Objective: To investigate the precise detection methods for weak partial D type 15 and evaluate their implications for blood transfusion safety, along with the development of corresponding strategies. Methods: A combination of serological methods, including the microplate method, indirect antiglobulin tube method, and microcolumn gel card method, was employed to identify RhD-negative and RhD variant samples. RhD-negative samples were screened for the presence of RHD genes using whole-blood direct PCR amplification. Subsequently, RhD variant samples and RhD-negative samples containing RHD genes underwent full-coding-region sequencing of the RHD gene to confirm their genotypes. The genotyping results were further correlated with the serological test findings for comprehensive analysis. Results: Among 615 549 first-time healthy blood donors, 3 401 samples with an RhD-negative phenotype and 156 samples with RhD variant were identified. Of the 3 401 RhD-negative samples, 1 054 were found to harbor RHD genes. Gene sequencing analysis of the 156 RhD variants and the 1 054 serological negative samples revealed that 89 samples contained the RHD 15 (c. 845G>A) allele. Conclusion: The integration of serological testing methods and genotyping technologies for the precise determination of RhD blood type plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and compatibility of blood transfusions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of iguratimod combined with the Chinese medicine Runzaoling in the treatment of primary Sjögren's syndrome （pSS）. MethodSeventy-two patients treated in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM） from January 2021 to June 2022 who met the Western medical diagnosis of pSS and had the TCM syndrome of Yin deficiency and heat toxin syndrome were randomly assigned into an observation group and a control group， with 36 patients in each group. The observation group was treated with iguratimod combined with Runzaoling， and the control group was treated with iguratimod. The treatment in both groups lasted for 12 weeks. The clinical symptoms， EULAR Sjogren's syndrome patient reported index （ESSPRI）， EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index （ESSDAI）， erythrocyte sedimentation Rate （ESR）， C-reactive protein （CRP）， immunoglobulin （IgG）， Schirmer score， and saliva flow of the two groups were determined before and after treatment. Furthermore， the incidence of adverse reactions was compared between the two groups. ResultThe total response rate in the observation group was 75.0% （27 patients with response and 9 patients with no response）， which was higher than that （61.11%， 22 patients with response and 14 patients without response） in the control group （P<0.05）. After treatment， the ESSPRI， ESSDAI， and TCM syndrome scores in both groups decreased and the decreases were more obvious in the observation group than in the control group （P<0.05）. The treatment in both groups recovered the ESR， CRP， IgG， Schirmer score， and saliva flow （P<0.05）. Moreover， the observation outperformed the control group in terms of the ESR， CRP， IgG， and saliva flow （P<0.05） and had no significant difference in the Schirmer score compared with the control group. During the treatment period， 2 patients in the observation group had nausea， and 1 patient had an abnormal liver function， which were relieved after symptomatic treatment and did not affect the treatment. In the control group， 1 patient withdrew from the study due to rashes and showed no special discomfort in the follow-up 4 weeks， and 1 patient had nausea， which was relieved after symptomatic treatment. ConclusionIguratimod combined with Runzaoling has good clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of pSS.

Objective To study the effect of cobalt-60 gamma-ray (⁶⁰Co-γ) radiation on the structure of Nialamide, compare the anti-inflammatory activity of irradiation products, and explore the mechanism of action. Methods After ⁶⁰Co-γ irradiation of nialamide at a dose of 50 kGy, five known compounds were obtained (2-6). The viability of RAW 264.7 (mouse mononuclear macrophage leukemia) cells treated with these compounds was determined by CCK-8 assay. The secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE₂) and the content of nitric oxide (NO) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Griess method. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected using DCFH-DA fluorescent probe. The expression levels of cell-induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX-2), nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB), and IκB were detected using Western blot. Results The products of nialamide after irradiation did not significantly affect RAW264.7 cell viability (P > 0.05) but showed a strong anti-inflammatory effect (P < 0.01). Compared with nialamide, compounds 2, 3, 4, 6 significantly reduced NO content in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells (P < 0.01), and compound 4 had the most significant effect. Moreover, compound 4 significantly reduced the content of IL-6, TNF-α, PGE₂, and ROS (P < 0.05) as well as the expression of iNOS, COX-2, NF-κB, and IκB (P < 0.05) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Conclusion The chemical structure of nialamide is changed after irradiation with ⁶⁰Co-γ, and its product compound 4 shows strong anti-inflammatory activity, which may be related to inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing the release of inflammatory factors. Radiation technology can provide new insights into the changes of molecular structures and physiological properties of natural products.

Objective:A comparison was made between the predictive efficacy of the Padua Score and the simplified Assessment Scheme Recommended by Chinese experts (hereinafter referred to as the Simplified Method) for the risk assessment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in medical inpatients, aiming to provide a reference for the clinical selection of appropriate risk assessment tools.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, selecting 42 257 internal medicine inpatients discharged from Peking University Shenzhen Hospital between May 1, 2021, and April 30, 2022, using a convenience sampling method. Data collected included general information upon admission, VTE-related information, occurrences of VTE during hospitalization, and results from the two assessment tools. The predictive efficacy of the tools was evaluated by plotting ROC curves and calculating AUC, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and predictive accuracy.Results:Among 42 257 patients, there were 21 065 male and 21 192 female participants, aged (55.04 ± 15.17) years old. The incidence rate of VTE among medical inpatients was 2.24% (948/42 257). The AUC for Padua Score and the Simplified Method in medical patients were 0.735 (95% CI 0.717-0.753) and 0.582 (95% CI 0.561-0.602), respectively. Sensitivities were 49.4% and 18.2%, specificities were 89.6% and 98.1%, positive predictive values were 9.9% and 17.7%, negative predictive values were 98.7% and 98.1%, and predictive accuracy were 88.7% and 96.3%, respectively. The departments with the highest incidence rates of VTE during hospitalization were rehabilitation medicine, emergency, neurology, geriatrics, and respiratory medicine. Within these departments, the AUC values for the Padua Score and the Simplified Method were as follows: 0.864 and 0.612, 0.782 and 0.653, 0.792 and 0.664, 0.850 and 0.551, 0.867 and 0.664, respectively. Conclusions:The Padua Score demonstrated better predictive efficacy compared to the Simplified Method. However, the Simplified Method had more accessible assessment criteria and could serve as an initial VTE risk screening tool in emergency situations or when complete data are not available.

Objective: To prepare an inactivated hepatitis A vaccine using a attenuated strain of hepatitis A virus (HAV) H2 and to analyze its immunizing dose, so as to provide the reference for development and production of inactivated hepatitis A vaccines. Methods: Human embryonic lung diploid cells (KMB17) were infected with attenuated HAV H2 strain to proliferate the virus, then the cells containing viruses were harvested, extracted and purified. The obtained virus concentrate was prepared into vaccine bulk and test vaccines with 1 280 EU/mL antigen content. Vaccine testing was carried out according to the inactivated hepatitis A vaccine standards specified in the Part Ⅲ of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020 edition). A total of 110 mice were randomly divided into 11 groups, including 5 dose groups (80, 160, 320, 640 and 1 280 EU/dose) of the test vaccine and the reference vaccine, as well as the adjuvant control group. Mice were immunized twice by intraperitoneal injection, their serum HAV antibodies were detected, and the geometric mean titer (GMT) and positive conversion rate of antibodies were analyzed to evaluate the immunising dose of the vaccine. Results: The antigen content and viral titer of the virus harvest solution were 5 120 EU/mL and 8.33 lgCCID50/mL, respectively. The removal rate of foreign protein reached 98.05% and the recovery rate of antigen was 66.25%. The test vaccine met the requirements of Part Ⅲ of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020 edition). The GMTs of HAV antibodies in the test vaccine and the reference vaccine dose groups after the second immunization were more than twice higher than those after the first immunization. Regardless of primary immunization or secondary immunization, the GMTs (log2) of HAV antibodies in the test vaccine groups with doses of 160 EU/dose and above were higher than those in the 80 EU/dose group (all P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant differences between the dose groups of 160 EU/dose and above (all P>0.05). The antibody positive conversion rate of 160 EU/dose and above of the test vaccine was 100.00% after the secondary immunization. Conclusions The inactivated hepatitis A vaccine of attenuated H2 strain tested in this study demonstrates strong immunogenicity in mice, suggesting its potential as a candidate vaccine. The preliminary analysis indicates an immunizing dose of 320 EU/dose for children and 640 EU/dose for adults.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of six tumor markers, namely carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha fetoprotein (AFP), carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), and carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724), in the pathological types of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the preoperative tumor markers and clinical pathological data of 131 EOC patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from January 2010 to May 2022, and follow-up was conducted. Patients were divided into high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) group and other groups (mucinous cancer, endometrioid carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, mixed carcinoma) according to pathological type and tumor grade. We investigated the correlation between the levels of six tumor markers and the pathological types of EOC. By drawing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and comparing the area under the curve (AUC), we also investigated the diagnostic value of single and combined detection of six tumor markers for the pathological types of EOC. K-M survival analysis was used to explore the impact of tumor markers on patient prognosis.Results:The levels of CA125 and CA153 in the HGSOC group were significantly higher than those in other pathological groups ( Z=-2.571, -5.416, all P<0.05); CA153 had good diagnostic performance for HGSOC (AUC=0.777), and the combined detection of CA125+ CA153, CA153+ AFP, CA153+ CA199, CA153+ CA724, CA153+ CE had better diagnostic performance than the single detection of CA125 and CA153 (AUC=0.781, 0.784, 0.809, 0.803, 0.773). Among them, the combined detection of CA125, CA153, and CA199 had the best diagnostic performance (AUC=0.816, Youden′s index 0.532); the elevated levels of CA153 and CA153+ CA199 indicated poor recurrence free survival (PFS) in patients (all P<0.05), while the elevated levels of CA153+ CA199 was an independent risk factor for recurrence in patients ( P=0.022); the elevated levels of CA153+ CA199 and CA125+ CA153+ CA199 indicated poorer OS in patients (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The serum levels of CA125 and CA153 are elevated in patients with HGSOC. Elevated levels of CA153, CA153+ CA199, and CA125+ CA153+ CA199 are associated with poor prognosis in patients. The combined detection of CA125, CA153, and CA199 has the best diagnostic efficacy and can serve as a potential biomarker for assisting in the diagnosis of HGSOC and evaluating patient prognosis.

Thrombotic disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.Despite breakthroughs in anticoagulant therapy over the past decade,traditional vitamin K antagonists have been replaced by direct oral anticoagulants(DOACs)that selectively target coagulation factor Ⅹa or Ⅱa.However,for the growing population with concomitant diseases,there is still a lack of satisfactory treatment options.Coagulation-targeted therapy is a challenging task because it interferes with the delicate balance between procoagulant and anticoagulant activities.Epidemiological and animal studies have identified factor Ⅺ as a potential target for anticoagulation,because factor Ⅺ deficiency or inhibition can prevent thrombosis and is associated with little or no bleeding.Based on the concept of contact hemostasis,this review describes the basic principles of the development of coagulation factor Ⅺ inhibitors,elaborates on the pharmacological characteristics of existing factor Ⅺ inhibitors,and summarizes the current situation of clinical trial research,to provide some insight for the development of new anticoagulant drugs and clinical anticoagulant treatment.

Objective To understand the drug resistance surveillance situation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Hainan Province from 2018 to 2022, analyze the drug resistance status and trends of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Hainan Province, and provide scientific basis for the formulation of tuberculosis prevention and treatment strategies. Methods A total of 2 481 sputum culture-positive isolates from pulmonary tuberculosis patients collected from 2018 to 2022 were subjected to strain identification and drug sensitivity testing. Strain identification was performed using the p-nitrobenzoic acid (PNB) inhibition test, and the sensitivity test for six anti-tuberculosis drugs, including Rifampicin (RFP), Isoniazid (INH), Streptomycin (SM), Ethambutol (EMB), Ofloxacin (OFX), and Kanamycin (KM), was conducted using the solid culture proportion method. The drug sensitivity results were statistically analyzed. Results Of the 2 481 isolates, 2 211 were identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). The overall drug-resistance rate was 19.9% (441/2 211). The drug resistance rates for initial-treatment and retreatment patients were 15.7% (271/1 729) and 35.3% (170/482) respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=90.65, P<0.01). The mono-resistance rate (MR) was 6.0% (132/2 211), with monoresistance rates of 5.6% (97/1 729) for initial-treatment patients and 7.3% (35/482) for retreatment patients, with no statistically significant difference (χ2=1.83, P>0.05). The overall poly-resistance rate (PR) was 4.1% (91/2 211), with polyresistance rates of 3.5% (61/1 729) for initial-treatment patients and 6.2% (30/482) for retreatment patients. The overall multidrug-resistance rate (MDR) was 8.0% (176/2 211), with multidrug resistance rates of 4.2% (72/1 729) for initial-treatment patients and 21.6% (104/482) for retreatment patients. According to the χ2 test, the retreatment group had significantly higher rates of polyresistance and multidrug resistance than the initial-treatment patient group, with statistically significant differences (χ2=6.94, P<0.01; χ2=155.98, P<0.01). The resistance rates to individual drugs in descending order were 11.6% (251/2 211) to INH, 11.4% (255/2 211) to RFP, 8.6% (191/2 211) to SM, 8.2% (181/2 211) to OFX, 4.0% (88/2 211) to EMB, and 1.6% (35/2 211) to KM. Conclusions The overall drug-resistance rate, poly-resistance rate, and multidrug resistance rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in retreatment patients in Hainan Province are higher than those in initial-treatment patients. Standardized treatment and management of TB patients are particularly important.
