Objective: To analyze the cause of discrepancy between ABO genotype B102/O01 and serological results in one case by PCR-SSP, to clarify the serological characteristics of this special blood group, and to explore relevant blood transfusion strategies. Methods: Blood group serological tests were performed on blood donor in August and December 2024, including forward and reverse ABO typing using tube method, H antigen identification, direct anti-human globulin test by tube method, red blood cell absorption-elution test, and determination of ABH blood group substance in saliva. Exons 1-7 of the ABO gene were amplified by PCR-SSP and sequenced. Results: The two separate serological tests consistently identified the donor as having an A B phenotype, but the results of gene sequencing indicated a B102/O01 genotype, showing an discrepancy between serological and genetic results. Conclusion: It is very likely that the blood type of the blood donor is B102/O01 with a microchimerism of type A, or an AB type masked by A type reference gene.

Based on the interactive ritual chain theory， this paper deeply analyzed the interactive characteristics between doctors， patients， and their families in the palliative care environment， as well as explored the role of emotional resonance， symbolic representation， and situational creation in psychological support. It also sorted out four primary issues currently present in psychological support for palliative care patients， including insufficient recognition of caregivers regarding patients’ psychological needs， limited psychological intervention methods， inadequate psychological support capabilities among medical staff， and an imperfect family and social support system. On this basis， a five-dimensional psychological support mechanism was constructed， encompassing emotional resonance， situational creation， team collaboration， environment building， and technological application. This aimed to provide palliative care patients with comprehensive and continuous psychological intervention by optimizing doctor-patient interaction， strengthening emotional connection， improving physical environment， and utilizing information technology， thereby contributing to alleviating the psychological distress patients confront in the terminal stage and improving their life dignity and quality of life.

Objective To investigate the species of sandflies and the prevalence of Leishmania infections in sandflies from selected areas of northern and northwestern China, so as to provide insights into identification of leishmaniasis vectors and assessment of epidemiological trends of leishmaniasis in China. Methods Sandfly samples were collected from Mentougou District of Beijing Municipality, Xiangning County in Linfen City of Shanxi Province, Ejin Banner in Alxa League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Payzawat County of Karamay District of Karamay City, Gaochang District of Turpan City in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from July 2023 to July 2024. Approximately 100 intact female sandfly samples were randomly selected from each site and the species of sandflies was identified according to morphological characteristics and molecular assays. Female sandflies originating from the same habitat were grouped into pools of 10 individuals. Leishmania infection was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeting the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS-1) gene, and the prevalence of Leishmania infection was calculated in sandflies from different sampling sites using the minimum infection rate (MIR) method. In addition, positive amplicons were sequenced and subjected to phylogenetic analysis. Results A total of 6 155 sandflies were collected from different environments at sampling sites across the six aforementioned regions from July 2023 to July 2024. Phlebotomus chinensis (96.00%) was the dominant sandfly species in Mentougou District, Beijing Municipality, with a small proportion of Ph. sergenti (4.00%), and only Ph. chinensis was found in Xiangning County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. Ph. wui was the only sandfly species detected in Ejin Banner, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Payzawat County, Kashgar City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and Ph. caucasicus (97.70%) was the dominant sandfly species in Karamay District, Karamay City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, with a small proportion of Ph. wui (2.30%), while Ph. alexandri was the only species in Gaochang District, Turpan City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. A total of 40, 60, 34, 18, 18, and 22 pools of sandfly samples were tested from Mentougou District in Beijing Municipality, Xiangning County in Linfen City of Shanxi Province, Ejin Banner in Alxa League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Payzawat County in Kashgar City, Karamay District in Karamay City, and Gaochang District in Turpan City of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, respectively. L. infantum was detected in Ph. chinensis samples from Mentougou District in Beijing Municipality, and Xiangning County of Linfen City in Shanxi Province, with MIR of 0.25% to 1.00%, and L. donovani was detected in Ph. wui from Ejin Banner in Alxa League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Payzawat County in Kashgar City of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, with MIR of 0.56% to 0.88%; however, no Leishmania infection was detected in Ph. caucasicus from Karamay District in Karamay City or Ph. alexandri from Gaochang District in Turpan City of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Leishmania ITS-1 gene sequences obtained from Mentougou District in Beijing Municipality and Xiangning County in Linfen City of Shanxi Province were clustered into the same clade with the reference sequences of L. infantum ITS-1 gene, while the Leishmania ITS-1 gene sequences obtained from Ejin Banner in Alxa League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Payzawat County in Kashgar City of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were clustered into the same clade with the reference sequences of L. donovani ITS-1 gene. Conclusions There are variations in sandfly species in selected areas of northern and northwestern China, and variations in the species of Leishmania infecting sandflies. Improved surveillance of sandfly vectors and targeted control strategies with adaptations to geographical features and leishmaniasis vectors are recommended.

OBJECTIVE: To review the application and progress of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) technology in the treatment of cervical degenerative diseases, and to provide reference for clinical treatment decisions. METHODS: The literature related to UBE technology in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) and cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) at home and abroad was extensively reviewed, and the surgical methods, indications, effectiveness, and safety were analyzed and summarized. RESULTS: UBE technology is effective in the treatment of CSR and CSM, and has the advantages of good surgical field, reducing the injury of the posterior structure of the cervical spine, and protecting the facet joint process, but in general, the indications are relatively narrow, limited to single-segment or adjacent double-segment lesions, and the requirements for the operator are relatively high, and the learning curve is long. CONCLUSION UBE technology can be applied to the treatment of CSR and CSM, but it needs to be carried out by experienced UBE surgeons for specific cases.

Alcoholic liver disease(ALD)is a liver disease caused by long-term heavy drinking and one of the most common causes of liver-related morbidity and mortality.According to Chinese medicine,the development of ALD is mainly related to alcoholism,and the evolution of its pathology is a gradually aggravating process.Wine-heat injures the liver,without obvious organic lesions at the initial stage,and as the disease progresses to different stages,internal dampness appears,dampness depresses and transforms into heat,and Qi stagnation and blood stasis are gradually aggravated,which affects the functions of various internal organs,directly or indirectly,and creates a complex mechanism of crosstalk between the liver and other organs,which leads to the pathological condition of This leads to the pathological state of multi-organ dysfunction.Modern research has found that long-term alcohol abuse not only causes direct damage to the liver,but also leads to progression to end-stage liver disease by altering the intestinal barrier function and intestinal microbial community,and producing kidney damage and cardiac function.This article reviewed recent studies on the interactions between the liver and other organs in light of the Chinese and Western pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease and the theory of organ crosstalk,and introduces potential strategies for the treatment of alcoholic liver disease,which will provide a reference for the discovery of new therapeutic avenues.

Objective:To explore the association between pre-diabetes and glomerular hyperfiltration status in residents in China.Methods:The study subjects were the non-diabetes population in China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance in 2018. According to the definition of prediabetes, the study subjects were divided into normoglycemic and pre-diabetes groups, and multivariate factorial logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between prediabetes and the risk for glomerular hyperfiltration and glomerular filtration rate decline, respectively. Restricted cubic spline was used to explore the dose-response relationship between different glycemic indexes and the risk for glomerular hyperfiltration.Results:A total of 129 735 eligible study subjects aged 18 to 74 years were included, including 45 336 persons with prediabetes. After adjusting for confounders, the OR for glomerular hyperfiltration in the prediabetes group was 1.26 (95% CI: 1.20-1.32) compared with the normoglycemic group, and prediabetes was not associated with decreased glomerular filtration rate ( OR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.96-1.12). Age-stratified results showed a 28% increase of risk for glomerular hyperfiltration in prediabetes group compared with normoglycemic group in those aged 18-59 year ( OR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.21-1.35), and a 15% increase of risk in old adults aged 60-74 years ( OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.05-1.25); the risk for glomerular hyperfiltration in women with prediabetes ( OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.29-1.47) was higher than that in men with prediabetes ( OR=1.14, 95% CI: 1.06-1.22); and the risk for prediabetes glomerular hyperfiltration was higher in those with insufficient physical activity ( OR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.22-1.36) than in those who were physically active ( OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.04-1.29). Restricted cubic spline results showed that fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and glomerular hyperfiltration risk all showed U-shaped associations, and 2 hours blood glucose glomerular hyperfiltration risk after taking sugar showed an approximate J-shaped association. Conclusions:The risk for glomerular hyperfiltration exists in the prediabetes population, and prediabetes is not associated with the decrease in glomerular filtration rate. Hyperglycemia control at an early and reversible stage is important to prevent glomerular hyperfiltration developing to hypofiltration and renal impairment.

Objective:To explore the effect of the interaction between plasma aluminum concentration and schooling year on cognitive function, it provides the basis for early identification of its damaging effect.Methods:From October to December, 2014, 1114 on-the-job aluminum exposed workers in a large aluminum factory in Shanxi Province were investigated. The plasma aluminum concentrations were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) as an internal exposure indicator. The subjects were divided into low, medium, and high aluminum exposure group based on the blood lead concentration levels. The general information was collected with a self-designed questionnaire, and their cognitive function was evaluated with the mini-mental state examination and the clock drawing test. The interaction between plasma aluminum concentration level and education level was analyzed by using unconditional logistic regression fitting multiplication model and cross analysis fitting addition model.Results:The average level of plasma aluminum of the subjects was 21.68 (10.51, 45.78) μg/L. The detection rate of cognitive impairment was 19.9%. The influencing factors of cognitive function were plasma aluminum concentration, age, education level and marital status, among which high schooling year, and being married were the protective factors (all P<0.05), plasma aluminum concentration, and age were the risk factors (all P<0.05) ; After adjusting the confounding factors, such as age, marital status, schooling year, income level, smoking, and drinking, logistic regression model and the multiple linear regression model showed that there was a dose response relationship between plasma aluminum concentration and cognitive impairment. With the increase of plasma aluminum concentration, the score gradually decreased, and the risk of cognitive impairment increased ( Ptrend<0.05) ; There were multiplicative interaction ( AOR=2.15, 95% CI: 1.10-4.19) and additive interaction ( RERI=5.38, 95% CI: 2.60-8.16; AP=0.65, 95% CI: 0.51-0.80; S=3.88, 95% CI: 2.00-7.56) between plasma aluminum concentration and low schooling year on cognitive function. Conclusion:There was a dose-response relationship between aluminum exposure and cognitive impairment. There was an interaction between aluminum exposure and low schooling year. When both of them worked together, the risk of cognitive impairment increases.

To investigate the expression and distribution of follicular dendritic cell(FDC)and follic-ular helper T cells(Tfh)in mouse spleen and lymph nodes induced by foot-and-mouth virus-like particles(FMDV-VLPs),the recombinant pCMV-HA-HBcAg-VP1-VP4 plasmid was transfected into CHO-K1 cells to prepare FMDV-VLPs,and the recombinant FMDV VP1-VP4 protein was expressed and purified through a prokaryotic expression system.BALB/c mice were subcutaneous-ly immunized with FMDV-VLPs(VLP group)and recombinant FMDV VP1-VP4 protein(VP1-VP4 group),and PBS control group(PBS group)was set up.At 21 d post primary immunization(dpi),booster immunization was carried out.Spleen,shoulder lymph nodes,and submandibular lymph nodes were collected at 7,28,42,72 and 102 dpi,and frozen sections were prepared.Immu-nohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression and distribution of FDC and Tfh.The results showed that the number of FDC and Tfh cells in the VLP group in the spleen and lymph nodes showed a gradual increase from 7 to 42 dpi,and gradually decreased to non-immune levels starting from 72 dpi.The results indicate that FMDV-VLPs can induce the formation of GC in the spleen and lymph nodes,and the number of FDC and Tfh cells in GC can last for at least 42 d.This study provides a theoretical basis for the study of the immune memory response mechanism of B cells induced by FMDV virus-like particles.

Objective To compare the stress magnitude and distribution of the restorations,remaining tooth tissues,and bonding interfaces of endodontically mandibular first molar with different buccolingual residual tooth tissue thicknesses in two different restorations.Methods The finite element method was used to model the restorations of mandibular first molars with different buccolingual residual tissue thicknesses after root canal treatment.The vertical and oblique loads were applied to record the stress magnitude and distribution of restorations,residual tissues,and bonding interfaces of the different restorations.Results Three different models of mandibular first molar were designed based on the amount of buccal and glossal side dental tissue.Based on this simulation of the dental preparation of FO and EC and the preparation of the prosthesis,generating 6 different groups:FO repair in A1 group,thickness of the buccal tooth tissue is 2mm;A2 group was repaired by FO,thickness of the buccal tooth tissue is 3mm;A3 Group was performed with FO repair,thickness of the buccal and lingual remaining tooth tissue is 4mm;In B1 group,with EC repair,thickness of buccal tooth tissue is 2mm;In B2 group with EC repair,thickness of buccal tooth tissue is 3mm;In B3 group,using EC repair,thickness of remaining dental tissue on buccal and lingual side was 4mm.Results Two loading modes,the restoration such as effect force distribution are concentrated around the loading point,dentin effect force are concentrated in the tooth neck,the full coverage of high embedded group restoration-dental resin interface maximum main stress(MPS)is concentrated in the hole wall and shaft wall Angle,the pulp cavity setting crown group restoration-dental resin interface MPS focus in the bottom wall angle of the pulp cavity setting hole type.In the model of tooth tissue thickness in the same buccal-lingual side,except that the peak effect force of the restoration was greater than the peak of the full coverage crown,the peak of the observed index of the full coverage crown was greater than that of the whole cavity.Conclusion Endocrown can better protect the tooth tissue after root canal treatment,and it is recommended to choose endocrown for restoration after root canal treatment.

Objective:To study the CT and MRI features of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC).Methods:Clinical data of 41 patients with XGC admitted to Yueqing Third People's Hospital, Yueqing People's Hospital and Wenzhou Central Hospital from January 1, 2013 to December 30, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 21 males and 20 females, aged 63 (61, 65) years. Data including gender, age, clinical manifestations, CT and MRI features, were recorded.Results:Of the 41 patients, 26 had clinical manifestations of upper abdominal pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fever, and 15 had upper abdominal pain accompanied by jaundice. Forty-one patients had positive percussion pain in liver area, of which 18 had positive Murphy’s sign and 12 had jaundice of the skin and sclera. Among the 25 patients who underwent CT examination, the gallbladder had a longitudinal diameter of 8 (5, 10) cm and a transverse diameter of 4 (3, 6) cm. The thickness of the thickened gallbladder wall was 1.6 (0.4, 1.9) cm. Most cases show diffuse uneven thickening, and a few cases show uniform diffuse or localized thickening. After enhancement, the thickened gallbladder wall can be seen as " sandwich" - or " sandwich cookie" -like enhancement or layered enhancement. Mucosal line is continuous or discontinuous. Eleven cases with low-density nodules between walls showed no enhancement. Among the 16 patients who underwent routine MRI examinations, the gallbladder had a longitudinal diameter of 8 (5, 10) cm and a transverse diameter of 4 (3, 6) cm. The thickness of the thickened gallbladder wall was 1.6 (0.4, 1.9) cm. Most cases show diffuse uneven thickening, and a few cases show uniform diffuse or localized thickening. There were nine cases of multiple small nodules between walls. The thickened gallbladder wall showed heterogeneous signal on T 1-weighted imaging (T 1WI) and T 2-weighted imaging (T 2WI), presenting equal, high, low, or mixed signals. T 1WI showed low signal intensity in reverse phase. Diffusion weighted imaging fat suppression sequence shows multiple small nodules within the wall with high signal intensity. Nine cases of intramural nodules showed high signal intensity on T 1WI in-phase, T 2WI, and T 2WI fat phase, low signal intensity on T 1WI in-phase, and low signal intensity on T 2WI fat suppression sequence. The wall of gallbladder showed " sandwich" - or " sandwich cookie" -like enhancement or layered enhancement. Mucosal line is continuous or discontinuous. Nine cases of intramural nodules showed no enhancement. Conclusions:The CT and MRI features of XGC are diffuse and uneven thickening with nodules between the gallbladder walls in most cases. Nodules with low density on CT plain scan, high signal on T 1WI in-phase, high signal on T 2WI, and low signal on T 1WI out-phase. The thickening of the gallbladder wall after enhancement is characterized by a " sandwich" - or " sandwich cookie" -like enhancement.
