Congenital blood group chimerism refers to the coexistence of two or more distinct blood types within an individual, resulting from the presence of hematopoietic cell populations with different genotypes. Consequently, red blood cells in such individuals may express different blood group antigens. Based on the timing and mechanism of formation, blood group chimerism can be classified as either congenital or acquired. Although congenital blood group chimerism is rare and involves complex mechanisms, it holds significant implications in transfusion medicine, transplantation, and obstetrics. This article reviews the formation mechanisms, detection methods, and clinical significance of congenital blood group chimerism in transfusion medicine. Particular emphasis is placed on the principles, advantages, and limitations of various detection techniques. Furthermore, the potential applications of these technologies in clinical diagnosis are discussed, providing a technical foundation for the development of precise transfusion strategies.

ObjectiveTo develop and validate a diagnostic prediction model for differentiating pulmonary tuberculosis from community-acquired pneumonia based on routine blood parameters. MethodsA total of 642 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 503 patients with community-acquired pneumonia were retrospectively enrolled from the Seventh Hospital of Tangshan. They were randomly divided into a training set and an internal validation set at a 7∶3 ratio. Additionally， 218 patients from the 981st Hospital were independently included as an external validation set. The Boruta algorithm and recursive feature elimination were employed to select predictors from 82 blood parameters， sex， and age. A multivariate Logistic regression model was established and evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves， calibration curves， and decision curve analysis. ResultsThe final model incorporated eight predictors， namely uric acid， urea nitrogen， alkaline phosphatase， monoamine oxidase， alanine aminotransferase， glutathione， neutrophil percentage， and age. The model achieved areas under the curve （AUCs） of 0.800 （95%CI： 0.769-0.830）， 0.787 （95%CI： 0.738-0.836）， and 0.736 （95%CI： 0.667-0.835） in the training， internal validation， and external validation sets， respectively. The model demonstrated good calibration， and decision curve analysis showed clinical net benefit within the threshold probability range of 10%-80%. ConclusionThe developed model exhibits good discriminative ability and clinical utility， serving as an effective early screening tool for primary healthcare institutions.

Background The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is a vast area with a wide array of ecological environments, resulting in considerable regional variations in air pollution characteristics. Current research is limited by a scarcity of systematic, region-wide studies and risk assessments. Objective To assess the health risks associated with inhalation exposure to nine heavy metal and metalloid elements in atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) for the population of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Methods From the 10th to the 16th of each month throughout 2023, atmospheric PM_2.5 samples were collected at designated monitoring sites in 12 leagues (cities) across the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to analyze the characteristics and trends in concentration. The health risk assessment model developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency was employed to evaluate both the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks associated with the heavy metal elements beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), hydrargyrum (Hg), plumbum (Pb), manganese (Mn), and nickel (Ni) and the metalloid elements stibium (Sb) and arsenic (As). Results In 2023, a total of 1206 valid PM_2.5 samples were analyzed from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The annual average PM_2.5 concentrations in Inner Mongolia, as well as in the cities of Ordos, Wuhai, and the Alxa League, all exceeded the national limit of 35 μg·m⁻³. The PM_2.5 concentrations across the leagues (cities) exhibited a clear seasonal variation, peaking in winter, followed by spring, and reaching a minimum in summer and autumn. The median PM_2.5 concentration in Ordos throughout the year was higher than that in the other leagues (cities) of the region. Concerning health risks, the non-carcinogenic risks associated with the 9 elements detected in each league (city) were all below 1, indicating acceptable levels. However, the non-carcinogenic risk values for Mn, Cr, and As were relatively high; specifically, Ordos City displayed the highest non-carcinogenic risk values for Mn (7.74×10⁻¹) and Cr (2.97×10⁻²), while Chifeng City recorded the highest value for As (2.34×10⁻³). The carcinogenic risk values for As, Cd, Cr, and Ni fell within the range of 1×10⁻⁹ to 1×10⁻⁵, representing an acceptable level. The health risks varied with age, and the elderly residents faced the highest non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks. Conclusion While the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks from heavy metals and metalloids within atmospheric PM_2.5 in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region are generally within acceptable limits, the potential risks that Mn, As, and Cr pose to the health of elderly people warrants particular attention, and Ordos and Chifeng cities exhibit notably higher health risks among other areas. It is recommended that regular, long-term monitoring be conducted, taking into account the specific conditions at monitoring sites across each league (city), and that targeted air quality management strategies be implemented to protect public health.

Objective To investigate the impacts of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block(SGB)on hemodynamics and postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery.Methods From January 2024 to June 2024,120 patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery in our hospital were randomly assigned into general anesthesia group(n=60,implementing general anesthesia)and assisted SGB group(n=60,implementing ultrasound-guided SGB combined with general anesthesia).The intraoperative hemodynamics,postoperative stress status[serum cortisol(Cor)and interleukin-6(IL-6)],postoperative pain level[evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS)score],postoperative biomarkers[serum matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)and neurospecific protein S-100β(S-100β)],and postoperative cognitive function[evaluated using the mini-mental state examination(MMSE)]were compared between the two groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and surgical time between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).After induction of anesthesia(T1),the mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)of the two groups of patients were significantly lower than when they entered the operating room(T0),the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The MAP and HR during the beginning of the surgery(T2),30 min after the start of the surgery(T3),and at the end of the surgery(T4)were higher than those at T0,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).While the MAP and HR in the assisted SGB group during T1,T2,T3 and T4 time points were lower than those in the general anesthesia group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The VAS scores of the assisted SGB group were significantly lower than those of the general anesthesia group at 12 and 24 h after surgery,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The levels of serum Cor and IL-6 in the two groups at 12 and 24 h after surgery were higher than those at 1 d before surgery,but the levels of serum Cor and IL-6 in the assisted SGB group were lower than those in the general anesthesia group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The levels of serum MMP-9 and S-100β in the two groups at 24 and 72 h after surgery were higher than those at 1 d before surgery(P<0.05),but the levels of serum MMP-9 and S-100β in the assisted SGB group were lower than those in the general anesthesia group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The MMSE score of the two groups at 3 and 5 d after surgery were lower than those at 1 d before surgery,but the MMSE score of the assisted SGB group was higher than that of the general anesthesia group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The implementation of ultrasound-guided SGB during shoulder arthroscopic surgery can maintain intraoperative hemodynamic stability,obviously alleviate postoperative stress and pain,obviously reduce serum MMP-9 and serum S-100β levels,and help alleviate postoperative cognitive dysfunction.It is worthy clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess with extrahepatic invasive infection.Methods:We collected and analyzed clinical data from patients diagnosed with invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess syndrome (IKPLAS) at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from March 2017 to March 2023. The analysis summarized the clinical characteristics and prognosis of these patients based on the clinical information, laboratory tests, and imaging findings.Results:The clinical characteristics included chills, fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Eight cases showed elevated total white blood cell counts, while 9 cases had increased neutrophil counts. Abdominal imaging typically showed low-density massesor patchy shadows in the liver. Nine cases were complicated by lung abscesses, 1 case by bilateral pyopneumothorax, 1 case by abdominal and splenic abscesses, 2 cases by endophthalmitis. Seven patients were initially treated with carbapenem antibiotics alone, and 4 received combination therapy. Nine patients improved and were discharged, while 1 patient′s condition worsened and died.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess with extrahepatic invasive infection are nonspecific, and the onset is insidious with rapid disease progression. Early imaging and microbiological examinations should be performed to confirm the diagnosis and screen all infection sites. Timely antimicrobial therapy and drainage are essential for improving the prognosis.
