity compared to FCBA-IF. Within LCBAIF-tested groups, statistically significant differences in annualized relapse rates were observed across all pairwise comparisons (low-titer vs. moderate-titer, low-titer vs. high-titer, and moderate-titer vs. high-titer; all p<0.050). However, this association reached statistical significance in some FCBA-IF-tested groups. Conclusions Overall, there is a strong concordance between LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF in detecting AQP4-IgG, where LCBA-IF shows slightly higher sensitivity. Furthermore, there is a potential link between elevated AQP4-IgG titers and an increased risk of relapse, and this correlation may appear more pronounced when using LCBA-IF.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with hepatitis B virus（HBV）-related primary hepatocellular carcinoma（HCC）who were treated in a multidisciplinary team（MDT）for liver cancer，so as to provide a basis for clinical optimization of the diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B（CHB）.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for 482 HBV-related HCC patients who were treated with HCC-MDT every Thursday afternoon in The First Affiliated Hospital of the Army Medical University from January 2022 to May 2024，aged 18-87（55.54±10.84）years，86.93%（419/482）males and 13.07%（63/482）females. According to the different underlying liver diseases at the time of initial medical treatment and the different prognostic outcomes at the later follow-up，the differences in clinical characteristics between groups under different conditions were compared and analyzed，and the influencing factors of HCC prognosis were understood by Logistic regression analysis. Results:At the time of MDT presentation，the differences in HBeAg status（ χ2=6.311 ，P=0.043），γ-glutamyl traspeptidase（GGT）（ Z=6.277， P=0.043），alkaline phosphatase（ALP）（ Z=7.236 ，P=0.027），and model for end-stage liver disease（MELD）scores（ Z=6.111， P=0.047）among patients with different underlying liver diseases were statistically significant. At follow-up，6.75%（11/163）of HBV-related HCC patients who presented to MDT had a family history of HCC，and their cumulative mortality rate was as high as 60.8%（205/337）at least for 1 year. Mulitivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that different underlying liver disease at the time of initial medical treatment，HBV DNA replication level，MELD score and choice of anti-cancer treatment regimen were the influencing factors for the prognosis of HCC（all P<0.05）. The worse the degree of cirrhosis at the initial presentation，the higher the level of HBV DNA replication，and the higher the MELD score，the worse the prognosis for HCC. Conclusion:Advancing the diagnosis and treatment of CHB，maximizing the inhibition of HBV DNA replication，reducing the MELD score，and optimizing the anti-cancer treatment regimen can reduce the mortality rate of HBV-related HCC.

Objective:To explore the application value of cinematic rendering reconstruction technology in laparoscopic resection of giant adrenal tumors.Methods:As many as 21 patients with large adrenal tumors who underwent laparoscopic resection in Yongchuan Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University from January 2021 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, with a median age of 54.0 (40.5, 58.0) years and a median tumor diameter of 7.3 (6.8, 8.8) cm. All patients underwent preoperative cinematic rendering 3D reconstruction imaging. All patients underwent enhanced CT scans. Their CT images were three-dimensionally reconstructed on the post-processing workstation platform. By changing image perspectives, adjusting the visualization of organs or blood vessels, and using physical volume rendering, real-shadow-rendered images were obtained. With these images, surgeons can intuitively understand important preoperative information, like the relationship between the tumor and surrounding organs and the path of tumor-feeding blood vessels, for preoperative planning. Following thorough preoperative preparation, laparoscopic transabdominal resection was performed. During surgery, 20 tumors were found to be located in the adrenal gland, and 1 in the retroperitoneum, with 13 on the left side and 8 on the right side. Preoperative cinematic rendering 3D imaging was consistent with intraoperative findings.Results:All 21 patients underwent successful surgeries, with an average operation time of (199.0±95.3) minutes, a median blood loss of 220 (150, 500) ml, and a median blood transfusion volume of 200 (150, 400) ml. No significant damage of vital organs or major blood vessels occurred, and there were no case of conversion to open surgery.Conclusions:For retroperitoneal giant adrenal tumors, utilizing cinematic rendering 3D reconstruction imaging enables a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the tumor and surrounding organs and vessels preoperatively. This approach can reduce intraoperative bleeding and collateral injuries, improve the success rate of laparoscopic resection, and enhance overall surgical safety.

Purpose: This Phase II trial was objected to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding fulvestrant to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)– locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Additionally, the study aimed to investigate the association of 16α-18F-fluoro-17β-fluoroestradiol (18F-FES) positron emission tomography (PET)–computed tomography (CT) and metabolites with efficacy. Materials and Methods: Fulvestrant and EC-T regimen were given to ER+/HER2– LABC patients before surgery. At baseline, patients received 18F-FES PET-CT scan, and plasma samples were taken for liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included total pathologic complete response (tpCR) and safety. Results: Among the 36 patients enrolled, the ORR was 86.1%, the tpCR rate was 8.3%. The incidence of grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events was 22%. The decrease in ER value in sensitive patients was larger than that in non-sensitive patients, as was Ki-67 (p < 0.05). The maximum standardized uptake value, mean standardized uptake values, total lesion ER expression of 18F-FES PET-CT in sensitive patients were significantly higher than those in non-sensitive patients (p < 0.05). Moreover, these parameters were significantly correlated with Miller and Payne grade and the change in ER expression before and after treatment (p < 0.05). Thirteen differential expressed metabolites were identified, which were markedly enriched in 19 metabolic pathways. Conclusion This regimen demonstrated acceptable toxicity and encouraging antitumor efficacy. 18F-FES PET-CT might serve as a tool to predict the effectiveness of this therapy. Altered metabolites or metabolic pathways might be associated with treatment response.

Background/Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a significant risk factor for gallstone formation, but mechanisms underlying MASH-related gallstone formation remain unclear. Golgi membrane protein 1 (GOLM1) participates in hepatic cholesterol metabolism and is upregulated in MASH. Here, we aimed to explore the role of GOLM1 in MASH-related gallstone formation. Methods: The UK Biobank cohort was used for etiological analysis. GOLM1 knockout (GOLM1-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice were fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). Livers were excised for histology and immunohistochemistry analysis. Gallbladders were collected to calculate incidence of cholesterol gallstones (CGSs). Biles were collected for biliary lipid analysis. HepG2 cells were used to explore underlying mechanisms. Human liver samples were used for clinical validation. Results: MASH patients had a greater risk of cholelithiasis. All HFD-fed mice developed MASH, and the incidence of gallstones was 16.7% and 75.0% in GOLM1-/- and WT mice, respectively. GOLM1-/- decreased biliary cholesterol concentration and output. In vivo and in vitro assays confirmed that GOLM1 facilitated cholesterol efflux through upregulating ATP binding cassette transporter subfamily G member 5 (ABCG5). Mechanistically, GOLM1 translocated into nucleus to promote osteopontin (OPN) transcription, thus stimulating ABCG5-mediated cholesterol efflux. Moreover, GOLM1 was upregulated by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, we confirmed that IL-1β, GOLM1, OPN, and ABCG5 were enhanced in livers of MASH patients with CGSs. Conclusions In MASH livers, upregulation of GOLM1 by IL-1β increases ABCG5-mediated cholesterol efflux in an OPN-dependent manner, promoting CGS formation. GOLM1 has the potential to be a molecular hub interconnecting MASH and CGSs.

Objective:To understand the coverage and information consistency rate of National Immunization Program (NIP) vaccines among children born during 2020-2021 in Zhejiang Province, Chongqing City, and Shanxi Province (3 provinces) of China .Methods:A simple random sampling method was used to randomly select 3 counties (districts) from each of the 3 provinces, 5 townships from each county (district), and 5 villages from each township. Vaccination information for seven NIP vaccines was collected for children born between 2020 and 2021 in each village. The vaccination coverage, timely coverage, and consistency rates between the survey data and the Immunization Planning Information System data were analyzed.Results:A total of 1 117 children were investigated. The vaccination coverage for each dose of NIP vaccine ranged from 99.10% to 100.00%, with those in Zhejiang Province, Chongqing City, and Shanxi Province ranging from 99.19% to 100.00%, 98.92% to 100.00%, and 99.20% to 100.00%, respectively. The timely coverage of each dose of NIP vaccine ranged from 89.79% to 99.82%, with those in Zhejiang Province, Chongqing City, and Shanxi Province ranging from 94.09% to 99.73%, 89.52% to 99.73%, and 78.55% to 100.00%, respectively. The consistency rate of information on each dose of NIP vaccine ranged from 94.36% to 99.91%, with those in Zhejiang Province, Chongqing City, and Shanxi Province ranging from 97.85% to 99.73%, 98.92% to 100.00%, and 86.06% to 100.00%, respectively.Conclusions:Coverage of NIP vaccines was generally high among children born during 2020-2021 in the 3 provinces of China, but there were regional differences in the timely coverage of some vaccine doses and the vaccination information consistency rate. It is necessary to strengthen the timely vaccination of children's vaccine booster doses and optimize the management of vaccination services.

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of antiviral therapy in the patients with normal ALT chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Methods The clinical data of the patients with normal ALT CHB visiting in this hospital from December 2019 to December 2023 were collected.The patients were divided into the low vi-ral load group(HBV DNA＜2×106 IU/mL,n=76)and high viral load group(HBV DNA≥2×106 IU/mL,n=10).ETV,TDF and TAF were adopted to conduct the single drug antivirus therapy.The basic informa-tion,demographic characteristics,HBV DNA levels in initial treatment and after 12,24,36,48 weeks of treat-ment,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)were collected.The rate of complete virological response(CVR)at each time point conducted the statistics for evaluating the effect.The drug safety was evaluated by the eGFR level in 48 weeks of treatment.Results The CVR rates in 12,24,36 weeks of treatment in the low viral load group were 81.6％,94.7％,100.0％and 100.0％respectively,which in the high viral load group were 40.0％,80.0％,80.0％and 80.0％respectively.There was no significant change in eGFR level(109.41±170.57)mL·min-1·1.73 m-2 at 48 weeks of treatment compared with baseline(108.47±110.83)mL·min-1·1.73 m-2(P＞0.05).The ALT and creatinine levels during the treatment process in all the patients were not increased.There was no case of drug withdrawal and drug change due to the drug side effects.Conclusion The overall efficacy and safety of ETV,TDF and TAF monotherapy are good in CHB pa-tients with a family history of cirrhosis or liver cancer and normal ALT.The patients with high viral load at baseline are less likely to achieve CVR in 48 weeks of treatment.
