Objective To construct and compare logistic regression and decision tree models for predicting systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) after interventional surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of TBAD patients at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from 2020 to 2024. The patients were divided into a SIRS group and a non SIRS group based on whether SIRS occurred within 24 hours after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of SIRS occurrence in TBAD intervention patients, and a decision tree model was constructed using SPSS Modeler to compare the predictive performance of the two models. Results A total of 742 patients with TBAD were included, including 579 males and 163 females, aged 27-97 (58.85±10.79) years. Within 24 hours after intervention, a total of 506 patients developed SIRS, with an incidence rate of 68.19%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the extensive involvement of the dissection, the surgical time≥2 hours, PET coated stents implanted, serum creatinine, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, monocyte (MONO), neutrophil count levels elevated, estimated glomerular filtration rate and decreased albumin levels were independent risk factors for SIRS (P<0.05). The decision tree model selected a total of 10 explanatory variables and 6 layers with 37 nodes, among which MONO was the most important predictor. The area under the decision tree model curve was 0.829 [95%CI (0.800, 0.856)], which was better than the logistic regression model's 0.690 [95%CI (0.655, 0.723)], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion The incidence of SIRS after TBAD intervention is high, and the decision tree model has better predictive performance than logistic regression. It can identify high-risk patients with higher accuracy and provide a practical tool for early clinical intervention.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics and key risk factors of abnormal blood disposal throughout the 2024-2025 blood collection and supply process based on nationwide multi-site monitoring data, develop a comprehensive prevention and control strategy across the entire chain, reduce preventable blood waste, and ensure clinical blood safety. Methods: According to the Guidelines for Haemovigilance (T/CSBT 001-2026), we extracted 74 cases of abnormal blood disposal events reported by the China Blood Transfusion Association′s Blood Safety Monitoring System from January 1 2024, to December 31 2025, and conducted descriptive statistical analysis on the distribution of events, types of deviations, root causes, and classifications of disposal manifestations. Results: A total of 664 adverse events related to blood collection and supply were reported over two years, with 74 cases involving discarded abnormal blood units, accounting for 11.1% of the total. Among these, blood component preparation (40.5%) and blood collection (37.8%) remained traditional high-risk stages. The proportion of blood waste occurring during storage, distribution, and transportation increased from 7.7% in 2024 to 34.3% in 2025. Deviations from standard operating procedures (SOP) by personnel were the primary cause, accounting for 74.3% of cases. Discarded blood units were categorized into four types: compromised closed blood bag systems (40 cases), mainly due to inadequate heat sealing, physical damage, or dropped bags; blood out of the cold chain (12 cases), primarily resulting from blood being left at work sites; imbalanced proportion of preservation solution (10 cases), mostly caused by blood collection volumes exceeding the standard capacity of blood bags; and other causes (12 cases). Conclusion: Human operational errors are the core cause of abnormal blood waste. The collection and preparation stages have long been at high-risk, and the risks in the storage and transportation stages have been increasing year by year. We should focus on standardizing personnel management, improving specialized operation norms such as heat sealing, transportation, and storage, establishing a full-process intelligent cold chain monitoring and multi-node visual verification mechanism, and systematically reducing the occurrence rate of abnormal blood waste through a closed-loop quality intervention system, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of voluntary blood donation resources.

Objective To explore factors affecting blood pressure control in chronic disease patients in China's na-tional basic public health service chronic disease patient management program and to find their relationships with Bayesian network(BN)model,in order to provide a scientific basis for comprehensive hypertension management.Methods 5 577 Hypertensive patients were selected from eight provinces(including autonomous regions)covering eastern,central and western parts of China during a survey from 2021 to 2022.Researchers collected individual and community-management data to screen influencing factors by Logistic regression,and to describe factor dependencies and to identify key determinants of blood pressure control with BN in.blood pressure control.Results Logistic regression revealed that urban/rural status,education,alcohol use,exercise,overweight/obesity and com-munity-doctor advice on salt reduction,smoking cessation were significantly associated with blood pressure control(P＜0.05).The BN model identified 22 directed edges showing that urban residence and good hypertension knowl-edge were more correlated with better control,while community-doctor management and services directly affected patient lifestyle habits but not blood pressure control.Conclusions Research should focus more on urban-rural dis-parities and hypertension education.Additionally,improving patient habits and community-doctor services is essen-tial for better blood pressure control.

Objective To explore the value of the ratio of soluble FmS-like tyrosine kinase-1(sFlt-1)to placental growth factor(PlGF)in predicting vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women with preeclampsia.Methods A total of 740 singleton pregnant women who underwent prenatal examination in Qijiang Health Center for Maternal and Child Care from January to November 2023 and were able to complete follow-up were selected as the research subjects.They were divided into the normal group(n=44)and the deficiency group(n=696)according to the vitamin D[1,25-(OH)2D3]level.Information such as age,BMI,pregnancy histo-ry,family history and medical history of each group was collected.5 mL of peripheral venous blood was drawn after fasting for 6-8 hours at 12-14 weeks of pregnancy to detect the levels of sFlt-1,PlGF and vitamin D in peripheral blood,and evaluated the predictive value of sFlt-1/PlGF for vitamin D deficiency in preeclampsia.Results There were no statistically significant differences in general conditions such as height,age,BMI,edu-cational level and occupation between the two groups(P>0.05).There were statistically significant differ-ences in the prenatal weight,vitamin D level,sFlt-1/PlGF and neonatal birth weight between the two groups(P<0.05).The results of univariate analysis showed that the prenatal weight,sFlt-1/PlGF,and neonatal birth weight were risk factors for vitamin D deficiency in patients with PE.The results of multivariate analysis showed that sFlt-1/PlGF and neonatal birth weight were factors for predicting vitamin D deficiency in patients with PE(P<0.05).All these variables are used to establish the nomogram prediction model.The receiver op-erating characteristic(ROC)curve showed that area under the curve(AUC)of the training group and the val-idation group was 0.66(95%CI:0.56-0.77)and 0.63(95%CI:0.49-0.76),respectively.Conclusion In pregnant women with preeclampsia,elevated sFlt-1/PlGF may be an early warning indicator for predicting vi-tamin D deficiency.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising class of targeted cancer therapeutics that combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic payloads. Despite their therapeutic potential, the use of ADCs faces significant challenges, including off/on-target toxicity and resistance development. This review examines the current landscape of ADC development, focusing on the critical aspects of target selection and antibody engineering. We discuss strategies to increase ADC efficacy and safety, including multitarget approaches, pH-dependent antibodies, and masked peptide technologies. The importance of comprehensive antigen expression profiling in both tumor and normal tissues is emphasized, highlighting the role of advanced technologies, such as single-cell sequencing and artificial intelligence, in optimizing target selection. Furthermore, we explore combination therapies and innovations in linker‒payload chemistry, which may provide approaches for expanding the therapeutic window of ADCs. These advances pave the way for the development of more precise and effective cancer treatments, potentially extending ADC applications beyond oncology.

Objective:To investigate the impact of immunosuppressive therapy on the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection and cytokine levels in pediatric patients with kidney diseases.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 40 hospitalized pediatric patients who were diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection at the 900th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from December 2022 to February 2023. Based on their immunosuppressive status prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection, these patients were categorized into immunosuppressive group and non-immunosuppressive group. Independent sample t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and χ2 test were employed to compare the clinical baseline characteristics and laboratory data, the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the levels of cytokines between the 2 groups. Results:Among the 40 patients, 11 were in the immunosuppressive group (aged 13 (8, 14) years, 9 males and 2 females) and 29 in the non-immunosuppressive group (aged 2 (1, 4) years, 15 males and 14 females). In the immunosuppressive group, 2 were asymptomatic cases, 8 were mild cases, and 1 was moderate case, and there was no severe or critical cases. In the non-immunosuppressive group, 8 were mild cases, 5 were moderate, 15 were severe cases, 1 was critical case, and no asymptomatic cases. The underlying diseases in the immunosuppressive group included nephrotic syndrome (6 cases), IgA vasculitis nephritis (2 cases), lupus nephritis (1 case), post-renal transplantation (1 case), and renal failure (1 case), with a mean total immunosuppression score (TIS) of (3.6±1.4) points. In the non-immunosuppressive group, 2 patients had a history of epilepsy, and the remaining 27 cases had no underlying conditions, all with TIS scores of 0. Compared to the children in the non-immunosuppressive group, those in the immunosuppressive group were more likely to exhibit asymptomatic or mild infection, with lower risks of severe disease, cytokine storm, fever, and cough, but a higher risk of fatigue ( OR=1.22, 2.66, 0.48, 0.12, 0.12, 0.13, 1.22; 95% CI 0.93-1.62, 0.99-7.15, 0.33-0.70, 0.03-0.57, 0.03-0.57, 0.03-0.65, 0.93-1.62; all P<0.05). The levels of cytokine IL-6, interferon-α and interferon-γ in the immunosuppressive group were all lower than those in the non-immunosuppressive group ( Z=2.23, 2.51, 2.92, respectively; all P<0.05). Conclusion:Pediatric patients with kidney diseases receiving appropriate immunosuppressive therapy may mitigate the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection by suppressing the expression of cytokines.

Purpose To investigate the value of two-dimensional speckle tracking in evaluating right ventricular function in cardiac amyloidosis(CA).Materials and Methods A total of 25 patients with CA,30 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM)and 30 healthy controls were retrospectively selected from July 2021 to October 2023 in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital.The regional difference was represented by the formula apical ratio.The parameters of conventional echocardiography,two-dimensional strain and apical ratio of the three groups were analyzed and compared.Results Only segmental strain was different in right ventricular structure and function between CA group and HCM group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).In the CA group,the strain gradient of the right ventricle from the apex of the heart to the base was the same as that of the left ventricle,that was,the"apex preservation"pattern,which was not seen in the HCM group and the control group.Comparison of the right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain-apical ratio,right ventricle four-chamber longitudinal strain-apical ratio,left ventride global longitudinal strain-apical ratio among the three groups,it was found that the levels of CA group were higher than HCM group and control group,and the differences were statistically significant(H=40.40,43.18,55.43,all P<0.05).The right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain-apical ratio had the highest CA recognition value,the area under the curve was 0.935,sensitivity was 96%and specificity was 83%.Conclusion Two-dimensional speckle tracking can accurately evaluate the right ventricular function impairment in CA patients and provide a new choice for clinical evaluation and identification of CA patients.

Objective:To analyze the predictive factors associated with late-onset sepsis(LOS) in very low birth weight infants,and to develop a risk prediction score scale applicable to these infants three days postnatal.This will provide valuable insights for early diagnosis and timely intervention.Methods:Very low birth weight infants admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 1,2022,to June 30,2024,were selected as research subjects.These infants were categorized into two groups:the LOS group and the non-LOS group,based on whether they developed LOS.LASSO regression analysis,alongside univariate and multivariate regression analyses,was employed to identify predictive factors for LOS in this population.A Logistic model was constructed using the optimal combination of predictive variables,and a risk assessment scale was subsequently developed.The prediction performance of the model was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square test and the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:A total of 444 cases of very low birth weight infants were included,of which 185 had LOS and 259 did not.After screening the variables,seven independent factors were included into the model:birth weight,gestational age,tracheal intubation,abnormal skin color,abdominal distension,elevated C-reactive protein levels,and right hand perfusion index.A predictive scoring scale was developed based on the regression coefficients of each variable,with corresponding risk scores assigned as follows:1,4,3,2,1,1,and 2; a score of ≥3.5 indicated high-risk groups.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test results demonstrated that χ2 = 7.602( P = 0.473).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.792 ( P<0.001),with a sensitivity of 73.5% and specificity of 71.0%. Conclusion:The risk score scale developed in this study exhibits significant predictive capability,providing valuable insights for clinical medical personnel to assess the risk of LOS in very low birth weight infants during the early postnatal period.

Tuberculosis is a zoonotic disease posing a substantial public health threat.Immunological diagnosis and vaccine im-munization are both necessary to control tuberculosis prevalence.However,the identical antigenic components in diagnostic reagents and vaccines hinder the use of animal vaccines and limit the specificity of clinical diagnosis in humans.Differentiating infected from vaccinated animals can overcome these problems.This article reviews the progress in differential diagnosis research from three as-pects:the diagnostic effects of antigens,methods for discovering new antigens,and screening of new host immune markers,to provide a theoretical basis for future research.
