Objective To evaluate the safety of the 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (tetanus toxoid/diphtheria toxoid) (PCV13-TT/DT) among age-eligible children in Tianjin through a combination of active and passive surveillance methods. Methods From July 15, 2023, to August 31, 2024, active surveillance for adverse events following immunization (AEFI) was conducted among recipients of PCV13-TT/DT at 18 selected vaccination clinics in Tianjin. Recipients were monitored through on-site observation or telephone follow-up within 30 minutes after vaccination and on days 1, 3, 7, and 28. Passive surveillance for AEFI was conducted among recipients of PCV13-TT/DT at other vaccination clinics across the city. The incidence of AEFI was analyzed using descriptive epidemiological methods. Results A total of 24 916 recipients of PCV13-TT/DT were observed, with 440 AEFI cases reported, resulting in an overall incidence rate of 176.59 per 10 000. The incidence rate of AEFI in active surveillance was 813.79 per 10 000, significantly higher than that in passive surveillance (20.49 per 10 000; P< 0.001). The incidence rates of general reactions, abnormal reactions, and coincidental cases in active surveillance were 744.44 per 10 000, 8.16 per 10 000, and 61.19 per 10 000, respectively, all of which were higher than those in passive surveillance (18.49 per 10 000, 0.50 per 10 000, and 1.50 per 10 000), with P values < 0.05. General reactions were mainly characterized by fever, local redness, and local induration. Abnormal reactions included angioedema and allergic rash. Coincidental cases were mainly infections. No severe adverse reactions occurred. Conclusion The large-scale vaccination of PCV13-TT/DT after its launch has good safety, and continuous strengthening of vaccine safety monitoring is needed.

To understand the current epidemiological status and biological characteristics of avian paramyxoviruses(APMV)in wild birds in China,a total of 1 384 fecal samples of wild birds were collected in eight provinces(autonomous regions),including Ningxia,in 2023,to detect avian pa-ramyxovirus infections by viral isolation and RT-PCR.Positive samples were subjected to F gene sequence amplification and genetic evolutionary analyses.The results showed that 10 strains of APMV were isolated and identified from 1 384 wild bird feces samples with a positive rate of 0.72％.Out of the 10 strains,4 strains were APMV-1,which was in the same branch to the Ameri-can goose APMV-1 strain and had the homology ranging from 93％to 97.3％.Three strains of APMV-4 were in the same branch with the Russian duck APMV-4 strain and the Russian pintail APMV-4 strain,with homology ranging from 99.1％to 99.5％.Three strains were APMV-6,they were in the same branch with the Russian ruddy bladdered duck APMV-6 strain,with homology ranging from 98.7％to 99.20％.The intracerebral inoculatable pathogenicity index(ICPI)of the four strains for 1-day-old chicks ranged from 0 to 0.48,which was low in pathogenicity for chick-ens.The above results enriches the epidemiological information and the biological characteristics of avian paramyxovirus in wild birds in China,which provides a reference for the early warning,scien-tific prevention and control of this disease.

Objective:In order to clarify the ABO phenotype and genotype,and explore the molecular biological mechanism,serological detection,genotyping and gene sequencing were performed on an upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage patient with inconsistent forward and reverse ABO blood typing.Methods:ABO forward and reverse blood typing,H antigen identification,capillary centrifugation test and salivary substance detection were performed by classical serological method,moreover,polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer(PCR-SSP)was used for ABO genotyping,ABO gene 1-7 exons were sequenced by Sanger analysis in order to identify mutation.Results:Mixed field agglutination with anti-A,anti-AB and no agglutination with anti-A1 were appeared in the forward typing tests,agglutination with B cells but no agglutination with A1 cells and O cells were appeared in the reverse typing tests.3+agglutination strength was showed with anti-H.In capillary centrifugation experiment,erythrocyte after isolation in proximal part and distal end had same strength of agglutination with anti-A.Substances A and H were detected in saliva.The patient was assigned an A3 phenotype according to serological characteristics.Sequencing results of ABO gene 1-7 exons showed c.261delG,c.467C＞T,c.865A＞G,in which,865A＞G was the first discovered mutation,and this new mutation had been submitted to GenBank with accession number PP187306.Conclusion:A novel site mutation c.865A＞G is reported in this study,and this new mutation can result in a replacement of Met with Val at residue 289(p.Met289Val)and lead to an A3 phenotype.

Objective:To investigate the impact of postoperative complications on adverse outcomes following curative-intent resection for gallbladder cancer (GBC).Methods:The multi-center real-world study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 629 patients with GBC, who were admitted to 14 medical centers including The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, from April 2020 to April 2024 were collected. There were 225 males and 404 females, aged (64±10)years. Patients underwent open curative-intent resection for GBC. Observation indicators: (1)surgery, postoperative complica-tions and adverse outcomes; (2) analysis of risk factors affecting postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and population attributable fraction (PAF). Missing data in predictor variables were addressed using multiple imputation with chained equations, while cases with missing outcome variables were addressed using the "multiple imputation then deletion (MID)" strategy. The severity of multicollinearity among independent variables was assessed using the variance inflation factor (VIF) test. Multivariable possion regression models with log link and robust error variance were construc-ted incorporating restricted cubic splines (3 knots) to address nonlinear relationships in continuous variables, calculating adjusted relative risk ( RR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval ( CI). Adjusted PAF was calculated for each imputed dataset using the AF package of R software, with subsequent pooling performed according to Rubin's rules. Results:(1) Surgery, postoperative complications and adverse outcomes. All 629 patients underwent curative-intent resection for GBC, of which 143 cases had postoperative complications, including 68 cases of intra-abdominal ascites, 39 cases of pulmonary infection, 21 cases of bile leakage, 12 cases of intra-abdominal hemorrhage, 11 cases of liver failure, 10 cases of pan-creatic fistula, 10 cases of wound infection, 10 cases of gastroparesis, 7 cases of cholangitis, 7 cases of sepsis. The same patient could have more than one kind of complication. Of 629 patients, there were 19 cases of postoperative 90-day death and 11 cases of missing data, 42 cases with post-operative 90-day reoperation and 7 cases with missing data, 44 cases with postoperative 90-day readmission and 3 cases with missing data, 155 cases with prolonged postoperative hospital stay and 3 cases with missing data. (2) Analysis of risk factors affecting the postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and PAF. Results of multivariate analysis showed that pulmonary infection and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day mortality ( RR=3.74, 12.15, 95% CI as 1.18-11.83, 1.98-74.48, P<0.05). Pulmonary infection demons-trated the highest PAF as 4.61% (95% CI as 3.94%-5.28%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, and intra-abdominal hemorrhage were independent risk factors for post-operative 90-day reoperation ( RR=4.80, 3.62, 3.46, 4.99, 95% CI as 2.49-9.26, 1.42-9.21, 1.34-8.92, 1.55-16.06, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 8.65% (95% CI as 8.22%-9.08%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, bile leakage, and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day readmission ( RR=6.20, 3.33, 14.33, 95% CI as 3.21-11.95, 1.33-8.35, 3.72-55.28, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 9.11% (95% CI as 8.85%-9.37%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, liver failure, and wound infection were independent risk factors for prolonged postoperative hospital stay ( RR=2.29, 2.21, 2.26, 2.14, 3.35, 95% CI as 1.63-3.23, 1.41-3.46, 1.32-3.86, 1.11-4.13, 1.70-6.60, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 6.03% (95% CI as 5.71%-6.35%, P<0.05). Conclusion:Pulmonary infection is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day mortality after curative-intent resection for GBC, while intra-abdominal ascites is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day reoperation, postoperative 90-day readmission, and prolonged postoperative hospital stay.

Raynaud syndrome is a clinical syndrome characterized by paroxysmal vasospasms of the acral small arteries,and its pathogenesis is closely associated with the dynamic imbalance of yin and yang as elucidated by the theory of"yang transforming qi and yin shaping up body."The theory of"yang transforming qi and yin shaping up body"originated in Huangdi Neijing,which is aimed at that yang can be tangible essence,blood,fluid,and other substances belonging to the yin into an invisible qi,promote the internal and external zang-fu organs and qi of the body's operation;yin qi is transformed into tangible substances under the gasification effect of yang qi to nourish the organism,to consolidate the essence of internal zang-fu organs,and to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body.This study innovatively employs this theory to systematically elucidate the dynamic pathomechanism evolution of Raynaud syndrome:at the beginning of the disease,the ischemic stage is dominated by the deficiency of yang qi and the inability of qi to transform yin;then the disease enters into the hypoxic stage and the dilatation stage,which are mostly caused by the lack of yang depression,the blockage of qi,and the over-excessive formation of yin;and finally,the yang transforms qi too much and yin is damaged and weak,and then reaches the stage of complication.In Raynaud syndrome,the key mechanism and pathology of"yang transforming qi"and"yin shaping up body"as well as the stage of the disease should be clarified,so that yang qi can be used as the basis to make up for yang deficiency,yang depression can be stretched out,yin evils such as cold condensation,blood stasis and water dampness can be transformed,heat and toxin can be eliminated,yin fluids can be restored,and the extremities can be warmed up.The disease will be convalesced gradually.

Objective:To systematically integrate the qualitative research results on the exercise experience and needs of patients with Parkinson's disease at home and abroad, and to provide a reference for formulating exercise management plans that are in line with the feelings of patients with Parkinson's disease.Methods:Computer retrieval was conducted in databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, and ProQuest for qualitative studies on the exercise experience of patients with Parkinson's disease. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the databases to August 8, 2024.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, and 34 research results were extracted. Similar research results were grouped into 11 new categories and integrated into 4 integrated results, namely the incentive factors for patients with Parkinson's disease to participate in exercise, the perceived benefits of patients with Parkinson's disease in exercise, the perceived difficulties of patients with Parkinson's disease in exercise, and the needs of patients with Parkinson's disease to participate in exercise.Conclusions:Exercise has a positive effect on improving the physical and mental conditions of patients with Parkinson's disease. Medical staff should fully consider the needs of patients and formulate safe and reasonable exercise plans to improve the motor life ability of patients with Parkinson's disease.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the morphology of the carotid siphon, its related risk factors, and cerebral blood flow perfusion in patients with arteriosclerotic cerebral small vessel disease (aCSVD), and provide imaging evidence for the etiology of aCSVD.Methods:A total of 130 aCSVD patients hospitalized in the Department of Neurology of the First People′s Hospital of Hefei from March 2022 to June 2024, all of whom underwent multimodal imaging assessments, were enrolled. The baseline data were collected, and the morphology of the carotid siphon was visually evaluated using post-processing of head and neck computed tomography angiography (CTA), which was categorized into U-type ( n=63), C-type ( n=32), and V-type ( n=35). Calcification degree was semi-quantitatively assessed based on transverse CTA images. Cerebral perfusion was measured using magnetic resonance arterial spin labeling. The relationship between different siphon segment morphologies, calcification degrees, their risk factors, and cerebral blood flow perfusion was analyzed using analysis of variance and multinomial Logistic regression. Results:Univariate analysis of the 3 siphon types showed significant differences in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [U-type (2.44±0.84) mmol/L,V-type (2.21±0.57) mmol/L, C-type (2.89±1.07) mmol/L, F=5.578, P=0.005], calcification degree [Among the 63 cases in the U-type group, 19 cases (30.15%) had mild calcification, 20 cases (31.75%) had moderate calcification, and 24 cases (38.10%) had severe calcification; among the 35 cases in the V-type group, 20 cases (57.14%) had mild calcification, 10 cases (28.57%) had moderate calcification, and 5 cases (14.29%) had severe calcification; among the 32 cases in the C-type group, 12 cases (37.50%) had mild calcification, 14 cases (43.75%) had moderate calcification, and 6 cases (18.75%) had severe calcification; χ2=13.092, P=0.011], and total aCSVD load [modified aCSVD load score: U-type 4.00(1.00, 4.00),V-type 3.00(1.00, 4.00),C-type 2.00(2.00, 4.00), H=9.997, P=0.007]. Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that patients with U-shaped siphons had a significantly higher overall aCSVD load than those with C-shaped siphons, with a regression coefficient of 0.728, and a statistically significant difference ( OR=2.070 ,95% CI 1.026-4.178, P=0.042). Additionally, total brain and white matter cerebral blood flow were decreased in patients with U-type siphons compared to those with C-type and V-type, primarily involving bilateral superior frontal gyri, left orbital frontal gyrus, and left straight gyrus regions (false discovery rate correction, P<0.05). Conclusions:The imaging manifestations of aCSVD are closely related to the shape of the internal carotid artery siphon.The U type siphon is more likely to lead to hemodynamic changes, resulting in decreased global and regional cerebral blood flow, and demonstrating a higher overall burden of aCSVD, which has certain clinical reference value for assessing the etiology of aCSVD.
