Acquired Hemophilia A is an acquired bleeding disorder characterized by reduced FⅧ activity due to the presence of autoantibodies against anticoagulant factor Ⅷ in the circulation. Laboratory tests are typically characterized by prolonged isolated activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Clinically, it often manifests as severe bleeding, and 50% of AHA patients can identify the cause. This article reports on a patient with post-traumatic AHA who rapidly improved after antibody removal and bypass replacement therapy, followed by wound healing following surgical intervention. A review of relevant literature is also conducted to enhance clinicians' awareness of AHA, which presents with normal coagulation initially and gradually develops into prolonged APTT accompanied by bleeding manifestations, aiming for early diagnosis and timely treatment.

Mechanical ventilation(MV)provides life support for critically ill respiratory patients,but in the meantime can cause fatal ventilator-induced lung injury(VILI),and the latter remains a major challenge in respiratory and critical care medicine,because the pathological mechanism has not been fully elucidated.Recent studies show that on the one hand,in the lung with VILI,there exists airway collapse at multi-sites of an individual airway,which can not be explained by traditional airway collapse models.But on the other hand,under MV conditions,airway smooth muscle cells(ASMC)exhibit abnormal mechanical behaviors,accompanied by regulation of Piezo1 expression and endoplasmic reticulum stress.These phenomenons indicate that the MV-induced abnormal mechanical behavior of ASMC is closely related to multiple airway collapse and VILI.Therefore,by studying the MV-induced changes of ASMC mechanical behaviors and their relationship with airway collapse in lung injury,as well as the related mechanochemical signal coupling process,it is expected to reveal a novel mechanism of MV-associated airway collapse and lung injury from the perspective of cell mechanics.In this review,the recent research progress of airway collapse during MV,the regulation of ASMC mechanical behavior by MV-related high stretch,especially the related mechanochemical signal coupling mechanism is summarized.These advances may provide a novel insight for exploring the roles of ASMC abnormal mechanical behavior in the pathological mechanism of VILI,alternative targets of drug intervention for prevention and treatment of VILI,as well as for optimizing the ventilation mode in clinical practice.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics of abnormal karyotypes of fetal sex chromosome aneuploidy(SCA)and pregnancy outcomes in 101 fetal cases.Methods A retrospective study was conducted among 7 821 pregnant women who underwent successfully prenatal karyotyping diagnosis at Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People's Hospital from January 2016 to December 2021.All women received amniotic fluid cell culture karyotype analysis and copy number variation sequencing(CNV-seq)detection and 101 cases of SCA detected were analyzed.Results A total of 101 cases were detected by SCA,with a detection rate of 1.29％.Among them,Klinefelter syndrome accounted for 33.66％,superestrogenism syndrome accounted for 17.82％,superandrogenic syndrome accounted for 12.87％,turner syndrome accounted for 10.89％,other aneuploidy abnormalities[including 48,XXXY:1 case;69,XXY(80％)/68,XXY,-22(20％):1 case]accounted for 1.98％,and chimerism accounted for 22.77％.The prenatal indications for 101 cases of SCA were as follows:age ≥ 35 years,high/critical risk of serum biochemical screening,fetal ultrasound abnormalities,abnormalities in non-invasive prenatal testing(NIPT),history of adverse pregnancy and childbirth and other reasons(1 case of cerebral palsy in pregnant women and 4 cases of bilateral thalassemia)accounted for 53.47％(54/101),4.95％(5/101),17.82％(18/101),51.49％(52/101),12.87％(13/101),4.95％(5/101),respectively.Partial cases had multiple prenatal diagnostic indications.Meanwhile,23 fetuses diagnosed with sex chromosome chimerism,of which 22 cases were validated by karyotype and CNV seq,11 pregnant women chose to terminate their pregnancy,with the rest chose to continue pregnancy.Conclusion The combination of prenatal karyotype diagnosis,serological testing,prenatal ultrasound and other prenatal screening methods can help improve the detection rate of SCA,while CNV-seq can provide more clinical evidence for genetic counseling of pregnant women with sex chromosome chimerism.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness of a 6-month Ba Duan Jin exercise program in improving the balance of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A two arms, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1 028 community residents aged 60-80 years in 40 communities in 5 provinces of China. Participants in the intervention group (20 communities, 523 people) received Ba Duan Jin exercise 5 days/week, 1 hour/day for 6 months, and three times of falls prevention health education, and the control group (20 communities, 505 people) received falls prevention health education same as the intervention group. The Berg balance scale (BBS) score was the leading outcome indicator, and the secondary outcome indicators included the length of time of standing on one foot (with eyes open and closed), standing in a tandem stance (with eyes open and closed), the closed circle test, and the timed up to test.Results:A total of 1 028 participants were included in the final analysis, including 731 women (71.11%) and 297 men (28.89%), and the age was (69.87±5.67) years. After the 3-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 3.05 (95% CI: 2.23-3.88) points ( P<0.001). After the 6-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 4.70 (95% CI: 4.03-5.37) points ( P<0.001). Ba Duan Jin showed significant improvement ( P<0.05) in all secondary outcomes after 6 months of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusions:This study showed that Ba Duan Jin exercise can improve balance in community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80. The longer the exercise time, the better the improvement.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of catheter fracture in totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A retrospective nested case-control study was used to establish a cohort of 3 517 patients with TIVAP and infusion port maintenance in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2012 to December 2021, and they were divided into the fracture group and the control group. The general information questionnaire, TIVAP Catheter Fracture Related Factors Questionnaire and TIVAP Catheter Fracture Clinical Characteristics Questionnaire were used to collect general and clinical data of patients in two groups. The risk factors of TIVAP catheter fracture were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:The incidence of TIVAP catheter fracture was 0.6% (21/3 517) . Logistic regression analysis showed that the operator's experience of placing ports, whether the patient performed TIVAP maintenance regularly, time for patients carrying the infusion port and whether TIVAP were repeatedly blocked were influencing factors for the occurrence of catheter fracture in TIVAP.Conclusions:Nursing staff should fully understand the risk factors of TIVAP catheter fracture, identify high-risk groups in the early stage and carry out targeted nursing interventions to reduce the incidence of TIVAP catheter fracture.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of palmitoylation modification in regulating the activity of non-receptor tyrosine kinase Fyn. Methods The intracellular Fyn activity was detected by applying fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technology, and the mechanism was investigated by combining with Fyn palmitoylation deficiency and C-terminal Src kinase ( CSK ) plasmid co-expression. ResultsExperimental data showed that single loss of either of ( C3, C6) palmitoylation sites resulted in higher Fyn activity, and C6 seemed more significant. It is known that CSK membrane translocation occurred after activation. FRET assay confirmed that CSK could down-regulate the activity of Fyn in cells, but could not effectively regulate the activity of Fyn(GSS) with the loss of palmitoylation sites. Conclusions The results in this study support the hypothesis on Fyn regulation by spatial localization, namely, non-palmitoylated Fyn (GSS) is less effective in the inhibitory regulation by CSK on cell membrane, thus promoting constitutive high activity expression
