ObjectiveTransfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) is a common fatal transfusion adverse reaction. Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I is an important factor involved in the pathogenesis of TRALI; however, the role of complement in itspathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. This study aims to explore the role of complement in MHC class I antibody-mediated TRALI, so as to provide a theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment. MethodsThis study established a murine model of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) based on the "two-hit" theory, with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as the first hit and MHC class I antibody as the second hit. Male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into seven groups (n=5 per group per experiment): Naive (blank control), LPS (first hit only), Isotype (isotype antibody control), TRALI (model group), C5aR1 inhi (C5aR1 antagonist intervention), C5aR2 inhi (C5aR2 antagonist intervention), and Anti-C5 (anti-complement C5 antibody intervention). Rectal temperature was monitored after MHC class I antibody injection. After sample collection, the severity of pulmonary edema was assessed by measuring the lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, histological analysis, and immunohistochemistry. Serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were collected to measure cytokine and complement levels. ResultsMice in the TRALI group exhibited a significant decrease in rectal temperature, an increased lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, elevated serum cytokine levels, and markedly heightened complement C5a levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (P<0.000 1). Histopathological examination revealed substantial infiltration of inflammatory cells, predominantly neutrophils accompanied by fewer lymphocytes, plasma cells, and monocytes, along with increased deposition of the membrane attack complex C5b-9 in lung tissues. In contrast, mice treated with anti-C5 antibody demonstrated no significant decrease in rectal temperature. The lung wet-to-dry weight ratio in this group showed no statistical difference compared to either the Naive or Isotype control groups (P>0.05). Furthermore, these mice displayed reduced serum cytokine levels, a significant attenuation of inflammatory cell infiltration in the lungs, and a 100% survival rate at the 2-hour time point. However, mice administered either the C5aR1 antagonist or the C5aR2 antagonist failed to be protected and subsequently developed TRALI. ConclusionComplement activation, which forms the membrane attack complex C5b-9, plays a critical role in MHC class I antibody-mediated TRALI. Blocking complement C5 activation can effectively prevent the occurrence of TRALI.

Objective: To explore the role of the c.598G>A mutation of the ITGB3 gene in the occurrence of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) through its expression in vitro. Methods: The platelet antibodies in the sera of the affected neonate and her mother were detected using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), solid-phase agglutination, flow cytometry and the gold standard monoclonal antibody-specific immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA). The common human platelet antigen (HPA) genotypes of the neonate and her parents were obtained using the HPA-SSP method. The presence of mutations was analyzed by sequencing the exons of the ITGB3 and ITGA2B genes. The target gene of ITGB3 was obtained by PCR amplification using the existing human platelet cDNA. The wild-type ITGB3 eukaryotic expression vector was constructed by TA cloning technology. The 598G>A mutant ITGB3 eukaryotic expression vector was obtained by point mutation, and the plasmid DNA was co-transfected with that of ITGA2B (αⅡb) into HEK293 cells. The transfected cells stably expressing GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa were screened and obtained. The expression of GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa in 598G>A mutant transfected cells and the presence of antibodies against this mutation in the serum of mother were detected by flow cytometry and MAIPA. Results: Antibodies against HLA-class Ⅰ and GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa glycoproteins were detected in the serum of the neonate's mother, and subsequent HLA antibody-specific testing confirmed the presence of antibodies against HLA-B
57∶01 and A
02∶05. ITGB3 sequencing showed that the neonate and her father carried the c.598G>A point mutation, which results in the change of glutamate to lysine at position 200. Antibodies against GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa glycoproteins were not detected using constructed c.598G>A mutant transfected cells reacted with the maternal serum. Conclusion: The in vitro expression and analysis of the ITGB3 c.598G>A mutation did not support a role for this mutation in the pathogenesis of FNAIT. The establishment of this method facilitates the discovery of new platelet low-frequency antigens, and provides a theoretical foundation for the detection of antibodies against platelet antigens associated with patients with adverse pregnancy and childbirth histories.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of urethral stent tube irrigation in preventing postoperative complications in adolescents with hypospadias.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted using the clinical data of adolescents with hypospadias treated at the Department of Urology, Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, from April 2016 to July 2023. Patients were divided into control group and study group according to whether urethral stent tube was inserted in urethra during operation. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon. For two days before surgery, patients were instructed to cleanse the surgical site daily with body wash and a 5% povidone-iodine solution. In the control group, patients received postoperative care with an indwelling urinary catheter. In the study group, in addition to the urinary catheter, a urethral stent tube was placed in the posterior urethra, and postoperative urethral irrigation with saline was performed. Postoperative complications, including wound infection, urethral fistula, urethral stricture, and urethral diverticulum, were monitored. Categorical data were expressed as frequencies and percentages and were analyzed using the χ2 test or Monte Carlo-based χ2 test. Continuous data with normal distribution are presented as Mean±SD and were analyzed using the t-test. Non-normally distributed continuous data were expressed as M ( Q1, Q3) and were analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 76 patients were enrolled in the study, with 43 patients in the control group [median age 12.9(12.2, 13.7) years, reconstructed urethral length (3.88±1.86) cm] and 33 patients in the study group [median age 12.5(11.3, 14.1) years, reconstructed urethral length (3.30±1.45)cm]. Postoperatively, 32 patients (74.4%) in the control group experienced complications, including 24 cases (55.8%) of wound infection, 16 cases (37.2%) of urethral fistula, 6 cases (14.0%) of urethral stricture, and 2 cases (4.7%) of diverticulum. In the study group, only 1 patient (3.0%) developed both wound infection and urethral fistula. The incidence of wound infection, urethral fistula, and overall complications was significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (all P<0.01). Conclusion:Postoperative urethral stent irrigation in adolescents with hypospadias significantly reduces the incidence of wound infection and urethral fistula.

Objective:
To understand the prevalence rate of pre myopia among preschoolers and its associated factors, so as to provide a basis for the formulation of myopia prevention and control policies.
Methods:
In May 2022, a tatol of 1 070 preschoolers in the Science City Area of Mianyang City were selected by using a cluster sampling method. The visual acuity of preschool children was obtained through refractive examination, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate associated factors of myopia in the preclinical stage by Chi square test and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.
Results:
The prevalence rate of pre myopia in preschoolers was 67.01%, including 66.30% for boys and 67.76% for girls. There was no significant difference by sex( χ 2=0.26, P > 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that at least one parent with myopia, too much near work activities, time spent on outdoor activity <2 h per day, lack of sleep, and screen time ≥1 h per day were positively correlated with the occurrence of pre myopia( OR =1.62, 1.46, 1.46, 1.38, 1.53, P <0.01).
Conclusion
The prevalence of pre myopia among preschool children in Science City Area is high. It is suggested that parents, kindergartens and relevant departments should pay attention to the visual status of preschoolers, increase outdoor activities, ensure adequate sleep and train preschoolers to develop scientific eye hygiene habits.
