Objective: To investigate the distribution of IgM anti-A/B titers among group O whole blood donors in Jiangsu, establish a low-titer threshold, and analyze the demographic characteristics of low-titer donors, so as to provide data for recruiting low-titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) donors. Methods: Plasma samples from 1 009 group O whole blood donors were tested for IgM anti-A and anti-B titers using the microplate technique. The distribution of antibody titers was analyzed to establish a low-titer threshold. The distribution trends of titers across different demographic groups were also analyzed. Results: The peak titer for anti-A, anti-B were 64 (31.5%), 4 (23.8%), respectively, The proportion of donors with both anti-A and anti-B titers below 64 was 97.3% (982/1 009). The mean anti-A titer was higher than anti-B titer. Anti-A titers were higher in female donors than in male donors (P<0.05). The anti-A titers differed significantly among different age groups (P<0.05). However, no significant difference in titers was observed based on the number of donations (P>0.05). Conclusion: A titer of 64 can be used as the reference threshold of LTOWB in Jiangsu. Male donors of appropriate age are more suitable than female donors for establishing an emergency panel of LTOWB mobile donors.

In recent years,the prevalence of porcine infectious pleuropneumonia caused by Actinoba-cillus pleuropneumoniae(APP)has significantly increased in large-scale pig farms in China.The i-solation,identification,and biological characteristic testing of newly prevalent strains have impor-tant clinical significance.This study isolated four suspected APP strains(named XB2T-56,JMTLP-443,YD-THB-755,SYZJ-291)from lung samples of pig farms suspected of outbreaks of porcine infectious pleuropneumonia in Hubei Province.They were identified by PCR amplification,and multiplex PCR serological typing,the biological properties were tested by detecting the growth a-bility,hemolytic activity and biofilm forming ability.The drug resistance of the strains was ana-lyzed by drug sensitivity testing,and the virulence of one strain(XB2T-56)in mice and piglets was evaluated.The PCR identification result showed that all four clinical isolates were APP serotype 15 strains.These four strains grew slower than serotype 1 standard strains,had weaker hemolytic activity,but could form stronger biofilms.These strains are all less sensitive to cephalosporin,tylo-sin,sulfamethoxazole,and doxycycline,but sensitive to cefotaxime and enrofloxacin.The mice and piglet infection experiments showed that the isolated strain XB2T-56 has strong virulence.Artifi-cial intranasal infection causes acute death in piglets,with typical symptoms of pleuropneumonia in the lungs,and serotype 15 strains can be isolated from the lesion site.This study indicates that the APP serotype 15 strain has strong virulence,providing new date for the clinical epidemiological characteristics of APP.

Brain computer interface(BCI)is a cutting-edge technology that involves the cross-fertilisation of multiple disci-plines such as neuroscience,computer science,bioengineering,electrical engineering,psychology,etc.It can establish a direct communication path between the brain and external devices,providing the possibility for patients with spinal cord injury(SCI),stroke,amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other conditions to restore their motor or communication abilities.From the first re-cording of brain electrical activity by Hans Berger,to the gradual development of BCI technology,it shows the continuous pro-gress of BCI technology.According to the signal acquisition method,BCI can be classified as noninvasive and invasive types,and the application scenarios of the two experimental paradigms are different.This review explores the current applications of BCI in spinal cord injury,including the treatment of paraplegic patients and the relief of neuropathic pain.BCI devices will develop to-wards the directions of personalization,household use and intelligence,and BCI technology is expected to demonstrate its unique value and potential in more fields.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of adenosine load-resting gated myocardial perfusion imaging for three-vessel disease in coronary artery disease(CAD)patients using coronary angiography as the gold standard.Methods A retrospective study was conducted,including 318 patients diagnosed with CAD who underwent coronary angiography at Yanan Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022.Based on the results of coronary angiography,the 318 CAD patients were divided into a three-vessel disease group(n=166)and a non-three-vessel disease group(single and double vessel disease group,n=152).All the subjects underwent adenosine stress-resting GMPI within two weeks.Adenosine stress-resting GMPI myocardial perfusion parameters(SSS,SRS,SDS),cardiac function parameters(LVEF,LVEDV,LVSV)and left ventricular mechanical contraction synchronization parameters(PSD,PHB)were collected.The diagnostic value of adenosine stress-resting gated myocardial perfusion imaging for three-vessel disease in CAD was explored.Results Among the perfusion parameters,SSS had the highest AUC of 0.781,while sLVEF had the highest AUC of 0.748 among cardiac function parameters,and sPHB had the highest AUC of 0.724 among synchrony parameters.The AUCs of combined parameters were all higher than those of perfusion parameters,cardiac function parameters,and synchrony parameters(P＜0.05).The changes in Δ LVESV and Δ LVEF between the three-vessel disease group and the non-three vessel disease group showed statistical significance(P＜0.05).Conclusion The perfusion,cardiac function and synchronization parameters of adenosine stress-resting gated myocardial perfusion imaging have high diagnostic value for three-vessel coronary heart disease,and the combined detection of the three parameters provides even greater diagnostic value for three-vessel coronary heart disease.

The prevalence of Class III malocclusion varies among different countries and regions. The populations from Southeast Asian countries (Chinese and Malaysian) showed the highest prevalence rate of 15.8%, which can seriously affect oral function, facial appearance, and mental health. As anterior crossbite tends to worsen with growth, early orthodontic treatment can harness growth potential to normalize maxillofacial development or reduce skeletal malformation severity, thereby reducing the difficulty and shortening the treatment cycle of later-stage treatment. This is beneficial for the physical and mental growth of children. Therefore, early orthodontic treatment for Class III malocclusion is particularly important. Determining the optimal timing for early orthodontic treatment requires a comprehensive assessment of clinical manifestations, dental age, and skeletal age, and can lead to better results with less effort. Currently, standardized treatment guidelines for early orthodontic treatment of Class III malocclusion are lacking. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the etiology, clinical manifestations, classification, and early orthodontic techniques for Class III malocclusion, along with systematic discussions on selecting early treatment plans. The purpose of this expert consensus is to standardize clinical practices and improve the treatment outcomes of Class III malocclusion through early orthodontic treatment.
