Objective:To develop a quality control model for anal sphincter ultrasound images and validate its diagnostic performance across multiple centers.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on anal sphincter ultrasound images from seven medical centers in China between May 2019 and June 2022. A total of 7 040 images from 3 116 patients were included and divided into a training set（4 912 images）and a validation set（2 128 images）. The images were classified as standard or non-standard images by three experts. Three models were developed based on different image feature extraction methods：a single-branch model，a multi-branch weighted model，and a multi-branch ensemble model. The diagnostic performance of each model was evaluated using the area under the ROC curve（AUC），sensitivity，specificity，accuracy，positive predictive value，and negative predictive value，respectively. The optimal model was selected and compared with the performance of 4 doctors with varying experience levels. Sixty days later，the images with the assistance of the model's output were reassessed by the doctors to evaluate its impact on manual quality control.Results:① Among the 3 models，the multi-branch ensemble model demonstrated the highest AUC and sensitivity，with an AUC of 0.966（95% CI=0.958 - 0.974），a sensitivity of 91.83%，and a specificity of 91.41%. This model was named M quality. ② M quality's AUC was slightly lower than that of Senior A and B（0.966 vs. 0.976，0.976，and P<0.05），its sensitivity was slightly lower than that of Senior A（91.83% vs. 95.61%， P<0.001）but comparable to Senior B（91.83% vs. 92.89%， P=0.315），its specificity was slightly lower than Senior A and B（91.41% vs. 94.44%，98.18%，and P<0.05）. However，M quality significantly outperformed Junior A and B in AUC and sensitivity（AUC：0.966 vs. 0.850，0.818；sensitivity：91.83% vs. 84.90%，61.46%；all P<0.001），its specificity was higher than that of Junior A（91.41% vs. 80.28%， P<0.001）but lower than that of Junior B（91.41% vs. 95.96%， P<0.001）. ③ With model assistance，Senior B's sensitivity（92.89% vs. 94.20%， P=0.001）and Senior A's specificity（94.44% vs. 96.56%， P<0.001）improved significantly. Junior A and B showed significant improvements in AUC and sensitivity（AUC：0.931 vs. 0.850，0.914 vs. 0.818；sensitivity：91.83% vs. 84.90%，89.53% vs. 61.46%；all P<0.001）. After model assistance，Junior A's specificity increased（93.62% vs. 80.28%， P<0.001），while Junior B's specificity decreased（91.60% vs. 95.96%， P=0.013）. Conclusions:This study develops a quality control model for anal sphincter ultrasound images with robust diagnostic performance，approaching the level of seniors. The model significantly enhances the image quality assessment capabilities of juniors，demonstrating promising clinical application potential.

Objective To extract the core elements and connotation definitions of the concept of organizational resilience of County Medical Community (CMC),in order to explore effective ways to enhance the organizational resilience of CMC.Methods Based on the Atomic spectrum,as of October 31,2023,52 articles related to organizational resilience in the health system were included for concept images extraction,calculating the frequency and occurrence rate of concept images,extracting the concept of organizational resilience in the health system,and deducing the core elements and definitions of the concept of organizational resilience in CMC were derived through the comparison of similarities and differences.Results Although both the healthcare system and the CMC are composite organizations,there are differences in environmental pressure,organizational size,and resource reserves.The concept of organizational resilience of CMC is defined as the advanced process of resilience functions exhibited by CMC in response to emergencies,internal and external threats,and social pressures that constrain the sustainable development of the organization,including redundant preparation,stable recovery,and response to growth,as well as their ability to absorb,adapt,and transform disruptive events.This not only maintains the basic structure and functions of the organization,but also enables the organization to grow against the trend.Conclusion Breaking through the traditional hierarchical structure in terms of structural resilience,achieving a deep integration and coordination mechanism of the medical community horizontally and vertically.Breaking through traditional static planar functions in terms of functional resilience,enhancing the driving force within the medical community through dynamic growth mechanisms.

Proband 1, female, 51 years old, with no history of blood transfusion and history of pregnancy, was in acute phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia; Proband 2, male, 53 years old, with no history of blood transfusion, was a patient with liver cancer. Probands 1 and 2 showed mixed appearance with forward typing in routine ABO blood group identification, and the hospital sent samples to our blood center for further identification. The experiment found that proband 1' s forward type was A with mixed appearance, while its reverse type was A, and proband 2' s foward type was B with mixed appearance, while its reverse type was B. Two probands were tested with short tandem repeat (STR) to exclude the mixed appearance image caused by chimera. ABO blood group identification was performed on Proband 1's parents. Subsequently, exon 1-7 of ABO gene was sequenced in two probands, and the results showed that probands 1 and 2 were O01/O01, which was inconsistent with the serological results. Primers were designed for ABO blood group gene A102 specific site 467 and B101 specific site 526, and the A102 and B101 alleles damaged by diseases were detected in proband 1 and proband 2. It is speculated that the reason for the inconsistency between ABO blood group serology and gene sequencing results may be the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of ABO blood group genes caused by diseases.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and safety of simultaneous bilateral adrenal vein sampling(AVS)using two 4F-MPA1 catheters via right elbow vein access.Methods A total of 51 consecutive patients with primary aldosteronism,who received simultaneous bilateral AVS using two 4F-MPA1 catheters(one of the two catheters was shaped into pig tail figure)via right elbow vein access at Xiangyang Municipal Central Hospital between October 2021 and October 2022,were enrolled in this study.The used catheter,the success rate of simultaneous bilateral AVS,and the incidence of complications rate were calculated.Results The 4F-MPA1 catheter was used for all of the right AVS,while a specially shaped 4F-MPA1 catheter was used for the main trunk vein AVS of the left adrenal gland and the central vein AVS of the left adrenal gland.The success rate of simultaneous bilateral AVS was 92.2%(47/51).Adrenal hematoma occurred in one patient(1.96%).Conclusion The technique of simultaneous bilateral AVS using two 4F-MPA1 catheters via right elbow vein access is simple to operate,less traumatic,and clinically safe and feasible.However,due to the small sample used in this study,the clinical value of this technique still needs further investigation and verification.

Objective To investigate the serological and molecular characteristics of twenty blood samples carrying ABO?AW.37 allele and to analyze ABO allelic enhancement.Methods The ABO phenotype of the twenty samples was de-termined by serological methods and the genotype of 1-7 ABO exons was analyzed by Sanger sequencing.Results Sequen-cing analysis showed that all twenty samples contained a c.940A>G(p.Lys314Glu)mutation of A allele,which was defined as ABO?AW.37.When ABO?AW.37 and B alleles were inherited simultaneously in 9 cases,in forward typing anti-A anti-bodies all agglutinated and the serological phenotype was Aw B.Among the 11 cases with ABO?AW.37 and O alleles inherited simultaneously,there was no agglutination of anti-A in forward typing.For absorption and elution tests,5 cases were weakly positive and the serological phenotype was Ael,while 6 cases were negative for absorption and elution tests and the serologi-cal phenotype was O type.Conclusion Allelic enhancement occured when both ABO?AW.37 allele and B allele were in-herited simultaneously.When ABO? AW.37 was inherited simultaneously with O allele,the serological phenotype was Aelor O type and attention should be paid to blood type identification.

【Objective】 To investigate the HBV infection of TMA initially reactive but discriminatory test non-reactive samples(NDR) after the individual donation nucleic acid detection(ID-NAT)of TMA, and analyze its serological and molecular biological characteristics, so as to improve the safety of blood transfusion. 【Methods】 121 970 samples of blood donors in the center from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 were routinely tested by serology and nucleic acid of ID NAT, and 21 HBsAg(-)/ NDR samples were random collected. After the plasma samples were concentrated by ultra-high speed centrifugation, the gene sequences of BCP/PC, pre-S/S and S region were amplified by Nested PCR. The S region sequence was also sequenced to analyze the viral genotype and amino acid variation. At the same time, the original TMA retest discriminatory test was adopted, and Roche MPX 2.0 was used for ID-NAT, and the samples was not virus-concentrated.NDR samples were supplemented with electrochemiluminescence for anti-HBc and anti-HBs quantitative detection. 【Results】 Of the 121 970 samples screened, 117(0.096%) were found to be HBsAg(-)/NDR samples, of which 21 samples underwent a confirmation test. Sixteen(76.2%) cases were positive for HBV DNA by TMA retest, 7(33.3%) positive for HBV DNA by Roche MPX 2.0 ID-NAT, 9(42.9%) confirmed by Nested PCR, and 8(38.1%) positive by any two methods. Test results of serological markers were as follows: 17(80.9%) positive anti-HBc and 8(38.1%) positive anti-HBs. Eight infected cases were confirmed to have occult hepatitis B infection(OBI). The gene sequence of S region was successfully amplified and sequenced in 3 cases, all of which belonged to C type. Two mutations occurred in specimen S-2, all of which were outside MHR. There were 13 mutations in sample S-6, 6 mutations outside MHR and 7 mutations inside MHR. 【Conclusion】 Nearly 40% of NDR samples can still be detected as HBV DNA positive after virus concentration. Anti-HBc has a high detection rate, and there may be a potential risk of HBV transmission. The current NAT detection sensitivity should be improved. The amino acid mutation of S gene sequence may be related to OBI formation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the molecular reasons of weak expression of B antigen on the red cell. METHODS: Serological test for blood group was carried out, including red cell and plasma grouping, and anti-A1 and anti-H testing, and confirming weak A or B antigens by adsorption and elution. Exons 1-7 were sequenced directly, and one of them was cloned and sequenced. RESULTS: All of the 23 samples showed the weak B antigen by serological method. The alleles of the subgroups were identified by DNA sequencing, including 2 Bel subgroup, 4 B3 subgroup, 14 Bw subgroup, 2 CisAB subgroup and a novel allele. The novel allele showed a nucleotide substitution 662G>A in the exon 7, and the sequence was submitted to Blood Group Antigen Gene Mutation Database, and the novel allele was named Bel10. CONCLUSION Nucleotide substitution in exon results in blood subgroup, which showed that the antigens were weakened, and Bw phenotype was the most frequently subgroup.
