Objective: To investigate the impact of current laboratory testing models and screening strategies on blood safety by analyzing repeat nucleic acid testing (NAT) results obtained from blood donors who had dual-reactive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results but were initially nonreactive by NAT. Methods: Samples from blood donors with dual-reactive ELISA results and initially nonreactive NAT results collected at Dalian Blood Center from 2017 to 2025 were included. Repeated testing was performed using two NAT systems: transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results were analyzed in terms of the frequency of reactive NAT results and the testing strategies, including minipool and individual donation testing. Results: A total of 199 samples with dual-reactive ELISA results and initially nonreactive NAT results were included，comprising 66 HBsAg-reactive samples，130 anti-HCV-reactive samples，and 3 HIV Ag/Ab-reactive samples. Among the HBsAg-reactive samples，57（57/66，86.4%）showed at least one reactive NAT result upon repeated testing，and 49 showed two or more repeat reactive results. Anti-HBc was reactive in 64 samples（64/66，97.0%）and nonreactive in 2 samples（2/66，3.0%）；both anti-HBc-nonreactive samples remained nonreactive in repeated NAT. No stable repeat nucleic acid reactivity was observed in anti-HCV- or HIV Ag/Abreactive samples. The TMA system detected 50 reactive samples（50/66，75.8%）through three combined assays plus one discriminatory assay, whereas the PCR system detected 51 reactive samples (51/66, 77.3%) through four rounds of individual-donation testing. Fortyfour samples were reactive on both systems, 6 were reactive only on the TMA system, and 7 were reactive only on the PCR system. Conclusion: Among blood donors with dual-reactive ELISA results and initially non-reactive NAT results, HBsAg-reactive samples contain a high proportion of low viral load HBV-related cases, with intermittent and probabilistic nucleic acid detectability. Both testing frequency and detection strategy significantly affect the detection of low viral load samples. These findings highlight the importance of recognizing the detection characteristics of low viral load HBV-related samples in order to optimize blood screening strategies and improve blood safety.

Objective To understand the clinical distribution characteristics and drug-resistance genotypes of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai,so as to guide the rational use of antibiotics,reduce bacterial resistance and control nosocomial infections.Methods A total of 94 consecutive and non-redundant CRPA strains isolated from clinical specimens were collected in The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University between Jan.1,and Dec.31,2019.The distribution of CRPA across departments and sample sources were analyzed.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing against 13 antibiotics was determined using the VITEK 2 Compact automated microbiology analyzer and the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)was employed to detect genes encoding extended-spectrum β-lactamase resistance gene,carbapenemase resistance gene,and porin resistance gene.Homology analysis of selected isolates was performed using kSNP3,a k-mer-based software,for single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)analysis.An evolutionary tree was constructed to assess genetic relationships.Additionally,multilocus sequence typing(MLST)was performed using the Pseudomonas aeruginosa typing scheme from the PubMLST database.Results Among the 94 CRPA isolates,high resistance rates were observed for carbapenems,including imipenem(92.6%,87 strains)and meropenem(87.2%,82 strains).In contrast,low resistance rates were detected for aminoglycosides,such as amikacin(10.6%,10 strains),gentamicin(20.2%,19 strains),and tobramycin(20.2%,19 strains).The top 3 departments in terms of isolate distribution were the Emergency Intensive Care Unit(9.6%,9 strains),Department of Cerebrovascular Surgery(8.5%,8 strains),and Department of Respiratory Medicine(8.5%,8 strains).PCR analysis of 94 CRPA strains detected outer membrane protein D2(OprD2)gene deletion in 47(50.0%)strains,13(13.8%)strains were positive for blaKPC,4(4.3%)strains for blaVIM,2(2.1%)strains for blaIMP,1(1.1%)strain for blaNDM,12(12.8%)strains for blaTEM,4(4.3%)strains for blaPER,and 2(2.1%)strains for blaGES,while blaOXA-48,blaBIC,blaSIM,blaVEB,and blaSHV were not detected.MLST identified 36 different sequence types(STs),with ST463 and ST274 being the most common,and 2 new ST(ST4023 and ST4024)were identified for the first time.Conclusion CRPA strains carry multiple resistance genes and exhibit concurrent resistance to several commonly used clinical antibiotics.The resistance is primarily associated with the presence of blaKPC,blaVIM and blaTEM genes and the deletion of OprD2 gene.Clinical monitoring of CRPA should be strengthened,and rational use of antimicrobial agents is essential to control its spread within the hospital.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical efficacy of the Yushen Yangluan Formula in treating diminished ovarian reserve(DOR)with kidney essence deficiency based on mitochondrial energy metabolism and oxidative stress.METHODS A total of 70 pa-tients diagnosed with DOR due to kidney essence deficiency,who visited the gynecology department of Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from September 2023 to June 2024,were selected.The patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the random number table method.The treatment group(35 cases)received the Yushen Yangluan Formula,while the control group(35 cases)received a Chinese herbal placebo,with treatment lasting for 3 months,and during the treatment pe-riod,one case dropped out from each group.Antral follicle count(AFC),traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,and serum levels of anti-Mullerian hormone(AMH),follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),estradiol(E2),re-active oxygen species(ROS),and adenosine triphosphate(ATP)levels were compared between the two groups.RESULTS After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores for kidney deficiency in both groups decreased compared to before treatment(P<0.05,P<0.01),with the experimental group showing greater improvement than the control group(P<0.01).Following treatment,the FSH levels in the experimental group decreased compared to before treatment(P<0.05),while AMH levels increased(P<0.05),and the antral follicle count(AFC)also increased significantly(P<0.01),with the experimental group outperforming the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).After treatment,serum ROS levels in the experimental group decreased(P<0.01),and ATP levels increased(P<0.01),with the experimental group showing superior results compared to the control group(P<0.01).CONCLUSION Yushen Yangluan Formu-la can improve the ovarian function and TCM syndrome score of patients with DOR of kidney essence deficiency type,which may be re-lated to improving mitochondrial energy metabolism and reducing oxidative stress.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

AIM: To understand the screening and correction of myopia in children and adolescents from the Gannan region of Gansu Province, and to provide guidance for the prevention and control of myopia.METHODS: A cross-sectional stratified cluster sampling study was conducted to select 2 kindergartens and 12 primary and secondary schools in Hezuo City and Zhouqu County, Gannan region of Gansu Province, two classes were randomly selected from each grade, and the whole class was used as a unit for screening. The screening and correction of myopia in children and adolescents were collected for statistical analysis.RESULTS: A total of 5 072 children and adolescents were selected, and 4 806 valid data were finally included after excluding unqualified records. The overall prevalence of myopia was 45.55%, and the prevalence of myopia showed an increasing trend with the increase of grade(P<0.001). The prevalence of myopia in girls(48.66%)was higher than that in boys(42.18%; P<0.001). The prevalence of myopia increased with age(P<0.001), and the age group of 10-12 years old was the fastest growing for myopia, increasing from 25.62% to 60.57%. Furthermore, moderate myopia and high myopia showed an increasing tread with the increase of the grade(all P<0.001). The overall glasses wearing rate of the Gannan region was 28.55%, with a full correction rate of 50.72%, and the glasses wearing rate showed an increasing trend with the increase of grades(P<0.001). The glasses wearing rate of female students(30.84%)was higher than that of male students(26.69%; P=0.008). The full correction rates of low, moderate and high myopia in junior high were the lowest among the 3 phases of studying. The full correction rate of high myopia was the lowest in all phases of studying.CONCLUSION: The prevalence of myopia in children and adolescents from the Gannan region is lower than the national average, but the myopia of children and adolescents is still a trend of young age and high incidence, and the glasses wearing rate of myopia and full correction rate are low.

Objective To investigate the expression of lncRNA SNHG8 in placenta accrete(PA)and its effect on trophoblast invasion and migration.Methods qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA SNHG8 in placenta tissue of 30 cases in PA group and 30 cases in control group,and the correlation between lncRNA SNHG8 expression and prenatal ultrasound score of 30 cases in PA group was analyzed.Transwell and scratch assay were used to detect the effect of lncRNA SNHG8 interference on the invasion and migration of human chorionic trophoblast cells(HTR8/SVneo cells),and western blot was used to detect the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9.The downstream targets of lncRNA SNHG8 were predicted by StarBase software,and the expression of lncRNA SNHG8 was detected in placental tissues of the two groups.Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between lncRNA SNHG8 and miR-542-3p.Results Compared with that of the control group,the expression of lncRNA SNHG8 was up-regulated in the placenta tissue of the PA group(P<0.05),and it was positively correlated with prenatal ultrasound score.Interference with lncRNA SNHG8 inhibited the invasion and migration of trophoblast cells(P<0.05);the protein expression of MMP-9 and MMP-2 also decreased signifi-cantly(P<0.05).Biological prediction indicates that miR-542-3p had a binding site with lncRNA SNHG8,and miR-542-3p expression was down-regulated in PA placental tissue(P<0.05).Dual luciferase reporter assay confirmed that lncRNA SNHG8 could target miR-542-3p.Compared with si-SNHG8+inhibitor-NC,co-transfection of si-SNHG8 and miR-542-3p inhibitor enhanced the invasion and migration ability of trophoblast cells(P<0.05).Conclusion lncRNA SNHG8 is highly expressed in PA and is related to the severity of PA.LncRNA SNHG8 promotes the invasion and migration of trophoblast by regulating the level of miR-542-3p.The study suggests that lncRNA SNHG8 plays an important role in the invasion and migration of PA trophoblast cells,which is expected to be a clinical diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of polymorphisms of solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 1B3(SLCO1B3) gene on the pharmacodynamics of mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) in patients with lupus nephritis. METHODS Patients with lupus nephritis who were treated in Jieyang People’s Hospital from September 2019 to April 2021 were selected. All subjects were treated with MMF for at least 12 months, or discontinued due to poor efficacy. The efficacy of MMF was evaluated. The SLCO1B3 334T>G/699G>A(rs4149117/rs7311358) genotype was detected using Agena MassARRAY®, and the correlation between gene polymorphisms and MMF pharmacodynamics was analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software. RESULTS The genotype frequencies of SLCO1B3 334T>G/699G>A were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The probability of poor MMF treatment effect of 334GG/699AA carriers was significantly higher than that of 334TT/699AA and 334TG/699GA carriers(P<0.001); Logistic regression showed that both 334GG/699AA and urine protein>2.5 g·(24 h)−1 were the risk factors for poor MMF treatment[OR=4.038(1.731, 9.420), P<0.001; OR=4.157(1.705, 10.137), P=0.002]. Combined analysis showed that patients with both 334GG/699AA genotype and urine protein>2.5 g·(24 h)−1 were at higher risk for poor efficacy[OR=8.563(3.301, 22.216), P<0.001]. CONCLUSION SLCO1B3 334T>G/699G>A is related to the efficacy of MMF treating lupus nephritis, and 334GG/699AA carriers are more likely to result in poor efficacy.
