Objective: To explore the laboratory testing methods and clinical management strategies for immune hemolytic anemia induced by Ceftizoxime sodium drug-dependent antibodies. Methods: Patient blood samples were subjected to blood typing, direct antiglobulin test, and unexpected antibody identification. Ceftizoxime sodium drug-dependent antibodies were detected using the immune complex method and drug-sensitized red cell method. The properties and titers of the drug antibodies were further assessed. Flow cytometry was used to assess the complement activation capacity of the drug antibodies in vitro. Results: Direct antiglobulin tests (IgG and C3d) were positive. Ceftizoxime sodium drug-dependent antibodies were identified using both the immune complex method and the sensitized red cell method, their titers significantly increased following the addition of the drug. Flow cytometry confirmed the complement activation capability of these antibodies and identified 30 minutes as the optimal time for activation in vitro. The patient's condition improved rapidly after drug withdrawal and supportive transfusion, resulting in a favorable outcome. Conclusion: Ceftizoxime sodium can cause drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia via complement activation mediated by drug-dependent antibodies. Serological testing is essential for diagnosing drug-induced hemolytic anemia. Clinicians should be vigilant for this adverse reaction. The offending drug must be promptly discontinued, and supportive care should be initiated upon the onset of symptoms.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of mumps in Guangxi from 2012 to 2024, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies. Methods Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the incidence data of mumps in Guangxi from 2012 to 2024. Results A total of 159 873 mumps cases were reported from 2012 to 2024 in Guangxi, with an average annual reported incidence of 25.41/100 000, and no death. Mumps occurred every month, with the peak incidence mainly concentrated in April to July and October to January of the next year. There were 96,118 male cases (29.43 /100 000), and 63 755 female cases (21.07 /100 000). The male to female ratio was 1.40:1, and the difference between male and female was significant (χ²=4 321.276，P＜0.05). The annual incidence of mumps showed a certain periodic change, with the incidence peak and trough alternating every 4 - 5 years. The majority of patients were under 15 years old, accounting for 85.32% of the total number of cases. The patients mainly included students, preschool children and scattered children. The highest average incidence was in Nanning City with 40 231 cases (42.08/100 000), and the lowest was in Qinzhou City with 3 466 cases (8.16/100 000). From 2012 to 2024, a total of 210 mumps outbreaks with 4 483 cases were reported in Guangxi. Conclusion The incidence of mumps in Guangxi from 2012 to 2024 shows a periodic change and obvious seasonality. People under 15 years old are the key group at risk of mumps. The prevention and control of the epidemic of mumps in schools and kindergartens should be strengthened. It is suggested to carry out long-term monitoring of mumps as well as immune effect research, and continue to maintain a high vaccination rate of 2 doses of mumps-containing vaccines.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of serum Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) and chemokine 21 (CCL21) expression for the pulmonary fibrosis progression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD).Methods:A prospective study method was used. One hundred and eight patients with RA-ILD (RA-ILD group) and 108 patients with simple rheumatoid arthritis (RA group) from September 2020 to July 2023 in Jincheng People's Hospital were selected. The patients with RA-ILD were treated with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and anti fibrotic drugs. Before treatment, the serum DKK1, CCL21, C-reactive protein (CRP), anti cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA), rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) salivary liquefied glycan antigen 6 (KL-6) were detected; the 28 joints disease activity score (DAS28) and Warrick score were assessed. The patients with RA-ILD were followed up for 1 year, and the occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis progression was recorded. The patients with pulmonary fibrosis progression were included in the progressive subgroup and vice versa in the stable subgroup. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for predicting pulmonary fibrosis progression within 1 year in patients with RA-ILD. The predictive value of serum DKK1 and CCL21 for predicting the pulmonary fibrosis progression within 1 year in patients with RA-ILD was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The decision curve of serum DKK1 and CCL21 to predict the pulmonary fibrosis progression within 1 year in patients with RA-ILD was plotted using the R language package.Results:The DKK1 in RA-ILD group was significantly lower than that in RA group: (76.02 ± 9.80) ng/L vs. (86.44 ± 9.26) ng/L, the CCL21 was significantly higher than that in RA group: (202.02 ± 25.86) ng/L vs. (172.42 ± 18.35) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The patients with RA-ILD were followed up for 1 year, 25 cases (23.15%) developed pulmonary fibrosis progression (progressive subgroup), and 83 cases did not develop pulmonary fibrosis progression (stable subgroup). The Warrick score, CCL21, ACPA and KL-6 in progressive subgroup were significantly higher than those in stable subgroup: (11.80 ± 3.56) scores vs. (7.75 ± 1.81) scores, (224.53 ± 27.26) ng/L vs. (195.25 ± 21.32) ng/L, (452.46 ± 38.35) kU/L vs. (414.37 ± 31.63) kU/L and (466.35 ± 42.32) kU/L vs. (416.82 ± 38.34) kU/L, the DKK1 was significantly lower than that in stable subgroup: (68.65 ± 8.24) ng/L vs. (78.24 ± 9.15) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in DAS28, RF, ERS and CRP between the two subgroups ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that Warrick score, DKK1, CCL21, ACPA and KL-6 were independent risk factors for predicting pulmonary fibrosis progression within 1 year in patients with RA-ILD ( OR = 2.601, 0.752, 1.110, 1.062 and 1.038; 95% CI 1.227 to 5.517, 0.578 to 0.978, 1.019 to 1.209, 1.009 to 1.118 and 1.001 to 1.076; P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve of DKK1 and CCL21 for predicting pulmonary fibrosis progression within 1 year in patients with RA-ILD was 0.779 and 0.795, with optimal cutoff values of 74.750 and 207.615 ng/L. The area under the curve of DKK1 combined with CCL21 for predicting pulmonary fibrosis progression within 1 year in patients with RA-ILD was 0.873. The decision curve analysis result showed that the DKK1 combined with CCL21 for predicting pulmonary fibrosis progression within 1 year could improve the predictive value (the maximum benefit rate was 23.15%). Conclusions:Compared with RA patients, RA-ILD patients have decreased serum DKK1 levels and increased CCL21 levels. In patients with RA-ILD, the low expression of DKK1 and high expression of CCL21 are the risk factors of pulmonary fibrosis progression, and detecting serum levels of DKK1 and CCL21 can predict the risk of pulmonary fibrosis progression.

Objective To identify risk factors associated with lymphatic leakage after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(LRP)and to develop a machine learning-based nomogram for predicting such outcomes to support clinical prevention strategies.Methods We retrospectively analyzed perioperative data from 248 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer between January 2020 and January 2024.Independent risk factors were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.A predictive model was developed,and its diagnostic performance was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).Five-fold cross-validation was performed to evaluate the model's generalizability.A nomogram was subsequently constructed to facilitate individualized risk quantification.Results Among the 248 patients,89(35.9%)developed lymphatic leakage,while 159(64.1%)did not.Independent risk factors for lymphatic leakage included intraopera-tive lymph node dissection(OR=5.415,95%CI:2.167～13.532,P<0.001),intraoperative plasma transfusion(OR=2.952,95%CI:1.524～5.718,P=0.001),and postoperative fasting duration of≥2 days(OR=1.412,95%CI:1.089～1.829,P=0.009).The predictive model showed good discrimination and calibration(AUC=0.711,95%CI:0.647～0.776,P<0.001;sensitivity:0.764;specificity:0.597).Model robustness was confirmed through five-fold cross-validation(training set AUC=0.822;test set AUC=0.829).The nomogram provided a clinically useful tool for quantifying individual risk of lymphatic leakage.Conclusions Intraoperative lymph node dissection,plasma transfusion,and postoperative fasting lasting≥2 days are independent risk factors for lymphatic leakage following radical prostatectomy.The validated predictive model demonstrates favorable clinical utility.

The prevalence of food allergy in children has been increasing globally, resulting in a significant economic burden and seriously impacting the quality of life on children and their families. Domestic clinicians in China face challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric food allergy, with both underdiagnosis and overdiagnosis being common issues. Based on current domestic and international guidelines and research evidence, the first evidence-based guideline for pediatric food allergy covering diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention was published in China, and provided recommendations on clinical hot topics. This article interpretated the diagnosis part of this guideline to enhance the understanding of allergists and pediatricians regarding the diagnosis of food allergy and improve the standardization of pediatric food allergy diagnosis and treatment in China.

Objective:To improve the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in children by analyzing their clinical characteristics and outcomes.Methods:Case summary.The general data, clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, liver pathology, treatment and outcomes of 6 AIH children diagnosed at Xi′an Children′s Hospital from January 2019 to March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:All the 6 patients were diagnosed with AIH-1, and 5 of them were female, accounting for 83.3%.The median age of onset was 6.2 years old.Three cases (50.0%) had insidious onset.Elevated hepatic aminotransferase levels were detected incidentally in 2 cases (33.3%).One case (16.7%) presented symptoms resembling those of viral hepatitis.Two cases (33.3%) were accompanied by extrahepatic autoimmune diseases.All the children tested positive for anti-nuclear antibodies with a titer ≥1∶80 or 1∶100.Four cases (66.7%), 3 cases (50.0%), and 1 case (16.7%) tested positive for anti-smooth muscle antibodies, anti-perinuclear neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies and anti-soluble liver antigen, respectively.Liver pathology showed infiltration of lymphocytes-plasma cells and moderate or severe interfacial inflammation in all the 6 cases.Two cases (33.3%) had rosettes.All the patients were given oral corticosteroids combined with Azathioprine or Mycophenolate mofetil.The patients were followed up for 24.8 (12.0-52.0) months, during which 3 cases (50.0%) had partial remission and 3 cases (50.0%) achieved complete remission.Four cases (66.7%) showed transaminase fluctuations during corticosteroid reduction or cessation.Conclusions:Autoantibodies and liver pathology are important evidence for diagnosing AIH in children.Immunosuppressants have a high remission rate in the treatment of this disease, but transaminase fluctuations are prone to occur during corticosteroid reduction or cessation.

Objective:To explore the application effect of visual eye dressings in patients after bilateral strabismus surgery.Methods:A total of 60 patients who underwent bilateral strabismus surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, from March to August 2024, were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. After surgery, the control group was treated with conventional eye dressings, while the observation group was treated with visual eye dressings. The daily living ability, unplanned dressing changes were compared between the two groups.Results:The observation group had higher daily living ability scores and fewer unplanned dressing changes than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The use of visual eye dressings in patients after bilateral strabismus surgery has a positive effect on maintaining daily living ability and reducing the frequency of unplanned dressing changes.
