Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of intestinal tissue metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in severe diarrhea following haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:Sixteen patients who developed severe diarrhea or hematochezia after haploidentical allo-HSCT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University (June 2023–August 2024) were enrolled. All underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy and mNGS for microbial detection. Clinical, endoscopic, pathological, and microbiological data were analyzed to evaluate the diagnostic value of mNGS and treatment outcomes following targeted therapy.Results:The study included 16 patients (12 males, 4 females; median age 32.5 years, range 3–60 years). Diarrhea occurred a median of 3.93 months post-transplant (range 1.63–10.40 months). Stool cultures were negative except for one case with Candida. One patient tested positive for Clostridium difficile antigen. Endoscopy revealed mucosal congestion, edema, erosion, and bleeding, with focal inflammation on pathology. mNGS detected pathogens in 87.5% (14/16) of cases, including mixed infections in 78.5% (11/14). Common pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, Rhizopus microsporus, EBV, and CMV. Targeted treatment adjustments led to symptom improvement in 87.5% of patients.Conclusion:Allo-HSCT patients are prone to infectious diarrhea due to immunosuppression. Molecular analysis of endoscopic biopsy tissues using mNGS can accurately identify pathogens, guide targeted therapy, and improve clinical outcomes.

Objective To investigate the infection of human parvovirus B19 in Suzhou voluntary blood donors under the current blood screening model. Methods A total of 893 blood donor samples from September to December 2022 were randomly collected. Samples were tested to determine the seroprevalence (anti-B19 IgG and IgM) of B19 antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and B19 DNA of positive samples was further detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) assay. Results Among 893 samples, the total seroprevalence of B19 antibody was 20.7% (185/893), with anti-B19 IgG and IgM positive rate at 19.4% (173/893) and 1.9% (17/893), respectively, showing significant difference (P<0.05). No difference in the positive rates of B19 IgG and IgM (20.1%, 1.5% vs 18.0%,2.6%) was noticed by gender(P>0.05). The prevalence of anti-B19 IgG statistically increased with age (P<0.05), while there was no difference in the prevalence of anti-B19 IgM (P>0.05). No statistical difference was not found in anti-B19 IgG and IgM samples among different blood groups. The anti-B19 IgG in repeated blood donors was higher than that in first-time donors(21.5% vs 15.9%)(P<0.05) while there was no difference in the positive rate of IgM antibodies (P>0.05). Three cases were found to be positive for B19 DNA in the B19 antibody positive samples, with the positive rate at 1.6%(3/185). Conclusion Although the prevalence of B19 infection in Suzhou was lower than that in other areas and was mostly past infection, there was still a certain proportion of persistent infection and acute infection, which posed the potential risk of blood transfusion transmission. Therefore, attention should be paid to blood transfusions, especially for the high-risk and susceptible groups.

Objective To investigate the current situation of the use of standard medical terminologies in journal, and analysis the reasons and then find the solutions.Methods Through searching the WANFANG database, we selected the nonstandard and standard terms of 100 common medical terminologies as Search Words, all the fields as Search Options to trace articles in periodicals from Jan.2011 to Dec.2013.After getting the top ten ranked words, the rate of use of the standard terms was analyzed.Results Some journals still use nonstandard terms, standard terms were mixed up with nonstandard terms in all of the 100 medical terminologies.Conclusions More attention should be paid to the use of the standard medical terms in periodicals to unify and standardize the use of medical terms.
