Objective: To establish an accurate and rapid typing method for Rh typing of samples from patients who have received recent blood transfusions by utilizing the difference in osmotic fragility between fresh and old red blood cells. Methods: A lysing solution suitable for destroying old RBCs was prepared. Sixty-one samples collected in our hospital in 2024 with Rh typing of double groups were treated with the lysing solution to remove the old allogeneic red blood cells while preserving the patient's own fresh red blood cells, followed by repeat Rh typing tests. Results: For 61 samples with Rh typing in double groups, 41 were accurately detected identified through the red blood cell lysis method, yielding an identification rate of 67.21%. No significant difference was observed compared to the detection rate of the commonly used capillary centrifugation modified method (χ =0.103, P>0.05). Conclusion: The red blood cell lysis method provides a novel and rapid experimental approach for clinical use in processing Rh-typed samples that are of double groups, thereby offering a basis for Rh compatibility blood transfusion.

Objective To investigate clinical features and severity influencing factors of misophonia in psychiatric outpatients. Methods A total of 130 misophonia patients from Weifang People's Hospital (Oct 2023-Jun 2025) were assessed with scales and psychiatric interviews. Linear regression was used to analyze influencing factors. Results Among the 52.3% reported gradually worsening symptoms. Primary triggers were human oronasopharyngeal sounds (65.3%). Core emotional responses were disgust (86.2%) and anger (61.5%), with 75.4% experiencing loss of control. Common coping strategies included covering ears/wearing earplugs (66.1%) and avoidance (64.6%). Mean Amsterdam Misophonia Scale-Revised score was 26.4±5.2, indicating severe social dysfunction. Common comorbidities were obsessive-compulsive disorder (11.5%), depressive disorder (8.5%), and social anxiety disorder (5.4%). Multivariate analysis identified depressive disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder as independent factors affecting severity (all P<0.05). Conclusion Misophonia follows a chronic course with severe impairment in social functioning and quality of life. Obsessive-compulsive disorder, depressive disorder, social anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder are key factors influencing symptom severity.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the cognition， attitudes， and current practices of Chinese physicians regarding biosimilars and their clinical switching， so as to provide a basis for the rational clinical application of biosimilars in China and the improvement of related policies.METHODS A national cross-sectional online questionnaire survey was conducted in 2025. Quota sampling was adopted， with quotas based on physicians’ sex， city tier， and specialty. Questionnaire invitations were distributed to licensed physicians， and physicians who had prescribed monoclonal antibody biosimilars were included for analysis. The questionnaire covered their familiarity with biosimilars， attitudes， clinical switching practices， and reasons. Data were processed using reliability and validity tests， dispersion analysis， and cross-tabulation analysis.RESULTS The questionnaire scale showed good reliability and validity， with Cronbach’s α coefficient ＞0.7 and KMO value ＞0.6. A total of 2 071 survey invitations were distributed， and 300 valid questionnaires were returned， with an effective response rate of 14.5%. Among the respondents， 75.3% had prescribed 3-5 types of monoclonal antibody biosimilars； only 35.3% were aware that China currently has no clear regulatory provisions on biosimilar switching； 46.3% and 47.3% of respondents believed that there was no difference in safety and efficacy， respectively， between biosimilars and originator products； 63.0% of respondents were concerned about the immunogenicity risk of long-term switching between originator drugs and biosimilars. A total of 92.3% of respondents had experience with biosimilar switching， 87.7% of which involved switching from originator products to biosimilars， and 28.2% of respondents had completed three or more switches in the same patient. Among the primary reasons for switching， non-medical factors accounted for 57.4%， higher than medical factors at 42.6%； “lower treatment cost after switching” was the most important reason for switching； 95.3% of respondents believed that informed consent should be obtained from patients before switching.CONCLUSIONS The surveyed physicians had basic knowledge of biosimilars， but their understanding of the relevant regulations of the national drug regulatory authority was insufficient. Although most physicians were concerned about the risks of non-medical switching， clinical switching was mostly driven by non-medical factors. It is recommended to strengthen policy education for medical professionals and standardize clinical switching behavior. The National Medical Products Administration should also promptly improve the interchangeability review standards and post-marketing surveillance system for biosimilars, so as to promote the rational use of biosimilars.

Background/Aims: Natural killer (NK) cell function is generally considered dampened in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection; however, the NK cell pool exhibits phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, and the antibody--mediated effect of NK cells remains less characterized. This study evaluated the dynamic changes in antibody-mediated NK cell responses and the involvement of distinct NK subsets across disease stages and during antiviral treatment. Methods: A T-cell receptor-like antibody specific for the HBV core 18–27 peptide (cTCRL-Ab) was used to determine the antibody-mediated effect of NK cells, and an array of NK cell surface markers were analyzed in cross-sectional and longitudinal cohorts of patients with chronic HBV infection. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed to identify the heterogeneity of NK subsets. Results: The cTCRL-Ab enabled the detection of NK cell cytolytic activity and IFNγ production. Notably, cTCRL-Ab-mediated NK cell responses were compromised in chronically HBV-infected patients, particularly in those receiving pegylated interferon-α (Peg-IFNα), which was associated with the downregulation of CD16 expression. Correspondingly, Peg-IFNα inhibited cTCRL-Ab-mediated NK cell function by reducing CD16 expression in vitro. scRNA-seq revealed that CD16 downregulation occurred mainly within a dysfunctional CD16hi NK subset exhibiting exhaustion properties. In contrast, an activated CD16hiNK subpopulation (CX3CR1⁺KLRC2–CD16hi) with high cytotoxicity was enriched in patients who experienced favorable treatment responses. Furthermore, the intrahepatic CX3CR1+KLRC2–CD16hi subset tended to exhibit functional restoration in HBsAg-loss individuals. Conclusions Our data contribute to the understanding of antibody-mediated responses of NK cells in chronic HBV infection, and highlight a previously unappreciated functional CX3CR1+KLRC2–CD16hiNK subset as a potential therapeutic target.

Objective: To eliminate the interference of daratumumab (DARA) in the titer determination of IgG antiA/antiB antibodies, resolve the discrepancy between test results and theoretical expectations, and obtain accurate and reliable test results. Methods: A group A blood sample with a positive IgG antiA titer result was confirmed to have a recent history of DARA administration. After removal of IgM antibodies from the plasma, IgG antiA/antiB titers were determined using the antiglobulin test card with a serial twofold dilution method, following pretreatment of reagent red blood cells with a rabbit antihuman CD38 functional monoclonal antibody. Results: Without pretreatment with the rabbit antihuman CD38 functional monoclonal antibody, the IgG antiA titer of the sample was 128. After pretreatment, the IgG antiA titer became negative. Conclusion: Based on the red blood cell CD38 antigen masking strategy, pretreatment of red blood cells with a rabbit antihuman CD38 functional monoclonal antibody can eliminate the interference of DARA on the titer determination of IgG antibodies, thereby providing accurate diagnostic evidence and decision support for clinical treatment.

Objective:To establish a rapid detection method based on matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS)for drug resistance of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE),so as to provide basis for enhancing clinically diagnostic effect.Methods:A total of 120 suspected CRE strains that were isolated from the clinical laboratory of Jiading District Central Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Medicine&Health Sciences during October 2023 and September 2024 were collected,and the experimental detection of 44 strains was finally completed.The 44 suspected CRE bacterial strains were all from hospitalized patients.A rapid detection protocol based on the MALDI-TOF MS platform was initially established and improved,and experimental detection was carried out using the fully automatic rapid microbial mass spectrometry detection system(VITEK MS).The results of identification review and antimicrobial susceptibility test(AST)for VitEK-2 Compact strain was used as the reference standard.The screening results and detection efficacy of two kinds of detection methods were compared.Results:In the 44 suspected CRE strains,31 CRE strains were screened out by MALDI-TOF MS detection,and 31 CRE stains were screened out by VITEK-2 Compact recheck detection.In them,one strain of Enterobacter cloacae was confirmed as negativity by the MALDI-TOF MS test,but it was confirmed as CRE by the VITEK-2 Compact test.One strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae was confirmed as positivity by the MALDI-TOF MS test,but it was confirmed as mediator for carbapenem drugs by the VITEK-2 Compact test.The tested results of VITEK-2 Compact was used as standard,the results of four-grid table(2×2 contingency table)statistical method indicated that the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy rate and Youden index(R)of MALDI-TOF MS were respectively 96.7%,92.3%,100%and 89.1%.Conclusion:The rapid detection method based on the MALDI-TOF MS platform for CRE drug resistance has simple operation process and high accuracy rate,which can provide a basis for the application of targeted antibacterial drugs at early stage.

Objective To analyze the trends in disease burden and risk factors of depression among the elderly population in China from 1990 to 2021,and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention,treatment,and policy-making of geriatric depression in China.Methods Data on the disease burden of geriatric depres-sion in China from 1990 to 2021,including the number of incident cases,disability-adjusted life years(DALYs),incidence rate,and DALY rate,were extracted from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease(GBD)database.The Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trends by calculating the annual percentage change(APC)and average annual percentage change(AAPC).The autoregressive integrated moving average(ARIMA)model was employed to predict the disease burden of geriatric depression over the next five years.Population attributable fractions(PAFs)were used to describe the risk factors for geriatric depression in China in 1990 and 2021.Results From 1990 to 2021,the number of incident cases and the incidence rate of geri-atric depression in China showed an overall upward trend.The most significant increase in incidence was ob-served in the 60-64 age group,while the prevalence rate increased notably in the ≥ 95 age group.The DALY rate showed the most pronounced upward trend in the 65-69 age group.The incidence,prevalence,and DALY rates of geriatric depression were higher in women than in men.Major risk factors included child-hood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence,with the impact of intimate partner violence being particular-ly significant among women.The ARIMA model predicted that the incidence,prevalence,and DALY rates of geriatric depression in China would decline over the next five years,with a greater decline observed in women than in men.Conclusions From 1990 to 2021,the incidence,prevalence,and DALY rates of geriatric de-pression in China showed an overall upward trend,with higher rates observed in women than in men.Greater attention should be paid to the elderly female population,with a focus on early prevention to reduce the dis-ease burden of geriatric depression.

The clinical data of a pediatric patient with Kleefstra syndrome 2 (KLEFS2) diagnosed at the Department of Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Changzhou Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University in May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The patient was a 2-year-and-6-month-old male who had delayed language-motor development, feeding difficulties, left cryptorchidism, and atrial septal defect.He could not say " papa/mama" at the age of 2 years and 6 months, with poor response to his name, and mainly consumed semi-liquid and liquid foods.Physical examination showed his weight was 11 kg (-1.64 SD) and his height was 82 cm (-2.94 SD).He had thick eyebrows, low nasal bridge, abundant hair on the back and the simian line on the palms of both hands.Whole exome sequencing revealed that the patient had a heterozygous variant in the histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2C ( KMT2C) gene [c.5742(exon36)_5743(exon36)dup/p.(S1915Ffs*25)(NM_170606)].It could be the pathogenic variation according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics variant interpretation guidelines.Based on the patient′s clinical characteristics and molecular genetic testing results, KLEFS2 was diagnosed.Sanger sequencing showed that the patient′s father has a wild-type KMT2C gene, and his mother carries this mutation in the KMT2C gene, but she only exhibits delayed physical development and short stature.KLEFS2 is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease, and there is heterogeneity in its genetic variation and clinical phenotype.A total of 19 cases of KLEFS2 have been reported globally.This article reports new clinical manifestations of KLEFS2, including simian line and excessive hair growth.c.5742(exon36)_5743(exon36)dup is a newly found KMT2C mutation that enriches the KMT2C variation spectrum and expands the phenotypic spectrum of KLEFS2.
