Objective: To characterize perioperative dynamic changes in immune-cell phenotypes and inflammatory cytokines in patients undergoing CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass) cardiac surgery, and to explore their associations with postoperative outcomes. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 120 adult patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery under CPB at West China Hospital from May 2022 to March 2023 were enrolled. Perioperative immune-cell phenotypes and concentrations of 40 inflammation-related cytokines were measured. The primary outcomes were the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at 24 h after surgery and ΔSOFA (the peak SOFA score within 48 h after surgery minus the preoperative SOFA score). Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), acute kidney injury (AKI), respiratory failure, severe liver injury, and infection. Results: The mean age of enrolled patients was 57±10 years. Of these, 52% (62/120) were male and 90% (108/120) underwent valve surgery. During the rewarming to the end of CPB, neutrophil counts rapidly increased (7.39×10
/L vs preoperative 3.07×10
/L, P<0.001), with significant upregulation of CD11b (7.30×10
/L vs preoperative 3.05×10
/L, P<0.001) and CD54 (7.15×10
/L vs preoperative 2.99×10
/L, P<0.001). Lymphocyte counts increased at the end of CPB (1.75×10
/L vs preoperative 1.12×10
/L, P<0.001) but decreased significantly at 24 h after surgery (0.59×10
/L vs preoperative 1.12×10
/L, P<0.001). Plasma analysis showed that multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines increased during CPB and remained elevated up to 24 h after surgery; five chemokines and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 peaked at the end of CPB. The SOFA score increased from 1 (1, 2) preoperatively to 7 (5, 10) at 24 h after surgery, with a ΔSOFA of 6 (4, 8). Within 30 days after surgery, 48 patients (40.0%) developed AKI, 17 (14.2%) developed infection, 4 (3.3%) developed severe liver injury, 3 (2.5%) developed respiratory failure, and 3 (2.5%) experienced MACE. During the 2-year follow-up, 8 patients (6.7%) experienced MACE and 5 (4.2%) died. Conclusion: Multi-organ dysfunction is common after cardiac surgery under CPB (median ΔSOFA, 6), accompanied by perioperative activation of multiple immune-cell subsets and upregulation of pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and chemotactic mediators. This study provides data-driven evidence and research clues for further investigation of the associations between CPB-related immune perturbations and postoperative organ dysfunction and clinical outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors affecting the early diagnosis of ABO-hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (ABO-HDFN) in neonates with maternal-fetal blood group incompatibility, and to develop a risk prediction model and validate its predictive performance, so as to provide a reference for the early diagnosis of neonates with ABO-HDFN in primary hospitals. Methods: A total of 1 229 neonates with maternal-fetal blood group incompatibility suspected of ABO-HDFN, admitted to our hospital between between June 2021 and September 2024, were enrolled. The sample size was calculated by using the events per variable (EPV) method. The cohort was divided into a modeling group (n=860) and a validation group (n=369), and the results and clinical information of laboratory examination indicators were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore the risk factors affecting the early diagnosis of ABO-HDFN in neonates with maternal-fetal blood group incompatibility. The risk prediction model was developed and internally validated by the Bootstrap method. The goodness-of-fit of the model was evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) test, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive performance of the model. The prediction model was validated by using the validation group data, and the predictive performance of the model was evaluated. Results: Among the 860 neonates with maternal-fetal incompatibility in the modeling group, 346 (346/860, 40.23%) were diagnosed with ABO-HDFN. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified the following as significant risk factors for early diagnosis: the number of postnatal days at specimen collection, maternal type O blood group, parity >1, time of onset for pathologic jaundice, maternal-fetal blood group incompatibility due to A antigen, the level of total bilirubin, and the immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF). A risk prediction model was established, and the calibration degree of the model was validated by the Bootstrap internal validation method, Brier=0.143. The results of H-L test showed that χ
=3.464, P=0.902. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.885. The maximum value of the Youden index was 0.611, the sensitivity was 0.832, and the specificity was 0.778. The results of the validation group showed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.863, with a sensitivity of 0.875 and specificity of 0.735. Conclusion: The risk prediction model developed based on these risk factors has good predictive performance for ABO-HDFN, facilitating early diagnosis of suspected ABO-HDFN cases by clinicians in primary hospitals.

Objective To analyze the causes of HIV-2 specific bands in the Western blot (WB) tests and to understand previous HIV-2 infection status in this city. Methods A total of 68 samples with HIV-2 specific bands in WB were analyzed using two confirmatory reagents. The test results were further analyzed in combination with epidemiological data, nucleic acid testing and gene sequencing. Results When tested with MP reagent, 66 samples (97.06%) were found to be positive for HIV-2 antibody, while the other two were negative or undetermined for HIV-2 antibody. When tested with MIKROGEN reagent, 67 samples (98.53%) were found to be positive for HIV-1 antibody, and one sample was negative for HIV-1 antibody. Further HIV-1 nucleic acid testing was conducted on these samples, and all 68 samples tested positive for HIV-1 RNA, with the results all exceeding 5,000 copies/ml. After BLAST comparison, it was found that the homology similarity of 68 samples to the HIV-1 reference strain sequence was >90%, but there was no similarity with the HIV-2 reference strain sequence. Conclusion The results of the serological test, nucleic acid test and gene sequencing of the 68 samples all have indicated HIV-1 infection. Combined with the epidemiological data, it can be concluded that the double reaction of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in WB tests of these 68 samples is very likely to be a non-specific cross-reaction rather than HIV-2 infection. This study indicates that no HIV-2 infection cases have been found in Chengdu so far.

Aim To explore the mechanism of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide(LbGP)improving aging in rat primary ovarian granulosa cells.Methods This study divided the cells into a normal group,a DOX group,and four different LbGP concentration treatment groups post-DOX intervention.Results Cell proliferation was assessed using CCK-8,EDU,and Ki67 assays,while aging markers and mitochondrial function-related fac-tors were detected using immunofluorescence and West-ern blotting.The results showed that,compared to the DOX group,LbGP treatment significantly increased cell viability(P<0.05)and promoted proliferation(P<0.05).Post LbGP treatment,the β-galactosidase-posi-tive area in cells was significantly reduced compared to the DOX group(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence re-sults indicated that,compared to the DOX group,levels of p21 and γH2AX significantly decreased(P<0.05),while pRB increased(P<0.05)after LbGP treatment.Western blot results showed that,compared to the DOX group,the aging phenotype proteins p21 and p53 significantly decreased(P<0.05),and pRB notably increased(P<0.05)in the LbGP treatment group.The release of cytC into the cytoplasm and the activated caspase-9 significantly decreased(P<0.05);levels of CAMKK2,pAMPK,and mitochondrial calcium homeostasis regulator MCU increased(P<0.05);nuclear energy metabolism-related proteins SirT1,PGC1α/β and ATP5A1 significantly increased(P<0.05);compared to the DOX group,ROS levels significantly decreased after LbGP treatment(P<0.05).Conclusions The results suggest that LbGP can ameliorate DOX-induced aging in rat primary ovar-ian granulosa cells,potentially through the upregulation of the CAMKKβ/AMPK signaling pathway,thereby im-proving mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and increas-ing the expression levels of cell energy metabolism-re-lated regulatory proteins.This provides an experimen-tal basis for LbGP's potential role in supporting the im-provement of ovarian function.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated by anorexia.Methods:This cross-sectional study included patients registered in the RealDTC study from May 2023 to December 2023. Demographic data, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score, modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea questionnaire score, Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) score, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), forced expiratory volume in the first second predicted of percentage (FEV 1%pred), FEV 1/forced vital capacity (FVC), Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) grade, GOLD group, number of acute exacerbations and hospitalizations in the past year, and score of the Functional Assessment of Anorexia Cachexia Therapy-Anorexia/Cachexia Subscale-12 (FAACT-A/CS-12) were collected. Patients with a FAACT-A/CS-12 score ≤30 were diagnosed as having anorexia. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors of anorexia in COPD patients. Results:A total of 617 COPD patients were included, of whom 109(17.7%) had anorexia. Compared with non-anorexia patients, COPD patients with anorexia had higher age, CAT, mMRC and CCQ scores, and more acute exacerbations and hospitalizations in the past year, while body mass index, FEV 1, FEV 1%pred and FEV 1/FVC were lower (all P<0.05). The proportions of patients with primary education or below, GOLD 3-4 grade and GOLD E group were higher in COPD patients with anorexia (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that a CAT score of 10-<20 [odds ratio ( OR)=4.017, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.673-59.645], a CAT score of 20-<30 ( OR=9.686, 95% CI: 3.777-24.842), a CAT score of ≥30 ( OR=78.286, 95% CI: 7.654-800.689) and ≥1 hospitalization in the past year ( OR=2.050, 95% CI: 1.292-3.254) were independent risk factors for anorexia in COPD patients (all P<0.05). Conclusions:COPD patients with anorexia have poor lung function, high symptom burden and high risk of acute exacerbation. Clinicians should pay attention to the management of COPD patients with anorexia and take corresponding intervention measures.
