Objective: To analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with red blood cell transfusion reactions, the usage of red blood cell preparations, and the differences in the composition ratio of adverse reactions based on multi-center data from the Haemovigilance Network, in order to reveal the clinical characteristics of red blood cell transfusion and its underlying issues. Methods: Clinical data of patients who experienced transfusion reactions after red blood cell transfusion in the Haemovigilance Network from 2018 to 2023 were collected. The demographic characteristics of patients who experienced transfusion reactions with different types of red blood cell preparations, the utilization of these preparations, and the differences of the composition ratios of transfusion reactions were analyzed. Count data were expressed as numbers (n) or percentages (%), and comparisons between groups were performed using the Chi-square test. Results: Red blood cell transfusion reactions were more common in females (53.56%), with the majority of patients aged 50-69 years (35.54%). The Han polulation accounted for the vast majority of patients (92.77%), and patients in the hematology and obstetrics/gynecology departments had a relatively high proportion of transfusion reactions (13.26% and 14.26%, respectively). Leukocyte-reduced red blood cells and suspended red blood cells were the most common types of transfusion reactions reported among red blood cell preparations. Allergic reactions and non-hemolytic febrile reactions were the most common transfusion reactions, and there were significant differences in the composition ratios of allergic reactions (χ =869.89, P<0.05) and non-hemolytic febrile reactions (χ =812.75, P<0.05) across various types of red blood cell preparations. Conclusion: There are differences in the demographic characteristics and composition ratio of transfusion reactions among different red blood cell preparations. The management of red blood cell transfusion reactions should be tailored to patient characteristics and conditions, and the selection and use of blood products should be optimized to reduce or avoid the occurrence of transfusion reactions, such as considering the use of washed red blood cells for patients with a history of transfusion allergies or those prone to allergies.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of the integrated schistosomiasis control programme in Sichuan Province during the stage moving from transmission interruption to elimination (2015—2023), so as to provide insights into formulation of the schistosomiasis control measures during the post-elimination stage. Methods Schistosomiasis control data were retrospectively collected from departments of health, agriculture and rural affairs, forestry and grassland, water resources, and natural resources in Sichuan Province from 2015 to 2023, and a database was created to document examinations and treatments of human and livestock schistosomiasis, and snail survey and control, conversion of paddy fields to dry fields, ditch hardening, rivers and lakes management and building of forests for snail control and schistosomiasis prevention. The completion of schistosomiasis control measures was investigated, and the effectiveness was evaluated. Results A total of 20 545 155 person-times received human schistosomiasis examinations in Sichuan Province during the period from 2015 to 2023, and 232 157 person-times were seropositive, with a reduction in the seroprevalence from 2.10% (44 299/2 107 003) in 2015 to 1.12% (9 361/837 896) in 2023 (χ² = 7.68, P < 0.001). The seroprevalence of human schistosomiasis appeared a tendency towards a decline in Sichuan Province over years from 2015 to 2023 (b = −8.375, t = −10.052, P < 0.001); however, no egg positive individuals were identified during the period from 2018 to 2023, with the prevalence of human Schistosoma japonicum infections maintained at 0. Expanded chemotherapy was administered to 2 754 515 person-times, and medical assistance of advanced schistosomiasis was given to 6 436 persontimes, with the treatment coverage increasing from 46.80% (827/1 767) in 2015 to 64.87% (868/1 338) in 2023. Parasitological tests for livestock schistosomiasis were performed in 35 113 herd-times, and expanded chemotherapy was administered to 513 043 herd-times, while the number of fenced livestock decreased from 121 631 in 2015 to 103 489 in 2023, with a reduction of 14.92%. Snail survey covered 433 621.80 hm² in Sichuan Province from 2015 to 2023, with 204 602.81 hm² treated by chemical control and 4 637.74 hm² by environmental modifications. The area of snail habitats decreased from the peak of 5 029.80 hm² in 2016 to 3 709.72 hm² in 2023, and the actual area of snail habitats decreased from the peak of 8 585.48 hm² in 2016 to 473.09 hm² in 2023. The mean density of living snails remained low across the study period except in 2017 (0.62 snails/0.1 m²). Schistosomiasis control efforts by departments of agriculture and rural affairs in Sichuan Province included conversion of paddy fields to dry fields covering 153 346.93 hm², hardening of 6 110.31 km ditches, building of 70 356 biogas digesters, replacement of cattle with 227 161 sets of machines, and captive breeding of 21 161 070 livestock from 2015 to 2023, and the control efforts by departments of water resources included rivers and lakes management measuring 5 676.92 km and renovation of 2 331 irrigation areas, while the control efforts by departments of forestry and grassland included building of forests for snail control and schistosomiasis prevention covering 23 913.33 hm², renovation of snail control forests covering 8 720 hm² and newly building of shelterbelts covering 764 686.67 hm². All 63 endemic counties (cities and districts) had achieved the criterion for schistosomiasis elimination criteria in Sichuan Province by the end of 2023. Conclusion Following the integrated control efforts from 2015 to 2023, remarkable achievements have been obtained in the schistosomiasis control programme in Sichuan Province, with all endemic counties successfully attaining the schistosomiasis elimination target at the county level.

ObjectiveThis study explores the methods of lung tissue extraction and fixation required for pathological studies of fetal rats, based on the unique physiological structure of fetal rat lung tissue and existing lung tissue fixation techniques for adult rats. MethodsSix pregnant adult SD rats at 20.5 days of gestation were subjected to cesarean section to obtain fetal rats. Four healthy fetal rats with similar body weight, vital signs, and respiratory status were selected from each pregnant rat, and they were randomly divided into the following groups using a random number table: direct lung infiltration group, lung infiltration group after intratracheal infusion, whole-body infiltration group of fetal rats, and whole-body infiltration group after intratracheal infusion of fetal rats. To systematically compare and analyze the anatomical morphology under different fixation methods, lung tissues from four groups of fetal rats were harvested, perfused, and fixed, and the gross morphology of lung tissues in each group was observed. Paraffin sections were prepared and stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E). The histological morphology of the whole lung, alveoli, and bronchi was further examined under optical microscopy. ResultsIn the direct lung infiltration group, the hilar structures were unclear, lung lobation was indistinct, the shape was irregular, lung cavities were small, and alveoli and bronchi were shrunken. In the lung infiltration group after intratracheal infusion, the hilar structures were clear, lobation was pronounced, the shape was regular, lung cavities were large, and alveoli and bronchi were full. Both the whole-body infiltration group and whole-body infiltration group after intratracheal infusion of fetal rats exhibited visible lungs, hearts, skins, and other organs. The lung tissues of both groups showed obvious lobulation, irregular shape, and damage at the margins of lung lobes. In the whole-body infiltration group, the thoracic cavities of the fetus were flattened, lung cavities were small, and alveoli and bronchi were shrunken. In the whole-body infiltration group after intratracheal infusion of fetal rats, the fetal thoracic cavities were full, lung cavities were large, and alveoli and bronchi were relatively full. ConclusionThe lung infiltration after intratracheal infusion method for fetal rat lung tissue fixation outperforms direct lung infiltration, whole-body infiltration of fetal rats, and whole-body infiltration after intratracheal infusion of fetal rats in terms of preservation of the lung tissue's original morphology, paraffin sectioning, staining, and pathological observation and analysis. The embedding, sectioning, and staining processes are also simple and save consumables. Therefore, intratracheal infusion followed by lung infiltration method is recommended for fixation in histopathological observation of fetal rat lung tissue.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and economy of inclisiran in the treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with hypercholesterolemia. METHODS A rapid health technology assessment （HTA） approach was employed. HTA reports， systematic reviews（SR）/meta-analyses， and pharmacoeconomic studies related to inclisiran were systematically identified through comprehensive searches of Chinese and English databases， including PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI and Wanfang database， supplemented by HTA institutional repositories. The search timeframe spanned from database inception to April 2025. The results of the studies were descriptively analysed and summarized through literature screening， data extraction and literature quality assessment. RESULTS The final analysis included 22 studies， comprising one HTA report， 15 SR/meta-analyses， and 6 pharmacoeconomic evaluations. Regarding therapeutic efficacy， compared with control group， inclisiran could significantly reduce the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol， proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9， total cholesterol， triacylglycerol， apolipoprotein B， and lipoprotein（a）， increase the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol， and reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. In terms of safety， the inclisiran group showed no significant difference compared with the control group in the risk of total adverse events， serious adverse events， or non-serious adverse events； however， an increased incidence of injection site reactions was observed， most of which were mild. In terms of cost-effectiveness， there were discrepancies in research conclusions both domestically and internationally. More studies indicated that inclisiran did not demonstrate cost-effectiveness advantage and would require an appropriate price reduction to meet cost-effectiveness criteria. CONCLUSIONS Inclisiran demonstrates favorable efficacy and acceptable safety in treating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with hypercholesterolemia， though its economic profile requires improvement.

Objective:To compare the short-term effect and adverse reaction of venetoclax(VEN)combined with azacitidine(AZA)versus"7+3"regimen in newly diagnosed elder patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:From January 2021 to January 2022,the clinical data of seventy-nine newly diagnosed elder patients with AML at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University and the Shanxi Bethune Hospital were retrospectively analyzed,including VEN+AZA group(41 cases)and"7+3"group(38 cases).The propensity score matching(PSM)method was used to balance confounding factors,then response,overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS)and adverse reactions between the two groups were compared.Results:The ORR of VEN+AZA group and"7+3"group was 68％and 84％,respectively,and the CRc was 64％and 72％,respectively,the differents were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).In the VEN+AZA group,there were 5 non-remission(NR)patients,4 with chromosome 7 abnormality(7q-/-7),and 1 with ETV6 gene mutation.Median followed-up time between the two groups was 8 months and 12 months,respectively,and the 6-months OS was 84％vs 92％(P=0.389),while 6-months PFS was 84％vs 92％(P=0.258).The main hematological adverse reactions in two groups were stage Ⅲ-Ⅳmyelosuppression,and the incidence rate was not statistically different(P＞0.05).The median time of neutrophil recovery in two groups was 27(11-70)d,25(14-61)d(P=0.161),and platelet recovery was 27(11-75)d,25(16-50)d(P=0.270),respectively.The infection rate of VEN+AZA group was lower than that of"7+3"group(56％vs 88％,P=0.012).The rate of lung infections of two groups was 36％and 64％,respectively,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.048).Conclusion:The short-term effect of VEN+AZA group and"7+3"regimens in eldrly AML patients are similar,but the VEN+AZA regimen had a lower incidence of infection.The presence of chromosome 7 abnormality(7q-/-7)may be a poor prognostic factor for elderly AML patients treated with VEN+AZA.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units，and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 147，36.3%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=928，29.3%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=369，11.7%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=296，9.4%）and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci（ n=192，6.1%）. The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）were 26.4%（303/1 147）and 66.7%（619/928），respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome，rifampin，compound sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%（2/369），and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions（ χ2=14.578， P=0.002），while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions（ χ2=15.195， P=0.002）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=13.519 and 12.136， P<0.001）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions（per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022）were higher than those in economically less advanced regions（per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=9.969 and 7.606， P=0.002和0.006）. Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China， Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time；the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China，with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.

Objective:To develop a predictive model for intrapartum fever related to chorioamnionitis in parturients undergoing epidural labor analgesia.Methods:This was a retrospective study. The parturients with intrapartum fever (axillary temperature ≥38 ℃) who received epidural labor analgesia from January 2020 to December 2022 in Sichuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected as model group, and parturients with intrapartum fever who received epidural labor analgesia from January to October 2023 in Sichuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected as validation group. The parturients in model group were divided into histological chorioamnionitis stage ≥Ⅱ group (HCA≥Ⅱ group) and histological chorioamnionitis stage <Ⅱ group (HCA<Ⅱ group) according to the results of placental histopathological examination. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk factors for intrapartum fever related to chorioamnionitis in parturients, and then a nomogram model was established. The discrimination of the model was verified by the area under the the receiver operating characteristic curve. The consistency of the model was verified by the calibration curve, and the clinical effectiveness of the model was determined by the decision curve. The validation dataset was used to further evaluate the model.Results:A total of 308 parturients were finally included in model group and 99 parturients in validation group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the gestational age, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, c-reactive protein concentration and maximum body temperature were independent risk factors for intrapartum fever related to chorioamnionitis in parturients undergoing epidural labor analgesia ( P<0.05). Based on this, a nomogram risk prediction model was developed. The area under the curve (95% confidence interval) was 0.844 (0.744-0.944) in model group and 0.812 (0.674-0.950) in validation group. The calibration curve showed that the prediction probability of the model had good consistency with the actual probability of diagnosis. The decision curve showed that the threshold probability of the prediction model in model group and validation group was 10%-98% and 10%-78%, respectively. Conclusions:A nomogram prediction model for intrapartum fever related to chorioamnionitis is successfully established based on the gestational age, c-reactive protein concentration, meconium-stained amniotic fluid and maximum body temperature in parturients undergoing epidural labor analgesia. The model has good predictive performance and clinical value.

This article reported a case of neurodevelopmental disorder accompanied by spastic diplegia and visual impairment with the manifestation of small fetal head circumference. Prenatal ultrasonography performed at 33 +5 weeks of pregnancy revealed small fetal head circumference (-2.61SD) and oligohydramnios. Whole-exome sequencing identified a heterozygous frameshift variation of c.1623_1624insA (p.R542Tfs*30) in the CTNNB1 gene (NM_001904.4) of the fetus. No phenotypic abnormalities or corresponding gene variations were detected in the parents, suggesting it was a de novo variation. Based on the clinical manifestations, the fetus was diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder accompanied by spastic diplegia and visual defects. Following genetic counseling, the pregnant woman chose to terminate the pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum Irisin,long pentraxin 3(PTX3),human metas-tasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1(MALAT1)levels and the severity of diabetic retinopathy(DR)and the value of combined diagnosis.Methods Eighty-five patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)combined with DR at Cangzhou Central Hospital from April 2022 to April 2023 were selected as the DR group,85 patients with T2DM alone were selected as the non-DR group,and 85 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group during the same period.Pa-tients in the DR group were further divided into the proliferative DR(PDR)group(38 patients)and the non-PDR group(47 patients)based on whether DR was in the proliferative phase.Clinical data of patients in the DR group were collected,including gender,diastolic pressure,age,systolic pressure,disease course,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),body mass in-dex,hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c),smoking history,triglyceride(TG),drinking history,peak systolic velocity(PSV),peak end-diastolic velocity(PEDV),resistance index(RI),fasting insulin(FINS),family history of diabetes,total cholesterol(TC),and homa-insulin resistance(HOMA-IR).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum levels of Irisin and PTX3 in each group of patients,and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the ser-um level of MALAT1.The correlations between serum levels of Irisin,PTX3 and MALAT1 and the severity of DR were ana-lyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient.The influencing factors of the DR severity were identified using the Logistic regression.The value of serum Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 levels in diagnosing DR alone was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The value of regimens containing and not containing serum Irisin,PTX3,and MAL-AT1 levels in diagnosing DR was analyzed using the ROC curve,net reclassification index(NRI),and integrated discrimina-tion improvement(IDI)index.Results The serum levels of Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 were compared among the three groups of patients,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.001).The disease course of patients in the PDR group was longer than that in the non-PDR group,the PSV,PEDV and serum Irisin level were lower than those in the non-PDR group,while the RI,FPG,HbA1c,TG,FINS,HOMA-IR,and serum PTX3 and MALAT1 levels were higher than those in the non-PDR group(all P＜0.05).The serum Irisin level in DR patients was negatively correlated with the severity of DR(r=-0.512,P＜0.001),while the PTX3 and MALAT1 levels were positively correlated with the severity of DR(r=0.497,0.573,both P＜0.05).The Logistic regression analysis showed that the disease course,FPG,HbA1c,TG,FINS,HOMA-IR,PSV,PEDV,RI,and serum levels of Irisin,PTX3 and MALAT1 were influencing factors for the DR progression(allP＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 levels in diagnosing DR was 0.743,0.811,and 0.773,respectively.Compared with conventional diagnostic protocols,the AUC of the new diagnostic protocol containing serum levels of Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 significantly increased(Z=2.708,P=0.007),and the NRI and IDI were 0.039(95％CI:0.022-0.069)and 0.026(95％CI:0.014-0.047),respectively(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum Irisin level in DR patients decreases,while the serum PTX3 and MALAT1 levels increase,which are closely related to the severity of DR.Diagnostic plans containing serum Irisin,PTX3,and MALAT1 indicators have high diagnostic value.
