Objective: To validate the performance of the Procleix UltrioPlex E assay (Grifols, Spain) on the Procleix Panther automated nucleic acid detection platform, which employs the TMA method to simultaneously detect HIV-1/HIV-2/HCV/HBV/HEV viruses, and to evaluate its value for screening transfusion-associated infectious diseases. Methods: In accordance with the requirements of ISO15189"Application of the Guidelines for the Accreditation of Quality and Capabilities of Medical Laboratories in the Field of Molecular Diagnostics (CNAS-CL02-A009: 2018)", "Guidelines for Performance Validation of Molecular Diagnostic Testing Procedures (CNAS-GL039: 2019)", and the "Technical Operating Procedures for Blood Banks (2019 Edition)", this study validated the reagent's performance in terms of analytical sensitivity validation, performance consistency validation, interference resistance, and cross-contamination resistance. Results: Probit analysis revealed that the 95% detection limits (95% confidence interval) for HBV, HCV, HIV, and HEV were 2.0 IU/mL, 1.5 IU/mL, 18.0 IU/mL and 3.7 IU/mL, respectively, which were consistent with the minimum detection limits stated in the kit's package insert and were comparable to the Procleix Ultrio Elite kit. Both kits were used to test the performance validation serum plate simultaneously, yielding results consistent with the serum plate (Kappa=1), indicating stable performance. Detection of medium-and low-concentration lipemia and weakly positive hemolysis samples demonstrated good interference resistance. Cross-contamination performance validation showed that the kit exhibited excellent cross-contamination resistance. Conclusion: The Procleix UltrioPlex E nucleic acid detection kit enables combined detection of HIV-1, HIV-2, HCV, HBV, and HEV, allowing single-test screening for multiple viruses in donor blood. The kit's analytical performance is stable and meets basic laboratory requirements, making it suitable for screening transfusion-associated infectious diseases in blood banks.

This study explored the effects and underlying mechanism of Raf kinase inhibitory protein(RKIP)on apoptosis in mast cells sensitized by Echinococcus granulosus cyst fluid.Bone marrow-derived mast cells(BMMCs)were isolated and cultured from RKIP knockout(KO)and wild-type(WT)C57BL/6 mice.Cells were divided into control and sensitized groups.The sensitized group was incubated for 24 h in RPMI1640 medium containing 10%serum from mice infected with E.granulosus,then activated for 3 h or 6 h with E.granulosus cyst fluid.The control group was incubated for 24 h in RPMI1640 medium,and then received an equal vol-ume of PBS.Cells and supernatants were collected for analysis.Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD117 and FcεRⅠα on BMMCs.The levels of β-hexosaminidase,IL-4,and TNF-α in the supernatant were quantified with ELISA.Western blot analy-sis was used to assess expression changes in RKIP,apoptosis-related proteins,and pathway proteins in BMMC before and after sensi-tization.Flow cytometry analysis revealed that after 4 weeks of induction,the CD117 and FcεRⅠα double-positivity rates on both WT and KO BMMC exceeded 90%.ELISA indicated that the E.granulosus cyst fluid resulted in significantly greater β-hexosaminidase re-lease(F=16.88,P<0.05),and levels of IL-4(F=16.51,P<0.05)and TNF-α(F=9.78,P<0.05)in the KO sensitized group than the WT sensitized group.With respect to the WT control group,the WT sensitized group showed significantly down-regulated pro-tein expression levels of RKIP(F=8.20,P<0.05)and Bcl-2(F=101.40,P<0.01)after 3 h,but significantly up-regulated levels of p-PI3K(F=8.04,P<0.05),p-Akt(F=32.52,P<0.01),p-P65(F=13.29,P<0.05),and cleaved-caspase-3(F=46.34,P<0.01).With respect to the WT sensitized group,the KO sensitized group showed significantly up-regulated protein expression of p-PI3K(F=8.45,P<0.05),p-Akt(F=8.58,P<0.05),p-P65(F=11.02,P<0.05),and Bcl-2(F=84.50,P<0.001)after 3 h,but significantly down-regulated expression of cleaved-caspase-3(F=15.66,P<0.05).In conclusion,RKIP may inhibit the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway,thereby inducing apoptosis in mast cells sensitized by E.granulosus cyst fluid.This process may help ease aller-gic reactions caused by mast cells in echinococcosis,thus offering a promising new approach for preventing and treating such reactions.

Objective:To develop a deep learning model based on 3D super-resolution reconstruction technology and to analyze its feasibility and effectiveness in predicting paraglottic space invasion in hypopharyngeal cancer.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted involving 382 patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between January 2014 and December 2020. The cohort included 364 males and 18 females, with a mean age of 62±7 years. Patients were divided into a training set ( n=300) and a test set ( n=82) based on enrollment time. A generative adversarial network was used to perform 3D super-resolution reconstruction on contrast-enhanced CT images, improving spatial resolution by 16 times. A 2.5D deep learning strategy was employed to construct Resnet-NR and Resnet-SR models based on conventional and super-resolution images, respectively, to predict whether the paraglottic space was invaded. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC). A multi-reader multi-case study was conducted to assess the impact of the artificial intelligence (AI) model on clinicians′ diagnostic capabilities. Results:The super-resolution model Resnet-SR achieved the highest accuracy in both the training set (AUC=0.87, 95% CI: 0.84-0.90) and the test set (AUC=0.88, 95% CI: 0.81-0.96), significantly outperforming traditional clinical indicators (T stage, N stage, tumor diameter, and pathological differentiation degree) (AUC range: 0.55-0.70, all P<0.05). In comparison, the conventional-resolution model Resnet-NR achieved AUCs of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.77-0.84, P=0.005) and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.71-0.89, P=0.184) in the training and test sets, respectively. Using Resnet-SR to assist clinical decision-making improved the diagnostic accuracy of junior physicians (AUC=0.793 without AI assistance vs. AUC=0.871 with AI assistance, P=0.012) and significantly reduced diagnosis time for clinicians of all experience levels (86.5 s without AI assistance vs. 82.5 s with AI assistance, t=2.01, P=0.032). Conclusion:This study successfully develops a deep learning model based on 3D super-resolution reconstruction technology, which can assist in preoperative prediction of paraglottic space invasion in hypopharyngeal cancer. The AI-assisted tool improves diagnostic accuracy for junior physicians and enhances diagnostic efficiency for clinicians across all experience levels.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture aimed at awakening the mind and opening the orifices, when combined with a qi-tonifying and blood-circulating decoction, in the treatment of post-stroke dysphagia due to qi deficiency and blood stasis. Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted involving 86 patients with post-stroke dysphagia due to qi deficiency and blood stasis who were admitted to the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion at Yan'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to March 2023. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, with 43 cases in each group, using a random number table method. The control group received conventional treatment, while the treatment group received acupuncture aimed at awakening the mind and opening the orifices combined with a qi-tonifying and blood-circulating decoction. Both groups were treated for 1 month. Clinical efficacy, swallowing function, serological indicators, floating index, and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, the Standardized Swallowing Assessment score in the treatment group was (18.23 ± 2.04) points, which was significantly lower than that in the control group [(22.52 ± 4.38) points, t = 5.82, P < 0.05]. The Water-Swallowing test score in the treatment group was (2.77 ± 0.55) points, which was significantly higher than that in the control group [(2.00 ± 0.42) points, t = 7.30, P < 0.05]. The level of superoxide dismutase in the treatment group was (147.54 ± 21.03) kU/L, which was significantly higher than that in the control group [(128.31 ± 18.54) kU/L, t = 4.50, P < 0.05]. The Pulsatility Index in the treatment group was (0.72 ± 0.25), which was significantly lower than that in the control group [(0.83 ± 0.24), t = 0.74, P < 0.05]. The cerebral vascular reserve in the treatment group was (42.28 ± 5.69)%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group [(35.45 ± 4.31)%, t = 2.03, P < 0.05]. The Swallowing Quality-of-Life Questionnaire score in the treatment group was (76.33 ± 11.54) points, which was significantly higher than that in the control group [(68.02 ± 12.16) points, t = 3.25, P < 0.05]. The response rate in the treatment group was 97.67% (42/43), which was significantly higher than that in the control group [86.05% (37/43), χ2 = 3.89, P < 0.05]. Conclusions:The use of acupuncture for awakening the mind and opening the orifices, combined with a qi-tonifying and blood-circulating decoction, can significantly enhance clinical efficacy and improve the quality of life for patients with post-stroke dysphagia due to qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome compared with conventional treatment.

Aim To explore the mechanism of Con-grong Shujing granule(CSGs)in the treatment of Par-kinson's disease(PD)by network pharmacology,mo-lecular docking and parallel reaction monitoring(PRM)technology.Methods The active components of CSGs and the target genes of Parkinson's disease were obtained through the database.The intersection targets of drugs and diseases were selected to construct the"drug-active ingredient-target"and protein interac-tion network.The intersection target genes were impor-ted into David database for GO and KEGG enrichment analysis,and the main components were docked with key targets.27 SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group(n=9),model group(n=9)and treat-ment group(n=9).On day 1,7 and 14 of treatment,PRM analysis was used to detect the changes in the specific peptides of key target proteins in the substantia nigra of rats.Results The main components of CSGs wereTanshialdehyde,Baicalein,Quercetin and Kaempferol.The most important targets for the treat-ment of PD were TP53,AKT1,EGFR,HSP90 AA1 and STAT3.KEGG analysis mainly enriched MAPK,PI3K-Akt and neurotrophic factor signaling pathway.The molecular docking between core components and core targets showed that the binding of drugs and targets had good activity.PRM analysis of key proteins found that the target peptide expression levels of ASK1,JNK1 and JNK3 were different among groups(P＜0.05).Con-clusion CSGs can alleviate ERS,inhibit apoptosis and play a neural protective role through the ASK1-JNK pathway.
