Background: and Purpose Live cell-based assays (LCBA) are increasingly used for serological antibody detection due to their ability to preserve antigen conformation, offering moderately higher sensitivity than fixed cell-based assays. However, the clinical necessity of prioritizing LCBA for the detection of aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) remains unclear, especially when compared to its established role in diagnosing myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease. Methods: We compared the performance of live cell-based assays using immunofluorescence (LCBA-IF) and fixed cell-based assays using immunofluorescence (FCBA-IF) in detecting AQP4-IgG in 90 cases of NMOSD meeting 2015 International Panel for Neuromyelitis Optica Diagnosis criteria, alongside 40 controls. Additionally, we further investigated the relationship between AQP4-IgG titers as measured by LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF and clinical parameters in NMOSD patients. Results: Results showed 96.9% agreement between LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF (Cohen’s κ=0.935), with a strong Spearman correlation (0.977, p<0.001). Both methods demonstrated 100% specificity, with LCBA-IF showing slightly higher sensitivity compared to FCBA-IF. Within LCBAIF-tested groups, statistically significant differences in annualized relapse rates were observed across all pairwise comparisons (low-titer vs. moderate-titer, low-titer vs. high-titer, and moderate-titer vs. high-titer; all p<0.050). However, this association reached statistical significance in some FCBA-IF-tested groups. Conclusions Overall, there is a strong concordance between LCBA-IF and FCBA-IF in detecting AQP4-IgG, where LCBA-IF shows slightly higher sensitivity. Furthermore, there is a potential link between elevated AQP4-IgG titers and an increased risk of relapse, and this correlation may appear more pronounced when using LCBA-IF.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of CGG repeat numbers in the FMR1 gene among reproductive-age women in China, providing data reference for carrier screening and genetic counseling of Fragile X syndrome. Methods:This cross-sectional study recruited 16 610 reproductive-age women from 12 medical institutions between July 2022 and October 2023. Peripheral venous blood samples (3 mL) were collected, and genomic DNA was extracted. The number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene was determined using the triplet-primed polymerase chain reaction (TP-PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis technology. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the prevalence and distribution of CGG repeat expansions. Results:Among 16 610 women of childbearing age, 5 684 (34.220%) women had the same number of CGG repeats in the two alleles of FMR1 gene, and 10 926 (65.780%) women had different numbers of repeats in the two alleles. Among the 33 220 FMR1 alleles in 16 610 women of reproductive age, the most common CGG repeat numbers were 29 [48.645% (16 160/33 220)] and 30 [26.276% (8 729/33 220)], while the most frequent CGG genotype was CGG 29/29 [24.726% (4 107/16 610)]. The CGG repeat numbers of FMR1 gene were normal in 16 498 women (99.326%). Among the 112 women (0.674%) with CGG repeat abnormities, 96 (0.578%) women were classified as intermediate carriers, 15 (0.090%) as premutation carriers, and 1 (0.006%) as a full mutation carrier, whose CGG genotype was (36, >200). Conclusion:In the general reproductive-age female population in China, the normal CGG repeat numbers of the FMR1 gene account for 99.326%, while the intermediate carrier rate is 0.578%, and the combined carrier rate of the premutation and full mutation types is 0.096%.

Compare the pain scores and teaching effectiveness of pregnant women before and after the intervention in the two groups.Results:The final number of the two groups were 50 in each group, aged (32.38 ± 3.93) years in the intervention group; aged (31.34 ± 3.19) years in the control group. After the intervention, the pain scores of pregnant women in the intervention group (1.48 ± 1.26) scores were significantly lower than those in the control group (2.96 ± 1.42) scores, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = -5.45, P<0.05). The scores of the evaluation of the teaching effect memory problem scores, movement mastery scores, and classroom evaluations were (7.96 ± 1.30) scores, (13. 96 ± 0.88) scores, (27.54 ± 3.08) scores in the intervention group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (5.80 ± 1.29) scores, (8.48 ± 1.82) scores, (16.24 ± 3.80) scores, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 8.30, 19.16, 16.31, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Based on the constructivism teaching model, exercise rehabilitation for pregnant women with PGP in late pregnancy can effectively alleviate their pelvic girdle pain, and the teaching effect is better than the traditional teaching model, which has the potential to be promoted and applied in the teaching of obstetric maternity schools.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of systemic immune microenvironment during the progression of dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced acute ulcerative colitis(UC)induced in mice by Mass cytometry(CyTOF).Methods:Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group and model group.The control group was given normal drinking water for 15 d.The mouse in the model group were given 5%DSS in drinking water,which was changed to normal drinking water after 7 days.In the model group,peripheral blood was collected on days 4,9 and 15,respectively.CyTOF was used to detect the expressions of 33 immune cell markers and changes in cell subsets in peripheral blood of mice,and the characteristics of systemic immune microenvironment in mice with acute UC were analyzed.Results:The cluster analysis of 33 kinds of immune cell markers showed that CD45+cells in peripheral blood of mice with DSS induced acute UC were divided into 23 fine subgroups,among which the proportions of B cell subgroup,T cell subgroup and neutrophil subgroup showed significant changes.A further dimensional reduction cluster analysis of T cell subsets found significant differences in the composition and proportion of the 10 identified T cell subsets.Conclusion:The systemic immune micro-environment map of mice with acute UC induced by DSS has been successfully constructed,and heterogeneity has been found in the systemic immune microenvironment of mice with acute UC.The changes and activation degree of T cell subpopulations are closely re-lated to disease progression and inflammation level.The results of this study provide theoretical basis for assisting the diagnosis,moni-toring the risk,progression,treatment and prognosis of acute UC.

Objective:The performance of GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Xpert), DNA isothermal amplification fluorescence assay (DNA isothermal amplification) and RNA simultaneous amplification and testing (SAT-TB) were evaluated by detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the pus samples of superficial tuberculous lymphadenitis and skeletal tuberculosis, two common extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Methods:Cross-sectional study. A total of 242 patients with suspected superficial tuberculous lymphadenitis and skeletal tuberculosis admitted to Shaanxi Provincial Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Hospital were collected from January 2022 to December 2023 and pus samples were taken from the lesions for examination. Among them, 210 patients were laboratory confirmed or clinically diagnosed with tuberculosis, 108 patients with superficial tuberculous lymphadenitis and 102 patients with skeletal tuberculosis. 32 patients without tuberculosis. Mycobacterium Tuberculosis culture, Xpert, DNA isothermal amplification, and SAT-TB detection were performed on the pus samples of all patients. The detection results were statistically analyzed using SPSS26.0 and MedCalc software. The detection effectiveness of several different detection methods for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in pus samples was compared, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significan. Results:The sensitivity of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis culture, Xpert, DNA isothermal amplification and SAT-TB in TB patients were 25.2% (53/210), 88.6% (186/210), 81.9% (172/210) and 61.0% (128/210), respectively. The area under curve (AUC) values of the four detection methods in the diagnosis of tuberculosis were 0.626, 0.943, 0.910 and 0.805, respectively. The AUC value of tuberculosis culture in the diagnosis of tuberculosis was significantly lower than that of the three molecular diagnostic techniques ( P<0.05). The AUC value of DNA isothermal amplification was significantly higher than that of SAT-TB detection method ( P<0.05). The positive tuberculosis culture was used as a reference standard where the sensitivity of Xpert, DNA isothermal amplification and SAT-TB reached 96.2%(51/53), 90.6%(48/53) and 86.8%(46/53), respectively. There was no significant difference in sensitivity among the three molecular diagnostic techniques ( P>0.05). In Xpert MTB positive patients, the positive rate of DNA isothermal amplification was 90.3% (168/186), and there was good consistency between DNA isothermal amplification and Xpert MTB detection results ( Kappa=0.765, P<0.001). Xpert detected 27 cases of rifampicin resistance, the resistance rate was 12.9% (27/210). Conclusion:GeneXpert and DNA isothermal amplification have high sensitivity and specificity in the samples of extrapulmonary tuberculosis pus, and the results of DNA isothermal amplification and GeneXpert MTB/RIF detection are highly consistent. In tuberculosis screening, DNA isothermal amplification fluorescence detection can be used for preliminary screening to reduce the detection cost.
